Problem:

In the function __migrate_task(), deactivate_task() followed by
activate_task() is used to move the task from one run queue to
another.  This has two undesirable effects:

1. The task's priority is recalculated. (Nowhere else in the
scheduler code is the priority recalculated for a change of CPU.)

2. The task's time stamp is set to the current time.  At the very least,
this makes the adjustment of the time stamp before the call to
deactivate_task() redundant but I believe the problem is more serious
as the time stamp now holds the time of the queue change instead of
the time at which the task was woken.  In addition, unless dest_rq is
the same queue as "current" is on the time stamp could be inaccurate
due to inter CPU drift.

Solution:

Replace the call to activate_task() with one to __activate_task().

It's useful to be able to turn off CONFIG_HOTPLUG for compile-coverage testing
and for section-checking coverage.  But a few things go and select
CONFIG_HOTPLUG, making it a royal PITA to turn the thing off.

It's only turnable offable if CONFIG_EMBEDDED anyway.  So let's make those
things depend on HOTPLUG, not select it.

Use thread info flags to track use of debug registers and IO bitmaps.

 - add TIF_DEBUG to track when debug registers are active
 - add TIF_IO_BITMAP to track when I/O bitmap is used
 - modify __switch_to() to use the new TIF flags

Performance tested on Pentium II, ten runs of LMbench context switch
benchmark (smaller is better:)

Use "+m" rather than a combination of "=m" and "m" for improved clarity
and consistency.

This also fixes some inlines that incorrectly didn't tell the compiler
that they read the old value at all, potentially causing the compiler to
generate bogus code.  It appear that all of those potential bugs were
hidden by the use of extra "volatile" specifiers on the data structures
in question, though.

Certain subsystems in the stack (e.g., netfilter) can break the partial
checksum on GSO packets.  Until they're fixed, this patch allows this to
work by recomputing the partial checksums through the GSO mechanism.

Once they've all been converted to update the partial checksum instead of
clearing it, this workaround can be removed.

ok this is a real potential deadlock in a way, it takes two locks of 2
skbuffs without doing any kind of lock ordering; I think the following
patch should fix it. Just sort the lock taking order by address of the
skb.. it's not pretty but it's the best this can do in a minimally

The TCA_ACT_KIND attribute is used without checking its
availability when dumping actions therefore leading to a
value of 0x4 being dereferenced.

The use of strcmp() in tc_lookup_action_n() isn't safe

proper NUL termination.

The sparc64 kernel's EXPORT_SYMBOL(_mcount) is inside an

built with stack overflow checking (CONFIG_STACK_DEBUG=y),
as modules_install reports:
