to properly de-activate it and make the child_tid logic work correctly. Clear %fs/%gs in deactivate_mm() on x86, since our LDT will no longer be valid after this. Update mm_release() to deactivate MM state before releasing, and avoid the expensive child_tid FUTEX if we're the last user of the MM.

This patch, which depends on the previous %ebx -> %ebp patch, removes all pop instruction in the sysenter return path. This leaks the thread_info address to user mode but this shouldn't be a security problem. This is what happens to the various registers: %eax: return value from system call: already in place %ebx, %esi, %edi: saved by the C compiler %ecx, %edx, %ebp: restored by user mode, fixed values by kernels %esp, eip: copied to %ecx/%edx and restored by sysexit %ds, %es: initialized to __USER_DS on kernel entry %cs, %ss: restored by sysexit based on msr %fs, %gs: not modified by the kernel (saved around context switch) eflags: not preserved, iopl saved around context switch FP, XMM: any code that modifies them must save/restore them Note that while it is possible to change %ebx, %esi, %edi, %ecx, %edx or %ebp via struct pt_regs, anything that does should set TIF_IRET or another work flag (and it hopefully already does).

This patch changes assembly code that accesses thread_info to use %ebp rather than %ebx. This allows me to take advantage of the fact that %ebp is restored by user mode in the sysenter register pop removal patch. vm86() direct return code updated to match [ Linus ]

This also cleans up the machine check code generally.

Supply the old termios, along with the max and min acceptable baud rate to uart_get_baud_rate(). uart_get_baud_rate() will now try to find a baud rate that satisfies the max and min constraint out of (requested rate, old rate, 9600 baud). We remove the code which performed a similar act in uart_get_divisor() and pass an appropriate min and max baud rate to uart_get_baud_rate() based on the UART clock rate.

Since we killed off the broken 486 strings copies, the config item isn't needed any longer.

Next in line for the -W cleanups is this patch from Willy which I've been carrying since 2.5.29 or so. Should be no functional differences, just no more warnings when we compile with -W

This looks extremely suspect to me, and seems like it will prefetch past the end of the pmd, which is a no no.

Can't remember where this came from, but its been around for quite a while. Prints the parent (tracer) pid if its being traced.
