This reverts commit 94985134 and insteads removes the WARN_ON() that caused that commit in the first place. The problem is that we call disable_nonboot_cpus() in swsusp before powering down the system in order to avoid triggering the WARN_ON() in arch/x86_64/kernel/acpi/sleep.c:init_low_mapping() and this doesn't work well on Thomas' system. So instead, remove the WARN_ON() in arch/x86_64/kernel/acpi/sleep.c: init_low_mapping(), which triggers every time during the suspend to disk in the platform mode, as the potential problem it is related to doesn't seem to occur in practice. [ I think we might want to disallow the case of multiple users of that mm, or something. Normally, playing with the current process page tables on the current CPU should be fine as long as we don't have other threads using those tables at the same time.. Anyway, not pretty, but better than the warning or the lockup - Linus ] Signed-off-by:

I2O subsystem has been broken in mainstream several months ago (after 2.6.18). Commit 4aff5e23 from Jens Axboe split struct request ->flags into two parts: cmd_type and cmd_flags. In i2o layer this patch has replaced flag REQ_SPECIAL by the according cmd_type. However i2o has used REQ_SPECIAL not as command type but as driver-specific flag for the debug purposes. As result all i2o requests have type "special" now, are not processed to the hardware and fail with I/O error: i2o/hda:<3>Buffer I/O error on device i2o/hda, logical block 0 Buffer I/O error on device i2o/hda, logical block 0 Buffer I/O error on device i2o/hda, logical block 0 unable to read partition table block-osm: device added (TID: 207): i2o/hda The following patch removes the extra debug checks without any drawbacks and restores the normal driver's work.

I've been seeing some odd NTP behavior recently on a few boxes and finally narrowed it down to time_offset overflowing when converted to SHIFT_UPDATE units (which was a side effect from my HZfreeNTP patch).

This patch uses MAX_REG_NR consistently to refer to the register file size. FRAME_SIZE isn't sufficient because on x86_64, it is smaller than the ptrace register file size. MAX_REG_NR was introduced as a consistent way to get the number of registers, but wasn't used everywhere it should be. When this causes a problem, it makes PTRACE_SETREGS fail on x86_64 because of a corrupted segment register value in the known-good register file. The patch also adds a register dump at that point in case there are any future problems here. Signed-off-by:

On Bob's machine clocksource is selecting PIT over the ACPI PM timer, because he has the PIIX4 bug. That bug drops the ACPI PM timers rating to the same as the PIT, so that's why you're getting the PIT. Realistically, the PIT is much slower then even the triple read ACPI PM, so the de-ranking code is probably dropping it too far. So don't drop ACPI PM quite so low if we see the PIIX4 bug.

Commit d720bc4b partially removed a private implementation of baud speed decoding. However it doesn't seem to be complete: after the speed is decoded, it is still being used as an index to a local speed table (array overrun, no doubt).

failed VM entry on VMX might still change %fs or %gs, thus make sure that KVM always reloads the segment selectors. This is crutial on both x86 and x86_64: x86 has __KERNEL_PDA in %fs on which things like 'current' depends and x86_64 has 0 there and needs MSR_GS_BASE to work. Signed-off-by: -

Intel virtualization extensions do not support virtualizing real mode. So kvm uses virtualized vm86 mode to run real mode code. Unfortunately, this virtualized vm86 mode does not support the so called "big real" mode, where the segment selector and base do not agree with each other according to the real mode rules (base == selector << 4). To work around this, kvm checks whether a selector/base pair violates the virtualized vm86 rules, and if so, forces it into conformance. On a transition back to protected mode, if we see that the guest did not touch a forced segment, we restore it back to the original protected mode value. This pile of hacks breaks down if the gdt has changed in real mode, as it can cause a segment selector to point to a system descriptor instead of a normal data segment. In fact, this happens with the Windows bootloader and the qemu acpi bios, where a protected mode memcpy routine issues an innocent 'pop %es' and traps on an attempt to load a system descriptor. "Fix" by checking if the to-be-restored selector points at a system segment, and if so, coercing it into a normal data segment. The long term solution, of course, is to abandon vm86 mode and use emulation for big real mode. Signed-off-by:Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>

In fact, the number of clipping windows is limited to 16, and calculate_clipping_registers_rect() does not use more than 256 bytes. SAA7146_CLIPPING_MEM adjusted accordingly.

Fix several instances of dvb-core functions using mutex_lock_interruptible and returning -ERESTARTSYS where the calling function will either never retry or never check the return value. These cause a race condition with dvb_dmxdev_filter_free and dvb_dvr_release, both of which are filesystem release functions whose return value is ignored and will never be retried. When this happens it becomes impossible to open dvr0 again (-EBUSY) since it has not been released properly. Signed-off-by:
