  [PATCH] fix __ptrace_unlink TASK_TRACED recovery for real parent
  
  The __ptrace_unlink code that checks for TASK_TRACED fixed the problem of a
  thread being left in TASK_TRACED when no longer being ptraced. 
  
  However, an oversight in the original fix made it fail to handle the
  case where the child is ptraced by its real parent.
  
  Fixed thus.

  [ARM PATCH] 2366/1: PXA: Add machine type detection for the Sharp SL-C7xx series
  
  Patch from Richard Purdie
  
  The Sharp SL-C7xx series of PDAs (Corgi, Shepherd, Husky) don't set
  the machine type upon startup. Fixing this isn't possible as the
  devices have been produced and the bootloaders are in ROM. 
  
  This header code detects the differences between them and sets the
  machine type accordingly. By doing this one kernel can support the
  series of PXA25x machines.
  
  The code also detects Poodle (Sharp SL-5600) which is also a PXA25x
  device allowing a common kernel to support that device as well. (The
  base machine code is under development for this device).

  [ARM PATCH] 2373/1: S3C2410 -  fix possible loop in irq macro
  
  Patch from Ben Dooks
  
  If we read the INTPEND register and get the wrong
  result (details below) then it looks like a possible
  loop to go back and re-read it after calculating
  the possible correct value for it.
  
  It seems that the INTPEND register, which should
  show the unique number of the interrupt that we
  need to handle. However, it seems that this register
  can show the wrong interrupt under certain conditions.
  
  Shannon's research shows that it is very possible that
  the occurence of an external interrupt can end up
  merging with the base interrupt number, causing
  the wrong result in the register.
  
  This patch also fixes the end position of the #ifdef
  block and ensures as many registers as possible are
  stacked before calling printk() for debug.
  
  Original patch for 2.6.9 by Shannon Holland re-written
  for 2.6.10 by Ben Dooks.

  The grows-up and grows-down cases had all the same issues, but

  [PATCH] remove IN_STRING_C
  
  IN_STRING_C was an i386-specific hack by Andi Kleen to provide out-of-line
  versions of some lib/string.c functions that aren't directly used on i386
  (because there are inline assembly versions).
  
  This can cause problems if gcc chooses to transparently replace a call to one
  string function with a call to another string function (the example Andi gave
  was a replacement of a sprintf call with a strcpy call) which generates a
  function call to the replacement function.
  
  The problems observed by Andi only occur in recent kernels without
  -fno-unit-at-a-time.
  
  With -ffreestanding it can't even cause any problems in case we'd one day drop
  the -fno-unit-at-a-time since gcc mustn't assume in a freestanding environment
  that all standard C library functions are available.
  
  The effect of this patch is a small space saving in the kernel.

  Under fs/lockd/, there are two structs declared extern although they are in

  Most of the changes to svc.c are only indent fixes caused by making the

  [PATCH] ext3: use generic_open_file to fix possible preemption bugs
  
  Ext3 is currently using a duplicate version of generic_open_file, and this
  should be fixed, before it gets out of sync.
  
  In fact, it *has* got out of sync.
  
  Apart some cosmetic changes (which are not a problem), note that it
  directly reads inode->i_size, while the generic version uses i_size_read().
  
  I'm not sure if this bug can actually be triggered, but here follows a
  possible scenario: when
  
  - a file is brought into inode cache
  - that file is either truncated or extended (i.e.  inode->i_size is changed)
    and after this it changes it's "more than 2Gb" property,
  - and process B opens that file in the meanwhile,
  
  I suppose the size check can be hurted by a race condition, doesn't it?
  
  Similar checks should probably be done for other FS's. Also, ext2 does not
  have this problem - someone fixed this problem in ext2 but not ext3? How?

  Some updating and removal of dead links in the text file.
  
  The 5.5 package is not carried on the sunsite.unc.edu or tsx-11.mit.edu FTP
  servers, and the support@stallion.com address bounces.

  [PATCH] moxa: Update status of Moxa Smartio driver
  
  After contacting Moxa, I found out that they no longer maintain the
  in-kernel driver, and instead maintain an updated driver as an external
  patch.
  
  This patch updates the documentation to reflect this.

  [PATCH] Lock initializer cleanup (common headers)
  
  First part of the patch series. Define initializer macros
  
  Often used structures in the kernel are almost all declared and
  initialized by macros in the form:
  
  DEFINE_TYPE(name)
  
  Spinlocks and rwlocks are declared and initialized by:
  type name = INITIALIZER;
  
  After converting the runtime initialization of spinlocks/rwlocks to
  macro form it is consequent to change the declaration and initializion
  of global and static locks to the macro form too. This conversion
  identifies those variables as "special", common code controlled
  entities similar to list_heads, mutexes... Besides consistency and code
  clearness this also helps automatic lock validators and debugging code.
  
  The patch converts
  -rwlock_t snd_card_rwlock = RW_LOCK_UNLOCKED;
  +DEFINE_RWLOCK(snd_card_rwlock);
  and
  -static spinlock_t slave_active_lock = SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED;
  +static DEFINE_SPINLOCK(slave_active_lock);
  
  There is no runtime overhead or actual code change resulting out of this
  patch, other than a small reduction in the kernel source code size.
  
  The conversion was done with a script, it was verified manually and it
  was reviewed, compiled and tested as far as possible on x86, ARM, PPC.

  [PATCH] Lock initializer unifying: sound
  
  To make spinlock/rwlock initialization consistent all over the kernel,
  this patch converts explicit lock-initializers into spin_lock_init() and
  rwlock_init() calls.
  
  Currently, spinlocks and rwlocks are initialized in two different ways:
  
    lock = SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED
    spin_lock_init(&lock)
  
    rwlock = RW_LOCK_UNLOCKED
    rwlock_init(&rwlock)
  
  this patch converts all explicit lock initializations to
  spin_lock_init() or rwlock_init(). (Besides consistency this also helps
  automatic lock validators and debugging code.)
  
  The conversion was done with a script, it was verified manually and it
  was reviewed, compiled and tested as far as possible on x86, ARM, PPC.
  
  There is no runtime overhead or actual code change resulting out of this
  patch, because spin_lock_init() and rwlock_init() are macros and are
  thus equivalent to the explicit initialization method.
  
  That's the second batch of the unifying patches.

  [PATCH] Lock initializer unifying: IA64
  
  To make spinlock/rwlock initialization consistent all over the kernel,
  this patch converts explicit lock-initializers into spin_lock_init() and
  rwlock_init() calls.
  
  Currently, spinlocks and rwlocks are initialized in two different ways:
  
    lock = SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED
    spin_lock_init(&lock)
  
    rwlock = RW_LOCK_UNLOCKED
    rwlock_init(&rwlock)
  
  this patch converts all explicit lock initializations to
  spin_lock_init() or rwlock_init(). (Besides consistency this also helps
  automatic lock validators and debugging code.)

  [PATCH] invalidate_inode_pages2() mmap coherency fix
  
  - When invalidating pages, take care to shoot down any ptes which map them
    as well.
  
    This ensures that the next mmap access to the page will generate a major
    fault, so NFS's server-side modifications are picked up.
  
    This also allows us to call invalidate_complete_page() on all pages, so
    filesytems such as ext3 get a chance to invalidate the buffer_heads.
  
  - Don't mark in-pagetable pages as non-uptodate any more.  That broke a
    previous guarantee that mapped-into-user-process pages are always uptodate.
  
  - Check the return value of invalidate_complete_page().  It can fail if
    someone redirties a page after generic_file_direct_IO() write it back.
  
  But we still have a problem.  If invalidate_inode_pages2() calls
  unmap_mapping_range(), that can cause zap_pte_range() to dirty the pagecache
  pages.  That will redirty the page's buffers and will cause
  invalidate_complete_page() to fail.
  
  So, in generic_file_direct_IO() we do a complete pte shootdown on the file
  up-front, prior to writing back dirty pagecache.  This is only done for
  O_DIRECT writes.  It _could_ be done for O_DIRECT reads too, providing full
  mmap-vs-direct-IO coherency for both O_DIRECT reads and O_DIRECT writes, but
  permitting the pte shootdown on O_DIRECT reads trivially allows people to nuke
  other people's mapped pagecache.
  
  NFS also uses invalidate_inode_pages2() for handling server-side modification
  notifications.  But in the NFS case the clear_page_dirty() in
  invalidate_inode_pages2() is sufficient, because NFS doesn't have to worry
  about the "dirty buffers against a clean page" problem. (I think)

  [PATCH] readpage-vs-invalidate fix
  
  A while ago we merged a patch which tried to solve a problem wherein a
  concurrent read() and invalidate_inode_pages() would cause the read() to
  return -EIO because invalidate cleared PageUptodate() at the wrong time.
  
  That patch tests for (page_count(page) != 2) in invalidate_complete_page() and
  bales out if false.
  
  Problem is, the page may be in the per-cpu LRU front-ends over in
  lru_cache_add.  This elevates the refcount pending spillage of the page onto
  the LRU for real.  That causes a false positive in invalidate_complete_page(),
  causing the page to not get invalidated.  This screws up the logic in my new
  O_DIRECT-vs-buffered coherency fix.
  
  So let's solve the invalidate-vs-read in a different manner.  Over on the
  read() side, add an explicit check to see if the page was invalidated.  If so,
  just drop it on the floor and redo the read from scratch.
  
  Note that only do_generic_mapping_read() needs treatment.  filemap_nopage(),
  filemap_getpage() and read_cache_page() are already doing the
  oh-it-was-invalidated-so-try-again thing.

  [PATCH] no buddy bitmap patch revisit: for mm/page_alloc.c
  
  This patch removes bitmaps from page allocator in mm/page_alloc.c.
  
  This buddy system uses page->private field to record free page's order
  instead of using bitmaps.
  
  The algorithm of the buddy system is unchanged. Only bitmaps are removed.
  
  In this buddy system, 2 pages,a page and "buddy", can be coalesced when
  
  (buddy->private & PG_private) &&
  (page_order(page)) == (page_order(buddy)) &&
  !PageReserved(buddy) &&
  page_count(buddy) == 0
  
  this also means "buddy" is a head of continuous free pages
  of length of (1 << page_order(buddy)).
  
  bad_range() is called from inner loop of __free_pages_bulk().
  In many archs, bad_range() is only a sanity check, it will always return 0.
  But if a zone's memmap has a hole, it sometimes returns 1.
  An architecture with memory holes in a zone has to define CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE.
  When CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE is defined, pfn_valid() is called for checking
  whether a buddy pages is valid or not.

  [PATCH] remove the BKL by turning it into a semaphore
  
  This is the current remove-BKL patch.  I test-booted it on x86 and x64, trying
  every conceivable combination of SMP, PREEMPT and PREEMPT_BKL.  All other
  architectures should compile as well.  (most of the testing was done with the
  zaphod patch undone but it applies cleanly on vanilla -mm3 as well and should
  work fine.)
  
  this is the debugging-enabled variant of the patch which has two main
  debugging features:
  
   - debug potentially illegal smp_processor_id() use. Has caught a number
     of real bugs - e.g. look at the printk.c fix in the patch.
  
   - make it possible to enable/disable the BKL via a .config. If this 
     goes upstream we dont want this of course, but for now it gives
     people a chance to find out whether any particular problem was caused
     by this patch.
  
  This patch has one important fix over the previous BKL patch: on PREEMPT
  kernels if we preempted BKL-using code then the code still auto-dropped the
  BKL by mistake.  This caused a number of breakages for testers, which
  breakages went away once this bug was fixed.
  
  Also the debugging mechanism has been improved alot relative to the previous
  BKL patch.
  
  Would be nice to test-drive this in -mm.  There will likely be some more
  smp_processor_id() false positives but they are 1) harmless 2) easy to fix up.
  We could as well find more real smp_processor_id() related breakages as well.
  
  The most noteworthy fact is that no BKL-using code was found yet that relied
  on smp_processor_id(), which is promising from a compatibility POV.

  [PATCH] vmtrunc: restart_addr in truncate_count
  
  Despite its restart_pgoff pretentions, unmap_mapping_range_vma was fatally
  unable to distinguish a vma to be restarted from the case where that vma
  has been freed, and its vm_area_struct reused for the top part of a
  !new_below split of an isomorphic vma yet to be scanned.
  
  The obvious answer is to note restart_vma in the struct address_space, and
  cancel it when that vma is freed; but I'm reluctant to enlarge every struct
  inode just for this.  Another answer is to flag valid restart in the
  vm_area_struct; but vm_flags is protected by down_write of mmap_sem, which
  we cannot take within down_write of i_sem.  If we're going to need yet
  another field, better to record the restart_addr itself: restart_vma only
  recorded the last restart, but a busy tree could well use more.
  
  Actually, we don't need another field: we can neatly (though naughtily)
  keep restart_addr in vm_truncate_count, provided mapping->truncate_count
  leaps over those values which look like a page-aligned address.  Zero
  remains good for forcing a scan (though now interpreted as restart_addr 0),
  and it turns out no change is needed to any of the vm_truncate_count
  settings in dup_mmap, vma_link, vma_adjust, move_one_page.

  [PATCH] vmtrunc: vm_truncate_count race caution
  
  Fix some unlikely races in respect of vm_truncate_count.
  
  Firstly, it's supposed to be guarded by i_mmap_lock, but some places copy a
  vma structure by *new_vma = *old_vma: if the compiler implements that with a
  bytewise copy, new_vma->vm_truncate_count could be munged, and new_vma later
  appear up-to-date when it's not; so set it properly once under lock.
  
  vma_link set vm_truncate_count to mapping->truncate_count when adding an empty
  vma: if new vmas are being added profusely while vmtruncate is in progess,
  this lets them be skipped without scanning.
  
  vma_adjust has vm_truncate_count problem much like it had with anon_vma under
  mprotect merge: when merging be careful not to leave vma marked as up-to-date
  when it might not be, lest unmap_mapping_range in progress - set
  vm_truncate_count 0 when in doubt.  Similarly when mremap moving ptes from one
  vma to another.
  
  Cut a little code from __anon_vma_merge: now vma_adjust sets "importer" in the
  remove_next case (to get its vm_truncate_count right), its anon_vma is already
  linked by the time __anon_vma_merge is called.

  [PATCH] vmtrunc: unmap_mapping dropping i_mmap_lock
  
  vmtruncate (or more generally, unmap_mapping_range) has been observed
  responsible for very high latencies: the lockbreak work in unmap_vmas is good
  for munmap or exit_mmap, but no use while mapping->i_mmap_lock is held, to
  keep our place in the prio_tree (or list) of a file's vmas.
  
  Extend the zap_details block with i_mmap_lock pointer, so unmap_vmas can
  detect if that needs lockbreak, and break_addr so it can notify where it left
  off.
  
