sched: Fix the irqtime code for 32bit
Since the irqtime accounting is using non-atomic u64 and can be read
from remote cpus (writes are strictly cpu local, reads are not) we
have to deal with observing partial updates.
When we do observe partial updates the clock movement (in particular,
->clock_task movement) will go funny (in either direction), a
subsequent clock update (observing the full update) will make it go
funny in the oposite direction.
Since we rely on these clocks to be strictly monotonic we cannot
suffer backwards motion. One possible solution would be to simply
ignore all backwards deltas, but that will lead to accounting
artefacts, most notable: clock_task + irq_time != clock, this
inaccuracy would end up in user visible stats.
Therefore serialize the reads using a seqcount.

lguest: populate initial_page_table
Two x86 patches broke lguest:
1) v2.6.35-492-g72d7c3b, which changed x86 to use the memblock allocator.
In lguest, the host places linear page tables at the top of mem, which
used to be enough to get us up to the swapper_pg_dir page tables. With
the first patch, the direct mapping tables used that memory:
Before: kernel direct mapping tables up to 4000000 @ 7000-1a000
After: kernel direct mapping tables up to 4000000 @ 3fed000-4000000
I initially fixed this by lying about the amount of memory we had, so
the kernel wouldn't blatt the lguest boot pagetables (yuk!), but then...
This was initialized in a part of head_32.S which isn't executed by
lguest; it is then copied into swapper_pg_dir. So we have to initialize
it; and anyway we switch to it before we blatt the old tables, so that
fixes the previous damage as well.
For the moment, I cut & pasted the code into lguest's boot code, but
next merge window I will merge them.

initial_page_table, that happens much earlier, so extend the heuristic

nilfs2: fix regression of garbage collection ioctl
On 2.6.37-rc1, garbage collection ioctl of nilfs was broken due to the
commit 263d90cefc7d82a0 ("nilfs2: remove own inode hash used for GC"),
and leading to filesystem corruption.
The patch doesn't queue gc-inodes for log writer if they are reused
through the vfs inode cache. Here, gc-inode is the inode which
buffers blocks to be relocated on GC. That patch queues gc-inodes in
nilfs_init_gcinode() function, but this function is not called when
they don't have I_NEW flag. Thus, some of live blocks are wrongly
overrode without being moved to new logs.
This resolves the problem by moving the gc-inode queueing to an outer
function to ensure it's done right.

Input: define separate EVIOCGKEYCODE_V2/EVIOCSKEYCODE_V2
The desire to keep old names for the EVIOCGKEYCODE/EVIOCSKEYCODE while
extending them to support large scancodes was a mistake. While we tried
to keep ABI intact (and we succeeded in doing that, programs compiled
on older kernels will work on newer ones) there is still a problem with
recompiling existing software with newer kernel headers.
New kernel headers will supply updated ioctl numbers and kernel will
expect that userspace will use struct input_keymap_entry to set and
retrieve keymap data. But since the names of ioctls are still the same
userspace will happily compile even if not adjusted to make use of the
new structure and will start miraculously fail in the field.
To avoid this issue let's revert EVIOCGKEYCODE/EVIOCSKEYCODE definitions
and add EVIOCGKEYCODE_V2/EVIOCSKEYCODE_V2 so that userspace can explicitly
select the style of ioctls it wants to employ.

ARM: 6533/1: Thumb-2: Make CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL depend on !CPU_V6
This makes sense, because Thumb-2 code can't execute on plain
ARMv6 processors.
This will avoid accidentally configuring a broken kernel where the
config otherwise would allow multiple architecture versions to
coexist in the same kernel.
Not adding !CPU_V5 etc., because the chance of anyone trying to
put v5 and v7 in the same kernel is low, and I'm not aware of
any mach which can do this. These could be added later if it
matters.
Note that the rules may need to be refined if support for the
ARM1156J(F)-S processor is later added to the kernel, since this
processor supports the rare ARMv6T2 extensions, which add support
for Thumb-2 and a few other ARMv7 features.

