Roman Zippel 153b5d054a ntp: support for TAI
This adds support for setting the TAI value (International Atomic Time).  The
value is reported back to userspace via timex (as we don't have a
ntp_gettime() syscall).

Roland McGrath 4e4c22c711 signals: add set_restore_sigmask
This adds the set_restore_sigmask() inline in <linux/thread_info.h> and
replaces every set_thread_flag(TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK) with a call to it.  No
change, but abstracts the details of the flag protocol from all the calls.

Oleg Nesterov c289b074b6 hrtimer: don't modify restart_block->fn in restart functions
hrtimer_nanosleep_restart() clears/restores restart_block->fn. This is
pointless and complicates its usage. Note that if sys_restart_syscall()
doesn't actually happen, we have a bogus "pending" restart->fn anyway,

Oleg Nesterov 416529374b hrtimer: fix *rmtp/restarts handling in compat_sys_nanosleep()
Spotted by Pavel Emelyanov and Alexey Dobriyan.

compat_sys_nanosleep() implicitly uses hrtimer_nanosleep_restart(), this can't
work. Make a suitable compat_nanosleep_restart() helper.

Introduced by commit c70878b4e0
hrtimer: hook compat_sys_nanosleep up to high res timer code

Also, set ->addr_limit = KERNEL_DS before doing hrtimer_nanosleep(), this func
was changed by the previous patch and now takes the "__user *" parameter.

Thanks to Ingo Molnar for fixing the bug in this patch.

Anton Blanchard c70878b4e0 hrtimer: hook compat_sys_nanosleep up to high res timer code
Now we have high res timers on ppc64 I thought Id test them. It turns
out compat_sys_nanosleep hasnt been converted to the hrtimer code and so
is limited to HZ resolution.

The follow patch converts compat_sys_nanosleep to use high res timers.

Kyle McMartin d4d23add3a [PATCH] Common compat_sys_sysinfo
I noticed that almost all architectures implemented exactly the same
sys32_sysinfo...  except parisc, where a bug was to be found in handling of
the uptime.  So let's remove a whole whack of code for fun and profit.
Cribbed compat_sys_sysinfo from x86_64's implementation, since I figured it
would be the best tested.

This patch incorporates Arnd's suggestion of not using set_fs/get_fs, but
instead extracting out the common code from sys_sysinfo.

David Howells 3f2e05e90e [PATCH] BLOCK: Revert patch to hack around undeclared sigset_t in linux/compat.h
Revert Andrew Morton's patch to temporarily hack around the lack of a
declaration of sigset_t in linux/compat.h to make the block-disablement
patches build on IA64.  This got accidentally pushed to Linus and should
be fixed in a different manner.

Also make linux/compat.h #include asm/signal.h to gain a definition of
sigset_t so that it can externally declare sigset_from_compat().

This has been compile-tested for i386, x86_64, ia64, mips, mips64, frv, ppc and
ppc64 and run-tested on frv.

Toyo Abe 1711ef3866 [PATCH] posix-timers: Fix clock_nanosleep() doesn't return the remaining time in compatibility mode
The clock_nanosleep() function does not return the time remaining when the
sleep is interrupted by a signal.

This patch creates a new call out, compat_clock_nanosleep_restart(), which
handles returning the remaining time after a sleep is interrupted.  This
patch revives clock_nanosleep_restart().  It is now accessed via the new
call out.  The compat_clock_nanosleep_restart() is used for compatibility
access.

Since this is implemented in compatibility mode the normal path is
virtually unaffected - no real performance impact.

akpm@osdl.org 838cd153a5 [PATCH] N32 sigset and __COMPAT_ENDIAN_SWAP__
I'm testing glibc on MIPS64, little-endian, N32, O32 and N64 multilibs.

Among the NPTL test failures seen are some arising from sigsuspend problems
for N32: it blocks the wrong signals, so SIGCANCEL (SIGRTMIN) is blocked
despite glibc's carefully excluding it from sets of signals to block.
Specifically, testing suggests it blocks signal N^32 instead of signal N,
so (in the example tested) blocking SIGUSR1 (17) blocks signal 49 instead.

glibc's sigset_t uses an array of unsigned long, as does the kernel.
In both cases, signal N+1 is represented as
(1UL << (N % (8 * sizeof (unsigned long)))) in word number
(N / (8 * sizeof (unsigned long))).

Thus the N32 glibc uses an array of 32-bit words and the N64 kernel uses an
array of 64-bit words.  For little-endian, the layout is the same, with
signals 1-32 in the first 4 bytes, signals 33-64 in the second, etc.; for
big-endian, userspace has that layout while in the kernel each 8 bytes have
the two halves swapped from the userspace layout.

The N32 sigsuspend syscall uses sigset_from_compat to convert the userspace
sigset to kernel format.  If __COMPAT_ENDIAN_SWAP__ is *not* set, this uses
logic of the form

  set->sig[0] = compat->sig[0] | (((long)compat->sig[1]) << 32 )

to convert the userspace sigset to a kernel one.  This looks correct to me
for both big and little endian, given that in userspace compat->sig[1] will
represent signals 33-64, and so will the high 32 bits of set->sig[0] in the
kernel.  If however __COMPAT_ENDIAN_SWAP__ *is* set, as it is for
__MIPSEL__, it uses

  set->sig[0] = compat->sig[1] | (((long)compat->sig[0]) << 32 );

which seems incorrect for both big and little endian, and would
explain the observed symptoms.

This code is the only use of __COMPAT_ENDIAN_SWAP__, so if incorrect
then that macro serves no purpose, in which case something like the
following patch would seem appropriate to remove it.

Christoph Lameter 9216dfad4f [PATCH] move_pages: fix 32 -> 64 bit compat function
The definition of the third parameter is a pointer to an array of virtual
addresses which give us some trouble.  The existing code calculated the
wrong address in the array since I used void to avoid having to specify a
type.

I now use the correct type "compat_uptr_t __user *" in the definition of
the function in kernel/compat.c.

However, I used __u32 in syscalls.h.  Would have to include compat.h there
in order to provide the same definition which would generate an ugly
include situation.

On both ia64 and x86_64 compat_uptr_t is u32. So this works although
parameter declarations differ.
