Make pci_claim_resource() use request_resource() rather than insert_resource()
This function has traditionally used "insert_resource()", because before
commit cebd78a8c5 ("Fix pci_claim_resource") it used to just insert the
resource into whatever root resource tree that was indicated by
"pcibios_select_root()".
So there Matthew fixed it to actually look up the proper parent
resource, which means that now it's actively wrong to then traverse the
resource tree any more: we already know exactly where the new resource
should go.
And when we then did commit a76117dfd6 ("x86: Use pci_claim_resource"),
which changed the x86 PCI code from the open-coded
that "insert_resource()" now suddenly became a problem, and causes a
regression covered by
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13891
which this fixes.

do_sigaltstack: small cleanups
The previous commit ("do_sigaltstack: avoid copying 'stack_t' as a
structure to user space") fixed a real bug. This one just cleans up the
copy from user space to that gcc can generate better code for it (and so
that it looks the same as the later copy back to user space).

do_sigaltstack: avoid copying 'stack_t' as a structure to user space
Ulrich Drepper correctly points out that there is generally padding in
the structure on 64-bit hosts, and that copying the structure from
kernel to user space can leak information from the kernel stack in those
padding bytes.
Avoid the whole issue by just copying the three members one by one
instead, which also means that the function also can avoid the need for
a stack frame. This also happens to match how we copy the new structure
from user space, so it all even makes sense.
[ The obvious solution of adding a memset() generates horrid code, gcc
does really stupid things. ]

GFS2: remove dcache entries for remote deleted inodes
When a file is deleted from a gfs2 filesystem on one node, a dcache
entry for it may still exist on other nodes in the cluster. If this
happens, gfs2 will be unable to free this file on disk. Because of this,
it's possible to have a gfs2 filesystem with no files on it and no free
space. With this patch, when a node receives a callback notifying it
that the file is being deleted on another node, it schedules a new
workqueue thread to remove the file's dcache entry.

GFS2 wasn't syncing its statfs info on grows. This causes a problem
when you grow the filesystem on multiple nodes. GFS2 would calculate
the new space based on the resource groups (which are always current),
and then assume that the filesystem had grown the from the existing
statfs size. If you grew the filesystem on two different nodes in a
short time, the second node wouldn't see the statfs size change from the
first node, and would assume that it was grown by a larger amount than
it was. When all these changes were synced out, the total fileystem
size would be incorrect (the first grow would be counted twice).
This patch syncs makes GFS2 read in the statfs changes from disk before
a grow, and write them out after the grow, while the master statfs inode
is locked.

lib: flexible array implementation
Once a structure goes over PAGE_SIZE*2, we see occasional allocation
failures. Some people have chosen to switch over to things like vmalloc()
that will let them keep array-like access to such a large structures.
But, vmalloc() has plenty of downsides.
Here's an alternative. I think it's what Andrew was suggesting here:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/7/2/518
I call it a flexible array. It does all of its work in PAGE_SIZE bits, so
never does an order>0 allocation. The base level has
PAGE_SIZE-2*sizeof(int) bytes of storage for pointers to the second level.
So, with a 32-bit arch, you get about 4MB (4183112 bytes) of total
storage when the objects pack nicely into a page. It is half that on
64-bit because the pointers are twice the size. There's a table detailing
this in the code.
There are kerneldocs for the functions, but here's an
overview:
flex_array_alloc() - dynamically allocate a base structure
flex_array_free() - free the array and all of the
second-level pages
flex_array_free_parts() - free the second-level pages, but
not the base (for static bases)
flex_array_put() - copy into the array at the given index
flex_array_get() - copy out of the array at the given index
flex_array_prealloc() - preallocate the second-level pages
between the given indexes to
guarantee no allocs will occur at
put() time.
We could also potentially just pass the "element_size" into each of the
API functions instead of storing it internally. That would get us one
more base pointer on 32-bit.
I've been testing this by running it in userspace. The header and patch
that I've been using are here, as well as the little script I'm using to
generate the size table which goes in the kerneldocs.

sdhci: get rid of "frequency too high" flood when using eSDHC
Since commit 8dfd0374be84793360db7fff2e635d2cd3bbcb21 ("MMC core: limit
minimum initialization frequency to 400kHz") MMC core checks for minimum
frequency, and that causes following messages flood when using eSDHC
controllers:
...
mmc0: Minimum clock frequency too high for identification mode
mmc0: Minimum clock frequency too high for identification mode
...
The warnings are legitimate, since if we'd use 133 MHz clocks for standard
SDHCI controllers, we'd not able to scale frequency down to 400 kHz.
But eSDHC controllers have a non-standard SD clock management, so we can
divide clock by 256 * 16, not just 256.
This patch introduces get_min_clock() callback for sdhci core and
implements it for sdhci-of driver, and thus fixes the issue.

