commit 2e1c49db4c640b35df13889b86b9d62215ade4b6

x86_64: allocate sparsemem memmap above 4G
This reverts commit 2e1c49db4c640b35df13889b86b9d62215ade4b6.
First off, testing in Fedora has shown it to cause boot failures,
bisected down by Martin Ebourne, and reported by Dave Jobes. So the
commit will likely be reverted in the 2.6.23 stable kernels.
Secondly, in the 2.6.24 model, x86-64 has now grown support for
SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP, which disables the relevant code anyway, so while the
bug is not visible any more, it's become invisible due to the code just
being irrelevant and no longer enabled on the only architecture that
this ever affected.

patch edaf420fdc122e7a42326fe39274c8b8c9b19d41 in mainline.
I ran into this problem on a system that was unable to obtain NTP sync
because the clock was running very slow (over 10000ppm slow). ntpd had
declared all of its peers 'reject' with 'peer_dist' reason.
On investigation, the tsc_khz variable was significantly incorrect
causing xtime to run slow. After a reboot tsc_khz was correct so I
did a reboot test to see how often the problem occurred:
Test was done on a 2000 Mhz Xeon system. Of 689 reboots, 8 of them
had unacceptable tsc_khz values (>500ppm):

2030000 - 2045000 1 0.145% << BAD
2045000 < 0 0.000%
The worst boot was 2032.577 Mhz, over 1.5% off!
It appears that on rare occasions, mach_countup() is taking longer to
complete than necessary.
I suspect that this is caused by the CPU taking a periodic SMI
interrupt right at the end of the 30ms calibration loop. This would
cause the loop to delay while the SMI BIOS hander runs. The resulting
TSC value is beyond what it actually should be resulting in a higher
tsc_khz.
The below patch makes native_calculate_cpu_khz() take the best
(shortest duration, lowest khz) run of it's 3 calibration loops. If a
SMI goes off causing a bad result (long duration, higher khz) it will
be discarded.
With the patch applied, 300 boots of the same system produce good
results:

patch e6e1ace9904b72478f0c5a5aa7bd174cb6f62561 in mainline.
We use signed values for limit checking since the values can go
negative under certain circumstances. However, sizeof() is unsigned
and forces the comparison to be unsigned, so move the comparison into
the heap_free() macros so we can ensure it is a signed comparison.

patch 9a24d04a3c26c223f22493492c5c9085b8773d4a upstream
While we were reviewing pageattr_32/64.c for unification,
Thomas Gleixner noticed the following serious SMP bug in
global_flush_tlb():
down_read(&init_mm.mmap_sem);
list_replace_init(&deferred_pages, &l);
up_read(&init_mm.mmap_sem);
this is SMP-unsafe because list_replace_init() done on two CPUs in
parallel can corrupt the list.
This bug has been introduced about a year ago in the 64-bit tree:
commit ea7322decb974a4a3e804f96a0201e893ff88ce3
Author: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>
Date: Thu Dec 7 02:14:05 2006 +0100
[PATCH] x86-64: Speed and clean up cache flushing in change_page_attr
down_read(&init_mm.mmap_sem);
- dpage = xchg(&deferred_pages, NULL);
+ list_replace_init(&deferred_pages, &l);
up_read(&init_mm.mmap_sem);
the xchg() based version was SMP-safe, but list_replace_init() is not.
So this "cleanup" introduced a nasty bug.
why this bug never become prominent is a mystery - it can probably be
explained with the (still) relative obscurity of the x86_64 architecture.
the safe fix for now is to write-lock init_mm.mmap_sem.

patch ace2e92e193126711cb3a83a3752b2c5b8396950 in mainline.
XFS leaves stray mappings around when it vmaps memory to make it
virtually contigious. This upsets Xen if one of those pages is being
recycled into a pagetable, since it finds an extra writable mapping of
the page.
This patch solves the problem in a brute force way, by making XFS
always eagerly unmap its mappings.
[ Stable: This works around a bug in 2.6.23. We may come up with a
better solution for mainline, but this seems like a low-impact fix for
the stable kernel. ]

patch 9f79991d4186089e228274196413572cc000143b in mainline.
When a pagetable is no longer in use, it must be unpinned so that its
pages can be freed. However, this is only possible if there are no
stray uses of the pagetable. The code currently deals with all the
usual cases, but there's a rare case where a vcpu is changing cr3, but
is doing so lazily, and the change hasn't actually happened by the time
the pagetable is unpinned, even though it appears to have been completed.
This change adds a second per-cpu cr3 variable - xen_current_cr3 -
which tracks the actual state of the vcpu cr3. It is only updated once
the actual hypercall to set cr3 has been completed. Other processors
wishing to unpin a pagetable can check other vcpu's xen_current_cr3
values to see if any cross-cpu IPIs are needed to clean things up.

