kbuild: use POSIX BRE in headers install target

The sed expression used at the moment in scripts/Makefile.headersinst
relies on the (handy) GNU extension where you can escape ERE's in an
otherwise BRE without using the GNU -r option.  The following patch
replaces this "\+" usage with a functionally equivalent POSIX BRE compliant
"\{1,\}".  Tested with `make headers_install` against blackfin/x86_64/i386
targets.

Stupid whiny OS X users and their crappy sed ;)

kbuild: do section mismatch check on full vmlinux

Previously we did do the check on the .o files used to link
vmlinux but that failed to find questionable references across
the .o files.
Create a dedicated vmlinux.o file used only for section mismatch checks
that uses the defualt linker script so section does not get renamed.

The vmlinux.o may later be used as part of the the final link of vmlinux
but for now it is used fo section mismatch only.

ext2: statfs speed up

This is a patch that speeds up statfs.  It is very simple - the "overhead"
calculation, which takes a huge amount of time for large filesystems, never
changes unless the size of the filesystem itself changes.  That means we can
store it in memory and only recalculate if the filesystem has been resized
(almost never).

It also fixes a minor problem that we never update the on-disk superblock free
blocks/inodes counts until the filesystem is unmounted.  While not fatal, we
may as well update that on disk when we have the information, and it makes
things like debugfs and dumpe2fs report a bit more accurate info.

vsprintf.c: optimizing, part 2: base 10 conversion speedup, v2

Optimize integer-to-string conversion in vsprintf.c for base 10.  This is
by far the most used conversion, and in some use cases it impacts
performance.  For example, top reads /proc/$PID/stat for every process, and
with 4000 processes decimal conversion alone takes noticeable time.

Using code from

http://www.cs.uiowa.edu/~jones/bcd/decimal.html
(with permission from the author, Douglas W. Jones)

binary-to-decimal-string conversion is done in groups of five digits at
once, using only additions/subtractions/shifts (with -O2; -Os throws in
some multiply instructions).

On i386 arch gcc 4.1.2 -O2 generates ~500 bytes of code.

This patch is run tested. Userspace benchmark/test is also attached.
I tested it on PIII and AMD64 and new code is generally ~2.5 times
faster. On AMD64:

# ./vsprintf_verify-O2
Original decimal conv: .......... 151 ns per iteration
Patched decimal conv:  .......... 62 ns per iteration
Testing correctness
12895992590592 ok...        [Ctrl-C]
# ./vsprintf_verify-O2
Original decimal conv: .......... 151 ns per iteration
Patched decimal conv:  .......... 62 ns per iteration
Testing correctness
26025406464 ok...        [Ctrl-C]

More realistic test: top from busybox project was modified to
report how many us it took to scan /proc (this does not account
any processing done after that, like sorting process list),
and then I test it with 4000 processes:

#!/bin/sh
i=4000
while test $i != 0; do
    sleep 30 &
    let i--
done
busybox top -b -n3 >/dev/null

on unpatched kernel:

top: 4120 processes took 102864 microseconds to scan
top: 4120 processes took 91757 microseconds to scan
top: 4120 processes took 92517 microseconds to scan
top: 4120 processes took 92581 microseconds to scan

on patched kernel:

top: 4120 processes took 75460 microseconds to scan
top: 4120 processes took 66451 microseconds to scan
top: 4120 processes took 67267 microseconds to scan
top: 4120 processes took 67618 microseconds to scan

The speedup comes from much faster generation of /proc/PID/stat
by sprintf() calls inside the kernel.

vsprintf.c: optimizing, part 1 (easy and obvious stuff)

* There is no point in having full "0...9a...z" constant vector,
  if we use only "0...9a...f" (and "x" for "0x").

* Post-decrement usually needs a few more instructions, so use
  pre decrement instead where makes sense:
-       while (i < precision--) {
+       while (i <= --precision) {

* if base != 10 (=> base 8 or 16), we can avoid using division
  in a loop and use mask/shift, obtaining much faster conversion.
  (More complex optimization for base 10 case is in the second patch).

Overall, size vsprintf.o shows ~80 bytes smaller text section
with this patch applied.

isapnp: remove pointless check of 'type' against 0 in isapnp_read_tag()

In drivers/pnp/isapnp/core.c::isapnp_read_tag() there is a test of 'type'
being == 0 a bit down in the function.  That test doesn't make any sense.
If 'type' could indeed be NULL, then the test happens way too late as we'd
already have tried to dereference the pointer earlier and looking at the
callers it also turns out that there is no way type can ever actually be
NULL.

