This fixes kernel bugzilla #5731

It should generate an empty packet for datagram protocols when the
socket is connected, for one.

The check is doubly-wrong because all that a write() can be is a
sendmsg() call with a NULL msg_control and a single entry iovec.  No
special semantics should be assigned to it, therefore the zero length
check should be removed entirely.

This matches the behavior of BSD and several other systems.

Alan Cox notes that SuSv3 says the behavior of a zero length write on
non-files is "unspecified", but that's kind of useless since BSD has
defined this behavior for a quarter century and BSD is essentially
what application folks code to.

Based upon a patch from Stephen Hemminger.

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/hpa/linux-2.6-x86setup:
  [x86 setup] Handle case of improperly terminated E820 chain

This reverts commit e66485d7, since
Rafael Wysocki noticed that the change only works for his in -mm, not in
mainline (and that both "noapictimer" _and_ "apicmaintimer" are broken
on his hardware, but that's apparently not a regression, just a symptom
of the same issue that causes the automatic apic timer disable to not
work).

It turns out that it really doesn't work correctly on x86-64, since
x86-64 doesn't use the generic clock events for timers yet.

Thanks to Rafal for testing, and here's the ugly details on x86-64 as
per Thomas:

  "I just looked into the code and the logic vs.  noapictimer on SMP is
   completely broken.

   On i386 the noapictimer option not only disables the local APIC
   timer, it also registers the CPUs for broadcasting via IPI on SMP
   systems.

   The x86-64 code uses the broadcast only when the local apic timer is
   active, i.e.  "noapictimer" is not on the command line.  This defeats
   the whole purpose of "noapictimer".  It should be there to make boxen
   work, where the local APIC timer actually has a hardware problem,
   e.g.  the nx6325.

   The current implementation of x86_64 only fixes the ACPI c-states
   related problem where the APIC timer stops in C3(2), nothing else.

   On nx6325 and other AMD X2 equipped systems which have the C1E
   enabled we run into the following:

   PIT keeps jiffies (and the system) running, but the local APIC timer
   interrupts can get out of sync due to this C1E effect.

   I don't think this is a critical problem, but it is wrong
   nevertheless.

   I think it's safe to revert the C1E patch and postpone the fix to the
   clock events conversion."

On further reflection, Thomas noted:

   "It's even worse than I thought on the first check:

    "noapictimer" on the command line of an SMP box prevents _ONLY_ the
    boot CPU apic timer from being used.  But the secondary CPU is still
    unconditionally setting up the APIC timer and uses the non
    calibrated variable calibration_result, which is of course 0, to
    setup the APIC timer.  Wreckage guaranteed."

so we'll just have to wait for the x86 merge to hopefully fix this up
for x86-64.

At least one system (a Geode system with a Digital Logic BIOS) has
been found which suddenly stops reporting the SMAP signature when
reading the E820 memory chain.  We can't know what, exactly, broke in
the BIOS, so if we detect this situation, declare the E820 data
unusable and fall back to E801.

Also, revert to original behavior of always probing all memory
methods; that way all the memory information is available to the
kernel.

commit 3556ddfa titled

 [PATCH] x86-64: Disable local APIC timer use on AMD systems with C1E

solves a problem with AMD dual core laptops e.g. HP nx6325 (Turion 64
X2) with C1E enabled:

When both cores go into idle at the same time, then the system switches
into C1E state, which is basically the same as C3. This stops the local
apic timer.

This was debugged right after the dyntick merge on i386 and despite the
patch title it fixes only the 32 bit path.

x86_64 is still missing this fix. It seems that mainline is not really
affected by this issue, as the PIT is running and keeps jiffies
incrementing, but that's just waiting for trouble.

-mm suffers from this problem due to the x86_64 high resolution timer
patches.

This is a quick and dirty port of the i386 code to x86_64.

I spent quite a time with Rafael to debug the -mm / hrt wreckage until
someone pointed us to this. I really had forgotten that we debugged this
half a year ago already.

Sigh, is it just me or is there something yelling arch/x86 into my ear?

The problem is that the garbage collector for the 'host' structures
nlm_gc_hosts(), holds nlm_host_mutex while calling down to
nlmsvc_mark_resources, which, eventually takes the file->f_mutex.

We cannot therefore call nlmsvc_lookup_host() from within
nlmsvc_create_block, since the caller will already hold file->f_mutex, so
the attempt to grab nlm_host_mutex may deadlock.

Fix the problem by calling nlmsvc_lookup_host() outside the file->f_mutex.

As Stephen Hemminger says, this is a "belt and suspenders" patch that
zeroes the envp array at allocation time, even though all the users
should NULL-terminate it anyway (and we've hopefully fixed everybody
that doesn't do that).

And we'll apparently clean the whole envp thing up for 2.6.24 anyway.

But let's just be robust, and do both this *and* make sure that all
users are doing the right thing.

RFC 4460 and future RFC 4960 (2960-bis) specify that packets
with bundled INIT chunks need to be dropped.  We currenlty do
that only after processing any leading chunks.  For OOTB chunks,
since we already walk the entire packet, we should discard packets
with bundled INITs.

There are other chunks chunks that MUST NOT be bundled, but the spec
is silent on theire treatment.  Thus, we'll leave their teatment
alone for the moment.

When PCIX_IRQ_WOC is used, sil24 has an inherent race condition
between clearing IRQ pending and reading IRQ status.  If IRQ pending
is cleared after reading IRQ status, there's possibility of lost IRQ.
If IRQ pending is cleared before reading IRQ status, spurious IRQs
will occur.

sata_sil24 till now cleared IRQ pending after reading IRQ status thus
losing IRQs on machines where PCIX_IRQ_WOC was used.  Reverse the
order and ignore spurious IRQs if PCIX_IRQ_WOC.
