Mikulas Patocka noted that the optimization where we check if a buffer
was already dirty (and we avoid re-dirtying it) was not really SMP-safe.
Since the read of the old status was not synchronized with anything, an
aggressive CPU re-ordering of memory accesses might have moved that read
up to before the data was even written to the buffer, and another CPU
that cleaned it again, causing the newly dirty state to never actually
hit the disk.
Admittedly this would probably never trigger in practice, but it's still
wrong.
Mikulas sent a patch that fixed the problem, but I dislike the subtlety
of the whole optimization, so this is an alternate fix that is more
explicit about the particular SMP ordering for the optimization, and
separates out the speculative reads of the buffer state into its own
conditional (and makes the memory barrier only happen if we are likely
to actually hit the optimized case in the first place).
I considered removing the optimization entirely, but Andrew argued for
it's continued existence. I'm a push-over.

Commit f63fd7e299 ("parport_pc: detection
for SuperIO IT87XX POST") only released the IO port region on success,
not when the probe for the IT87XX chip failed.
That caused not only a reserved region to leak, but also caused an oops
when the driver module was unloaded and somebody tried to cat
/proc/ioports - because the string that was assigned to the IO port
region was a static string in the module virtual address area.

This avoids using wrmsr on MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR when it's not needed.
No wrmsr ever needs to be done if noone has ever used block stepping.
Without this change, using ptrace on 2.6.25 on an x86 KVM guest
will tickle KVM's missing support for the MSR and crash the guest
kernel. Though host KVM is the buggy one, this makes for a regression
in the guest behavior from 2.6.24->2.6.25 that we can easily avoid.

The loop block driver is careful to mask __GFP_IO|__GFP_FS out of its
mapping_gfp_mask, to avoid hangs under memory pressure. But nowadays
it uses splice, usually going through __generic_file_splice_read. That
must use mapping_gfp_mask instead of GFP_KERNEL to avoid those hangs.

This gets the FEC ethernet driver working again on the lite5200
platform.
The FEC driver is also compatible with the MPC5200, not only with the
MPC5200B, so this adds a suitable entry to the driver's match list.
Furthermore this adds the settings for the PHY in the dts file for the
Lite5200. Note, that this is not exactly the same as in the
Lite5200B, because the PHY is located at f0003000:01 for the 5200, and
at :00 for the 5200B. This was tested on a Lite5200 and a Lite5200B,
both booted a kernel via tftp and mounted the root via nfs

hash_page_sync() takes and releases the low level mmu hash
lock in order to sync with other processors disposing of page
tables. Because that lock can be needed to service hash misses
triggered by interrupt handlers, taking it must be done with
interrupts off. However, hash_page_sync() appears to be called
with interrupts enabled, thus causing occasional deadlocks.
We fix it by making sure hash_page_sync() masks interrupts while
holding the lock.

A subtle bug sneaked into iSeries recently. On this platform, we must
not normally clear MSR:EE (the hardware external interrupt enable)
except for short periods of time. Taking an interrupt while
soft-disabled doesn't cause us to clear it for example.
The iSeries kernel expects to mostly run with MSR:EE enabled at all
times except in a few exception entry/exit code paths. Thus
local_irq_enable() doesn't check if it needs to hard-enable as it
expects this to be unnecessary on iSeries.
However, hard_irq_disable() _does_ cause MSR:EE to be cleared,
including on iSeries. A call to it was recently added to the
context switch code, thus causing interrupts to become disabled
for a long periods of time, causing the iSeries watchdog to kick
in under some circumstances and other nasty things.
This patch fixes it by making local_irq_enable() properly re-enable
MSR:EE on iSeries. It basically removes a return statement here
to make iSeries use the same code path as everybody else. That does
mean that we might occasionally get spurious decrementer interrupts
but I don't think that matters.
Another option would have been to make hard_irq_disable() a nop
on iSeries but I didn't like it much, in case we have good reasons
to hard-disable.
Part of the patch is fixes to make sure the hard_enabled PACA field
is properly set on iSeries as it used not to be before, since it
was mostly unused.

Markers do not mix well with CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU because it uses
preempt_disable/enable() and not rcu_read_lock/unlock for minimal
intrusiveness. We would need call_sched and sched_barrier primitives.
Currently, the modification (connection and disconnection) of probes
from markers requires changes to the data structure done in RCU-style :
a new data structure is created, the pointer is changed atomically, a
quiescent state is reached and then the old data structure is freed.
The quiescent state is reached once all the currently running
preempt_disable regions are done running. We use the call_rcu mechanism
to execute kfree() after such quiescent state has been reached.
However, the new CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU version of call_rcu and rcu_barrier
does not guarantee that all preempt_disable code regions have finished,
hence the race.
The "proper" way to do this is to use rcu_read_lock/unlock, but we don't
want to use it to minimize intrusiveness on the traced system. (we do
not want the marker code to call into much of the OS code, because it
would quickly restrict what can and cannot be instrumented, such as the
scheduler).
The temporary fix, until we get call_rcu_sched and rcu_barrier_sched in
mainline, is to use synchronize_sched before each call_rcu calls, so we
wait for the quiescent state in the system call code path. It will slow
down batch marker enable/disable, but will make sure the race is gone.

Fix the problem that makedumpfile sometimes fails on x86_64 machine.
This patch adds the symbol "phys_base" to a vmcoreinfo data. The
vmcoreinfo data has the minimum debugging information only for dump
filtering. makedumpfile (dump filtering command) gets it to distinguish
unnecessary pages, and makedumpfile creates a small dumpfile.
On x86_64 kernel which compiled with CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START=0x0 and
CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y, makedumpfile fails like the following:
# makedumpfile -d31 /proc/vmcore dumpfile
The kernel version is not supported.
The created dumpfile may be incomplete.
_exclude_free_page: Can't get next online node.
makedumpfile Failed.
#
The cause is the lack of the symbol "phys_base" in a vmcoreinfo data.
If the symbol "phys_base" does not exist, makedumpfile considers an
x86_64 kernel as non relocatable. As the result, makedumpfile
misunderstands the physical address where the kernel is loaded, and it
cannot translate a kernel virtual address to physical address correctly.
To fix this problem, this patch adds the symbol "phys_base" to a
vmcoreinfo data.
