hotadd_new_pgdat can not be an __init function, but:
It is compiled for MEMORY_HOTPLUG configurations only
MEMORY_HOTPLUG depends on SPARSEMEM || X86_64_ACPI_NUMA
X86_64_ACPI_NUMA depends on X86_64
ARCH_FLATMEM_ENABLE depends on X86_32
ARCH_DISCONTIGMEM_ENABLE depends on X86_32
So X86_64_ACPI_NUMA implies SPARSEMEM, right?
So we can mark the stack of functions __init for !SPARSEMEM, but we must mark
them __meminit for SPARSEMEM configurations. This is ok, because then the
calls to alloc_bootmem_node are also avoided.

Document huge memory/cache overhead of memory controller in Kconfig
I was a little surprised that 2.6.25-rc* increased struct page for the
memory controller. At least on many x86-64 machines it will not fit into a
single cache line now anymore and also costs considerable amounts of RAM.
At earlier review I remembered asking for a external data structure for
this.
It's also quite unobvious that a innocent looking Kconfig option with a
single line Kconfig description has such a negative effect.
This patch attempts to document these disadvantages at least so that users
configuring their kernel can make a informed decision.

When running "make htmldocs" I'm seeing some non-fatal perl errors caused
by trying to parse the callback function definitions in blk-core.c.
The errors are "Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.)..."
in combination with:
Warning(linux-2.6.25-rc2/block/blk-core.c:1877): No description found for parameter ''
The function pointers are defined without a * i.e.
int (drv_callback)(struct request *)
The compiler is happy with them, but kernel-doc isn't.
This patch teaches create_parameterlist in kernel-doc to parse this type of
function pointer definition, but is it the right way to fix the problem ?
The problem only seems to occur in blk-core.c.
However with the patch applied, kernel-doc finds the correct parameter
description for the callback in blk_end_request_callback, which is doesn't
normally.
I thought it would be a bit odd to change to code to use the more normal
form of function pointers just to get the documentation to work, so I fixed
kernel-doc instead - even though this is teaching it to understand code
that might go away (The comment for blk_end_request_callback says that it
should not be used and will removed at some point).

Not all architectures implement futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic(). The default
implementation returns -ENOSYS, which is currently not handled inside of the
futex guts.
Futex PI calls and robust list exits with a held futex result in an endless
loop in the futex code on architectures which have no support.
Fixing up every place where futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() is called would
add a fair amount of extra if/else constructs to the already complex code. It
is also not possible to disable the robust feature before user space tries to
register robust lists.
Compile time disabling is not a good idea either, as there are already
architectures with runtime detection of futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic support.
Detect the functionality at runtime instead by calling
cmpxchg_futex_value_locked() with a NULL pointer from the futex initialization
code. This is guaranteed to fail, but the call of
futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() happens with pagefaults disabled.
On architectures, which use the asm-generic implementation or have a runtime
CPU feature detection, a -ENOSYS return value disables the PI/robust features.
On architectures with a working implementation the call returns -EFAULT and
the PI/robust features are enabled.
The relevant syscalls return -ENOSYS and the robust list exit code is blocked,
when the detection fails.

NBD doesn't work well with CFQ (or AS) schedulers, so let's default to
something else.
The two problems I have experienced with nbd and cfq are:
1) nbd hangs with cfq on RHEL 5 (2.6.18) -- this may well have been
fixed
There's a similar debian bug that has been filed as well:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=447638
There have been posts to nbd-general mailing list about problems with
cfq and nbd also.
2) nbd performs about 10% better (the last time I tested) with deadline
vs. cfq (the overhead of cfq doesn't provide much advantage to nbd [not
being a real disk], and you end up going through the I/O scheduler on
the nbd server anyway, so it makes sense that deadline is better with
nbd)

