rtc-cmos alarm acts as oneshot
Start making the rtc-cmos alarm act more like a oneshot alarm by disabling
that alarm after its IRQ fires. (ACPI hooks are also needed.)
The Linux RTC framework has previously been a bit vague in this area, but
any other behavior is problematic and not very portable. RTCs with full
YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM[:SS] alarms won't have a problem here. Only ones with
partial match criteria, with the most visible example being the PC RTC, get
confused. (Because the criteria will match repeatedly.)
Update comments relating to that oneshot behavior and timezone handling.
(Timezones are another issue that's mostly visible with rtc-cmos. That's
because PCs often dual-boot MS-Windows, which likes its RTC to match local
wall-clock time instead of UTC.)

This makes rtc-cmos export its NVRAM, like several other RTC drivers.
It still works within the limits of the current CMOS_READ/CMOS_WRITE calls,

impact of that limitation is that Linux can't access the uppermost 128
bytes of NVRAM on many systems.
Note that this isn't aiming to be a drop-in replacement for the legacy
/dev/nvram support. (Presumably that has real users, and isn't just
getting carried forward automatically?) Userspace handles more work:
- When userspace code updates NVRAM, that will need to include
updating any platform-specific checksums that may apply.
- No /proc/driver/nvram file will parse and display NVRAM data
according to whichever boot firmware your board expects.
Also minor pnp-related updates: update a comment, remove dead code.

ecryptfs: check for existing key_tfm at mount time
Jeff Moyer pointed out that a mount; umount loop of ecryptfs, with the same

Looking at this with mhalcrow, we saw that ecryptfs_parse_options()
unconditionally called ecryptfs_add_new_key_tfm(), which is what was adding
these items.
Refactor ecryptfs_get_tfm_and_mutex_for_cipher_name() to create a new
helper function, ecryptfs_tfm_exists(), which checks for the cipher on the
cached key_tfm_list, and sets a pointer to it if it exists. This can then
be called from ecryptfs_parse_options(), and new key_tfm's can be added
only when a cached one is not found.

kernel/sys.c: get rid of expensive divides in groups_sort()
groups_sort() can be quite long if user loads a large gid table.
This is because GROUP_AT(group_info, some_integer) uses an integer divide.
So having to do XXX thousand divides during one syscall can lead to very
high latencies. (NGROUPS_MAX=65536)
In the past (25 Mar 2006), an analog problem was found in groups_search()
(commit d74beb9f33a5f16d2965f11b275e401f225c949d ) and at that time I
changed some variables to unsigned int.
I believe that a more generic fix is to make sure NGROUPS_PER_BLOCK is
unsigned.

tty: enable the echoing of ^C in the N_TTY discipline
Turn on INTR/QUIT/SUSP echoing in the N_TTY line discipline (e.g. ctrl-C
will appear as "^C" if stty echoctl is set and ctrl-C is set as INTR).
Linux seems to be the only unix-like OS (recently I've verified this on
Solaris, BSD, and Mac OS X) that does *not* behave this way, and I really
miss this as a good visual confirmation of the interrupt of a program in
the console or xterm. I remember this fondly from many Unixs I've used
over the years as well. Bringing this to Linux also seems like a good way
to make it yet more compliant with standard unix-like behavior.

Add arch_ptrace_stop
This adds support to allow asm/ptrace.h to define two new macros,
arch_ptrace_stop_needed and arch_ptrace_stop. These control special
machine-specific actions to be done before a ptrace stop. The new code
compiles away to nothing when the new macros are not defined. This is the
case on all machines to begin with.
On ia64, these macros will be defined to solve the long-standing issue of
ptrace vs register backing store.

quota: improve inode list scanning in add_dquot_ref()
We restarted scan of sb->s_inodes list whenever we had to drop inode_lock
in add_dquot_ref(). This leads to overall quadratic running time and thus
add_dquot_ref() can take several minutes when called on a life filesystem.
We fix the problem by using the fact that inode cannot be removed from
s_inodes list while we hold a reference to it and thus we can safely
restart the scan if we don't drop the reference. Here we use the fact that
inodes freshly added to s_inodes list are already guaranteed to have quotas
properly initialized and the ordering of inodes on s_inodes list does not
change so we cannot skip any inode.
Thanks goes to Nick <gentuu@gmail.com> for analyzing the problem and
testing the fix.

kallsyms should prefer non weak symbols
When resolving symbol names from addresses with aliased symbol names,
kallsyms_lookup always returns the first symbol, even if it is a weak
symbol.
This patch changes this by sorting the symbols with the weak symbols last
before feeding them to the kernel. This way the kernel runtime isn't
changed at all, only the kallsyms build system is changed.
Another side effect is that the symbols get sorted by address, too. So,
even if future binutils version have some bug in "nm" that makes it fail to
correctly sort symbols by address, the kernel won't be affected by this.
Mathieu says:
I created a module in LTTng that uses kallsyms to get the symbol
corresponding to a specific system call address. Unfortunately, all the
unimplemented syscalls were all referring to the (same) weak symbol
identifying an unrelated system call rather that sys_ni (or whatever
non-weak symbol would be expected). Kallsyms was dumbly returning the first
symbol that matched.
This patch makes sure kallsyms returns the non-weak symbol when there is
one, which seems to be the expected result.

inotify: fix race
There is a race between setting an inode's children's "parent watched" flag
when placing the first watch on a parent, and instantiating new children of
that parent: a child could miss having its flags set by
set_dentry_child_flags, but then inotify_d_instantiate might still see
!inotify_inode_watched.
The solution is to set_dentry_child_flags after adding the watch. Locking is
taken care of, because both set_dentry_child_flags and inotify_d_instantiate
hold dcache_lock and child->d_locks.

Remove rcu_assign_pointer() penalty for NULL pointers
The rcu_assign_pointer() primitive currently unconditionally executes a

some to avoid using rcu_assign_pointer() for NULL pointers, which loses the

__builtin_const_p() to omit needless memory barriers for NULL-pointer
assignments at compile time with no runtime penalty, as discussed in the
