This fixes a problem I encountered while running bonnie++. When you have one
thread that opens a file and starts to write to it, and then another thread that
tries to open and write to the same file, the second thread will loop forever
trying to grab the inode lock for that inode. Basically we come in through
generic_buffered_file_write, which calls gfs2_prepare_write, which then attempts
to grab the glock. Because we don't own the lock, gfs2_prepare_write gets
GLR_TRYFAILED, which returns AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE to generic_buffered_file_write.
At this point generic_buffered_file_write loops around again and immediately
retries the prepare_write. This means that the second process never gets off of
the processor in order to allow the process that holds the lock to finish its
work and let go of the lock. This patch makes gfs2_glock_nq schedule() if it
gets back a GLR_TRYFAILED, which resolves this problem.

check_tsc_sync_source() depends on being called with irqs disabled (it
checks whether the TSC is coherent across two specific CPUs). This is
incidentally true during bootup, but not during cpu hotplug __cpu_up().
This got found via smp_processor_id() debugging.
disable irqs explicitly and remove the unconditional enabling of
interrupts. Add touch_nmi_watchdog() to the cpu_online_map busy loop.
this bug is present both on i386 and on x86_64.

Added dma_sync_single_range_for_cpu/device to dma-mapping.h in asm-avr32 to
call dma_sync_single_for_cpu/device. This patch enables b44 to compile on
systems with these cpus. This patch was created with the assumption that
another method of dma_sync_single_range_for_cpu/device does not exist on these
architectures.

Terminate the frame pointer walk if (a) the address is outside the
task's kernel stack or (b) if the frame pointer isn't monotonically
increasing. Without this fix, show_trace() may enter an infinite
loop, walking through random data anywhere in memory.
Since any address within the kernel stack is guaranteed to be valid,
we may eliminate the __get_user() calls as well.

on a constant"
This reverts commit 39d61db0edb34d60b83c5e0d62d0e906578cc707.
The commit was buggy in multiple ways:
- the conversion to ilog2() was incorrect to begin with
- it tested the wrong #defines, so on all architectures but FRV you'd
never see the bug except for constant arguments.
- the new "get_order()" macro used its arguments multiple times, and
didn't even parenthesize them properly
- despite the comments, it was not true that you could use it for
constant initializers, since not all architectures even use the
generic page.h header file.
All of the problems are individually fixable, but it all boils down to:
better just revert it, and re-do it from scratch.

Based on a patch from Don Howard <dhoward@redhat.com>
When calling write() with a buffer larger than 512 bytes, the
driver's write buffer overflows, allowing to overwrite the EIP and
execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges.
In read(), there exists a similar problem, but coming from the device.
A malicous or buggy device sending more than 512 bytes can overflow
of the driver's read buffer, with the same effects as above.

Suspend deadlocks when trying to unregister /sys/block/sr0.
This comes from Oliver's commit 94bebf4d1b8e7719f0f3944c037a21cfd99a4af7
"Driver core: fix race in sysfs between sysfs_remove_file() and
read()/write()".
sysfs_write_file downs buffer->sem while calling flush_write_buffer, and
flushing that particular write buffer entails downing buffer->sem in
orphan_all_buffers, resulting in the obvious self-deadlock.

The address where the ELF core header is stored is passed to the secondary
kernel as a kernel command line option. The memory area for this header is
also marked as a separate EFI memory descriptor on ia64.
The separate EFI memory descriptor is at the moment of the type
EFI_UNUSABLE_MEMORY. With such a type the secondary kernel skips over the
entire memory granule (config option, 16M or 64M) when detecting memory.
If we are lucky we will just lose some memory, but if we happen to have
data in the same granule (such as an initramfs image), then this data will
never get mapped and the kernel bombs out when trying to access it.
So this is an attempt to fix this by changing the EFI memory descriptor
type into EFI_LOADER_DATA. This type is the same type used for the kernel
data and for initramfs. In the secondary kernel we then handle the ELF
core header data the same way as we handle the initramfs image.
This patch contains the kernel changes to make this happen. Pretty
straightforward, we reserve the area in reserve_memory(). The address for
the area comes from the kernel command line and the size comes from the
specialized EFI parsing function vmcore_find_descriptor_size().
The kexec-tools-testing code for this can be found here:

Perfmon associates vmalloc()ed memory with a file descriptor, and installs
a vma mapping that memory. Unfortunately, the vm_file field is not filled
in, so processes with mappings to that memory do not prevent the file from
being closed and the memory freed. This results in use-after-free bugs and
multiple freeing of pages, etc.
I saw this bug on an Altix on SLES9. Haven't reproduced upstream but it
looks like the same issue is there.
