This makes OProgile use get_task_mm() as discussed.  It also fixes up
Anton's previous patch.  Zwane's soaked this patch all night w/o
problems.

I'm a retard.

Nicolas Boichat reports that his monitor needs the slower
i2c bus timings. These values also match atyfb and the
original ones.

It would clear the segment registers in the parent, which
wasn't really intentional. Noticed by Andries Brouwer.

The final ia64 related cleanup to elf_read_implies_exec() seems to have
broken it.  The effect is that the READ_IMPLIES_EXEC flag is never set
for !pt_gnu_stack binaries!

That's a bit more secure than we need to be, and might break some legacy
app that doesn't expect it.

Correct one Kconfig dependency, which should refer to CONFIG_USERMODE
rather than to CONFIG_UM.

We should also figure out how to make the config process work better for
UML.  We would like to make UML able to "source drivers/Kconfig" and have
the right drivers selectable (i.e.  LVM, ramdisk, and so on) and the ones
for actual hardware excluded.  I've been reading such a request even from
Jeff Dike at the last Kernel Summit, (in the lwn.net coverage) but without
any followup.

This fixes a use-after-free bug in the context switching.  A process going
out of context after exiting wakes up the next process and then kills
itself.  The problem is that when it gets around to killing itself is up to
the host and can happen a long time later, including after the incoming
process has freed its stack, and that memory is possibly being used for
something else.

The fix is to have the incoming process kill the exiting process just to
make sure it can't be running at the point that its stack is freed.

Following the same advice you gave in a recent hvc_console patch I have
modified HVCS to remove a while() { yield(); } from hvcs_close() which may
cause problems where real time scheduling is concerned and replaced it with
tty_wait_until_sent() which uses a real wait queue and is the proper method
for blocking a tty operation while waiting for data to be sent.  This patch
has been tested to verify that all the paths of code that were changed were
hit during the code run and performed as expected including hotplug remove
of hvcs adapters and hangup of ttys.

- Replaced yield() in hvcs_close() with tty_wait_until_sent() to prevent
  possible lockup with realtime scheduling.

- Removed hvcs_final_close() and reordered cleanup operations to prevent
  discarding of pending data during an hvcs_close() call.

- Removed spinlock protection of hvcs_struct data members in
  hvcs_write_room() and hvcs_chars_in_buffer() because they aren't needed.

Introduces two new /sys/block values:

  /sys/block/*/queue/max_hw_sectors_kb
  /sys/block/*/queue/max_sectors_kb

max_hw_sectors_kb is the maximum that the driver can handle and is
readonly.  max_sectors_kb is the current max_sectors value and can be tuned
by root.  PAGE_SIZE granularity is enforced.

It's all locking-safe and all affected layered drivers have been updated as
well.  The patch has been in testing for a couple of weeks already as part
of the voluntary-preempt patches and it works just fine - people use it to
reduce IDE IRQ handling latencies.

This patch adds a prctl to modify current->comm as shown in /proc.  This
feature was requested by KDE developers.  In KDE most programs are started by
forking from a kdeinit program that already has the libraries loaded and some
other state.

Problem is to give these forked programs the proper name.  It already writes
the command line in the environment (as seen in ps), but top uses a different
field in /proc/pid/status that reports current->comm.  And that was always
"kdeinit" instead of the real command name.  So you ended up with lots of
kdeinits in your top listing, which was not very useful.

This patch adds a new prctl PR_SET_NAME to allow a program to change its comm
field.

I considered the potential security issues of a program obscuring itself with
this interface, but I don't think it matters much because a program can
already obscure itself when the admin uses ps instead of top.  In case of a
KDE desktop calling everything kdeinit is much more obfuscation than the
alternative.