  Add unmap_mapping_range_vma, used from both prio_tree and nonlinear list
  handlers.  This is what now calls zap_page_range (above unmap_vmas), but
  handles the lockbreak and restart issues: letting unmap_mapping_range_ tree or
  list know when they need to start over because lock was dropped.
  
  When restarting, of course there's a danger of never making progress.  Add
  vm_truncate_count field to vm_area_struct, update that to mapping->
  truncate_count once fully scanned, skip up-to-date vmas without a scan (and
  without dropping i_mmap_lock).
  
  Further danger of never making progress if a vma is very large: when breaking
  out, save restart_vma and restart_addr (and restart_pgoff to confirm, in case
  vma gets reused), to help continue where we left off.

  [PATCH] vmtrunc: restore unmap_vmas zap_bytes
  
  The low-latency unmap_vmas patch silently moved the zap_bytes test after the

  redundant (might as well use ZAP_BLOCK_SIZE), it makes the unmap_vmas level
  redundant too - it's all about saving TLB flushes when unmapping a series of
  small vmas.
  
  Move zap_bytes test back before the lockbreak, and delete the curious comment
  that a small zap block size doesn't matter: it's true need_flush prevents TLB
  flush when no page has been unmapped, but unmapping pages in small blocks
  involves many more TLB flushes than in large blocks.

  [PATCH] debug sched domains before attach
  
  Change the sched-domain debug routine to be called on a per-CPU basis, and
  executed before the domain is actually attached to the CPU.  Previously, all
  CPUs would have their new domains attached, and then the debug routine would
  loop over all of them.
  
  This has two advantages: First, there is no longer any theoretical races: we
  are running the debug routine on a domain that isn't yet active, and should
  have no racing access from another CPU.  Second, if there is a problem with a
  domain, the validator will have a better chance to catch the error and print a
  diagnostic _before_ the domain is attached, which may take down the system.
  
  Also, change reporting of detected error conditions to KERN_ERR instead of
  KERN_DEBUG, so they have a better chance of being seen in a hang on boot
  situation.
  
  The patch also does an unrelated (and harmless) cleanup in migration_thread().

  [PATCH] Fix smp_processor_id() warning in numa_node_id()
  
  The patch below fixes smp_processor_id() warnings that are triggered by

  All uses of numa_node_id() in mm/mempolicy.c seem to use it as a 'hint'
  only, not as a correctness number.  Once a node is established, it's used
  in a preemption-safe way.  So the simple fix is to disable the checking for

  [PATCH] idle thread preemption fix
  
  The early bootup stage is pretty fragile because the idle thread is not yet
  functioning as such and so we need preemption disabled.  Whether the bootup
  fails or not seems to depend on timing details so e.g.  the presence of
  SCHED_SMT makes it go away.
  
  Disabling preemption explicitly has another advantage: the atomicity check
  in schedule() will catch early-bootup schedule() calls from now on.
  
  The patch also fixes another preempt-bkl buglet: interrupt-driven
  forced-preemption didnt go through preempt_schedule() so it resulted in
  auto-dropping of the BKL.  Now we go through preempt_schedule() which
  properly deals with the BKL.

  [PATCH] sched: net: fix scheduling latencies in netstat
  
  The attached patch fixes long scheduling latencies caused by access to the

  very long time (i've seen reports of 20+ msecs, if there are enough sockets
  in the system).  With the attached patch it's below 100 usecs.
  
  The cond_resched_softirq() relies on the implicit knowledge that this code
  executes in process context and runs with softirqs disabled.
  
  Potentially enabling softirqs means that the socket list might change
  between buckets - but this is not an issue since seqfiles have a 4K
  iteration granularity anyway and /proc/net/tcp is often (much) larger than
  that.

  [PATCH] preempt cleanup
  
  This is another generic fallout from the voluntary-preempt patchset: a
  cleanup of the cond_resched() infrastructure, in preparation of the latency
  reduction patches.  The changes:
  
   - uninline cond_resched() - this makes the footprint smaller,
     especially once the number of cond_resched() points increase.
  
   - add a 'was rescheduled' return value to cond_resched. This makes it
     symmetric to cond_resched_lock() and later latency reduction patches
     rely on the ability to tell whether there was any preemption.
  
   - make cond_resched() more robust by using the same mechanism as
     preempt_kernel(): by using PREEMPT_ACTIVE. This preserves the task's
     state - e.g. if the task is in TASK_ZOMBIE but gets preempted via
     cond_resched() just prior scheduling off then this approach preserves
     TASK_ZOMBIE.
  
   - the patch also adds need_lockbreak() which critical sections can use 
     to detect lock-break requests.

  [PATCH] improve preemption on SMP
  
  SMP locking latencies are one of the last architectural problems that cause
  millisec-category scheduling delays.  CONFIG_PREEMPT tries to solve some of
  the SMP issues but there are still lots of problems remaining: spinlocks
  nested at multiple levels, spinning with irqs turned off, and non-nested
  spinning with preemption turned off permanently.
  
  The nesting problem goes like this: if a piece of kernel code (e.g.  the MM
  or ext3's journalling code) does the following:
  
  	spin_lock(&spinlock_1);
  	...
  	spin_lock(&spinlock_2);
  	...
  
  then even with CONFIG_PREEMPT enabled, current kernels may spin on
  spinlock_2 indefinitely.  A number of critical sections break their long
  paths by using cond_resched_lock(), but this does not break the path on
  SMP, because need_resched() *of the other CPU* is not set so
  cond_resched_lock() doesnt notice that a reschedule is due.
  
  to solve this problem i've introduced a new spinlock field,
  lock->break_lock, which signals towards the holding CPU that a
  spinlock-break is requested by another CPU.  This field is only set if a
  CPU is spinning in a spinlock function [at any locking depth], so the
  default overhead is zero.  I've extended cond_resched_lock() to check for
  this flag - in this case we can also save a reschedule.  I've added the
  lock_need_resched(lock) and need_lockbreak(lock) methods to check for the
  need to break out of a critical section.
  
  Another latency problem was that the stock kernel, even with CONFIG_PREEMPT
  enabled, didnt have any spin-nicely preemption logic for the following,
  commonly used SMP locking primitives: read_lock(), spin_lock_irqsave(),
  spin_lock_irq(), spin_lock_bh(), read_lock_irqsave(), read_lock_irq(),
  read_lock_bh(), write_lock_irqsave(), write_lock_irq(), write_lock_bh().
  Only spin_lock() and write_lock() [the two simplest cases] where covered.
  
  In addition to the preemption latency problems, the _irq() variants in the
  above list didnt do any IRQ-enabling while spinning - possibly resulting in
  excessive irqs-off sections of code!
  
  preempt-smp.patch fixes all these latency problems by spinning irq-nicely
  (if possible) and by requesting lock-breaks if needed.  Two
  architecture-level changes were necessary for this: the addition of the
  break_lock field to spinlock_t and rwlock_t, and the addition of the
  _raw_read_trylock() function.
  
  Testing done by Mark H Johnson and myself indicate SMP latencies comparable
  to the UP kernel - while they were basically indefinitely high without this
  patch.
  
  i successfully test-compiled and test-booted this patch ontop of BK-curr
  using the following .config combinations: SMP && PREEMPT, !SMP && PREEMPT,
  SMP && !PREEMPT and !SMP && !PREEMPT on x86, !SMP && !PREEMPT and SMP &&
  PREEMPT on x64.  I also test-booted x86 with the generic_read_trylock
  function to check that it works fine.  Essentially the same patch has been
  in testing as part of the voluntary-preempt patches for some time already.
  
  NOTE to architecture maintainers: generic_raw_read_trylock() is a crude
  version that should be replaced with the proper arch-optimized version
  ASAP.
  
  From: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com>

  [PATCH] sched: remove_interactive_credit
  
  Special casing tasks by interactive credit was helpful for preventing fully
  cpu bound tasks from easily rising to interactive status.
  
  However it did not select out tasks that had periods of being fully cpu
  bound and then sleeping while waiting on pipes, signals etc.  This led to a
  more disproportionate share of cpu time.
  
  Backing this out will no longer special case only fully cpu bound tasks,
  and prevents the variable behaviour that occurs at startup before tasks
  declare themseleves interactive or not, and speeds up application startup
  slightly under certain circumstances.  It does cost in interactivity
  slightly as load rises but it is worth it for the fairness gains.

  [PATCH] sched: active_load_balance() fixlet
  
  There is a small problem with the active_load_balance() patch that Darren
  sent out last week.  As soon as we discover a potential 'target_cpu' from
  'cpu_group' to try to push tasks to, we cease considering other CPUs in
  that group as potential 'target_cpu's.  We break out of the
  for_each_cpu_mask() loop and try to push tasks to that CPU.  The problem is
  that there may well be other idle cpus in that group that we should also
  try to push tasks to.  Here is a patch to fix that small problem.  The
  solution is to simply move the code that tries to push the tasks into the
  for_each_cpu_mask() loop and do away with the whole 'target_cpu' thing
  entirely.  Compiled & booted on a 16-way x440.

  [PATCH] sched: more agressive wake_idle()
  
  This patch addresses some problems with wake_idle().  Currently wake_idle()
  will wake a task on an alternate cpu if:
  
  1) task->cpu is not idle
  2) an idle cpu can be found
  
  However the span of cpus to look for is very limited (only the task->cpu's
  sibling).  The scheduler should find the closest idle cpu, starting with
  the lowest level domain, then going to higher level domains if allowed
  (doamin has flag SD_WAKE_IDLE).  This patch does this.
  
  This and the other two patches (also to be submitted) combined have
  provided as much at 5% improvement on that "online transaction DB workload"
  and 2% on the industry standard J@EE workload.
  
  I asked Martin Bligh to test these for regression, and he did not find any.
   I would like to submit for inclusion to -mm and barring any problems
  eventually to mainline.

  [PATCH] initramfs: unprivileged image creation
  
  This patch makes several tweaks so that an initramfs image can be
  completely created by an unprivileged user.  It should maintain
  compatibility with previous initramfs early userspace cpio/image creation
  and it updates documentation.
  
  There are a few very important tweaks:
  
  CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE is now either a single cpio archive that is
  directly used or a list of directories and files for building a cpio
  archive for the initramfs image.  Making the cpio archive listable in
  CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE makes the cpio step more official and automated so
  that it doesn't have to be copied by hand to usr/initramfs_data.cpio (I
  think this was broken anyway and would be overwritten).  The alternative
  list of directories *and* files means that files can be install in a "root"
  directory and device-special files can be listed in a file list.
  
  CONFIG_ROOT_UID and CONFIG_ROOT_GID are now available for doing simple
  user/group ID translation.  That means that user ID 500, group ID 500 can
  create all the files in the "root" directory, but that they can all be
  owned by user ID 0, group ID 0 in the cpio image.
  
  Various documentation updates to pull it all together.
  
  Removal of old cruft that was unused/misleading.

  [PATCH] ext3 htree telldir() fix
  
  telldir() is broken on large ext3 dir_index'd directories because
  getdents() gives d_off==0 for the first entry
  
  Here's a patch which fixes the problem, but note the following warning
  from the readdir man page:
  
         According to POSIX, the dirent structure contains a field char d_name[]
         of  unspecified  size,  with  at most NAME_MAX characters preceding the
         terminating null character.  Use of other fields will harm  the  porta-
         bility  of  your  programs.
  
  Also, as always, telldir() and seekdir() are truly awful interfaces
  because they implicitly assume that (a) a directory is a linear data
  structure, and (b) that the position in a directory can be expressed
  in a cookie which hsa only 31 bits on 32-bit systems. 
  
  So there will be hash colliions that will cause programs that assume
  that seekdir(dirent->d_off) will always return the next directory
  entry to sometimes lose directory entries in the
  not-as-unlikely-as-we-would wish case of a 31-bit hash collision.
  Really, any program which is using telldir/seekdir really should be
  rewritten to not use these interfaces if at all possible.  So with
  these caveats....
  
  
  What we need to do is wire '.' and '..' to have hash values of (0,0) and
  (2,0), respectively, without ignoring other existing dirents with colliding
  hashes.  (In those cases the programs will break, but they are statistically
  rare, and there's not much we can do in those cases anyway.)

  [PATCH] INITRAMFS: allow no trailer
  
  According to "initramfs buffer format -- third draft"
  http://lwn.net/2002/0117/a/initramfs-buffer-format.php3 "the cpio
  "TRAILER!!!" entry (cpio end-of-archive) is optional, but is not ignored"
  
  The kernel handling does not follow this spec.  If you add null padding
  after an uncompressed cpio without TRAILER!!!  the kernel complains "no
  cpio magic".  In a gzipped archive one gets "junk in gzipped archive"
  without the TRAILER!!!
  
  This patch changes the state transitions so the kernel will follow the spec.
  
  Tested: padded uncompressed, padded compressed, unpadded compressed (error)
  and trailing junk in compressed (error)
  
  ===
  
  I have a boot loader that knows how to load files, determine their size,
  and advance to the next 4-byte boundary and reports the total size of the
  files loaded.  It doesn't understand about converting this number to some
  ASCII representation.
  
  With this patch I can embed the contents of a file padded with NULs
  with out knowing the exact size of the file with the following files:
  
  1) file containing cpio header & file name, padded to 4 bytes
  2) contents of file
  3) pad file of zeros, the size at least as large as the that specified
     for the file.
  
  hpa points out that you should be careful with the headers, use unique
  inode numbers and/or add a cpio header with just TRAILER!!!  to reset the
  inode hash table to avoid unwanted hard links.  I just put this sequence as
  the last files loaded.

  [PATCH] ppc64: IOMMU cleanups: Main cleanup patch
  
  Earlier cleanup efforts of the ppc64 IOMMU code have mostly been targeted
  at simplifying the allocation schemes and modularising things for the
  various platforms.  The IOMMU init functions are still a mess.  This is an
  attempt to clean them up and make them somewhat easier to follow.
  
  The new rules are:
  
  1. iommu_init_early_<arch> is called before any PCI/VIO init is done
  2. The pcibios fixup routines will call the iommu_{bus,dev}_setup functions
     appropriately as devices are added.
  
  TCE space allocation has changed somewhat:
  
  * On LPARs, nothing is really different. ibm,dma-window properties are still
    used to determine table sizes.
  * On pSeries SMP-mode (non-LPAR), the full TCE space per PHB is split up
    in 256MB chunks, each handed out to one child bus/slot as needed. This
    makes current max 7 child buses per PHB, something we're currently below
    on all machine models I'm aware of.
  * Exception to the above: Pre-POWER4 machines with Python PHBs have a full
    GB of DMA space allocated at the PHB level, since there are no EADS-level
    tables on such systems.
  * PowerMac and Maple still work like before: all buses/slots share one table.
  * VIO works like before, ibm,my-dma-window is used like before.
  * iSeries has not been touched much at all, besides the changed unit of
    the it_size variable in struct iommu_table.
  
