      Un-inline the core-dump helper functions · 3aa0ce82
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      Tony Luck reports that the addition of the access_ok() check in commit
0eead9ab ("Don't dump task struct in a.out core-dumps") broke the
ia64 compile due to missing the necessary header file includes.

Rather than add yet another include (<asm/unistd.h>) to make everything
happy, just uninline the silly core dump helper functions and move the
bodies to fs/exec.c where they make a lot more sense.

dump_seek() in particular was too big to be an inline function anyway,
and none of them are in any way performance-critical.  And we really
don't need to mess up our include file headers more than they already
are.

      Don't dump task struct in a.out core-dumps · 0eead9ab
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      akiphie points out that a.out core-dumps have that odd task struct
dumping that was never used and was never really a good idea (it goes
back into the mists of history, probably the original core-dumping
code).  Just remove it.

Also do the access_ok() check on dump_write().  It probably doesn't
matter (since normal filesystems all seem to do it anyway), but he
points out that it's normally done by the VFS layer, so ...

[ I suspect that we should possibly do "vfs_write()" instead of
  calling ->write directly.  That also does the whole fsnotify and write
  statistics thing, which may or may not be a good idea. ]

And just to be anal, do this all for the x86-64 32-bit a.out emulation
code too, even though it's not enabled (and won't currently even
compile)

      hrtimer: Preserve timer state in remove_hrtimer() · f13d4f97
      Salman Qazi authored 
      The race is described as follows:

CPU X                                 CPU Y
remove_hrtimer
// state & QUEUED == 0
timer->state = CALLBACK
unlock timer base
timer->f(n) //very long
                                  hrtimer_start
                                    lock timer base
                                    remove_hrtimer // no effect
                                    hrtimer_enqueue
                                    timer->state = CALLBACK |
                                                   QUEUED
                                    unlock timer base
                                  hrtimer_start
                                    lock timer base
                                    remove_hrtimer
                                        mode = INACTIVE
                                        // CALLBACK bit lost!
                                    switch_hrtimer_base
                                            CALLBACK bit not set:
                                                    timer->base
                                                    changes to a
                                                    different CPU.
lock this CPU's timer base

The bug was introduced with commit ca109491 (hrtimer: removing all ur
callback modes) in 2.6.29
