Patch from Andrey:

this patch actually fixes jiffies usage for start_time (not 64 bit version)

Orig comment from Andrey:

ve->start_jiffies is set to ve->init_entry->start_time value on VPS start.
INITIAL_JIFFIES is used as start_jiffies for VE0.
ve->start_jiffies is used instead of ve->init_entry->start_time in
proc_pid_stat() and sys_times().
</div>

==== diff-4gb-prefetch ====
<div class="change">
Patch by Kirill (dev@), fixes Red Hat 4G split-related issue:

"Recently we hit PGF on prefetch() on i686 kernel running on AMD processor.
I found that this instruction can really generate "wrong" PGF on AMD
and that there is a workaround in do_page_fault() like:
<source lang="c">
if (is_prefetch(regs, address, error_code))
return;
</source>
The problem is however that __is_prefetch() uses __get_user() inside
and thus we should switch get_fs() in case of regs->xcs == KERNEL_CS."

Bug #64397.

</div>

==== diff-ext3-errorbehaviour-20060902 ====
<div class="change">
SWsoft Virtuozzo/OpenVZ Linux kernel team has discovered that ext3 error
behavior was broken in linux kernels since 2.5.x versions by the following
patch:

2002/10/31 02:15:26-05:00 tytso@snap.thunk.org<br/>
Default mount options from superblock for ext2/3 filesystems<br/>
[http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.6/gnupatch@3dc0d88eKbV9ivV4ptRNM8fBuA3JBQ http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.6/gnupatch@3dc0d88eKbV9ivV4ptRNM8fBuA3JBQ]

In case ext3 file system is mounted with errors=continue (EXT3_ERRORS_CONTINUE)
errors should be ignored when possible. However at present in case of any error
kernel aborts journal and remounts filesystem to read-only. Such behavior was
hit number of times and noted to differ from that of 2.4.x kernels.

This patch fixes this:
* do nothing in case of EXT3_ERRORS_CONTINUE,
* set EXT3_MOUNT_ABORT and call journal_abort() in all other cases
* panic() should be called after ext3_commit_super() to save sb marked as EXT3_ERROR_FS

==== diff-generic-aio-retval-20060904 ====
<div class="change">Patch from Vasily (vvs@),

fixes several DIO and iov related issues in generic_file_aio_write_nolock(),
based on inux-2.6.9-generic-aio-retval.patch from RHEL4u4 kernel 2.6.9-42

Bug #68103.
</div>

==== diff-jbd-unexpectdirty-20060905 ====
<div class="change">
Patch from linux mainstream, prepared by Vasily (vvs@),<br/>

[http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.6/gnupatch@431f7f0ceyo6g8tikQvG3I-cCSb7kw http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.6/gnupatch@431f7f0ceyo6g8tikQvG3I-cCSb7kw]

attached patch should fix the following race:
<source lang="c">
Proc 1 Proc 2

__flush_batch()
ll_rw_block()
do_get_write_access()
lock_buffer
jh is only waiting for checkpoint
-> b_transaction == NULL ->
do nothing
unlock_buffer
test_set_buffer_locked()
test_clear_buffer_dirty()
__journal_file_buffer()
change the data
submit_bh()
</source>

and we have sent wrong data to disk... We now clean the dirty buffer flag
under buffer lock in all cases and hence we know that whenever a buffer is
starting to be journaled we either finish the pending write-out before
attaching a buffer to a transaction or we won't write the buffer until the
transaction is going to be committed.

The test in jbd_unexpected_dirty_buffer() is redundant - remove it.
Furthermore we have to clear the buffer dirty bit under the buffer lock to
prevent races with buffer write-out (and hence prevent returning a buffer
with IO happening).