  Other things changed:
  * Powermac and maple PCI/IOMMU inits have been changed a bit to conform to
    the new init structure
  * pci_dma_direct.c has been renamed pci_direct_iommu.c to match
    pci_iommu.c (see separate patch)
  * Likewise, a couple of the pci direct init functions have been renamed.

  [PATCH] ppc64: clean up trap handling
  
  This patch is from Jake Moilanen <moilanen@austin.ibm.com>.
  
  Clean-up of traps.c.  Moved the machine dependent calls to a ppc_md call,
  and moved the pSeries specific code to ras.c.
  
  I also changed the naming convention to more closely follow the Linux
  standards.

  [PATCH] ppc64: use newer RTAS call when available
  
  This patch is from Nathan Fontenot <nfont@austin.ibm.com> originally.
  
  The PPC64 EEH code needs a small update to start using the
  ibm,read-slot-reset-state2 rtas call if available.  The currently used
  ibm,read-slot-reset-state call will be going away on future machines.
  
  This patch attempts to use the newer rtas call if available and falls back
  the older version otherwise.  This will maintain EEH slot checking
  capabilities on all future and current firmware levels.

  [PATCH] ppc64: add performance monitor register information to processor.h
  
  Most special purpose registers on the ppc64 have both the SPR number, and
  the various fields within the register defined in asm-ppc64/processor.h.
  So far that's not true for the performance counter control registers, MMCR0
  and MMCRA.  They have the SPR numbers defined, but the internal fields are
  defined in the oprofile code and (just a few) in traps.c where they're
  actually used.
  
  This patch moves all the MMCR0 and MMCRA definitions, plus the MSR
  performance monitor bit, MSR_PMM, into processor.h.

  [PATCH] vmscan: count writeback pages in nr_scanned
  
  OOM kills have been observed with 70% of the pages in lowmem being in the
  writeback state.  If we count those pages in sc->nr_scanned, the VM should
  throttle and wait for IO completion, instead of OOM killing.

  [PATCH] USB: ehci "hc died" on startup (chip bug workaround)
  
  This fixes OSDL bugid #3056 for at least some users, where the EHCI
  driver gets a "fatal error" IRQ on startup ... only on certain boards,
  starting with the 2.6.6 or 2.6.7 kernels.  These IRQs normally indicate
  that an invalid DMA address got passed to the controller, or something
  equally nasty and unrecoverable.
  
  But it turns out that some of these controllers (at least ALI and Intel)
  are lying.  They're issuing these IRQs without stopping, contrary to the
  EHCI spec ... so these IRQs can be recovered from.  Thanks to Christian
  Iversen for noticing that his ALI controller would continue operating,
  which was the first real break in this annoying case.
  
  This patch tests for these bogus IRQs, and ignores them ... working around
  what's clearly a chip bug.  It's not clear why we started triggering that
  bug, but at least EHCI is now usable on boards exhibiting this problem.

  [PATCH] USB: definitions for USB2 debug device, debug port
  
  This provides basic definitions to support "USB2 Debug Devices", as
  supported by certain EHCI root hub ports (from ALI, Intel, NVidia, and
  other vendors).  Docs are available at Intel's USB spec webpage.
  
  The basic idea is to help debug "legacy free" systems, with no serial port
  for a console or debugger to use.  The USB debug port uses PIO to send and
  receive at most 8 bytes of high speed data at a time, so it can support one
  I/O channel without needing _any_ of the usbcore infrastructure, or DMA,
  or IRQs.  (Cost can be 2KB rather than ~150KB.)

  [PATCH] forcedeth: add ethtool get/set_settings support
  
  The patch adds ethtool get_ and set_settings support to the forcedeth nic
  driver. This allows to force a certain link speed with ethtool -s.
  
  Supported link speeds: 10 HD&FD, 100 HD&FD, 1000 FD
  
  1000 HD is not supported (probably a hardware restriction), 1000 FD is
  only supported with autonegotiation enabled.
  
  Changelog:
  - Code reorganization: move ethtool functions further down in forcedeth.c
    (no code changes within the existing ethtool functions)
  - add support for setting the link setting bits in the nic with
  autodetection in the PHY disabled (i.e. use a netdev_priv() variable
  instead of querying the PHY)
  - implement get_settings and set_settings ethtool functions.

  [ide] PCI quirk for ICH3-M IDE
  
  From: Jim Paris <jim@jtan.com>
  
  Bartlomiej: I have an ICH3-M controller on my laptop.  The BIOS is
  leaving the prog-if as 0x8E (primary = legacy, secondary = native).
  When the PCI interrupt is routed (either in the IDE driver's
  pci_enable_device, or earlier if pci=routeirq is used), unhandled
  interrupts cause IRQ 9 to be disabled, breaking most of my other
  hardware.  This seems to be caused by having the nonexistant secondary
  interface set to native mode.  According to the datasheet I checked,
  having different modes for primary/secondary is not an allowed
  combination anyway, so the following PCI quirk checks for this case
  and forces both interfaces to legacy if true.
  
  It may make sense to make this more generic (this problem may affect
  other PCI IDs as well), or it may be better solved in the IDE driver,
  at least when pci=routeirq is not used.  But the following patch does
  work well for me.

  [PATCH] Fix up compiler inefficiencies
  
  Oh, bugger...
  
  The recent mmzone.h change triggered some very, very ugly things in
  next_zone(), is_highmem(), is_normal() and zone_idx() because it changed
  the size of "struct zone" subtly.
  
  Pointer subtraction is no fun when sizeof of object gets weird and poor
  gcc blows its brains out trying to optimize that...  This slowed down an
  ARM cross-build by a factor of 2.5. 
  
  Turn the pointer subtraction tests into pointer addition tests instead
  where possible, making them trivial to deal with (and gets better code,
  in addition to faster compile).
  
  zone_idx() still does a subtraction.

  Ugg.  How about this?
  
  Zero out newly allocated bin_attributes for legacy I/O, memory and resource
  files since we won't fill in all of the file operation methods.  This will

  [PATCH] add printing of udev version to scripts/ver_linux
  
  Since udev is starting to be used a lot of places and I've seen people get

  perhaps time that scripts/ver_linux reported this info so it would get
  into more bugreports by default.

  [PATCH] Update IOP3xx I2C bus driver
  
  The following patch is a major cleanup of the IOP3xx I2C bus driver
  that is found on Intel's IOP and IXP chipsets. The existing driver in
  the 2.6 tree uses hardcoded I/O addresses based on board configuration
  which is just going to get ugly as more chips use this unit. The update
  switches to using the driver model and passing in the I/O addresses
  via platform_device resources. The patch also updates the ID name to
  more closely match the actual usage of the device.
  
  I have tested this new driver on IXP46x systems and Dave Jiang has
  tested it on both IOP321 and IOP331 systems. ARM-specific patches
  to provide platform-level hooks will go upstream after this patch
  is integrated.
  
  An example of using the new driver (from IXP46x ARM code) follows:
  
  static struct resource ixp46x_i2c_resources[] = {
  	[0] = {
  		.start 	= 0xc8011000,
  		.end	= 0xc801101c,
  		.flags	= IORESOURCE_MEM,
  	},
  	[1] = {
  		.start 	= IRQ_IXP4XX_I2C,
  		.end	= IRQ_IXP4XX_I2C,
  		.flags	= IORESOURCE_IRQ
  	}
  };
  
  static struct platform_device ixp46x_i2c_controller = {
  	.name		= "IOP3xx-I2C",
  	.id		= 0,
  	.num_resources	= 2,
  	.resource	= &ixp46x_i2c_resources
  };
  
  static struct platform_device *ixp46x_devices[] __initdata = {
  	&ixp46x_i2c_controller
  };
  
  void __init ixp4xx_init(void)
  {
  	if (cpu_is_ixp46x()) {
  		platform_add_devices(ixp46x_devices,
  				ARRAY_SIZE(ixp46x_devices));
  	}

  [MTD] remove unnecessary casts from drivers/mtd/maps/nettel.c and kill two warnings
  
  I took a look at the cause for these warnings in the 2.6.10 kernel,
  
  drivers/mtd/maps/nettel.c:361: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast
  drivers/mtd/maps/nettel.c:395: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast
  
  and as far as I can see the casts in there (to unsigned long and back to
  void*) are completely unnessesary ('virt' in 'struct map_info' is a void
  __iomem *), and getting rid of those casts buys us a warning free build.

  [MTD] Bug in 2.6.10 mtd driver for physmem mapped flash chips
  
  The patch below fixes a small but fatal bug in the code that handles
  non-buswidth-aligned writes. The problem is that the code used the same
  index in both map_word and buf, therefore putting the wrong words in the
  map_word that partially contains old data and partially contains new
  data. The result: corrupt data is being written.

  [PATCH] zr36067 driver - correct jpeg app/com markers
  
  Attached patch fixes the writing of APP (application-specific) and COM
  (comment) markers in the JPEG stream as generated by the zr36050 or zr36060
  encoders, both part of the zr36067 driver.
  
  During separating those bits out of the main zoran driver, we accidently
  removed the interface through which applications can adapt those markers,
  replacing them by unchangeable (static) markers.  Some video formats,
  particularly Quicktime and AVI, require specific container-specific markers in
  the stream for interlaced streams.  Those markers specify field order and
  such.
  
  The attached patch re-adds this feature so that decoders depending on those
  container-specific markers for correct playback will work correctly.

    was incorrect.
  - Replace colour mode magic numbers with suitable constants,
    and tidy colour mode handling. Use BGR not RGB at 24bit on
    big-endian.
  - Replace aperture magic numbers with constants. Rearrange code to
    emphasise second aperture is not used. Add short explanations
    of aperture settings for big endian.
  - Update comments to note that the driver now works on Sparc.
  - Revisit 32bit depth colour offsets and ensure transp is set.

  [PATCH] knfsd: nfsd_translate_wouldblocks
  
  -EAGAIN has a special treatment in the nfsd code since it's used to indicate
  that an upcall has been initiated and that a request should be dropped pending
  the upcall result.
  
  But when the break_lease functions return -EWOULDBLOCK (==-EAGAIN on most
  architectures), we actually prefer to return nfserr_jukebox.  So translate
  -EAGAIN returns to -ETIMEDOUT (which will be translated to nfserr_jukebox).
  
  Undo the mapping of -EWOULDBLOCK to nfserr_jukebox, since on most
  architectures that has the undesireable effect of mapping -EAGAIN to
  nfserr_jukebox.

  anonymous mapping or a writable executable private file mapping.  The
  task->file execmod permission controls the ability to make executable a
  previously written private file mapping, e.g.  for text relocations.  Thanks

  [PATCH] SELinux: add dynamic context transition support to SELinux
  
  This patch for adds dynamic context transition support to SELinux via writes
  to the existing /proc/pid/attr/current interface.
  
  Previously, SELinux only supported exec-based context transitions.  This
  functionality allows privileged applications to apply privilege bracketing
  without necessarily being refactored to an exec-based model (although such a
  model has advantages in least privilege and isolation).
  
  A process must have setcurrent permission to use this mechanism at all, and
  the dyntransition permission must be granted between the old and new security
  contexts.  Multi-threaded processes are not allowed to use this operation, as
  it will yield an inconsistency among the security contexts of the threads
  sharing the same mm.
  
  Ptrace permission is revalidated against the new context if the process is
  being ptraced.

  [PATCH] SELinux scalability: convert AVC to RCU
  
  The following patch improves the scalability of SELinux by replacing the
  global avc_lock with an RCU based scheme by Kaigai Kohei.  The size of the
  cache is made tunable, to allow administrators to tune systems for different
  workloads, while statistics are exported via selinuxfs to allow AVC
  performance to be monitored at a low level.
  
  AVC nodes are also allocated now via a slab cache, and AVC references have
  been removed from the code.
  
  This code has been extensively tested and benchmarked (see benchmark results
  below).  Baseline performance is not improved, although it is clear that
  dramatic scalability improvements are achieved.
  
  Baseline performance and networking scalability are areas where work is
  ongoing (in particular, we need to add caching of some network security
  objects so that we don't fallback to policy database lookups on each
  permission call).

  [PATCH] task_struct.exit_state usage
  
  I just did a quick audit of the use of exit_state and the EXIT_* bit
  macros.  I guess I didn't really review these changes very closely when you
  did them originally.  :-(
  
  I found several places that seem like lossy cases of query-replace without
  enough thought about the code.  Linus has previously said the >= tests
  ought to be & tests instead.  But for exit_state, it can only ever be 0,
  EXIT_DEAD, or EXIT_ZOMBIE--so a nonzero test is actually the same as
  testing & (EXIT_DEAD|EXIT_ZOMBIE), and maybe its code is a tiny bit better.
   The case like in choose_new_parent is just confusing, to have the
  always-false test for EXIT_* bits in ->state there too.
  
  The two cases in wants_signal and do_process_times are actual regressions
  that will give us back old bugs in race conditions.  These places had
  s/TASK/EXIT/ but not s/state/exit_state/, and now there tests for exiting
  tasks are now wrong and never catching them.  I take it back: there is no
  regression in wants_signal in practice I think, because of the PF_EXITING
  test that makes the EXIT_* state checks superfluous anyway.  So that is
  just another cosmetic case of confusing code.  But in do_process_times,
  there is that SIGXCPU-while-exiting race condition back again.

  [PATCH] move waitchld_exit from task_struct to signal_struct
  
  There is really no point in each task_struct having its own waitchld_exit. 
  In the only use of it, the waitchld_exit of each thread in a group gets
  woken up at the same time.  So, there might as well just be one wait queue
  for the whole thread group.  This patch does that by moving the field from
  task_struct to signal_struct.  It should have no effect on the behavior,
  but saves a little work and a little storage in the multithreaded case.

  [PATCH] fix ptracer death race yielding bogus BUG_ON
  
  There is a BUG_ON in ptrace_stop that hits if the thread is not ptraced.
  However, there is no synchronization between a thread deciding to do a
  ptrace stop and so going here, and its ptracer dying and so detaching from
  it and clearing its ->ptrace field. 
  
  The RHEL3 2.4-based kernel has a backport of a slightly older version of
  the 2.6 signals code, which has a different but equivalent BUG_ON.  This
  actually bit users in practice (when the debugger dies), but was
  exceedingly difficult to reproduce in contrived circumstances.  We moved
  forward in RHEL3 just by removing the BUG_ON, and that fixed the real user
  problems even though I was never able to reproduce the scenario myself. 
  So, to my knowledge this scenario has never actually been seen in practice
  under 2.6.  But it's plain to see from the code that it is indeed possible.
  
  This patch removes that BUG_ON, but also goes further and tries to handle
  this case more gracefully than simply avoiding the crash.  By removing the
  BUG_ON alone, it becomes possible for the real parent of a process to see
  spurious SIGCHLD notifications intended for the debugger that has just
  died, and have its child wind up stopped unexpectedly.  This patch avoids
  that possibility by detecting the case when we are about to do the ptrace
  stop but our ptracer has gone away, and simply eliding that ptrace stop
  altogether as if we hadn't been ptraced when we hit the interesting event
  (signal or ptrace_notify call for syscall tracing or something like that).

