Scott Wood 5bd3670f31 fs_enet: Don't call phy_mii_ioctl() in atomic context.
The lock acquisition in fs_ioctl() does not appear to actually be necessary,

Thomas Klein 21eee2dd1b ehea: add kdump support
This patch adds kdump support to the ehea driver. As the firmware doesn't free
resource handles automatically, the driver has to run an as simple as possible
free resource function in case of a crash shutdown. The function iterates over
two arrays freeing all resource handles which are stored there. The arrays are
kept up-to-date during normal runtime. The crash handler fn is triggered by the
recently introduced PPC crash shutdown reg/unreg functions.

Pavel Emelyanov 34cc7ba639 [IP_TUNNEL]: Don't limit the number of tunnels with generic name explicitly.
Use the added dev_alloc_name() call to create tunnel device name,
rather than iterate in a hand-made loop with an artificial limit.

Thanks Patrick for noticing this.

[ The way this works is, when the device is actually registered,
  the generic code noticed the '%' in the name and invokes
  dev_alloc_name() to fully resolve the name.  -DaveM ]

Pavel Emelyanov bc4bf5f38c [NEIGH]: Fix race between neighbor lookup and table's hash_rnd update.
The neigh_hash_grow() may update the tbl->hash_rnd value, which 
is used in all tbl->hash callbacks to calculate the hashval.

Two lookup routines may race with this, since they call the 
->hash callback without the tbl->lock held. Since the hash_rnd
is changed with this lock write-locked moving the calls to ->hash
under this lock read-locked closes this gap.

Thomas Graf 1840bb13c2 [RTNL]: Validate hardware and broadcast address attribute for RTM_NEWLINK
RTM_NEWLINK allows for already existing links to be modified. For this
purpose do_setlink() is called which expects address attributes with a
payload length of at least dev->addr_len. This patch adds the necessary
validation for the RTM_NEWLINK case.

The address length for links to be created is not checked for now as the
actual attribute length is used when copying the address to the netdevice
structure. It might make sense to report an error if less than addr_len
bytes are provided but enforcing this might break drivers trying to be
smart with not transmitting all zero addresses.

Linus Torvalds 04e2f1741d Add memory barrier semantics to wake_up() & co
Oleg Nesterov and others have pointed out that on some architectures,
the traditional sequence of

	set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE);
	if (CONDITION)
		return;
	schedule();

is racy wrt another CPU doing

	CONDITION = 1;
	wake_up_process(p);

because while set_current_state() has a memory barrier separating
setting of the TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE state from reading of the CONDITION
variable, there is no such memory barrier on the wakeup side.

Now, wake_up_process() does actually take a spinlock before it reads and
sets the task state on the waking side, and on x86 (and many other
architectures) that spinlock is in fact equivalent to a memory barrier,
but that is not generally guaranteed.  The write that sets CONDITION
could move into the critical region protected by the runqueue spinlock.

However, adding a smp_wmb() to before the spinlock should now order the
writing of CONDITION wrt the lock itself, which in turn is ordered wrt
the accesses within the spinlock (which includes the reading of the old
state).

This should thus close the race (which probably has never been seen in
practice, but since smp_wmb() is a no-op on x86, it's not like this will
make anything worse either on the most common architecture where the
spinlock already gave the required protection).

Oleg Nesterov 02c608c1fe documentation: atomic_add_unless() doesn't imply mb() on failure
(sorry for being offtpoic, but while experts are here...)

A "typical" implementation of atomic_add_unless() can return 0 immediately
after the first atomic_read() (before doing cmpxchg). In that case it doesn't
provide any barrier semantics. See include/asm-ia64/atomic.h as an example.

We should either change the implementation, or fix the docs.

WARNING: vmlinux.o(.meminit.text+0x649):
Section mismatch in reference from the
function free_area_init_core() to the function .init.text:setup_usemap()
The function __meminit free_area_init_core() references
a function __init setup_usemap().
If free_area_init_core is only used by setup_usemap then
annotate free_area_init_core with a matching annotation.

The warning is covers this stack of functions in mm/page_alloc.c:

alloc_bootmem_node must be marked __init.
alloc_bootmem_node is used by setup_usemap, if !SPARSEMEM.
(usemap_size is only used by setup_usemap, if !SPARSEMEM.)
setup_usemap is only used by free_area_init_core.
free_area_init_core is only used by free_area_init_node.

free_area_init_node is used by:
arch/alpha/mm/numa.c: __init paging_init()
arch/arm/mm/init.c: __init bootmem_init_node()
arch/avr32/mm/init.c: __init paging_init()

mm/page_alloc.c: __init free_area_init_nodes()
mm/page_alloc.c: __init free_area_init()
and
mm/memory_hotplug.c: hotadd_new_pgdat()

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.

Compile-tested on:
silly minimal config
defconfig x86_32
defconfig x86_64
defconfig x86_64 -HIBERNATION +MEMORY_HOTPLUG

Andi Kleen 0835ab53ea cgroup memory controller: document huge memory/cache overhead in Kconfig
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.

Richard Kennedy 00d6296145 kernel-doc: fix function-pointer-parameter parsing
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).

Thomas Gleixner a0c1e9073e futex: runtime enable pi and robust functionality
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.

Thomas Gleixner 3e4ab747ef futex: fix init order
When the futex init code fails to initialize the futex pseudo file system it
returns early without initializing the hash queues.  Should the boot succeed
then a futex syscall which tries to enqueue a waiter on the hashqueue will
crash due to the unitilialized plist heads.

Initialize the hash queues before the filesystem.

Jean Delvare 43fe105a5c dmi: prevent linked list corruption
Adding the same item to a given linked list more than once is guaranteed
to break and corrupt the list.  This is however what we do in dmi_scan
since commit 79da472111 ("x86: fix DMI out
of memory problems").

Given that there is absolutely no interest in saving empty OEM strings
anyway, I propose the simple and efficient fix below: we discard the empty
OEM strings altogether.

Merge include/linux/efs_fs{_i,_dir}.h into fs/efs/efs.h.  efs_vh.h remains
there because this is the IRIX volume header and shouldn't really be
handled by efs but by the partitioning code.  efs_sb.h remains there for
now because it's exported to userspace.  Of course this wrong and aboot
should have a copy of it's own, but I'll leave that to a separate patch to

Paul Clements 48f15b93b2 NBD: make nbd default to deadline I/O scheduler
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)

Jeff Dike 2f56debd77 uml: fix FP register corruption
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.

For the "cmos" RTC, have /proc/driver/rtc say whether HPET based IRQ
emulation is in effect.  Given the problems we've had with this particular
hardware maldesign (and the fact that most BIOS code seems not to provide
the IRQ routing needed to use the saner HPET modes), this should help
troubleshooting.
