This patch fixes arch/ppc kernels, at least for prep subarch, after
build-id addition. Without this, kernels were 3 times the size and
bootloader refused to load them. Now they are back to normal again.
Tested only with Roland McGrath's "Use LDFLAGS_MODULE only for .ko
links" patch applied - boots and works fine.

When a Fn key is used in combination with another key in ADB keyboards
it will generate a Fn event and then a second event that can be a
different key than pressed (Fn + F1 for instance can generate Fn +
brightness down if it's configured like that). This enables the
reporting of the Fn key to the input system.
As Fn is a dead key for most purposes, it's useful to report it so
applications can make use of it. One example is apple_mouse
(https://jake.ruivo.org/uinputd/trunk/apple_mouse/) that emulates the
second and third keys using a combination of keyboard keys and the mouse
button. Other applications may use the KEY_FN as a modifier as well.
I've been updating and using this patch for months without problems.

Pretty much everyone uses "__attribute__" or "attribute", no one uses
"__attribute". This tweaks the three places in asm-powerpc where this
comes up. While only asm-powerpc/types.h is interesting (for
userspace), I did asm-powerpc/processor.h as well for consistency.

Commit 69331af, "Fixes and cleanups for earlyprintk aka boot console",
resulted in printk output prior to the initialization of the mpsc
console driver not being printed. That commit causes the mpsc's
CON_PRINTBUFFER flag to be cleared since udbg should have printed
the previous output.
I guess we can no longer ignore udbg. :)
This patch provides udbg_putc() and udbg_getc() functions for the
Marvell mv64x60 chips. These functions are enabled if an mv64x60
port is to be used as the console as determined from the device tree.

This adds the option for the pmac_zilog driver to use the major/minor
numbers recently allocated specifically for it (/dev/ttyPZn) instead
of the /dev/ttySn numbers. The advantage of doing this is that it
allows the pmac_zilog and 8250 drivers to coexist. The disadvantage
of doing this is that it is a user-visible ABI change and it will
break existing working setups on powermacs, and could be confusing to
users.

This patch includes a whole batch of smallish cleanups for
drivers/mtd/physmap_of.c.
- A bunch of uneeded #includes are removed
- We switch to the modern linux/of.h etc. in place of
asm/prom.h
- Use some helper macros to avoid some ugly inline #ifdefs
- A few lines of unreachable code are removed
- A number of indentation / line-wrapping fixes
- More consistent use of kernel idioms such as if (!p) instead
of if (p == NULL)
- Clarify some printk()s and other informative strings.
- parse_obsolete_partitions() now returns 0 if no partition
information is found, instead of returning -ENOENT which the caller
had to handle specially.
- (the big one) Despite the name, this driver really has
nothing to do with drivers/mtd/physmap.c. The fact that the flash
chips must be physically direct mapped is a constrant, but doesn't
really say anything about the actual purpose of this driver, which is
to instantiate MTD devices based on information from the device tree.
Therefore the physmap name is replaced everywhere within the file with
"of_flash". The file itself and the Kconfig option is not renamed for
now (so that the diff is actually a diff). That can come later.

Randy Dunlap noticed an interesting "crashme" behaviour on his dual
Prescott Xeon setup, where he gets page faults with the error code
having a zero "user" bit, but the register state points back to user
mode.
This may be a CPU microcode buglet triggered by some strange instruction
pattern that crashme generates, and loading a microcode update seems to
possibly have fixed it.
Regardless, we really should trust the register state more than the
error code, since it's really the register state that determines whether
we can actually send a signal, or whether we're in kernel mode and need
to oops/kill the process in the case of a page fault.

This patch fixes a crash caused by an interrupt coming in when an IRQ stack
is being torn down. When this happens, handle_signal will loop, setting up
the IRQ stack again because the tearing down had finished, and handling
whatever signals had come in.
However, to_irq_stack returns a mask of pending signals to be handled, plus
bit zero is set if the IRQ stack was already active, and thus shouldn't be
torn down. This causes a problem because when handle_signal goes around
the loop, sig will be zero, and to_irq_stack will duly set bit zero in the
returned mask, faking handle_signal into believing that it shouldn't tear
down the IRQ stack and return thread_info pointers back to their original
values.
This will eventually cause a crash, as the IRQ stack thread_info will
continue pointing to the original task_struct and an interrupt will look
into it after it has been freed.
The fix is to stop passing a signal number into to_irq_stack. Rather, the
pending signals mask is initialized beforehand with the bit for sig already
set. References to sig in to_irq_stack can be replaced with references to
the mask.

This patch proposes fixes to the reference counting of memory policy in the
page allocation paths and in show_numa_map(). Extracted from my "Memory
Policy Cleanups and Enhancements" series as stand-alone.
Shared policy lookup [shmem] has always added a reference to the policy,
but this was never unrefed after page allocation or after formatting the
numa map data.
Default system policy should not require additional ref counting, nor
should the current task's task policy. However, show_numa_map() calls
get_vma_policy() to examine what may be [likely is] another task's policy.
The latter case needs protection against freeing of the policy.
This patch adds a reference count to a mempolicy returned by
get_vma_policy() when the policy is a vma policy or another task's
mempolicy. Again, shared policy is already reference counted on lookup. A
matching "unref" [__mpol_free()] is performed in alloc_page_vma() for
shared and vma policies, and in show_numa_map() for shared and another
task's mempolicy. We can call __mpol_free() directly, saving an admittedly
inexpensive inline NULL test, because we know we have a non-NULL policy.
Handling policy ref counts for hugepages is a bit trickier.
huge_zonelist() returns a zone list that might come from a shared or vma
'BIND policy. In this case, we should hold the reference until after the
huge page allocation in dequeue_hugepage(). The patch modifies
huge_zonelist() to return a pointer to the mempolicy if it needs to be
unref'd after allocation.

