      ARM: improve module relocation fixup diagnostics · 68e6fad4
      Russell King authored 
      Current diagnostics are rather poor when things go wrong:
  ipv6: relocation out of range, section 2 reloc 0 sym 'snmp_mib_free'

Let's include a little more information about the problem:
  ipv6: section 2 reloc 0 sym 'snmp_mib_free': relocation 28 out of range (0xbf0000a4 -> 0xc11b4858)

so that we show exactly what the problem is - not only what type of
relocation but also the offending address range too.

      ARM: add 'uinstall' target for installing uboot kernels · a65d2922
      Russell King authored 
      We have 'install' and 'zinstall' for installing Image and zImage
kernels, so add 'uinstall' to complete the set.

This allows developers to have a ~/bin/installkernel script which (eg)
copies the kernel to the tftp server automatically once the kernel
has built, resulting in a better workflow.

      ARM: DMA: top-down allocation in DMA coherent region · 459c1517
      Russell King authored 
      Achieve better usage of the DMA coherent region by doing top-down
allocation rather than bottom up.  If we ask for a 128kB allocation,
this will be aligned to 128kB and satisfied from the very bottom
address.  If we then ask for a 600kB allocation, this will be aligned
to 1MB, and we will have a 896kB hole.

Performing top-down allocation resolves this by allocating the 128kB
at the very top, and then the 600kB can come in below it without any
unnecessary wastage.

This problem was reported by Janusz Krzysztofik, who had 2 x 128kB +
1 x 640kB allocations which wouldn't fit into 1MB.

      NFS: NFSv4 readdir loses entries · d1205f87
      Chuck Lever authored 
      On recent 2.6.38-rc kernels, connectathon basic test 6 fails on
NFSv4 mounts of OpenSolaris with something like:

> ./test6: readdir
> 	./test6: (/mnt/klimt/matisse.test) didn't read expected 'file.12' dir entry, pass 0
> 	./test6: (/mnt/klimt/matisse.test) didn't read expected 'file.82' dir entry, pass 0
> 	./test6: (/mnt/klimt/matisse.test) didn't read expected 'file.164' dir entry, pass 0
> 	./test6: (/mnt/klimt/matisse.test) Test failed with 3 errors
> basic tests failed
> Tests failed, leaving /mnt/klimt mounted
> [cel@matisse cthon04]$

I narrowed the problem down to nfs4_decode_dirent() reporting that the
decode buffer had overflowed while decoding the entries for those
missing files.

verify_attr_len() assumes both it's pointer arguments reside on the
same page.  When these arguments point to locations on two different
pages, verify_attr_len() can report false errors.  This can happen now
that a large NFSv4 readdir result can span pages.

We have reasonably good checking in nfs4_decode_dirent() anyway, so
it should be safe to simply remove the extra checking.

At a guess, this was introduced by commit 6650239a, "NFS: Don't use
vm_map_ram() in readdir".

      NFS: Micro-optimize nfs4_decode_dirent() · c08e76d0
      Chuck Lever authored 
      Make the decoding of NFSv4 directory entries slightly more efficient
by:

  1.  Avoiding unnecessary byte swapping when checking XDR booleans,
      and

  2.  Not bumping "p" when its value will be immediately replaced by
      xdr_inline_decode()

This commit makes nfs4_decode_dirent() consistent with similar logic
in the other two decode_dirent() functions.
