The per-CPU initialization code is copying in bogus data into
thread->tls_array. Note that it copies &per_cpu(cpu_gdt_table, cpu), not
&per_cpu(cpu_gdt_table, cpu)[GDT_ENTRY_TLS_MIN). That is totally broken
and unnecessary. Make the initialization explicitly NULL.

Initial internal version of Venki's cpuid(4) deterministic cache parameter
identification patch used static arrays of size MAX_CACHE_LEAVES. Final patch
which made to the base used dynamic array allocation, with this
MAX_CACHE_LEAVES limit hunk still in place.
cpuid(4) already has a mechanism to find out the number of cache levels
implemented and there is no need for this hardcoded MAX_CACHE_LEAVES limit.
So remove the MAX_CACHE_LEAVES limit from the routine which calculates the
number of cache levels using cpuid(4)

I just found out that some precision is unnecessarily lost in the
arch/i386/kernel/timers/timer_tsc.c:set_cyc2ns_scale function. It uses a
cpu_mhz parameter when it could use a cpu_khz. In the specific case of an
Intel P4 running at 3001.171 Mhz, the truncation to 3001 Mhz leads to an
imprecision of 19 microseconds per second : this is very sad for a timer with
nearly nanosecond accuracy.
Fix the x86_64 architecture too.

This patch allows SELinux to canonicalize the value returned from
getxattr() via the security_inode_getsecurity() hook, which is called after
the fs level getxattr() function.
The purpose of this is to allow the in-core security context for an inode
to override the on-disk value. This could happen in cases such as
upgrading a system to a different labeling form (e.g. standard SELinux to
MLS) without needing to do a full relabel of the filesystem.
In such cases, we want getxattr() to return the canonical security context
that the kernel is using rather than what is stored on disk.
The implementation hooks into the inode_getsecurity(), adding another
parameter to indicate the result of the preceding fs-level getxattr() call,
so that SELinux knows whether to compare a value obtained from disk with
the kernel value.
We also now allow getxattr() to work for mountpoint labeled filesystems
(i.e. mount with option context=foo_t), as we are able to return the
kernel value to the user.

The second argument to ata_qc_complete() was being used for two
purposes: communicate the ATA Status register to the completion
function, and indicate an error. On legacy PCI IDE hardware, the latter
is often implicit in the former. On more modern hardware, the driver
often completely emulated a Status register value, passing ATA_ERR as an
indication that something went wrong.
Now that previous code changes have eliminated the need to use drv_stat
arg to communicate the ATA Status register value, we can convert it to a
mask of possible error classes.
This will lead to more flexible error handling in the future.

Policy contextualization is only useful for task based policies and not for
vma based policies. It may be useful to define allowed nodes that are not
accessible from this thread because other threads may have access to these
nodes. Without this patch strange memory policy situations may cause an
application to fail with out of memory.
Example:
Let's say we have two threads A and B that share the same address space and
a huge array computational array X.
Thread A is restricted by its cpuset to nodes 0 and 1 and thread B is
restricted by its cpuset to nodes 2 and 3.
Thread A now wants to restrict allocations to the first node and thus
applies a BIND policy on X to node 0 and 2. The cpuset limits this to node
0. Thus pages for X must be allocated on node 0 now.
Thread B now touches a page that has never been used in X and faults in a
page. According to the BIND policy of the vma for X the page must be
allocated on page 0. However, the cpuset of B does not allow allocation on
0 and 1. Now the application fails in alloc_pages with out of memory.

- Do a separation between do_xxx and sys_xxx functions. sys_xxx functions
take variable sized bitmaps from user space as arguments. do_xxx functions
take fixed sized nodemask_t as arguments and may be used from inside the
kernel. Doing so simplifies the initialization code. There is no
fs = kernel_ds assumption anymore.
- Split up get_nodes into get_nodes (which gets the node list) and
contextualize_policy which restricts the nodes to those accessible
to the task and updates cpusets.
