0d670b2472 microblaze: Fix cache loop function for cache range
I create wrong asm code but none test shows that this part of code is wrong.
I am not convinces that were good idea to create asm optimized macros
for caches. The reason is that there is not optimization with previous code
that's why make sense to add old code and do some benchmarking which
functions are faster.

c4d49794ff net: bug fix for vlan + gro issue
Traffic (tcp) doesnot start on a vlan interface when gro is enabled.
Even the tcp handshake was not taking place.
This is because, the eth_type_trans call before the netif_receive_skb
in napi_gro_finish() resets the skb->dev to napi->dev from the previously
set vlan netdev interface. This causes the ip_route_input to drop the
incoming packet considering it as a packet coming from a martian source.

I could repro this on 2.6.32.7 (stable) and 2.6.33-rc7.
With this fix, the traffic starts and the test runs fine on both vlan
and non-vlan interfaces.

662a96bd6f tc35815: Remove a wrong netif_wake_queue() call which triggers BUG_ON
The netif_wake_queue() is called correctly (i.e. only on !txfull
condition) from txdone routine.  So Unconditional call to the
netif_wake_queue() here is wrong.  This might cause calling of
start_xmit routine on txfull state and trigger BUG_ON.

This bug does not happen when NAPI disabled.  After txdone there
must be at least one free tx slot.  But with NAPI, this is not
true anymore and the BUG_ON can hits on heavy load.

In this driver NAPI was enabled on 2.6.33-rc1 so this is
regression from 2.6.32 kernel.

a17e18790a fs/exec.c: fix initial stack reservation
803bf5ec25 ("fs/exec.c: restrict initial
stack space expansion to rlimit") attempts to limit the initial stack to
20*PAGE_SIZE.  Unfortunately, in attempting ensure the stack is not
reduced in size, we ended up not changing the stack at all.

This size reduction check is not necessary as the expand_stack call does
this already.

This caused a regression in UML resulting in most guest processes being
killed.

d2e7276b6b idr: fix a critical misallocation bug, take#2
This is retry of reverted 859ddf0974
("idr: fix a critical misallocation bug") which contained two bugs.

* pa[idp->layers] should be cleared even if it's not used by
  sub_alloc() because it's used by mark idr_mark_full().

* The original condition check also assigned pa[l] to p which the new
  code didn't do thus leaving p pointing at the wrong layer.

Both problems have been fixed and the idr code has received good amount
testing using userland testing setup where simple bitmap allocator is
run parallel to verify the result of idr allocation.

The bug this patch fixes is caused by sub_alloc() optimization path
bypassing out-of-room condition check and restarting allocation loop
with starting value higher than maximum allowed value.  For detailed
description, please read commit message of 859ddf09.

This commit changes nouveau to construct PTEs which look very much like
the ones the binary driver creates.

I presume that filling multiple PTEs identically with length flags and
the physical address of the start of a block of VRAM is a hint to the
memory controller that it need not perform additional page table lookups
for that range of addresses.

15cbf627ab Revert "parisc: HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK"
This reverts commit 81bf550d9c.

HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK requires defining the user_regset interfaces,
including task_user_regset_view().  parisc doesn't do that yet,
so don't lie about it.

d306ebc286 ACPI: Be in TS_POLLING state during mwait based C-state entry
ACPI deep C-state entry had a long standing bug/missing feature, wherein we were sending
resched IPIs when an idle CPU is in mwait based deep C-state. Only mwait based C1 was using
the write to the monitored address to wake up mwait'ing CPU.

This patch changes the code to retain TS_POLLING bit if we are entering an mwait based
deep C-state.

The patch has been verified to reduce the number of resched IPIs in general and also
improves the performance/power on workloads with low system utilization (i.e., when mwait based
deep C-states are being used).

Fixes "netperf ~50% regression with 2.6.33-rc1, bisect to 1b9508f"
