tty redirect handling sanitized. Such ttys (/dev/tty and /dev/console) get a different file_operations; its ->write() handles redirects; checks for file->f_op == &tty_fops updated, checks for major:minor being that of a redirector replaced with check for ->f_op->write value. Piece of code in tty_io.c that had been #if 0 since 0.99<something> had been finally put out of its misery. kdev_val() is gone.

cdevname() killed, there was only one remaining user (tty_paranoia_check()) and in that case cdevname() was worse than plain major:minor (basically, it's "you've got corrupted inode that was supposed to belong to tty device; here's what I'd found in ->i_rdev")

cciss cleanup - instead of playing with device numbers, we add helper functions that get host and drive structures by gendisk and use them in open/ioctl/release, same as had been done for cpqarray.

paride/pt.c cleanups - passing pointer to pt_unit instead of index in array; same as had been done for pd/pcd/pf.

Some ARM CPUs don't allow CP15 CR1 control register to be read. Therefore, to ensure that the value hits the control register on Xscale, read back the CP15 CR0 ID register instead.

On ARM, we oops when we detect that an interrupt handler has unbalanced the preempt count. We should restore the preempt count when we started to handle the interrupt and then cause the oops.

This fixes a "miscompile" HP reported against gcc 3.3 with -march-pentium4. It turned out to be a non-complete asm contraint. the existing constraint on "opt" was on the address of "opt", which allowed gcc to reorder the setting of the fields inside opt to beyond the asm that uses it, which is less than useful at best.

This changes the way futexes are indexed, so that they don't pin pages. It also fixes some bugs with private mappings and COW pages. Currently, all futexes look up the page at the userspace address and pin it, using the pair (page,offset) as an index into a table of waiting futexes. Any page with a futex waiting on it remains pinned in RAM, which is a problem when many futexes are used, especially with FUTEX_FD. Another problem is that the page is not always the correct one, if it can be changed later by a COW (copy on write) operation. This can happen when waiting on a futex without writing to it after fork(), exec() or mmap(), if the page is then written to before attempting to wake a futex at the same adress. There are two symptoms of the COW problem: - The wrong process can receive wakeups - A process can fail to receive required wakeups. This patch fixes both by changing the indexing so that VM_SHARED mappings use the triple (inode,offset,index), and private mappings use the pair (mm,virtual_address). The former correctly handles all shared mappings, including tmpfs and therefore all kinds of shared memory (IPC shm, /dev/shm and MAP_ANON|MAP_SHARED). This works because every mapping which is VM_SHARED has an associated non-zero vma->vm_file, and hence inode. (This is ensured in do_mmap_pgoff, where it calls shmem_zero_setup). The latter handles all private mappings, both files and anonymous. It isn't affected by COW, because it doesn't care about the actual pages, just the virtual address. The patch has a few bonuses: 1. It removes the vcache implementation, as only futexes were using it, and they don't any more. 2. Removing the vcache should make COW page faults a bit faster. 3. Futex operations no longer take the page table lock, walk the page table, fault in pages that aren't mapped in the page table, or do a vcache hash lookup - they are mostly a simple offset calculation with one hash for the futex table. So they should be noticably faster. Special thanks to Hugh Dickins, Andrew Morton and Rusty Russell for insightful feedback. All suggestions are included.

MODULE_ALIAS_LDISC() is not in any way architecture-specific, so don't put it in architecture header files. Here's a patch which moves it to a more sensible location.

The "insert_here" list pointer logic was broken, and unnecessary. Kill it and its associated logic off completely - just tell the IO scheduler what kind of insert it is. This also makes the *_insert_request strategies much easier to follow, imo.

Since sdla.c now has locking instead of cli/sti, it shouldn't be completely busted on SMP. Also, the frad interface registration needed to be done once (and check the result), and undone on module unload.

try_then_request_module() does what crypto/autoload.c is doing, so replace it. Fix try_then_request_module(), too (thanks James).

Apparently the new gcc 3.2.2 allows local variable declarations within the code of a function if it is not used earlier. But older gcc's do not allow this.