  [PATCH] fix stop signal race
  
  The `sig_avoid_stop_race' checks fail to catch a related race scenario that
  can happen.  I don't think this has been seen in nature, but it could
  happen in the same sorts of situations where the observed problems come up
  that those checks work around.  This patch takes a different approach to
  catching this race condition.  The new approach plugs the hole, and I think
  is also cleaner.
  
  The issue is a race between one CPU processing a stop signal while another
  CPU processes a SIGCONT or SIGKILL.  There is a window in stop-signal
  processing where the siglock must be released.  If a SIGCONT or SIGKILL
  comes along here on another CPU, then the stop signal in the midst of being
  processed needs to be discarded rather than having the stop take place
  after the SIGCONT or SIGKILL has been generated.  The existing workaround
  checks for this case explicitly by looking for a pending SIGCONT or SIGKILL
  after reacquiring the lock.
  
  However, there is another problem related to the same race issue.  In the
  window where the processing of the stop signal has released the siglock,
  the stop signal is not represented in the pending set any more, but it is
  still "pending" and not "delivered" in POSIX terms.  The SIGCONT coming in
  this window is required to clear all pending stop signals.  But, if a stop
  signal has been dequeued but not yet processed, the SIGCONT generation will
  fail to clear it (in handle_stop_signal).  Likewise, a SIGKILL coming here
  should prevent the stop processing and make the thread die immediately
  instead.  The `sig_avoid_stop_race' code checks for this by examining the
  pending set to see if SIGCONT or SIGKILL is in it.  But this fails to
  handle the case where another CPU running another thread in the same
  process has already dequeued the signal (so it no longer can be found in
  the pending set).  We must catch this as well, so that the same problems do
  not arise when another thread on another CPU acted real fast.
  
  I've fixed this dumping the `sig_avoid_stop_race' kludge in favor of a
  little explicit bookkeeping.  Now, dequeuing any stop signal sets a flag
  saying that a pending stop signal has been taken on by some CPU since the
  last time all pending stop signals were cleared due to SIGCONT/SIGKILL. 
  The processing of stop signals checks the flag after the window where it
  released the lock, and abandons the signal the flag has been cleared.  The
  code that clears pending stop signals on SIGCONT generation also clears
  this flag.  The various places that are trying to ensure the process dies
  quickly (SIGKILL or other unhandled signals) also clear the flag.  I've
  made this a general flags word in signal_struct, and replaced the
  stop_state field with flag bits in this word.

  [PATCH] Remove RCU abuse in cpu_idle()
  
  Introduce cpu_idle_wait() on architectures requiring modification of
  pm_idle from modules, this will ensure that all processors have updated
  their cached values of pm_idle upon exit.  This patch is to address the bug
  report at http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1716 and replaces the
  current code fix which is in violation of normal RCU usage as pointed out
  by Stephen, Dipankar and Paul.

  [PATCH] __getblk_slow can loop forever when pages are partially mapped
  
  When a block device is accessed via read/write, it is possible for some of
  the buffers on a page to be mapped and others not.  __getblk and friends
  assume this can't happen, and can end up looping forever when pages have
  some unmapped buffers.  Picture:
  
  lseek(/dev/xxx, 2048, SEEK_SET)
  write(/dev/xxx, 2048 bytes)
  
  Assuming the block size is 1k, page 0 has 4 buffers, two are mapped by
  __block_prepare_write and two are not.  Next, another process triggers
  getblk(/dev/xxx, blocknr = 0);
  
  __getblk_slow will loop forever.  __find_get_block fails because the buffer
  isn't mapped.  grow_dev_page does nothing because there are buffers on the
  page with the correct size.  madhav@veritas.com and others at Veritas
  tracked this down.
  
  The fix below has two parts.  First, it changes __find_get_block to avoid
  the buffer_error warnings when it finds unmapped buffers on the page.
  
  Second, it changes grow_dev_page to map the buffers on the page by calling
  init_page_buffers.  init_page_buffers is changed so we don't stomp on
  uptodate bits for the buffers.

  [PATCH] IRQ resource deallocation: ia64
  
  This is an ia64 portion of IRQ resource deallocation. It implements
  pcibios_disable_device() and acpi_unregister_gsi() for ia64.
  
      o acpi_unregister_gsi()
  
          Summary of changes for implementing this interface:
  
          - Add new function iosapic_unregister_intr() into
            arch/ia64/kernel/iosapic.c. This function frees an interrupt
            vector and related data structures.
  
          - Add new function free_irq_vector() into
            arch/ia64/kernel/irq_ia64.c. This frees an unused vector.
  
          - Change assign_irq_vector() to be able to support
            free_irq_vector().
  
      o pcibios_disable_device()
  
          This calls acpi_pci_irq_disable() to deallocate IRQ resources.

  [PATCH] IRQ resource deallocation: ACPI
  
  Architecture dependent IRQ resources such as interrupt vector for PCI
  devices are allocated at pci_enable_device() time on i386, x86-64 and
  ia64 platform. Today, however, these IRQ resources are never
  deallocated even if they are no longer used. The following set of
  patches adds supports to deallocate IRQ resources at
  pci_disable_device() time.
  
  The motivation of the set of patches is as follows:
  
      - IRQ resources such as interrupt vectors should be freed if they
        are no longer used because the amount of these resources are
        limited. By deallocating IRQ resources, we can recycle them.
  
      - I think some hardwares will support hot-pluggable I/O units with
        I/O xAPICs in the near future. So I/O xAPIC hot-plug support by
        OS will be needed soon. IRQ resouces deallocation will be one of
        the most important stuff for I/O xAPIC hot-plug.
  
  For now, the following set of patches has ia64 implementation only.
  i386 and x86_64 implementations are TBD.
  
  
  
  
  This patch is ACPI portion of IRQ deallocation. This patch defines the
  following new interface. The implementation of this interface depends
  on each platform.
  
      o void acpi_unregister_gsi(u32 gsi)
  
          This is a opposite portion of acpi_register_gsi(). This has a
          responsibility for deallocating IRQ resources associated with
          the specified GSI number.
  
          We need to consider the case of shared interrupt. In the case
          of shared interrupt, acpi_register_gsi() is called multiple
          times for one gsi. That is, registrations and unregistrations
          can be nested.
  
          This function undoes the effect of one call to
          acpi_register_gsi(). If this matches the last registration,
          IRQ resources associated with the specified GSI number are
          freed.
  
  This patch also adds the following new function.
  
      o void acpi_pci_irq_disable (struct pci_dev *dev)
  
          This function is a opposite portion of
          acpi_pci_enable_irq(). It clears the device's linux IRQ number
          and calls acpi_unregister_gsi() to deallocate IRQ resources.

  [PATCH] fix missing wakeup in ipc/sem
  
  My patch that removed the spin_lock calls from the tail of sys_semtimedop
  introduced a bug:
  
  Before my patch was merged, every operation that altered an array called
  update_queue.  That call woke up threads that were waiting until a
  semaphore value becomes 0.  I've accidentially removed that call.
  
  The attached patch fixes that by modifying update_queue: the function now
  loops internally and wakes up all threads.  The patch also removes
  update_queue calls from the error path of sys_semtimedop: failed operations
  do not modify the array, no need to rescan the list of waiting threads.

  [PATCH] Sync in core time granuality with filesystems
  
  This patch corrects a problem that was originally added with the nanosecond
  timestamps in stat patch.  The problem is that some file systems don't have
  enough space in their on disk inode to save nanosecond timestamps, so they
  truncate the c/a/mtime to seconds when flushing an dirty node.  In core the
  inode would have full jiffies granuality.
  
  This can be observed by programs as a timestamp that jumps backwards under
  specific loads when an inode is flushed and then reloaded from disk.
  
  The problem was already known when the original patch went in, but it
  wasn't deemed important enough at that time.  So far there has been only
  one report of it causing problems.  Now Tridge is worried that it will
  break running Excel over samba4 because Excel seems to do very anal
  timestamp checking and samba4 will supply 100ns timestamps over the
  network.
  
  This patch solves it by putting the time resolution into the superblock of
  a fs and always rounding the in core timestamps to that granuality.
  
  This also supercedes some previous ext2/3 hacks to flush the inode less
  often when only the subsecond timestamp changes.
  
  I tried to keep the overhead low, in particular it tries to keep divisions
  out of fast paths as far as possible.
  
  The patch is quite big but 99% of it is just relatively straight forward
  search'n'replace in a lot of fs.  Unconverted filesystems will default to a
  1ns granuality, but may still show the problem if they continue to use
  CURRENT_TIME.  I converted all in tree fs.
  
  One possible future extension of this would be to have two time
  granualities per superblock - one that specifies the visible resolution,
  and the other to specify how often timestamps should be flushed to disk,
  which could be tuned with a mount option per fs (e.g.  often m/atimes don't
  need to be flushed every second).  Would be easy to do as an addon if
  someone is interested.

  [PATCH] sys_stime needs a compat function
  
  I realized that the best way to get the sys_time/sys_stime problem fixed is
  to make sys_time 64 bit safe by using "time_t *" instead of "int *" and to
  introduce two proper compat functions compat_sys_time and compat_sys_stime.
  
  The prototype change of sys_time is transparent for 32 bit architectures
  because both "int" and "time_t" are 32 bit.  For 64 bit the type change
  would be wrong but luckily no 64 bit architecture uses sys_time/sys_stime
  in 64 bit mode.  The patch makes the following change:
  
  ia64     : Remove sys32_time, use compat_sys_time and
             add (!!) compat_sys_stime to compat syscall table.
  mips     : Use compat_sys_time/compat_sys_stime in 32 bit syscall table.
             Add #ifdef magic to compile sys_time/sys_stime and
             compat_sys_time/compat_sys_stime only if needed.
  parisc   : Remove sys32_time, use compat_sys_time and compat_sys_stime.
  ppc64    : remove sys32_time, ppc64_sys32_stime and ppc64_sys_stime.
             Use common compat_sys_time, compat_sys_stime and sys_stime.
  s390     : Use compat_sys_stime. Add #ifdef magic to compile
             sys_time/sys_stime and compat_sys_time/compat_sys_stime only
             if needed.
  sparc64  : Use compat_sys_time/compat_Sys_stime in 32 bit syscall table.
  um       : Remove um_time and um_stime. Use common functions sys_time and
             sys_stime. This adds a CAP_SYS_TIME check to UMs stime call.
  x86_64   : Remove sys32_time. Use compat_sys_time and compat_sys_stime
             in 32 bit syscall table.
  
  The original stime bug is fixed for mips, parisc, s390, sparc64 and
  x86_64. Can the arch-maintainers please take a look at this?

  [PATCH] compile with -ffreestanding
  
  For the kernel, it would be logical to use -ffreestanding.  The kernel is
  not a hosted environment with a standard C library.
  
  The gcc option -ffreestanding is supported by both gcc 2.95 and 3.4, which
  covers the whole range of currently supported compilers.
  
  Regarding changes caused by this patch:
  
  Andi Kleen reported:
    Newer gcc rewrites sprintf(buf,"%s",str) to strcpy(buf,str) transparently.
  
  This is only true with unit-at-a-time (disabled on i386 but enabled on
  x86_64).  The Linux kernel doesn't offer a standard C library, and such
  transparent replacements of kernel functions with builtins are quite
  fragile.
  
  Even with -ffreestanding, it's still possilble to explicitely use a gcc
  builtin if desired.

  [PATCH] ext3: support for EA in inode
  
  1) intent of the patch is to get possibility to store EAs in the body of large
     inode. it saves space and improves performance in some cases
  
  2) the patch is quite simple: it works the same way original xattr does, but
     using other storage (inode body). body has priority over separate block.
     original routines (ext3_xattr_get, ext3_xattr_list, ext3_xattr_set) are
     renamed to ext3_xattr_block_*. new routines that handle inode storate are
     added (ext3_xattr_ibody_get, ext3_xattr_ibody_list, ext3_xattr_ibody_set).
     routines ext3_xattr_get, ext3_xattr_list and ext3_xattr_set allow user to
     accesss both the storages transparently
  
  3) the change makes sense on filesystem with inode size >= 256 bytes only.
     2.4 kernels don't support such a filesystems, AFAIK. 2.6 kernels do support
     and ignore EAs stored in a body w/o the patch
  
  4) debugfs and e2fsck need to be patched to deal with EAs in inode
     the patch will be sent later
  
  5) testing results:
  	a) Andrew Samba Master (tridge) has done successful tests
  	b) we've been using ea-in-inode feature in Lustre for many months

  [PATCH] Reduce i_sem usage during file sync operations
  
  We hold i_sem during the various sync() operations to prevent livelocks:
  if another thread is dirtying the file, a sync() may never return.
  
  Or at least, that used to be true when we were using the per-address_space
  page lists.  Since writeback has used radix tree traversal it is not possible
  to livelock the sync() operations, because they only visit each page a single
  time.
  
  sync_page_range() (used by O_SYNC writes) has not been holding i_sem for quite
  some time, for the above reasons.
  
  The patch converts fsync(), fdatasync() and msync() to also not hold i_sem
  during the radix-tree-based writeback.
  
  Now, we _do_ still need to hold i_sem across the file->f_op->fsync() call,
  because that is still based on a list_head walk, and is still livelockable.
  
  But in the case of msync() I deliberately left i_sem untaken.  This is because
  we're currently deadlockable in msync, because mmap_sem is already held, and
  mmap_sem nexts inside i_sem, due to direct-io.c.
  
  And yes, the ranking of down_read() veruss down() does matter:
  
  	Task A			Task B		Task C
  
  	down_read(rwsem)
  				down(sem)
  						down_write(rwsem)
  	down(sem)
  				down_read(rwsem)
  
  
  C's down_write() will cause B's down_read to block.  B holds `sem', so A will
  never release `rwsem'.
  
  So the patch fixes a hard-to-hit triple-task deadlock, but adds a possible
  livelock in msync().  It is possible to fix sys_msync() so that it takes i_sem
  outside i_mmap_sem.  Later.

  Bring the total_forks under tasklist_lock.  When most of the fork code

  Althought accuracy of total_forks is not important, it would be nice to add

  it is grouped with nr_threads.  The difference is, total_forks will
  increase on fork, but nr_threads will increase on fork and decrease on the

  [PATCH] ext3: handle attempted double-delete of metadata.
  
  This patch improves ext3's ability to deal with corruption on-disk.  If we
  try to delete a metadata block twice, we confuse ext3's internal revoke
  error-checking, resulting in a BUG().  But this can occur in practice due
  to a corrupt indirect block, so we should attempt to fail gracefully.
  
