This fixes the problem that adapter id's are not the minor number for the i2c-dev devices anymore. Also adds a i2c-dev class to let userspace know which i2c-dev device is bound to which i2c adapter.

Noticed by Julie DeWandel <jdewand@redhat.com>. do_fork() needs to return the pid (or error), not the pointer to the resulting process structure. The process structure may not even be valid any more, since do_fork() has already woken the process up (and as a result it might already have done its thing and gone away). Besides, doing it this way cleans up the users, which all really just wanted the pid or error number _anyway_. This fixes the x86 users, other architectures need to be fixed up as well.

A familar type of Oops: d_path() can return an error ENAMETOOLONG, and if we fail to test a segfault occurs. So we must test. What we do is a different matter. Rather arbitrarily I return the string " (too long)" for use in /proc/mounts.

Several SCSI drivers confuse CHECK_CONDITION and CHECK_CONDITION << 1. One of them is NCR5380.c. Below a patch adding status_byte() twice. (On the other hand, sun3_NCR5380.c does this right, and generally looks better. Maybe they can be merged eventually.)

After # mount --rbind /tmp /mnt (on 2.5.68) I have a corrupted namespace. Umounting /mnt fails, and /proc/mounts contains ... /dev/root /mnt ext3 rw 0 0 proc /mnt/proc proc rw 0 0 usbfs /mnt/proc/bus/usb usbfs rw 0 0 /dev/hdb5 /mnt/usr reiserfs rw 0 0 ... where of course no directories /mnt/proc or /mnt/usr exist. This is caused by the fact that copy_tree() thinks that the dentry it is called with is the root of the filesystem. If it is not, confusion arose. This patch fixes this confusion.

- Fix possible memory leak in iso.c - Added handling for more than 1 Logical_Unit_Number entry in a unit directory for SBP-2. This allows for handling the second type of LUN that we didn't support yet.

This fixes a race noticed by Mike Galbraith: the scheduler can lose a rebalance tick if some task happens to not be rescheduled in time. This is not a fatal condition, but an inconsistency nevertheless.

This fixes the scheduler's sync-wakeup code to be consistent on UP as well. Right now there's a behavioral difference between an UP kernel and an SMP kernel running on a UP box: sync wakeups (which are only activated on SMP) can cause a wakeup of a higher prio task, without preemption. On UP kernels this does not happen. This difference in wakeup behavior is bad. This patch activates sync wakeups on UP as well - in the cases sync wakeups are done the waker knows that it will schedule away soon, so this 'delay preemption' decision is correct on UP as well.

This fixes an SMP window where the kernel could miss to handle a signal, and increase signal delivery latency up to 200 msecs. Sun has reported to Ulrich that their JVM sees occasional unexpected signal delays under Linux. The more CPUs, the more delays. The cause of the problem is that the current signal wakeup implementation is racy in kernel/signal.c:signal_wake_up(): if (t->state == TASK_RUNNING) kick_if_running(t); ... if (t->state & mask) { wake_up_process(t); return; } If thread (or process) 't' is woken up on another CPU right after the TASK_RUNNING check, and thread starts to run, then the wake_up_process() here will do nothing, and the signal stays pending up until the thread will call into the kernel next time - which can be up to 200 msecs later. The solution is to do the 'kicking' of a running thread on a remote CPU atomically with the wakeup. For this i've added wake_up_process_kick(). There is no slowdown for the other wakeup codepaths, the new flag to try_to_wake_up() is compiled off for them. Some other subsystems might want to use this wakeup facility as well in the future (eg. AIO). In fact this race triggers quite often under Volanomark rusg, with this change added, Volanomark performance is up from 500-800 to 2000-3000, on a 4-way x86 box.

Trivial, but important. Somehow in the patching the bk tree somehow got two memset's to clear new_client in it87_detect, normally while this would be bad, it would not be critical. However one of the two happens BEFORE the variable is set, and thus things go badly.

From: William Lee Irwin III <wli@holomorphy.com> To handle sparse physical APIC ID's properly the phys_cpu_present_map must be scanned beyond bit NR_CPUS while ensuring no more than NR_CPUS are woken in order not to attempt to wake non-addressible cpus. The following patch adds that logic to smp_boot_cpus() and corrects the failure to wake secondaries reported by dhowells, with successful wakeup, runtime, reboot, and halting reported after it was applied.

From: mikpe@csd.uu.se When I grepped for these variables I failed to notice the references in acpi/wakeup.S. This patch fixes this.
