Jens has decided that allowing the default scheduler to be a module is
a bug, and should not be allowed under kconfig.  However, I find that
scenario useful for debugging, and wish for the kernel to be able to
handle this situation without OOPSing, if I enable such an option in
the .config directly.  This patch dynamically checks for the presence
of the compiled-in default, and falls back to no-op, emitting a
suitable error message, when the default is not available

Tested for a range of boot options on 2.6.16-rc1-mm2.

My previous default iosched patch did a poor job dealing with the
'elevator=' boot-time option.  The old behavior falls back to the
compiled-in default if the requested one is not registered at boot
time.  This patch dynamically evaluates which default
to use, and emits a suitable error message when the requested scheduler
is not available.  It also does the 'as' -> 'anticipatory' conversion
before elevator registration, which along with a modified registration
function, allows it to correctly indicate which default scheduler is
in use.

Tested for a range of boot options on 2.6.16-rc1-mm2.

The compat layer timeout handling changes in:

9f72949f

are busted.  This is most easily seen with an X application
that uses sub-second select/poll timeout such as emacs.  You
hit a key and it takes a second or so before the app responds.

The two ROUND_UP() calls upon entry are using {tv,ts}_sec where it
should instead be using {tv_usec,ts_nsec}, which perfectly explains
the observed incorrect behavior.

This is a subset of the bluesmoke project core code, stripped of the NMI work
which isn't ready to merge and some of the "interesting" proc functionality
that needs reworking or just has no place in kernel.  It requires no core
kernel changes except the added scrub functions already posted.

The goal is to merge further functionality only after the core code is
accepted and proven in the base kernel, and only at the point the upstream
extras are really ready to merge.

EDAC requires a way to scrub memory if an ECC error is found and the chipset
does not do the work automatically.  That means rewriting memory locations
atomically with respect to all CPUs _and_ bus masters.  That means we can't
use atomic_add(foo, 0) as it gets optimised for non-SMP

This adds a function to include/asm-foo/atomic.h for the platforms currently
supported which implements a scrub of a mapped block.

It also adjusts a few other files include order where atomic.h is included
before types.h as this now causes an error as atomic_scrub uses u32.

Add the sys_pselect6() and sys_poll() calls to the i386 syscall table.

The following implementation of ppoll() and pselect() system calls
depends on the architecture providing a TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK flag in the
thread_info.

These system calls have to change the signal mask during their
operation, and signal handlers must be invoked using the new, temporary
signal mask. The old signal mask must be restored either upon successful
exit from the system call, or upon returning from the invoked signal
handler if the system call is interrupted. We can't simply restore the
original signal mask and return to userspace, since the restored signal
mask may actually block the signal which interrupted the system call.

The TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK flag deals with this by causing the syscall exit
path to trap into do_signal() just as TIF_SIGPENDING does, and by
causing do_signal() to use the saved signal mask instead of the current
signal mask when setting up the stack frame for the signal handler -- or
by causing do_signal() to simply restore the saved signal mask in the
case where there is no handler to be invoked.

The first patch implements the sys_pselect() and sys_ppoll() system
calls, which are present only if TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK is defined. That
#ifdef should go away in time when all architectures have implemented
it. The second patch implements TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK for the PowerPC
kernel (in the -mm tree), and the third patch then removes the
arch-specific implementations of sys_rt_sigsuspend() and replaces them
with generic versions using the same trick.

The fourth and fifth patches, provided by David Howells, implement
TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK for FR-V and i386 respectively, and the sixth patch
adds the syscalls to the i386 syscall table.

This patch:

Add the pselect() and ppoll() system calls, providing core routines usable by
the original select() and poll() system calls and also the new calls (with
their semantics w.r.t timeouts).

Handle TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK as added by David Woodhouse's patch entitled:

        [PATCH] 2/3 Add TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK support for arch/powerpc
        [PATCH] 3/3 Generic sys_rt_sigsuspend

It does the following:

 (1) Declares TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK for i386.

 (2) Invokes it over to do_signal() when TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK is set.

 (3) Makes do_signal() support TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK, using the signal mask saved
     in current->saved_sigmask.

 (4) Discards sys_rt_sigsuspend() from the arch, using the generic one instead.

 (5) Makes sys_sigsuspend() save the signal mask and set TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK
     rather than attempting to fudge the return registers.

 (6) Makes sys_sigsuspend() return -ERESTARTNOHAND rather than looping
     intrinsically.

 (7) Makes setup_frame(), setup_rt_frame() and handle_signal() return 0 or
     -EFAULT rather than true/false to be consistent with the rest of the
     kernel.

Due to the fact do_signal() is then only called from one place:

 (8) Makes do_signal() no longer have a return value is it was just being
     ignored; force_sig() takes care of this.

 (9) Discards the old sigmask argument to do_signal() as it's no longer
     necessary.

(10) Makes do_signal() static.

(11) Marks the second argument to do_notify_resume() as unused. The unused
     argument should remain in the middle as the arguments are passed in as
     registers, and the ordering is specific in entry.S

Given the way do_signal() is now no longer called from sys_{,rt_}sigsuspend(),
they no longer need access to the exception frame, and so can just take
arguments normally.

This patch depends on sys_rt_sigsuspend patch.

Here is a series of patches which introduce in total 13 new system calls
which take a file descriptor/filename pair instead of a single file
name.  These functions, openat etc, have been discussed on numerous
occasions.  They are needed to implement race-free filesystem traversal,
they are necessary to implement a virtual per-thread current working
directory (think multi-threaded backup software), etc.

We have in glibc today implementations of the interfaces which use the
/proc/self/fd magic.  But this code is rather expensive.  Here are some
results (similar to what Jim Meyering posted before).

The test creates a deep directory hierarchy on a tmpfs filesystem.  Then
rm -fr is used to remove all directories.  Without syscall support I get
this:

real    0m31.921s
user    0m0.688s
sys     0m31.234s

With syscall support the results are much better:

real    0m20.699s
user    0m0.536s
sys     0m20.149s

The interfaces are for obvious reasons currently not much used.  But they'll
be used.  coreutils (and Jeff's posixutils) are already using them.
Furthermore, code like ftw/fts in libc (maybe even glob) will also start using
them.  I expect a patch to make follow soon.  Every program which is walking
the filesystem tree will benefit.

it is too late to return an error) to the call handling.  This means several
