89ec4c238e [PATCH] vesafb: Fix incorrect logo colors in x86_64
Bugzilla Bug 6299:

A pixel size of 8 bits produces wrong logo colors in x86_64.

The driver has 2 methods for setting the color map, using the protected
mode interface provided by the video BIOS and directly writing to the VGA
registers.  The former is not supported in x86_64 and the latter is enabled
only in i386.

Fix by enabling the latter method in x86_64 only if supported by the BIOS.
If both methods are unsupported, change the visual of vesafb to
STATIC_PSEUDOCOLOR.

ac50ab3e45 [PATCH] sparc32 vga support
sparc32 lacks vga.h, so lots of fbdev drivers won't compile.  There are no
sparc32 systems with PCI slots, so it's a bit moot.

The patch gives sparc32 a copy of the sparc64 vga.h.  It fixes sparc32
allmodconfig without mucking up fbdev Kconfig and gives us wider compile
coverage.

6f54e2d0d3 [PATCH] knfsd: svcrpc: WARN() instead of returning an error from svc_take_page
Every caller of svc_take_page ignores its return value and assumes it
succeeded.  So just WARN() instead of returning an ignored error.  This would
have saved some time debugging a recent nfsd4 problem.

If there are still failure cases here, then the result is probably that we
overwrite an earlier part of the reply while xdr-encoding.

While the corrupted reply is a nasty bug, it would be worse to panic here and
create the possibility of a remote DOS; hence WARN() instead of BUG().

5ac90c9f78 [PATCH] module support: record in vermagic ability to unload a module
An UML user reported (against 2.6.13.3/UML) he got kernel Oopses when
trying to rmmod (on a kernel with module unloading enabled) a module
compiled with module unloading disabled.  As crashing is a very correct
thing to do in that case, a solution is altering the vermagic string to
include this too.

Possibly, however, the code should not crash in this case, even if the
module didn't support unloading - it should simply abort the module
removal.  In this case, fixing that bug would be a better solution.  I've
not investigated though.

(akpm: a bit marginal - root screwed up and shot himself in the foot).

c80d79d746 [PATCH] Configurable NODES_SHIFT
Current implementations define NODES_SHIFT in include/asm-xxx/numnodes.h for
each arch.  Its definition is sometimes configurable.  Indeed, ia64 defines 5
NODES_SHIFT values in the current git tree.  But it looks a bit messy.

SGI-SN2(ia64) system requires 1024 nodes, and the number of nodes already has
been changeable by config.  Suitable node's number may be changed in the
future even if it is other architecture.  So, I wrote configurable node's
number.

This patch set defines just default value for each arch which needs multi
nodes except ia64.  But, it is easy to change to configurable if necessary.

On ia64 the number of nodes can be already configured in generic ia64 and SN2
config.  But, NODES_SHIFT is defined for DIG64 and HP'S machine too.  So, I
changed it so that all platforms can be configured via CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT.  It
would be simpler.

cb45b0e966 [PATCH] overcommit: add calculate_totalreserve_pages()
These patches are an enhancement of OVERCOMMIT_GUESS algorithm in
__vm_enough_memory().

- why the kernel needed patching

  When the kernel can't allocate anonymous pages in practice, currnet
  OVERCOMMIT_GUESS could return success. This implementation might be
  the cause of oom kill in memory pressure situation.

  If the Linux runs with page reservation features like
  /proc/sys/vm/lowmem_reserve_ratio and without swap region, I think
  the oom kill occurs easily.

- the overall design approach in the patch

  When the OVERCOMMET_GUESS algorithm calculates number of free pages,
  the reserved free pages are regarded as non-free pages.

  This change helps to avoid the pitfall that the number of free pages
  become less than the number which the kernel tries to keep free.

- testing results

  I tested the patches using my test kernel module.

  If the patches aren't applied to the kernel, __vm_enough_memory()
  returns success in the situation but autual page allocation is
  failed.

  On the other hand, if the patches are applied to the kernel, memory
  allocation failure is avoided since __vm_enough_memory() returns
  failure in the situation.

  I checked that on i386 SMP 16GB memory machine. I haven't tested on
  nommu environment currently.

This patch adds totalreserve_pages for __vm_enough_memory().

Calculate_totalreserve_pages() checks maximum lowmem_reserve pages and
pages_high in each zone. Finally, the function stores the sum of each
zone to totalreserve_pages.

