From: Andi Kleen <ak@muc.de> Fix a bug introduced with the last merge that prevented booting with CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO on on x86-64. It would corrupt registers in interrupts. This has hit a few people, so I would consider it as a critical fix.

We're using a 4-order allocation in there and it can fail. Change it to just keep reclaiming memory until something gives.

From: Patrick Mansfield <patmans@us.ibm.com> On NUMAQ, any module which calls __alloc_pages() needs cpu_2_node() (via cpu_to_node()). This patch exports cpu_2_node.

From: James Morris <jmorris@redhat.com> It seems to me that this dentry assignment in open_namei is not needed per the patch below. On this path, dentry is not referenced.

From: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de> 2.6 imposes a 64 frame limit where 2.4 does not (just relies on kmalloc() failing and limiting frames from that). That breaks at least on guys app. With MSF adressing, it's much simpler to be able to ask for a full second at the time, so I think we should just allow that. So bump the limit from 64 to CD_FRAMES (which is 75).

From: Jake Moilanen <moilanen@austin.ibm.com> On a ppc64 logically partitioned system, there can be a setup where function 0 of a PCI-PCI bridge is assigned to one partition and (for example) function 2 is assigned to a second partition. On the second partition, it would appear that function 0 does not exist, but function 2 does. If all the functions are not scanned, everything under function 2 would not be detected. This patch allows devices that don't respond to function 0, but do respond to other functions to be marked with a quirk and have all of their functions scanned.

From: Jack Steiner <steiner@sgi.com> The cpu_vm_mask use to be close to the mmu_context_t field in the mm struct. Recently some large members were added between "cpu_vm_mask" and "context". I suspect that was an oversight. Here is a patch that puts the fields close together. This makes it likely that both fields are in the same cache line. Since both fields are likely to be updated at the same time, this may improve performance.

From: Matt Mackall <mpm@selenic.com> I've been fiddling with cleaning up some old code here and suggest the following to make Lindent match actual practice more closely. This does: a) (no -psl) void *foo(void) { instead of void * foo(void) { b) (no -bs) "sizeof(foo)" rather than "sizeof (foo)" c) (-ncs) "(void *)foo" rather than "(void *) foo"

From: Nikita Danilov <Nikita@Namesys.COM> shrink_list() checks PageSwapCache() before calling add_to_swap(), this means that anonymous page that is going to be added to the swap right now these checks return false and: (*) it will be unaccounted for in nr_mapped, and (*) it won't be written to the swap if gfp_flags include __GFP_IO but not __GFP_FS. (Both will happen only on the next round of scanning.) Patch below just moves may_enter_fs initialization down. I am not sure about (*nr_mapped) increase though.

From: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> When the user gave an address hint in mmap use it as starting point for the search for !MAP_FIXED. Currently it is only checked directly and when already used the free area cache is used as starting point. With this change you can use mmap(4096, ....) to e.g. get the lowest free address in your address space, which is sometimes useful. For example on x86-64 glibc wants to preferably allocate thread local data in the first 4GB but use higher addresses when this is not possible. This can be a bit more costly in CPU time because it may have to skip over more VMAs, but gives better semantics for most cases. Most programs pass NULL as hint anyways so it won't make any difference for them. I did it for the generic mmap and for x86-64 for now. Also minor white space fixes for x86-64.

From: Jes Sorensen <jes@trained-monkey.org> nr_free_pages() is expensive, especially on large SMP machines. The patch changes the memory overcommit code so that it only calls nr_free_pages() is we're about to fail the allocation attempt.

From: Maneesh Soni <maneesh@in.ibm.com> The patch fixes locking in proc_check_root(). It brings is_subdir() call under vfsmount_lock. Holding vfsmount_lock will ensure mnt_mountpoint dentry is intact and the dentry does not go away while it is being checked in is_subdir().

From: Maneesh Soni <maneesh@in.ibm.com> o The following patch fixes is_subdir() races with d_move. Due to concurrent d_move, in is_subdir() we can end up accessing freed d_parent pointer in case of pre-emptible kernel. To avoid this we can use rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock(). o This also fixes the seqlock uses in is_subdir() as we need to restart the the inner loop with the origianl new_dentry passed to the routine in case of any rename occured while we are traversing d_parent links.

From: Pratik Solanki <pratik.solanki@timesys.com> I came across this C standards issue while cross-compiling the Linux kernel with gcc on Solaris. The file gen_crc32table.c uses the non-standard type u_int32_t. It's possible that the host machine's sys/types.h does not define u_int32_t. The attached patch replaces u_int32_t with the POSIX standard uint32_t and includes POSIX inttypes.h instead of sys/types.h.

From: Bjorn Helgaas <bjorn.helgaas@hp.com> Anders Gustafsson <andersg@0x63.nu> Roman Zippel <zippel@linux-m68k.org> This patch fixes menuconfig so it can display help text for individual choice group config entries. Previously it would only display the help text attached to the "choice" item. There was no way to display the help attached to individual config entries inside the choice group. Typically, the "choice" item has no help text, and all the useful help is attached to the individual entries, so this was a bit of a problem.

From: George Anzinger <george@mvista.com>, Petri Kaukasoina <kaukasoi@elektroni.ee.tut.fi> btime in /proc/stat does not stay constant but decreases at a rate of 15 secs/day, because we're assuming that HZ is exactly 100. Use the correct adjustments to fix that up.

From: George Anzinger <george@mvista.com> The time conversion code is erroring on the side of a bit too small. The attached patch forces any error to be on the high side. The current code will convert 1 nanosecond to zero jiffies (standard says that should be 1). It also is around 1 nanosecond late on each roll to the next jiffie. I have done some error checks with this patch applied and get the following errors in PPB ( Parts Per Billion): HZ nano sec conversion microsecond conversion 1000 315 45 1024 227 40 100 28 317 In all cases the error is on the high side, which means that the final shift will, most likely, eliminate the error bits.

From: Mike Waychison <Michael.Waychison@Sun.COM> The attached patch ensures that we grab vfsmount_lock when grabbing a reference to mnt_parent in follow_up and follow_dotdot. We also don't need to access ->mnt_parent in follow_mount and __follow_down to mntput because we already the parent pointer on the stack.

From: Philippe Elie <phil.el@wanadoo.fr> Unless I miss something this look like a typo, one user reported to get error from the daemon: 'Unknown event for counter 1' (alpha ev6) and the behavior was better but not completly sane after trying this patch: he get spurious event for counter 1 when enabling only counter 0 but rarely now. No alpha box to test this.

From: Philippe Elie <phil.el@wanadoo.fr> In a ring buffer controlled by a read and write positions we can't use buffer_size but only buffer_size - 1 entry, the last free entry act as a guard to avoid write pos overrun. This bug was hidden because the writer, oprofile_add_sample(), request one more entry than really needed.
