[PATCH] FUTEX_WAKE_OP: enhanced error handling
The code for FUTEX_WAKE_OP calls an arch callback,
futex_atomic_op_inuser(). That callback can return an error code, but
currently the caller assumes any error is EFAULT, and will try various
things to resolve the fault before eventually giving up with EFAULT
(regardless of the original error code). This is not a theoretical case -
arch callbacks currently return -ENOSYS if the opcode they are given is
bogus.
This patch alters the code to detect non-EFAULT errors and return them
directly to the user.
Of course, whether -ENOSYS is the correct return value for the bogus opcode
case, or whether EINVAL would be more appropriate is another question.

[PATCH] aio: remove aio_max_nr accounting race
AIO was adding a new context's max requests to the global total before
testing if that resulting total was over the global limit. This let
innocent tasks get their new limit tested along with a racing guilty task
that was crossing the limit. This serializes the _nr accounting with a
spinlock It also switches to using unsigned long for the global totals.
Individual contexts are still limited to an unsigned int's worth of
requests by the syscall interface.
The problem and fix were verified with a simple program that spun creating
and destroying a context while holding on to another long lived context.
Before the patch a task creating a tiny context could get a spurious EAGAIN
if it raced with a task creating a very large context that overran the

So I fixed the thing by rewriting the __asm__ constraints more like unistd.h
ones.
Note: in syscall6 case I had to add one more instruction (i.e. moving arg6 in
eax and shuffling things around) - it's needed for the function to be valid in
general (we can't load the value from the stack, relative to ebp, because we
change it), but could be avoided since we actually use a constant as param 6.
The only fix would be to turn stub_syscall6 to a macro and use a "i"

[PATCH] i386: LVT entries remaining unmasked on reboot
Excerpt from bugzilla entry
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5518
"i386 version of Reboot-through-BIOS is unsafe: it forgets to mask APIC LVT
interrupts before jumping to a BIOS entry point. As a result, BIOS ends up
bombarded with interrupts early on boot. The BIOS does not expect it since
following a "normal" hardware cpu reset, all APIC LVT registers have the
Mask bit (16) set and can't generate interrupts.
For example, the version of Phoenix BIOS used by VMware enables interrupts
for the first time before masking/clearing APIC LVT. The APIC Timer LVT
register is still set up for a timer interrupt delivery with a high vector
from the previous Linux incarnation (0xef in our case). The BIOS has not
fully initialized its IDT at this point and the real mode gate for 0xef
remains all zeros. Vector 0xef dispatches BIOS to address 0:0, BIOS takes
a #GP and eventually hangs.

[PATCH] sh: Drop hp690 discontig support
There was only one board using this (hp690 specifically), and it just so
happens that it's only physically discontiguous at the "normal" P1 offset. If
we bump up the P1 offset, it's possible to hit a shadowed region of memory
where we suddenly become magically contiguous.
As people have been using this shadowed region workaround for quite some time
(and without any adverse effects), it's time to drop the left over discontig
bits that no longer have any practical use (it was always very much
hp690-centric to begin with).

[PATCH] superhyway: multiple block support and VCR rework
This extends the API somewhat to allow for platform-specific VCR reading and
writing. Some platforms (like SH4-202) implement the VCR in a split VCRL and
VCRH, but end up being in reverse order or have other quirks that need to be
dealt with, so we add a set of superhyway_ops per-bus to accomodate this.
We also have to extend the per-device resources somewhat, as some devices now
conveniently split control and data blocks. So we allow a platform to
register its set of SuperHyway devices via superhyway_add_devices() with the
control block always ordered as the first resource (as this is the one that
userspace cares about).

[PATCH] slab: don't BUG on duplicated cache
slab presently goes BUG if someone tries to register an already-registered
cache.
But this can happen if the user accidentally loads a module which is already
statically linked into the kernel. Nuking the kernel is rather a harsh
reaction.
Change it into a warning, and just fail the kmem_cache_alloc() attempt. If
the module is well-behaved, the modprobe will fail and all is well.
Notes:
- Swaps the ranking of cache_chain_sem and lock_cpu_hotplug(). Doesn't seem
important.
The zImage wrapper has a bug where it doesn't claim() the memory for the
kernel properly, it forgets to take into account the offset between the ELF
header and the kernel itself. This results on some machines, like G5s,
into a kernel that crashes at boot when clearing the BSS.
