Some msrs, such as MSR_STAR, are not available on all processors. Exporting
them causes qemu to try to fetch them, which will fail.
So, check all msrs for validity at module load time.

The recent io scheduler allow_merge commit left the block layer with

truncate presently invalidates the dirty page's buffer_heads then shoots down
the page. But try_to_free_buffers() will now bale out because the page is
dirty.
Net effect: the LRU gets filled with dirty pages which have invalidated
buffer_heads attached. They have no ->mapping and hence cannot be cleaned.
The machine leaks memory at an enormous rate.
Fix this by cleaning the page before running try_to_free_buffers(), so
try_to_free_buffers() can do its work.
Also, remember to do dirty-page-acoounting in cancel_dirty_page() so the
machine won't wedge up trying to write non-existent dirty pages.
Probably still wrong, but now less so.

XFS appears to call clear_page_dirty to get the mapping tree dirty tag
set correctly at the same time the page dirty flag is cleared. I note
that this can be done by set_page_writeback() if we clear the dirty flag
on the page first when we are writing back the entire page.
Hence it seems to me that the XFS call to clear_page_dirty() could
easily be substituted by clear_page_dirty_for_io() followed by a call to
set_page_writeback() to get the mapping tree tags set correctly after
the page has been marked clean.

The use by FUSE was just a remnant of an optimization from the time
when writable mappings were supported.
Now FUSE never actually allows the creation of dirty pages, so this
invocation of clear_page_dirty() is effectively a no-op.

This patch removes some questionable code that attempted to make a
no-longer-used page easier to reclaim.
Calling metapage_writepage against such a page will not result in any
I/O being performed, so removing this code shouldn't be a big deal.
[ It's likely that we could have just replaced the "clear_page_dirty()"
call with a call to "cancel_dirty_page()" instead, but in the
meantime this is cleaner and simpler anyway, so unless there is some
overriding reason (and Dave implies there isn't) I'll just use this
patch as-is. - Linus ]

They were horribly easy to mis-use because of their tempting naming, and
they also did way more than any users of them generally wanted them to
do.
A dirty page can become clean under two circumstances:
(a) when we write it out. We have "clear_page_dirty_for_io()" for
this, and that function remains unchanged.
In the "for IO" case it is not sufficient to just clear the dirty
bit, you also have to mark the page as being under writeback etc.
(b) when we actually remove a page due to it becoming inaccessible to
users, notably because it was truncate()'d away or the file (or
metadata) no longer exists, and we thus want to cancel any
outstanding dirty state.
For the (b) case, we now introduce "cancel_dirty_page()", which only
touches the page state itself, and verifies that the page is not mapped
(since cancelling writes on a mapped page would be actively wrong as it
is still accessible to users).
Some filesystems need to be fixed up for this: CIFS, FUSE, JFS,
ReiserFS, XFS all use the old confusing functions, and will be fixed
separately in subsequent commits (with some of them just removing the
offending logic, and others using clear_page_dirty_for_io()).
This was confirmed by Martin Michlmayr to fix the apt database
corruption on ARM.

Problem:
sched_fork() has always called scheduler_tick() in some (unlikely)
circumstances in order to update the current task in light of those
circumstances. It has always been the case that the work done by
scheduler_tick() was more than was required to handle the problem in
hand but no harm was done except for the waste of a few CPU cycles.
However, the splitting of scheduler_tick() into two procedures in
2.6.20-rc1 enables the wasted cycles to be saved as the new procedure
task_running_tick() does all the work that is required to rectify the
problem being handled.
Solution:
Replace the call to scheduler_tick() in sched_fork() with a call to
task_running_tick().

