Impact: fix build errors Since the SPARSE IRQS changes redefined how the kstat irqs are organized, arch's must use the new accessor function: kstat_incr_irqs_this_cpu(irq, DESC); If CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQS is set, then DESC is a pointer to the irq_desc which has a pointer to the kstat_irqs. If not, then the .irqs field of struct kernel_stat is used instead. Signed-off-by: Mike Travis <travis@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Existing code treats first 0-4KB of memory as non-RAM and 4KB-8KB as RAM. Recent code changes don't allow to map memory with different attributes at the same time. Fix this by treating the first 1MB legacy region as special and always track the attribute requests with in this region using linear linked list (and don't bother if the range is RAM or non-RAM or mixed) Reported-and-tested-by: Thierry Vignaud <tvignaud@mandriva.com> Signed-off-by: Suresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Venkatesh Pallipadi <venkatesh.pallipadi@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Since we (Analog Devices) updated our Blackfin kernel to 2.6.28, we've seen occasional 5-second hangs from telnet. telnetd calls select with a NULL timeout, but with the new kernel, the system call occasionally returns 0, which causes telnet to call sleep (5). This did not happen with earlier kernels. The code in sys_pselect7 looks a bit strange, in particular the variable "to" is initialized to NULL, then changed if a non-null timeout was passed in, but not used further. It needs to be passed to core_sys_select instead of &end_time. This bug was introduced by 8ff3e8e8 ("select: switch select() and poll() over to hrtimers").

Commit b430428a ("8250: Don't clobber spinlocks.") introduced a regression on the parisc architecture, which broke the handover to the serial port at boottime. early_serial_setup() was changed to only copy a subset of the uart_port fields, and sadly the "type" and "line" fields were forgotten and thus the serial port was not initialized and could not be used for a handover. This patch fixes this by copying the missing fields. As this change to early_serial_setup() doesn't need an initialized spinlock in the uart_port struct any longer, we can drop the spinlock initialization in the superio driver.

But, there can also be other holes in identity map when we have 1GB of aligned reserved space in e820. This patch handles it by removing the WARN_ON and returning a specific error value (EFAULT) to indicate that the address does not have any identity mapping. The code that tries to keep identity map in sync can ignore this error, with other callers of cpa still getting error here.

Impact: avoid warning message, potentially solve 3D performance regression Change x86 PAT code to return compatible memtype if the exact memtype that was requested in remap_pfn_rage and friends is not available due to some conflict. This is done by returning the compatible type in pgprot parameter of track_pfn_vma_new(), and the caller uses that memtype for page table. Note that track_pfn_vma_copy() which is basically called during fork gets the prot from existing page table and should not have any conflict. Hence we use strict memtype check there and do not allow compatible memtypes. This patch fixes the bug reported here: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=123108883716357&w=2 Specifically the error message: X:5010 map pfn expected mapping type write-back for d0000000-d0101000, got write-combining Should go away.

Impact: reduce kernel image size Hugh Dickins noticed that older gcc versions when the kernel is built for code size didn't inline some of the bitops. Mark all complex x86 bitops that have more than a single asm statement or two as always inline to avoid this problem. Probably should be done for other architectures too. Ingo then found a better fix that only requires a single line change, but it unfortunately only works on gcc 4.3. On older gccs the original patch still makes a ~0.3% defconfig difference with CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING=y. With gcc 4.1 and a defconfig like build: 61169987 1138540 883788 8139326 7c323e vmlinux-oi-with-patch 6137043 1138540 883788 8159371 7c808b vmlinux-optimize-inlining ~20k / 0.3% difference.

Because the ipoib_workqueue is not flushed when ipoib interface is brought down, ipoib_mcast_join() may trigger a join to the broadcast group after priv->broadcast was set to NULL (during cleanup). This will cause the system to be a member of the broadcast group when interface is down. As a side effect, this breaks the optimization of setting the Q_key only when joining the broadcast group.