commit a24864a1d52a97e345a6bd4862a057f98364d098
uml: definitively kill subprocesses on panic
In a stock 2.6.22.6 kernel, poweroff a user mode linux guest (2.6.22.6 running
in skas0 mode) will halt the host linux. I think the reason is the kernel
thread abort because of a bug. Then the sys_reboot in process of user mode
linux guest is not trapped by the user mode linux kernel and is executed by
host. I think it is better to make sure all of our children process to quit
when user mode linux kernel abort.
[ jdike - the kernel process needs to ignore SIGTERM, plus the waitpid/kill
loop is needed to make sure that all of our children are dead before the
kernel exits ]

Stop including asm/user.h from libc - it seems to be disappearing from

user_fpxregs_struct instead of user_i387_struct and struct user_fxsr_struct on
i386.
As a bonus, on x86_64, I get to dump some stupid typedefs which were needed in
order to get asm/user.h to compile.

patch a76ab5c10d99bdf458067cb495e72c0ee5f09909 in mainline.
When GDB writes a breakpoint into address area of inferior process the
kernel needs to invalidate the modified memory in the inferior which
is done by calling flush_cache_page which in turns calls
r4k_flush_cache_page and local_r4k_flush_cache_page for VSMP or SMTC
kernel via r4k_on_each_cpu().
As the VSMP and SMTC SMP kernels for 34K are running on a single shared
caches it is possible to get away without interprocessor function calls.
This optimization is implemented in r4k_on_each_cpu, so
local_r4k_flush_cache_page is only ever called on the local CPU.
This is where the following code in local_r4k_flush_cache_page() strikes:
/*
* If ownes no valid ASID yet, cannot possibly have gotten
* this page into the cache.
*/
if (cpu_context(smp_processor_id(), mm) == 0)
return;
On VSMP and SMTC had a function of cpu_context() for each CPU(TC).
So in case another CPU than the CPU executing local_r4k_cache_flush_page
has not accessed the mm but one of the other CPUs has there may be data
to be flushed in the cache yet local_r4k_cache_flush_page will falsely
return leaving the I-cache inconsistent for the breakpoint.
While the issue was discovered with GDB it also exists in
local_r4k_flush_cache_range() and local_r4k_flush_cache().
Fixed by introducing a new function has_valid_asid which on MT kernels
returns true if a mm is active on any processor in the system.
This is relativly expensive since for memory acccesses in that loop
cache misses have to be assumed but it seems the most viable solution
for 2.6.23 and older -stable kernels.

patch 6eca9004dfcb274a502438a591df5b197690afb1 in mainline.
For the locking to work, only the tag map and tag bit map may be shared
(incidentally, I was just explaining this to Nick yesterday, but I
apparently didn't review the code well enough myself). But we also share
the busy list! The busy_list must be queue private, or we need a
block_queue_tag covering lock as well.
So we have to move the busy_list to the queue. This'll work fine, and
it'll actually also fix a problem with blk_queue_invalidate_tags() which
will invalidate tags across all shared queues. This is a bit confusing,
the low level driver should call it for each queue seperately since
otherwise you cannot kill tags on just a single queue for eg a hard
drive that stops responding. Since the function has no callers
currently, it's not an issue.
This is fixed with commit 6eca9004dfcb274a502438a591df5b197690afb1 in

patch 487e9bf25cbae11b131d6a14bdbb3a6a77380837 in mainline.
It's possible to provoke unionfs (not yet in mainline, though in mm and
some distros) to hit shmem_writepage's BUG_ON(page_mapped(page)). I expect
it's possible to provoke the 2.6.23 ecryptfs in the same way (but the
2.6.24 ecryptfs no longer calls lower level's ->writepage).
This came to light with the recent find that AOP_WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATE could
leak from tmpfs via write_cache_pages and unionfs to userspace. There's
already a fix (e423003028183df54f039dfda8b58c49e78c89d7 - writeback: don't
propagate AOP_WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATE) in the tree for that, and it's okay so
far as it goes; but insufficient because it doesn't address the underlying
issue, that shmem_writepage expects to be called only by vmscan (relying on
backing_dev_info capabilities to prevent the normal writeback path from
ever approaching it).
That's an increasingly fragile assumption, and ramdisk_writepage (the other
source of AOP_WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATEs) is already careful to check
wbc->for_reclaim before returning it. Make the same check in
shmem_writepage, thereby sidestepping the page_mapped BUG also.

