d0aaff9796 [PATCH] Kprobes: prevent possible race conditions generic
There are possible race conditions if probes are placed on routines within the
kprobes files and routines used by the kprobes.  For example if you put probe
on get_kprobe() routines, the system can hang while inserting probes on any
routine such as do_fork().  Because while inserting probes on do_fork(),
register_kprobes() routine grabs the kprobes spin lock and executes
get_kprobe() routine and to handle probe of get_kprobe(), kprobes_handler()
gets executed and tries to grab kprobes spin lock, and spins forever.  This
patch avoids such possible race conditions by preventing probes on routines
within the kprobes file and routines used by kprobes.

I have modified the patches as per Andi Kleen's suggestion to move kprobes
routines and other routines used by kprobes to a seperate section
.kprobes.text.

Also moved page fault and exception handlers, general protection fault to
.kprobes.text section.

These patches have been tested on i386, x86_64 and ppc64 architectures, also
compiled on ia64 and sparc64 architectures.

aac51f09d9 [PATCH] w100fb: Rewrite for platform independence
The code w100fb was based on was horribly Sharp SL-C7x0 specific and there
was little else that could be done as I had no access to anything else with
a w100 in it.  There is no real documentation about this chipset available.

Ian Molton has access to other platforms with the w100 (Toshiba e-series)
and so between us, we've improved w100fb and made it platform independent.
Ian Molton also added support for the very similar w3220 and w3200
chipsets.

There are a lot of changes here and it nearly amounts to a rewrite of the
driver but it has been extensively tested and is being used in preference
to the original driver in the Zaurus community.  I'd therefore like to
update the mainline code to reflect this.

335eadf2ef [PATCH] sd: initialize SD cards
Support for the Secure Digital protocol in the MMC layer.

A summary of the legal issues surrounding SD cards, as understood by yours
truly:

Members of the Secure Digital Association, hereafter SDA, are required to sign
a NDA[1] before given access to any specifications.  It has been speculated
that including an SD implementation would forbid these members to redistribute
Linux.  This is the basic problem with SD support so it is unclear if it even
is a problem since it has no effect on those of us that aren't members.

The SDA doesn't seem to enforce these rules though since the patches included
here are based on documentation made public by some of the members.  The most
complete specs[2] are actually released by Sandisk, one of the founding
companies of the SDA.

Because of this the NDA is considered a non-issue by most involved in the
discussions concerning these patches.  It might be that the SDA is only
interested in protecting the so called "secure" bits of SD, which so far
hasn't been found in any public spec.  (The card is split into two sections,
one "normal" and one "secure" which has an access scheme similar to TPM:s).

(As a side note, Microsoft is working to make things easier for us since they
want to be able to include the source code for a SD driver in one of their
development kits.  HP is making sure that the new NDA will allow a Linux
implementation.  So far only the SDIO specs have been opened up[3].  More will
hopefully follow.)

 [1] http://www.sdcard.org/membership/images/ippolicy.pdf
 [2] http://www.sandisk.com/pdf/oem/ProdManualSDCardv1.9.pdf
 [3] http://www.sdcard.org/sdio/Simplified%20SDIO%20Card%20Specification.pdf

This patch contains the central parts of the SD support.  If no MMC cards are
found on a bus then the MMC layer proceeds looking for SD cards.  Helper
functions are extended to handle the special needs of SD cards.

8c702e1620 [PATCH] ipmi poweroff: fix chassis control
The IPMI power control function proc_write_chassctrl was badly written, it
directly used userspace pointers, it assumed that strings were NULL
terminated, and it used the evil sscanf function.  This converts over to
using the sysctl interface for this data and changes the semantics to be a
little more logical.

The "null message handler" in the IPMI driver is used in startup and panic
situations to handle messages.  It was only designed to work with messages
from the local management controller, but in some cases it was used to get
messages from remote managmenet controllers, and the system would then
panic.  This patch makes the "null message handler" in the IPMI driver more
general so it works with any kind of message.

3f4bb1f419 [PATCH] struct dentry: place d_hash close to d_parent and d_name to speedup lookups
dentry cache uses sophisticated RCU technology (and prefetching if
available) but touches 2 cache lines per dentry during hlist lookup.

This patch moves d_hash in the same cache line than d_parent and d_name
fields so that :

1) One cache line is needed instead of two.

