If a metadata page is kept active, it is possible that the sync barrier logic
continues to trigger, even if all active transactions have been phyically
written to the journal. This can cause a hang, since the completion of the
journal I/O is what unsets the sync barrier flag to allow new transactions
to be created.

Patch from Alexander Schulz
This patch brings a new default config file for the shark and
fixes a compilation issue with io addressing and a runtime
problem with the serial ports, where I corrected a wrong
regshift value.
These are all shark specific files so I hope it is ok to
put them in one patch.

The previous change to read a single byte from oob breaks the

A malicious 32bit app can have an elf section at 0xffffe000. During
exec of this app, we will have a memory leak as insert_vm_struct() is
not checking for return value in syscall32_setup_pages() and thus not
freeing the vma allocated for the vsyscall page.
Check the return value and free the vma incase of failure.

This patch includes feedback from Andrew and Christoph. Thanks for
taking time to review.
Use of empty_zero_page was eliminated to fix compilation for architectures
that don't have it.
This patch removes setting pages up-to-date in ext2_get_xip_page and all
bug checks to verify that the page is indeed up to date. Setting the page
state on mapping to userland is bogus. None of the code patchs involved
with these pages in mm cares about the page state.

This is half of a patch that Qu Fuping submitted in April. The first part
was applied to fs/mpage.c in 2.6.12-rc4.
jfs_fsync should return error, but it doesn't wait for the metadata page to
be uptodate, e.g.:
jfs_fsync->jfs_commit_inode->txCommit->diWrite->read_metapage->
__get_metapage->read_cache_page reads a page from disk. Because read is
async, when read_cache_page: err = filler(data, page), filler will not
return error, it just submits I/O request and returns. So, page is not
uptodate. Checking only if(IS_ERROR(mp->page)) is not enough, we should
add "|| !PageUptodate(mp->page)"

This patch makes the command:
make ARCH=um SUBARCH=i386
work on x86_64 hosts (with support for building 32-bit binaries). This is
especially needed since 64-bit UMLs don't support 32-bit emulation for guest
binaries, currently. This has been tested in all possible cases and works.
Only exception is that I've built but not tested a 64-bit binary, because I
hadn't a 64-bit filesystem available.

1) Cleanup an ugly hyper-nested code in Makefile (now only the arith.
expression is passed through the host bash).
2) Fix a problem with GCC 2.95: according to a report from Raphael Bossek,
.remap_data : { arch/um/sys-SUBARCH/unmap_fin.o (.data .bss) } is expanded
into: .remap_data : { arch/um/sys-i386 /unmap_fin.o (.data .bss) }
(because I didn't use ## to join the two tokens), thus stopping linking. Pass
the whole path from the Makefile as a simple and nice fix.

A big bug has been diagnosed on hosts running the SKAS patch and built with
CONFIG_REGPARM, due to some missing prevent_tail_call().
On these hosts, this workaround is needed to avoid triggering that bug,
because "to" is kept by GCC only in EBX, which is corrupted at the return of
mmap2().
Since to trigger this bug int 0x80 must be used when doing the call, it rarely
manifests itself, so I'd prefer to get this merged to workaround that host
bug, since it should cause no functional change. Still, you might prefer to
drop it, I'll leave this to you.

This construct is refused by GCC 4, so here's the (corrected) fix. Thanks to
Russell for noticing a stupid mistake I did when first sending this.
As he noted, the code is largely suboptimal however it currently works, and
will be fixed shortly. Just read the access_ok check on fp which is NULL, or
the pointer arithmetic below which should be done with a cast to void*:
frame = (struct rt_sigframe __user *)
round_down(stack_top - sizeof(struct rt_sigframe), 16) - 8;
The code shows clearly that has been taken from
arch/x86_64/kernel/signal.c:setup_rt_frame(), maybe in a bit of a hurry.