  Downgrade the assert failure to a JH_EXPECT_BH failure, and return EIO when
  it occurs.
  
  This is easily reproduced with a sample ext3 fs image containing an inode
  which references the same indirect block more than once.  Deleting that
  inode will BUG() an unfixed kernel with:
  
  Assertion failure in journal_revoke() at fs/jbd/revoke.c:379:
  "!buffer_revoked(bh)"
  
  With the fix, ext3 recovers gracefully.

  [PATCH] ext3: handle attempted delete of bitmap blocks.
  
  This patch improves ext3's ability to deal with corruption on-disk.  If we
  ever get a corrupt inode or indirect block, then an attempt to delete it
  can end up trying to remove any block on the fs, including bitmap blocks.
  This can cause ext3 to assert-fail as we end up trying to do an ext3_forget
  on a buffer with b_committed_data set.
  
  The fix is to downgrade this to an IO error and journal abort, so that we
  take the filesystem readonly but don't bring down the whole kernel.
  
  Make J_EXPECT_JH() return a value so it can be easily tested and yet still
  retained as an assert failure if we build ext3 with full internal debugging
  enabled.  Make journal_forget() return an error code so that in this case
  the error can be passed up to the caller.
  
  This is easily reproduced with a sample ext3 fs image containing an inode
  whose direct and indirect blocks refer to a block bitmap block.  Allocating
  new blocks and then deleting that inode will BUG() with:
  
  Assertion failure in journal_forget() at fs/jbd/transaction.c:1228:
  "!jh->b_committed_data"
  
  With the fix, ext3 recovers gracefully.

  [PATCH] ext3: cleanup handling of aborted transactions.
  
  This patch improves ext3's error logging when we encounter an on-disk
  corruption.  Previously, a transaction (such as a truncate) which encountered
  many corruptions (eg.  a single highly-corrupt indirect block) would emit
  copious "aborting transaction" errors to the log.
  
  Even worse, encountering an aborted journal can count as such an error,
  leading to a flood of spurious "aborting transaction: Journal has aborted"
  errors.
  
  With the fix, only emit that message on the first error.  The patch also
  restores a missing \n in that printk path.

  [PATCH] Permit nommu MAP_SHARED of memory backed files
  
  The attached patch applies some further fixes and extensions to the nommu mmap
  implementation:
  
   (1) /proc/maps distinguishes shareable private mappings and real shared
       mappings by marking the former with 's' and the latter with 'S'.
  
   (2) Rearrange and optimise the checking portion of do_mmap_pgoff() to make it
       easier to follow.
  
   (3) Only set VM_SHARED on MAP_SHARED mappings. Its presence indicates that the
       backing memory is supplied by the underlying file or chardev.
  
       VM_MAYSHARE indicates that a VMA may be shared if it's a private VMA. The
       memory for a private VMA is allocated by do_mmap_pgoff() from a kmalloc
       slab and then the file contents are read into it before returning.
  
   (4) Permit MAP_SHARED + PROT_WRITE on memory-backed files[*] and chardevs to
       indicate a contiguous area of memory when its get_unmapped_area() is
       called if the backing fs/chardev is willing.
  
       [*] file->f_mapping->backing_dev_info->memory_backed == 1
  
   (5) Require chardevs and files that support to provide a get_unmapped_area()
       file operation.
  
   (6) Made sure a private mapping of /dev/zero is possible. Shared mappings of
       /dev/zero are not currently supported because this'd need greater
       interaction of mmap with the chardev driver than is currently supported.
  
   (7) Add in some extra checks from mm/mmap.c: security, file having write
       access for a writable shared mapping, file not being in append mode.
  
   (8) Only account the mapping memory if it's allocated here; memory belonging
       to a shared chardev or file is not accounted.
  
  With this patch it should be possible to map contiguous flash files directly
  out of ROM simply by providing get_unmapped_area() for a read-only/shared
  mapping.
  
  I think that it might be worth splitting do_mmap_pgoff() up into smaller
  subfunctions: one to handle the checking, one to handle shared mappings and
  one to handle private mappings.

  [PATCH] Fix nommu MAP_SHARED handling
  
  The attached patch does the following things:
  
   (1) It uniquifies permitted overlapping VMAs (eg: MAP_SHARED on chardevs) in
       nommu_vma_tree. Identical entries break the assumptions on which rbtrees
       work. Since we don't need to share VMAs in this case, we uniquify such
       VMAs by using the pointer to the VMA. They're only kept in the tree for
       /proc/maps visibility.
  
   (2) Extracts VMA unlinking into its own function so that the source is
       adjacent to the VMA linking function.
  
   (3) No longer releases memory belonging to a shared chardev or file (the
       underlying driver is expected to provide mappable memory).
  
   (4) Frees the file attached to a VMA whether or not that VMA is shared or is
       a memory-mapped I/O mapping.

  [PATCH] frv: Minix & ext2 bitops fixes
  
  The attached patch does two things:
  
   (1) Implements the ext2/ext3 bitops in terms of the main bitops functions.
  
   (2) Changes the Minix bitops to use the ext2 bitops (LE) rather than the main
       bitops (BE).

  [PATCH] FRV: debugging fixes
  
  The attached patch fixes three debugging problems in the frv arch:
  
   (1) Single-stepping in userspace steps through into the kernel-mode interrupt
       handler when a hardware interrupt happens, and sometimes it gets past
       where the debug-mode handler would normally catch it. This patch extends
       the range of detected PC values.
  
   (2) When setting up the kernel-mode exception frame from the debug-mode
       handler for a userspace debugging event, we weren't setting the LR
       register to generate a return to the exception handler epilogue.
  
   (3) sys_ptrace() now needs to "put" the inferior task_struct not "free" it as
       was done in 2.4.

  [PATCH] Further nommu changes
  
  The attached patch further changes the nommu stuff previously changed. These
  new changes do the following:
  
   (0) Some additional variables have been defined to make nommu even compile.
  
   (1) Get rid of the alternate vm_area_struct. The nommu mmap now uses the
       normal one. There's a refcount field added to the normal one, contingent
       on !CONFIG_MMU.
  
   (2) vm_rb is now used to keep track of the VMAs in an rbtree rather than
       adding a separate list.
  
   (3) mm_tblock_struct is now vm_list_struct.
  
   (4) put_vma() now calls vma->vm_ops->close() if available on nommu.
  
   (5) A dummy generic_file_vm_ops has been provided. It does nothing, but
       permits tiny-shmem to compile.
  
       tiny-shmem and ramfs still need attention, such that files contained
       therein can be mmapped shared-writably to some extent on nommu.

  [PATCH] FRV: Add FDPIC ELF binary format driver
  
  The attached patch adds a new binary format driver that allows a special
  variety of ELF to be used that permits the dynamic sections that comprise an
  executable, its dynamic loader and its shared libaries and its stack and data
  to be located anywhere within the address space.
  
  This is used to provide shared libraries and shared executables (at least, as
  far as the read-only dynamic sections go) on uClinux. Not only that, but the
  same binaries can be run on MMU linux without a problem.
  
  This is achieved by:
  
   (1) Passing loadmaps to the dynamic loader (or to a statically linked
       executable) to indicate the whereabouts of the various dynamic sections.
  
   (2) Using a GOT inside the program.
  
   (3) Passing setup_arg_pages() the stack pointer to be.
  
   (4) Allowing the arch greated control over how an executable is laid out in
       memory in MMU Linux.
  
   (5) Rewriting mm/nommu.c to support MAP_PRIVATE on files, thus allowing _mmap_
       to handle sharing of private-readonly mappings.

  [PATCH] FRV: Better mmap support in uClinux
  
  The attached patch changes mm/nommu.c to better support mmap() when MMU
  support is disabled (as it is in uClinux).
  
  This was discussed on the uclibc mailing list in a thread revolving around the
  following message:
  
  	Date: Thu, 1 Apr 2004 12:05:50 +1000
  	From: David McCullough <davidm@snapgear.com>
  	To: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
  	Cc: Alexandre Oliva <aoliva@redhat.com>, uclibc@uclibc.org
  	Subject: Re: [uClibc] mmaps for malloc should be private
  	Message-ID: <20040401020550.GG3150@beast>
  
  The revised rules are:
  
   (1) Anonymous mappings can be shared or private, read or write.
  
   (2) Chardevs can be mapped shared, provided they supply a get_unmapped_area()
       file operation and use that to set the address of the mapping (as a frame
       buffer driver might do, for instance).
  
   (3) Files (and blockdevs) cannot be mapped shared since it is not really
       possible to honour this by writing any changes back to the backing device.
  
   (4) Files (or sections thereof) can be mapped read-only private, in which case
       the mapped bit will be read into memory and shared, and its address will
       be returned. Any excess beyond EOF will be cleared.
  
   (5) Files (or sections thereof) can be mapped writable private, in which case
       a private copy of the mapped bit will be read into a new bit memory, and
       its address will be returned. Any excess beyond EOF will be cleared.
  
  Mappings are per MM structure still. You can only unmap what you've mapped.
  
  Fork semantics are irrelevant, since there's no fork.
  
  A global list of VMA's is maintained to keep track of the bits of memory
  currently mapped on the system.
  
  The new binfmt makes use of (4) to implement shared libraries.

  [PATCH] kill off highmem_start_page
  
  People love to do comparisons with highmem_start_page.  However, where
  CONFIG_HIGHMEM=y and there is no actual highmem, there's no real page at
  *highmem_start_page.
  
  That's usually not a problem, but CONFIG_NONLINEAR is a bit more strict and
  catches the bogus address tranlations. 
  
  There are about a gillion different ways to find out of a 'struct page' is
  highmem or not.  Why not just check page_flags?  Just use PageHighMem()
  wherever there used to be a highmem_start_page comparison.  Then, kill off
  highmem_start_page.
  
  This removes more code than it adds, and gets rid of some nasty
  #ifdefs in .c files.

  [PATCH] GP-REL data support
  
  The attached patch makes it possible to support gp-rel addressing for small
  variables.  Since the FR-V cpu's have fixed-length instructions and plenty of
  general-purpose registers, one register is nominated as a base for the small
  data area.  This makes it possible to use single-insn accesses to access
  global and static variables instead of having to use multiple instructions.
  
  This, however, causes problems with small variables used to pinpoint the
  beginning and end of sections.  The compiler assumes it can use gp-rel
  addressing for these, but the linker then complains because the displacement
  is out of range.
  
  By declaring certain variables as arrays or by forcing them into named
  sections, the compiler is persuaded to access them as if they can be outside
  the displacement range.  Declaring the variables as "const void" type also
  works.

  More tidying up.

  the remaining two into global variables.

  [PATCH] Remove Randomness in Selecting NAT IP Address
  
  We currently choose a "random" IP address to NAT to, where we have a
  range.  Martin Josefsson pointed out that he uses the SAME target in
  iptables because changing IP addresses breaks Internet banking sites
  (among others) which assume the customer will be coming from a
  consistent IP address.
  
  In fact, we spend a fair bit of effort trying to balance the number of
  connections we NAT to each IP address.  We can come pretty damn close
  just hashing the source and destination IP addresses, and it has the
  consistency property which is so desirable, as well as being faster.

  On NF_IP_LOCAL_OUT or NF_IP_PRE_ROUTING, if destination NAT is not
  sufficient to create a unique tuple, we try changing the source port

  When we finally confirm the connection, if the tuple is still not
  unique the packet will be dropped (this is required anyway as we could
  race: the conntrack is not placed in the hash until the packet is
  about to leave the box anyway).

  [PATCH] Remove NAT to multiple ranges
  
  The NAT code has the concept of multiple ranges: you can say "map this
  connection onto IP 192.168.1.2 - 192.168.1.4, 192.168.1.7 ports
  1024-65535, and 192.168.1.10".  I implemented this because we could.
  
  But it's not actually *used* by many (any?) people, and you can
  approximate this by a random match (from patch-o-matic) if you really
  want to.  It adds complexity to the code.

  nfsim now generates non-linear packets: when run under valgrind it
  finds linear assumptions very nicely.  This is the second thing I
  tried, and it found a real bug.
  
  In this case, checking the UDP checksum is correct, but overkill, and

  [ARM] Fix slab corruption issues triggered with pud_t integration.
  
  When the page tables are wrapped from 4 levels to 2 levels, the new
  MM code requires PMD_SHIFT to match PUD_SHIFT, which must also
  match PGDIR_SHIFT.  If PMD_SHIFT is smaller than PUD_SHIFT, we risk
  freeing a still-in-use table (== page) which can then get re-used
  for the slab cache.
  
  Testing and inspection shows that there isn't any real benefit from
  keeping PMD_SHIFT set to 20.
  
  In addition, add some comments concerning the granularity of
  alloc_init_section() and fix a missing PMD assignment in the
  rebooting code.  Somehow we managed to get away with that, although
  it is actually wrong.  Maybe I've just been lucky until now.

   The initial implementation of NFS direct reads was entirely synchronous.
   The direct read logic issued one NFS READ operation at a time, and waited
   for the server's reply before issuing the next one.  For large direct

   This patch changes the NFS direct read path to dispatch NFS READ operations
   for a single direct read request in parallel and wait for them once.  The
   direct read path is still synchronous in nature, but because the NFS READ
   operations are going in parallel, the completion wait should be much shorter.

  NFSv2/v3/v4: ESTALE should not be a permanent condition on directories.
  
  Although it usually means that someone has deleted a file on the server,
  the ESTALE error may also indicate that the sysadmin has used exportfs to
  deny our client access to the server. Most NFS implementations therefore
  consider it a non-permanent condition, and allow inodes to "recover" when
  the sysadmin re-enables access.
  If, however, you want to work with broken servers, like unfsd, that reuse
  filehandles for new files after the original file gets deleted, then
  "recovery" is impossible, since it may be that the filehandle now points
  to a different file. Note that this is broken server behaviour that may
  happen even without us ever seeing the ESTALE error.
  In order to minimize (but we can never eliminate entirely) this race
  condition on unfsd servers, Linux has traditionally made ESTALE a
  permanent condition on all filehandles except the root filehandle.
  
  The problem is that if we apply this strict staleness criterion to
  directories (particularly so for he current directory), then all
  processes will need to re-walk the path starting from the mount point,
  in order to recover from the sysadmin intervention case. As this is not
  usual on other *NIX implementations, and may in any case be undermined by
  caching rules etc, this is being seen as a usability problem.
  
  This patch makes ESTALE a non-permanent condition on directories, but
  preserves the current behaviour for non-directories.

