A careful reading of the recent changes to the system call entry/exit
paths revealed several problems, plus some things that could be
simplified and improved:
* 32-bit wasn't testing the _TIF_NOERROR bit in the syscall fast exit
path, so it was only doing anything with it once it saw some other
bit being set. In other words, the noerror behaviour would apply to
the next system call where we had to reschedule or deliver a signal,
which is not necessarily the current system call.
* 32-bit wasn't doing the call to ptrace_notify in the syscall exit
path when the _TIF_SINGLESTEP bit was set.
* _TIF_RESTOREALL was in both _TIF_USER_WORK_MASK and
_TIF_PERSYSCALL_MASK, which is odd since _TIF_RESTOREALL is only set
by system calls. I took it out of _TIF_USER_WORK_MASK.
* On 64-bit, _TIF_RESTOREALL wasn't causing the non-volatile registers
to be restored (unless perhaps a signal was delivered or the syscall
was traced or single-stepped). Thus the non-volatile registers
weren't restored on exit from a signal handler. We probably got
away with it mostly because signal handlers written in C wouldn't
alter the non-volatile registers.
* On 32-bit I simplified the code and made it more like 64-bit by
making the syscall exit path jump to ret_from_except to handle
preemption and signal delivery.
* 32-bit was calling do_signal unnecessarily when _TIF_RESTOREALL was
set - but I think because of that 32-bit was actually restoring the
non-volatile registers on exit from a signal handler.
* I changed the order of enabling interrupts and saving the
non-volatile registers before calling do_syscall_trace_leave; now we
enable interrupts first.

On logically-partitioned machines the first element of the reg
property in the memory node is defined to be the "RMO" region,
i.e. the memory that the processor can access in real mode. On other
machines the first element has no special meaning, so only take it to
be the RMO region on LPAR machines.

Some of the windfarm sensor modules can initialize on old machines that
don't have full windfarm support like non-dual core desktop G5s.
Unfortunately, by doing so, they would trigger a bug in their matching
algorithm causing them to attach to the wrong bus, thus triggering
issues with the i2c core and breaking the thermal driver.
This patch fixes the probing issue (so that they will work when a
windfarm port is done to these machines) and also prevents for now
windfarm to load at all on these machines that still use therm_pm72 to
avoid wasting resources.

The variable `timebase' used to transfer the current timebase value
from one cpu to the other in smp_core99_give/take_timebase was only
an unsigned long, i.e. 32 bits on 32-bit machines. It needs to be
64 bits. This makes it a u64, and fixes the issue reported by Kyle
Moffett, that the two cpus see wildly different values for the time

On 32-bit, the exception prolog for the program check exception doesn't
enable interrupts early on. If it is an illegal instruction exception,
we read the instruction in order to emulate certain instructions, and
the get_user of the instruction triggers a WARN_ON since interrupts
are still disabled. This adds a local_irq_enable() to enable
interrupts before reading the instruction.

On some platforms readq performs additional work to make sure I/O is done
in a coherent way. This is not needed for time retrieval as done by the
time interpolator. So we can use readq_relaxed instead which will improve
performance.
It affects sparc64 and ia64 only. Apparently it makes a significant

v9fs has been plagued by an over-complicated approach trying to map Linux
dentry semantics to Plan 9 fid semantics. Our previous approach called for
aggressive flushing of the dcache resulting in several problems (including
wierd cwd behavior when running /bin/pwd).
This patch dramatically simplifies our handling of this fid management. Fids
will not be clunked as promptly, but the new approach is more functionally
correct. We now clunk un-open fids only when their dentry ref_count reaches 0
(and d_delete is called).
Another simplification is we no longer seek to match fids to the process-id or
uid of the action initiator. The uid-matching will need to be revisited when
we fix the security model.

They are disabled, and for good reason as it was originally identified by

found that it works fine, and I cannot find a reason for either, except
