I saw a recent bug report that showed when a process set up a dnotify against
the autofs root and then attempted an access(2) call inside the autofs
namespace on a mount that would fail, it would create a signal/restart loop.

The cause is that the autofs code checks to see if any signals are pending
after it waits on a response from the autofs daemon.  If it finds any, it
assumes that autofs_wait was interrupted, and that it should return
-ERESTARTNOINTR.  The problem with this is that a signal_pending(current)
check will return true if *any* signals were received, not just if a signal
that interrupted the wait was received.  autofs_wait explicitly blocks all
signals except for SIGKILL, SIGQUIT, and SIGINT before calling
interruptible_sleep_on.

The effect is that if a dnotify is set against the autofs root, when the
autofs daemon creates the directory, a dnotify event will be sent to the
originating process.  Since the code in autofs_root_lookup doesn't check to
see what signals are actually pending, it bails early, telling the caller to
try again.  The loop goes on forever until interrupted via one of the actual
interrupting signals.

The following patch makes both autofs_root_lookup and autofs4_root_lookup
verify that one of its defined "shutdown" signals are pending before bailing
out early.  Any other signal should be delivered later, as expected.  It
doesn't matter if the signal occured outside of the sleep in autofs_wait.  The
calling process will either go away or try again.

Add a whole bunch more might_sleep() checks.  We also enable might_sleep()
checking in copy_*_user().  This was non-trivial because of the "copy_*_user()
in atomic regions" trick would generate false positives.  Fix that up by
adding a new __copy_*_user_inatomic(), which avoids the might_sleep() check.

Only i386 is supported in this patch.

release_task can sleep.  Sleeping allows a CPU to go down underneath you.
release_task removes you from the tasklist, so you don't get migrated off the
CPU: BUG() in sched.c.

In last week's episode, our dashing hero (Ingo Molnar) solved this for
self-reaping tasks by grabbing the hotplug cpu lock to prevent this. 
However, in an unexpected twist, the problem remains for tasks whose
parents call release_task on them: the zombies are off the task list, and
lurk on the dead CPU.

Fortunately, the comedic sidekick (Rusty Russell) has an answer: let's make
the hotplug callback walk the runqueue of the dead CPU as well, taking care
of the zombies.

1) Restore exit.c to its former form.  The comment is incorrect: sched.c
   checks PF_DEAD, not the state, to decide to do the final
   put_task_struct(), and it does it for all tasks, self-reaping or no.

2) Implement migrate_dead_tasks() in the sched.c hotplug CPU callback.

3) Rename migrate_all_tasks() to migrate_live_tasks().

md currently uses csum_partial to calculate checksums for superblocks.
However this function is not consistent across all architectures.  Some
(i386) to a 32bit csum.  Some (alpha) do a 16 bit csum.  This makes it hard
for userspace to keep up.

So we provide a generic routine (that does exactly what the i386
csum_partial does) and:

- When setting the csum, use csum_partial so that old kernels will still
  recognise the superblock

- When checking the csum, allow either csum_partial or the new generic
  code to provide the right csum.  This allows user-space to just use the
  common code and always work.

Also modify the csum for version-1 superblock (which currently aren't being
used) to always user a predictable checksum algorithm.
