c5d79adba7 md: allow devices to be shared between md arrays
Currently, a given device is "claimed" by a particular array so that it cannot
be used by other arrays.

This is not ideal for DDF and other metadata schemes which have their own
partitioning concept.

So for externally managed metadata, just claim the device for md in general,
require that "offset" and "size" are set properly for each device, and make
sure that if a device is included in different arrays then the active sections
do not overlap.

This involves adding another flag to the rdev which makes it awkward to set
"->flags = 0" to clear certain flags.  So now clear flags explicitly by name
when we want to clear things.

c620727779 md: allow a maximum extent to be set for resyncing
This allows userspace to control resync/reshape progress and synchronise it
with other activities, such as shared access in a SAN, or backing up critical
sections during a tricky reshape.

Writing a number of sectors (which must be a multiple of the chunk size if
such is meaningful) causes a resync to pause when it gets to that point.

e691063a61 md: support 'external' metadata for md arrays
- Add a state flag 'external' to indicate that the metadata is managed
  externally (by user-space) so important changes need to be
  left of user-space to handle.
  Alternates are non-persistant ('none') where there is no stable metadata -
  after the  array is stopped there is no record of it's status - and
  internal which can be version 0.90 or version 1.x
  These are selected by writing to the 'metadata' attribute.

- move the updating of superblocks (sync_sbs) to after we have checked if
  there are any superblocks or not.

- New array state 'write_pending'.  This means that the metadata records
  the array as 'clean', but a write has been requested, so the metadata has
  to be updated to record a 'dirty' array before the write can continue.
  This change is reported to md by writing 'active' to the array_state
  attribute.

- tidy up marking of sb_dirty:
   - don't set sb_dirty when resync finishes as md_check_recovery
     calls md_update_sb when the sync thread finishes anyway.
   - Don't set sb_dirty in multipath_run as the array might not be dirty.
   - don't mark superblock dirty when switching to 'clean' if there
     is no internal superblock (if external, userspace can choose to
     update the superblock whenever it chooses to).

b47490c9bc md: Update md bitmap during resync.
Currently an md array with a write-intent bitmap does not updated that bitmap
to reflect successful partial resync.  Rather the entire bitmap is updated
when the resync completes.

This is because there is no guarentee that resync requests will complete in
order, and tracking each request individually is unnecessarily burdensome.

However there is value in regularly updating the bitmap, so add code to
periodically pause while all pending sync requests complete, then update the
bitmap.  Doing this only every few seconds (the same as the bitmap update
time) does not notciably affect resync performance.

a9a84c37d1 atmel_lcdfb: backlight control
On the sam9 EK boards, the LCD backlight is hooked up to a PWM output from
the LCD controller.  It's controlled by "contrast" registers though.

This patch lets boards declare that they have that kind of backlight
control.  The driver can then export this control, letting screenblank and
other operations actually take effect ...  reducing the typically
substantial power drain from the backlight.

Note that it's not fully cooked
  - doesn't force backlight off during system suspend
  - the "power" and "blank" events may not be done right
This should be easily added in the future.

dfcffa467b sm501fb: control panel pin usage with platform data flags
This patch makes it possible to control panel pins usage with flags passed
from the platform data.  Without this patch the sm501fb driver always controls
the VBIASEN and FPEN pins.  The polarity and use of these pins are very
platform specific, so this patch introduces the flags
SM501FB_FLAG_PANEL_USE_VBIASEN and SM501FB_FLAG_PANEL_USE_FPEN which enable
the use of these pins.

This patch is needed to support the a Sharp LQ104V1DG21 lcd panel on SuperH
platforms such as R2D-1 and R2D-PLUS boards.  Letting the sm501fb driver
control the FPEN and VBIASEN pins like today just results in lcd panel
flicker.

b359fbc458 spi: s3c drivers shouldn't care about spi_board_info
The two S3C SPI master drivers got merged without much review, so I just
noticed that they're doing something that the SPI core code is responsible
for, rather than any adapter driver: they try to register SPI devices.

This removes that support from those drivers so they act normally.
Interestingly, none of the current boards are affected.  So it's a net code
shrink with no loss of functionality.

6ffc787a44 system timer: fix crash in <100Hz system timer
The kernel has a divide by zero crash when trying to run the system timer
less than 100Hz.  The problem is x/(HZ/USER_HZ) and related.  Now
x*(USER_HZ/HZ) will be used if HZ<USER_HZ.

