The -rc4 release was supposed to be the last -rc, but here goes. The
RCU fixes and the swiotlb changes need an -rc for final testing.

This patch merges types.h into include/asm-powerpc. The only real change is
the removal of the include of linux/config.h from the 32-bit version - it
doesn't appear to be necessary.
This patch has been built on several different 32 and 64-bit platforms,
and booted on mpc8540_ads.

This patches the ppc32 and ppc64 versions of the headers and .c files
with helper functions for manipulating the performance counting
hardware. As a side effect, it removes use of the term "perfmon" from
ppc32, thus avoiding confusion with the unrelated performance counter
interface from HP Labs also called "perfmon".
Built, but not booted, for g5, pSeries, iSeries, and 32-bit Powermac
with both ARCH=powerpc and ARCH=ppc{,64} as appropriate.

This introduces a limit parameter to the core bootmem allocator; The new
parameter indicates that physical memory allocated by the bootmem
allocator should be within the requested limit.
We also introduce alloc_bootmem_low_pages_limit, alloc_bootmem_node_limit,
alloc_bootmem_low_pages_node_limit apis, but alloc_bootmem_low_pages_limit
is the only api used for swiotlb.
The existing alloc_bootmem_low_pages() api could instead have been
changed and made to pass right limit to the core allocator. But that
would make the patch more intrusive for 2.6.14, as other arches use
alloc_bootmem_low_pages(). We may be done that post 2.6.14 as a
cleanup.
With this, swiotlb gets memory within 4G for both x86_64 and ia64
arches.

In drivers/acpi/glue.c the address of an integer is cast to the address of
an unsigned long. This breaks on systems where a long is larger than an
int --- for a start the int can be misaligned; for a second the assignment
through the pointer will overwrite part of the next variable.

I've gotten a report on lkml, of a possible regression in the MGA DRM in
2.6.14-rc4 (since -rc1), I haven't been able to reproduce it here, but I've

wrong, some of these are from DRM CVS, the main fix is the agp enable bit

The PF_NOFREEZE process flag should not be inherited when a thread is
forked. This patch (as585) removes the flag from the child.
This problem is starting to show up more and more as drivers turn to the
kthread API instead of using kernel_thread(). As a result, their kernel
threads are now children of the kthread worker instead of modprobe, and
they inherit the PF_NOFREEZE flag. This can cause problems during system
suspend; the kernel threads are not getting frozen as they ought to be.

The main problem fixes is that in certain situations stopping md arrays may
take longer than you expect, or may require multiple attempts. This would
only happen when resync/recovery is happening.
This patch fixes three vaguely related bugs.
1/ The recent change to use kthreads got the setting of the
process name wrong. This fixes it.
2/ The recent change to use kthreads lost the ability for
md threads to be signalled with SIG_KILL. This restores that.
3/ There is a long standing bug in that if:
- An array needs recovery (onto a hot-spare) and
- The recovery is being blocked because some other array being
recovered shares a physical device and
- The recovery thread is killed with SIG_KILL
Then the recovery will appear to have completed with no IO being
done, which can cause data corruption.
This patch makes sure that incomplete recovery will be treated as
incomplete.
Note that any kernel affected by bug 2 will not suffer the problem of bug
3, as the signal can never be delivered. Thus the current 2.6.14-rc
kernels are not susceptible to data corruption. Note also that if arrays
are shutdown (with "mdadm -S" or "raidstop") then the problem doesn't
occur. It only happens if a SIGKILL is independently delivered as done by
'init' when shutting down.

Changes all spinlocks that can be held during an irq handler to disable
interrupts while the lock is held. Changes spin_[un]lock_irq to use the
irqsave/irqrestore variants for robustness and readability.
In raw1394.c:handle_iso_listen(), don't grab host_info_lock at all -- we're
not accessing host_info_list or host_count, and holding this lock while
trying to tasklet_kill the iso tasklet this can cause an ABBA deadlock if
ohci:dma_rcv_tasklet is running and tries to grab host_info_lock in
raw1394.c:receive_iso. Test program attached reliably deadlocks all SMP
machines I have been able to test without this patch.

hugetlbfs allows truncation of its files (should it?), but hugetlb.c often
forgets that: crashes and misaccounting ensue.
copy_hugetlb_page_range better grab the src page_table_lock since we don't
want to guess what happens if concurrently truncated. unmap_hugepage_range
rss accounting must not assume the full range was mapped. follow_hugetlb_page
must guard with page_table_lock and be prepared to exit early.
Restyle copy_hugetlb_page_range with a for loop like the others there.

Oleg Nesterov reported an SMP deadlock. If there is a running timer
tracking a different process's CPU time clock when the process owning
the timer exits, we deadlock on tasklist_lock in posix_cpu_timer_del via
exit_itimers.
That code was using tasklist_lock to check for a race with __exit_signal
being called on the timer-target task and clearing its ->signal.
However, there is actually no such race. __exit_signal will have called
posix_cpu_timers_exit and posix_cpu_timers_exit_group before it does
that. Those will clear those k_itimer's association with the dying
task, so posix_cpu_timer_del will return early and never reach the code
in question.
In addition, posix_cpu_timer_del called from exit_itimers during execve
or directly from timer_delete in the process owning the timer can race
with an exiting timer-target task to cause a double put on timer-target
task struct. Make sure we always access cpu_timers lists with sighand
lock held.

The hugetlb pages are currently pre-faulted. At the time of mmap of
hugepages, we populate the new PTEs. It is possible that HW has already
cached some of the unused PTEs internally. These stale entries never
get a chance to be purged in existing control flow.
This patch extends the check in page fault code for hugepages. Check if
a faulted address falls with in size for the hugetlb file backing it.
We return VM_FAULT_MINOR for these cases (assuming that the arch
specific page-faulting code purges the stale entry for the archs that
need it).

A few things change for consistency between ppc32 and ppc64:
idle functions return void; *_get_boot_time functions return
unsigned long (i.e. time_t) rather than filling in a struct rtc_time
(since that's useful to the callers and easier for pmac to
generate); *_get_rtc_time and *_set_rtc_time functions take
a struct rtc_time; irq_canonicalize is gone; nvram_sync returns
void.

Reported by: Bob Tracy <rct@gherkin.frus.com>
"...I've got a Toshiba notebook (730XCDT -- Pentium 150MMX) for which
I'm using the Vesa FB driver. When the machine has been idle for some
time and the driver attempts to powerdown the display, rather than the
display going blank, it goes gray with several strange lines. When I
hit the "shift" key or other-wise wake up the display, the old video
state is not fully restored..."
vesafb recently added a blank method which has only 2 states, powerup and
powerdown. The powerdown state is used for all blanking levels, but in his
case, powerdown does not work correctly for higher levels of display
powersaving. Thus, for intermediate power levels, use software blanking,
and use only hardware blanking for an explicit powerdown.

lock_kiocb() was introduced to serialize retrying and cancellation. In the
process of doing so it tried to sleep waiting for KIF_LOCKED while holding
the ctx_lock spinlock. Recent fixes have ensured that multiple concurrent
retries won't be attempted for a given iocb. Cancel has other problems and
has no significant in-tree users that have been complaining about it. So
for the immediate future we'll revert sleeping with the lock held and will
address proper cancellation and retry serialization in the future.
