This patch fixes a crash caused by an interrupt coming in when an IRQ stack
is being torn down.  When this happens, handle_signal will loop, setting up
the IRQ stack again because the tearing down had finished, and handling
whatever signals had come in.

However, to_irq_stack returns a mask of pending signals to be handled, plus
bit zero is set if the IRQ stack was already active, and thus shouldn't be
torn down.  This causes a problem because when handle_signal goes around
the loop, sig will be zero, and to_irq_stack will duly set bit zero in the
returned mask, faking handle_signal into believing that it shouldn't tear
down the IRQ stack and return thread_info pointers back to their original
values.

This will eventually cause a crash, as the IRQ stack thread_info will
continue pointing to the original task_struct and an interrupt will look
into it after it has been freed.

The fix is to stop passing a signal number into to_irq_stack.  Rather, the
pending signals mask is initialized beforehand with the bit for sig already
set.  References to sig in to_irq_stack can be replaced with references to
the mask.

<title>uml: use correct type in BLKGETSIZE ioctl</title>

I found a type mismatch in UML that makes host block devices unusable as ubd
devices on x86_64 and other 64 bits systems (segfault of the mm subsystem):

In block/ioctl.c, the following lines show that the BLKGETSIZE ioctl expects
a pointer to a long:

	case BLKGETSIZE:
		if ((bdev-&gt;bd_inode-&gt;i_size &gt;&gt; 9) &gt; ~0UL)
			return -EFBIG;
		return put_ulong(arg, bdev-&gt;bd_inode-&gt;i_size &gt;&gt; 9);

In arch/um/os-Linux/file.c, os_file_size calls it with an int.

The ioctl_list man page should be fixed as well.

Stop UML crashing when trying to dump a process core on x86_64.  This is the
minimal fix to stop the crash - more things are broken here, and patches are
forthcoming.

The immediate thing to do is define ELF_CORE_COPY_REGS and
ELF_CORE_COPY_FPREGS.  Defining ELF_CORE_COPY_FPREGS allows dump_fpu to go
away.  It is defined in terms of save_fp_registers, so that needs to be added.

The previous patch which limited the number of sectors in a single request
to a COWed device was correct in concept, but the limit was implemented in
the wrong place.

By putting it in ubd_add, it covered the cases where the COWing was
specified on the command line.  However, when the command line only has the
COW file specified, the fact that it's a COW file isn't known until it's
opened, so the limit is missed in these cases.

This patch moves the sector limit from ubd_add to ubd_open_dev.

Remove fs.h from mm.h. For this,
 1) Uninline vma_wants_writenotify(). It's pretty huge anyway.
 2) Add back fs.h or less bloated headers (err.h) to files that need it.

As result, on x86_64 allyesconfig, fs.h dependencies cut down from 3929 files
rebuilt down to 3444 (-12.3%).

Cross-compile tested without regressions on my two usual configs and (sigh):

<title>uml: more __init annotations</title>

2.6.23-rc1 turned up another batch of references from non-__init code to
__init code.  In most cases, these were missing __init annotations.  In one
case (os_drop_memory), the annotation was present but wrong.

init_maps is __init, but for some reason was being very careful about the
mechanism by which it allocated memory, checking whether it was OK to use
kmalloc (at this point in the boot, it definitely isn't) and using either
alloc_bootmem_low_pages or kmalloc/vmalloc.  So, the kmalloc/vmalloc code is
removed.

Restructure do_aio thanks to commments from Ulrich and Al.

Uli started this by seeing that UML's initialization of a struct iocb
initialized fields that it shouldn't.

Al followed up by adding the following cleanups:
	eliminating a variable by just using an anonymous structure in
its place.
	hoisting a duplicated line out of the switch.
	simplifying the error checking at the end.

I added a severity to the printk.
