25f407f0b6 [PATCH] Call exit_itimers from do_exit, not __exit_signal
When I originally moved exit_itimers into __exit_signal, that was the only
place where we could reliably know it was the last thread in the group
dying, without races.  Since then we've gotten the signal_struct.live
counter, and do_exit can reliably do group-wide cleanup work.

This patch moves the call to do_exit, where it's made without locks.  This
avoids the deadlock issues that the old __exit_signal code's comment talks
about, and the one that Oleg found recently with process CPU timers.

[ This replaces e03d13e985, which is why
  it was just reverted. ]

0213df7431 [PATCH] cpufreq: fix pending powernow timer stuck condition
AMD recently discovered that on some hardware, there is a race condition
possible when a C-state change request goes onto the bus at the same
time as a P-state change request.

Both requests happen, but the southbridge hardware only acknowledges the
C-state change.  The PowerNow! driver is then stuck in a loop, waiting
for the P-state change acknowledgement.  The driver eventually times
out, but can no longer perform P-state changes.

It turns out the solution is to resend the P-state change, which the
southbridge will acknowledge normally.

Thanks to Johannes Winkelmann for reporting this and testing the fix.

3078fcc1d1 [PATCH] ppc64: Fix typo bug in iSeries hash code
This fixes a stupid typo bug in the iSeries hash table code.

When we place a hash PTE in the secondary bucket, instead of setting the
SECONDARY flag bit, as we should, we (redundantly) set the VALID flag.

This was introduced with the patch abolishing bitfields from the hash
table code.  Mea culpa, oops.  It hasn't been noticed until now because
in practice we don't hit the secondary bucket terribly often.

5d96551541 [PATCH] ppc64: Fix pages marked dirty abusively
While working on 64K pages, I found this little buglet in our
update_mmu_cache() implementation.

The code calls __hash_page() passing it an "access" parameter (the type
of access that triggers the hash) containing the bits _PAGE_RW and
_PAGE_USER of the linux PTE.  The latter is useless in this case and the
former is wrong.  In fact, if we have a writeable PTE and we pass
_PAGE_RW to hash_page(), it will set _PAGE_DIRTY (since we track dirty
that way, by hash faulting !dirty) which is not what we want.

In fact, the correct fix is to always pass 0. That means that only
read-only or already dirty read write PTEs will be preloaded. The
(hopefully rare) case of a non dirty read write PTE can't be preloaded
this way, it will have to fault in hash_page on the actual access.

05d84681ab [PATCH] powerpc: Fix mmap returning 64 bit addresses
The merge of syscalls.c & sys_ppc32.c (30286ef6e0)
broke mmap, if the mmap returned a 64 bit address.

do_mmap2 was taking the return value from do_mmap_pgoff (an unsigned long), and
storing it in an int, before returning it to sys_mmap as an unsigned long. So
we were losing the high bits of the address.

You would have thought the compiler could catch this for us ...

6cb7bfebb1 [PATCH] powerpc: Merge thread_info.h
Merge ppc32 and ppc64 versions of thread_info.h.  They were pretty
similar already, the chief changes are:

	- Instead of inline asm to implement current_thread_info(),
which needs to be different for ppc32 and ppc64, we use C with an
asm("r1") register variable.  gcc turns it into the same asm as we
used to have for both platforms.
	- We replace ppc32's 'local_flags' with the ppc64
'syscall_noerror' field.  The noerror flag was in fact the only thing
in the local_flags field anyway, so the ppc64 approach is simpler, and
means we only need a load-immediate/store instead of load/mask/store
when clearing the flag.
	- In readiness for 64k pages, when THREAD_SIZE will be less
than a page, ppc64 used kmalloc() rather than get_free_pages() to
allocate the kernel stack.  With this patch we do the same for ppc32,
since there's no strong reason not to.
	- For ppc64, we no longer export THREAD_SHIFT and THREAD_SIZE
via asm-offsets, thread_info.h can now be safely included in asm, as
on ppc32.

ffa29347df [DCCP]: Make dccp_write_xmit always free the packet
icmp_send doesn't use skb->sk at all so even if skb->sk has already
been freed it can't cause crash there (it would've crashed somewhere
else first, e.g., ip_queue_xmit).

