Changed the default value of hung_task_check_count to PID_MAX_LIMIT.
hung_task_batch_count added to put an upper bound on the critical
section. Every hung_task_batch_count checks, the rcu lock is never
held for a too long time.
Keeping the critical section small minimizes time preemption is disabled
and keeps rcu grace periods small.
To prevent following a stale pointer, get_task_struct is called on g and t.
To verify that g and t have not been unhashed while outside the critical
section, the task states are checked.
softlockup: fix potential race in hung_task when resetting timeout
Impact: fix potential false panic
A potential race exists if sysctl_hung_task_timeout_secs is reset to 0
while inside check_hung_uniterruptible_tasks(). If check_task() is
entered, a comparison with 0 will result in a false hung_task being
detected.
If sysctl_hung_task_panic is set, the system will panic.
softlockup: fix to allow compiling with !DETECT_HUNG_TASK

Fix timeouts in sys_pselect7
Since we (Analog Devices) updated our Blackfin kernel to 2.6.28, we've
seen occasional 5-second hangs from telnet. telnetd calls select with a
NULL timeout, but with the new kernel, the system call occasionally
returns 0, which causes telnet to call sleep (5). This did not happen
with earlier kernels.
The code in sys_pselect7 looks a bit strange, in particular the variable
"to" is initialized to NULL, then changed if a non-null timeout was
passed in, but not used further. It needs to be passed to
core_sys_select instead of &end_time.

fix early_serial_setup() regression
Commit b430428a188e8a434325e251d0704af4b88b4711 ("8250: Don't clobber
spinlocks.") introduced a regression on the parisc architecture, which
broke the handover to the serial port at boottime.
early_serial_setup() was changed to only copy a subset of the uart_port
fields, and sadly the "type" and "line" fields were forgotten and thus
the serial port was not initialized and could not be used for a
handover. This patch fixes this by copying the missing fields.
As this change to early_serial_setup() doesn't need an initialized
spinlock in the uart_port struct any longer, we can drop the spinlock
initialization in the superio driver.

Impact: reduce scope of debug check - avoid warnings
The logic to find whether identity map exists or not using
high_memory or max_low_pfn_mapped/max_pfn_mapped are not complete
as the memory withing the range may not be mapped if there is a
unusable hole in e820.
Specifically, on my test system I started seeing these warnings with
tools like hwinfo, acpidump trying to map ACPI region.
We can add logic to check for this. But, there can also be other holes in
identity map when we have 1GB of aligned reserved space in e820.
This patch handles it by removing the WARN_ON and returning a specific
error value (EFAULT) to indicate that the address does not have any
identity mapping.
The code that tries to keep identity map in sync can ignore
this error, with other callers of cpa still getting error here.
x86 PAT: return compatible mapping to remap_pfn_range callers
Impact: avoid warning message, potentially solve 3D performance regression
Change x86 PAT code to return compatible memtype if the exact memtype that
was requested in remap_pfn_rage and friends is not available due to some
conflict.
This is done by returning the compatible type in pgprot parameter of
track_pfn_vma_new(), and the caller uses that memtype for page table.
Note that track_pfn_vma_copy() which is basically called during fork gets the
prot from existing page table and should not have any conflict. Hence we use
strict memtype check there and do not allow compatible memtypes.
x86 PAT: change track_pfn_vma_new to take pgprot_t pointer param
Impact: cleanup
Change the protection parameter for track_pfn_vma_new() into a pgprot_t pointer.
Subsequent patch changes the x86 PAT handling to return a compatible
memtype in pgprot_t, if what was requested cannot be allowed due to conflicts.
No fuctionality change in this patch.
x86 PAT: consolidate old memtype new memtype check into a function
Impact: cleanup
Move the new memtype old memtype allowed check to header so that is can be
shared by other users. Subsequent patch uses this in pat.c in remap_pfn_range()
code path. No functionality change in this patch.

m68k: amiflop - Get rid of sleep_on calls
Apart from sleep_on() calls that could be easily converted to
wait_event() and completion calls amiflop also used a flag in ms_delay()
and ms_isr() as a custom mutex for ms_delay() without a need for
explicit unlocking. I converted that to a standard mutex.
The replacement for the unconditional sleep_on() in fd_motor_on() is a
complete_all() together with a INIT_COMPLETION() before the mod_timer()
call. It appears to me that fd_motor_on() might be called concurrently
and fd_select() does not guarantee mutual exclusivity in the case the
same drive gets selected again.

Dieter Ries reported bootup soft-hangs and bisected it back to
this commit, and reverting this commit gave him a working system.
The commit introduces work_on_cpu() use into the cpufreq code,
but that is subtly problematic from a lock hierarchy POV: the
hotplug-cpu lock is an highlevel lock that is taken before
lowlevel locks, and in this codepath we are called with the
policy lock taken.
Dieter did not have lockdep enabled so we dont have a nice stack
trace proof for this, but using work_on_cpu() in such a lowlevel
place certainly looks wrong, so we revert the patch.
work_on_cpu() needs to be reworked to be more generally usable.
Here the intention is to get the pgd corresponding to the current process
and sync it up with the pgd in init_mm(obtained from pgd_offset_k).
However, for kernel threads current->mm is NULL and hence pgd =
pgd_offset(init_mm, address) = pgd_ref which means the fault handler
returns without setting the pgd entry in the MM structure in the context
of which the kernel thread has faulted. This could lead to never-ending
faults and busy looping of kernel threads like pdflush. So, shouldn't the
pgd = pgd_offset(current->mm ?: &init_mm, address); be pgd =
pgd_offset(current->active_mm ?: &init_mm, address);
We can use active_mm unconditionally because it should be always set.
