f2df3f65d0 kallsyms should prefer non weak symbols
When resolving symbol names from addresses with aliased symbol names,
kallsyms_lookup always returns the first symbol, even if it is a weak
symbol.

This patch changes this by sorting the symbols with the weak symbols last
before feeding them to the kernel.  This way the kernel runtime isn't
changed at all, only the kallsyms build system is changed.

Another side effect is that the symbols get sorted by address, too.  So,
even if future binutils version have some bug in "nm" that makes it fail to
correctly sort symbols by address, the kernel won't be affected by this.

Mathieu says:

  I created a module in LTTng that uses kallsyms to get the symbol
  corresponding to a specific system call address.  Unfortunately, all the
  unimplemented syscalls were all referring to the (same) weak symbol
  identifying an unrelated system call rather that sys_ni (or whatever
  non-weak symbol would be expected).  Kallsyms was dumbly returning the first
  symbol that matched.

  This patch makes sure kallsyms returns the non-weak symbol when there is
  one, which seems to be the expected result.

0d71bd5993 inotify: remove debug code
The inotify debugging code is supposed to verify that the
DCACHE_INOTIFY_PARENT_WATCHED scalability optimisation does not result in
notifications getting lost nor extra needless locking generated.

Unfortunately there are also some races in the debugging code.  And it isn't
very good at finding problems anyway.  So remove it for now.

d599e36a9e inotify: fix race
There is a race between setting an inode's children's "parent watched" flag
when placing the first watch on a parent, and instantiating new children of
that parent: a child could miss having its flags set by
set_dentry_child_flags, but then inotify_d_instantiate might still see
!inotify_inode_watched.

The solution is to set_dentry_child_flags after adding the watch.  Locking is
taken care of, because both set_dentry_child_flags and inotify_d_instantiate
hold dcache_lock and child->d_locks.

d99c4f6b13 Remove rcu_assign_pointer() penalty for NULL pointers
The rcu_assign_pointer() primitive currently unconditionally executes a
memory barrier, even when a NULL pointer is being assigned.  This has lead
some to avoid using rcu_assign_pointer() for NULL pointers, which loses the
self-documenting advantages of rcu_assign_pointer() This patch uses
__builtin_const_p() to omit needless memory barriers for NULL-pointer
assignments at compile time with no runtime penalty, as discussed in the
following thread:

	http://www.mail-archive.com/netdev@vger.kernel.org/msg54852.html

Tested on x86_64 and ppc64, also compiled the four cases (NULL/non-NULL
and const/non-const) with gcc version 4.1.2, and hand-checked the
assembly output.

5ab24c79af Fix __const_udelay declaration and definition mismatches
The declaration and implementation of __const_udelay use different
names for the parameter on a number of architectures:

include/asm-avr32/delay.h:15:extern void __const_udelay(unsigned long usecs);
arch/avr32/lib/delay.c:39:inline void __const_udelay(unsigned long xloops)

include/asm-sh/delay.h:15:extern void __const_udelay(unsigned long usecs);
arch/sh/lib/delay.c:22:inline void __const_udelay(unsigned long xloops)

include/asm-m32r/delay.h:15:extern void __const_udelay(unsigned long usecs);
arch/m32r/lib/delay.c:58:void __const_udelay(unsigned long xloops)

include/asm-x86/delay.h:16:extern void __const_udelay(unsigned long usecs);
arch/x86/lib/delay_32.c:82:inline void __const_udelay(unsigned long xloops)
arch/x86/lib/delay_64.c:46:inline void __const_udelay(unsigned long xloops)

The units of the parameter isn't usecs, so that name is definitely
wrong.  It's also not exactly loops, so I suppose xloops is an OK
name.

This patch changes these names from usecs to xloops.

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.

ece95912db inotify: send IN_ATTRIB events when link count changes
Currently, no notification event has been sent when inode's link count
changed.  This is inconvenient for the application in some cases:

Suppose you have the following directory structure

    foo/test
    bar/

and you watch test.  If someone does "mv foo/test bar/", you get event
IN_MOVE_SELF and you know something has happened with the file "test".
However if someone does "ln foo/test bar/test" and "rm foo/test" you get no
inotify event for the file "test" (only directories "foo" and "bar" receive
events).

Furthermore it could be argued that link count belongs to file's metadata and
thus IN_ATTRIB should be sent when it changes.

The following patch implements sending of IN_ATTRIB inotify events when link
count of the inode changes, i.e., when a hardlink to the inode is created or
when it is removed.  This event is sent in addition to all the events sent so
far.  In particular, when a last link to a file is removed, IN_ATTRIB event is
sent in addition to IN_DELETE_SELF event.

5bd91f18be tpm.c: fix crash during device removal
The clean up procedure now uses platform device "release" callback to
handle memory clean up.  For this purpose "release" function callback was
added to struct tpm_vendor_specific, so hw device driver provider can get
called when it is safe to remove all allocated resources.

This is supposed to fix a bug in device removal, where device while in
receive function (waiting on timeout) was prone to segfault, if the
tpm_chip struct was unallocated before the timeout expired (in
tpm_remove_hardware).

Given a number of places in the tree that need to calculate this value
explicitly, might as well just create a macro for it.

(akpm: must be implemented as a macro for callee typeof() usage)

5e2cb1018a time: fix sysfs_show_{available,current}_clocksources() buffer overflow problem
I found that there is a buffer overflow problem in the following code.

Version:	2.6.24-rc2,
File:		kernel/time/clocksource.c:417-432
--------------------------------------------------------------------
static ssize_t
sysfs_show_available_clocksources(struct sys_device *dev, char *buf)
{
	struct clocksource *src;
	char *curr = buf;

	spin_lock_irq(&clocksource_lock);
	list_for_each_entry(src, &clocksource_list, list) {
		curr += sprintf(curr, "%s ", src->name);
	}
	spin_unlock_irq(&clocksource_lock);

	curr += sprintf(curr, "\n");

	return curr - buf;
}
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

sysfs_show_current_clocksources() also has the same problem though in practice
the size of current clocksource's name won't exceed PAGE_SIZE.

I fix the bug by using snprintf according to the specification of the kernel
(Version:2.6.24-rc2,File:Documentation/filesystems/sysfs.txt)

Fix sysfs_show_available_clocksources() and sysfs_show_current_clocksources()
buffer overflow problem with snprintf().

If count reaches zero, the loop ends, but the postfix decrement still
subtracts: testing for 'count == 0' will not work.
