2979076fbf headers_install: check exit status of unifdef
If unifdef fails for any reason (like segfaulting), we should be aborting
the install steps.  So check its exit status in this unlikely scenario.

43f901fbc8 gen_init_cpio: remove leading `/' from file names
When we extracted the generated cpio archive using "cpio -id" command,
it complained,

cpio: Removing leading `/' from member names
var/run
cpio: Removing leading `/' from member names
var/lib
cpio: Removing leading `/' from member names
var/lib/misc

It is worse with the latest "cpio" or "pax", which tries to overwrite
the host file system with the leading '/'.

So the leading '/' of file names should be removed. This is consistent
with the initramfs come with major distributions such as Fedora or
Debian, etc.

8af27e1dc4 fixdep: use hash table instead of a single array
I noticed fixdep uses ~2% of cpu time in kernel build, in function
use_config()

fixdep spends a lot of cpu cycles in linear searches in its internal
string array. With about 400 stored strings per dep file, this begins to
be noticeable.

Convert fixdep to use a hash table.

ffe8018c34 initramfs: fix initramfs size calculation
The size of a built-in initramfs is calculated in init/initramfs.c by
"__initramfs_end - __initramfs_start".  Those symbols are defined in the
linker script include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h:

#define INIT_RAM_FS                                                     \
        . = ALIGN(PAGE_SIZE);                                           \
        VMLINUX_SYMBOL(__initramfs_start) = .;                          \
        *(.init.ramfs)                                                  \
        VMLINUX_SYMBOL(__initramfs_end) = .;

If the initramfs file has an odd number of bytes, the "__initramfs_end"
symbol points to an odd address, for example, the symbols in the
System.map might look like:

    0000000000572000 T __initramfs_start
    00000000005bcd05 T __initramfs_end	  <-- odd address

At least on s390 this causes a problem:

Certain s390 instructions, especially instructions for loading addresses
(larl) or branch addresses must be on even addresses.  The compiler loads
the symbol addresses with the "larl" instruction.  This instruction sets
the last bit to 0 and, therefore, for odd size files, the calculated size
is one byte less than it should be:

    0000000000540a9c <populate_rootfs>:
      540a9c:     eb cf f0 78 00 24       stmg    %r12,%r15,120(%r15),
      540aa2:     c0 10 00 01 8a af       larl    %r1,572000 <__initramfs_start>
      540aa8:     c0 c0 00 03 e1 2e       larl    %r12,5bcd04 <initramfs_end>
                                                  (Instead of  5bcd05)
      ...
      540abe:     1b c1                   sr      %r12,%r1

To fix the problem, this patch introduces the global variable
__initramfs_size, which is calculated in the "usr/initramfs_data.S" file.
The populate_rootfs() function can then use the start marker of the
.init.ramfs section and the value of __initramfs_size for loading the
initramfs.  Because the start marker and size is sufficient, the
__initramfs_end symbol is no longer needed and is removed.

80c00ba942 kbuild: allow assignment to {A,C}FLAGS_KERNEL on the command line
It is now possible to assign options to AS and CC

{A,C}FLAGS_KERNEL was used both in the top-level Makefile
in the arch makefiles, thus users had no way to specify
additional options to AS, CC without overriding
the original value.

Introduce a new set of variables KBUILD_{A,C}FLAGS_KERNEL
that is used by arch specific files and free up
{A,C}FLAGS_KERNEL so they can be assigned on
the command line.

All arch Makefiles that used the old variables has been updated.

All arch Makefiles that used the old variables has been updated.

Note: Previously we had a MODFLAGS variable for both
AS and CC. But in favour of consistency this was dropped.
So in some cases arch Makefile has one assignmnet replaced by
two assignmnets.

Note2: MODFLAGS was not documented and is dropped
without any notice. I do not expect much/any breakage
from this.

de51257aa3 mm: fix ia64 crash when gcore reads gate area
Debian's ia64 autobuilders have been seeing kernel freeze or reboot
when running the gdb testsuite (Debian bug 588574): dannf bisected to
2.6.32 62eede62da "mm: ZERO_PAGE without
PTE_SPECIAL"; and reproduced it with gdb's gcore on a simple target.

I'd missed updating the gate_vma handling in __get_user_pages(): that
happens to use vm_normal_page() (nowadays failing on the zero page),
yet reported success even when it failed to get a page - boom when
access_process_vm() tried to copy that to its intermediate buffer.

Fix this, resisting cleanups: in particular, leave it for now reporting
success when not asked to get any pages - very probably safe to change,
but let's not risk it without testing exposure.

Why did ia64 crash with 16kB pages, but succeed with 64kB pages?
Because setup_gate() pads each 64kB of its gate area with zero pages.

