intel-iommu: Change aligned_size() to aligned_nrpages()
intel-iommu: Clean up intel_map_sg(), remove domain_page_mapping()
...
These macros had two bugs:
- the type of the mask was not correctly expanded to the full size of
the argument being expanded, resulting in possible loss of high bits
when mixing types.
- the alignment argument was evaluated twice, despite the macro looking
like a fancy function (but it really does need to be a macro, since
it works on arbitrary integer types)
Noticed by Peter Anvin, and with a fix that is a modification of his
suggestion (bug noticed by Yinghai Lu).

Kill this, in favour of just looking to see if the incremented pte
pointer has 'wrapped' onto the next page. Which means we have to check
it _after_ incrementing it, not before.

block: Create bip slabs with embedded integrity vectors
This patch restores stacking ability to the block layer integrity
infrastructure by creating a set of dedicated bip slabs. Each bip slab
has an embedded bio_vec array at the end. This cuts down on memory
allocations and also simplifies the code compared to the original bvec
version. Only the largest bip slab is backed by a mempool. The pool is
contained in the bio_set so stacking drivers can ensure forward
progress.

md: use interruptible wait when duration is controlled by userspace.
User space can set various limits on an md array so that resync waits
when it gets to a certain point, or so that I/O is blocked for a short
while.
When md is waiting against one of these limit, it should use an
interruptible wait so as not to add to the load average, and so are
not to trigger a warning if the wait goes on for too long.
md allows write to regions on an array to be suspended temporarily.
This allows user-space to participate is aspects of reshape.
In particular, data can be copied with not risk of a race.
We should not be blocking read requests though, so don't.
After discovering that we don't listen to gratuitious arps in 2.6.30
I tracked the failure down to this commit.
The patch makes absolutely no sense. RFC2131 RFC3927 and RFC5227.
are all in agreement that an arp request with sip == 0 should be used
for the probe (to prevent learning) and an arp request with sip == tip
should be used for the gratitous announcement that people can learn
from.
It appears the author of the broken patch got those two cases confused
and modified the code to drop all gratuitous arp traffic. Ouch!

mm: prevent balance_dirty_pages() from doing too much work
balance_dirty_pages can overreact and move all of the dirty pages to
writeback unnecessarily.
balance_dirty_pages makes its decision to throttle based on the number of
dirty plus writeback pages that are over the calculated limit,so it will
continue to move pages even when there are plenty of pages in writeback
and less than the threshold still dirty.
This allows it to overshoot its limits and move all the dirty pages to
writeback while waiting for the drives to catch up and empty the writeback
list.
A simple fio test easily demonstrates this problem.
This is the simplest fix I could find, but I'm not entirely sure that it
alone will be enough for all cases. But it certainly is an improvement on
my desktop machine writing to 2 disks.

spi: bitbang bugfix in message setup
Bugfix to spi_bitbang infrastructure: make sure to always set transfer
parameters on the first pass through the message's per-transfer loop.
This can matter with drivers that replace the per-word or per-buffer
transfer primitives, on busses with multiple SPI devices.
Previously, this could have started messages using the settings left after
previous messages. The problem was observed when a high speed chip
(m25p80 type flash) was running very slowly because a low speed device
(avr8 microcontroller) had previously used the bus. Similar faults could
have driven the low speed device too fast, or used an unexpected word
size.

fbdev: add mutex for fb_mmap locking
Add a mutex to avoid a circular locking problem between the mm layer
semaphore and fbdev ioctl mutex through the fb_mmap() call.
Also, add mutex to all places where smem_start and smem_len fields change
so the mutex inside the fb_mmap() is actually used. Changing of these
fields before calling the framebuffer_register() are not mutexed.
This is 2.6.31 material. It removes one lockdep (fb_mmap() and
register_framebuffer()) but there is still another one (fb_release() and
register_framebuffer()). It also cleans up handling of the smem_start and
smem_len fields used by mutexed section of the fb_mmap().

spi: add spi_master flag word
Add a new spi_master.flags word listing constraints relevant to that
controller. Define the first constraint bit: a half duplex restriction.
Include that constraint in the OMAP1 MicroWire controller driver.
Have the mmc_spi host be the first customer of this flag. Its coding
relies heavily on full duplex transfers, so it must fail when the
underlying controller driver won't perform them.
(The spi_write_then_read routine could use it too: use the
temporarily-withdrawn full-duplex speedup unless this flag is set, in
which case the existing code applies. Similarly, any spi_master
implementing only SPI_3WIRE should set the flag.)

spi: new spi->mode bits
Add two new spi_device.mode bits to accomodate more protocol options, and
pass them through to usermode drivers:
* SPI_NO_CS ... a second 3-wire variant, where the chipselect
line is removed instead of a data line; transfers are still
full duplex.
This obviously has STRONG protocol implications since the
chipselect transitions can't be used to synchronize state
transitions with the SPI master.
* SPI_READY ... defines open drain signal that's pulled low
to pause the clock. This defines a 5-wire variant (normal
4-wire SPI plus READY) and two 4-wire variants (READY plus
each of the 3-wire flavors).
Such hardware flow control can be a big win. There are ADC
converters and flash chips that expose READY signals, but not
many host controllers support it today.
The spi_bitbang code should be changed to use SPI_NO_CS instead of its
current nonportable hack. That's a mode most hardware can easily support
(unlike SPI_READY).

ext2: return -EIO not -ESTALE on directory traversal through deleted inode
ext2_iget() returns -ESTALE if invoked on a deleted inode, in order to
report errors to NFS properly. However, in ext[234]_lookup(), this
-ESTALE can be propagated to userspace if the filesystem is corrupted such
that a directory entry references a deleted inode. This leads to a
misleading error message - "Stale NFS file handle" - and confusion on the
part of the admin.
The bug can be easily reproduced by creating a new filesystem, making a
link to an unused inode using debugfs, then mounting and attempting to ls
-l said link.
This patch thus changes ext2_lookup to return -EIO if it receives -ESTALE
from ext2_iget(), as ext2 does for other filesystem metadata corruption;
and also invokes the appropriate ext*_error functions when this case is
detected.
With ELF, at generating coredump, some more headers other than used
vmas are added.
When max_map_count == 65536, a core generated by following kinds of
code can be unreadable because the number of ELF's program header is
written in 16bit in Ehdr (please see elf.h) and the number overflows.
Commonly available versions of cp and tar don't work well with special
files created using seq_file. Mention this problem in the gcov
documentation and update the helper script example to work around these
problems.

alpha: fix percpu build breakage
alpha percpu access requires custom SHIFT_PERCPU_PTR() definition for
modules to work around addressing range limitation. This is done via
generating inline assembly using C preprocessing which forces the
assembler to generate external reference. This happens behind the
compiler's back and makes the compiler think that static percpu variables
in modules are unused.
This used to be worked around by using __unused attribute for percpu
variables which prevent the compiler from omitting the variable; however,
recent declare/definition attribute unification change broke this as
__used can't be used for declaration. Also, in the process,
PER_CPU_ATTRIBUTES definition in alpha percpu.h got broken.
This patch adds PER_CPU_DEF_ATTRIBUTES which is only used for definitions
and make alpha use it to add __used for percpu variables in modules. This
also fixes the PER_CPU_ATTRIBUTES double definition bug.

Al analysed this some time ago. When we say something is const then

The ctors section for each object file is eight byte aligned (on 64 bit).

Therefore the linker may add some zeroes after __ctors_start to make sure
the ctors contents are properly aligned. However the extra zeroes at the

pointers contained in there and extra zeroes are added this may result in
random jumps. So make sure that the __ctors_start symbol is always
