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.

The `last_bh' logic probably isn't worth much.  In those situations where only
the front part of the page is being written out we will save some looping but
in the vastly more common case of an all-page writeout if just adds more code.

When running
	fsstress -v -d $DIR/tmp -n 1000 -p 1000 -l 2
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.

Add better support for (non-incremental) 2.6.x.y patches; If an ending
version number if not specified, the script automatically increments the
SUBLEVEL (x in 2.6.x.y) until no more patch files are found; however,
EXTRAVERSION (y in 2.6.x.y) is never automatically incremented but must be
specified fully.

patch-kernel does not normally support reverse patching, but does so when
applying EXTRAVERSION (x.y) patches, so that moving from 2.6.11.y to
2.6.11.z is easy and handled by the script (reverse 2.6.11.y and apply
2.6.11.z).

s390 passes parameters in registers.  So the only safe way to find out the

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.

This patch removes the arch-specific fault/trap-infos from thread and
skas-regs.

It adds a new struct faultinfo, that is arch-specific defined in
sysdep/faultinfo.h.

The structure is inserted in thread.arch and thread.regs.skas and
thread.regs.tt

Now, segv and other trap-handlers can copy the contents from regs.X.faultinfo
to thread.arch.faultinfo with one simple assignment.

Also, the number of macros necessary is reduced to

FAULT_ADDRESS(struct faultinfo)
    extracts the faulting address from faultinfo

FAULT_WRITE(struct faultinfo)
    extracts the "is_write" flag

SEGV_IS_FIXABLE(struct faultinfo)
    is true for the fixable segvs, i.e. (TRAP == 14)
    on i386

UPT_FAULTINFO(regs)
    result is (struct faultinfo *) to the faultinfo
    in regs->skas.faultinfo

GET_FAULTINFO_FROM_SC(struct faultinfo, struct sigcontext *)
    copies the relevant parts of the sigcontext to
    struct faultinfo.

On SIGSEGV, call user_signal() instead of handle_segv(), if the architecture
provides the information needed in PTRACE_FAULTINFO, or if PTRACE_FAULTINFO is
missing, because segv-stub will provide the info.

The benefit of the change is, that in case of a non-fixable SIGSEGV, we can
give user processes a SIGSEGV, instead of possibly looping on pagefault
handling.

Since handle_segv() sikked arch_fixup() implicitly by passing ip==0 to segv(),
I changed segv() to call arch_fixup() only, if !is_user.

Beginning of cross-build fixes.  Instead of expecting that mk_user_constants
(compiled and executed on the build box) will see the sizeof, etc.  for target
box, we do what every architecture already does for asm-offsets.  Namely, have
user-offsets.c compiled *for* *target* into user-offsets.s and sed it into the
header with relevant constants.  We don't need to reinvent any wheels - all
tools are already there.

This patch deals with mk_user_constants.  It doesn't assume any relationship
between target and build environment anymore - we pick all defines we need
from user-offsets.h.  Later patches will deal with the rest of mk_...  helpers
in the same way.

In include/asm-x86_64/string.h there are such comments:

/* Use C out of line version for memcmp */
#define memcmp __builtin_memcmp
int memcmp(const void * cs,const void * ct,size_t count);

This would mean that if the compiler does not decide to use __builtin_memcmp,
it emits a call to memcmp to be satisfied by the C out-of-line version in
lib/string.c.  What happens is that after preprocessing, in lib/string.i you
may find the definition of "__builtin_strcmp".

Actually, by accident, in the object you will find the definition of strcmp
and such (maybe a trick intended to redirect calls to __builtin_memcmp to the
default memcmp when the definition is not expanded); however, this particular
case is not a documented feature as far as I can see.

Also, the EXPORT_SYMBOL does not work, so it's duplicated in the arch.

I simply added some #undef to lib/string.c and removed the (now duplicated)