  [PATCH] s390: SCLP device driver cleanup
  
  From: Peter Oberparleiter <peter.oberparleiter@de.ibm.com>
  
  sclp: core driver cleanup
  
  Details:
  - moved signal shutdown (quiesce) handling into a separate file
  - cleanup of SCLP core driver:
    . introduced driver states instead of bits
    . introduced request retry count and retry limit
    . sclp_add_request now returns an error code if a request couldn't be started
    . introduced separate request structure for init_mask requests to simplify
      code
    . request timer is now manually checked in sclp_sync_wait because timer
      interrupts are disabled in this context
    . removed busy timer - request timer now handles both cases
    . split up sclp_start_request into __sclp_start_request and sclp_process
      queue
    . removed sclp_error_message (unused)
    . introduced sclp_check_handler function to split up initial init mask
      test from standard init mask request processing
    . introduced sclp_deactivate and sclp_reactivate for simplified reboot
      event handling (and potential use in suspend/resume scenario)
    . added protection against multiple concurrent init mask calls
  - minor changes in SCLP core driver:
    . updated comments
    . renamed functions to be consistent with "function name starts with __ =>
      needs lock"
    . renamed internal functions for consistency reasons
    . introduced inlined helper functions to simplify code
    . moved EXPORT_SYMBOL definitions next to function definition
  - changes in sclp console driver
    . removed callback recursion to prevent stack overflow
  - changes to CPI module
    . added check for sclp_add_request return code
    . changed printks to specify a message level
  - changes to generic sclp tty layer
    . removed timed buffer retry after error (timers may not work in some
      situations)
    . introduced return code for sclp_emit_buffer
  - changes to sclp tty driver
    . removed callback recursion
  - changes to sclp vt220 driver
    . removed callback recursion
    . removed timed buffer retry after error
  - modified sclp_init_mask to prevent problems with some compiler versions

  This implements using the new ptrace option SYSEMU_SINGLESTEP in UML

  To have a fast selection of the appropriate ptrace option to use next,
  a 2 dimensional arry is used and singlestepping() is modified to return

      0 = don't do singlestepping
      1 = singlestep a syscall
      2 = singlestep a "non syscall" instruction
  
  In do_syscall() writing of the syscall number is supressed, if the
  advanced sysemu is in use (that does it itself).

  [PATCH] uml: Fix setting of TIF_SIGPENDING
  
  From: Bodo Stroesser <bstroesser@fujitsu-siemens.com>
  
  My older patch, that sets TIF_SIGPENDING after an ptrace-interception
  in syscall_trace() is wrong.
  Some syscalls want to be called without any signal pending. If a signal
  is pending on syscall-entry, they immediately return with -ERESTARTNOINTR.
  Thus, on return to user, the pending signals can be processed and the
  kernel will lower eip by 2 to have the syscall restarted after that.
  Since my change sets TIF_SIGPENDING on the entry and exit interception,
  stracing such a syscall looped! Try "strace ls" to see what happens.
  Fix: set TIF_SIGPENDING on the exit interception only. This avoids the
  loop and is enough for security.

  [PATCH] uml: system call restart fixes
  
  From: Bodo Stroesser
  
  The implementation of sys_sigreturn() and sys_rt_sigreturn() in UML
  must be changed.
  This is necessary, since the return value of sys_*_sigreturn()
  is the value of eax in the thread, that was interrupted by the
  signal handler. If accidentaly eax contains -ERESTART_*, orig_eax
  *must* be -1 to avoid syscall restart processing in kern_do_signal().
  If orig_eax is >=0, eip might be lowered by 2, the process will fail.
  In UML PT_REGS_SYSCALL_NR() or UPT_SYSCALL_NR() have to be used
  instead of orig_eax.
  
  While writing and testing an exploit for this, I saw that for most
  interrupts, the syscall number is undefined. So even on a return from
  interrupt a wrong syscall restart handling could happen.
  
  And also: UML resumes a process with ptrace(PTRACE_SYSCALL/SYSEMU/SINGLESTEP
  when a syscall in UML in SKAS mode has been processed. But since there
  is a valid syscall number in the host's orig_eax, the host could do
  a wrong syscall restarting if the syscall in UML was a sigreturn() returning
  -ERESTART* To avoid this, in SKAS -1 should be written to regs.orig_eax
  before restore_registers().

  [PATCH] uml: kill host processes properly
  
  This patch changes how UML kills ptraced processes in order to be more
  correct in the presence of the ptrace changes in 2.6.9.  It used to be that
  ptrace stopped processes could simply be killed and they would go away.  Now,
  there's a new run state for ptraced processes which doesn't receive signals
  until they are PTRACE_KILLed or PTRACE_CONTinued.  So, this patch kills the
  process, as usual, then PTRACE_KILL and PTRACE_CONT.  This is done in
  os_kill_ptrace_process() for use from skas mode, and in tracer() when it
  sees a child process getting a SIGKILL.

  [PATCH] uml: make vsyscall page into process page tables
  
  From: Bodo Stroesser
  
  To make the vsyscall-page available for copy_from_user() and
  ptrace(), we should use kernel's "gate-vma" mechanism.
  Therefore we need a valid page structure. To have this, one
  page (or more) is allocated at boot time, the contents of the
  vsyscall-page is copied into this page and the page's pte is
  inserted in swapper's pagetables.
  Now it will be copied into the pagetables of all processes.
  
  Note: this alone doesn't work, since FIXADDR_USER_START and
        FIXADDR_USER_END are not yet defined correctly. Also
        access_ok_skas() does not yet grant read accesses to
        pages not in the normal user area.
  
  Risks:
  Please check the first hunk! I don't know, whether this change is OK.
  Maybe fixrange_init() is wrong anyway with 3-level-pagetables?
  
  Here access_ok_skas() and FIXADDR_USER_XXXX are fixed.
  Now everything should work fine, while the processes are
  running. But if a process crashes, the vsyscall-page will
  not be dumped.

  [PATCH] uml: add elf vsyscall support
  
  From: Bodo Stroesser
  
  This is the first patch of a series of four.
  These patches allow the use of sysenter-systemcalls in UML
  if the host support sysenter.
  Some facts have to be noted:
  - the sysenter instruction does not save anything, not even the
    return address. Thus the host-kernel builds a stackframe with an
    fixed return address for the backjump to the vsyscall-page. All
    kernels that support sysenter thus must have a vsyscall-page
  - The hosts vsyscall-page is visible in all memory-contexts on the
    host, even in those of the processes running on UML. This cannot
    be changed.
  So the best way to implement sysenter is to integrate the host's
  vsyscall-page into UML, if available.
  
  This patch creates a new source file containing an UML
  initialization function. The function scans the Elf-auxiliary vector
  that is prepared by the host for relevant information about:
  - vsyscall elf-header
  - vsyscall entry
  - machine type (called "platform", e.g. "i586" or "i686")
  - hardware capabilities
  These informations are inserted into the Elf-auxiliary-vector that is
  generated if an UML process calls "execXX()". If the information from
  the auxiliray-vector is not complete, UML uses the previos default
  values, with one exception: if the host has no vsyscall-page, UML now
  does no longer insert AT_SYSINFO or AT_SYSINFO_EHDR elements. (I think,
  that's better than writing dummies)
  
  Since the host's vsyscall-page is always visible to UML processes, this
  change is enough to let UML with an i686-compiled glibc use sysenter.
  
  what's missing:
  - is_syscall() in SKAS cannot access the code in the vsyscall-page via
    copy_from_user(), thus singlesteppers still could break out. (Note:
    that's not new, if someone jumps willingly to the sysenter-entry in
    the vsyscall-page, he can do that without the patch, too).
  - a debugger cannot access the code in the vsyscall-page via
    ptrace( PEEKTEXT, ...)
  
  Risks:
  could there by any feature of the host's processor, that is indicated in
  the hardware capabilities, but must not be used in UML?

  Fix some bugs left in the failure path of run_helper by the previous patch:

  which is conditional.  To use the goto handling model, I set the fd to -1

  Also do some cosmethic cleanup:
  
  * "err" was what we returned even on success, so just use a neutral "ret".
  
  * use tabs, not spaces.
  
  * a little more comments.

  [PATCH] uml: terminal cleanup
  
  This is a major cleanup of the uml terminal drivers and console handling
  (console as in "where the kernel messages go to", not as in "linux
  virtual terminals").  The changes in detail:
  
   (1) There is a new console driver calles "stderr" which (as the name
       implies) simply dumps all kernel messages to stderr.  That one
       is registered very early in the boot process via console_initcall()
       and will print every almost kernel message instantly: Both very
       early in the boot process and very late in shutdown.
       Note that this is not enabled by default, see below for details.
  
   (2) Ditched the early-console-init hackery in stdio_console.c
       (open_console(NULL) + related stuff) into the waste basket, not
       needed any more as you can use the new stderr console driver to
       get the kernel messages if your kernel crashes very early in the
       boot process.
  
   (3) Handle console initialitation for the uml stdio console and
       virtual serial lines the normal way using the console->setup()
       function.  Now all kernel messages appear on your console device
       once it is initialized without any dirty tricks.
  
   (4) The (2) changes allow a number of further cleanups:  As we don't
       open a line without a tty_struct any more we can ...
        * hook struct line into tty->driver_data
        * pass around tty_struct instead of struct line everythere
        * get rid of some trivial wrappers in ssl.c and stdio_console.c
          because we can get struct line via tty_struct all the time now.
  
   (5) Change the ordering in the arch/um/drivers/Makefile and thus
       the link and initialization order to make sure the stdio console
       and not the virtual serial line is the default console device.
  
   (6) Fixed a number of Documentation/CodingStyle issues within the
       code (not systematically, but usually just the places I was
       touching anyway or where it bugged me while browsing the code
       because it was hard to read).
  
  Looks like that cleanup also fixed some strange tty issues I've seen in
  the past (like console getty not responding to input sometimes, suse's
  /sbin/blogd causing trouble).
  
  Finally some usage notes for using the new stderr console:
  
  If the stderr console is enabled, then it is the default console device
  because it registeres very early in the boot process.  But as it isn't
  linked to a tty device this makes init unhappy, you'll see "can't open
  initial console" error messages.  Because you usually don't want that
  the stderr console is turned off by default.  That also maintains the
  behavior that /dev/tty0 is the first console device registered and thus
  the default console.
  
  There are basically two useful use cases for the stderr console:
  
   (1) Your kernel dies before the normal console device is initialized
       and thus you don't see any messages.  Just enable the stderr
       console to see them by adding "stderr=1" to the kernel command line.
  
   (2) You want to have the kernel messages on both stderr and your
       console terminal device.  Try something like this:
  
  	$ ./linux stderr=1 console=stderr console=ttyS0 ssl0=xterm
  
       This example sets up the console on a virtual serial line and
       pops up an xterm for that.

  [PATCH] hostfs: uml: add some other pagecache methods
  
  This is a follow-up to my previous "hostfs - uml: set .sendfile to
  generic_file_sendfile" patch. I was asking whether other methods should have
  been added, and comparing with ext3 I found some more ones.
  
  However, I have not specific clues about them: I know they use the pagecache,
  which relies on *page methods, which are defined by hostfs. So I think it
  could work.
  
  I have a doubt, whether hostfs needs the commented out method below:
  
  static struct address_space_operations hostfs_aops = {
  	.writepage 	= hostfs_writepage,
  	.readpage	= hostfs_readpage,
  /* 	.set_page_dirty = __set_page_dirty_nobuffers, */
  	.prepare_write	= hostfs_prepare_write,
  	.commit_write	= hostfs_commit_write
  };
  
  Hostfs does not have a underlying device (and I have some rough idea that
  buffers cache block devices data), so I wonder if that is needed or not.

  [PATCH] uml: unregister signal handlers at reboot
  
  From: Bodo Stroesser <bstroesser@fujitsu-siemens.com>
  
  In most cases reboot failed on my system.  After "Restarting system.", UML
  exited without further messages.  I found an SIGIO being processed by
  sig_handler() resp.  sig_handler_common_skas().  Don't know, why this exits,
  maybe the context is no longer valid at this time.  So, I changed the sequence
  in the reboot part of main() to stop the timers and disable the fds before
  unblocking the signals.  Since this wasn't enough, I also added
  set_handler(SIGXXX, SIG_IGN) calls to disable_timer() and
  deactivate_all_fds().  Now reboot works fine in SKAS and it still works in TT.

  [PATCH] uml: redo the signal delivery mechanism
  
  This patch rips out the old signal delivery mechanism and replaces it with a
  sane one.
  
  Specifically, UML used to capture a host signal frame and use it as a template
  for its own signal frames.  This was a worthy idea, because it promised a
  degree of architecture-independence for this part of UML, but impractical. 
  There are some environments, notably 32 bit emulation on a 64 bit box, where
  you can't use the host signal frame as a template for your own.  Plus, this
  code is as complicated, even to someone who understands what it's doing, as
  the standard fill-in-a-structure-and-write-it-to-the-stack.  For everyone
  else, it is incomprehensible.
  
  So, this reimplements signal handling in the way that everyone else does.  It
  gives up on architecture independence, and moves this code into the
  x86-specific stuff.

  [PATCH] uml: remove most devfs_mk_symlink calls
  
  Remove uses of devfs_mk_symlink().
  
  We didn't do this before to avoid breaking most user setups, but this patch
  should be quite harmless.
  
  I've excluded the hottest part, i.e.  the ubd symlink, while removing the
  other; I released a end-user tree with this patch and there was a good number
  of people using the symlink rather than the preferred name.  That part will be
  merged later, I think.
  
  Since now we have evidence of less and less users using devfs, we think that
  it will not cause too much problems.

  [PATCH] m32r: Make kernel headers for mutual  exclusion
  
  Here is a patch to update kernel headers for mutual exclusion,
  atomic.h, bitops.h and semaphore.h of m32r.
  This patch is for making these headers publishable to userland.
  
  	* include/asm-m32r/assembler.h (M32R_LOCK, M32R_UNLOCK):
  	  Define M32R_LOCK and M32R_UNLOCK macros. For SMP configuration,
  	  these macros are expanded to m32r's LOCK and UNLOCK instructions.
  	  While, for UP configuration, these are simply expanded to m32r's
  	  LD(load) and ST(store) instructions, respectively.
  
  	* include/asm-m32r/atomic.h, include/asm-m32r/bitops.h,
  	  include/asm-m32r/semaphore.h:
  	  - Change macros from LOAD and STORE to M32R_LOCK and M32R_UNLOCK,
  	    respectively.  It is because LOAD and STORE are too generic words.
  	  - Change inline to __inline__.
  	    Retrieve __inline__ modifiers for functions which are placed
  	    outside of __KERNEL__ region in these headers, because those
  	    functions might be included and used from ISO C program in
  	    userland.
  
  Currently, it seems that these headers are allowed to be included from
  userland.  Indeed, they are kernel stuff, but these headers provide
  useful definitions and functions even for userland applications, I think.

  [PATCH] typeof(dev->power.saved_state)
  
  arch/arm/common/sa1111.c: In function `sa1111_suspend':
  arch/arm/common/sa1111.c:816: warning: assignment from incompatible pointer type
  
  This is a rather annoying, and IMHO pointless warning.  First question:
  what is the reasoning for using an array of unsigned bytes here?  Are we
  expecting to power manage devices which only have byte wide registers?
  