I'm running the Linux kernel under qemu and went to run a slower system
timer to take less CPU (and battery) on the host.  I found that the kernel
paniced under emulation because of a divide by zero in three places.  Here
is the patch.  The base git was updated today 01-05-2008.  I went for a
20Hz system time by adding config HZ_20 etc to kernel/Kconfig.hz.  With
this patch I verified the system timer by looking at /proc/interrupts.

1bf47346d7 kernel/sys.c: get rid of expensive divides in groups_sort()
groups_sort() can be quite long if user loads a large gid table.

This is because GROUP_AT(group_info, some_integer) uses an integer divide.
So having to do XXX thousand divides during one syscall can lead to very
high latencies.  (NGROUPS_MAX=65536)

In the past (25 Mar 2006), an analog problem was found in groups_search()
(commit d74beb9f33 ) and at that time I
changed some variables to unsigned int.

I believe that a more generic fix is to make sure NGROUPS_PER_BLOCK is
unsigned.

1a669c2f16 Add arch_ptrace_stop
This adds support to allow asm/ptrace.h to define two new macros,
arch_ptrace_stop_needed and arch_ptrace_stop.  These control special
machine-specific actions to be done before a ptrace stop.  The new code
compiles away to nothing when the new macros are not defined.  This is the
case on all machines to begin with.

On ia64, these macros will be defined to solve the long-standing issue of
ptrace vs register backing store.

d99c4f6b13 Remove rcu_assign_pointer() penalty for NULL pointers
The rcu_assign_pointer() primitive currently unconditionally executes a
memory barrier, even when a NULL pointer is being assigned.  This has lead
some to avoid using rcu_assign_pointer() for NULL pointers, which loses the
self-documenting advantages of rcu_assign_pointer() This patch uses
__builtin_const_p() to omit needless memory barriers for NULL-pointer
assignments at compile time with no runtime penalty, as discussed in the
following thread:

	http://www.mail-archive.com/netdev@vger.kernel.org/msg54852.html

Tested on x86_64 and ppc64, also compiled the four cases (NULL/non-NULL
and const/non-const) with gcc version 4.1.2, and hand-checked the
assembly output.

5ab24c79af Fix __const_udelay declaration and definition mismatches
The declaration and implementation of __const_udelay use different
names for the parameter on a number of architectures:

include/asm-avr32/delay.h:15:extern void __const_udelay(unsigned long usecs);
arch/avr32/lib/delay.c:39:inline void __const_udelay(unsigned long xloops)

include/asm-sh/delay.h:15:extern void __const_udelay(unsigned long usecs);
arch/sh/lib/delay.c:22:inline void __const_udelay(unsigned long xloops)

include/asm-m32r/delay.h:15:extern void __const_udelay(unsigned long usecs);
arch/m32r/lib/delay.c:58:void __const_udelay(unsigned long xloops)

include/asm-x86/delay.h:16:extern void __const_udelay(unsigned long usecs);
arch/x86/lib/delay_32.c:82:inline void __const_udelay(unsigned long xloops)
arch/x86/lib/delay_64.c:46:inline void __const_udelay(unsigned long xloops)

The units of the parameter isn't usecs, so that name is definitely
wrong.  It's also not exactly loops, so I suppose xloops is an OK
name.

This patch changes these names from usecs to xloops.

9cfe015aa4 get rid of NR_OPEN and introduce a sysctl_nr_open
NR_OPEN (historically set to 1024*1024) actually forbids processes to open
more than 1024*1024 handles.

Unfortunatly some production servers hit the not so 'ridiculously high
value' of 1024*1024 file descriptors per process.

Changing NR_OPEN is not considered safe because of vmalloc space potential
exhaust.

This patch introduces a new sysctl (/proc/sys/fs/nr_open) wich defaults to
1024*1024, so that admins can decide to change this limit if their workload
needs it.

ece95912db inotify: send IN_ATTRIB events when link count changes
Currently, no notification event has been sent when inode's link count
changed.  This is inconvenient for the application in some cases:

Suppose you have the following directory structure

    foo/test
    bar/

and you watch test.  If someone does "mv foo/test bar/", you get event
IN_MOVE_SELF and you know something has happened with the file "test".
However if someone does "ln foo/test bar/test" and "rm foo/test" you get no
inotify event for the file "test" (only directories "foo" and "bar" receive
events).

Furthermore it could be argued that link count belongs to file's metadata and
thus IN_ATTRIB should be sent when it changes.

The following patch implements sending of IN_ATTRIB inotify events when link
count of the inode changes, i.e., when a hardlink to the inode is created or
when it is removed.  This event is sent in addition to all the events sent so
far.  In particular, when a last link to a file is removed, IN_ATTRIB event is
sent in addition to IN_DELETE_SELF event.
