Add support for deferrable timers
Introduce a new flag for timers - deferrable: Timers that work normally
when system is busy. But, will not cause CPU to come out of idle (just to
service this timer), when CPU is idle. Instead, this timer will be
serviced when CPU eventually wakes up with a subsequent non-deferrable
timer.
The main advantage of this is to avoid unnecessary timer interrupts when
CPU is idle. If the routine currently called by a timer can wait until
next event without any issues, this new timer can be used to setup timer
event for that routine. This, with dynticks, allows CPUs to be lazy,
allowing them to stay in idle for extended period of time by reducing
unnecesary wakeup and thereby reducing the power consumption.
This patch:
Builds this new timer on top of existing timer infrastructure. It uses
last bit in 'base' pointer of timer_list structure to store this deferrable
timer flag. __next_timer_interrupt() function skips over these deferrable
timers when CPU looks for next timer event for which it has to wake up.
This is exported by a new interface init_timer_deferrable() that can be
called in place of regular init_timer().

parport->dev driver model support
Currently a parport_driver can't get a handle on the device node for the
underlying parport (PNPACPI, PCI, etc). That prevents correct placement of
sysfs child nodes, which can affect things like power management.
This patch adds a field to "struct parport" pointing to that device node, and
updates non-legacy port drivers to initialize that device pointer. That field
replaces the analagous PCI-only support in parport_pc.

fix sscanf %n match at end of input string
I was playing with some code that sometimes got a string where a %n
match should have been done where the input string ended, for example
like this:
sscanf("abc123", "abc%d%n", &a, &n); /* doesn't work */
sscanf("abc123a", "abc%d%n", &a, &n); /* works */
However, the scanf function in the kernel doesn't convert the %n in that

completely stops matching then. This patch fixes that.

This patch moves the die notifier handling to common code. Previous
various architectures had exactly the same code for it. Note that the new
code is compiled unconditionally, this should be understood as an appel to
the other architecture maintainer to implement support for it aswell (aka
sprinkling a notify_die or two in the proper place)
arm had a notifiy_die that did something totally different, I renamed it to
arm_notify_die as part of the patch and made it static to the file it's
declared and used at. avr32 used to pass slightly less information through
this interface and I brought it into line with the other architectures.

While researching the tty layer pid leaks I found a weird case in selinux when
we drop a controlling tty because of inadequate permissions we don't do the
normal hangup processing. Which is a problem if it happens the session leader
has exec'd something that can no longer access the tty.
We already have code in the kernel to handle this case in the form of the
TIOCNOTTY ioctl. So this patch factors out a helper function that is the
essence of that ioctl and calls it from the selinux code.
This removes the inconsistency in handling dropping of a controlling tty and
who knows it might even make some part of user space happy because it received
a SIGHUP it was expecting.
In addition since this removes the last user of proc_set_tty outside of

Fixes and cleanups for earlyprintk aka boot console
The console subsystem already has an idea of a boot console, using the
CON_BOOT flag. The implementation has some flaws though. The major
problem is that presence of a boot console makes register_console() ignore
any other console devices (unless explicitly specified on the kernel
command line).
This patch fixes the console selection code to *not* consider a boot
console a full-featured one, so the first non-boot console registering will
become the default console instead. This way the unregister call for the
boot console in the register_console() function actually triggers and the
handover from the boot console to the real console device works smoothly.
Added a printk for the handover, so you know which console device the
output goes to when the boot console stops printing messages.
The disable_early_printk() call is obsolete with that patch, explicitly
disabling the early console isn't needed any more as it works automagically
with that patch.
I've walked through the tree, dropped all disable_early_printk() instances
found below arch/ and tagged the consoles with CON_BOOT if needed. The
code is tested on x86, sh (thanks to Paul) and mips (thanks to Ralf).

proc: maps protection
The /proc/pid/ "maps", "smaps", and "numa_maps" files contain sensitive
information about the memory location and usage of processes. Issues:
- maps should not be world-readable, especially if programs expect any
kind of ASLR protection from local attackers.
- maps cannot just be 0400 because "-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -O2" makes glibc
check the maps when %n is in a *printf call, and a setuid(getuid())
process wouldn't be able to read its own maps file. (For reference
see http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/1/22/150)
- a system-wide toggle is needed to allow prior behavior in the case of
non-root applications that depend on access to the maps contents.
This change implements a check using "ptrace_may_attach" before allowing
access to read the maps contents. To control this protection, the new knob
/proc/sys/kernel/maps_protect has been added, with corresponding updates to
the procfs documentation.