commit d6580a9f15238b87e618310c862231ae3f352d2d ("kexec: sysrq: simplify
sysrq-c handler") changed the behavior of sysrq-c to unconditional
dereference of NULL pointer. So in cases with CONFIG_KEXEC, where
crash_kexec() was directly called from sysrq-c before, now it can be said
that a step of "real oops" was inserted before starting kdump.
However, in contrast to oops via SysRq-c from keyboard which results in
panic due to in_interrupt(), oops via "echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger" will
not become panic unless panic_on_oops=1. It means that even if dump is
properly configured to be taken on panic, the sysrq-c from proc interface
might not start crashdump while the sysrq-c from keyboard can start
crashdump. This confuses traditional users of kdump, i.e. people who
expect sysrq-c to do common behavior in both of the keyboard and proc
interface.
This patch brings the keyboard and proc interface behavior of sysrq-c in
line, by forcing panic_on_oops=1 before oops in sysrq-c handler.
And some updates in documentation are included, to clarify that there is
no longer dependency with CONFIG_KEXEC, and that now the system can just
crash by sysrq-c if no dump mechanism is configured.

net-dccp: suppress warning about large allocations from DCCP
The DCCP protocol tries to allocate some large hash tables during
initialisation using the largest size possible. This can be larger than
what the page allocator can provide so it prints a warning. However, the
caller is able to handle the situation so this patch suppresses the
warning.

profile: suppress warning about large allocations when profile=1 is specified
When profile= is used, a large buffer is allocated early at boot. This
can be larger than what the page allocator can provide so it prints a
warning. However, the caller is able to handle the situation so this
patch suppresses the warning.

page-allocator: allow too high-order warning messages to be suppressed with __GFP_NOWARN
The page allocator warns once when an order >= MAX_ORDER is specified.
This is to catch callers of the allocator that are always falling back to
their worst-case when it was not expected. However, there are cases where
the caller is behaving correctly but cannot suppress the warning. This
patch allows the warning to be suppressed by the callers by specifying
__GFP_NOWARN.

After commit ec64f51545fffbc4cb968f0cea56341a4b07e85a ("cgroup: fix
frequent -EBUSY at rmdir"), cgroup's rmdir (especially against memcg)
doesn't return -EBUSY by temporary ref counts. That commit expects all
refs after pre_destroy() is temporary but...it wasn't. Then, rmdir can
wait permanently. This patch tries to fix that and change followings.
- set CGRP_WAIT_ON_RMDIR flag before pre_destroy().
- clear CGRP_WAIT_ON_RMDIR flag when the subsys finds racy case.
if there are sleeping ones, wakes them up.
- rmdir() sleeps only when CGRP_WAIT_ON_RMDIR flag is set.
eeprom/at25: bugfix "not ready" timeout after write
Under certain circumstances msleep(1) within the loop, which waits for the
EEPROM to be finished, might take longer than the timeout. On the next
loop the status register might now return to be ready and therefore the
loop finishes. The following check now tests if a timeout occurred and if
so returns an error although the device reported it was ready.
This fix replaces testing the occurrence of the timeout by testing the
"not ready" bit in the status register.

We cache a pid array for all threads that are opening the same "tasks"
file, but the pids in the array are always from the namespace of the
last process that opened the file, so all other threads will read pids
from that namespace instead of their own namespaces.
To fix it, we maintain a list of pid arrays, which is keyed by pid_ns.
The list will be of length 1 at most time.

lib: export generic atomic64_t functions
The generic atomic64_t implementation in lib/ did not export the functions
it defined, which means that modules that use atomic64_t would not link on
platforms (such as 32-bit powerpc). For example, trying to build a kernel
with CONFIG_NET_RDS on such a platform would fail with:
Fix this by exporting the atomic64_t functions to modules. (I export the
entire API even if it's not all currently used by in-tree modules to avoid
having to continue fixing this in dribs and drabs)

This is because hugetlb_unreserve_pages() is unconditionally removing
blocks_per_huge_page(h) on each call rather than using the freed amount.
If there were 0 blocks, it goes negative, resulting in the above.
so just put back the freed multiplier, and it's all happy again.