2) the hlist_for_each_rcu() prefetching has a chance to bring all the
   needed data in advance, not only the part that includes d_hash.next.

I also changed one old comment that was wrong for 64bits.

A further optimisation would be to separate dentry in two parts, one that
is mostly read, and one writen (d_count/d_lock) to avoid false sharing on
SMP/NUMA but this would need different field placement depending on 32bits
or 64bits platform.

ef08e3b498 [PATCH] cpusets: confine oom_killer to mem_exclusive cpuset
Now the real motivation for this cpuset mem_exclusive patch series seems
trivial.

This patch keeps a task in or under one mem_exclusive cpuset from provoking an
oom kill of a task under a non-overlapping mem_exclusive cpuset.  Since only
interrupt and GFP_ATOMIC allocations are allowed to escape mem_exclusive
containment, there is little to gain from oom killing a task under a
non-overlapping mem_exclusive cpuset, as almost all kernel and user memory
allocation must come from disjoint memory nodes.

This patch enables configuring a system so that a runaway job under one
mem_exclusive cpuset cannot cause the killing of a job in another such cpuset
that might be using very high compute and memory resources for a prolonged
time.

9bf2229f88 [PATCH] cpusets: formalize intermediate GFP_KERNEL containment
This patch makes use of the previously underutilized cpuset flag
'mem_exclusive' to provide what amounts to another layer of memory placement
resolution.  With this patch, there are now the following four layers of
memory placement available:

 1) The whole system (interrupt and GFP_ATOMIC allocations can use this),
 2) The nearest enclosing mem_exclusive cpuset (GFP_KERNEL allocations can use),
 3) The current tasks cpuset (GFP_USER allocations constrained to here), and
 4) Specific node placement, using mbind and set_mempolicy.

These nest - each layer is a subset (same or within) of the previous.

Layer (2) above is new, with this patch.  The call used to check whether a
zone (its node, actually) is in a cpuset (in its mems_allowed, actually) is
extended to take a gfp_mask argument, and its logic is extended, in the case
that __GFP_HARDWALL is not set in the flag bits, to look up the cpuset
hierarchy for the nearest enclosing mem_exclusive cpuset, to determine if
placement is allowed.  The definition of GFP_USER, which used to be identical
to GFP_KERNEL, is changed to also set the __GFP_HARDWALL bit, in the previous
cpuset_gfp_hardwall_flag patch.

GFP_ATOMIC and GFP_KERNEL allocations will stay within the current tasks
cpuset, so long as any node therein is not too tight on memory, but will
escape to the larger layer, if need be.

The intended use is to allow something like a batch manager to handle several
jobs, each job in its own cpuset, but using common kernel memory for caches
and such.  Swapper and oom_kill activity is also constrained to Layer (2).  A
task in or below one mem_exclusive cpuset should not cause swapping on nodes
in another non-overlapping mem_exclusive cpuset, nor provoke oom_killing of a
task in another such cpuset.  Heavy use of kernel memory for i/o caching and
such by one job should not impact the memory available to jobs in other
non-overlapping mem_exclusive cpusets.

This patch enables providing hardwall, inescapable cpusets for memory
allocations of each job, while sharing kernel memory allocations between
several jobs, in an enclosing mem_exclusive cpuset.

Like Dinakar's patch earlier to enable administering sched domains using the
cpu_exclusive flag, this patch also provides a useful meaning to a cpuset flag
that had previously done nothing much useful other than restrict what cpuset
configurations were allowed.

f90b1d2f1a [PATCH] cpusets: new __GFP_HARDWALL flag
Add another GFP flag: __GFP_HARDWALL.

A subsequent "cpuset_zone_allowed" patch will use this flag to mark GFP_USER
allocations, and distinguish them from GFP_KERNEL allocations.

Allocations (such as GFP_USER) marked GFP_HARDWALL are constrainted to the
current tasks cpuset.  Other allocations (such as GFP_KERNEL) can steal from
the possibly larger nearest mem_exclusive cpuset ancestor, if memory is tight
on every node in the current cpuset.

This patch collides with Mel Gorman's patch to reduce fragmentation in the
standard buddy allocator, which adds two GFP flags.  This was discussed on
linux-mm in July.  Most likely, one of his flags for user reclaimable memory
can be the same as my __GFP_HARDWALL flag, under some generic name meaning its
user address space memory.

f26fdd5992 [PATCH] CHECK_IRQ_PER_CPU() to avoid dead code in __do_IRQ()
IRQ_PER_CPU is not used by all architectures.  This patch introduces the
macros ARCH_HAS_IRQ_PER_CPU and CHECK_IRQ_PER_CPU() to avoid the generation
of dead code in __do_IRQ().