Commit ee3d9bd4de ("uml: simplify SIGSEGV
handling"), while greatly simplifying the kernel SIGSEGV handler that
runs in the process address space, introduced a bug which corrupts FP
state in the process.
Previously, the SIGSEGV handler called the sigreturn system call by hand - it
couldn't return through the restorer provided to it because that could try to
call the libc restorer which likely wouldn't exist in the process address
space. So, it blocked off some signals, including SIGUSR1, on entry to the
SIGSEGV handler, queued a SIGUSR1 to itself, and invoked sigreturn. The
SIGUSR1 was delivered, and was visible to the UML kernel after sigreturn
finished.
The commit eliminated the signal masking and the call to sigreturn. The
handler simply hits itself with a SIGTRAP to let the UML kernel know that it
is finished. UML then restores the process registers, which effectively
longjmps the process out of the signal handler, skipping sigreturn's restoring
of register state and the signal mask.
The bug is that the host apparently sets used_fp to 0 when it saves the
process FP state in the sigcontext on the process signal stack. Thus, when
the process is longjmped out of the handler, its FP state is corrupt because
it wasn't saved on the context switch to the UML kernel.
This manifested itself as sleep hanging. For some reason, sleep uses floating
point in order to calculate the sleep interval. When a page fault corrupts
its FP state, it is faked into essentially sleeping forever.
This patch saves the FP state before entering the SIGSEGV handler and restores
it afterwards.

Fixes a sequencing bug in spi driver pxa2xx_spi.c in which the chip select
for a transfer may be asserted before the clock polarity is set on the
interface. As a result of this bug, the clock signal may have the wrong
polarity at transfer start, so it may need to make an extra half transition
before the intended clock/data signals begin. (This probably means all
transfers are one bit out of sequence.)
This only occurs on the first transfer following a change in clock polarity
in systems using more than one more than one such polarity. The fix
assures that the clock mode is properly set before asserting chip select.
This bug was introduced in a patch merged on 2006/12/10, kernel 2.6.20.
The patch defines an additional bit in: include/asm-arm/arch-pxa/regs-ssp.h
for 2.6.25 and newer kernels but this addition must be made in:
include/asm-arm/arch-pxa/pxa-regs.h for kernels between 2.6.20 and 2.6.24,
inclusive

The atmel_spi driver does not initialize clock polarity correctly (except for
at91rm9200 CS0 channel) in some case.
The atmel_spi driver uses gpio-controlled chipselect. OTOH spi clock signal
is controlled by CSRn.CPOL bit, but this register controls clock signal
correctly only in 'real transfer' duration. At the time of cs_activate()
call, CSRn.CPOL will be initialized correctly, but the controller do not know
which channel is to be used next, so clock signal will stay at the inactive
state of last transfer. If clock polarity of new transfer and last transfer
was differ, new transfer will start with wrong clock signal state.
For example, if you started SPI MODE 2 or 3 transfer after SPI MODE 0 or 1
transfer, the clock signal state at the assertion of chipselect will be low.
Of course this will violates SPI transfer.
This patch is short term solution for this problem. It makes all CSRn.CPOL
match for the transfer before activating chipselect. For longer term, the
best fix might be to let NPCS0 stay selected permanently in MR and overwrite
CSR0 with to the new slave's settings before asserting CS.

There seems to be a bug in the PM_SPECIAL macro for /proc/pid/pagemap. I
think masking out those other bits makes more sense then setting all those
mask bits.

I added a nasty local variable shadowing bug to fuse in 2.6.24, with the
result, that the 'default_permissions' mount option is basically ignored.
How did this happen?
- old err declaration in inner scope
- new err getting declared in outer scope
- 'return err' from inner scope getting removed
- old declaration not being noticed
-Wshadow would have saved us, but it doesn't seem practical for
the kernel :(
More testing would have also saved us :((

2.6.25-rc1 percpu changes broke CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT's per_cpu checking
on several architectures. On s390, sparc64 and x86 it's been weakened to
not checking at all; whereas on powerpc64 it's become too strict, issuing
warnings from __raw_get_cpu_var in io_schedule and init_timer for example.
Fix this by weakening powerpc's __my_cpu_offset to use the non-checking
local_paca instead of get_paca (which itself contains such a check);
and strengthening the generic my_cpu_offset to go the old slow way via
smp_processor_id when CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT (debug_smp_processor_id is
where all the knowledge of what's correct when lives).

During the last step of hibernation in the "platform" mode (with the
help of ACPI) we use the suspend code, including the devices'
->suspend() methods, to prepare the system for entering the ACPI S4
system sleep state.
But at least for some devices the operations performed by the
->suspend() callback in that case must be different from its operations
during regular suspend.
For this reason, introduce the new PM event type PM_EVENT_HIBERNATE and
pass it to the device drivers' ->suspend() methods during the last phase
of hibernation, so that they can distinguish this case and handle it as
appropriate. Modify the drivers that handle PM_EVENT_SUSPEND in a
special way and need to handle PM_EVENT_HIBERNATE in the same way.
These changes are necessary to fix a hibernation regression related
to the i915 driver (ref. http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/2/22/488).
