It seems a simple mistake was made when converting follow_hugetlb_page()
over to the VM_FAULT flags bitmasks (in "mm: fault feedback #2", commit
83c54070ee1a2d05c89793884bea1a03f2851ed4).
By using the wrong bitmask, hugetlb_fault() failures are not being
recognized. This results in an infinite loop whenever follow_hugetlb_page
is involved in a failed fault.

Skip calling cache_free_alien() when the platform is not numa capable.
This will avoid cache misses that happen while accessing slabp (which is
per page memory reference) to get nodeid. Instead use a global variable to
skip the call, which is mostly likely to be present in the cache.
This gives a 0.8% performance boost with the database oltp workload on a
quad-core SMP platform and by any means the number is not small :)

With this patch any thread can dequeue its own private signals via signalfd,
even if it was created by another sub-thread.
To do so, we pass "current" to dequeue_signal() if the caller is from the same
thread group. This also fixes the scheduling of posix timers broken by the
previous patch.
If the caller doesn't belong to this thread group, we can't handle __SI_TIMER
case properly anyway. Perhaps we should forbid the cross-process signalfd usage
and convert ctx->tsk to ctx->sighand.

dequeue_signal:
if (__SI_TIMER) {
spin_unlock(&tsk->sighand->siglock);
do_schedule_next_timer(info);
spin_lock(&tsk->sighand->siglock);
}
Unless tsk == curent, this is absolutely unsafe: nothing prevents tsk from
exiting. If signalfd was passed to another process, do_schedule_next_timer()
is just wrong.
Add yet another "tsk == current" check into dequeue_signal().
This patch fixes an oopsable bug, but breaks the scheduling of posix timers
if the shared __SI_TIMER signal was fetched via signalfd attached to another
sub-thread. Mostly fixed by the next patch.

sys_timer_create() sets ->it_process and unlocks ->siglock, then checks
tmr->it_sigev_notify to define if get_task_struct() is needed.
We already passed ->it_id to the caller, another thread can delete this timer
and free its memory in between.
As a minimal fix, move this code under ->siglock, sys_timer_delete() takes it
too before calling release_posix_timer(). A proper serialization would be to
take ->it_lock, we add a partly initialized timer on posix_timers_id, not
good.

timer_delete does:
lock_timer();
timer->it_process = NULL;
unlock_timer();
release_posix_timer();
timer->it_process is checked in lock_timer() to prevent access to a
timer, which is on the way to be deleted, but the check happens after
idr_lock is dropped. This allows release_posix_timer() to delete the
timer before the lock code can check the timer:
CPU 0 CPU 1
lock_timer();
timer->it_process = NULL;
unlock_timer();
lock_timer()
spin_lock(idr_lock);
timer = idr_find();
spin_lock(timer->lock);
spin_unlock(idr_lock);
release_posix_timer();
spin_lock(idr_lock);
idr_remove(timer);
spin_unlock(idr_lock);
free_timer(timer);
if (timer->......)
Change the locking to prevent this.

The new exec code inserts an accounted vma into an mm struct which is not
current->mm. The existing memory check code has a hard coded assumption
that this does not happen as does the security code.
As the correct mm is known we pass the mm to the security method and the
helper function. A new security test is added for the case where we need
to pass the mm and the existing one is modified to pass current->mm to
avoid the need to change large amounts of code.

The new rtc-m41t80 driver name doesn't match its module name, which
prevents it from properly hotplugging. Since it's new, no platforms yet
depend on that name ... so this patch fixes the driver name to match its
module name, rather than going the other way around with a MODULE_ALIAS().
NOTE: This sort of bug is a new thing to watch out for with new-style I2C
drivers; previously I2C couldn't hotplug.

contiguous areas
Lumpy reclaim works by selecting a lead page from the LRU list and then
selecting pages for reclaim from the order-aligned area of pages. In the
situation were all pages in that region are inactive and not referenced by any
process over time, it works well.
In the situation where there is even light load on the system, the pages may
not free quickly. Out of a area of 1024 pages, maybe only 950 of them are
freed when the allocation attempt occurs because lumpy reclaim returned early.
This patch alters the behaviour of direct reclaim for large contiguous
blocks.
The first attempt to call shrink_page_list() is asynchronous but if it fails,
the pages are submitted a second time and the calling process waits for the IO
to complete. This may stall allocators waiting for contiguous memory but that
should be expected behaviour for high-order users. It is preferable behaviour
to potentially queueing unnecessary areas for IO. Note that kswapd will not
stall in this fashion.

clear_active_flags
As pointed out by Mel when reclaim is applied at higher orders a significant
amount of IO may be started. As this takes finite time to drain reclaim will
consider more areas than ultimatly needed to satisfy the request. This leads
to more reclaim than strictly required and reduced success rates.
I was able to confirm Mel's test results on systems locally. These show that
even under light load the success rates drop off far more than expected.
Testing with a modified version of his patch (which follows) I was able to
allocate almost all of ZONE_MOVABLE with a near idle system. I ran 5 test
passes sequentially following system boot (the system has 29 hugepages in
ZONE_MOVABLE):
2.6.23-rc1 11 8 6 7 7
sync_lumpy 28 28 29 29 26
These show that although hugely better than the near 0% success normally
expected we can only allocate about a 1/4 of the zone. Using synchronous
reclaim for these allocations we get close to 100% as expected.
I have also run our standard high order tests and these show no regressions in
allocation success rates at rest, and some significant improvements under
load.
This patch:
We are transitioning pages from active to inactive in clear_active_flags,
those need counting as PGDEACTIVATE vm events.