ARCH_HAS_IRQ_PER_CPU is defined by architectures using IRQ_PER_CPU in their
include/asm_ARCH/irq.h file.

Through grepping the tree I found the following architectures currently use
IRQ_PER_CPU:

        cris, ia64, ppc, ppc64 and parisc.

f35279d3f7 [PATCH] sunrpc: cache_register can use wrong module reference
When registering an RPC cache, cache_register() always sets the owner as the
sunrpc module.  However, there are RPC caches owned by other modules.  With
the incorrect owner setting, the real owning module can be removed potentially
with an open reference to the cache from userspace.

For example, if one were to stop the nfs server and unmount the nfsd
filesystem, the nfsd module could be removed eventhough rpc.idmapd had
references to the idtoname and nametoid caches (i.e.
/proc/net/rpc/nfs4.<cachename>/channel is still open).  This resulted in a
system panic on one of our machines when attempting to restart the nfs
services after reloading the nfsd module.

The following patch adds a 'struct module *owner' field in struct
cache_detail.  The owner is further assigned to the struct proc_dir_entry
in cache_register() so that the module cannot be unloaded while user-space
daemons have an open reference on the associated file under /proc.

Newer Sony VAIO models (VGN-S480, VGN-S460, VGN-S3XP etc) use a new method to

device comes directly from the AML code in the _CRS, _SRS and _DIS methods
from the DSDT table.  This patch adds support for the new models.

8fc2751beb [PATCH] disk quotas fail when /etc/mtab is symlinked to /proc/mounts
If /etc/mtab is a regular file all of the mount options (of a file system)
are written to /etc/mtab by the mount command.  The quota tools look there
for the quota strings for their operation.  If, however, /etc/mtab is a
symlink to /proc/mounts (a "good thing" in some environments) the tools
don't write anything - they assume the kernel will take care of things.

While the quota options are sent down to the kernel via the mount system
call and the file system codes handle them properly unfortunately there is
no code to echo the quota strings into /proc/mounts and the quota tools
fail in the symlink case.

The attached patchs modify the EXT[2|3] and JFS codes to add the necessary
hooks.  The show_options function of each file system in these patches
currently deal with only those things that seemed related to quotas;
especially in the EXT3 case more can be done (later?).

Jan Kara also noted the difficulty in moving these changes above the FS
codes responding similarly to myself to Andrew's comment about possible
VFS migration. Issue summary:

 - FS codes have to process the entire string of options anyway.

 - Only FS codes that use quotas must have a show_options function (for
   quotas to work properly) however quotas are only used in a small number
   of FS.

 - Since most of the quota using FS support other options these FS codes
   should have the a show_options function to show those options - and the
   quota echoing becomes virtually negligible.

Based on feedback I have modified my patches from the original:

   JFS a missing patch has been restored to the posting
   EXT[2|3] and JFS always use the show_options function
       - Each FS has at least one FS specific option displayed
       - QUOTA output is under a CONFIG_QUOTA ifdef
       - a follow-on patch will add a multitude of options for each FS
   EXT[2|3] and JFS "quota" is treated as "usrquota"
   EXT3 journalled data check for journalled quota removed
   EXT[2|3] mount when quota specified but not compiled in

 - no changes from my original patch.  I tested the patch and the codes
   warn but

 - still mount.  With all due respection I believe the comments
   otherwise were a

 - misread of the patch.  Please reread/test and comment.  XFS patch
   removed - the XFS team already made the necessary changes EXT3 mixing
   old and new quotas are handled differently (not purely exclusive)

 - if old and new quotas for the same type are used together the old
   type is silently depricated for compatability (e.g.  usrquota and
   usrjquota)

 - mixing of old and new quotas is an error (e.g.  usrjquota and
   grpquota)

The size of auxiliary vector is fixed at 42 in linux/sched.h.  But it isn't
very obvious when looking at linux/elf.h.  This patch adds AT_VECTOR_SIZE
so that we can change it if necessary when a new vector is added.

Because of include file ordering problems, doing this necessitated the
extraction of the AT_* symbols into a standalone header file.
