Linus Torvalds 0b832a4b93 Revert "ext2/ext3/ext4: add block bitmap validation"
This reverts commit 7c9e69faa2, fixing up
conflicts in fs/ext4/balloc.c manually.

The cost of doing the bitmap validation on each lookup - even when the
bitmap is cached - is absolutely prohibitive.  We could, and probably
should, do it only when adding the bitmap to the buffer cache.  However,
right now we are better off just reverting it.

Peter Zijlstra measured the cost of this extra validation as a 85%
decrease in cached iozone, and while I had a patch that took it down to
just 17% by not being _quite_ so stupid in the validation, it was still
a big slowdown that could have been avoided by just doing it right.

If CONFIG_NET_NS is not set, the only namespace is possible.

This patch removes list of pernet_operations and cleanups code a bit.
This list is not needed if there are no namespaces. We should just call
->init method.

Additionally, the ->exit will be called on module unloading only. This
case is safe - the code is not discarded. For the in/kernel code, ->exit
should never be called.

Olof Johansson 9bafbb0c4d [POWERPC] Fix CONFIG_SMP=n build error on ppc64
The patch "KVM: fix !SMP build error" change the way smp_call_function()
actually uses the passed in function names on non-SMP builds.  So
previously it was never caught that the function passed in was never
actually defined.

This causes a build error on ppc64_defconfig + CONFIG_SMP=n:

arch/powerpc/mm/tlb_64.c: In function 'pgtable_free_now':
arch/powerpc/mm/tlb_64.c:71: error: 'pte_free_smp_sync' undeclared (first use in this function)
arch/powerpc/mm/tlb_64.c:71: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
arch/powerpc/mm/tlb_64.c:71: error: for each function it appears in.)

So we need to define it even if CONFIG_SMP is off. Either that or ifdef
out the smp_call_function() call, but that's ugly.

Becky Bruce b64f87c16f [POWERPC] Avoid unpaired stwcx. on some processors
The context switch code in the kernel issues a dummy stwcx. to clear the
reservation, as recommended by the architecture.  However, some processors
can have issues if this stwcx to address A occurs while the reservation
is already held to a different address B.  To avoid this problem, the dummy
stwcx. needs to be paired with a dummy lwarx to the same address.

This adds the dummy lwarx, and creates a cpu feature bit to indicate
which cpus are affected.  Tested on mpc8641_hpcn_defconfig in
arch/powerpc; build tested in arch/ppc.

5784 and 5764 devices fail to link / pass traffic after one load /

During normal operation, the MAC depends on the PHY clock being

is disabled.  The fix is to switch the MAC clock to an alternate source
before powering down the PHY, and to restore the MAC clock to the PHY

Matt Carlson c88864df27 [TG3]: Fix 5761 PXEboot crash
When 5761 devices boot the machine using PXEboot, PXE leaves the device
active when it terminates.  The tg3 driver has code to detect this
condition and resets the device during initialization.  On 5761 devices,
device resets involve sending a driver state update message to the APE
on the 5761.  However, during this initialization stage, communications
to the APE registers have not yet been set up.  The driver then
dereferences a NULL pointer and crashes the machine.  The fix is to move
the APE register access setup earlier in the initialization code to
cover this condition.

Commit bea3348e (the NAPI changes) made sungem unconditionally enable
NAPI when resuming and unconditionally disable when suspending, this,
however, makes napi_disable() hang when suspending when the interface
was taken down before suspend because taking the interface down also
disables NAPI. This patch makes touching the napi struct in
suspend/resume code paths depend on having the interface up, thereby
fixing the hang on suspend.

that the NAPI state is always modified atomically together with the

Roland McGrath 325d22df7b sigwait eats blocked default-ignore signals
While a signal is blocked, it must be posted even if its action is
SIG_IGN or is SIG_DFL with the default action to ignore.  This works
right most of the time, but is broken when a sigwait (rt_sigtimedwait)
is in progress.  This changes the early-discard check to respect
real_blocked.  ~blocked is the set to check for "should wake up now",
but ~(blocked|real_blocked) is the set for "blocked" semantics as
defined by POSIX.

J. Bruce Fields 6fa02839bf nfsd4: recheck for secure ports in fh_verify
As with commit 7fc90ec93a ("knfsd: nfsd:
call nfsd_setuser() on fh_compose(), fix nfsd4 permissions problem")
this is a case where we need to redo a security check in fh_verify()
even though the filehandle already has an associated dentry--if the
filehandle was created by fh_compose() in an earlier operation of the
nfsv4 compound, then we may not have done these checks yet.

Without this fix it is possible, for example, to traverse from an export
without the secure ports requirement to one with it in a single
compound, and bypass the secure port check on the new export.

While we're here, fix up some minor style problems and change a printk()
to a dprintk(), to make it harder for random unprivileged users to spam
the logs.

Linus Torvalds 44048d700b Revert "Bias the placement of kernel pages at lower PFNs"
This reverts commit 5adc5be7cd.

Alexey Dobriyan reports that it causes huge slowdowns under some loads,
in his case a "mkfs.ext2" on a 30G partition.  With the placement bias,
the mkfs took over four minutes, with it reverted it's back to about ten
seconds for Alexey.

Sam Ravnborg daa93fab82 x86: enable "make ARCH=x86"
After unification of the Kconfig files and
introducing K64BIT support in kconfig
it required only trivial changes to enable
"make ARCH=x86".

With this patch you can build for x86_64 in several ways:
1) make ARCH=x86_64
2) make ARCH=x86 K64BIT=y
3) make ARCH=x86 menuconfig
   => select 64-bit

Likewise for i386 with the addition that
i386 is default is you say ARCH=x86.

Sam Ravnborg d746d647f3 x86: do not use $(ARCH) when not needed
For x86 ARCH may say i386 or x86_64 and soon x86.
Rely on CONFIG_X64_32 to select between 32/64 or just
hardcode the value as appropriate.

Sam Ravnborg 2a113281f5 kconfig: use $K64BIT to set 64BIT with all*config targets
The variable K64BIT can now be used to select the
value of CONFIG_64BIT.

This is for example useful for powerpc to generate
allmodconfig for both bit sizes - like this:
make ARCH=powerpc K64BIT=y
make ARCH=powerpc K64BIT=n

To use this the Kconfig file must use "64BIT" as the
config value to select between 32 and 64 bit.

Sam Ravnborg 0f855aa64b kconfig: add helper to set config symbol from environment variable
Add conf_set_env_sym() that can set an already defined symbol
based on the value of an environment variable.

Unknown symbols are silently ignored.
A warning is printed if the value of the environment variable
is unexpected.
