Al Viro bf7da7bcfb [PATCH] remove horrors with irix tty ioctls handling
Existing code in there (get_tty(), etc.) is both severely
racy *and* pointless: ioctls in question have Linux equivalents
and there's no need to play silly buggers in irix_ioctl() -
just need to replace arguments and, in case of TIOCGSID,
deal with API differences - Linux one expects pid_t __user *
while Irix one does unsigned long __user *.  BFD...

Roman Zippel f8bd2258e2 remove div_long_long_rem
x86 is the only arch right now, which provides an optimized for
div_long_long_rem and it has the downside that one has to be very careful that
the divide doesn't overflow.

The API is a little akward, as the arguments for the unsigned divide are
signed.  The signed version also doesn't handle a negative divisor and
produces worse code on 64bit archs.

There is little incentive to keep this API alive, so this converts the few
users to the new API.

Jan Blunck 4ac9137858 Embed a struct path into struct nameidata instead of nd->{dentry,mnt}
This is the central patch of a cleanup series. In most cases there is no good
reason why someone would want to use a dentry for itself. This series reflects
that fact and embeds a struct path into nameidata.

Together with the other patches of this series
- it enforced the correct order of getting/releasing the reference count on
  <dentry,vfsmount> pairs
- it prepares the VFS for stacking support since it is essential to have a
  struct path in every place where the stack can be traversed
- it reduces the overall code size:

Bernhard Walle 72a7fe3967 Introduce flags for reserve_bootmem()
This patchset adds a flags variable to reserve_bootmem() and uses the
BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE flag in crashkernel reservation code to detect collisions
between crashkernel area and already used memory.

This patch:

Change the reserve_bootmem() function to accept a new flag BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE.
If that flag is set, the function returns with -EBUSY if the memory already
has been reserved in the past.  This is to avoid conflicts.

Because that code runs before SMP initialisation, there's no race condition
inside reserve_bootmem_core().

I've verified that this is correct for all users.

While doing the latter, I also did the following cleanups:

- ensure all users #include <linux/delay.h>

This fixes the following section mismatches with CONFIG_HOTPLUG=n,

Eric Dumazet 9cfe015aa4 get rid of NR_OPEN and introduce a sysctl_nr_open
NR_OPEN (historically set to 1024*1024) actually forbids processes to open
more than 1024*1024 handles.

Unfortunatly some production servers hit the not so 'ridiculously high
value' of 1024*1024 file descriptors per process.

Changing NR_OPEN is not considered safe because of vmalloc space potential
exhaust.

This patch introduces a new sysctl (/proc/sys/fs/nr_open) wich defaults to
1024*1024, so that admins can decide to change this limit if their workload
needs it.

Davide Libenzi 4d672e7ac7 timerfd: new timerfd API
This is the new timerfd API as it is implemented by the following patch:

int timerfd_create(int clockid, int flags);
int timerfd_settime(int ufd, int flags,
		    const struct itimerspec *utmr,
		    struct itimerspec *otmr);
int timerfd_gettime(int ufd, struct itimerspec *otmr);

The timerfd_create() API creates an un-programmed timerfd fd.  The "clockid"
parameter can be either CLOCK_MONOTONIC or CLOCK_REALTIME.

The timerfd_settime() API give new settings by the timerfd fd, by optionally
retrieving the previous expiration time (in case the "otmr" parameter is not
NULL).

The time value specified in "utmr" is absolute, if the TFD_TIMER_ABSTIME bit
is set in the "flags" parameter.  Otherwise it's a relative time.

The timerfd_gettime() API returns the next expiration time of the timer, or
{0, 0} if the timerfd has not been set yet.

Like the previous timerfd API implementation, read(2) and poll(2) are
supported (with the same interface).  Here's a simple test program I used to
exercise the new timerfd APIs:

Ralf Baechle a055917e1b [MIPS] Fix build after b0rked changes to <linux/init.h>.
Commit 312b1485fb made __INIT_REFOK expand
into .section .section ".ref.text", "ax".  Since the assembler doesn't
tolerate stuttering in the source that broke all MIPS builds.

Since with this change Sam downgraded __INIT_REFOK the best fix is to
get replace it by the modern days operator.  With MIPS the only user
of __INIT_REFOK and __INITDATA_REFOK (which was equally broken) being
unused anyway these can be deleted but that's subject of a separate
commit.

Ralf Baechle 5f627f8e12 mips, x86: optimize the i8259 code a bit
The timer code always calls the clock_event_device set_net_event and
set_mode methods with interrupts disabled, so no need to use
spin_lock_irqsave / spin_unlock_irqrestore for those.

Manuel Lauss 237cfee1db [MIPS] Alchemy: Au1210/Au1250 CPU support
This patch adds IDs for new Au1200 variants: Au1210 and Au1250.
They are essentially identical to the Au1200 except for the Au1210
which has a different SoC-ID in the PRId register [bits 31:24].
The Au1250 is a "Au1200 V0.2".
