kbuild: strip generated symbols from *.ko
This patch changes the way __crc_ symbols are being resolved from
using ld to do so to using the assembler, thus allowing these symbols
to be marked local (the linker creates then as global ones) and hence
allow stripping (for modules) or ignoring (for vmlinux) them. While at
this, also strip other generated symbols during module installation.
One potentially debatable point is the handling of the flags passeed
to gcc when translating the intermediate assembly file into an object:
passing $(c_flags) unchanged doesn't work as gcc passes --gdwarf2 to
gas whenever is sees any -g* option, even for -g0, and despite the
fact that the compiler would have already produced all necessary debug
info in the C->assembly translation phase. I took the approach of just
filtering out all -g* options, but an alternative to such negative
filtering might be to have a positive filter which might, in the ideal
case allow just all the -Wa,* options to pass through.

This adds an "override" keyword for use in *.symvers / *.symref files.
When a symbol is overridden, the symbol's old definition will be used for
computing checksums instead of the new one, preserving the previous
checksum. (Genksyms will still warn about the change.)
This is meant to allow distributions to hide minor actual as well as fake
ABI changes. (For example, when extra type information becomes available
because additional headers are included, this may change checksums even
though none of the types used have actully changed.)
This approach also allows to get rid of "#ifdef __GENKSYMS__" hacks in the
code, which are currently used in some vendor kernels to work around
checksum changes.

Sometimes it is preferable to avoid changes of exported symbol checksums
(to avoid breaking externally provided modules). When a checksum change
occurs, it can be hard to figure out what caused this change: underlying
types may have changed, or additional type information may simply have
become available at the point where a symbol is exported.
Add a new --reference option to genksyms which allows it to report why
checksums change, based on the type information dumps it creates with the
--dump-types flag. Genksyms will read in such a dump from a previous run,
and report which symbols have changed (and why).
The behavior can be controlled for an entire build as follows: If
KBUILD_SYMTYPES is set, genksyms uses --dump-types to produce *.symtypes
dump files. If any *.symref files exist, those will be used as the
reference to check against. If KBUILD_PRESERVE is set, checksum changes
will fail the build.

amd74xx: workaround unreliable AltStatus register for nVidia controllers
It seems that on some nVidia controllers using AltStatus register
can be unreliable so default to Status register if the PCI device
is in Compatibility Mode. In order to achieve this:
* Add ide_pci_is_in_compatibility_mode() inline helper to <linux/ide.h>.
* Add IDE_HFLAG_BROKEN_ALTSTATUS host flag and set it in amd74xx host
driver for nVidia controllers in Compatibility Mode.
* Teach actual_try_to_identify() and drive_is_ready() about the new flag.
This fixes the regression caused by removal of CONFIG_IDEPCI_SHARE_IRQ
config option in 2.6.25 and using AltStatus register unconditionally when
available (kernel.org bugs #11659 and #10216).
[ Moreover for CONFIG_IDEPCI_SHARE_IRQ=y (which is what most people
and distributions use) it never worked correctly. ]

Fix module removal bugs of i82875p_edac. Also i82975x_edac code seems to
have the same module removal bugs as in i82875p_edac.
The problems were:
1. In module removal i82875p_remove_one() is never called.
Variable i82875p_registered is newer changed from 1, which
guarantees i82875p_remove_one() is not called (and even if it were

As a result, the edac_mc workque is not stopped and keeps probing.

get:
Fix for this is to get rid of needles variable i82875p_registered
altogether and run i82875p_remove_one() *before*
pci_unregister_driver().
2. edac_mc_del_mc() uses mci after freeing mci
edac_mc_del_mc() calls calls edac_remove_sysfs_mci_device(). The
kobject refcount of mci drops to 0 and mci is freed. After this
mci is accessed via debug print and i82875p_remove_one() still
uses mci->pvt and tries to free mci again with edac_mc_free().
The fix for this is add kobject_get(&mci->edac_mci_kobj) after
edac_mc_alloc(). Then the mci is still available after returning
from edac_mc_del_mc() with refcount 1, and mci->pvt is still
available. When i82875p_remove_one() finally calls edac_mc_free(),
this will cause kobject_put() and mci is released properly.

