8afe07ce00 [PATCH] uml: avoid unnecessary pcap rebuild
Just a Kbuild subtlety, not listing a target file inside targets causes it
to be rebuilt each time, and as a consequence everything depending on it is
rebuilt.

b85e9680a3 [PATCH] uml: fix TT mode by reverting "use fork instead of clone"
With Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso <blaisorblade@yahoo.it>

Revert the following patch, because of miscompilation problems in different
environments leading to UML not working *at all* in TT mode; it was merged
lately in 2.6 development cycle, a little after being written, and has
caused problems to lots of people; I know it's a bit too long, but it
shouldn't have been merged in first place, so I still apply for inclusion
in the -stable tree.  Anyone using this feature currently is either using
some older kernel (some reports even used 2.6.12-rc4-mm2) or using this
patch, as included in my -bs patchset.

For now there's not yet a fix for this patch, so for now the best thing is
to drop it (which was widely reported to give a working kernel, and as such
was even merged in -stable tree).

"Convert the boot-time host ptrace testing from clone to fork.  They were
essentially doing fork anyway.  This cleans up the code a bit, and makes
valgrind a bit happier about grinding it."

2ca3310e78 [PATCH] device-mapper: fix md->lock deadlocks in core
This patch is an attempt to fix deadlocks discovered in the core dm.

The problems boil down to md->lock having to be held in too many places, so
I've split it into two: md->suspend_lock and md->io_lock.

suspend_lock is now held throughout dm_suspended() as well as dm_resume()
and dm_swap_table() so that these functions cannot run concurrently:
there's no requirement for that and it added complexity.

DMF_FS_LOCKED becomes redundant: DMF_SUSPENDED provides adequate
protection.

8c56ac3f3b [PATCH] x86_64: fix cpu_to_node setup for sparse apic_ids
While booting with SMT disabled in bios, when using acpi srat to setup
cpu_to_node[], sparse apic_ids create problems.

Without this patch, intel x86_64 boxes with hyperthreading disabled in the
bios (and which rely on srat for numa setup) endup having incorrect values in
cpu_to_node[] arrays, causing sched domains to be built incorrectly etc.

8d224d32c2 [PATCH] x86_64: Fix gcc 4 warning in sched_find_first_bit
This patch eliminates the GCC4 warning on the x86_64 platform:

kernel/sched.c:1824: warning: control may reach end of non-void function
'sched_find_first_bit' being inlined.

The change follows the lead of others, i.e.  it is guaranteed that at least
one of b[0], b[1], or b[2] will have a bit set and evaluate to true.  That
being said, GCC4.0.0 notices that the code flow does not return anything if
b[0], b[1] and b[2] are not true.  Since we know better, if it's not b[0] or
b[1], it has to be b[2].

2a16a3007d [PATCH] x86_64: cpu hotplug changes kills nmi watchdog
When the x86_64 cpu hotplug changes went in it added a check in
default_do_nmi() which kills NMI delivery on any CPU but the BSP.

The NMI watchdog is brought up quite some time before the online bit is set
in num_online_cpus so this won't work very well.  The nmi watchdogs on cpus
that are not BSP will never be reprogrammed and no NMIs.

Why was this check added? How does an offlined cpu receive an NMI?

2ac6608c41 Revert broken "statement with no effect" warning fix
It may shut up gcc, but it also incorrectly changes the semantics of the

You can fix the warning other ways if you are interested (create another
inline function that takes no arguments and returns zero), but
preferably gcc just shouldn't complain about unused return values from
statement expressions in the first place.

79a8810221 [PATCH] alpha: fix "statement with no effect" warnings
Apparently gcc 4.0 complains about "({ 0; });", which leads to -Werror
breakage in one of the alpha oprofile modules.

One might could argue that this is a gcc bug, in that statement-expressions
should be considered to be function-like rather than statement-like for the
purposes of this warning.  But it's just as easy to use an inline function
in the first place, side-stepping the issue.

f5c1d5b2aa [PATCH] SELinux: default labeling of MLS field
Implement kernel labeling of the MLS (multilevel security) field of
security contexts for files which have no existing MLS field.  This is to
enable upgrades of a system from non-MLS to MLS without performing a full
filesystem relabel including all of the mountpoints, which would be quite
painful for users.

With this patch, with MLS enabled, if a file has no MLS field, the kernel
internally adds an MLS field to the in-core inode (but not to the on-disk
file).  This MLS field added is the default for the superblock, allowing
per-mountpoint control over the values via fixed policy or mount options.

This patch has been tested by enabling MLS without relabeling its
filesystem, and seems to be working correctly.

ac12259f29 [PATCH] Fix incorrect Asus k7m irq router detection
This patch:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=bk-commits-head&m=111955644929114&w=2
uncovered a k7m bios bug, where the VT82C686A router is reported as
being "586-compatible". The two chips have different pirq mapping, so
this leads to "irq routing conflict" on many pci devices.

The suggested fix was discussed with Aleksey Gorelov, who helped me
to identify the problem as a probable bios bug.

ad2b93123d [PATCH] cciss per disk queue
This patch adds per disk queue functionality to cciss.  Sometime back I
submitted a patch but it looks like only part of what I needed.  In the 2.6
kernel if we have more than one logical volume the driver will Oops during
rmmod.  It seems all of the queues actually point back to the same queue.
So after deleting the first volume you hit a null pointer on the second
one.

This has been tested in our labs.  There is no difference in performance,
it just fixes the Oops.
