2c75910f1a x86: Make sure get_user_desc() doesn't sign extend.
The current implementation of get_user_desc() sign extends the return
value because of integer promotion rules.  For the most part, this
doesn't matter, because the top bit of base2 is usually 0.  If, however,
that bit is 1, then the entire value will be 0xffff...  which is
probably not what the caller intended.

This patch casts the entire thing to unsigned before returning, which
generates almost the same assembly as the current code but replaces the
final "cltq" (sign extend) with a "mov %eax %eax" (zero-extend).  This
fixes booting certain guests under KVM.

d39b7dd1dc sgi-gru: decrapfiy options_write() function
Not a single line of actual code in the function was really
fundamentally correct.

Problems ranged from lack of proper range checking, to removing the last
character written (which admittedly is usually '\n'), to not accepting
hex numbers even though the 'show' routine would show the data in that
format.

This tries to do better.

Patch f598282f51 exposed a problem in

The problem was caused because MSI irq was not being effectively

89240ba059 x86, fs: Fix x86 procfs stack information for threads on 64-bit
This patch fixes two issues in the procfs stack information on
x86-64 linux.

The 32 bit loader compat_do_execve did not store stack
start. (this was figured out by Alexey Dobriyan).

The stack information on a x64_64 kernel always shows 0 kbyte
stack usage, because of a missing implementation of the KSTK_ESP
macro which always returned -1.

The new implementation now returns the right value.

e968b8d404 m32r: add NOTES to vmlinux.lds.S to remove .note.gnu.build-id section
Building with --build-id option, .note.gnu.build-id section is added
to vmlinux.bin.  But some old buggy binutils creates a huge vmlinux.bin,
and a bootloader fails to boot its zImage as well.

This patch adds a NOTES macro to a linker script vmlinux.ld.S to put
.note.gnu.build-id section into .note section.
Then, the .note section will be removed, because "-R .note" option is
specified in OBJCOPYFLAGS to make a vmlinux.bin binary.

4b27e1bb44 cfq-iosched: limit coop preemption
CFQ has an optimization for cooperated applications. if several
io-context have close requests, they will get boost. But the
optimization get abused. Considering thread a, b, which work on one
file. a reads sectors s, s+2, s+4, ...; b reads sectors s+1, s+3, s
+5, ... Both a and b are sequential read, so they can open idle window.
a reads a sector s and goes to idle window and wakeup b. b reads sector
s+1, since in current implementation, cfq_should_preempt() thinks a and
b are cooperators, b will preempt a. b then reads sector s+1 and goes to
idle window and wakeup a. for the same reason, a will preempt b and
reads s+2. a and b will continue the circle. The circle will be very
long, and a and b will occupy whole disk queue. Other applications will
nearly have no chance to run.

Fix this limiting coop preempt until a queue is scheduled normally
again.

1d51075094 Correct nr_processes() when CPUs have been unplugged
nr_processes() returns the sum of the per cpu counter process_counts for
all online CPUs. This counter is incremented for the current CPU on
fork() and decremented for the current CPU on exit(). Since a process
does not necessarily fork and exit on the same CPU the process_count for
an individual CPU can be either positive or negative and effectively has
no meaning in isolation.

Therefore calculating the sum of process_counts over only the online
CPUs omits the processes which were started or stopped on any CPU which
has since been unplugged. Only the sum of process_counts across all
possible CPUs has meaning.

The only caller of nr_processes() is proc_root_getattr() which
calculates the number of links to /proc as
        stat->nlink = proc_root.nlink + nr_processes();

You don't have to be all that unlucky for the nr_processes() to return a
negative value leading to a negative number of links (or rather, an
apparently enormous number of links). If this happens then you can get
failures where things like "ls /proc" start to fail because they got an
-EOVERFLOW from some stat() call.

Example with some debugging inserted to show what goes on:
        # ps haux|wc -l
        nr_processes: CPU0:     90
        nr_processes: CPU1:     1030
        nr_processes: CPU2:     -900
        nr_processes: CPU3:     -136
        nr_processes: TOTAL:    84
        proc_root_getattr. nlink 12 + nr_processes() 84 = 96
        84
        # echo 0 >/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
        # ps haux|wc -l
        nr_processes: CPU0:     85
        nr_processes: CPU2:     -901
        nr_processes: CPU3:     -137
        nr_processes: TOTAL:    -953
        proc_root_getattr. nlink 12 + nr_processes() -953 = -941
        75
        # stat /proc/
        nr_processes: CPU0:     84
        nr_processes: CPU2:     -901
        nr_processes: CPU3:     -137
        nr_processes: TOTAL:    -954
        proc_root_getattr. nlink 12 + nr_processes() -954 = -942
          File: `/proc/'
          Size: 0               Blocks: 0          IO Block: 1024   directory
        Device: 3h/3d   Inode: 1           Links: 4294966354
        Access: (0555/dr-xr-xr-x)  Uid: (    0/    root)   Gid: (    0/    root)

        Change: 2009-11-03 09:06:55.000000000 +0000

I'm not 100% convinced that the per_cpu regions remain valid for offline
CPUs, although my testing suggests that they do. If not then I think the
correct solution would be to aggregate the process_count for a given CPU
into a global base value in cpu_down().

This bug appears to pre-date the transition to git and it looks like it
may even have been present in linux-2.6.0-test7-bk3 since it looks like
the code Rusty patched in http://lwn.net/Articles/64773/ was already
wrong.