So the test is completely pointless and should just be removed.

rename cancel_rearming_delayed_work() to cancel_delayed_work_sync()

Imho, the current naming of cancel_xxx workqueue functions is very confusing.

cancel_delayed_work()
cancel_rearming_delayed_work()
cancel_rearming_delayed_workqueue() // obsolete

cancel_work_sync()

This looks as if the first 2 functions differ in "type" of their argument
which is not true any longer, nowadays the difference is the behaviour.

The semantics of cancel_rearming_delayed_work(dwork) was changed
significantly, it doesn't require that dwork rearms itself, and cancels dwork
synchronously.

Rename it to cancel_delayed_work_sync().  This matches cancel_delayed_work()
and cancel_work_sync().  Re-create cancel_rearming_delayed_work() as a simple
inline obsolete wrapper, like cancel_rearming_delayed_workqueue().

generic bug: use show_regs() instead of dump_stack()

The current generic bug implementation has a call to dump_stack() in case a
WARN_ON(whatever) gets hit.  Since report_bug(), which calls dump_stack(),
gets called from an exception handler we can do better: just pass the
pt_regs structure to report_bug() and pass it to show_regs() in case of a
warning.  This will give more debug informations like register contents,
etc...  In addition this avoids some pointless lines that dump_stack()
emits, since it includes a stack backtrace of the exception handler which
is of no interest in case of a warning.  E.g.  on s390 the following lines
are currently always present in a stack backtrace if dump_stack() gets
called from report_bug():

HFS+: add custom dentry hash and comparison operations

Add custom dentry hash and comparison operations for HFS+ filesystems that are
case-insensitive and/or do automatic unicode decomposition.  The new
operations reuse the existing HFS+ ASCII to unicode conversion, unicode
decomposition and case folding functionality.

HFS+: refactor ASCII to unicode conversion routine for later reuse

The HFS+ filesystem is case-insensitive and does automatic unicode
decomposition by default, but does not provide custom dentry operations.  This
can lead to multiple dentries being cached for lookups on a filename with
varying case and/or character (de)composition.

These patches add custom dentry hash and comparison operations for
case-sensitive and/or automatically decomposing HFS+ filesystems.  Unicode
decomposition and case-folding are performed as required to ensure equivalent
filenames are hashed to the same values and compare as equal.

This patch:

Refactor existing HFS+ ASCII to unicode string conversion routine to split out
character conversion functionality.  This will be reused by the custom dentry
hash and comparison routines.  This approach avoids unnecessary memory
allocation compared to using the string conversion routine directly in the new
functions.

sys_time() speedup

Improve performance of sys_time().  sys_time() returns time in seconds, but
it does so by calling do_gettimeofday() and then returning the tv_sec
portion of the GTOD time.  But the data structure "xtime", which is updated
by every timer/scheduler tick, already offers HZ granularity time.

The patch improves the sysbench OLTP macrobenchmark significantly:

2.6.22-rc6:

#threads
   1:        transactions:                        3733   (373.21 per sec.)
   2:        transactions:                        6676   (667.46 per sec.)
   3:        transactions:                        6957   (695.50 per sec.)
   4:        transactions:                        7055   (705.48 per sec.)
   5:        transactions:                        6596   (659.33 per sec.)

2.6.22-rc6 + sys_time.patch:

   1:        transactions:                        4005   (400.47 per sec.)
   2:        transactions:                        7379   (737.77 per sec.)
   3:        transactions:                        7347   (734.49 per sec.)
   4:        transactions:                        7468   (746.65 per sec.)
   5:        transactions:                        7428   (742.47 per sec.)

Mixed API uses of gettimeofday() and time() are guaranteed to be coherent
via the use of a at-most-once-per-second slowpath that updates xtime.

namespace: ensure clone_flags are always stored in an unsigned long

While working on unshare support for the network namespace I noticed we
were putting clone flags in an int.  Which is weird because the syscall
uses unsigned long and we at least need an unsigned to properly hold all of
the unshare flags.

So to make the code consistent, this patch updates the code to use
unsigned long instead of int for the clone flags in those places
where we get it wrong today.
