[PATCH] uml: fix static binary segfault
When UML is built as a static binary, it segfaults when run. The reason is
that a memory hole that is present in dynamic binaries isn't there in static
binaries, and it contains essential stuff.
This fix removes the code which maps some anonymous memory into that hole and
cleans up some related code.

[PATCH] powerpc: fix trigger handling in the new irq code
This patch slightly reworks the new irq code to fix a small design error. I
removed the passing of the trigger to the map() calls entirely, it was not a
good idea to have one call do two different things. It also fixes a couple of
corner cases.
Mapping a linux virtual irq to a physical irq now does only that. Setting the
trigger is a different action which has a different call.
The main changes are:
- I no longer call host->ops->map() for an already mapped irq, I just return
the virtual number that was already mapped. It was called before to give an
opportunity to change the trigger, but that was causing issues as that could
happen while the interrupt was in use by a device, and because of the
trigger change, map would potentially muck around with things in a racy way.
That was causing much burden on a given's controller implementation of
map() to get it right. This is much simpler now. map() is only called on
the initial mapping of an irq, meaning that you know that this irq is _not_
being used. You can initialize the hardware if you want (though you don't
have to).
- Controllers that can handle different type of triggers (level/edge/etc...)
now implement the standard irq_chip->set_type() call as defined by the
generic code. That means that you can use the standard set_irq_type() to
configure an irq line manually if you wish or (though I don't like that
interface), pass explicit trigger flags to request_irq() as defined by the
generic kernel interfaces. Also, using those interfaces guarantees that
your controller set_type callback is called with the descriptor lock held,
thus providing locking against activity on the same interrupt (including
mask/unmask/etc...) automatically. A result is that, for example, MPIC's
own map() implementation calls irq_set_type(NONE) to configure the hardware
to the default triggers.
- To allow the above, the irq_map array entry for the new mapped interrupt
is now set before map() callback is called for the controller.
- The irq_create_of_mapping() (also used by irq_of_parse_and_map()) function
for mapping interrupts from the device-tree now also call the separate
set_irq_type(), and only does so if there is a change in the trigger type.
- While I was at it, I changed pci_read_irq_line() (which is the helper I
would expect most archs to use in their pcibios_fixup() to get the PCI
interrupt routing from the device tree) to also handle a fallback when the
DT mapping fails consisting of reading the PCI_INTERRUPT_PIN to know wether
the device has an interrupt at all, and the the PCI_INTERRUPT_LINE to get an
interrupt number from the device. That number is then mapped using the
default controller, and the trigger is set to level low. That default
behaviour works for several platforms that don't have a proper interrupt
tree like Pegasos. If it doesn't work for your platform, then either
provide a proper interrupt tree from the firmware so that fallback isn't
needed, or don't call pci_read_irq_line()
- Add back a bit that got dropped by my main rework patch for properly
clearing pending IPIs on pSeries when using a kexec

When a device is unplugged, requests are moved from one or two (depending on

So whenever requests are put on either of those queues, we should make sure
the raid5 array is 'plugged'. However we don't. We currently plug the raid5
queue just before putting requests on queues, so there is room for a race. If
something unplugs the queue at just the wrong time, requests will be left on
the queue and nothing will want to unplug them. Normally something else will

[PATCH] partitions: let partitions inherit policy from disk
Change the partition code in fs/partitions/check.c to initialize a newly
detected partition's policy field with that of the containing block device
(see patch below).
My reasoning is that function set_disk_ro() in block/genhd.c modifies the
policy field (read-only indicator) of a disk and all contained partitions.
When a partition is detected after the call to set_disk_ro(), the policy
field of this partition will currently not inherit the disk's policy field.
This behavior poses a problem in cases where a block device can be
'logically de- and reactivated' like e.g. the s390 DASD driver because
partition detection may run after the policy field has been modified.

When write() extends a file(i_size is increased) and fsync() is called,
change of inode must be written to journaling area through fsync().
But,currently the i_trans_id is not correctly updated when i_size is
increased. So fsync() does not kick the journal writer.
Reiserfs_file_write() already updates the transaction when blocks are
allocated, but the case when i_size increases and new blocks are not added
is not correctly treated.
Following patch fix this bug.

[PATCH] SELinux: add rootcontext= option to label root inode when mounting
Introduce a new rootcontext= option to FS mounting. This option will allow
you to explicitly label the root inode of an FS being mounted before that
FS or inode because visible to userspace. This was found to be useful for
things like stateless linux, see

[PATCH] SELinux: decouple fscontext/context mount options
Remove the conflict between fscontext and context mount options. If
context= is specified without fscontext it will operate just as before, if
both are specified we will use mount point labeling and all inodes will get
the label specified by context=. The superblock will be labeled with the
label of fscontext=, thus affecting operations which check the superblock
security context, such as associate permissions.

[PATCH] sched: fix bug in __migrate_task()
Problem:
In the function __migrate_task(), deactivate_task() followed by
activate_task() is used to move the task from one run queue to
another. This has two undesirable effects:
1. The task's priority is recalculated. (Nowhere else in the
scheduler code is the priority recalculated for a change of CPU.)
2. The task's time stamp is set to the current time. At the very least,
this makes the adjustment of the time stamp before the call to
deactivate_task() redundant but I believe the problem is more serious
as the time stamp now holds the time of the queue change instead of
the time at which the task was woken. In addition, unless dest_rq is
the same queue as "current" is on the time stamp could be inaccurate
due to inter CPU drift.
Solution:
Replace the call to activate_task() with one to __activate_task().

[PATCH] don't select CONFIG_HOTPLUG
It's useful to be able to turn off CONFIG_HOTPLUG for compile-coverage testing
and for section-checking coverage. But a few things go and select
CONFIG_HOTPLUG, making it a royal PITA to turn the thing off.
It's only turnable offable if CONFIG_EMBEDDED anyway. So let's make those
things depend on HOTPLUG, not select it.
[PATCH] i386: use thread_info flags for debug regs and IO bitmaps
Use thread info flags to track use of debug registers and IO bitmaps.
- add TIF_DEBUG to track when debug registers are active
- add TIF_IO_BITMAP to track when I/O bitmap is used
- modify __switch_to() to use the new TIF flags
Performance tested on Pentium II, ten runs of LMbench context switch
benchmark (smaller is better:)

i386: improve and correct inline asm memory constraints
Use "+m" rather than a combination of "=m" and "m" for improved clarity
and consistency.
This also fixes some inlines that incorrectly didn't tell the compiler
that they read the old value at all, potentially causing the compiler to
generate bogus code. It appear that all of those potential bugs were
hidden by the use of extra "volatile" specifiers on the data structures
in question, though.
