Fix soft-fp underflow handling.
The underflow exception cases were wrong.
This is one weird area of ieee1754 handling in that the underflow
behavior changes based upon whether underflow is enabled in the trap
enable mask of the FPU control register. As a specific case the Sparc
V9 manual gives us the following description:
--------------------
If UFM = 0: Underflow occurs if a nonzero result is tiny and a
loss of accuracy occurs. Tininess may be detected
before or after rounding. Loss of accuracy may be
either a denormalization loss or an inexact result.
If UFM = 1: Underflow occurs if a nonzero result is tiny.
Tininess may be detected before or after rounding.
--------------------
What this amounts to in the packing case is if we go subnormal,
we set underflow if any of the following are true:
1) rounding sets inexact
2) we ended up rounding back up to normal (this is the case where
we set the exponent to 1 and set the fraction to zero), this
should set inexact too
3) underflow is set in FPU control register trap-enable mask
The initially discovered example was "DBL_MIN / 16.0" which
incorrectly generated an underflow. It should not, unless underflow
is set in the trap-enable mask of the FPU csr.
Another example, "0x0.0000000000001p-1022 / 16.0", should signal both
inexact and underflow. The cpu implementations and ieee1754
literature is very clear about this. This is case #2 above.
However, if underflow is set in the trap enable mask, only underflow
should be set and reported as a trap. That is handled properly by the
prioritization logic in

It's just not worth it for serial ports, IMO. Serial ports are something
that just shouldn't break at this late stage in the game. My new Intel
platform boxes don't even have serial ports, so I question the value of
messing with serial port probing even more... because... just wait a year,

but the probe change seems questionable. That's sorta analagous to
rewriting the floppy driver probe routine. Sure you could do it... but why

nf_conntrack: don't track locally generated special ICMP error
[NETFILTER]: nf_conntrack: don't track locally generated special ICMP error
The conntrack assigned to locally generated ICMP error is usually the one
assigned to the original packet which has caused the error. But if
the original packet is handled as invalid by nf_conntrack, no conntrack
is assigned to the original packet. Then nf_ct_attach() cannot assign
any conntrack to the ICMP error packet. In that case the current
nf_conntrack_icmp assigns appropriate conntrack to it. But the current
code mistakes the direction of the packet. As a result, NAT code mistakes
the address to be mangled.
To fix the bug, this changes nf_conntrack_icmp not to assign conntrack
to such ICMP error. Actually no address is necessary to be mangled
in this case.

Revert commit 0555659d63c285ceb7ead3115532e1b71b0f27a7 from 2.6.22-rc1.
The dma_set_mask call somehow failed on a PowerMac G5, PPC64:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/8/1/344
Should there ever occur a DMA mapping beyond the physical DMA range, a
proper SBP-2 firmware will report transport errors. So let's leave it
at that.
With the cfq_queue hash removal, we inadvertently got rid of the
async queue sharing. This was not intentional, in fact CFQ purposely
shares the async queue per priority level to get good merging for
async writes.
So put some logic in cfq_get_queue() to track the shared queues.
Pointed out by Michal Schmidt <mschmidt@redhat.com>.
The bug was introduced in 2.6.22 by me.
cleanup_workqueue_thread() does flush_cpu_workqueue(cwq) in a loop until
->worklist becomes empty. This is live-lockable, a re-niced caller can get
CPU after wake_up() and insert a new barrier before the lower-priority
cwq->thread has a chance to clear ->current_work.
Change cleanup_workqueue_thread() to do flush_cpu_workqueue(cwq) only once.
We can rely on the fact that run_workqueue() won't return until it flushes
all works. So it is safe to call kthread_stop() after that, the "should
stop" request won't be noticed until run_workqueue() returns.

When user locks an ipc shmem segmant with SHM_LOCK ctl and the segment is

Other results of this are:
1. the new shp->mlock_user is not get-ed and will point to freed

2. the RLIMIT_MEMLOCK is screwed on both user structs.
Is there a reason why the "online" file in the subdirectories for the CPUs

security relevant especially now that a getcpu() syscall can be used to
determine what CPUa thread runs on.
The file is useful to correctly implement the sysconf() function to return
the number of online CPUs. In the presence of hotplug we currently cannot
provide this information. The patch below should to it.
