Ingo Molnar 529c77261b sched: improve rq-clock overflow logic
improve the rq-clock overflow logic: limit the absolute rq->clock
delta since the last scheduler tick, instead of limiting the delta
itself.

tested by Arjan van de Ven - whole laptop was misbehaving due to
an incorrectly calibrated cpu_khz confusing sched_clock().

Michael Holzheu 4eac34529b [S390] vmur: add "top of queue" sanity check for reader open
If the z/VM reader is already open, it can happen that after opening the
Linux reader device, not the topmost file is processed. According the
semantics of the Linux z/VM unit record device driver, always the topmost
file has to be processed. With this fix an error is returned if that is
not the case.

If a reader file with HOLD status is at the top of the reader queue, currently
all read requests will return data of the second file in the queue. But the

-EPERM is returned on open, if the topmost reader file is in HOLD status.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt d1f5a77f2c [POWERPC] Fix size check for hugetlbfs
My "slices" address space management code that was added in the 2.6.22
implementation of get_unmapped_area() doesn't properly check that the
size is a multiple of the requested page size.  This allows userland to
create VMAs that aren't a multiple of the huge page size with hugetlbfs
(since hugetlbfs entirely relies on get_unmapped_area() to do that
checking) which leads to a kernel BUG() when such areas are torn down.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt 8f2ea1fd3f [POWERPC] Fix initialization and usage of dma_mask
powerpc has a couple of bugs in the usage of dma_masks that tend to
break when drivers explicitly try to set a 32-bit mask for example.

First, the code that generates the pci devices from the OF device-tree
doesn't initialize the mask properly, then our implementation of
set_dma_mask() was trying to validate the -previous- mask value, not the
one passed in as an argument.

This fixes these problems.

That commit was a mistake from the start; I added mdio type to the

which is just pure wrong (the ucc_geth_mii driver creates the mii
bus and the PHY layer handles PHY enumeration without translation).

slb_flush_and_rebolt() if the kernel stack was in the same segment

Also we were not creating an SLB entry (or an SLB shadow buffer

be created on demand, but this fixes that also for consistency.

Christoph Lameter 1ceef40249 SLUB: Fix dynamic dma kmalloc cache creation
The dynamic dma kmalloc creation can run into trouble if a
GFP_ATOMIC allocation is the first one performed for a certain size
of dma kmalloc slab.

- Move the adding of the slab to sysfs into a workqueue
  (sysfs does GFP_KERNEL allocations)
- Do not call kmem_cache_destroy() (uses slub_lock)
- Only acquire the slub_lock once and--if we cannot wait--do a trylock.

  This introduces a slight risk of the first kmalloc(x, GFP_DMA|GFP_ATOMIC)
  for a range of sizes failing due to another process holding the slub_lock.
  However, we only need to acquire the spinlock once in order to establish
  each power of two DMA kmalloc cache. The possible conflict is with the
  slub_lock taken during slab management actions (create / remove slab cache).

  It is rather typical that a driver will first fill its buffers using
  GFP_KERNEL allocations which will wait until the slub_lock can be acquired.
  Drivers will also create its slab caches first outside of an atomic
  context before starting to use atomic kmalloc from an interrupt context.

  If there are any failures then they will occur early after boot or when
  loading of multiple drivers concurrently. Drivers can already accomodate
  failures of GFP_ATOMIC for other reasons. Retries will then create the slab.

Christoph Lameter fcda3d89bf SLUB: Remove checks for MAX_PARTIAL from kmem_cache_shrink
The MAX_PARTIAL checks were supposed to be an optimization. However, slab
shrinking is a manually triggered process either through running slabinfo
or by the kernel calling kmem_cache_shrink.

If one really wants to shrink a slab then all operations should be done
regardless of the size of the partial list. This also fixes an issue that
could surface if the number of partial slabs was initially above MAX_PARTIAL
in kmem_cache_shrink and later drops below MAX_PARTIAL through the
elimination of empty slabs on the partial list (rare). In that case a few
slabs may be left off the partial list (and only be put back when they
are empty).

Ronald G. Minnich e3bcf5e278 lguest: avoid shared libraries mapped over guest memory
Some versions of ld.so mmap the shared libraries right in over guest
memory, so compile lguest statically by default.

[ FC7 maps shared libraries very low, where the launcher maps guest's
  physical memory.  Quick fix is to link Launcher static, real fix is
  for 2.6.24. ]

-static is a simple fix. I expect this problem will be more common than we
like, as different distro's make different "improvements" to ld.so

Rusty Russell 0d027c01cd lguest: Fix Malicious Guest GDT Host Crash
If a Guest makes hypercall which sets a GDT entry to not present, we
currently set any segment registers using that GDT entry to 0.
Unfortunately, this is not sufficient: there are other ways of
altering GDT entries which will cause a fault.

The correct solution to do what Linux does: let them set any GDT value
they want and handle the #GP when popping causes a fault.  This has
the added benefit of making our Switcher slightly more robust in the
case of any other bugs which cause it to fault.

We kill the Guest if it causes a fault in the Switcher: it's the
Guest's responsibility to make sure it's not using segments when it
changes them.

Rusty Russell 37250097e1 Fix non-TSC guest clocksource lockup
lguest uses a host-supplied wallclock-based clocksource when the TSC
is not reliable.  As this is already in nanoseconds, I naively used a
multiplier of 1 and a shift of 0.

But update_wall_time() in its infinite wisdom decides to adjust the
clock a little (where does it think it's getting a more accurate time
from?)

It will happily tweak the multiplier... to 0, then -1.

So the "fix" is to use a shift of 22 like everyone else, and a
multiplier of 1 << 22.

Linus Torvalds 88ffc35059 Revert "genirq: temporary fix for level-triggered IRQ resend"
This reverts commit 0fc4969b86.  It was
always meant to be temporary, but it's generating more useless noise
than anything else, and we probably should never have done it in the
generic kernel (only had the people involved test it on their own).
