x86: correctly set UTS_MACHINE for "make ARCH=x86"
For a kernel built with "make ARCH=x86" the following system
information is displayed when running the new kernel
$ uname -m
x86
On some i386 systems (e.g. K7) we even have the following information
$ uname -m
x66
This is weird. The usual information for "uname -m" should be "x86_64"
on 64-bit and "i386" or "i686" on 32-bit.
This patch fixes the issue by setting UTS_MACHINE to "i386" for 32-bit
kernel builds and to "x86_64" for 64-bit kernel builds. I.e., "x86"
won't be used for UTS_MACHINE anymore.

Sibyte SOCs only have 32-bit PCI. Due to the sparse use of the address
space only the first 1GB of memory is mapped at physical addresses
below 1GB. If a system has more than 1GB of memory 32-bit DMA will
not be able to reach all of it.
For now this patch is good enough to keep Sibyte users happy but it seems

Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>
The R4000 and R4400 have an errata where if the cp0 count register is read
in the exact moment when it matches the compare register no interrupt will
be generated.
This bug may be triggered if the cp0 count register is being used as
clocksource and the compare interrupt as clockevent. So a simple
workaround is to avoid using the compare for both facilities on the
affected CPUs.
This is different from the workaround suggested in the old errata documents;
at some opportunity probably the official version should be implemented
and tested. Another thing to find out is which processor versions
exactly are affected. I only have errata documents upto R4400 V3.0
available so for the moment the code treats all R4000 and R4400 as broken.
This is potencially a problem for some machines that have no other decent
clocksource available; this workaround will cause them to fall back to
another clocksource, worst case the "jiffies" source.

: "=r" (ret), "=&r" (oldval), "=R" (*uaddr)
: "0" (0), "R" (*uaddr), "Jr" (oparg), "i" (-EFAULT)
: "memory");
The branch at the end of the fixup code, it goes back to the SC
instruction, no matter if the fault was first taken by the LL or SC
instruction resulting in an endless loop which will only terminate if
the address become valid again due to another thread setting up an
accessible mapping and the CPU happens to execute the SC instruction
successfully which due to the preceeding ERET instruction of the fault
handler would only happen if UNPREDICTABLE instruction behaviour of the
SC instruction without a preceeding LL happens to favor that outcome.
But normally processes are nice, pass valid arguments and we were just
getting away with this.

A new born thread starts execution not in schedule but rather in
ret_from_fork which results in it bypassing the part of the code to
load a new context written in C which are the DSP context and the
userlocal register which Linux uses for the TLS pointer. Frequently
we were just getting away with this bug for a number of reasons:
o Real world application scenarios are very unlikely to use clone or fork
in blocks of DSP code.
o Linux by default runs the child process right after the fork, so the
child by luck will find all the right context in the DSP and userlocal
registers.
o So far the rdhwr instruction was emulated on all hardware so userlocal
wasn't getting referenced at all and the emulation wasn't suffering
from the issue since it gets it's value straight from the thread's
thread_info.
Fixed by moving the code to load the context from switch_to() to
finish_arch_switch which will be called by newborn and old threads.

None of the drives I have follows what the standard says about
transfer chunk size. Of the four SATA and six PATA ATAPI devices
tested, four ignore transfer chunk size completely and the ones which
honor it don't behave according to the spec when it's odd.
According to the spec, transfer chunk size can be odd if the amount of
data to transfer equals or is smaller than the chunk size and the
device can indicate the same odd number and transfer the whole thing
at one go with a pad byte appended. However, in reality, none of the
drives I have does that. They all indicate and transfer even number
of bytes one byte shorter than the chunk size first; then indicate and
transfer two bytes, which is clearly out of spec.
In addition to unnecessary second PIO data phase, this also creates a
weird problem when combined with SATA controllers which perform PIO
via DMA. Some of these controllers use actualy number of bytes
received to update DMA pointer so chunks which are sized 4n + 2 makes
DMA pointer off by two bytes. This causes data corruption and buffer
overruns.
This patch rounds nbytes up to the nearest even number such that ATAPI
devices don't split data transfer for the last odd byte. This
shouldn't confuse controllers which depend on transfer chunk size as
devices will report the rounded-up number, actually transfer that much
and padding buffer is there to receive them.

The inet_ehash_locks_alloc() looks like this:

x = kmalloc(...);
Unlike it, the inet_ehash_locks_alloc() looks like this:
#ifdef CONFIG_NUMA
if (size > PAGE_SIZE)
vfree(x);
else
#else
kfree(x);

The error is obvious - if the NUMA is on and the size
is less than the PAGE_SIZE we leak the pointer (kfree is
inside the #else branch).
Compiler doesn't warn us because after the kfree(x) there's
a "x = NULL" assignment, so here's another (minor?) bug: we

The change 050f009e16
[IPSEC]: Lock state when copying non-atomic fields to user-space
caused a regression.
Ingo Molnar reports that it causes a potential dead-lock found by the
lock validator as it tries to take x->lock within xfrm_state_lock while
numerous other sites take the locks in opposite order.
For 2.6.24, the best fix is to simply remove the added locks as that puts
us back in the same state as we've been in for years. For later kernels
a proper fix would be to reverse the locking order for every xfrm state
user such that if x->lock is taken together with xfrm_state_lock then
it is to be taken within it.

While adding sg chaining support to iSER, a "for" loop was replaced
with a "for_each_sg" loop. The "for" loop included the incrementation

unaligned, and all data was copied to aligned buffers.
