[PATCH] eligible_child: remove an obsolete ->tgid check
It is not possible to find a sub-thread in ->children/->ptrace_children
lists, ptrace_attach() does not allow to attach to sub-threads.
Even if it was possible to ptrace the task from the same thread group,
we can't allow to release ->group_leader while there are others (ptracer)
threads in the same group.
Resolve ARM1136 VIPT non-aliasing cache coherency issues observed when
using ptrace to set breakpoints and cleanup copy_{to,from}_user_page()
while we're here as requested by Russell King because "it's also far
too heavy on non-v6 CPUs".
NOTES:
1. Only access_process_vm() calls copy_{to,from}_user_page().
2. access_process_vm() calls get_user_pages() to pin down the "page".
3. get_user_pages() calls flush_dcache_page(page) which ensures cache
coherency between kernel and userspace mappings of "page". However
flush_dcache_page(page) may not invalidate I-Cache over this range
for all cases, specifically, I-Cache is not invalidated for the VIPT
non-aliasing case. So memory is consistent between kernel and user
space mappings of "page" but I-Cache may still be hot over this
range. IOW, we don't have to worry about flush_cache_page() before
memcpy().
4. Now, for the copy_to_user_page() case, after memcpy(), we must flush
the caches so memory is consistent with kernel cache entries and
invalidate the I-Cache if this mm region is executable. We don't
need to do anything after memcpy() for the copy_from_user_page()
case since kernel cache entries will be invalidated via the same
process above if we access "page" again. The flush_ptrace_access()
function (borrowed from SPARC64 implementation) is added to handle
cache flushing after memcpy() for the copy_to_user_page() case.

Since vma->vm_pgoff is in units of smallpages, VMAs for huge pages have the
lower HPAGE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT bits always cleared, which results in badd
offsets to the interleave functions. Take this difference from small pages
into account when calculating the offset. This does add a 0-bit shift into
the small-page path (via alloc_page_vma()), but I think that is negligible.
Also add a BUG_ON to prevent the offset from growing due to a negative
right-shift, which probably shouldn't be allowed anyways.

expected.

Cleanup allocation and freeing of tsk->delays used by delay accounting.
This solves two problems reported for delay accounting:
1. oops in __delayacct_blkio_ticks
http://www.uwsg.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0608.2/1844.html
Currently tsk->delays is getting freed too early in task exit which can
cause a NULL tsk->delays to get accessed via reading of /proc/<tgid>/stats.
The patch fixes this problem by freeing tsk->delays closer to when
task_struct itself is freed up. As a result, it also eliminates the use of
tsk->delays_lock which was only being used (inadequately) to safeguard
access to tsk->delays while a task was exiting.
2. Possible memory leak in kernel/delayacct.c
http://www.uwsg.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0608.2/1389.html
The patch cleans up tsk->delays allocations after a bad fork which was
missing earlier.
The patch has been tested to fix the problems listed above and stress
tested with rapid calls to delay accounting's taskstats command interface
(which is the other path that can access the same data, besides the /proc
interface causing the oops above).

[PATCH] ZVC: Scale thresholds depending on the size of the system
The ZVC counter update threshold is currently set to a fixed value of 32.
This patch sets up the threshold depending on the number of processors and
the sizes of the zones in the system.
With the current threshold of 32, I was able to observe slight contention
when more than 130-140 processors concurrently updated the counters. The
contention vanished when I either increased the threshold to 64 or used
Andrew's idea of overstepping the interval (see ZVC overstep patch).
However, we saw contention again at 220-230 processors. So we need higher
values for larger systems.
But the current default is already a bit of an overkill for smaller
systems. Some systems have tiny zones where precision matters. For
example i386 and x86_64 have 16M DMA zones and either 900M ZONE_NORMAL or
ZONE_DMA32. These are even present on SMP and NUMA systems.
The patch here sets up a threshold based on the number of processors in the
system and the size of the zone that these counters are used for. The
threshold should grow logarithmically, so we use fls() as an easy
approximation.
Results of tests on a system with 1024 processors (4TB RAM)
The following output is from a test allocating 1GB of memory concurrently
on each processor (Forking the process. So contention on mmap_sem and the
pte locks is not a factor):
Increments and decrements are usually grouped rather than mixed. We can
optimize the inc and dec functions for that case.
Increment and decrement the counters by 50% more than the threshold in
those cases and set the differential accordingly. This decreases the need
to update the atomic counters.
The idea came originally from Andrew Morton. The overstepping alone was
sufficient to address the contention issue found when updating the global
and the per zone counters from 160 processors.
Also remove some code in dec_zone_page_state.