It turned out, that the user namespace is released during the do_exit() in
exit_task_namespaces(), but the struct user_struct is released only during the
put_task_struct(), i.e. MUCH later.
On debug kernels with poisoned slabs this will cause the oops in
uid_hash_remove() because the head of the chain, which resides inside the
struct user_namespace, will be already freed and poisoned.
Since the uid hash itself is required only when someone can search it, i.e.
when the namespace is alive, we can safely unhash all the user_struct-s from
it during the namespace exiting. The subsequent free_uid() will complete the
user_struct destruction.
For example simple program
#include <sched.h>
char stack[2 * 1024 * 1024];
int f(void *foo)
{
return 0;
}
int main(void)
{
clone(f, stack + 1 * 1024 * 1024, 0x10000000, 0);
return 0;
}
run on kernel with CONFIG_USER_NS turned on will oops the
kernel immediately.
This was spotted during OpenVZ kernel testing.

The do_split() function for htree dir blocks is intended to split a leaf
block to make room for a new entry. It sorts the entries in the original
block by hash value, then moves the last half of the entries to the new
block - without accounting for how much space this actually moves. (IOW,
it moves half of the entry *count* not half of the entry *space*). If by
chance we have both large & small entries, and we move only the smallest
entries, and we have a large new entry to insert, we may not have created
enough space for it.
The patch below stores each record size when calculating the dx_map, and
then walks the hash-sorted dx_map, calculating how many entries must be
moved to more evenly split the existing entries between the old block and
the new block, guaranteeing enough space for the new entry.
The dx_map "offs" member is reduced to u16 so that the overall map size
does not change - it is temporarily stored at the end of the new block, and
if it grows too large it may be overwritten. By making offs and size both
u16, we won't grow the map size.
Also add a few comments to the functions involved.
This fixes the testcase reported by hooanon05@yahoo.co.jp on the
linux-ext4 list, "ext3 dir_index causes an error"

The shrinking of a virtual memory area that is mmap(2)'d to a memory
special file (device drivers/char/mspec.c) can cause a panic.
If the mapped size of the vma (vm_area_struct) is very large, mspec allocates
a large vma_data structure with vmalloc(). But such a vma can be shrunk by
an munmap(2). The current driver uses the current size of each vma to
deduce whether its vma_data structure was allocated by kmalloc() or vmalloc().
So if the vma was shrunk it appears to have been allocated by kmalloc(),
and mspec attempts to free it with kfree(). This results in a panic.
This patch avoids the panic (by preserving the type of the allocation) and
also makes mspec work correctly as the vma is split into pieces by the
munmap(2)'s.
All vma's derived from such a split vma share the same vma_data structure that
represents all the pages mapped into this set of vma's. The mpec driver
must be made capable of using the right portion of the structure for each
member vma. In other words, it must index into the array of page addresses
using the portion of the array that represents the current vma. This is
enabled by storing the vma group's vm_start in the vma_data structure.
The shared vma_data's are not protected by mm->mmap_sem in the fork() case
so the reference count is left as atomic_t.

Currently the rtc driver, rtc-ds1552.c uses an unsigned long to store the
base mmio address of the NVRAM/RTC. This breaks on 32-bit systems with
larger physical addresses.

Currently the rtc driver, rtc-ds1742.c uses an unsigned long to store the
base mmio address of the NVRAM/RTC. This breaks on systems like PowerPC
440, which is a 32-bit core with 36-bit physical addresses: IO on the
system, including the RTC, is typically above the 4GB point, and cannot fit
into an unsigned long.
This patch fixes the problem by replacing the unsigned long with a
resource_size_t. Tested on Ebony (PPC440) (with additional patches to
instantiate the ds1742 platform device appropriately).

struct utsname is copied from master one without any exclusion.
Here is sample output from one proggie doing
sethostname("aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa");
sethostname("bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb");
and another
clone(,, CLONE_NEWUTS, ...)
uname()
hostname = 'aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaabbbbb'
hostname = 'bbbaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa'
hostname = 'aaaaaaaabbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb'
hostname = 'aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaabbbb'
hostname = 'aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaabb'
hostname = 'aaabbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb'
hostname = 'bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbaaaaaaaaaaaaaa'
Hostname is sometimes corrupted.
Yes, even _the_ simplest namespace activity had bug in it. :-(

Commit 831441862956fffa17b9801db37e6ea1650b0f69 (Freezer: make kernel
threads nonfreezable by default) breaks freezing when attempting to resume
from an initrd, because the init (which is freezeable) spins while waiting
for another thread to run /linuxrc, but doesn't check whether it has been
told to enter the refrigerator. The original patch replaced a call to
try_to_freeze() with a call to yield(). I believe a simple reversion is
wrong because if !CONFIG_PM_SLEEP, try_to_freeze() is a noop. It should
still yield.

I found a type mismatch in UML that makes host block devices unusable as ubd
devices on x86_64 and other 64 bits systems (segfault of the mm subsystem):
In block/ioctl.c, the following lines show that the BLKGETSIZE ioctl expects
a pointer to a long:
case BLKGETSIZE:
if ((bdev->bd_inode->i_size >> 9) > ~0UL)
return -EFBIG;
return put_ulong(arg, bdev->bd_inode->i_size >> 9);
In arch/um/os-Linux/file.c, os_file_size calls it with an int.
The ioctl_list man page should be fixed as well.

Recent changes to the timekeeping code broke support for the PowerPC 601
processor which doesn't have the usual timebase facility but a slightly
different thing called (yuck) the RTC.
This fixes it, boot tested on an old 601 based PowerMac 7200.
