[POWERPC] Automatically lmb_reserve() initrd
At present, when an initrd is passed to the kernel used flat device

in the flat tree's reserve map, or the kernel may overwrite it. That
makes life more complicated than it could be for the bootwrapper.

[POWERPC] Allow duplicate lmb_reserve() calls
At present calling lmb_reserve() (and hence lmb_add_region()) twice
for exactly the same memory region will cause strange behaviour.
This makes life difficult when booting from a flat device tree with
memory reserve map. Which regions are automatically reserved by the
kernel has changed over time, so it's quite possible a newer kernel
could attempt to auto-reserve a region which is also explicitly listed
in the device tree's reserve map, leading to trouble.
This patch avoids the problem by making lmb_reserve() ignore a call to
reserve a previously reserved region. It also removes a now redundant
test designed to avoid one specific case of the problem noted above.
At present, this patch deals only with duplicate reservations of an
identical region. Attempting to reserve two different, but
overlapping regions will still cause problems. I might post another
patch later dealing with this case, but I'm avoiding it now since it
is substantially more complicated to deal with, less likely to occur
and more likely to indicate a genuine bug elsewhere if it does occur.

Based on a patch from Don Howard <dhoward@redhat.com>
When calling write() with a buffer larger than 512 bytes, the
driver's write buffer overflows, allowing to overwrite the EIP and
execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges.
In read(), there exists a similar problem, but coming from the device.
A malicous or buggy device sending more than 512 bytes can overflow
of the driver's read buffer, with the same effects as above.
sysfs_write_file downs buffer->sem while calling flush_write_buffer, and
flushing that particular write buffer entails downing buffer->sem in
orphan_all_buffers, resulting in the obvious self-deadlock.

[IA64] kexec: Use EFI_LOADER_DATA for ELF core header
The address where the ELF core header is stored is passed to the secondary
kernel as a kernel command line option. The memory area for this header is
also marked as a separate EFI memory descriptor on ia64.
The separate EFI memory descriptor is at the moment of the type
EFI_UNUSABLE_MEMORY. With such a type the secondary kernel skips over the
entire memory granule (config option, 16M or 64M) when detecting memory.
If we are lucky we will just lose some memory, but if we happen to have
data in the same granule (such as an initramfs image), then this data will
never get mapped and the kernel bombs out when trying to access it.
So this is an attempt to fix this by changing the EFI memory descriptor
type into EFI_LOADER_DATA. This type is the same type used for the kernel
data and for initramfs. In the secondary kernel we then handle the ELF
core header data the same way as we handle the initramfs image.
This patch contains the kernel changes to make this happen. Pretty
straightforward, we reserve the area in reserve_memory(). The address for
the area comes from the kernel command line and the size comes from the
specialized EFI parsing function vmcore_find_descriptor_size().
The kexec-tools-testing code for this can be found here:

The original test looked for a total_size of 0. Originally we added 1 to the
total_size. That would make our read_capacity return size 0 for >2TB lv's.
We assumed that we could not have a lv size of 0 so it seemed OK until we were
in a clustered system. The backup node would see a size of 0 due to the
reservation on the drive. That caused the driver to switch to 16-byte CDB's
which are not supported on older controllers. After that everything was
broken.
It may seem petty but I don't see the value in trying to determine if the LBA
is beyond the 2TB boundary. That's why when we switch we use 16-byte CDB's
for all read/write operations. Please consider this for inclusion.

if the time is set long before the next timer, there will be a period when
a gettimeofday() won't reflect the correct time.
I added an explicit update_vsyscall() during the settimeofday(), that way
the vsyscall state doesn't get stale.

[PATCH] highres: do not run the TIMER_SOFTIRQ after switching to highres mode
The TIMER_SOFTIRQ runs the hrtimers during bootup until a usable
clocksource and clock event sources are registered. The switch to high
resolution mode happens inside of the TIMER_SOFTIRQ, but runs the softirq
afterwards. That way the tick emulation timer, which was set up in the
switch to highres might be executed in the softirq context, which is a BUG.
The rbtree has not to be touched by the softirq after the highres switch.
This BUG was observed by Andres Salomon, who provided the information to
debug it.
Return early from the softirq, when the switch was sucessful.

[PATCH] i386: make x86_64 tsc header require i386 rather than vice-versa
Prior to commit 95492e4646e5de8b43d9a7908d6177fb737b61f0 ([PATCH] x86:
rewrite SMP TSC sync code), the headers in asm-i386 did not really require
anything in include/asm-x86_64. This means that distributions such as
fedora did not include asm-x86_64 in kernel-devel headers for i386. Ingo's
commit changed that, and broke things. This is easy enough to hack around
in package builds by just including asm-x86_64 on i386, but that's kind of
annoying. If anything, x86_64 should depend upon i386, not the other way
around.
This patch changes it so that asm-x86_64/tsc.h includes asm-i386/tsc.h,
rather than vice-versa.

[PATCH] Fix 2.6.21 rfcomm lockups
Any attempt to open/use a bluetooth rfcomm device locks up

Interrupts (ping, alt-sysrq) seem to be alive, but nothing else.
This was working fine in 2.6.20, broken now in 2.6.21-rc2-git*

The simplest fix for this bug is to prevent sysfs_move_dir()
from self-deadlocking when (old_parent == new_parent).
This patch prevents total system lockup when using rfcomm devices.

[PATCH] Save/restore periodic tick information over suspend/resume
The programming of periodic tick devices needs to be saved/restored
across suspend/resume - otherwise we might end up with a system coming
up that relies on getting a PIT (or HPET) interrupt, while those devices
default to 'no interrupts' after powerup. (To confuse things it worked
to a certain degree on some systems because the lapic gets initialized
as a side-effect of SMP bootup.)
This suspend / resume thing was dropped unintentionally during the
last-minute -mm code reshuffling.

sdhci: make isr tolerant of read errors
The interrupt is shared with another device, which resumes earlier than the
sdhci controller, and generates an interrupt.
The sdhci interrupt handler runs, sees 0xffffffff in its own device's
interrupt status, and tries to handle it.. The reason for the 0xffffffff
is that the device is still suspended, and *all* regs are reading back
0xffffffff.