I found a double-free on an skb that could explain this though.
dccp_sendmsg and dccp_write_xmit are a little confused as to what
should free the packet when something goes wrong.  Sometimes they
both go for the ball and end up in each other's way.

This patch makes dccp_write_xmit always free the packet no matter
what.  This makes sense since dccp_transmit_skb which in turn comes
from the fact that ip_queue_xmit always frees the packet.

281dd25cdc [PATCH] swiotlb: make sure initial DMA allocations really are in DMA memory
This introduces a limit parameter to the core bootmem allocator; The new
parameter indicates that physical memory allocated by the bootmem
allocator should be within the requested limit.

We also introduce alloc_bootmem_low_pages_limit, alloc_bootmem_node_limit,
alloc_bootmem_low_pages_node_limit apis, but alloc_bootmem_low_pages_limit
is the only api used for swiotlb.

The existing alloc_bootmem_low_pages() api could instead have been
changed and made to pass right limit to the core allocator.  But that
would make the patch more intrusive for 2.6.14, as other arches use
alloc_bootmem_low_pages().  We may be done that post 2.6.14 as a
cleanup.

With this, swiotlb gets memory within 4G for both x86_64 and ia64
arches.

This problem is starting to show up more and more as drivers turn to the
kthread API instead of using kernel_thread().  As a result, their kernel
threads are now children of the kthread worker instead of modprobe, and
they inherit the PF_NOFREEZE flag.  This can cause problems during system

83bcbf8dad [PATCH] ppc64: Fix error in vDSO 32 bits date
The implementation of __kernel_gettimeofday() in the 32 bits vDSO has a
small bug (a typo actually) that will cause it to lose 1 bit of precision.
Not terribly bad but worth fixing.

6985c43f39 [PATCH] Three one-liners in md.c
The main problem fixes is that in certain situations stopping md arrays may
take longer than you expect, or may require multiple attempts.  This would
only happen when resync/recovery is happening.

This patch fixes three vaguely related bugs.

1/ The recent change to use kthreads got the setting of the
   process name wrong.  This fixes it.
2/ The recent change to use kthreads lost the ability for
   md threads to be signalled with SIG_KILL.  This restores that.
3/ There is a long standing bug in that if:
    - An array needs recovery (onto a hot-spare) and
    - The recovery is being blocked because some other array being
       recovered shares a physical device and
    - The recovery thread is killed with SIG_KILL
   Then the recovery will appear to have completed with no IO being
   done, which can cause data corruption.
   This patch makes sure that incomplete recovery will be treated as
   incomplete.

Note that any kernel affected by bug 2 will not suffer the problem of bug
3, as the signal can never be delivered.  Thus the current 2.6.14-rc
kernels are not susceptible to data corruption.  Note also that if arrays
are shutdown (with "mdadm -S" or "raidstop") then the problem doesn't
occur.  It only happens if a SIGKILL is independently delivered as done by
'init' when shutting down.

4a9949d7ac [PATCH] raw1394: fix locking in the presence of SMP and interrupts
Changes all spinlocks that can be held during an irq handler to disable
interrupts while the lock is held.  Changes spin_[un]lock_irq to use the
irqsave/irqrestore variants for robustness and readability.

In raw1394.c:handle_iso_listen(), don't grab host_info_lock at all -- we're
not accessing host_info_list or host_count, and holding this lock while
trying to tasklet_kill the iso tasklet this can cause an ABBA deadlock if
ohci:dma_rcv_tasklet is running and tries to grab host_info_lock in
raw1394.c:receive_iso.  Test program attached reliably deadlocks all SMP
machines I have been able to test without this patch.
