The bug was introduced by commit cc31edceee
("cgroups: convert tasks file to use a seq_file with shared pid array").
We cache a pid array for all threads that are opening the same "tasks"
file, but the pids in the array are always from the namespace of the
last process that opened the file, so all other threads will read pids
from that namespace instead of their own namespaces.
To fix it, we maintain a list of pid arrays, which is keyed by pid_ns.
The list will be of length 1 at most time.

The generic atomic64_t implementation in lib/ did not export the functions
it defined, which means that modules that use atomic64_t would not link on
platforms (such as 32-bit powerpc). For example, trying to build a kernel
with CONFIG_NET_RDS on such a platform would fail with:
ERROR: "atomic64_read" [net/rds/rds.ko] undefined!
ERROR: "atomic64_set" [net/rds/rds.ko] undefined!
Fix this by exporting the atomic64_t functions to modules. (I export the
entire API even if it's not all currently used by in-tree modules to avoid
having to continue fixing this in dribs and drabs)

As reported in Red Hat bz #509671, i_blocks for files on hugetlbfs get
accounting wrong when doing something like:
$ > foo
$ date > foo
date: write error: Invalid argument
$ /usr/bin/stat foo
File: `foo'
Size: 0 Blocks: 18446744073709547520 IO Block: 2097152 regular
...
This is because hugetlb_unreserve_pages() is unconditionally removing
blocks_per_huge_page(h) on each call rather than using the freed amount.
If there were 0 blocks, it goes negative, resulting in the above.
This is a regression from commit a551643895
("hugetlb: modular state for hugetlb page size")
which did:
- inode->i_blocks -= BLOCKS_PER_HUGEPAGE * freed;
+ inode->i_blocks -= blocks_per_huge_page(h);
so just put back the freed multiplier, and it's all happy again.

rtc-cmos has two drivers, one PNP and one platform. When PNP has not
succeeded probing, platform is registered. However, it tries to
unregister both drivers unconditionally, instead of only unregistering
those that were successfully registered. This causes runtime warnings to
be emitted from the driver core code.
Fix this with a boolean variable for each driver indicating whether
registering was successful.

Without the fix the driver causes extra clocks to be clocked to the bus

Fix a post-2.6.24 performace regression caused by
3dfa5721f1 ("page-allocator: preserve PFN
ordering when __GFP_COLD is set").
Narayanan reports "The regression is around 15%. There is no disk controller
as our setup is based on Samsung OneNAND used as a memory mapped device on a
OMAP2430 based board."
The page allocator tries to preserve contiguous PFN ordering when returning
pages such that repeated callers to the allocator have a strong chance of
getting physically contiguous pages, particularly when external fragmentation
is low. However, of the bulk of the allocations have __GFP_COLD set as they
are due to aio_read() for example, then the PFNs are in reverse PFN order.
This can cause performance degration when used with IO controllers that could
have merged the requests.
This patch attempts to preserve the contiguous ordering of PFNs for users of
__GFP_COLD.

We really don't want to mark the pty as a low-latency device, because as
Alan points out, the ->write method can be called from an IRQ (ppp?),
and that means we can't use ->low_latency=1 as we take mutexes in the
low_latency case.
So rather than using low_latency to force the written data to be pushed
to the ldisc handling at 'write()' time, just make the reader side (or
the poll function) do the flush when it checks whether there is data to
be had.
This also fixes the problem with lost data in an emacs compile buffer
(bugzilla 13815), and we can thus revert the low_latency pty hack
(commit 3a54297478: "pty: quickfix for the
pty ENXIO timing problems").

Hibernation code wishes to copy a reference to the active swap device.
Right now it calls bdget() under a spinlock, but this is wrong because
bdget() can sleep. It doesn't need a full bdget() because we already
hold a reference to active swap devices (and the spinlock protects
against swapoff).

This adds new set/get tiling interfaces where the pitch

a flag to decide if this object should have a surface when mapped.
The only thing we need to allocate with a mapped surface should be
the frontbuffer. Note rotate scanout shouldn't require one, and
back/depth shouldn't either, though mesa needs some fixes.
It fixes the TTM interfaces along Thomas's suggestions, and I've tested
the surface stealing code with two X servers and not seen any lockdep issues.
I've stopped tiling the fbcon frontbuffer, as I don't see there being
any advantage other than testing, I've left the testing commands in there,

On certain configurations, HPA isn't or can't be unlocked during

thread, the problem can be reliably reproduced after resuming from
STR. The BIOS turns on HPA during boot but forgets to do it during
resume.
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/858310
This patch updates libata revalidation such that it considers native
n_sectors. If the device size has increased to match native
n_sectors, it's assumed that HPA has been unlocked involuntarily and
the device is recognized as the same one. This should be fairly safe
while nicely working around the problem.