831e8047eb ARM: 6279/1: highmem: fix SMP preemption bug in kmap_high_l1_vipt
smp_processor_id() must not be called from a preemptible context (this
is checked by CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT).  kmap_high_l1_vipt() was doing so.
This lead to a problem where the wrong per_cpu kmap_high_l1_vipt_depth
could be incremented, causing a BUG_ON(*depth <= 0); in
kunmap_high_l1_vipt().

The solution is to move the call to smp_processor_id() after the call
to preempt_disable().

674b222292 nfs: include space for the NUL in root path
In root_nfs_name() it does the following:

        if (strlen(buf) + strlen(cp) > NFS_MAXPATHLEN) {
                printk(KERN_ERR "Root-NFS: Pathname for remote directory too long.\n");
                return -1;
        }
        sprintf(nfs_export_path, buf, cp);

In the original code if (strlen(buf) + strlen(cp) == NFS_MAXPATHLEN)
then the sprintf() would lead to an overflow.  Generally the rest of the
code assumes that the path can have NFS_MAXPATHLEN (1024) characters and

8f92054e7c CRED: Fix __task_cred()'s lockdep check and banner comment
Fix __task_cred()'s lockdep check by removing the following validation
condition:

	lockdep_tasklist_lock_is_held()

as commit_creds() does not take the tasklist_lock, and nor do most of the
functions that call it, so this check is pointless and it can prevent
detection of the RCU lock not being held if the tasklist_lock is held.

Instead, add the following validation condition:

	task->exit_state >= 0

to permit the access if the target task is dead and therefore unable to change
its own credentials.

Fix __task_cred()'s comment to:

 (1) discard the bit that says that the caller must prevent the target task
     from being deleted.  That shouldn't need saying.

 (2) Add a comment indicating the result of __task_cred() should not be passed
     directly to get_cred(), but rather than get_task_cred() should be used
     instead.

Also put a note into the documentation to enforce this point there too.

de09a9771a CRED: Fix get_task_cred() and task_state() to not resurrect dead credentials
It's possible for get_task_cred() as it currently stands to 'corrupt' a set of
credentials by incrementing their usage count after their replacement by the
task being accessed.

What happens is that get_task_cred() can race with commit_creds():

	TASK_1			TASK_2			RCU_CLEANER
	-->get_task_cred(TASK_2)
	rcu_read_lock()
	__cred = __task_cred(TASK_2)
				-->commit_creds()
				old_cred = TASK_2->real_cred
				TASK_2->real_cred = ...
				put_cred(old_cred)
				  call_rcu(old_cred)
		[__cred->usage == 0]
	get_cred(__cred)
		[__cred->usage == 1]
	rcu_read_unlock()
							-->put_cred_rcu()
							[__cred->usage == 1]
							panic()

However, since a tasks credentials are generally not changed very often, we can
reasonably make use of a loop involving reading the creds pointer and using
atomic_inc_not_zero() to attempt to increment it if it hasn't already hit zero.

If successful, we can safely return the credentials in the knowledge that, even
if the task we're accessing has released them, they haven't gone to the RCU
cleanup code.

We then change task_state() in procfs to use get_task_cred() rather than
calling get_cred() on the result of __task_cred(), as that suffers from the
same problem.

Without this change, a BUG_ON in __put_cred() or in put_cred_rcu() can be
tripped when it is noticed that the usage count is not zero as it ought to be,
for example:

ASUS P5-V provides a SSID that unexpectedly matches with the value
compilant with Realtek's specification.  Thus the driver interprets
it badly, resulting in non-working PC beep.

This patch adds a white-list for such a case; a white-list of known

b92b361213 ARM: Add barriers to io{read,write}{8,16,32} accessors as well
The ioread/iowrite accessors also need barriers as they're used in
place of readl/writel et.al. in portable drivers.  Create __iormb()
and __iowmb() which are conditionally defined to be barriers dependent
on ARM_DMA_MEM_BUFFERABLE, and always use these macros in the accessors.

79f64dbf68 ARM: 6273/1: Add barriers to the I/O accessors if ARM_DMA_MEM_BUFFERABLE
When the coherent DMA buffers are mapped as Normal Non-cacheable
(ARM_DMA_MEM_BUFFERABLE enabled), buffer accesses are no longer ordered
with Device memory accesses causing failures in device drivers that do
not use the mandatory memory barriers before starting a DMA transfer.
LKML discussions led to the conclusion that such barriers have to be
added to the I/O accessors:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/683509/focus=686153
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ide/46414
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.cross-arch/5250

This patch introduces a wmb() barrier to the write*() I/O accessors to
handle the situations where Normal Non-cacheable writes are still in the
processor (or L2 cache controller) write buffer before a DMA transfer
command is issued. For the read*() accessors, a rmb() is introduced
after the I/O to avoid speculative loads where the driver polls for a
DMA transfer ready bit.

sync, this patch avoids a recursive call into l2x0_cache_sync() via the

l2x0_lock held.
