Haavard Skinnemoen 9c8f8e7524 [AVR32] Add basic HMATRIX support
This adds register and clock definitions for the High-speed bus Matrix
(HMATRIX) as well as a function that can be used to configure special
EBI functionality like CompactFlash and NAND flash support.

Andi Kleen 90767bd13f [PATCH] x86-64: Always flush all pages in change_page_attr
change_page_attr on x86-64 only flushed the TLB for pages that got
reverted. That's not correct: it has to be flushed in all cases.

This bug was added in some earlier changes.

Just flush all pages for now.

This could be done more efficiently, but for this late in the release
this seem to be the best fix.

Andi Kleen 9ce883becb [PATCH] x86: Remove noreplacement option
noreplacement is dangerous on modern systems because it will not replace the
context switch FNSAVE with SSE aware FXSAVE. But other places in the kernel still assume
SSE and do FXSAVE and the CPU will then access FXSAVE information with
FNSAVE and cause corruption.

Easiest way to avoid this is to remove the option. It was mostly for paranoia
reasons anyways and alternative()s have been stable for some time.

Thanks to Jeremy F. for reporting and helping debug it.

This patches fixes the silent data corruption problems being seen using the
GART iommu where 4kB of data where incorrect (seen mostly on Nvidia CK804

uncacheable, also brings the code in line with the AGP specification.

Atsushi Nemoto faea623464 [MIPS] Retry {save,restore}_fp_context if failed in atomic context.
The save_fp_context()/restore_fp_context() might sleep on accessing
user stack and therefore might lose FPU ownership in middle of them.

If these function failed due to "in_atomic" test in do_page_fault,
touch the sigcontext area in non-atomic context and retry these
save/restore operation.

Roland McGrath 1d51c69fb6 [SPARC]: avoid CHILD_MAX and OPEN_MAX constants
I don't figure anyone really cares about SunOS syscall emulation, and I
certainly don't.  But I'm getting rid of uses of the OPEN_MAX and CHILD_MAX
compile-time constant, and these are almost the only ones.  OPEN_MAX is a
bogus constant with no meaning about anything.  The RLIMIT_NOFILE resource
limit is what sysconf (_SC_OPEN_MAX) actually wants to return.

The CHILD_MAX cases weren't actually using anything I want to get rid of,
but I noticed that they are there and are wrong too.  The CHILD_MAX value
is not really unlimited as a -1 return from sysconf indicates.  The
RLIMIT_NPROC resource limit is what sysconf (_SC_CHILD_MAX) wants to return.

There are several IOMMU allocator bugs.  Instead of trying to fix this
overly complicated code, just mirror the PCI IOMMU arena allocator

I tried to make the code as identical as possible so we can switch

will be need are two callbacks, one to do a full IOMMU flush and one
to do a streaming buffer flush.

Zachary Amsden 49f1971051 [PATCH] Proper fix for highmem kmap_atomic functions for VMI for 2.6.21
Since lazy MMU batching mode still allows interrupts to enter, it is
possible for interrupt handlers to try to use kmap_atomic, which fails when
lazy mode is active, since the PTE update to highmem will be delayed.  The
best workaround is to issue an explicit flush in kmap_atomic_functions
case; this is the only way nested PTE updates can happen in the interrupt
handler.

The __copy_to_user_inatomic() calls in file_read_actor() and pipe_read()

during the 2.5 series to fix a race vs. swap.

Return the number of bytes to copy in the case where we are in an atomic
region, so the non atomic code pathes in file_read_actor() and
pipe_read() are taken.

This could be optimized to avoid the kmap_atomicby moving the check for
WP-works-ok into fault_in_pages_writeable(), but this is more intrusive
and can be done later.

Rafael J. Wysocki 1d64b9cb1d [PATCH] Fix microcode-related suspend problem
Fix the regression resulting from the recent change of suspend code
ordering that causes systems based on Intel x86 CPUs using the microcode
driver to hang during the resume.

The problem occurs since the microcode driver uses request_firmware() in
its CPU hotplug notifier, which is called after tasks has been frozen and
hangs.  It can be fixed by telling the microcode driver to use the
microcode stored in memory during the resume instead of trying to load it
from disk.

Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso 10fa1155a2 [PATCH] uml: fix unreasonably long udelay
Currently we have a confused udelay implementation.

* __const_udelay does not accept usecs but xloops in i386 and x86_64
* our implementation requires usecs as arg
* it gets a xloops count when called by asm/arch/delay.h

Bugs related to this (extremely long shutdown times) where reported by some
x86_64 users, especially using Device Mapper.

To hit this bug, a compile-time constant time parameter must be passed -
that's why UML seems to work most times.  Fix this with a simple udelay
implementation.

Zwane Mwaikambo a369a7100d [PATCH] x86: Don't probe for DDC on VBE1.2
VBE1.2 doesn't support function 15h (DDC) resulting in a 'hang' whilst
uncompressing kernel with some video cards. Make sure we check VBE version
before fiddling around with DDC.

Much thanks to Tobias Hain for help in testing and investigating the bug.
Tested on;

i386, Chips & Technologies 65548 VESA VBE 1.2
CONFIG_VIDEO_SELECT=Y
CONFIG_FIRMWARE_EDID=Y

Untested on x86_64.
