jfs_sync_fs was implemented using the same code as the unmount code to flush
the journal and wait for the journal to quiesce.  Since jfs_sync_fs may  be
called while the volume is under heavy use, we can end up waiting
indefinately.  Code in jfs_flush_journal meant to detect a hang at unmount
time may be triggered in this case causing a trap.  This patch changes
jfs_sync_fs to only wait until the most recent transaction has been
commited to disk, rather than waiting until the commit queue is empty.

state changes due to execve() and exit(). We need to hold the tasklist
lock to guarantee stability of "task->sighand".

Update the ARM signal handling to use the generic
get_signal_to_deliver() implementation.  There is a caveat though -
ARM has no hardware support for single stepping, and thus needs the
kernel to help provide this.

We introduce a new ptrace flag for this, PT_SINGLESTEP, which
indicates to architecture specific code that it should take extra
actions in the signal handler to set and/or clear breakpoints as
appropriate.

Delay the marvel agp hose printk until after the check for whether a
valid AGP hose was found. Otherwise if none was found, hose->index in
the printk arg list dereferences NULL.

close succession. However, for this once we'll just call it "inspired".

But let's decide pair the lock with an unlock anyway, even if it is
boring and "square".

Urban Widmark points out that modprobe calls system() in many
configurations, which drops privs since request_module() doesn't
set ruid and rguid.

This gets rid of exec_usermodehelper and makes everyone use
call_usermodehelper, which has a new "wait" flag.

Fix compile errors after futex merge.

Patch from Guennadi Liakhovetski

An update of the partition-table and a typo-fix. Please, apply.

General updates to these two watchdog drivers, including:
- converting initialisers to C99 syntax
- correcting module descriptions
- ensuring private symbols are declared static
- ensuring correct options are reported in the watchdog_info structure
- ensuring we use the right clock value for calculating timeouts
- ensuring failure cleanup paths are properly implemented
- don't use MOD_{INC,DEC}_USE_COUNT

A compliment is an expression of esteem, respect, affection, or
admiration.  As far as I can tell, this word does not yet have a
place in the kernel source.

A complement on the other hand, is what is meant in the following
places.

This fixes the spelling of "necessary" in 11 files, plus these other
fixes which were nearby:

 divisable -> divisible
 feild -> field
 effectivly -> effectively
 belive -> believe

This reduces the number of "nuber" by four and fixes the spelling
of necessary in one of those files.

Starting with 2.5.61, 8139too takes forever (30+ seconds) to take an
interface down.  This gets the driver back to regular fraction of a
second time.

The thread exit code assumes it can use SIGTERM to kill the driver
thread, not SIGKILL.

Remove the generated *.mod.c files in make clean.

Ok, this is the fixed and tested variant that also fixes the bug that
the previous trivial fix exposed.

Remove unneeded function declarations and correct /proc-directory name
for > 1 pcmcia_socket_class devices.

here's the compile fix for this breakage which appears if CONFIG_ACPI &&
!(CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_TABLE || CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_TABLE_MODULE).

This morning's fix for elv_former_request() is causing oopses all over the
place in the IO scheduler.

Jens, remember that I did try that fix a while ago, and the same happened.

I believe it has exposed a new problem at the __make_request/attempt_front_merge
level: if attempt_front_merge() actually succeeds, the wrong request gets freed
up in elv_merged_request().

It may be best to back this change out until it can be fixed up for real.

modpost did not warn on symbols which are exported but not defined
in the current module, but it should.

Also, fix a compile time warning, and have bk ignore *.mod.c files.
