This patch introduces a new flag SCHED_RESET_ON_FORK which can be passed
to the kernel via sched_setscheduler(), ORed in the policy parameter. If
set this will make sure that when the process forks a) the scheduling
priority is reset to DEFAULT_PRIO if it was higher and b) the scheduling
policy is reset to SCHED_NORMAL if it was either SCHED_FIFO or SCHED_RR.
Why have this?
Currently, if a process is real-time scheduled this will 'leak' to all
its child processes. For security reasons it is often (always?) a good
idea to make sure that if a process acquires RT scheduling this is
confined to this process and only this process. More specifically this
makes the per-process resource limit RLIMIT_RTTIME useful for security
purposes, because it makes it impossible to use a fork bomb to
circumvent the per-process RLIMIT_RTTIME accounting.
This feature is also useful for tools like 'renice' which can then
change the nice level of a process without having this spill to all its
child processes.
Why expose this via sched_setscheduler() and not other syscalls such as
prctl() or sched_setparam()?
prctl() does not take a pid parameter. Due to that it would be
impossible to modify this flag for other processes than the current one.
The struct passed to sched_setparam() can unfortunately not be extended
without breaking compatibility, since sched_setparam() lacks a size
parameter.
How to use this from userspace? In your RT program simply replace this:
sched_setscheduler(pid, SCHED_FIFO, ¶m);
by this:
sched_setscheduler(pid, SCHED_FIFO|SCHED_RESET_ON_FORK, ¶m);

At present, every architecture that supports perf_counters has to
declare set_perf_counter_pending() in its arch-specific headers.
This consolidates the declarations into a single declaration in one
common place, include/linux/perf_counter.h. On powerpc, we continue
to provide a static inline definition of set_perf_counter_pending()
in the powerpc hw_irq.h.
Also, this removes from the x86 perf_counter.h the unused null
definitions of {test,clear}_perf_counter_pending.

With kmemcheck enabled, the slab allocator needs to do this:
1. Tell kmemcheck to allocate the shadow memory which stores the status of
each byte in the allocation proper, e.g. whether it is initialized or
uninitialized.
2. Tell kmemcheck which parts of memory that should be marked uninitialized.
There are actually a few more states, such as "not yet allocated" and
"recently freed".
If a slab cache is set up using the SLAB_NOTRACK flag, it will never return
memory that can take page faults because of kmemcheck.
If a slab cache is NOT set up using the SLAB_NOTRACK flag, callers can still
request memory with the __GFP_NOTRACK flag. This does not prevent the page
faults from occuring, however, but marks the object in question as being
initialized so that no warnings will ever be produced for this object.
In addition to (and in contrast to) __GFP_NOTRACK, the
__GFP_NOTRACK_FALSE_POSITIVE flag indicates that the allocation should
not be tracked _because_ it would produce a false positive. Their values
are identical, but need not be so in the future (for example, we could now
enable/disable false positives with a config option).
Parts of this patch were contributed by Pekka Enberg but merged for
atomicity.

Decouple the creation and destruction of the net_device from the order
of discovery and removal of nodes with RFC 2734 unit directories since
there is no reliable order. The net_device is now created when the
first RFC 2734 unit on a card is discovered, and destroyed when the last
RFC 2734 unit on a card went away. This includes all remote units as
well as the local unit, which is therefore tracked as a peer now too.
Also, locking around the list of peers is slightly extended to guard
against peer removal. As a side effect, fwnet_peer.pdg_lock has become
superfluous and is deleted.
Peer data (max_rec, speed, node ID, generation) are updated more
carefully.

This extra check will avoid Broadcast_Channel register related traffic
to many IIDC, SBP-2, and AV/C devices which aren't IRMC or have a
max_rec < 8 (i.e. support < 512 bytes async payload). This avoids a
little bit of traffic after bus reset and is even more careful with
devices which don't implement this CSR.
The assumption is that no other protocol than IP over 1394 uses the
broadcast channel for streams.

read and write to memory that was allocated dynamically (e.g. using

written to, a message is printed to the kernel log.

There is sometimes a need for the ocores driver to add devices to the
bus when installed.
i2c_register_board_info can not always be used, because the I2C devices
are not known at an early state, they could for instance be connected
on a I2C bus on a PCI device which has the Open Cores IP.
i2c_new_device can not be used in all cases either since the resulting
bus nummer might be unknown.
The solution is the pass a list of I2C devices in the platform data to
the Open Cores driver. This is useful for MFD drivers.

Rationale: kmemcheck needs to be able to schedule a tasklet without
touching any dynamically allocated memory _at_ _all_ (since that would
lead to a recursive page fault). This tasklet is used for writing the
error reports to the kernel log.
The new scheduling function avoids touching any other tasklets by
inserting the new tasklist as the head of the "tasklet_hi" list instead
of on the tail.
Also don't wake up the softirq thread lest the scheduler access some
tracked memory and we go down with a recursive page fault.
In this case, we'd better just wait for the maximum time of 1/HZ for the
message to appear.