The gfs2_quota_lvb structure has now had endianess annotations added

a structure in host endianess too. As a result the endianess
conversions are done as required at various points and thus the

after effects of removing the clean ordered buffers from the transactions
before a journal flush.
The releasepage bug did also show up under "normal" buffered i/o
as well, so its not just a fix for direct i/o. In fact its not

[PATCH] Missing PCI id update for VIA IDE
The following change from -mm is important to 2.6.18 (actually to 2.6.17
but its too late for that). This was contributed over three months ago
by VIA to Bartlomiej and nothing happened. As a result the new chipset
is now out and Linux won't run on it. By the time 2.6.18 is finalised
this will be the defacto standard VIA chipset so support would be a good
plan.
Tested in -mm for a while, its essentially a PCI ident update but for
the bridge chip because VIA do things in weird ways.

[PATCH] x86_64: Don't write out segments from vsyscall32 DSO if it is not mapped
It's possible to get an invalid page fault in kernel mode when we try to
write out segments from vsyscall32 when dumping core for a 32bit process if
the vsyscall32 DSO is not mapped in its address space (which can happen if,
for example, ulimit -v 100 is run).

[PATCH] x86_64: Save original IST values for checking stack addresses
The values in init_tss.ist[] can change when an IST event occurs. Save
the original IST values for checking stack addresses when debugging or
doing stack traces.

[PATCH] x86: Disable MMCONFIG on Intel SDV using DMI blacklist
As a replacement for the earlier removal of the e820 MCFG check
we blacklist the Intel SDV with the original BIOS bug that
motivated that check. On those machines don't use MMCONFIG.
This also adds a new pci=mmconf parameter to override the blacklist.

[PATCH] x86_64: Recover 1MB of kernel memory
Noticed by Jan Beulich.
When the kernel was moved from 1MB to 2MB in 2.6.17 the kernel reservation
code wasn't adjusted and it still reserved starting with 1MB. This means 1MB always
were lost.
This patch fixes this by reserving only starting with _text.

[PATCH] x86: Make backtracer fallback logic more bullet-proof
The unwinder fallback logic still had potential for falling through to
the legacy stack trace code without printing an indication (at once
serving as a separator) of this.
Further, the stack pointer retrieval for the fallback should be as
restrictive as possible (in order to avoid having the legacy stack
tracer try to access invalid memory). The patch tightens that, but
this could certainly be further improved.
Also making the call_trace command line option now conditional upon
CONFIG_STACK_UNWIND (as it's meaningless otherwise).

[PATCH] x86: fix x86 cpuid keys used in alternative_smp()
By hard-coding the cpuid keys for alternative_smp() rather than using
the symbolic constant it turned out that incorrect values were used on
both i386 (0x68 instead of 0x69) and x86-64 (0x66 instead of 0x68).
One open question: Should this added push perhaps be made conditional
upon CONFIG_STACK_UNWIND or CONFIG_UNWIND_INFO?
[AK: not needed, these are all very slow paths]

[PATCH] x86: Revert e820 MCFG heuristics
The check for the MCFG table being reserved in the e820 map was originally
added to detect a broken BIOS in a preproduction Intel SDV. However it also
breaks the Apple x86 Macs, which can't supply this properly, but need
a working MCFG. With this patch they wouldn't use the MCFG and not work.
After some discussion I think it's best to remove the heuristic again.
It also failed on some other boxes (although it didn't cause much
problems there because old style port access for PCI config space
still works as fallback), but the preproduction SDVs can just use
pci=nommcfg. Supporting production machines properly is more
important.
Edgar Hucek did all the debugging work.

This adds the superblock as a key for glock lookups. Since the glocks
are already stored in a per-superblock table, this has no effect at
the moment. Later on this will change though.

We can take advantage of the slab allocator to ensure that all the list
heads and the spinlock (plus one or two other fields) are initialised
by slab to speed up allocation of glocks.

[ARM] 3750/3: Fix double VFP emulation for EABI kernels
Patch from Daniel Jacobowitz
vfp_put_double didn't work in a CONFIG_AEABI kernel. By swapping
the arguments, we arrange for them to be in the same place regardless
of ABI. I made the same change to vfp_put_float for consistency.