ext4: Turn off multiple page-io submission by default
Jon Nelson has found a test case which causes postgresql to fail with
the error:
psql:t.sql:4: ERROR: invalid page header in block 38269 of relation base/16384/16581
Under memory pressure, it looks like part of a file can end up getting
replaced by zero's. Until we can figure out the cause, we'll roll
back the change and use block_write_full_page() instead of
ext4_bio_write_page(). The new, more efficient writing function can
be used via the mount option mblk_io_submit, so we can test and fix
the new page I/O code.
To reproduce the problem, install postgres 8.4 or 9.0, and pin enough
memory such that the system just at the end of triggering writeback
before running the following sql script:
begin;
create temporary table foo as select x as a, ARRAY[x] as b FROM
generate_series(1, 10000000 ) AS x;
create index foo_a_idx on foo (a);
create index foo_b_idx on foo USING GIN (b);
rollback;
If the temporary table is created on a hard drive partition which is
encrypted using dm_crypt, then under memory pressure, approximately
30-40% of the time, pgsql will issue the above failure.
This patch should fix this problem, and the problem will come back if
the file system is mounted with the mblk_io_submit mount option.

The likely()s in this case were assuming that WORKER_NOT_RUNNING will

(and shown by adding trace_printks and testing it) that most of the time
WORKER_PREP is set.
In worker_thread() we have:
worker_clr_flags(worker, WORKER_PREP);
[ do work stuff ]
worker_set_flags(worker, WORKER_PREP, false);
(that 'false' means not to wake up an idle worker)
The wq_worker_sleeping() is called from schedule when a worker thread
is putting itself to sleep. Which happens most of the time outside
of that [ do work stuff ].
The wq_worker_waking_up is called by the wakeup worker code, which
is also callod outside that [ do work stuff ].
Thus, the likely and unlikely used by those two functions are actually
backwards.

Btrfs: prevent RAID level downgrades when space is low
The extent allocator has code that allows us to fill
allocations from any available block group, even if it doesn't
match the raid level we've requested.
This was put in because adding a new drive to a filesystem
made with the default mkfs options actually upgrades the metadata from
single spindle dup to full RAID1.
But, the code also allows us to allocate from a raid0 chunk when we
really want a raid1 or raid10 chunk. This can cause big trouble because
mkfs creates a small (4MB) raid0 chunk for data and metadata which then
goes unused for raid1/raid10 installs.
The allocator will happily wander in and allocate from that chunk when
things get tight, which is not correct.
The fix here is to make sure that we provide duplication when the
caller has asked for it. It does all the dups to be any raid level,
which preserves the dup->raid1 upgrade abilities.

Btrfs: account for missing devices in RAID allocation profiles
When we mount in RAID degraded mode without adding a new device to
replace the failed one, we can end up using the wrong RAID flags for
allocations.
This results in strange combinations of block groups (raid1 in a raid10
filesystem) and corruptions when we try to allocate blocks from single
spindle chunks on drives that are actually missing.
The first device has two small 4MB chunks in it that mkfs creates and
these are usually unused in a raid1 or raid10 setup. But, in -o degraded,
the allocator will fall back to these because the mask of desired raid groups
isn't correct.
The fix here is to count the missing devices as we build up the list
of devices in the system. This count is used when picking the
raid level to make sure we continue using the same levels that were
in place before we lost a drive.

hang/NMI's during kexec/kdump in the presence of interrupt-remapping enabled.
During kdump, there is a window where the devices might be still using old
kernel's interrupt information, while the kdump kernel is coming up. This can
cause vt-d faults as the interrupt configuration from the old kernel map to
null IRTE entries in the new kernel etc. (with out interrupt-remapping enabled,
we still have the same issue but in this case we will see benign spurious
interrupt hit the new kernel).
Based on platform config settings, these platforms seem to generate NMI/SMI
when a vt-d fault happens and there were reports that the resulting SMI causes
the system to hang.
Fix it by masking vt-d spec defined errors to platform error reporting logic.
VT-d spec related errors are already handled by the VT-d OS code, so need to
report the same error through other channels.
