Thomas Koeller had reported an issue where a device that had been making use
of the UART_BUG_TXEN code in the 8250 driver was mistakenly being caught by
the backup timer test, causing the device to work improperly.
To fix this, tighten the test requirements to enable the backup timer
workaround.
The backup timer is really meant to catch UARTs that don't re-assert the THRE
interrupt. The expectation is that they do initially assert THRE. This patch
clarifies the test.

Russell King noticed this one: We have to avoid replacing B0 when we pick a
baud rate for a "hung up" port. Ugly but the proper fix is in the tty layer
and means changing the tty<->serial interfaces so we will defer that for now.

We try and write the correct speed back but the serial midlayer already
mangles the speed on us and that means if we request B0 we report back B9600
when we should not. For now we'll hack around this in the drivers and serial
code, pending a better long term solution.

Filesystem capability support makes it possible to do away with (set)uid-0
based privilege and use capabilities instead. That is, with filesystem
support for capabilities but without this present patch, it is (conceptually)
possible to manage a system with capabilities alone and never need to obtain
privilege via (set)uid-0.
Of course, conceptually isn't quite the same as currently possible since few
user applications, certainly not enough to run a viable system, are currently
prepared to leverage capabilities to exercise privilege. Further, many
applications exist that may never get upgraded in this way, and the kernel
will continue to want to support their setuid-0 base privilege needs.
Where pure-capability applications evolve and replace setuid-0 binaries, it is
desirable that there be a mechanisms by which they can contain their
privilege. In addition to leveraging the per-process bounding and inheritable
sets, this should include suppressing the privilege of the uid-0 superuser
from the process' tree of children.
The feature added by this patch can be leveraged to suppress the privilege
associated with (set)uid-0. This suppression requires CAP_SETPCAP to
initiate, and only immediately affects the 'current' process (it is inherited
through fork()/exec()). This reimplementation differs significantly from the
historical support for securebits which was system-wide, unwieldy and which
has ultimately withered to a dead relic in the source of the modern kernel.
With this patch applied a process, that is capable(CAP_SETPCAP), can now drop
all legacy privilege (through uid=0) for itself and all subsequently
fork()'d/exec()'d children with:
prctl(PR_SET_SECUREBITS, 0x2f);
This patch represents a no-op unless CONFIG_SECURITY_FILE_CAPABILITIES is
enabled at configure time.

Don't perform kobjsize operations on objects the kernel doesn't manage.
On Blackfin, drivers can get dma coherent memory by calling a function
dma_alloc_coherent(). We do this in nommu by configuring a chunk of uncached
memory at the top of memory.
Since we don't want the kernel to use the uncached memory, we lie to the
kernel, and tell it that it's max memory is between 0, and the start of the
uncached dma coherent section.
this all works well, until this memory gets exposed into userspace (with a
frame buffer), when you look at the process's maps, it shows the framebuf:
root:/proc> cat maps
[snip]
03f0ef00-03f34700 rw-p 00000000 1f:00 192 /dev/fb0
root:/proc>
This is outside the "normal" range for the kernel. When the kernel tries to
find the size of this object (when you run ps), it dies in nommu.c in
kobjsize.
BUG_ON(page->index >= MAX_ORDER);
since the page we are referring to is outside what the kernel thinks is it's
max valid memory.
root:~> while [ 1 ]; ps > /dev/null; done
kernel BUG at mm/nommu.c:119!
Kernel panic - not syncing: BUG!
We fixed this by adding a check to reject out of range object pointers as it
already does that for NULL pointers.

This hack, "base = MAX_NR_ZONES", at __GFP_THISNODE was used for old

Now, new zonelist[] have a list for __GFP_THISNODE and this hack is incorrect.

This patch is to free memmaps which is allocated by bootmem.
Freeing usemap is not necessary. The pages of usemap may be necessary for
other sections.
If removing section is last section on the node, its section is the final user
of usemap page. (usemaps are allocated on its section by previous patch.) But
it shouldn't be freed too, because the section must be logical offline state
which all pages are isolated against page allocater. If it is freed, page
alloctor may use it which will be removed physically soon. It will be
disaster. So, this patch keeps it as it is.