  In reality, devices have half-word and word sized registers as well, which
  means that dev->power.saved_state actually points to device specific data
  (or even device driver specific data) for the device.  As such, it makes
  far more sense for this to be a 'void *'.
  
  I'd rather not go around the ARM kernel tree adding pointless casts to 'u8
  *' and back again because the wrong type for this was picked in the
  structure definition, so here's a patch which changes this to void *.

  same to license managers so that they count dual cores only as a single
  physical CPU.

  [PATCH] x86_64: Add SRAT NUMA discovery to x86-64.
  
  Add SRAT NUMA discovery to x86-64.
  
  Previously the NUMA nodes on Opteron systems were directly read from the
  hardware registers of the northbridge.
  
  This version also supports reading it from the more generic ACPI SRAT table.
  This allows to support NUMA on all kinds of systems and in general gives more
  flexibility, but needs a bit of BIOS support.
  
  This implementation was not done before because the SRAT specification had a
  bad license from Microsoft that didn't allow to implement it on other OS.  Now
  that ACPI 3.0 is released and SRAT is part of it that isn't a concern anymore.
  
  One side effect of this is that holes not described in SRAT (e.g.  usually the
  640K DOS and 4GB PCI memory holes) will not included in the nodes and won't
  get mem_map entries allocated.  This may have side effects for some drivers.
  
  Some support for handling dual core AMD CPUs is included.
  
  SLIT parsing is done in a later patch.  Depends on earlier patches to split up
  the ACPI boot parsing and to add better CMP support on x86-64.
  
  Can be disabled with numa=noacpi

  [PATCH] x86_64: Split ACPI boot table parsing
  
  Split ACPI boot table parsing
  
  Split ACPI boot table parsing into two parts.  First a acpi_boot_table_init()
  call that initializes the basic ACPI table parsing machinery and discovers the
  RSDP, and then another call to actually parse the various boot tables.
  
  This is needed for a followon patch that implements SRAT support, because
  nodes need to be set up before the other ACPI tables can be parsed.
  
  On x86-64 I moved the early initialization very early because that is needed
  for the SRAT parser.
  
  On i386 it should be a nop.

  Second attempt to try to fix an long standing NX bug in change_page_attr.
  Hopefully this version will be better.
  
  The kernel text mapping aliases part of the physical memory and needs its
  caching attributes changed too.  But when doing this one has to be very
  careful to handle the NX bit correctly.

  bootloader (which isn't that uncommon in OS upgrade situations).

  [PATCH] Cyrix MII cpuid returns stale %ecx
  
  This patch is for the following bug, thanks to Ondrej Zary for reporting,
  testing and submitting a patch.
  
  http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3767
  
  It appears that the Cyrix MII won't touch %ecx at all resulting in stale
  data being returned as extended attributes, so clear ecx before issuing the
  cpuid.  I have also made the capability print code display all the
  capability words for easier debugging in future.

  [PATCH] x86: remove data-header and code overlap in boot/setup.S
  
  The setup.S data and code is not cleanly separated.  The current space
  reserved for setup header is not enough to fit the complete header.  As a
  result, part of the header (EDDBUF) will overwrite the initial code.
  
  I haven't seen any negative impact of this bug.  As, by the time the setup
  code is overwritten, we would have finished executing it anyway.  But, I
  think it is better to separate the header and code and prevent this
  data_overwriting_the_code condition.
  
  The atatched patch adds some space in the header to fit all the data listed
  in Documentation/i386/zero-page.txt for both i386 and x86_64 (and updates
  zero-page.txt).

  [PATCH] Assign PKMAP_BASE dynamically
  
  Badari hit a problem when configuring PAE off (ie CONFIG_4G) where the
  pkmap area could end up overlapping the fixmap area.  For some reason,
  PKMAP_BASE was defined statically, which seems rather pointless, and asking
  for trouble.  Patch below definines it dynamically, under the fixmap area.

  FIXADDR_TOP
  			fixed_addresses
  FIXADDR_START
  			temp fixed addresses
  FIXADDR_BOOT_START
  			Persistent kmap area

  [PATCH] ppc64: tweaks to ppc64 cpu sysfs information
  
  Currently the ppc64 sysfs code registers an entry for each possible cpu in
  sysfs, rather than just online cpus.  That makes sense, since the sysfs
  entries are needed to control onlining of the cpus.  However, this is done
  even if CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is not set, or if it is not a hotplug capable
  (DLPAR) machine, which is a bit misleading.  Secondly it also registers all
  the other sysfs entries (mostly performance monitoring controls) on all
  possible cpus, although they are quite meaningless on non-online cpus.
  
  This patch alters the code to only register sysfs directories at boot for
  cpus which are either online or could be onlined (cpu is possible, and
  CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU and an lpar machine).  Furthermore, the entries apart
  from 'online' itself and 'physical_id' are only registered for online CPUs
  (and deregistered again if a cpu goes offline).

  Kprobes (Kernel dynamic probes) is a lightweight mechanism for kernel
  modules to insert probes into a running kernel, without the need to modify
  the underlying source.  The probe handlers can then be coded to log

  at:
  
  http://www-124.ibm.com/developerworks/oss/linux/projects/kprobes/
  
  Jprobes (or jumper probes) is a small infrastructure to access function
  arguments.  It can be used by defining a small stub with the same template
  as the routine in kernel, within which the required parameters can be
  logged.

  [PATCH] PPC debug setcontext syscall implementation.
  
  Add a debugging interface for PowerPC that allows signal handlers (or any
  jump to a context, really) to perform debug functions.  It allows the a
  user program to turn on single-stepping, for instance, and the thread will
  get a trap after executing the next instruction.  It can also (on supported
  PPC processors) turn on branch tracing and get a trap after the next branch
  instruction is executed.  This is useful for in-application debugging.
  
  Note that you can enable single-stepping on x86 processors directly from
  signal handlers.  Newer x86 processors have the equivalent of a
  branch-trace bit in the IA32_DEBUGCTL MSR and could have similar function
  to this syscall.  Most other processors could benefit from a similar
  interface, except for ARM which is extraordinarily broken for debugging.
  
  Future uses of this could be adding the ability to set the hardware
  breakpoint registers from a signal handler.

  [PATCH] netfilter: Fix ip_ct_selective_cleanup(), and rename ip_ct_iterate_cleanup()
  
  Several places use ip_ct_selective_cleanup() as a general iterator, which it
  was not intended for (it takes a const ip_conntrack *).  So rename it, and
  make it take a non-const argument.
  
  Also, it missed unconfirmed connections, which aren't in the hash table.  This
  introduces a potential problem for users which expect to iterate all

  In general, for each hash, we check at the early allocation point whether
  hash distribution is enabled, and if so we defer allocation.  At the late
  allocation point we perform the allocation if it was not earlier deferred. 
  These late allocation points are the same points utilized prior to the
  addition of alloc_large_system_hash to the kernel.

  [PATCH] alloc_large_system_hash: NUMA interleaving
  
  NUMA systems running current Linux kernels suffer from substantial inequities
  in the amount of memory allocated from each NUMA node during boot.  In
  particular, several large hashes are allocated using alloc_bootmem, and as
  such are allocated contiguously from a single node each.
  
  This becomes a problem for certain workloads that are relatively common on
  big-iron HPC NUMA systems.  In particular, a number of MPI and OpenMP
  applications which require nearly all available processors in the system and
  nearly all the memory on each node run into difficulties.  Due to the uneven
  memory distribution onto a few nodes, any thread on those nodes will require a
  portion of its memory be allocated from remote nodes.  Any access to those
  memory locations will be slower than local accesses, and thereby slows down
  the effective computation rate for the affected CPUs/threads.  This problem is
  further amplified if the application is tightly synchronized between threads
  (as is often the case), as they entire job can run only at the speed of the
  slowest thread.
  
  Additionally since these hashes are usually accessed by all CPUS in the
  system, the NUMA network link on the node which hosts the hash experiences
  disproportionate traffic levels, thereby reducing the memory bandwidth
  available to that node's CPUs, and further penalizing performance of the
  threads executed thereupon.
  
  As such, it is desired to find a way to distribute these large hash
  allocations more evenly across NUMA nodes.  Fortunately current kernels do
  perform allocation interleaving for vmalloc() during boot, which provides a
  stepping stone to a solution.
  
  This series of patches enables (but does not require) the kernel to allocate
  several boot time hashes using vmalloc rather than alloc_bootmem, thereby
  causing the hashes to be interleaved amongst NUMA nodes.  In particular the
  dentry cache, inode cache, TCP ehash, and TCP bhash have been changed to be
  allocated in this manner.  Due to the limited vmalloc space on architectures
  such as i386, this behavior is turned on by default only for IA64 NUMA systems
  (though there is no reason other interested architectures could not enable it
  if desired).  Non-IA64 and non-NUMA systems continue to use the existing
  alloc_bootmem() allocation mechanism.  A boot line parameter "hashdist" can be
  set to override the default behavior.
  
  The following two sets of example output show the uneven distribution just
  after boot, using init=/bin/sh to eliminate as much non-kernel allocation as
  possible.

  While not perfectly even, we can see that there is a substantial improvement
  in the spread of memory allocated by the kernel during boot.  The remaining
  uneveness may be due in part to further boot time allocations that could be
  addressed in a similar manner, but some difference is due to the somewhat
  special nature of node 0 during boot.  However the uneveness has fallen to a
  much more acceptable level (at least to a level that SGI isn't concerned
  about).
  
  The astute reader will also notice that in this example, with this patch
  approximately 256 MB less memory was allocated during boot.  This is due to
  the size limits of a single vmalloc.  More specifically, this is because the
  automatically computed size of the TCP ehash exceeds the maximum size which a
  single vmalloc can accomodate.  However this is of little practical concern as
  the vmalloc size limit simply reduces one ridiculously large allocation
  (512MB) to a slightly less ridiculously large allocation (256MB).  In practice
  machines with large memory configurations are using the thash_entries setting
  to limit the size of the TCP ehash _much_ lower than either of the
  automatically computed values.  Illustrative of the exceedingly large nature
  of the automatically computed size, SGI currently recommends that customers
  boot with thash_entries=2097152, which works out to a 32MB allocation.  In any
  case, setting hashdist=0 will allow for allocations in excess of vmalloc
  limits, if so desired.
  
  Other than the vmalloc limit, great care was taken to ensure that the size of
  TCP hash allocations was not altered by this patch.  Due to slightly different
  computation techniques between the existing TCP code and
  alloc_large_system_hash (which is now utilized), some of the magic constants
  in the TCP hash allocation code were changed.  On all sizes of system (128MB
  through 64GB) that I had access to, the patched code preserves the previous
  hash size, as long as the vmalloc limit (256MB on IA64) is not encountered.
  
  There was concern that changing the TCP-related hashes to use vmalloc space
  may adversely impact network performance.  To this end the netperf set of
  benchmarks was run.  Some individual tests seemed to benefit slightly, some
  seemed to be harmed slightly, but in all cases the average difference with and
  without these patches was well within the variabilty I would see from run to
  run.
  
  The following is the overall netperf averages (30 10 second runs each) against
  an older kernel with these same patches.  These tests were run over loopback
  as GigE results were so inconsistent run to run both with and without these
  patches that they provided no meaningful comparison that I could discern.  I
  used the same kernel (IA64 generic) for each run, simply varying the new
  "hashdist" boot parameter to turn on or off the new allocation behavior.  In
  all cases the thash_entries value was manually specified as discussed
  previously to eliminate any variability that might result from that size
  difference.
  
  HP ZX1, hashdist=0
  ==================
  TCP_RR = 19389
  TCP_MAERTS = 6561 
  TCP_STREAM = 6590 
  TCP_CC = 9483
  TCP_CRR = 8633 
  
  HP ZX1, hashdist=1
  ==================
  TCP_RR = 19411
  TCP_MAERTS = 6559 
  TCP_STREAM = 6584 
  TCP_CC = 9454
  TCP_CRR = 8626 
  
  SGI Altix, hashdist=0
  =====================
  TCP_RR = 16871
  TCP_MAERTS = 3925 
  TCP_STREAM = 4055 
  TCP_CC = 8438
  TCP_CRR = 7750 
  
  SGI Altix, hashdist=1
  =====================
  TCP_RR = 17040
  TCP_MAERTS = 3913 
  TCP_STREAM = 4044 
  TCP_CC = 8367
  TCP_CRR = 7538 
  
  I believe the TCP_CC and TCP_CRR are the tests most sensitive to this
  particular change.  But again, I want to emphasize that even the differences
  you see above are _well_ within the variability I saw from run to run of any
  given test.
  
  In addition, Jose Santos at IBM has run specSFS, which has been particularly
  sensitive to TLB issues, against these patches and saw no performance
  degredation (differences down in the noise).
  
  
  
  This patch:
  
  Modifies alloc_large_system_hash to enable the use of vmalloc to alleviate
  boottime allocation imbalances on NUMA systems.
  
  Due to limited vmalloc space on some architectures (i.e.  x86), the use of
  vmalloc is enabled by default only on NUMA IA64 kernels.  There should be
  no problem enabling this change for any other interested NUMA architecture.

  [PATCH] collect page_states only from online cpus
  
  I noticed the function __read_page_state() curiously high in a q-tools
  profile of a write to a software raid0 device.  Seems this is because we're
  checking page_states for all possible cpus and we have NR_CPUS possible
  when CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y.  The default config for ia64 is now NR_CPUS=512,
  so on a little 8-way box, this is a significant waste of time.  The patch
  below updates __read_page_state() and __get_page_state() to only count
  page_state info for online cpus.  To keep the stats consistent, the
  page_alloc notifier is updated to move page_states off of the cpu going
  offline.  On my profile, this dropped __read_page_state() back into the
  noise and boosted block write performance by 5% (as measured by spew -
  http://spew.berlios.de).

  [PATCH] mark_page_accessed() for read()s on non-page boundaries
  
  When reading a (partial) page from disk using read(), the kernel only marks
  the page as "accessed" if the read started at a page boundary.  This means
  that files that are accessed randomly at non-page boundaries (usually
  database style files) will not be cached properly.
  
  The patch below uses the readahead state instead.  If a page is read(), it
  is marked as "accessed" if the previous read() was for a different page,
  whatever the offset in the page.
  
  Testing results:
  
  
  - Boot kernel with mem=128M
  
  - create a testfile of size 8 MB on a partition. Unmount/mount.
  
  - then generate about 10 MB/sec streaming writes
  
  	for i in `seq 1 1000`
  	do
  		dd if=/dev/zero of=junkfile.$i bs=1M count=10
  		sync
  		cat junkfile.$i > /dev/null
  		sleep 1
  	done
  
  - use an application that reads 128 bytes 64000 times from a
    random offset in the 64 MB testfile.
  
