!CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU
The following patchset allows a host with running virtual machines to be
suspended and, on at least a subset of the machines tested, resumed. Note
that this is orthogonal to suspending and resuming an individual guest to a
file.
A side effect of implementing suspend/resume is that cpu hotplug is now
supported. This should please the owners of big iron.
This patch:
KVM wants the cpu hotplug notifications, both for cpu hotplug itself, but more
commonly for host suspend/resume.
In order to avoid extensive #ifdefs, provide stubs when CONFIG_CPU_HOTPLUG is
not defined.
In all, we have four cases:
- UP: register and unregister stubbed out
- SMP+hotplug: full register and unregister
- SMP, no hotplug, core: register as __init, unregister stubbed
(cpus are brought up during core initialization)
- SMP, no hotplug, module: register and unregister stubbed out
(cpus cannot be brought up during module lifetime)

vcpu_load() can return NULL and it sometimes does in failure paths (for
example when the userspace ABI version is too old) - causing a preemption
count underflow in the ->vcpu_free() later on. So check for NULL.

We report the value of cr8 to userspace on an exit. Also let userspace change
cr8 when we re-enter the guest. The lets 64-bit guest code maintain the tpr

The kvm mmu relies on cr0.wp being set even if the guest does not set it. The

gva_to_gpa() needs to be updated to the new walk_addr() calling convention,

This patch adds into write inode path function to write UFS2 inode, and
modifys allocate inode path to allocate and init additional inode chunks.
Also some cleanups:

- remove i_gen field from ufs_inode_info structure,

These series of patches add UFS2 write-support. UFS2 - is default file system
for recent versions of FreeBSD.
The main differences from UFS1 from write support point of view
are:
1)Not all inodes are allocated during formatation of disk.
2)All meta-data(pointer to data blocks) are 64bit(in UFS1 they
are 32bit).
So patch series consist of
1)make possible mount UFS2 in read-write mode
2)code to write ufs2 inodes and code to initialize inodes chunks.
3)work with 64bit meta-data
I made simple testing like create/deleting/writing/reading/truncating, also I
ran fsx-linux and untar and build kernel on UFS1 and UFS2, after that FreeBSD
fsck do not find any errors in fs.
This patch makes possible to mount ufs2 "rw", and updates UFS2 documentation:
remove note about bug(it fixed by reallocate blocks on the fly patch) and add
me in the list of people who want receive bug reports.

Current implementation allows the kernel to receive up to 255 characters from
the bootloader. While the boot protocol allows greater buffers to be sent.
In current environment, the command-line is used in order to specify many
values, including suspend/resume, module arguments, splash, initramfs and
more.
255 characters are not enough anymore.
After edd issue was fixed, and dynammic kernel command-line patch was
accepted, we can extend the COMMAND_LINE_SIZE without runtime memory
requirements.

Current implementation stores a static command-line buffer allocated to
COMMAND_LINE_SIZE size. Most architectures stores two copies of this buffer,
one for future reference and one for parameter parsing.
Current kernel command-line size for most architecture is much too small for
module parameters, video settings, initramfs paramters and much more. The
problem is that setting COMMAND_LINE_SIZE to a grater value, allocates static
buffers.
In order to allow a greater command-line size, these buffers should be
dynamically allocated or marked as init disposable buffers, so unused memory
can be released.
This patch renames the static saved_command_line variable into
boot_command_line adding __initdata attribute, so that it can be disposed
after initialization. This rename is required so applications that use
saved_command_line will not be affected by this change.
It reintroduces saved_command_line as dynamically allocated buffer to match
the data in boot_command_line.
It also mark secondary command-line buffer as __initdata, and copies it to
dynamically allocated static_command_line buffer components may hold reference
to it after initialization.
This patch is for linux-2.6.20-rc4-mm1 and is divided to target each
architecture. I could not check this in any architecture so please forgive me
if I got it wrong.
The per-architecture modification is very simple, use boot_command_line in
place of saved_command_line. The common code is the change into dynamic
command-line.
This patch:
1. Rename saved_command_line into boot_command_line, mark as init
disposable.
2. Add dynamic allocated saved_command_line.
3. Add dynamic allocated static_command_line.
4. During startup copy: boot_command_line into saved_command_line. arch
command_line into static_command_line.
5. Parse static_command_line and not arch command_line, so arch
command_line may be freed.

Avoid expensive integer divide 3 times per CPU per tick.
A userspace test of this loop went from 26ns, down to 19ns on a G5; and
from 123ns down to 28ns on a P3.
(Also avoid a variable bit shift, as suggested by Alan. The effect
of this wasn't noticable on the CPUs I tested with).

sys_write() takes a local copy of f_pos and writes that back
into the struct file. It does this so that two concurrent write()
callers don't make a mess of f_pos, and of the file contents.
ecryptfs should be calling vfs_write(). That way we also get the fsnotify
notifications, which ecryptfs presently appears to have subverted.
Convert direct calls to f_op->write() into calls to vfs_write().

Provide an option to provide a view of the encrypted files such that the
metadata is always in the header of the files, regardless of whether the
metadata is actually in the header or in the extended attribute. This mode of
operation is useful for applications like incremental backup utilities that do
not preserve the extended attributes when directly accessing the lower files.
With this option enabled, the files under the eCryptfs mount point will be
read-only.
