The "is_exec" branch of the protection check in do_page_fault()
didn't do anything on 32-bit PowerPC. So if a userland program
jumps to a page with Linux protection flags "---p", all the tests
happily fall through, and handle_mm_fault() is called, which in
turn calls handle_pte_fault(), which calls update_mmu_cache(),
which goes flush the dcache to a page with no access rights.
Boom.
This fixes it.

The old snd-powermac driver has some serious refcounting issues when
initialisation fails, which is the case on all new machines with
a layout-id since those are handled by the new snd-aoa driver.
Some of those bugs seem to have been under the radar for some time
(like double pci_dev_put), but one was actually added in 2.6.22 with
Stephen attempt at teaching refcounting to the driver which didn't
do it at all.
This patch fixes both, thus removing all sort of kref errors that
would happen if that driver gets loaded on a G5 machine or a recent
PowerBook due to OF nodes left around with a 0 refcount.

Miklos Szeredi reported very long pauses (several seconds, sometimes
more) on his T60 (with a Core2Duo) which he managed to track down to
wait_task_inactive()'s open-coded busy-loop.
He observed that an interrupt on one core tries to acquire the
runqueue-lock but does not succeed in doing so for a very long time -
while wait_task_inactive() on the other core loops waiting for the first
core to deschedule a task (which it wont do while spinning in an
interrupt handler).
This rewrites wait_task_inactive() to do all its waiting optimistically
without any locks taken at all, and then just double-check the end
result with the proper runqueue lock held over just a very short
section. If there were races in the optimistic wait, of a preemption
event scheduled the process away, we simply re-synchronize, and start
over.
So the code now looks like this:
repeat:
/* Unlocked, optimistic looping! */
rq = task_rq(p);
while (task_running(rq, p))
cpu_relax();
/* Get the *real* values */
rq = task_rq_lock(p, &flags);
running = task_running(rq, p);
array = p->array;
task_rq_unlock(rq, &flags);
/* Check them.. */
if (unlikely(running)) {
cpu_relax();
goto repeat;
}
/* Preempted away? Yield if so.. */
if (unlikely(array)) {
yield();
goto repeat;
}
Basically, that first "while()" loop is done entirely without any
locking at all (and doesn't check for the case where the target process
might have been preempted away), and so it's possibly "incorrect", but
we don't really care. Both the runqueue used, and the "task_running()"
check might be the wrong tests, but they won't oops - they just mean
that we could possibly get the wrong results due to lack of locking and
exit the loop early in the case of a race condition.
So once we've exited the loop, we then get the proper (and careful) rq
lock, and check the running/runnable state _safely_. And if it turns
out that our quick-and-dirty and unsafe loop was wrong after all, we
just go back and try it all again.
(The patch also adds a lot of comments, which is the actual bulk of it
all, to make it more obvious why we can do these things without holding
the locks).
Thanks to Miklos for all the testing and tracking it down.

Gene Heskett reported the following problem while testing CFS: SysRq-N
is not always effective in normalizing tasks back to SCHED_OTHER.
The reason for that turns out to be the following bug:
- normalize_rt_tasks() uses for_each_process() to iterate through all
tasks in the system. The problem is, this method does not iterate
through all tasks, it iterates through all thread groups.
The proper mechanism to enumerate over all threads is to use a
do_each_thread() + while_each_thread() loop.

This reverts commit d0aa7a70bf03b9de9e995ab272293be1f7937822.
It not only introduced user space visible changes to the futex syscall,
it is also non-functional and there is no way to fix it proper before
the 2.6.22 release.
The breakage report ( http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/5/12/17 ) went
unanswered, and unfortunately it turned out that the concept is not
feasible at all. It violates the rtmutex semantics badly by introducing
a virtual owner, which hacks around the coupling of the user-space
pi_futex and the kernel internal rt_mutex representation.
At the moment the only safe option is to remove it fully as it contains
user-space visible changes to broken kernel code, which we do not want
to expose in the 2.6.22 release.
The patch reverts the original patch mostly 1:1, but contains a couple
of trivial manual cleanups which were necessary due to patches, which
touched the same area of code later.
Verified against the glibc tests and my own PI futex tests.

Inline data segments in send WQEs are not allowed to cross a 64 byte
boundary. We use inline data segments to hold the UD headers for MLX
QPs (QP0 and QP1). A send with GRH on QP1 will have a UD header that
is too big to fit in a single inline data segment without crossing a
64 byte boundary, so split the header into two inline data segments.

The calculation of max_inline_data in set_kernel_sq_size() is bogus,
since it doesn't take into account the fact that inline segments may
not cross a 64-byte boundary, and hence multiple inline segments will
probably need to be used to post large inline sends.
We don't support inline sends for kernel QPs anyway, so there's no
point in doing this calculation anyway, since the field is just zeroed
out a little later. So just delete the bogus calculation.

New ConnectX firmware introduces FW command interface revision 2,
which requires that for each QP, a chunk of send queue entries (the
"headroom") is kept marked as invalid, so that the HCA doesn't get
confused if it prefetches entries that haven't been posted yet. Add
code to the driver to do this, and also update the user ABI so that
userspace can request that the prefetcher be turned off for userspace
QPs (we just leave the prefetcher on for all kernel QPs).
Unfortunately, marking send queue entries this way is confuses older
firmware, so we change the driver to allow only FW command interface
revisions 2. This means that users will have to update their firmware
to work with the new driver, but the firmware is changing quickly and
the old firmware has lots of other bugs anyway, so this shouldn't be too
big a deal.
Based on a patch from Jack Morgenstein <jackm@dev.mellanox.co.il>.

