bbad0b669d [PATCH] x86_64: Remove __KERNEL__ ifdef around _syscall*()
After all their only point is having them in user space. On x86-64
they don't even work in kernel space.

40dd2d20f2 [PATCH] x86: Disable MMCONFIG on Intel SDV using DMI blacklist
As a replacement for the earlier removal of the e820 MCFG check
we blacklist the Intel SDV with the original BIOS bug that
motivated that check. On those machines don't use MMCONFIG.

This also adds a new pci=mmconf parameter to override the blacklist.

Instead just patch the lock prefix in the lock constructs. That is the

ceee882230 [PATCH] x86_64: Recover 1MB of kernel memory
Noticed by Jan Beulich.

When the kernel was moved from 1MB to 2MB in 2.6.17 the kernel reservation
code wasn't adjusted and it still reserved starting with 1MB. This means 1MB always
were lost.

This patch fixes this by reserving only starting with _text.

ea424055b7 [PATCH] x86: Make backtracer fallback logic more bullet-proof
The unwinder fallback logic still had potential for falling through to
the legacy stack trace code without printing an indication (at once
serving as a separator) of this.

Further, the stack pointer retrieval for the fallback should be as
restrictive as possible (in order to avoid having the legacy stack
tracer try to access invalid memory). The patch tightens that, but
this could certainly be further improved.

Also making the call_trace command line option now conditional upon
CONFIG_STACK_UNWIND (as it's meaningless otherwise).

11012d419c [PATCH] x86: Revert e820 MCFG heuristics
The check for the MCFG table being reserved in the e820 map was originally
added to detect a broken BIOS in a preproduction Intel SDV. However it also
breaks the Apple x86 Macs, which can't supply this properly, but need
a working MCFG. With this patch they wouldn't use the MCFG and not work.

After some discussion I think it's best to remove the heuristic again.
It also failed on some other boxes (although it didn't cause much
problems there because old style port access for PCI config space
still works as fallback), but the preproduction SDVs can just use
pci=nommcfg. Supporting production machines properly is more
important.

Edgar Hucek did all the debugging work.

47f2c3604f [SPARC64]: Fix X server hangs due to large pages.
This problem was introduced by changeset
14778d9072

Unlike the hugetlb code paths, the normal fault code is not setup to
propagate PTE changes for large page sizes correctly like the ones we
make for I/O mappings in io_remap_pfn_range().

It is absolutely necessary to update all sub-ptes of a largepage
mapping on a fault.  Adding special handling for this would add
considerably complexity to tlb_batch_add().  So let's just side-step
the issue and forcefully dirty any writable PTEs created by
io_remap_pfn_range().

The only other real option would be to disable to large PTE code of
io_remap_pfn_range() and we really don't want to do that.

Much thanks to Mikael Pettersson for tracking down this problem and
testing debug patches.

57f5f544f5 [IPV6]: ipv6_add_addr should install dstentry earlier
ipv6_add_addr allocates a struct inet6_ifaddr and a dstentry, but it
doesn't install the dstentry in ifa->rt until after it releases the
addrconf_hash_lock. This means other CPUs will be able to see the new
address while it hasn't been initialized completely yet.

One possible fix would be to grab the ifp->lock spinlock when
creating the address struct; a simpler fix is to just move the
assignment.

76d0cc1b64 [IPV6]: SNMPv2 "ipv6IfStatsInAddrErrors" counter error
When I tested Linux kernel 2.6.17.7 about statistics
"ipv6IfStatsInAddrErrors", found that this counter couldn't increase
correctly. The criteria is RFC2465:
 ipv6IfStatsInAddrErrors OBJECT-TYPE
      SYNTAX      Counter32
      MAX-ACCESS  read-only
      STATUS      current
      DESCRIPTION
         "The number of input datagrams discarded because
         the IPv6 address in their IPv6 header's destination
         field was not a valid address to be received at
         this entity.  This count includes invalid
         addresses (e.g., ::0) and unsupported addresses
         (e.g., addresses with unallocated prefixes).  For
         entities which are not IPv6 routers and therefore
         do not forward datagrams, this counter includes
         datagrams discarded because the destination address
         was not a local address."
      ::= { ipv6IfStatsEntry 5 }

When I send packet to host with destination that is ether invalid
address(::0) or unsupported addresses(1::1), the Linux kernel just
discard the packet, and the counter doesn't increase(in the function
ip6_pkt_discard).

Patch from Lennert Buytenhek

On armv4t systems, we have always compiled the kernel with -march=armv4
instead of -march=armv4t, which means that any use of bx will bomb out.

Commit ba9b5d7637 introduced the use of
bx in the kernel, which means we need to compile with -march=armv4t on
armv4t systems now.

ea817398e6 [PATCH] Manage jbd allocations from its own slabs
JBD currently allocates commit and frozen buffers from slabs.  With
CONFIG_SLAB_DEBUG, its possible for an allocation to cross the page
boundary causing IO problems.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=200127

So, instead of allocating these from regular slabs - manage allocation from
its own slabs and disable slab debug for these slabs.

4c4d50f7b3 [PATCH] cpuset: top_cpuset tracks hotplug changes to cpu_online_map
Change the list of cpus allowed to tasks in the top (root) cpuset to
dynamically track what cpus are online, using a CPU hotplug notifier.  Make
this top cpus file read-only.

On systems that have cpusets configured in their kernel, but that aren't
actively using cpusets (for some distros, this covers the majority of
systems) all tasks end up in the top cpuset.

If that system does support CPU hotplug, then these tasks cannot make use
of CPUs that are added after system boot, because the CPUs are not allowed
in the top cpuset.  This is a surprising regression over earlier kernels
that didn't have cpusets enabled.

In order to keep the behaviour of cpusets consistent between systems
actively making use of them and systems not using them, this patch changes
the behaviour of the 'cpus' file in the top (root) cpuset, making it read
only, and making it automatically track the value of cpu_online_map.  Thus
tasks in the top cpuset will have automatic use of hot plugged CPUs allowed
by their cpuset.

Thanks to Anton Blanchard and Nathan Lynch for reporting this problem,
driving the fix, and earlier versions of this patch.

8469219596 [PATCH] md: avoid backward event updates in md superblock when degraded.
If we
  - shut down a clean array,
  - restart with one (or more) drive(s) missing
  - make some changes
  - pause, so that they array gets marked 'clean',
the event count on the superblock of included drives
will be the same as that of the removed drives.
So adding the removed drive back in will cause it
to be included with no resync.

To avoid this, we only update the eventcount backwards when the array
is not degraded.  In this case there can (should) be no non-connected
drives that we can get confused with, and this is the particular case
where updating-backwards is valuable.

the relayfs->relay changes.  It also moves relayfs.txt to relay.txt in the
process.

It includes the changes to relayfs.txt previously posted by Randy Dunlap,
thanks for those.

The relay-apps examples have also been updated to match, and can be found
on the sourceforge relayfs website.
