If a machine is flooded by network frames, a cpu can loop
100% of its time inside ksoftirqd() without calling schedule().
This can delay RCU grace period to insane values.
Adding rcu_qsctr_inc() call in ksoftirqd() solves this problem.
Paul: "This regression was a result of the recent change from
"schedule()" to "cond_resched()", which got rid of that quiescent
state in the common case where a reschedule is not needed".

Impact: fix math-emu related crash while using GDB/ptrace
init_fpu() calls finit to initialize a task's xstate, while finit always
works on the current task. If we use PTRACE_GETFPREGS on another
process and both processes did not already use floating point, we get
a null pointer exception in finit.
This patch creates a new function finit_task that takes a task_struct
parameter. finit becomes a wrapper that simply calls finit_task with
current. On the plus side this avoids many calls to get_current which
would each resolve to an inline assembler mov instruction.
An empty finit_task has been added to i387.h to avoid linker errors in
case the compiler still emits the call in init_fpu when
CONFIG_MATH_EMULATION is not defined.
The declaration of finit in i387.h has been removed as the remaining
code using this function gets its prototype from fpu_proto.h.

Impact: reactivate DMI quirks on EFI hardware
DMI tables are loaded by EFI, so the dmi calls must happen after
efi_init() and not before.
Currently Apple hardware uses DMI to determine the framebuffer mappings
for efifb. Without DMI working you also have no video on MacBook Pro.
This patch resolves the DMI issue for EFI hardware (DMI is now properly
detected at boot), and additionally efifb now loads on Apple hardware
(i.e. video works).

Beacuse of this, no tokenring driver can load if it depends on modular

With this fix, tr module loads fine and tms380 driver also loads. Well,

The callers of netlink_set_err() currently pass a negative value
as parameter for the error code. However, sk->sk_err wants a
positive error value. Without this patch, skb_recv_datagram() called
by netlink_recvmsg() may return a positive value to report an error.
Another choice to fix this is to change callers to pass a positive
error value, but this seems a bit inconsistent and error prone
to me. Indeed, the callers of netlink_set_err() assumed that the
(usual) negative value for error codes was fine before this patch :).
This patch also includes some documentation in docbook format
for netlink_set_err() to avoid this sort of confusion.

It turns out that net_alive is unnecessary, and the original problem
that led to it being added was simply that the icmp code thought
it was a network device and wound up being unable to handle packets
while there were still packets in the network namespace.
Now that icmp and tcp have been fixed to properly register themselves
this problem is no longer present and we have a stronger guarantee
that packets will not arrive in a network namespace then that provided
by net_alive in netif_receive_skb. So remove net_alive allowing
packet reception run a little faster.
Additionally document the strong reason why network namespace cleanup
is safe so that if something happens again someone else will have
a chance of figuring it out.

Recently I had a kernel panic in icmp_send during a network namespace
cleanup. There were packets in the arp queue that failed to be sent
and we attempted to generate an ICMP host unreachable message, but
failed because icmp_sk_exit had already been called.
The network devices are removed from a network namespace and their
arp queues are flushed before we do attempt to shutdown subsystems
so this error should have been impossible.
It turns out icmp_init is using register_pernet_device instead
of register_pernet_subsys. Which resulted in icmp being shut down
while we still had the possibility of packets in flight, making
a nasty NULL pointer deference in interrupt context possible.
Changing this to register_pernet_subsys fixes the problem in
my testing.

When a network namespace is destroyed the network interfaces are
all unregistered, making addrconf_ifdown called by the netdevice
notifier.
In the other hand, the addrconf exit method does a loop on the network
devices and does addrconf_ifdown on each of them. But the ordering of
the netns subsystem is not right because it uses the register_pernet_device
instead of register_pernet_subsys. If we handle the loopback as
any network device, we can safely use register_pernet_subsys.
But if we use register_pernet_subsys, the addrconf exit method will do
exactly what was already done with the unregistering of the network
devices. So in definitive, this code is pointless.
I removed the netns addrconf exit method and moved the code to the
addrconf cleanup function.