The totalreserve_pages is calculated when the VM is initilized.
And the variable is updated when /proc/sys/vm/lowmem_reserve_raito
or /proc/sys/vm/min_free_kbytes are changed.

reshape_position is a 64bit field that was not 64bit aligned.  So swap with

NOTE: this is a user-visible change.  However:
  - The bad code has not appeared in a released kernel
  - This code is still marked 'experimental'
  - This only affects version-1 superblock, which are not in wide use
  - These field are only used (rather than simply reported) by user-space
    tools in extemely rare circumstances : after a reshape crashes in the
    first second of the reshape process.

So I believe that, at this stage, the change is safe.  Especially if people

de12a7878c [PATCH] de_thread: Don't confuse users do_each_thread.
Oleg Nesterov spotted two interesting bugs with the current de_thread
code.  The simplest is a long standing double decrement of
__get_cpu_var(process_counts) in __unhash_process.  Caused by
two processes exiting when only one was created.

The other is that since we no longer detach from the thread_group list
it is possible for do_each_thread when run under the tasklist_lock to
see the same task_struct twice.  Once on the task list as a
thread_group_leader, and once on the thread list of another
thread.

The double appearance in do_each_thread can cause a double increment
of mm_core_waiters in zap_threads resulting in problems later on in
coredump_wait.

To remedy those two problems this patch takes the simple approach
of changing the old thread group leader into a child thread.
The only routine in release_task that cares is __unhash_process,
and it can be trivially seen that we handle cleaning up a
thread group leader properly.

Since de_thread doesn't change the pid of the exiting leader process
and instead shares it with the new leader process.  I change
thread_group_leader to recognize group leadership based on the
group_leader field and not based on pids.  This should also be
slightly cheaper then the existing thread_group_leader macro.

I performed a quick audit and I couldn't see any user of
thread_group_leader that cared about the difference.

9227c33de8 [PATCH] move ->eh_strategy_handler to the transport class
Overriding the whole EH code is a per-transport, not per-host thing.
Move ->eh_strategy_handler to the transport class, same as
->eh_timed_out.

Downside is that scsi_host_alloc can't check for the total lack of EH
anymore, but the transition period from old EH where we needed it is
long gone already.

676165a8af [PATCH] Fix buddy list race that could lead to page lru list corruptions
Rohit found an obscure bug causing buddy list corruption.

page_is_buddy is using a non-atomic test (PagePrivate && page_count == 0)
to determine whether or not a free page's buddy is itself free and in the
buddy lists.

Each of the conjuncts may be true at different times due to unrelated
conditions, so the non-atomic page_is_buddy test may find each conjunct to
be true even if they were not both true at the same time (ie. the page was
not on the buddy lists).

529565dcb1 [PATCH] splice: add optional input and output offsets
add optional input and output offsets to sys_splice(), for seekable file
descriptors:

 asmlinkage long sys_splice(int fd_in, loff_t __user *off_in,
                            int fd_out, loff_t __user *off_out,
                            size_t len, unsigned int flags);

semantics are straightforward: f_pos will be updated with the offset
provided by user-space, before the splice transfer is about to begin.
Providing a NULL offset pointer means the existing f_pos will be used
(and updated in situ).  Providing an offset for a pipe results in
-ESPIPE. Providing an invalid offset pointer results in -EFAULT.

3a326a2ce8 [PATCH] introduce a "kernel-internal pipe object" abstraction
separate out the 'internal pipe object' abstraction, and make it
usable to splice. This cleans up and fixes several aspects of the
internal splice APIs and the pipe code:

 - pipes: the allocation and freeing of pipe_inode_info is now more symmetric
   and more streamlined with existing kernel practices.

 - splice: small micro-optimization: less pointer dereferencing in splice
   methods

9323557975 [ARM] 3459/1: ixp23xx: fix debug serial macros for big-endian operation
Patch from Lennert Buytenhek

The debug-8250 macros do byte accesses, which means that if we're in
big-endian mode, we need to logically OR the UART address with 3, as
the LSB byte lane (where UART data and status is transferred) has the
highest byte address in the word when we are in big-endian mode.

It's unclear why this problem didn't surface earlier.

b20367a6c2 [PATCH] x86_64: Fix drift with HPET timer enabled
If the HPET timer is enabled, the clock can drift by ~3 seconds a day.
This is due to the HPET timer not being initialized with the correct
setting (still using PIT count).

If HZ changes, this drift can become even more pronounced.

HPET patch initializes tick_nsec with correct tick_nsec settings for
HPET timer.

  "It's not entirely correct (it assumes the HPET ticks totally
   exactly), but it's significantly better than assuming the PIT error
   there."
