x86: Replace uses of current_cpu_data with this_cpu ops
Replace all uses of current_cpu_data with this_cpu operations on the
per cpu structure cpu_info. The scala accesses are replaced with the
matching this_cpu ops which results in smaller and more efficient
code.
In the long run, it might be a good idea to remove cpu_data() macro
too and use per_cpu macro directly.

vmstat: User per cpu atomics to avoid interrupt disable / enable
Currently the operations to increment vm counters must disable interrupts
in order to not mess up their housekeeping of counters.
So use this_cpu_cmpxchg() to avoid the overhead. Since we can no longer
count on preremption being disabled we still have some minor issues.
The fetching of the counter thresholds is racy.
A threshold from another cpu may be applied if we happen to be
rescheduled on another cpu. However, the following vmstat operation
will then bring the counter again under the threshold limit.
The operations for __xxx_zone_state are not changed since the caller
has taken care of the synchronization needs (and therefore the cycle
count is even less than the optimized version for the irq disable case
provided here).
The optimization using this_cpu_cmpxchg will only be used if the arch
supports efficient this_cpu_ops (must have CONFIG_CMPXCHG_LOCAL set!)
The use of this_cpu_cmpxchg reduces the cycle count for the counter
operations by %80 (inc_zone_page_state goes from 170 cycles to 32).
irq_work: Use per cpu atomics instead of regular atomics
The irq work queue is a per cpu object and it is sufficient for
synchronization if per cpu atomics are used. Doing so simplifies
the code and reduces the overhead of the code.

Generic code to provide new per cpu atomic features

Fallback occurs to functions using interrupts disable/enable
to ensure correct per cpu atomicity.
Fallback to regular cmpxchg and xchg is not possible since per cpu atomic
semantics include the guarantee that the current cpus per cpu data is
accessed atomically. Use of regular cmpxchg and xchg requires the
determination of the address of the per cpu data before regular cmpxchg
or xchg which therefore cannot be atomically included in an xchg or
cmpxchg without segment override.

that fixes a problem with the LD/SD macro currently implemented by GAS for
the o32 ABI in an inconsistent way. This is best illustrated with a
simple program, which I'm copying here from the message above for easier
reference:
The GAS fix makes the macro behave in a consistent way and pairs of LW/SW
instructions to be output as appropriate regardless of the size of the
offset associated with the address used. The machine instruction is still
available, but to reach it macros have to be disabled first. This has a
side effect of requiring the use of a machine-addressable memory operand.
As some platforms require 64-bit operations for accesses to some I/O
registers LD/SD instructions are used in a couple of places in Linux
regardless of the ABI selected. Here's a fix for some pieces of code
affected I've been able to track down. The fix should be backwards
compatible with all supported binutils releases in existence and can be
used as a reference for any other places or off-tree code. The use of the
"R" constraint guarantees a machine-addressable operand.

COMPARE is written.

Two x86 patches broke lguest:

In lguest, the host places linear page tables at the top of mem, which
used to be enough to get us up to the swapper_pg_dir page tables. With

the kernel wouldn't blatt the lguest boot pagetables (yuk!), but then...
This was initialized in a part of head_32.S which isn't executed by
lguest; it is then copied into swapper_pg_dir. So we have to initialize
it; and anyway we switch to it before we blatt the old tables, so that
fixes the previous damage as well.

nilfs2: fix regression of garbage collection ioctl
On 2.6.37-rc1, garbage collection ioctl of nilfs was broken due to the

and leading to filesystem corruption.
The patch doesn't queue gc-inodes for log writer if they are reused
through the vfs inode cache. Here, gc-inode is the inode which
buffers blocks to be relocated on GC. That patch queues gc-inodes in
nilfs_init_gcinode() function, but this function is not called when
they don't have I_NEW flag. Thus, some of live blocks are wrongly
overrode without being moved to new logs.
This resolves the problem by moving the gc-inode queueing to an outer

ext4: fix typo which broke '..' detection in ext4_find_entry()
ext4: Turn off multiple page-io submission by default
The install_special_mapping routine (used, for example, to setup the
vdso) skips the security check before insert_vm_struct, allowing a local
attacker to bypass the mmap_min_addr security restriction by limiting
the available pages for special mappings.
bprm_mm_init() also skips the check, and although I don't think this can
be used to bypass any restrictions, I don't see any reason not to have
the security check.

fanotify: split version into version and metadata_len
To implement per event type optional headers we are interested in
knowing how long the metadata structure is. This patch slits the __u32
version field into a __u8 version and a __u16 metadata_len field (with
__u8 left over). This should allow for backwards compat ABI.

Input: define separate EVIOCGKEYCODE_V2/EVIOCSKEYCODE_V2
The desire to keep old names for the EVIOCGKEYCODE/EVIOCSKEYCODE while
extending them to support large scancodes was a mistake. While we tried
to keep ABI intact (and we succeeded in doing that, programs compiled
on older kernels will work on newer ones) there is still a problem with
recompiling existing software with newer kernel headers.
New kernel headers will supply updated ioctl numbers and kernel will
expect that userspace will use struct input_keymap_entry to set and
retrieve keymap data. But since the names of ioctls are still the same
userspace will happily compile even if not adjusted to make use of the
new structure and will start miraculously fail in the field.
To avoid this issue let's revert EVIOCGKEYCODE/EVIOCSKEYCODE definitions
and add EVIOCGKEYCODE_V2/EVIOCSKEYCODE_V2 so that userspace can explicitly
select the style of ioctls it wants to employ.

ARM: 6535/1: V6 MPCore v6_dma_inv_range and v6_dma_flush_range RWFO fix
Cache ownership must be acquired by reading/writing data from the
cache line to make cache operation have the desired effect on the
SMP MPCore CPU. However, the ownership is never acquired in the
v6_dma_inv_range function when cleaning the first line and
flushing the last one, in case the address is not aligned
to D_CACHE_LINE_SIZE boundary.
Fix this by reading/writing data if needed, before performing
cache operations.
While at it, fix v6_dma_flush_range to prevent RWFO outside
the buffer.

Because the nwfpe support is unlikely to be used on new platforms

At present, nwfpe contains assembly code which isn't Thumb-2

code.
All ARMv7-A/R platforms necessarily have VFPv3 hardware floating-

ARM: 6533/1: Thumb-2: Make CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL depend on !CPU_V6
This makes sense, because Thumb-2 code can't execute on plain
ARMv6 processors.
This will avoid accidentally configuring a broken kernel where the
config otherwise would allow multiple architecture versions to
coexist in the same kernel.
Not adding !CPU_V5 etc., because the chance of anyone trying to
put v5 and v7 in the same kernel is low, and I'm not aware of
any mach which can do this. These could be added later if it
matters.
Note that the rules may need to be refined if support for the
ARM1156J(F)-S processor is later added to the kernel, since this
processor supports the rare ARMv6T2 extensions, which add support
for Thumb-2 and a few other ARMv7 features.