add filesystem subtype support
There's a slight problem with filesystem type representation in fuse
based filesystems.
From the kernel's view, there are just two filesystem types: fuse and
fuseblk. From the user's view there are lots of different filesystem
types. The user is not even much concerned if the filesystem is fuse based
or not. So there's a conflict of interest in how this should be
represented in fstab, mtab and /proc/mounts.
The current scheme is to encode the real filesystem type in the mount
source. So an sshfs mount looks like this:
This url-ish syntax works OK for sshfs and similar filesystems. However
for block device based filesystems (ntfs-3g, zfs) it doesn't work, since
the kernel expects the mount source to be a real device name.
A possibly better scheme would be to encode the real type in the type
field as "type.subtype". So fuse mounts would look like this:

epoll: optimizations and cleanups
Epoll is doing multiple passes over the ready set at the moment, because of
the constraints over the f_op->poll() call. Looking at the code again, I
noticed that we already hold the epoll semaphore in read, and this
(together with other locking conditions that hold while doing an
epoll_wait()) can lead to a smarter way [1] to "ship" events to userspace
(in a single pass).
This is a stress application that can be used to test the new code. It
spwans multiple thread and call epoll_wait() and epoll_ctl() from many
threads. Stress tested on my dual Opteron 254 w/out any problems.
http://www.xmailserver.org/totalmess.c
This is not a benchmark, just something that tries to stress and exploit
possible problems with the new code.
Also, I made a stupid micro-benchmark:
http://www.xmailserver.org/epwbench.c
[1] Considering that epoll must be thread-safe, there are five ways we can
be hit during an epoll_wait() transfer loop (ep_send_events()):
1) The epoll fd going away and calling ep_free
This just can't happen, since we did an fget() in sys_epoll_wait
2) An epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DEL)
This can't happen because epoll_ctl() gets ep->sem in write, and
we're holding it in read during ep_send_events()
3) An fd stored inside the epoll fd going away
This can't happen because in eventpoll_release_file() we get
ep->sem in write, and we're holding it in read during
ep_send_events()
4) Another epoll_wait() happening on another thread
They both can be inside ep_send_events() at the same time, we get
(splice) the ready-list under the spinlock, so each one will get
its own ready list. Note that an fd cannot be at the same time
inside more than one ready list, because ep_poll_callback() will
not re-queue it if it sees it already linked:
if (ep_is_linked(&epi->rdllink))
goto is_linked;
Another case that can happen, is two concurrent epoll_wait(),
coming in with a userspace event buffer of size, say, ten.
Suppose there are 50 event ready in the list. The first
epoll_wait() will "steal" the whole list, while the second, seeing
no events, will go to sleep. But at the end of ep_send_events() in
the first epoll_wait(), we will re-inject surplus ready fds, and we
will trigger the proper wake_up to the second epoll_wait().
5) ep_poll_callback() hitting us asyncronously
This is the tricky part. As I said above, the ep_is_linked() test
done inside ep_poll_callback(), will guarantee us that until the
item will result linked to a list, ep_poll_callback() will not try
to re-queue it again (read, write data on any of its members). When
we do a list_del() in ep_send_events(), the item will still satisfy
the ep_is_linked() test (whatever data is written in prev/next,
it'll never be its own pointer), so ep_poll_callback() will still
leave us alone. It's only after the eventual smp_mb()+INIT_LIST_HEAD(&epi->rdllink)
that it'll become visible to ep_poll_callback(), but at the point
we're already past it.

exec: fix remove_arg_zero
Petr Tesarik discovered a problem in remove_arg_zero(). He writes:
When a script is loaded, load_script() replaces argv[0] with the
name of the interpreter and the filename passed to the exec syscall.
However, there is no guarantee that the length of the interpreter
name plus the length of the filename is greater than the length of
the original argv[0]. If the difference happens to cross a page boundary,
setup_arg_pages() will call put_dirty_page() [aka install_arg_page()]
with an address outside the VMA.
Therefore, remove_arg_zero() must free all pages which would be unused
after the argument is removed.
So, rewrite the remove_arg_zero function without gotos, with a few comments,
and with the commonly used explicit index/offset. This fixes the problem
and makes it easier to understand as well.

timestamps into the distant past.
If we are only interested in fixing the underflow case, we could just
limit the values to 0 instead of storing negative values. At worst this
will skew the timestamp by a few hours for timezones in the far east
(files would still show Jan 1, 1970 in "ls -l" output).
That said, it seems 32-bit systems (mine at least) allow files to be set
into the past (01/01/1907 works fine) so it seems this patch is bringing
the x86_64 behaviour into sync with other kernels.
