   Uninitialize static variables initialized to 0

Patch from Julie DeWandel.

This patch has solved the crashes observed during TPC-C runs on the
16-way box.  (I'm confident it will fix the other reported cases as
well.)

The race is the setting of timer->base to NULL, by del_timer() or
__run_timers().  If new_base == old_base in __mod_timer() then we do not
re-check timer->base after getting the lock.  (the only case where we do
not have to re-check the base is in the !old_base case, but the else
branch also includes the old_base==new_base case.)

The __run_timers() case made the lock_timer() patch not work fully - we
cannot use lock_timer() in __run_timers() due to lock ordering.

This patch adds a SELINUX entry to the MAINTAINERS file.

From: Stephen Smalley <sds@epoch.ncsc.mil>

This patch reworks the SELinux module code that handles inodes initialized
before the policy is initially loaded to also cover the case where a pseudo
filesystem such as selinuxfs or nfsd directly populate themselves.

The list of inode security structures is split into per-superblock lists
associated with each superblock security structure, and the initialization
is performed by superblock_doinit.

opl3 use-after-free fix

This patch takes into account requests from various LKML members for the
mandocs output to be more terse.  Information about the copyright, and
formatting of the man page is moved into a comment at the start of the
groff output.

verify maximum number of bits before using set_bit

Touching a page via follow_page() counts as a reference so we should be
either setting the referenced bit in the pte or running mark_page_accessed().

Altering the pte is tricky because we haven't implemented an atomic
pte_mkyoung().  And mark_page_accessed() is better anyway because it has more
aging state: it can move the page onto the active list.

If POKETEXT modifies the page it needs to tell the VM about it.

While initializing the adm1021 device, the driver is performing a conversion
from fixed point to Celcius on values that were declaired as Celcius.  On my
Dell Precision 220 this results in a shutdown after a couple of minutes
running.

The latch simply removes the conversion.

16 proc x440 boxen aren't booting mainline kernels right now for many valid

The code appears to be able to add too many blocks back to
sbinfo->free_blocks in the failure path. We first do;

len = vma->vm_end - vma->vm_start;
sbinfo->free_blocks -= len;

but then later do;
len = (vma->vm_end - vma->vma_start) + (vma->vm_pgoff << HPAGE_SHIFT)

error:
sbinfo->free_blocks += len;

I didn't want to just delete the code because one day the size of func_table

the test becomes valid again.

If you need a long long format, then cast to long long, not u64.  u64 is
long on 64-bit architectures.

Attached patch kills a warning when compiling on a 64-bit architecture
(ssize_t is long, not int)

From: Manuel Estrada Sainz <ranty@debian.org>

- undo recent change, made in the believe that "buffer" was the size of
  the whole file, it is just PAGE_SIZE in size.  This was causing kernel
  memory corruption.

  - Since files are allowed to have unknown sizes, by setting their
    size to 0, we can't preallocate a buffer of their size on open.

- Adapt request_firmware() to the sysfs change.

- Adapt drivers/pci/pci-sysfs.c to the sysfs change.

loop-on-file oopses during unmount.  This is because lo_queue is now freed
during lo_ioctl(LOOP_CLR_FD).  I think the scenario is:

1: umount(8) opens /dev/loop0

2: umount(8) runs lo_ioctl(LOOP_CLR_FD) (this frees the queue)

3: umount(8) closes the /dev/loop0 handle.  The blockdev layer syncs the
   blockdev, but its mapping->backing_dev_info now points into la-la-land.

We shouldn't be freeing the queue until all refs to it have gone away.  This
patch gives the queue the same lifetime as the controlling loop_device
itself.  It also makes the loop driver's queue appear in sysfs again.

It would be better to free the queue when the device is not in use, but I'm
not sure how we can hook into the blockdev layer to do that.

On 64-bit architectures, ino_t is int, not long, so the attached patch
is needed to prevent a warning.

hugetlbfs was accessing super_block->s_fs_info after free'ing it.  This was
because it was being free'd prematurely.  I have deferred free until
->put_super().  I have also removed hugetlbfs_kill_super since it now is
simply a kill_litter_super.
