In the recent timer rework we lost the check for an add_timer() of an
already-pending timer.  That check was useful for networking, so put it back.

If the requested I/O scheduler is already in place, elevator_switch simply
leaves the queue alone, and returns.  However, it forgets to call
elevator_put, so

'echo [current_sched] > /sys/block/[dev]/queue/scheduler'

will leak a reference, causing the current_sched module to be permanently
pinned in memory.

Now that RCU applied on 'struct file' seems stable, we can place f_rcuhead
in a memory location that is not anymore used at call_rcu(&f->f_rcuhead,
file_free_rcu) time, to reduce the size of this critical kernel object.

The trick I used is to move f_rcuhead and f_list in an union called f_u

Removes a few pointless register keywords.  register is merely a compiler
hint that access to the variable should be optimized, but gcc (3.3.6 in my
case) generates the exact same code with and without the keyword, and even
if gcc did something different with register present I think it is doubtful
we would want to optimize access to these variables - especially since this
is generic library code and there are supposed to be optimized versions in
asm/ for anything that really matters speed wise.

task_struct is an internal structure to the kernel with a lot of good
information, that is probably interesting in core dumps.  However there is
no way for user space to know what format that information is in making it
useless.

I grepped the GDB 6.3 source code and NT_TASKSTRUCT while defined is not
used anywhere else.  So I would be surprised if anyone notices it is
missing.

In addition exporting kernel pointers to all the interesting kernel data
structures sounds like the very definition of an information leak.  I
haven't a clue what someone with evil intentions could do with that
information, but in any attack against the kernel it looks like this is the
perfect tool for aiming that attack.

So since NT_TASKSTRUCT is useless as currently defined and is potentially
dangerous, let's just not export it.

(akpm: Daniel Jacobowitz <dan@debian.org> "would be amazed" if anything was
using NT_TASKSTRUCT).

Create a macro shift_right() that avoids the numerous ugly conditionals in the

        else
                b = a >> shift;

Replacing it with:

        b = shift_right(a, shift);

This should have zero effect on the logic, however it should probably have
a bit of testing just to be sure.

Also replace open-coded min/max with the macros.

Fix the problem (BUG 4964) with unmapped buffers in transaction's

block_write_full_page() must call filesystem's invalidatepage().  Otherwise
following nasty race can happen:

   ------                                        ------

  => bh gets to the transactions data list
                                              - starts truncate
                                                => i_size set to new size
- mpage_writepages()
  - ext3_ordered_writepage() to 'offset'
    - block_write_full_page()
      - page->index > end_index+1
        - block_invalidatepage()
          - discard_buffer()
            - clear_buffer_mapped()

I just noted that -mtune is used, which is only supported on recent GCCs; by
reading http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-3.4/changes.html, you see "-mcpu has been
renamed to -mtune.", so for GCC < 3.4 we're not using any specific tuning in
the appropriate cases.  However -mcpu is deprecated, so use -mtune when
possible.

This was introduced by commit e9d4dce954a60dc23dd1d967766ca2347b780e54 of the
old tree (between 2.6.10-rc3 and 2.6.10) by Linus Torvalds, to remove the use
of -march, since that could trigger gcc using SSE on its own.  But no
attention was used about using -mcpu vs.  -mtune.

And btw, the old 2.6.4 code (for instance) was:
cflags-$(CONFIG_MPENTIUMII)     += $(call check_gcc,-march=pentium2,-march=i686)
cflags-$(CONFIG_MPENTIUMIII)    += $(call check_gcc,-march=pentium3,-march=i686)
