a19325a774 m68knommu: ColdFire add support for kernel preemption
As the subject says this patch adds the support for kernel preemption
on m68knommu Coldfire. I thing the same changes could be applied to
68360 & 68328 but since I don't have the HW for testing, I don't touch it.

2d7f16d6d1 m68knommu: fix signal handling return path
The return from software signal handling pushes code on the stack
that system calls to the kernels cleanup code. This is borrowed
directly from the m68k linux signal handler.

The rt signal case is not quite right for the restricted instruction
set of the ColdFire parts. And neither the normal signal case or rt
signal case properly flushes/pushes the appropriate cache lines.

Rework the return path to just call back through some code fragments
in the kernel proper (with no MMU in the way we can do this). No
cache problems, and less code overall.

Original patch submitted by Wilson Callan <wcallan@savantav.com>

Greg fixed the rt signal return path to use the proper system call

9d2de6ad2a autofs4: fix incorrect return from root.c:try_to_fill_dentry()
Jeff Moyer has identified a case where the autofs4 function
root.c:try_to_fill_dentry() can return -EBUSY when it should return 0.

Jeff's description of the way this happens is:

"automount starts an expire for directory d.  after the callout to the daemon,
but before the rmdir, another process tries to walk into the same directory.
It puts itself onto the waitq, pending the expiration.

When the expire finishes, the second process is woken up.  In
try_to_fill_dentry, it does this check:

                status = d_invalidate(dentry);
                if (status != -EBUSY)
                        return -EAGAIN;

And status is EBUSY.  The dentry still has a non-zero d_inode, and the
flags do not contain LOOKUP_CONTINUE or LOOKUP_DIRECTORY

So, we fall through and return -EBUSY to the caller."

033790449b autofs4: fix execution order race in mount request code
Jeff Moyer has identified a race in due to an execution order dependency
in the autofs4 function root.c:try_to_fill_dentry().

Jeff's description of this race is:

"P1 does a lookup of /mount/submount/foo.  Since the VFS can't find an entry
for "foo" under /mount/submount, it calls into the autofs4 kernel module to
allocate a new dentry, D1.  The kernel creates a new waitq for this lookup and
calls the daemon to perform the mount.

The daemon performs a mkdir of the "foo" directory under /mount/submount,
which ends up creating a *new* dentry, D2.

Then, P2 does a lookup of /mount/submount/foo.  The VFS path walking logic
finds a dentry in the dcache, D2, and calls the revalidate function with this.
 In the autofs4 revalidate code, we then trigger a mount, since the dentry is
an empty directory that isn't a mountpoint, and so set DCACHE_AUTOFS_PENDING
and call into the wait code to trigger the mount.

The wait code finds our existing waitq entry (since it is keyed off of the
directory name) and adds itself to the list of waiters.

After the daemon finishes the mount, it calls back into the kernel to release
the waiters.  When this happens, P1 is woken up and goes about clearing the
DCACHE_AUTOFS_PENDING flag, but it does this in D1!  So, given that P1 in our
case is a program that will immediately try to access a file under
/mount/submount/foo, we end up finding the dentry D2 which still has the
pending flag set, and we set out to wait for a mount *again*!

So, one way to address this is to re-do the lookup at the end of
try_to_fill_dentry, and to clear the pending flag on the hashed dentry.  This
seems a sane approach to me."

And Jeff's patch does this.

Since this one's always in the range 0-255, it could probably be made
signed, but it's just as easy to make it work unsigned.

be089d79c4 kexec: make extended crashkernel= syntax less confusing
The extended crashkernel syntax is a little confusing in the way it handles
ranges.  eg:

 crashkernel=512M-2G:64M,2G-:128M

Means if the machine has between 512M and 2G of memory the crash region should
be 64M, and if the machine has 2G of memory the region should be 64M.  Only if
the machine has more than 2G memory will 128M be allocated.

Although that semantic is correct, it is somewhat baffling.  Instead I propose
that the end of the range means the first address past the end of the range,
ie: 512M up to but not including 2G.

02c6be615f vfs: fix permission checking in sys_utimensat
If utimensat() is called with both times set to UTIME_NOW or one of them to
UTIME_NOW and the other to UTIME_OMIT, then it will update the file time
without any permission checking.

I don't think this can be used for anything other than a local DoS, but could
be quite bewildering at that (e.g.  "Why was that large source tree rebuilt
when I didn't modify anything???")

This affects all kernels from 2.6.22, when the utimensat() syscall was
introduced.

Fix by doing the same permission checking as for the "times == NULL" case.

Thanks to Michael Kerrisk, whose utimensat-non-conformances-and-fixes.patch in
-mm also fixes this (and breaks other stuff), only he didn't realize the
security implications of this bug.

34990cf702 Add a new sysfs_streq() string comparison function
Add a new sysfs_streq() string comparison function, which ignores
the trailing newlines found in sysfs inputs.  By example:

	sysfs_streq("a", "b")	==> false
	sysfs_streq("a", "a")	==> true
	sysfs_streq("a", "a\n")	==> true
	sysfs_streq("a\n", "a")	==> true

This is intended to simplify parsing of sysfs inputs, letting them
avoid the need to manually strip off newlines from inputs.

7dffa3c673 ntp: handle leap second via timer
Remove the leap second handling from second_overflow(), which doesn't have to
check for it every second anymore.  With CONFIG_NO_HZ this also makes sure the
leap second is handled close to the full second.  Additionally this makes it
possible to abort a leap second properly by resetting the STA_INS/STA_DEL
status bits.

9f14f669d1 ntp: increase time_offset resolution
time_offset is already a 64bit value but its resolution barely used, so this
makes better use of it by replacing SHIFT_UPDATE with TICK_LENGTH_SHIFT.

Side note: the SHIFT_HZ in SHIFT_UPDATE was incorrect for CONFIG_NO_HZ and the
primary reason for changing time_offset to 64bit to avoid the overflow.

074b3b8794 ntp: increase time_freq resolution
This changes time_freq to a 64bit value and makes it static (the only outside
user had no real need to modify it).  Intermediate values were already 64bit,
so the change isn't that big, but it saves a little in shifts by replacing
SHIFT_NSEC with TICK_LENGTH_SHIFT.  PPM_SCALE is then used to convert between
user space and kernel space representation.

eea83d896e ntp: NTP4 user space bits update
This adds a few more things from the ntp nanokernel related to user space.
It's now possible to select the resolution used of some values via STA_NANO
and the kernel reports in which mode it works (pll/fll).

If some values for adjtimex() are outside the acceptable range, they are now
simply normalized instead of letting the syscall fail.  I removed
MOD_CLKA/MOD_CLKB as the mapping didn't really makes any sense, the kernel
doesn't support setting the clock.
