inserting pages into the page cache at offsets the core VM considers

This would not be a problem except that hugetlbfs also provide a
->readpage implementation. As it exists, the core VM can assume the
base page size is being used, allocate pages on behalf of the
filesystem, insert them into the page cache and call ->readpage to
populate them. These pages are the wrong size and at the wrong offset
for hugetlbfs causing confusion.
This patch deletes the ->readpage implementation for hugetlbfs on the
grounds the core VM should not be allocating and populating pages on
behalf of hugetlbfs. There should be no existing users of the
->readpage implementation so it should not cause a regression.

xtensa: Fix linker script to include .literal sections
Fix resembles implementation from Marc Gauthier and Piet Denaly:
In the Xtensa architecture, assembly generates literals which must always
precede the code (the L32R instruction that loads them only uses negative
PC-relative offsets). For any *.text section, literals are placed in a
corresponding *.literal section. The linker script (vmlinux.lds) must
place these in the correct order. It must also combine them, when the
*.text section can be larger than L32R's 256 kB range.
For example, this doesn't work: *(.literal) *(.text) because L32R
instructions at the end of .text can't reach the literals.
The linker can solve this if they are combined in parentheses, like this:
*(.literal .text)
because it is now allowed mix literals in .text to bring them in range.
None of this is done by standard vmlinux.lds.h macros such as TEXT_TEXT
and INIT_TEXT. To avoid replicating the logic of that header file, we
instead post-process the generated linker script to convert *(xxx.text)
to *(xxx.literal xxx.text) for the following text sections:
.text .ref.text .*init.text .*exit.text .text.*
using a sed script. To do this we must override the default rule for
vmlinux.lds (see scripts/Makefile.build and the top-level Makefile)
to insert this extra step.

libata: fix attach error handling
New device attach path in ata_eh_revalidate_and_attach() is divided
into two separate loops because ATA requires IDENTIFY to be issued to
slave first while the user expects to see device probe messages from
the master device. new_mask is used to track which devices are the
new ones between the first loop and the second.
This usually works well but if an error occurs during configuration
stage, ata_dev_revalidate_and_attach() returns with error code and
forgets new_mask. On the retry run, dev->class is set and new_mask
for the device is clear, so the device just gets revalidated and thus
ends up skipping post-configuration procedure including scheduling of
SCSI_HOTPLUG for the device. When this occurs, ATA part of probing
works fine but SCSI probing usually doesn't happen and makes the
device unreachable.
The behavior has been around for a very long time but it has been
uncovered with the recent addition of 1_5_GBPS horkage which uses
-EAGAIN return value from ata_dev_configure() to restart the probing
sequence after forcing cable speed.
This can be fixed by making sure dev->class is permanently set only

bits of the address.
This patch avoids that problem by using PHYSICAL_PAGE_MASK instead of
PAGE_MASK where appropriate. It leaves '& PAGE_MASK' in a few instances
that don't matter -- where it's being used on the virtual bus addresses
we're dishing out, which are 32-bit anyway.
Since PHYSICAL_PAGE_MASK is not present on other architectures, we have
to define it (to PAGE_MASK) if it's not already defined.
Maybe it would be better just to fix PAGE_MASK for i386/PAE?

KVM: SVM: Remove port 80 passthrough
KVM optimizes guest port 80 accesses by passthing them through to the host.
Some AMD machines die on port 80 writes, allowing the guest to hard-lock the
host.
Remove the port passthrough to avoid the problem.

KVM: SVM: Fix cross vendor migration issue with unusable bit
AMDs VMCB does not have an explicit unusable segment descriptor field,
so we emulate it by using "not present". This has to be setup before
the fixups, because this field is used there.

Even though nilfs_clean_segments() does not perform write access on
given user pages, it may cause deadlock because nilfs->ns_segctor_sem
is shared per device and mm->mmap_sem can be shared with other tasks.
To avoid this problem, this patch moves all calls of copy_from_user()
outside the nilfs->ns_segctor_sem lock in the ioctl.
