Add audit_log_type

Add audit_log_type to allow callers to specify type and pid when logging.
Convert audit_log to wrapper around audit_log_type.  Could have
converted all audit_log callers directly, but common case is default
of type AUDIT_KERNEL and pid 0.  Update audit_log_start to take type
and pid values when creating a new audit_buffer.  Move sequences that
did audit_log_start, audit_log_format, audit_set_type, audit_log_end,
to simply call audit_log_type directly.  This obsoletes audit_set_type
and audit_set_pid, so remove them.

[PATCH] uml: Fix process exit race

tt-mode closes switch_pipes in exit_thread_tt and kills processes in
switch_to_tt, if the exit_state is EXIT_DEAD or EXIT_ZOMBIE.

In very rare cases the exiting process can be scheduled out after having set
exit_state and closed switch_pipes (from release_task it calls proc_pid_flush,
which might sleep).  If this process is to be restarted, UML failes in
switch_to_tt with:

   write of switch_pipe failed, err = 9

We fix this by closing switch_pipes not in exit_thread_tt, but later in
release_thread_tt.  Additionally, we set switch_pipe[0] = 0 after closing.
switch_to_tt must not kill "from" process depending on its exit_state, but
must kill it after release_thread was processed only, so it examines
switch_pipe[0] for its decision.

The attached patch addresses the problem with getting the audit daemon
shutdown credential information. It creates a new message type
AUDIT_TERM_INFO, which is used by the audit daemon to query who issued the
shutdown.

It requires the placement of a hook function that gathers the information. The
hook is after the DAC & MAC checks and before the function returns. Racing
threads could overwrite the uid & pid - but they would have to be root and
have policy that allows signalling the audit daemon. That should be a
manageable risk.

The userspace component will be released later in audit 0.7.2. When it
receives the TERM signal, it queries the kernel for shutdown information.
When it receives it, it writes the message and exits. The message looks
like this:

type=DAEMON msg=auditd(1114551182.000) auditd normal halt, sending pid=2650

[PATCH] bttv: fix dst i2c read/write timeout failure.

Attached is a patch to bttv which fixes the following problems.

Affected cards and problems:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
o VP-1020 (200103A) Tuning problems, device detection.
o VP-1020 (DST-MOT) Errors during tuning, device detection fails in a while.
o VP-1030 (DST-CI) Tuning sometimes fails after CI commands.
o VP-2031 (DCT-CI) Tuning problems

The timeout happens before the actual timeout occured in the MCU
on the board, and hence the problems.

Changes: (bttv-i2c.diff)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
o Changed the custom wait queue to wait_event_interruptible_timeout()
      - Suggestion by Johannes Stezenbach.

o Fixed the wait queue timeout problem
      - This fixes the timeout problem on various cards.
      - This problem was visible as many
          * Cannot tune to channels, when signal levels are very low.
          * app_info does not work in some conditions for CI based cards
      - Smaller values worked good for newer cards, but the older cards
suffered, settled down to the worst case values that could happen in any
eventuality.

[PATCH] DAC960: add support for Mylex AcceleRAID 4/5/600

This patch adds support for a new class of DAC960 controllers.  It's based
on the GPLed idac320 driver from IBM for Linux 2.4.18.  That driver is a
fork of the 2.4.18 version of DAC960 that adds support for this new type of
controllers (internally called "GEM Series"), that differ from other DAC960
V2 firmware controllers only in the register offsets and removes support
for all others.

This patch instead integrates support for these controllers into the DAC960
driver.

Thanks to Anders Norrbring for pointing me to the idac320 driver and
testing this patch.

No Signed-Off: line because all code is either copy & pasted from IBM's
idac320 driver or support for other controllers in the 2.6 DAC960 driver.

Note: the really odd formating matches the rest of the DAC960 driver.

[PATCH] setitimer timer expires too early

It seems that the code responsible for this is in kernel/itimer.c:126:

p->signal->real_timer.expires = jiffies + interval;
add_timer(&p->signal->real_timer);

If you request an interval of, lets say 900 usecs, the interval given by
timeval_to_jiffies will be 1.

If you request this when we are half-way between two timer ticks, the
interval will only give 400 usecs.

If we want to guarantee that we never ever give intervals less than
requested, the simple solution would be to change that to:

p->signal->real_timer.expires = jiffies + interval + 1;

This however will produce pathological cases, like having a idle system
being requested 1 ms timeouts will give systematically 2 ms timeouts,
whereas currently it simply gives a few usecs less than 1 ms.

The complex (and more computationally expensive) solution would be to
check the gettimeofday time, and compute the correct number of jiffies.
This way, if we request a 300 usecs timer 200 usecs inside the timer
tick, we can wait just one tick, but not if we are 800 usecs inside the
tick. This would also mean that we would have to lock preemption during
these computations to avoid races, etc.

I've searched the archives but couldn't find this particular issue being
discussed before.

Attached is a patch to do the simple solution, in case anybody thinks
that it should be used.

[PATCH] __block_write_full_page race fix

When running

on an ext2 filesystem with 1024 byte block size, on SMP i386 with 4096 byte
page size over loopback to an image file on a tmpfs filesystem, I would
very quickly hit
BUG_ON(!buffer_async_write(bh));
in fs/buffer.c:end_buffer_async_write

It seems that more than one request would be submitted for a given bh
at a time.

What would happen is the following:
2 threads doing __mpage_writepages on the same page.
Thread 1 - lock the page first, and enter __block_write_full_page.
Thread 1 - (eg.) mark_buffer_async_write on the first 2 buffers.
Thread 1 - set page writeback, unlock page.
Thread 2 - lock page, wait on page writeback
Thread 1 - submit_bh on the first 2 buffers.
=> both requests complete, none of the page buffers are async_write,
   end_page_writeback is called.
Thread 2 - wakes up. enters __block_write_full_page.
Thread 2 - mark_buffer_async_write on (eg.) the last buffer
Thread 1 - finds the last buffer has async_write set, submit_bh on that.
Thread 2 - submit_bh on the last buffer.
=> oops.

So change __block_write_full_page to explicitly keep track of the last bh
we need to issue, so we don't touch anything after issuing the last
request.

[PATCH] uml: header and code cleanup

Remove some definitions and declarations from arch/um/include/skas_ptrace.h,
as they have moved to arch/um/include/sysdep/skas_ptrace.h

Also, remove PTRACE_SIGPENDING support in UML at all.

[PATCH] uml: s390 preparation, sighandler interface abstraction

s390 passes parameters in registers.  So the only safe way to find out the
address of signal context, error-address and error-type (trap_no), which are
passed to signal handlers as parameters, is to declare these parameters.

So I inserted an subarch-specific macro which holds the declaration of
parameters for signal handlers.

[PATCH] uml: s390 preparation, delay moved to arch

s390 has fast read access to realtime clock (nanosecond resolution).  So it
makes sense to have an arch-specific implementation not only of __delay, but
__udelay also.

[PATCH] uml: s390 preparation, checksumming done in arch code

Checksum handling largely depends on the subarch.

Thus, I renamed i386 arch_csum_partial in arch/um/sys-i386/checksum.S back to
csum_partial, removed csum_partial from arch/um/kernel/checksum.c and shifted
EXPORT_SYMBOL(csum_partial) to arch/um/sys-i386/ksyms.c.

Then, csum_partial_copy_to and csum_partial_copy_from were shifted from
arch/um/kernel/checksum.c to arch/um/include/sysdep-i386/checksum.h and
inserted in the calling functions csum_partial_copy_from_user() and
csum_and_copy_to_user().

Now, arch/um/kernel/checksum.c is empty and removed.