Usemaps are allocated on the section which has pgdat by this.
Because usemap size is very small, many other sections usemaps are allocated
on only one page. If a section has usemap, it can't be removed until removing
other sections. This dependency is not desirable for memory removing.
Pgdat has similar feature. When a section has pgdat area, it must be the last
section for removing on the node. So, if section A has pgdat and section B
has usemap for section A, Both sections can't be removed due to dependency
each other.
To solve this issue, this patch collects usemap on same section with pgdat.
If other sections doesn't have any dependency, this section will be able to be
removed finally.

To free memmap easier, this patch aligns it to page size. Bootmem allocater
may mix some objects in one pages. It's not good for freeing memmap of memory
hot-remove.

This patch set is to free pages which is allocated by bootmem for
memory-hotremove. Some structures of memory management are allocated by
bootmem. ex) memmap, etc.
To remove memory physically, some of them must be freed according to
circumstance. This patch set makes basis to free those pages, and free
memmaps.
Basic my idea is using remain members of struct page to remember information
of users of bootmem (section number or node id). When the section is
removing, kernel can confirm it. By this information, some issues can be
solved.
1) When the memmap of removing section is allocated on other
section by bootmem, it should/can be free.
2) When the memmap of removing section is allocated on the
same section, it shouldn't be freed. Because the section has to be
logical memory offlined already and all pages must be isolated against
page allocater. If it is freed, page allocator may use it which will
be removed physically soon.
3) When removing section has other section's memmap,
kernel will be able to show easily which section should be removed
before it for user. (Not implemented yet)
4) When the above case 2), the page isolation will be able to check and skip
memmap's page when logical memory offline (offline_pages()).
Current page isolation code fails in this case because this page is
just reserved page and it can't distinguish this pages can be
removed or not. But, it will be able to do by this patch.
(Not implemented yet.)
5) The node information like pgdat has similar issues. But, this
will be able to be solved too by this.
(Not implemented yet, but, remembering node id in the pages.)
Fortunately, current bootmem allocator just keeps PageReserved flags,
and doesn't use any other members of page struct. The users of
bootmem doesn't use them too.
This patch:
This is to register information which is node or section's id. Kernel can
distinguish which node/section uses the pages allcated by bootmem. This is
basis for hot-remove sections or nodes.

Huge ptes have a special type on s390 and cannot be handled with the standard
pte functions in certain cases, e.g. because of a different location of the
invalid bit. This patch adds some new architecture- specific functions to
hugetlb common code, as a prerequisite for the s390 large page support.
This won't affect other architectures in functionality, but I need to add some
new dummy inline functions to the headers.

A cow break on a hugetlbfs page with page_count > 1 will set a new pte with
set_huge_pte_at(), w/o any tlb flush operation. The old pte will remain in
the tlb and subsequent write access to the page will result in a page fault
loop, for as long as it may take until the tlb is flushed from somewhere else.
This patch introduces an architecture-specific huge_ptep_clear_flush()
function, which is called before the the set_huge_pte_at() in hugetlb_cow().
ATTENTION: This is just a nop on all architectures for now, the s390
implementation will come with our large page patch later. Other architectures
should define their own huge_ptep_clear_flush() if needed.

This patch moves all architecture functions for hugetlb to architecture header
files (include/asm-foo/hugetlb.h) and converts all macros to inline functions.
It also removes (!) ARCH_HAS_HUGEPAGE_ONLY_RANGE,
ARCH_HAS_HUGETLB_FREE_PGD_RANGE, ARCH_HAS_PREPARE_HUGEPAGE_RANGE,
ARCH_HAS_SETCLEAR_HUGE_PTE and ARCH_HAS_HUGETLB_PREFAULT_HOOK.
Getting rid of the ARCH_HAS_xxx #ifdef and macro fugliness should increase
readability and maintainability, at the price of some code duplication. An
asm-generic common part would have reduced the loc, but we would end up with
new ARCH_HAS_xxx defines eventually.
