Linus noticed that the "again:" versus "survive:" OOM logic for the init task was arbitrarily different. The 64-bit codepath is the better one, because it correctly re-lookups the vma after having dropped the ->mmap_sem.

x86/mm: do not trigger a kernel warning if user-space disables interrupts and generates a page fault Arjan reported a spike in the following bug pattern in v2.6.27: http://www.kerneloops.org/searchweek.php?search=lock_page which happens because hwclock started triggering warnings due to a (correct) might_sleep() check in the MM code. The warning occurs because hwclock uses this dubious sequence of code to run "atomic" code: static unsigned long atomic(const char *name, unsigned long (*op)(unsigned long), unsigned long arg) { unsigned long v; __asm__ volatile ("cli"); v = (*op)(arg); __asm__ volatile ("sti"); return v; } Then it pagefaults in that "atomic" section, triggering the warning. There is no way the kernel could provide "atomicity" in this path, a page fault is a cannot-continue machine event so the kernel has to wait for the page to be filled in. Even if it was just a minor fault we'd have to take locks and might have to spend quite a bit of time with interrupts disabled - not nice to irq latencies in general. So instead just enable interrupts in the pagefault path unconditionally if we come from user-space, and handle the fault. Also, while touching this code, unify some trivial parts of the x86 VM paths at the same time.

Commit ed458df4 ("PnP: move pnpacpi/pnpbios_init to after PCI init") moved the PnP RTC discovery later, and now the ACPI RTC glue code doesn't find it any more, breaking the RTC wakealarm sysfs interfaces, as reported by Rafael. This really is fairly messy, and we have several annoying ordering constraints here - the PnP code that sets up the RTC resources wants to run after the PCI resources have to be registered, which in turn needs to run after ACPI has at least enumerated the root PCI buses etc. Our initcall ordering is not fine-grained enough to make this all painless. So this moves the ACPI RTC glue ("acpi_rtc_init()") down to a regular module call, which fixes the problem Rafael has. The reason this isn't wonderful is that we really should do acpi_rtc_init before we do the rtc_cmos init, and now those two are in the same module_init() section. Which happens to work, but only because drivers/rtc is linked after drivers/acpi. In other words, we still have a very subtle ordering issue here. Grr. Reported-and-tested-by: Rafael J.