The serial_pci driver tries to guess serial ports on unknown devices based
on the PCI class (modem or serial). On certain softmodems (AC'97 modems)
this can lead to the recognition of non-existing serial ports.
This patch adds a blacklist of PCI IDs that are to be ignored by the driver.

Reading the LSR clears the break, parity, frame error, and overrun bits in
the 8250 chip, but these are not being saved in all places that read the
LSR. Same goes for the MSR delta bits. Save the LSR bits off whenever the
lsr is read so they can be handled later in the receive routine. Save the
MSR bits to be handled in the modem status routine.
Also, clear the stored bits and clear the interrupt registers before
enabling interrupts, to avoid handling old values of the stored bits in the
interrupt routines.

The uart_set_termios() function will bail out early without bothering to
touch the hardware, if it decides that nothing "relevant" has changed.
Unfortunately, its idea of "relevant" doesn't include c_[io]speed. So if
the baud rate bits are BOTHER and you just change the speed, the change
gets optimised away.
This patch makes it ignore the old Bfoo bits in c_cflag and just check
whether c_ispeed and c_ospeed have changed. Those integers are always set
appropriately for us by set_termios().

Booting SPARSEMEM on NUMA systems trips a BUG in page_alloc.c:

attempt to free pages from all nodes into the zones on node 0.
When the zone_table[] was removed in the following commit, a new

leave lazy mode when doing a vmalloc sync.

After doing some tests this seems to be the best variant for s390 and
should be correct as well. With gcc 4.2.1 we get the following kernel
image sizes using the default configuration:
atomic_t type volatile, atomic_read/set defines 5311824 bytes
atomic_t type int, atomic_read/set defines 5270864 bytes
atomic_t type int, atomic_read/set inline asm 5279056 bytes
atomic_t type int, atomic_read/set inline barrier 5270864 bytes

Placing a kprobe on "bc" instruction (s390/s390x) can cause an oops.
The instruction length is encoded into the first two bits of the s390
instruction. Kprobe is incorrectly computing the instruction length.
The instruction length is used for determining what type of "fix-up" is
needed for conditional branch instruction. The problem can bee seen by
placing a kprobe on a "bc" instruction that will not branch. The
results is that Kprobe incorrectly computes the new instruction
pointer (psw.addr) after single stepping the instruction. The problem
is corrected with this patch.

hypfs removes the whole hypfs directory tree and creates a new one, when a
process triggers an update by writing to the "update" attribute. When removing
and creating files, it is necessary to lock the inode of the parent directory
where the files live. Currently hypfs does not lock the parent inode, which
can lead to inode corruption. This patch:
* Introduces correct locking
* Fixes i_nlink reference counting for inodes, when creating directories
* Adds info printk, when hypfs filesystem has been mounted

The instruction table for b2 opcodes was missing an opfrag value
for the cpya instruction. All instructions specified after cpya
were not considered by the disassembler. The fix is simple and
obvious - add the opfrag field to the cpya instruction.

When a vmur device is removed due to a detach of the device, currently the
ur device structure is freed. Unfortunately it can happen, that there is
still a user of the device structure, when the character device is open
during the detach process. To fix this, reference counting for the vmur
structure is introduced.
In addition to that, the online, offline, probe and remove functions are
serialized now using a global mutex.

There are several s390 diagnose calls, which must be executed below the
2GB memory boundary. In order to enforce this, those diagnoses must be
compiled into the kernel. Currently diag 14 can be called within the
vmur kernel module from addresses above 2GB. This leads to specification
exceptions. This patch moves diag10, diag14 and diag210 into the new
diag.c file.

Hipersocket Multicast queue works asynchronously. When sending buffers,
the buffer state change may happen delayed. The tasklet for checking
changes in the outbound queue excluded IQDIO async queues from this
process. This created either a hang situation when the queue ran full,
or presented a hang situation a interface close time.
The tasklet processing is changed to include IQDIO async queues when
requesting buffer state refresh.

QDIO returned from EQBS instruction in any case after return code
CCQ=96 was issued regardless whether buffer states for at least one
buffer were extracted or not.
This caused FCP devices to hang when running under z/VM and having
QIOASSASIST=ON and having high I/O rates.
In order to fix this qdio return code processing of EQBS instruction
after CCQ=96 is changed that buffers are returned and if no buffers
where extracted the instruction is repeated at once.
