.exit.* sections are discarded when a module is built-in and

[PATCH] Provide an interface for getting the current tick length
This provides an interface for arch code to find out how many
nanoseconds are going to be added on to xtime by the next call to
do_timer. The value returned is a fixed-point number in 52.12 format
in nanoseconds. The reason for this format is that it gives the
full precision that the timekeeping code is using internally.
The motivation for this is to fix a problem that has arisen on 32-bit
powerpc in that the value returned by do_gettimeofday drifts apart
from xtime if NTP is being used. PowerPC is now using a lockless
do_gettimeofday based on reading the timebase register and performing
some simple arithmetic. (This method of getting the time is also
exported to userspace via the VDSO.) However, the factor and offset
it uses were calculated based on the nominal tick length and weren't
being adjusted when NTP varied the tick length.
Note that 64-bit powerpc has had the lockless do_gettimeofday for a
long time now. It also had an extremely hairy routine that got called
from the 32-bit compat routine for adjtimex, which adjusted the
factor and offset according to what it thought the timekeeping code
was going to do. Not only was this only called if a 32-bit task did
adjtimex (i.e. not if a 64-bit task did adjtimex), it was also
duplicating computations from kernel/timer.c and it wasn't clear that
it was (still) correct.
The simple solution is to ask the timekeeping code how long the
current jiffy will be on each timer interrupt, after calling
do_timer. If this jiffy will be a different length from the last one,
we then need to compute new values for the factor and offset used in
the lockless do_gettimeofday. In this way we can keep xtime and
do_gettimeofday in sync, even when NTP is varying the tick length.
Note that when adjtimex varies the tick length, it almost always
introduces the variation from the next tick on. The only case I could
see where adjtimex would vary the length of the current tick is when
an old-style adjtime adjustment is being cancelled. (It's not clear
to me why the adjustment has to be cancelled immediately rather than
from the next tick on.) Thus I don't see any real need for a hook in
adjtimex; the rare case of an old-style adjustment being cancelled can
be fixed up at the next tick.

The driver should set the correct initial authentication mode based on

[PATCH] ocfs2: add dlm_wait_for_node_death
* add dlm_wait_for_node_death function to be used after receiving a network
error. this will wait for the given timeout to allow the heartbeat
callbacks to update the domain map. without this, some paths may spin
and consume enough cpu that the heartbeat gets starved and never updates.

[MMC] mmci: allow small data transfers
If a data transfer is small (less than a FIFO size) we would
hang waiting for the data to be read due to the PIO interrupt
not occuring. We allowed for this in our PIO interrupt handler,
but not when setting up a data transfer.
Apply the "fix" when setting up a data transfer as well.

[PATCH] Fix over-zealous tag clearing in radix_tree_delete
If a tag is set for a node being deleted from a radix_tree, then that
tag gets cleared from the parent of the node, even if it is set for some
siblings of the node begin deleted.
This patch changes the logic to include a test for any_tag_set similar
to the logic a little futher down. Care is taken to ensure that
'nr_cleared_tags' remains equals to the number of entries in the 'tags'
array which are set to '0' (which means that this tag is not set in the
tree below pathp->node, and should be cleared at pathp->node and
possibly above.
[ Nick says: "Linus FYI, I was able to modify the radix tree test
harness to catch the bug and can no longer trigger it after the fix.
Resulting code passes all other harness tests as well of course." ]

[ARM] Fix SMP initialisation oops
A change to the SMP initialisation caused the following oops:
CPU1: Booted secondary processor
CPU1: D VIPT write-back cache
CPU1: I cache: 32768 bytes, associativity 4, 32 byte lines, 256 sets
CPU1: D cache: 32768 bytes, associativity 4, 32 byte lines, 256 sets
<7>Calibrating delay loop... 83.14 BogoMIPS (lpj=415744)
<1>Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000001c
...
PC is at enqueue_task+0x1c/0x64
LR is at activate_task+0xcc/0xe4
SMP initialisation now requires cpu_possible_map to be initialised in
setup_arch(). Move this from smp_prepare_cpus() to smp_init_cpus()
and call it from our setup_arch() if CONFIG_SMP is enabled.
