96b8936a9e remove __ARCH_WANT_COMPAT_SYS_PTRACE
All architectures now use the generic compat_sys_ptrace, as should every
new architecture that needs 32bit compat (if we'll ever get another).

Remove the now superflous __ARCH_WANT_COMPAT_SYS_PTRACE define, and also
kill a comment about __ARCH_SYS_PTRACE that was added after
__ARCH_SYS_PTRACE was already gone.

211f05a034 input: replace spin_lock_bh with spin_lock_irqsave in ml_ff_playback
ml_ff_playback() uses spin_(un)lock_bh. However this function is called
with interrupts disabled from erase_effect() in drivers/input/ff-core.c:196.

This is not permitted, and will result in a WARN_ON in the bottom half handling code.
This patch changes this function to just use spin_lock_irqsave() instead, solving
the problem and simplifying the locking logic.

This was reported as entry #106559 in kerneloops.org

56d74dd5f7 tricky one: hisax sections
a) hisax_init_pcmcia() needs to be defined only if we have
   CONFIG_HOTPLUG (no PCMCIA support otherwise) and can be declared
   __devinit.

b) HiSax_inithardware() can go __init

c) hisax_register() is passing to checkcard() full-blown hisax_cs_setup_card():
	checkcard(i, id, NULL, hisax_d_if->owner, hisax_cs_setup_card);
   The problem with it is that
	* hisax_cs_setup_card() is __devinit
	* hisax_register() is not
	* hisax_cs_setup_card() is a switch from hell, calling a lot of
	  setup_some_weirdcard() depending on card->typ.  _These_ are also
	  __devinit.

   However, in hisax_register() we have card->typ equal to
   ISDN_CTYPE_DYNAMIC, which reduces hisax_cs_setup_card() to "nevermind
   all that crap, just do nothing and return 2".  So we add a
   trimmed-down callback doing just that and passed to checkcard() by
   hisax_register().  _This_ is non-init (we can stand the impact on
   .text size).

Voila - no section warnings from drivers/isdn

30037818f7 advansys fix on ISA-less configs
The code

        if (shost->dma_channel != NO_ISA_DMA)
                free_dma(shost->dma_channel);

in there is triggerable only if we have CONFIG_ISA (we only set ->dma_channel to
something other than NO_ISA_DMA under #ifdef CONFIG_ISA).  OTOH, free_dma() is
not guaranteed to be there in absense of CONFIG_ISA.  IOW, driver runs into
undefined symbols on PCI-but-not-ISA configs (e.g. on frv) and it's a false
positive.

Fix: put the entire if () under #ifdef CONFIG_ISA; behaviour doesn't change and
dependency on free_dma() disappears for !CONFIG_ISA.

So make sure our nr_running value is immutable and cannot change
after we check it for nonzero.

this warning:

  kernel/cpuset.c: In function ‘generate_sched_domains’:
  kernel/cpuset.c:588: warning: ‘ndoms’ may be used uninitialized in this function

triggers because GCC does not recognize that ndoms stays uninitialized
only if doms is NULL - but that flow is covered at the end of
generate_sched_domains().

Help out GCC by initializing this variable to 0. (that's prudent anyway)

Also, this function needs a splitup and code flow simplification:

23d0a65cf2 toshiba_acpi: close race in toshiba_acpi driver
the toshiba ACPI driver will, in a failure case, free the rfkill state
before stopping the polling timer that would use this state. More interesting,
in the same failure case handling, it calls the exit function, which also
frees the rfkill state, but after stopping the polling.

If the race happens, a NULL pointer is passed to rfkill_force_state()
which then causes a nice dereference.

Fix the race by just not doing the too-early freeing of the rfkill state.

This appears to be the cause of a hot issue on kerneloops.org; while I
have no solid evidence of that this patch will fix the issue, the race
appears rather real.

487ff32082 Allow architectures to override copy_user_highpage()
With aliasing VIPT cache support, the ARM implementation of
clear_user_page() and copy_user_page() sets up a temporary kernel space
mapping such that we have the same cache colour as the userspace page.
This avoids having to consider any userspace aliases from this operation.

However, when highmem is enabled, kmap_atomic() have to setup mappings.
The copy_user_highpage() and clear_user_highpage() call these functions
before delegating the copies to copy_user_page() and clear_user_page().

The effect of this is that each of the *_user_highpage() functions setup
their own kmap mapping, followed by the *_user_page() functions setting
up another mapping.  This is rather wasteful.

Thankfully, copy_user_highpage() can be overriden by architectures by
defining __HAVE_ARCH_COPY_USER_HIGHPAGE.  However, replacement of
clear_user_highpage() is more difficult because its inline definition
is not conditional.  It seems that you're expected to define
__HAVE_ARCH_ALLOC_ZEROED_USER_HIGHPAGE and provide a replacement
__alloc_zeroed_user_highpage() implementation instead.

The allocation itself is fine, so we don't want to override that.  What
we really want to do is to override clear_user_highpage() with our own
version which doesn't kmap_atomic() unnecessarily.

Other VIPT architectures (PARISC and SH) would also like to override
this function as well.

b627c8b17c x86: always define DECLARE_PCI_UNMAP* macros
Impact: fix boot crash on AMD IOMMU if CONFIG_GART_IOMMU is off

Currently these macros evaluate to a no-op except the kernel is compiled
with GART or Calgary support. But we also need these macros when we have
SWIOTLB, VT-d or AMD IOMMU in the kernel. Since we always compile at
least with SWIOTLB we can define these macros always.

This patch is also for stable backport for the same reason the SWIOTLB
default selection patch is.

The faulting instruction is the storage key operation (iske) in
ptep_rcp_copy (called by pte_clear, called by unmap_vmas). iske
reads dirty and reference bit information for a physical page and
requires a valid physical address. Since we are in pte_clear, we
cannot rely on the pte containing a valid address. Fortunately we
dont need these information in pte_clear - after all there is no
mapping. The best fix is to remove the needless call to ptep_rcp_copy
that contains the iske.