  1. Linux 2.6.10-rc3 vanilla, no streaming writes:
  
  # time ~/rr testfile
  Read 128 bytes 64000 times
  ~/rr testfile  0.03s user 0.22s system 5% cpu 4.456 total

  ~/rr testfile  0.03s user 0.21s system 2% cpu 10.273 total
  
  3. Linux 2.6.10-rc3 with read-page-access.patch , streaming writes:
  
  # time ~/rr testfile
  Read 128 bytes 64000 times
  ~/rr testfile  0.02s user 0.21s system 3% cpu 7.634 total
  # time ~/rr testfile
  Read 128 bytes 64000 times
  ~/rr testfile  0.04s user 0.22s system 2% cpu 9.588 total
  # time ~/rr testfile
  Read 128 bytes 64000 times

  # time ~/rr testfile
  Read 128 bytes 64000 times
  ~/rr testfile  0.03s user 0.13s system 98% cpu 0.163 total
  
  As expected, with the read-page-access.patch, the kernel keeps the 8 MB
  testfile cached as expected, while without it, it doesn't.
  
  So this is useful for workloads where one smallish (wrt RAM) file is read
  randomly over and over again (like heavily used database indexes), while
  other I/O is going on.  Plain 2.6 caches those files poorly, if the app
  uses plain read().

  People love to do comparisons with highmem_start_page.  However, where

  That's usually not a problem, but CONFIG_NONLINEAR is a bit more strict and

  There are about a gillion different ways to find out of a 'struct page' is

  wherever there used to be a highmem_start_page comparison.  Then, kill off

  [PATCH] mm: overcommit updates
  
  Alan made overcommit mode 2 and it doesnt work at all.  A process passing
  the limit often does so at a moment of stack extension, and is killed by a
  segfault, not better than being OOM-killed.
  
  Another problem is that close to the edge no other processes can be
  started, so that a sysadmin has problems logging in and investigating.
  
  Below a patch that does 3 things:
  
  (1) It reserves a reasonable amount of virtual stack space (amount
      randomly chosen, no guarantees given) when the process is started, so
      that the common utilities will not be killed by segfault on stack
      extension.
  
  (2) It reserves a reasonable amount of virtual memory for root, so that
      root can do things when the system is out-of-memory
  
  (3) It limits a single process to 97% of what is left, so that also an
      ordinary user is able to use getty, login, bash, ps, kill and similar
      things when one of her processes got out of control.
  
  Since the current overcommit mode 2 is not really useful, I did not give
  this a new number.
  
  The patch is just for playing, not to be applied by Linus.  But, Andrew, I
  hope that you would be willing to put this in -mm so that people can
  experiment.  Of course it only does something if one sets overcommit mode
  to 2.
  
  The past month I have pressured people asking for feedback, and now have
  about a dozen reports, mostly positive, one very positive.

  [PATCH] quota umount race fix
  
  Fix possible races between umount and quota on/off.
  
  Finally I decided to take a reference to vfsmount during vfs_quota_on() and
  to drop it after the final cleanup in the vfs_quota_off().  This way we
  should be all the time guarded against umount.  This way was protected also
  the old code which used filp_open() for opening quota files.  I was also
  thinking about other ways of protection but there would be always a window
  (provided I don't want to play much with namespace locks) where
  vfs_quota_on() could be called while umount() is in progress resulting in
  the "Busy inodes after unmount" messages...
  
  Get a reference to vfsmount during quotaon() so that we are guarded against
  umount (as was the old code using filp_open()).

  [PATCH] Fix of quota deadlock on pagelock: quota core
  
  The four patches in this series fix deadlocks with quotas of pagelock (the
  problem was lock inversion on PageLock and transaction start - quota code
  needed to first start a transaction and then write the data which subsequently
  needed acquisition of PageLock while the standard ordering - PageLock first
  and transaction start later - was used e.g.  by pdflush).  They implement a
  new way of quota access to disk: Every filesystem that would like to implement
  quotas now has to provide quota_read() and quota_write() functions.  These
  functions must obey quota lock ordering (in particular they should not take
  PageLock inside a transaction).
  
  The first patch implements the changes in the quota core, the other three
  patches implement needed functions in ext2, ext3 and reiserfs.  The patch for
  reiserfs also fixes several other lock inversion problems (similar as ext3
  had) and implements the journaled quota functionality (which comes almost for
  free after the locking fixes...).
  
  The quota core patch makes quota support in other filesystems (except XFS
  which implements everything on its own ;)) unfunctional (quotaon() will refuse
  to turn on quotas on them).  When the patches get reasonable wide testing and
  it will seem that no major changes will be needed I can make fixes also for
  the other filesystems (JFS, UDF, UFS).
  
  This patch:
  
  The patch implements the new way of quota io in the quota core.  Every
  filesystem wanting to support quotas has to provide functions quota_read()
  and quota_write() obeying quota locking rules.  As the writes and reads
  bypass the pagecache there is some ugly stuff ensuring that userspace can
  see all the data after quotaoff() (or Q_SYNC quotactl).  In future I plan
  to make quota files inaccessible from userspace (with the exception of
  quotacheck(8) which will take care about the cache flushing and such stuff
  itself) so that this synchronization stuff can be removed...
  
  The rewrite of the quota core. Quota uses the filesystem read() and write()
  functions no more to avoid possible deadlocks on PageLock. From now on every
  filesystem supporting quotas must provide functions quota_read() and
  quota_write() which obey the quota locking rules (e.g. they cannot acquire the
  PageLock).

  [ALSA] Fix the wrong sign of format data entries
  
  PCM Midlevel
  Fix suggested by Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
  
  On architectures like PPC, char is handled as 'unsigned char', thus the

  Oops with OSS-emulation on such architectures.
  
  The patch simply adds the right signed/unsigned prefix to fix this problem.

  [ALSA] hwdep interface for pcm data
  
  USB,USB USX2Y
  Implements 'rawusb' pcm data transfer through hwdep interface:
  The usb_hc moves pcm data from/into memory via DMA.
  That memory is mmaped by jack's usx2y driver.
  Jack's usx2y driver is the first/last executable code to read/write pcm data.
  Read/write is a combination of power of 2 period shaping and float/int
  conversation.
  
  Compared to standard alsa/jack we leave out power of 2 period shaping
  inside snd-usb-usx2y which needs memcpy() and additional buffers.
  As a side effect possible unwanted pcm-data coruption resulting of
  standard alsa's snd-usb-usx2y period shaping scheme falls away.
  Result is sane jack operation at buffering schemes down to 128frames,
  2 periods.
  
  Also changed Kconfig file, so snd-usb-usx2y is only available for X86,
  PPC or ALPHA platforms, as on others DMA-memory isn't mmapable.

  x86 ptrace: remove long stale (and bitrotted) test for
  PT_DTRACE without PT_PTRACED.
  
  Long ago, the "D" in PT_DTRACE meant "Delayed", and it was used
  as a flag to mark that we had ptrace'd the process but no longer
  did so. That hasn't been true in a while now, and the flag should
  probably be renamed, but in the meantime the test for PT_PTRACED
  being cleared had been corrupted into something totally nonsensical.

  Extend the Linux MM to 4level page tables.
  
  This is the core patch for mm/*, fs/*, include/linux/*
  
  It breaks all architectures, which will be fixed in separate patches.
  
  The conversion is quite straight forward.  All the functions walking the page
  table hierarchy have been changed to deal with another level at the top.  The
  additional level is called pml4. 
  
  mm/memory.c has changed a lot because it did most of the heavy lifting here.

  [PATCH] replace clear_page_tables with clear_page_range
  
  Rename clear_page_tables to clear_page_range. clear_page_range takes byte
  ranges, and aggressively frees page table pages. Maybe useful to control
  page table memory consumption on 4-level architectures (and even 3 level
  ones).
  
  Possible downsides are:
  - flush_tlb_pgtables gets called more often (only a problem for sparc64
    AFAIKS).
  
  - the opportunistic "expand to fill PGDIR_SIZE hole" logic that ensures
    something actually gets done under the old system is still in place.
    This could sometimes make unmapping small regions more inefficient. There
    are some other solutions to look at if this is the case though.

  The patch adds a small helper to balance it when things go wrong.
  
  Actually the helper does not *exactly* balance the setup: if it can
  not do a better job, ide_setup_pci_controller() may only enable some
  BARS whereas the new counterpart will try to disable everything.

  [ide] propagation of error code in PCI IDE setup
  
  - Change the return value and the prototype of do_ide_setup_pci_device
    Due to lack of appropriate return status code, the current clients of
    do_ide_setup_pci_device() can not distinguish a failing invocation
    from a successfull one. The patch modify do_ide_setup_pci_device() so
    that it can propagate some of the errors from the lower layers.
  
  - Make ide_setup_pci_device() aware of the change and propagate the news
    itself. I only gave a quick sight to create_proc_ide_interfaces() (and
    ide_remove_proc_entries()) but they do seem sane and it should not matter
    if it fails or not.
  
  - ide_setup_pci_devices(): mostly the same thing than ide_setup_pci_device().
    do not look trivially suspect.

  [ARM PATCH] 2327/1: Thumb ld/st alignment fault fixups
  
  Patch from George G. Davis
  
  Adds support for Thumb ld/st alignment fault fixups via conversion of
  Thumb ld/st instruction forms into equivalent ARM instructions and
  reusing ARM alignment fault handler for Thumb instructions. This
  implementation was inspired by and initially based on the algorithm
  found in gdb/sim/arm/thumbemu.c.
  
  I've backed out the silly 'T' suffix on PC in this version as requested
  by RMK. At this point, I prefer to avoid making any of the other changes
  discussed, e.g. dump_instr() for bad instruction cases, in order to get
  the basic Thumb support change committed.
  
  Thanks!

  [ARM PATCH] 2324/1: Convert ARM proc files to use domain and pgtable manifest constants
  
  Patch from George G. Davis
  
  Convert ARM proc files to use manifest constants defined in pgtable.h
  and domain.h. This is a prelude to allow renumbering domains. The
  domain renumbering is required to implement support for ARMv6 MMU
  super sections where domain 0 is implied. Although this is technically
  only required for ARMv6, it seemed reasonable to clean up all proc
  files while here.

  [INFINIBAND]: Add IPoIB (IP-over-InfiniBand) driver
  
  Add a driver that implements the (IPoIB) IP-over-InfiniBand protocol.
  This is a network device driver of type ARPHRD_INFINIBAND (and
  addr_len INFINIBAND_ALEN bytes).
  
  The ARP/ND implementation for this driver is not completely
  straightforward, because InfiniBand requires an additional path lookup
  be performed (through an IB-specific mechanism) after a remote
  hardware address has been resolved.  We are very open to suggestions
  of a better way to handle this than the current implementation.
  
  Although IB has a special multicast group join mode intended to
  support IP multicast routing (non member join), no means to identify
  different multicast styles has yet been determined, so all joins by
  the driver are currently full member joins.  We are looking for
  guidance in how to solve this.
  
  The IPoIB protocol/encapsulation is described in the Internet-Drafts

  local agents.
  
  This is required for an SM (subnet manager) to discover and configure
  the host, since the SM's query MADs must be passed to the local SMA
  (subnet management agent).  In addition, this support is used by upper
  level protocols to send queries to and receive responses from the SM.

  [libata] verify ATAPI DMA for a given request is OK
  
  After some testing, it seems that some PATA host adapter (ex. pdc20275) cannot 
  work reliably with specific request buffer sizes under ATAPI DMA mode.
  
  Detailed test result:
  4096, 2048, 1024, 512, 256: OK
  384, 257, 255, 128, 96, 64, 32:  failed (irq lost)
   
  It seems multiple of 256 bytes are the safe ATAPI DMA buffer sizes to use.
  
  Attached please find the patch to fix the pdc2027x ATAPI DMA problem.
  
  Changes:
  1. Add a callback function "check_atapi_dma()" to ata_port_operations such that libata core
  can ask the driver: "Can this command be processed in ATAPI DMA mode safely? " 
  when the the command is received.
  2. ATAPI DMA is off by default if the callback function is not provided by the driver
  
  If the callback function is not provided by the driver, the ATAPI DMA should be as is.
  The ATAPI DMA is already controlled by dev->flags.
  
  BTW, the patch isolates the ATAPI DMA workaround to the pdc20275 driver itself,
  not impacting libata core .

  [libata] PIO error handling improvement
  
  Tested burning CD-RW with libata-dev-2.6 and cdrecord:
  1. ATAPI DMA mode - tested OK
  2. ATAPI PIO mode - test failed when cdrecord finishes burning and issues MODE_SELECT to the device.
  
   After checking the log, it showed that MODE_SELECT caused ata_pio_complete() to return error.
  However, the error is not handled by ata_pio_task().
  
  Attached please find the patch for ata_pio_task() error handling for your review.
  (The patch is against the libata-dev-2.6 tree. )
  
  Changes in the patch:
  1. End the PIO task when PIO_ST_IDLE state is entered
  2. End the PIO task after PIO_ST_TMOUT and PIO_ST_ERR state handled by ata_pio_error()
  3. Remove the first "if" statement to handle the error condition returned from 
     ata_pio_block(), ata_pio_complete() and ata_pio_poll().
  
  Change #2 is not so necessary since ata_pio_error() will put the cmd to  PIO_ST_IDLE state
  after the error condition is handled. The change just saves a function call to queue_work().
  
  Tested OK on on my machine with pdc20275 and ASUS CD-RW drive.

  SCSI: Add FC transport host attributes
  
  From: 	James.Smart@Emulex.Com
  
  This patch updates the fc_transport with attributes for local FC ports
  (e.g. Hosts).  The port attributes are defined per HBAAPI v2.0 definitions.
  
  This patch results in the following in /sys/class:

  [ARM PATCH] 2264/1: Move platform-specific code out of entry-armv.S
  
  Patch from Deepak Saxena
  
  This patch borrows from the uclinux source where they have moved
  the per-platform code for get_irqnr_and_base, disable_fiq, and
  irq_prio_table out of entry-armv.S. However, instead of putting the
  macros in arch/arm/mach-$(MACHINE)/entry-header.S, we just have
  it in the machine's incdir. This means we don't need the extra
  complexity of creating symlink at build time. The patch also removes 
  the irq_prio_table as a requirement for all machines and makes it
  specific to IOC/IOMD machines. 
    
  This patch drastically shrinks entry-armv.S and allows us to delete 
  and add machines without having to touch generic code (there were two 
  dead machines laying around in entry-armv.S).
    
  Tested on IXP4xx and test-built for just about every defconfig.

  Red Hat got some confused customers due to this message. The confused
  user case is when they update the BIOS and all of a sudden we have "no
  suitable data" yet we did before. We (Arjan van de Ven) thus changed it
  to "No new microcode" which is much much clearer.
