Hello,
Many monitoring tools use /proc/kallsyms to build a symbol table for the kernel.
This technique has the advantage that it does not require root privileges, nor
an up-to-date /boot/System.map, nor a decompressed kernel in /boot.
The problem is that /proc/kallsyms does not report the size

This is the new timerfd API as it is implemented by the following patch:
int timerfd_create(int clockid);
int timerfd_settime(int ufd, int flags,
const struct itimerspec *utmr,
struct itimerspec *otmr);
int timerfd_gettime(int ufd, struct itimerspec *otmr);
Wires up the new timerfd API to the x86 family.

Please throw away what I send a moment ago, it was the wrong
patch.
This is on top of the ext2-reservations.patch in -mm.
The original r/o bind mount set didn't address the new
ext2 ioctl: EXT2_IOC_SETRSVSZ, because it doesn't exist
in mainline. This fixes that up for -mm.