if CONFIG_CALGARY_IOMMU is built into the kernel via
CONFIG_CALGARY_IOMMU_ENABLED_BY_DEFAULT, or is enabled via the
iommu=calgary boot option, then the detect_calgary() function runs to
detect the presence of a Calgary IOMMU.
detect_calgary() first searches the BIOS EBDA area for a "rio_table_hdr"
BIOS table. It has this parsing algorithm for the EBDA:
while (offset) {
...
/* The next offset is stored in the 1st word. 0 means no more */
offset = *((unsigned short *)(ptr + offset));
}
got that? Lets repeat it slowly: we've got a BIOS-supplied data
structure, plus Linux kernel code that will only break out of an
infinite parsing loop once the BIOS gives a zero offset. Ok?
Translation: what an excellent opportunity for BIOS writers to lock up
the Linux boot process in an utterly hard to debug place! Indeed the
BIOS jumped on that opportunity on my box, which has the following EBDA
chaining layout:
384, 65282, 65535, 65535, 65535, 65535, 65535, 65535 ...
see the pattern? So my, definitely non-Calgary system happily locks up
in detect_calgary()!
the patch below fixes the boot hang by trusting the BIOS-supplied data
structure a bit less: the parser always has to make forward progress,
and if it doesnt, we break out of the loop and i get the expected kernel
message:
Calgary: Unable to locate Rio Grande Table in EBDA - bailing!

one of my boxes didnt boot the 2.6.20-rc1-rt0 kernel rpm, it hung during
early bootup. After an hour or two of happy debugging i narrowed it down
to the CALGARY_IOMMU_ENABLED_BY_DEFAULT option, which was freshly added
to 2.6.20 via the x86_64 tree and /enabled by default/.
commit bff6547bb6a4e82c399d74e7fba78b12d2f162ed claims:
[PATCH] Calgary: allow compiling Calgary in but not using it by default
This patch makes it possible to compile Calgary in but not use it by
default. In this mode, use 'iommu=calgary' to activate it.
but the change does not actually practice it:
config CALGARY_IOMMU_ENABLED_BY_DEFAULT
bool "Should Calgary be enabled by default?"
default y
depends on CALGARY_IOMMU
help
Should Calgary be enabled by default? if you choose 'y', Calgary
will be used (if it exists). If you choose 'n', Calgary will not be
used even if it exists. If you choose 'n' and would like to use
Calgary anyway, pass 'iommu=calgary' on the kernel command line.
If unsure, say Y.
it's both 'default y', and says "If unsure, say Y". Clearly not a typo.
disabling this option makes my box boot again. The patch below fixes the
Kconfig entry. Grumble.

libata depended on SCSI command to have the correct length when
tranlating it into an ATA command. This generally worked for commands
issued by SCSI HLD but user could issue arbitrary broken command using
sg interface.
Also, when building ATAPI command, full command size was always
copied. Because some ATAPI devices needs bytes after CDB cleared, if
upper layer doesn't clear bytes after CDB, such devices will
malfunction. This necessiated recent clear-garbage-after-CDB fix in
sg interfaces. However, scsi_execute() isn't fixed yet and HL-DT-ST
DVD-RAM GSA-H30N malfunctions on initialization commands issued from
SCSI.
This patch makes xlat functions always consider SCSI cmd_len. Each
translation function checks for proper cmd_len and ATAPI translaation
clears bytes after CDB.

'cmd' is used for struct scsi_cmnd.

Leftover inexact backtrace:
This is a false positive as mce.c is unregistering/registering sysfs
interfaces cleanly on hotplug.
kref_put() and conditional decrement of refcnt seems to be the root cause
for this and the patch below resolves the issue for me.

I'm seeing:
`acpiphp_glue_exit' referenced in section `.init.text' of
drivers/built-in.o: defined in discarded section `.exit.text' of
drivers/built-in.o
when trying to compile an IA64 kernel with PCI hotplug enabled.
I suggest this patch:

Since commit 368c73d4f689dae0807d0a2aa74c61fd2b9b075f the kernel will try
to update the non-writeable BAR registers 0..3 of PIIX4 IDE adapters if
pci_assign_unassigned_resources() is used to do full resource assignment of
the bus. This fails because in the PIIX4 these BAR registers have
implicitly assumed values and read back as zero; it used to work because
the kernel used to just write zero to that register the read back value did
match what was written.
The fix is a new resource flag IORESOURCE_PCI_FIXED used to mark a resource
as non-movable. This will also be useful to keep other import system
resources from being moved around - for example system consoles on PCI
busses.

dereferencing a NULL pdev.
pci_get_slot() may return NULL if nothing was found. quirk_nvidia_ck804()
does not check the value returned from pci_get_slot(), so it may end up
causing a NULL pointer deref.