Some user space tools need to identify SYSV shared memory when examining
/proc/<pid>/maps. To do so they look for a block device with major zero, a
dentry named SYSV<sysv key>, and having the minor of the internal sysv
shared memory kernel mount.
To help these tools and to make it easier for people just browsing
/proc/<pid>/maps this patch modifies hugetlb sysv shared memory to use the
SYSV<key> dentry naming convention.
User space tools will still have to be aware that hugetlb sysv shared
memory lives on a different internal kernel mount and so has a different
block device minor number from the rest of sysv shared memory.

Here's another breakage as a result of shared memory stacked files :(
The NUMA policy for a VMA is determined by checking the following (in the
order given):
1) vma->vm_ops->get_policy() (if defined)
2) vma->vm_policy (if defined)
3) task->mempolicy (if defined)
4) Fall back to default_policy
By switching to stacked files for shared memory, get_policy() is now always
set to shm_get_policy which is a wrapper function. This causes us to stop
at step 1, which yields NULL for hugetlb instead of task->mempolicy which
was the previous (and correct) result.
This patch modifies the shm_get_policy() wrapper to maintain steps 1-3 for
the wrapped vm_ops.
(akpm: the refcounting of mempolicies is busted and this patch does nothing to
improve it)

We have to take care that when we call udf_discard_prealloc() from
udf_clear_inode() we have to write inode ourselves afterwards (otherwise,
some changes might be lost leading to leakage of blocks, use of free blocks
or improperly aligned extents).
Also udf_discard_prealloc() does two different things - it removes
preallocated blocks and truncates the last extent to exactly match i_size.
We move the latter functionality to udf_truncate_tail_extent(), call
udf_discard_prealloc() when last reference to a file is dropped and call
udf_truncate_tail_extent() when inode is being removed from inode cache
(udf_clear_inode() call).
We cannot call udf_truncate_tail_extent() earlier as subsequent open+write
would find the last block of the file mapped and happily write to the end
of it, although the last extent says it's shorter.

If ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN is set to a value greater than 8 (SLUBs smallest
kmalloc cache) then SLUB may generate duplicate slabs in sysfs (yes again)
because the object size is padded to reach ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN. Thus the
size of the small slabs is all the same.
No arch sets ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN larger than 8 though except mips which
for some reason wants a 128 byte alignment.
This patch increases the size of the smallest cache if
ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN is greater than 8. In that case more and more of the
smallest caches are disabled.
If we do that then the count of the active general caches that is displayed
on boot is not correct anymore since we may skip elements of the kmalloc
array. So count them separately.

Some changes done a while ago to avoid pounding on ptep_set_access_flags and
update_mmu_cache in some race situations break sun4c which requires
update_mmu_cache() to always be called on minor faults.
This patch reworks ptep_set_access_flags() semantics, implementations and
callers so that it's now responsible for returning whether an update is
necessary or not (basically whether the PTE actually changed). This allow
fixing the sparc implementation to always return 1 on sun4c.

Distros seem to be removing PAGE_SIZE from asm/page.h. So, the libc side of
UML should stop using it.
I replace it with UM_KERN_PAGE_SIZE, which is defined to be the same as
PAGE_SIZE on the kernel side of the house. I could also use getpagesize(),
but it's more important that UML have the same value of PAGE_SIZE everywhere.
It's conceivable that it could be built with a larger PAGE_SIZE, and use of
getpagesize() would break that badly.
PAGE_MASK got the same treatment, as it is closely tied to PAGE_SIZE.

Update two points in the SPI interface documentation:
- Update description of the "chip stays selected after message ends"
mode. In some cases it's required for correctness; it isn't just a
performance tweak. (Yes: to use this mode on mult-device busses, another
programming interface will be needed. One draft has been circulated
already.)
- Clarify spi_setup(), highlighting that callers must ensure that no
requests are queued (can't change configuration except between I/Os), and
that the device must be deselected when this returns (which is a key part
of why it's called during device init).

Fix section error (allyesconfig). The exit function is called from init,
so functions that are called by the exit function cannot be marked __exit.
WARNING: drivers/built-in.o(.text+0xe5bc6): Section mismatch: reference to .exit.

The cpuset code to present a list of tasks using a cpuset to user space could
write to an array that it had kmalloc'd, after a kmalloc request of zero size.
The problem was that the code didn't check for writes past the allocated end
of the array until -after- the first write.
This is a race condition that is likely rare -- it would only show up if a
cpuset went from being empty to having a task in it, during the brief time
between the allocation and the first write.
Prior to roughly 2.6.22 kernels, this was also a benign problem, because a
zero kmalloc returned a few usable bytes anyway, and no harm was done with the
bogus write.
With the 2.6.22 kernel changes to make issue a warning if code tries to write
to the location returned from a zero size allocation, this problem is no
longer benign. This cpuset code would occassionally trigger that warning.
The fix is trivial -- check before storing into the array, not after, whether
the array is big enough to hold the store.
