Make workqueue bit operations work on "atomic_long_t"
On architectures where the atomicity of the bit operations is handled by
external means (ie a separate spinlock to protect concurrent accesses),
just doing a direct assignment on the workqueue data field (as done by
commit 4594bf159f1962cec3b727954b7c598b07e2e737) can cause the
assignment to be lost due to lack of serialization with the bitops on
the same word.
So we need to serialize the assignment with the locks on those
architectures (notably older ARM chips, PA-RISC and sparc32).
So rather than using an "unsigned long", let's use "atomic_long_t",
which already has a safe assignment operation (atomic_long_set()) on
such architectures.
This requires that the atomic operations use the same atomicity locks as
the bit operations do, but that is largely the case anyway. Sparc32
will probably need fixing.
Architectures (including modern ARM with LL/SC) that implement sane
atomic operations for SMP won't see any of this matter.

The following scenario :
create dir a
create dir a/b
cd a/b (some process goes in cwd a/b)
rmdir a/b
rmdir a
fails due to the fact that "a" appears to be non empty. It is because
the "b" dentry is not deleted from "a" and still in use. The same
problem happens if "b" is a file. d_delete is nice enough to know when
it needs to unhash and free the dentry if nothing else is using it or,
if someone is using it, to remove it from the hash queues and wait for
it to be deleted when it has no users.
The nice side-effect of this fix is that it calls the file removal
notification.
DebugFS : more file/directory creation error handling
Correct dentry count to handle creation errors.
This patch puts a dput at the file creation instead of the file removal :
lookup_one_len already returns a dentry with reference count of 1. Then,
the dget() in simple_mknod increments it when the dentry is associated
with a file. In a scenario where simple_create or simple_mkdir returns
an error, this would lead to an unwanted increment of the reference
counter, therefore making file removal impossible.

[ARM] 4016/1: prefetch macro is wrong wrt gcc's "delete-null-pointer-checks"
optimization
The gcc manual says:
|`-fdelete-null-pointer-checks'
| Use global dataflow analysis to identify and eliminate useless
| checks for null pointers. The compiler assumes that dereferencing
| a null pointer would have halted the program. If a pointer is
| checked after it has already been dereferenced, it cannot be null.
| Enabled at levels `-O2', `-O3', `-Os'.
Because the constraint to the inline asm used in the prefetch() macro is
a memory operand, gcc assumes that the asm code does dereference the
pointer and the delete-null-pointer-checks optimization kicks in.
Inspection of generated assembly for the above example shows that bar()
is indeed called unconditionally without any test on the value of x.
Of course in the prefetch case there is no real dereference and it
cannot be assumed that a null pointer would have been caught at that
point. This causes kernel oopses with constructs like
hlist_for_each_entry() where the list's 'next' content is prefetched
before the pointer is tested against NULL, and only when gcc feels like
applying this optimization which doesn't happen all the time with more
complex code.
It appears that the way to prevent delete-null-pointer-checks
optimization to occur in this case is to make prefetch() into a static
inline function instead of a macro. At least this is what is done on
x86_64 where a similar inline asm memory operand is used (I presume they
would have seen the same problem if it didn't work) and resulting code
for the above example confirms that.
An alternative would consist of replacing the memory operand by a
register operand containing the pointer, and use the addressing mode
explicitly in the asm template. But that would be less optimal than an
offsettable memory reference.

[PATCH] Fix COW D-cache aliasing on fork
Problem:
1. There is a process containing two thread (T1 and T2). The
thread T1 calls fork(). Then dup_mmap() function called on T1 context.
static inline int dup_mmap(struct mm_struct *mm, struct mm_struct *oldmm)
...
flush_cache_mm(current->mm);
... /* A */
(write-protect all Copy-On-Write pages)
... /* B */
flush_tlb_mm(current->mm);
...
2. When preemption happens between A and B (or on SMP kernel), the
thread T2 can run and modify data on COW pages without page fault
(modified data will stay in cache).
3. Some time after fork() completed, the thread T2 may cause a page
fault by write-protect on a COW page.
4. Then data of the COW page will be copied to newly allocated
physical page (copy_cow_page()). It reads data via kernel mapping.
The kernel mapping can have different 'color' with user space
mapping of the thread T2 (dcache aliasing). Therefore
copy_cow_page() will copy stale data. Then the modified data in
cache will be lost.
In order to allow architecture code to deal with this problem allow
architecture code to override copy_user_highpage() by defining
__HAVE_ARCH_COPY_USER_HIGHPAGE in <asm/page.h>.

[PATCH] Add support for Korenix 16C950-based PCI cards
This adds initial support to 8250-pci for the Korenix Jetcard PCI serial
cards. The JC12xx cards are standard RS232-based serial cards utilising
the Oxford 16C950 device.
The JC14xx are RS422/RS485-based cards, but in order for these to be
supported natively, we will need additional tweaks to the 8250 layers so
we can specify some values for the 950's registers. Hence, these two
entries are commented out.

[PATCH] ide: HPT3xxN clocking fixes
Fix serious problems with the HPT372N clock turnaround code:
- the wrong ports were written to when called for the secondary channel;
- it didn't serialize access to the channels;
- turnaround shou;dn't be done on 66 MHz PCI;
- caching the clock mode per-channel caused it to get out of sync with the
actual register value.
Additionally, avoid calibrating PLL twice (for each channel) as the second try
results in a wrong PCI frequency and thus in the wrong timings.
Make the driver deal with HPT302N and HPT371N correctly -- the clocking and
(seemingly) a need for clock tunaround is the same as for HPT372N. HPT371/N
chips have only one, secondary channel, so avoid touching their "pure virtual"
primary channel, and disable it if the BIOS haven't done this already.
Also, while at it, disable UltraATA/133 for HPT372 by default -- 50 MHz DPLL
clock don't allow for this speed anyway. And remove the traces of the former
bad patch that wasn't even applicable to this version of driver.
Has been tested on HPT370/371N, unfortunately I don't have an instant access
to the other chips...

[PATCH] Optimize calc_load()
calc_load() is called by timer interrupt to update avenrun[]. It currently
calls nr_active() at each timer tick (HZ per second), while the update of
avenrun[] is done only once every 5 seconds. (LOAD_FREQ=5 Hz)
nr_active() is quite expensive on SMP machines, since it has to sum up
nr_running and nr_uninterruptible of all online CPUS, bringing foreign
dirty cache lines.
This patch is an optimization of calc_load() so that nr_active() is called
only if we need it.
The use of unlikely() is welcome since the condition is true only once every
5*HZ time.
