ef596c697a [POWERPC] ps3: always make sure were running on a PS3
Add missing checks to PS3 specific drivers ps3av and sys-manager to verify that
we are actually running on a PS3 (pointed out by Arnd).

Correct existing checks in other subsystems/drivers to return -ENODEV instead
of zero.

94b2a4393c [POWERPC] Fix spu SLB invalidations
The SPU code doesn't properly invalidate SPUs SLBs when necessary,
for example when changing a segment size from the hugetlbfs code. In
addition, it saves and restores the SLB content on context switches
which makes it harder to properly handle those invalidations.

This patch removes the saving & restoring for now, something more
efficient might be found later on. It also adds a spu_flush_all_slbs(mm)
that can be used by the core mm code to flush the SLBs of all SPEs that
are running a given mm at the time of the flush.

In order to do that, it adds a spinlock to the list of all SPEs and move
some bits & pieces from spufs to spu_base.c

cee87af2a5 [IA64] kexec: Use EFI_LOADER_DATA for ELF core header
The address where the ELF core header is stored is passed to the secondary
kernel as a kernel command line option.  The memory area for this header is
also marked as a separate EFI memory descriptor on ia64.

The separate EFI memory descriptor is at the moment of the type
EFI_UNUSABLE_MEMORY.  With such a type the secondary kernel skips over the
entire memory granule (config option, 16M or 64M) when detecting memory.
If we are lucky we will just lose some memory, but if we happen to have
data in the same granule (such as an initramfs image), then this data will
never get mapped and the kernel bombs out when trying to access it.

So this is an attempt to fix this by changing the EFI memory descriptor
type into EFI_LOADER_DATA.  This type is the same type used for the kernel
data and for initramfs.  In the secondary kernel we then handle the ELF
core header data the same way as we handle the initramfs image.

This patch contains the kernel changes to make this happen.  Pretty
straightforward, we reserve the area in reserve_memory().  The address for
the area comes from the kernel command line and the size comes from the
specialized EFI parsing function vmcore_find_descriptor_size().

The kexec-tools-testing code for this can be found here:

41d5e5d73e [IA64] permon use-after-free fix
Perfmon associates vmalloc()ed memory with a file descriptor, and installs
a vma mapping that memory.  Unfortunately, the vm_file field is not filled
in, so processes with mappings to that memory do not prevent the file from
being closed and the memory freed.  This results in use-after-free bugs and
multiple freeing of pages, etc.

I saw this bug on an Altix on SLES9.  Haven't reproduced upstream but it
looks like the same issue is there.

Necessary to build .20-mm* on ia64 when, e.g., CONFIG_ASYNC_TX_DMA is

Kconfig should preclude it.

Could have defined a Kconfig option that defaults to true if MD_RAID456 ||
ASYNC_TX_DMA to control building of xor.o, but xor.o is only 848 bytes and
this IS ia64...

Make saved_max_pfn point to max_pfn of entire system.

Without this patch is so that vmcore is zero length on ia64.  This is
because saved_max_pfn was wrongly being set to the max_pfn of the crash
kernel's address space, rather than the max_pfg on the physical memory of
the machine - the whole purpose of vmcore is to access physical memory that
is not part of the crash kernel's addresss space.

We were using the platform_device.id field to identify which ethernet
port is used for mv643xx_eth device.  This is not generally correct.
It will be incorrect, for example, if a hardware platform uses a single
port but not the first port.  Here, we add an explicit port_number field
to struct mv643xx_eth_platform_data.

This makes the mv643xx_eth_platform_data structure required, but that

482b05dd53 [S390] Fixed handling of access register mode faults.
Replaced check_user_space() + __check_access_register with the new
check_space(). The old functions made wrong assumptions about kernel
and user space when the kernel and user address spaces are switched
(kernel in home space, user in primary/secondary space).
Secondly the user process can switch to the accress register mode if
it is running in primary or secondary mode. In addition it can load
an arbitrary value to the access registers. If any other value than
0 for primary space or 1 for secondary space is loaded and memory
is accessed using the base register related to the access register,
the program should be terminated with a SIGSEGV. To achieve that the
DUALD pointer in the DUCT and the PSALD pointer in the PASTE need
to point to an array of 8 invalid access-list entries to get a
ALEN-translation exception if an invalid alet is used.

f794c8279d [S390] kprobes breaks BUG_ON
The illegal operation handler calls the die notifier with DIE_BPT to
let kprobes pick up its breakpoint. If kprobes does not find its
breakpoint it returns NOTIFY_STOP instead of NOTIFY_DONE.
Since we use stop_machine_run on s390 to arm/disarm the kprobes
breakpoints the race that kprobe_handler tries to solve by checking
for the kprobes breakpoints does not exist. Removing the check makes
BUG_ON working again.

c3442e2965 [PATCH] paravirt: re-enable COMPAT_VDSO
CONFIG_PARAVIRT broke old glibc bootup: it silently turned off the
selectability of CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO and thus rendered distro kernels
unbootable on old-style VDSO glibc setups.

the proper solution is to keep COMPAT_VDSO available - if a hypervisor
needs any modification of that concept then we'll judge those changes in
full context, once those changes are submitted.

0d05ad2c09 [PATCH] paravirt: let users decide whether they want VMI
do not use default=y for CONFIG_VMI (we do not do that for any driver or
special-hardware feature): the overwhelming majority of Linux users does
not need it, and interested users and distributions can enable it
as-needed.

e9417fb324 [PATCH] paravirt: clarify VMI description
Clarify the description of the CONFIG_VMI option: describe the reality
that VMI is a VMWare-only interface for now. Once that changes and
another hypervisor adopts the VMI ABI we can change the text.

As can be seen from the Xen paravirtualization patches submitted to lkml
the Xen project has chosen its own, non-VMI interface between Xen and
the para-Linux - so remove Xen from the description.

3f1a73b6dd [PATCH] paravirt: remove NO_IDLE_HZ on x86
Temove the mistaken turning on of NO_IDLE_HZ on x86+PARAVIRT kernels.

It's an obsolete, limited form of dynticks.