The commit aef7db4bd5a3b6068dfa05919a3d685199eed116 fixed the problem with
recursive locking in fb blanking code if blank is caused by user setting
the /sys/class/graphics/fb*/blank. However this broke the fbcon timeout
blanking.
If you use a driver that defines ->fb_blank operation and at the same time
that driver relies on other driver (e.g. backlight or lcd class) to blank
the screen, when the fbcon times out and tries to blank the fb, it will
call only fb driver blanker and won't notify the other driver. Thus FB
output is disabled, but the screen isn't blanked.
Restore fbcon blanking and at the same time apply the proper fix for the
above problem: if fbcon_blank is called with FBINFO_FLAG_USEREVENT, we are
already called through notification from fb_blank, thus we don't have to
blank the fb again.

epoll: introduce resource usage limits
It has been thought that the per-user file descriptors limit would also
limit the resources that a normal user can request via the epoll
interface. Vegard Nossum reported a very simple program (a modified
version attached) that can make a normal user to request a pretty large
amount of kernel memory, well within the its maximum number of fds. To
solve such problem, default limits are now imposed, and /proc based
configuration has been introduced. A new directory has been created,
named /proc/sys/fs/epoll/ and inside there, there are two configuration
points:
max_user_instances = Maximum number of devices - per user
max_user_watches = Maximum number of "watched" fds - per user
The current default for "max_user_watches" limits the memory used by epoll
to store "watches", to 1/32 of the amount of the low RAM. As example, a
256MB 32bit machine, will have "max_user_watches" set to roughly 90000.
That should be enough to not break existing heavy epoll users. The
default value for "max_user_instances" is set to 128, that should be
enough too.
This also changes the userspace, because a new error code can now come out
from EPOLL_CTL_ADD (-ENOSPC). The EMFILE from epoll_create() was already
listed, so that should be ok.

parport_serial: fix array overflow
The netmos_9xx5_combo type assumes that PCI SSID provides always the
correct value for the number of parallel and serial ports, but there are
indeed broken devices with wrong numbers, which may result in Oops.
This patch simply adds the check of the array range.
While memory hotplug allocate/free memmap, page_cgroup doesn't free
page_cgroup at OFFLINE when page_cgroup is allocated via bootomem.
(Because freeing bootmem requires special care.)
Then, if page_cgroup is allocated by bootmem and memmap is freed/allocated
by memory hotplug, page_cgroup->page == page is no longer true.
But current MEM_ONLINE handler doesn't check it and update
page_cgroup->page if it's not necessary to allocate page_cgroup. (This
was not found because memmap is not freed if SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is y.)
And I noticed that MEM_ONLINE can be called against "part of section".
So, freeing page_cgroup at CANCEL_ONLINE will cause trouble. (freeing
used page_cgroup) Don't rollback at CANCEL.
One more, current memory hotplug notifier is stopped by slub because it
sets NOTIFY_STOP_MASK to return vaule. So, page_cgroup's callback never
be called. (low priority than slub now.)
I think this slub's behavior is not intentional(BUG). and fixes it.
Another way to be considered about page_cgroup allocation:
- free page_cgroup at OFFLINE even if it's from bootmem
and remove specieal handler. But it requires more changes.

mm: vmalloc fix lazy unmapping cache aliasing
Jim Radford has reported that the vmap subsystem rewrite was sometimes
causing his VIVT ARM system to behave strangely (seemed like going into
infinite loops trying to fault in pages to userspace).
We determined that the problem was most likely due to a cache aliasing
issue. flush_cache_vunmap was only being called at the moment the page
tables were to be taken down, however with lazy unmapping, this can happen
after the page has subsequently been freed and allocated for something
else. The dangling alias may still have dirty data attached to it.
The fix for this problem is to do the cache flushing when the caller has
called vunmap -- it would be a bug for them to write anything else to the
mapping at that point.
That appeared to solve Jim's problems.

When resizing a CQ, MTTs associated with the old CQE buffer were not
freed. As a result, if any app used resize CQ repeatedly, all MTTs
were eventually exhausted, which led to all memory registration
operations failing until the driver is reloaded.
Once the RESIZE_CQ command returns successfully from FW, FW no longer
accesses the old CQ buffer, so it is safe to deallocate the MTT
entries used by the old CQ buffer.
Finally, if the RESIZE_CQ command fails, the MTTs allocated for the
new CQEs buffer also need to be de-allocated.
