If an md array is "auto-read-only", then this appears in /proc/mdstat as

   /dev/md0: active(auto-read-only)

whereas if it is truely readonly, it appears as

   /dev/md0: active (read-only)

The difference being a space.

One program known to parse this file expects the space and gets badly
confused.  It will be fixed, but it would be best if what the kernel generates
is more consistent too.

Address 3 known bugs in the current memory policy reference counting method.
I have a series of patches to rework the reference counting to reduce overhead
in the allocation path.  However, that series will require testing in -mm once
I repost it.

1) alloc_page_vma() does not release the extra reference taken for
   vma/shared mempolicy when the mode == MPOL_INTERLEAVE.  This can result in
   leaking mempolicy structures.  This is probably occurring, but not being
   noticed.

   Fix:  add the conditional release of the reference.

2) hugezonelist unconditionally releases a reference on the mempolicy when
   mode == MPOL_INTERLEAVE.  This can result in decrementing the reference
   count for system default policy [should have no ill effect] or premature
   freeing of task policy.  If this occurred, the next allocation using task
   mempolicy would use the freed structure and probably BUG out.

   Fix:  add the necessary check to the release.

3) The current reference counting method assumes that vma 'get_policy()'
   methods automatically add an extra reference a non-NULL returned mempolicy.
    This is true for shmem_get_policy() used by tmpfs mappings, including
   regular page shm segments.  However, SHM_HUGETLB shm's, backed by
   hugetlbfs, just use the vma policy without the extra reference.  This
   results in freeing of the vma policy on the first allocation, with reuse of
   the freed mempolicy structure on subsequent allocations.

   Fix: Rather than add another condition to the conditional reference
   release, which occur in the allocation path, just add a reference when
   returning the vma policy in shm_get_policy() to match the assumptions.

We currently set the root-domain online span automatically when the
domain is added to the cpu if the cpu is already a member of
cpu_online_map.

This was done as a hack/bug-fix for s2ram, but it also causes a problem
with hotplug CPU_DOWN transitioning.  The right way to fix the original
problem is to actually respond to CPU_UP events, instead of CPU_ONLINE,
which is already too late.

This solves the hung reboot regression reported by Andrew Morton and
others.

The first version of the ntp_interval/tick_length inconsistent usage patch was
recently merged as bbe4d18a

http://git.kernel.org/gitweb.cgi?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=bbe4d18ac2e058c56adb0cd71f49d9ed3216a405

While the fix did greatly improve the situation, it was correctly pointed out
by Roman that it does have a small bug: If the users change clocksources after
the system has been running and NTP has made corrections, the correctoins made
against the old clocksource will be applied against the new clocksource,
causing error.

The second attempt, which corrects the issue in the NTP_INTERVAL_LENGTH
definition has also made it up-stream as commit
e13a2e61

http://git.kernel.org/gitweb.cgi?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=e13a2e61dd5152f5499d2003470acf9c838eab84

Roman has correctly pointed out that CLOCK_TICK_ADJUST is calculated
based on the PIT's frequency, and isn't really relevant to non-PIT
driven clocksources (that is, clocksources other then jiffies and pit).

This patch reverts both of those changes, and simply removes
CLOCK_TICK_ADJUST.

This does remove the granularity error correction for users of PIT and Jiffies
clocksource users, but the granularity error but for the majority of users, it
should be within the 500ppm range NTP can accommodate for.

For systems that have granularity errors greater then 500ppm, the
"ntp_tick_adj=" boot option can be used to compensate.

This makes 64-bit ptrace calls setting the 64-bit orig_ax field for a
32-bit task sign-extend the low 32 bits up to 64.  This matches what a
64-bit debugger expects when tracing a 32-bit task.

This follows on my "x86_64 ia32 syscall restart fix".  This didn't
matter until that was fixed.

The debugger ignores or zeros the high half of every register slot it
sets (including the orig_rax pseudo-register) uniformly.  It expects
that the setting of the low 32 bits always has the same meaning as a
32-bit debugger setting those same 32 bits with native 32-bit
facilities.

This never arose before because the syscall restart check never
matched any -ERESTART* values due to lack of sign extension.  Before
that fix, even 32-bit ptrace setting orig_eax to -1 failed to trigger
the restart check anyway.  So this was never noticed as a regression
of 64-bit debuggers vs 32-bit debuggers on the same 64-bit kernel.