[FUTEX]: Fix address computation in compat code.
[ Upstream commit: 3c5fd9c77d609b51c0bab682c9d40cbb496ec6f1 ]
compat_exit_robust_list() computes a pointer to the
futex entry in userspace as follows:
(void __user *)entry + futex_offset
'entry' is a 'struct robust_list __user *', and
'futex_offset' is a 'compat_long_t' (typically a 's32').
Things explode if the 32-bit sign bit is set in futex_offset.
Type promotion sign extends futex_offset to a 64-bit value before
adding it to 'entry'.
This triggered a problem on sparc64 running 32-bit applications which
would lock up a cpu looping forever in the fault handling for the
userspace load in handle_futex_death().
Compat userspace runs with address masking (wherein the cpu zeros out
the top 32-bits of every effective address given to a memory operation
instruction) so the sparc64 fault handler accounts for this by
zero'ing out the top 32-bits of the fault address too.
Since the kernel properly uses the compat_uptr interfaces, kernel side
accesses to compat userspace work too since they will only use
addresses with the top 32-bit clear.
Because of this compat futex layer bug we get into the following loop
when executing the get_user() load near the top of handle_futex_death():
1) load from address '0xfffffffff7f16bd8', FAULT
2) fault handler clears upper 32-bits, processes fault
for address '0xf7f16bd8' which succeeds
3) goto #1
I want to thank Bernd Zeimetz, Josip Rodin, and Fabio Massimo Di Nitto
for their tireless efforts helping me track down this bug.

patch 05aa345034de6ae9c77fb93f6a796013641d57d5 in mainline.
SLUB: Fix memory leak by not reusing cpu_slab
Fix the memory leak that may occur when we attempt to reuse a cpu_slab
that was allocated while we reenabled interrupts in order to be able to
grow a slab cache. The per cpu freelist may contain objects and in that
situation we may overwrite the per cpu freelist pointer loosing objects.
This only occurs if we find that the concurrently allocated slab fits
our allocation needs.
If we simply always deactivate the slab then the freelist will be properly
reintegrated and the memory leak will go away.

patch 22800a2830ec07e7cc5c837999890ac47cc7f5de in mainline.
Commit faf8c714f4508207a9c81cc94dafc76ed6680b44 caused a regression:
parameter names longer than MAX_KBUILD_MODNAME will now be rejected,
although we just need to keep the module name part that short. This patch
restores the old behaviour while still avoiding that memchr is called with
its length parameter larger than the total string length.

The kernel has for random historical reasons allowed ptrace() accesses
to access (and insert) pages into the page cache above the size of the
file.
However, Nick broke that by mistake when doing the new fault handling in
commit 54cb8821de07f2ffcd28c380ce9b93d5784b40d7 ("mm: merge populate and
nopage into fault (fixes nonlinear)". The breakage caused a hang with
gdb when trying to access the invalid page.
The ptrace "feature" really isn't worth resurrecting, since it really is
wrong both from a portability _and_ from an internal page cache validity
standpoint. So this removes those old broken remnants, and fixes the
ptrace() hang in the process.
Noticed and bisected by Duane Griffin, who also supplied a test-case
(quoth Nick: "Well that's probably the best bug report I've ever had,
thanks Duane!").

patch 97855b49b6bac0bd25f16b017883634d13591d00 in mainline.
It's currently possible to send posix_locks_deadlock() into an infinite
loop (under the BKL).
For now, fix this just by bailing out after a few iterations. We may
want to fix this in a way that better clarifies the semantics of
deadlock detection. But that will take more time, and this minimal fix
is probably adequate for any realistic scenario, and is simple enough to
be appropriate for applying to stable kernels now.
Thanks to George Davis for reporting the problem.

patch 3aa416b07f0adf01c090baab26fb70c35ec17623 in mainline.
It is possible for the current->curr_chain_key to become inconsistent with the
current index if the chain fails to validate. The end result is that future
lock_acquire() operations may inadvertently fail to find a hit in the cache
resulting in a new node being added to the graph for every acquire.

* ditto: the upper layer sets max-phys-segments to LIBATA_MAX_PRD,
so we must reset it to own hw-specific length.

The recent mv_fill_sg() rewrite, to fix a data corruption problem
related to IOMMU virtual merging, forgot to account for the
potentially-increased size of the scatter/gather table after its run.
Additionally, the DMA boundary is reduced from 0xffffffff to 0xffff
to more closely match the needs of mv_fill_sg().

This patch fixes a wrong ifdef in the board setup code, leading to the GPIO
pin not being pulled high, and thus the USB switch not being powered at all.
This finishes the rename of CONFIG_USB_OHCI to CONFIG_USB_OHCI_HCD, which
started in 2005 (before 2.6.12-rc2), then probably because things were
working anyway for most people got forgotten.
[Ralf: Paolo's original patch didn't fix the module case, Florian's patch
only fixed MTX1 etc. so this is a combined patch plus some cleanups.]

When building a custom keymap, after setting GENERATE_KEYMAP := 1 in
drivers/char/Makefile, the kernel build fails like this:
CC drivers/char/vt.o
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `drivers/char/%.map', needed by `drivers/char/defkeymap.c'. Stop.
make[1]: *** [drivers/char] Error 2
make: *** [drivers] Error 2
This was caused by commit af8b128719f5248e542036ea994610a29d0642a6, which
deleted a necessary colon from the Makefile rule that generates the keymap,
since that rule contains both a target and a target-pattern. The following
patch puts the colon back:
