Jumping to 0x00 might do something depending on the following

It's unnecessary overhead in code that's supposed to be highly
optimized.  Removing it allows us to remove one of the two
syscall instructions in the vsyscall page.

The only sensible use for it is for UML users, and it doesn't
fully address inconsistent vsyscall results on UML.  The real
fix for UML is to stop using vsyscalls entirely.

This reverts commit b1c43f82.

It was broken in so many ways, and results in random odd pty issues.

It re-introduced the buggy schedule_work() in flush_to_ldisc() that can
cause endless work-loops (see commit a5660b41: "tty: fix endless
work loop when the buffer fills up").

It also used an "unsigned int" return value fo the ->receive_buf()
function, but then made multiple functions return a negative error code,
and didn't actually check for the error in the caller.

And it didn't actually work at all.  BenH bisected down odd tty behavior
to it:
  "It looks like the patch is causing some major malfunctions of the X
   server for me, possibly related to PTYs.  For example, cat'ing a
   large file in a gnome terminal hangs the kernel for -minutes- in a
   loop of what looks like flush_to_ldisc/workqueue code, (some ftrace
   data in the quoted bits further down).

   ...

   Some more data: It -looks- like what happens is that the
   flush_to_ldisc work queue entry constantly re-queues itself (because
   the PTY is full ?) and the workqueue thread will basically loop
   forver calling it without ever scheduling, thus starving the consumer
   process that could have emptied the PTY."

which is pretty much exactly the problem we fixed in a5660b41.

Milton Miller pointed out the 'unsigned int' issue.

UBIFS maintains per-filesystem and global clean znode counters
('c->clean_zn_cnt' and 'ubifs_clean_zn_cnt'). It is important to maintain
correct values there since the shrinker relies on 'ubifs_clean_zn_cnt'.

However, in case of failures during commit the counters were corrupted. E.g.,
if a failure happens in the middle of 'write_index()', then some nodes in the
commit list ('c->cnext') are marked as clean, and some are marked as dirty. And
the 'ubifs_destroy_tnc_subtree()' frees does not retrun correct count, and we
end up with non-zero 'c->clean_zn_cnt' when unmounting. This means that if we
have 2 file-sytem and one of them fails, and we unmount it,
'ubifs_clean_zn_cnt' stays incorrect and confuses the shrinker.

UBIFS leaks memory on error path in 'ubifs_jnl_update()' in case of write
failure because it forgets to free the 'struct ubifs_dent_node *dent' object.

Sometimes VM asks the shrinker to return amount of objects it can shrink,
and we return the ubifs_clean_zn_cnt in that case. However, it is possible
that this counter is negative for a short period of time, due to the way
UBIFS TNC code updates it. And I can observe the following warnings sometimes:

shrink_slab: ubifs_shrinker+0x0/0x2b7 [ubifs] negative objects to delete nr=-8541616642706119788

This patch makes sure UBIFS never returns negative count of objects.

Because there is a possibility that skb is kfree_skb()ed and zero cleared
after ndo_start_xmit, we should not see the contents of skb like skb->len and
skb->dev->name after ndo_start_xmit. But trace_net_dev_xmit does that
and causes panic by NULL pointer dereference.
This patch fixes trace_net_dev_xmit not to see the contents of skb directly.

If you want to reproduce this panic,

1. Get tracepoint of net_dev_xmit on
2. Create 2 guests on KVM
2. Make 2 guests use virtio_net
4. Execute netperf from one to another for a long time as a network burden

In certain circumstances, we can get an oops from a torn down device.
Most notably this is from CD roms trying to call scsi_ioctl.  The root
cause of the problem is the fact that after scsi_remove_device() has
been called, the queue is fully torn down.  This is actually wrong
since the queue can be used until the sdev release function is called.
Therefore, we add an extra reference to the queue which is released in
sdev->release, so the queue always exists.

Currently the DM9000 driver requests the primary interrupt before it
resets the chip and puts it into a known good state. This means that if
the chip is asserting interrupt for some reason we can end up with a
screaming IRQ that the interrupt handler is unable to deal with. Avoid
this by only requesting the interrupt after we've reset the chip so we
know what state it's in.

This started manifesting itself on one of my boards in the past month or
so, I suspect as a result of some core infrastructure changes removing
some form of mitigation against bad behaviour here, even when things boot
it seems that the new code brings the interface up more quickly.
