5ba6d3febd [ARM] Move syscall saving out of the way of utrace
utrace removes the ptrace_message field in task_struct.  Move our use
of this field into a new member in thread_info called "syscall"

4043579252 [ARM] 4227/1: minor head.S fixups
Let's surround constructs like:

	orr	r3, r3, #(KERNEL_RAM_PADDR & 0x00f00000)

between .if .endif since (KERNEL_RAM_PADDR & 0x00f00000) is 0 in 99% of
all cases.

Also let's mask PHYS_OFFSET with 0x00f00000 instead of 0x00e00000.
Section mappings are really 1MB not 2MB and the 2MB groupping is
a higher level issue already much better enforced with

#if (PHYS_OFFSET & 0x001fffff)
#error "PHYS_OFFSET must be at an even 2MiB boundary!"
#endif

at the top of the file.

1d51c69fb6 [SPARC]: avoid CHILD_MAX and OPEN_MAX constants
I don't figure anyone really cares about SunOS syscall emulation, and I
certainly don't.  But I'm getting rid of uses of the OPEN_MAX and CHILD_MAX
compile-time constant, and these are almost the only ones.  OPEN_MAX is a
bogus constant with no meaning about anything.  The RLIMIT_NOFILE resource
limit is what sysconf (_SC_OPEN_MAX) actually wants to return.

The CHILD_MAX cases weren't actually using anything I want to get rid of,
but I noticed that they are there and are wrong too.  The CHILD_MAX value
is not really unlimited as a -1 return from sysconf indicates.  The
RLIMIT_NPROC resource limit is what sysconf (_SC_CHILD_MAX) wants to return.

2f3a2efd85 [SPARC64]: Fix SBUS IOMMU allocation code.
There are several IOMMU allocator bugs.  Instead of trying to fix this
overly complicated code, just mirror the PCI IOMMU arena allocator
which is very stable and well stress tested.

I tried to make the code as identical as possible so we can switch
sun4u PCI and SBUS over to a common piece of IOMMU code.  All that
will be need are two callbacks, one to do a full IOMMU flush and one
to do a streaming buffer flush.

This patch gets rid of a lot of hangs and mysterious crashes on SBUS
sparc64 systems, at least for me.

49f1971051 [PATCH] Proper fix for highmem kmap_atomic functions for VMI for 2.6.21
Since lazy MMU batching mode still allows interrupts to enter, it is
possible for interrupt handlers to try to use kmap_atomic, which fails when
lazy mode is active, since the PTE update to highmem will be delayed.  The
best workaround is to issue an explicit flush in kmap_atomic_functions
case; this is the only way nested PTE updates can happen in the interrupt
handler.

Thanks to Jeremy Fitzhardinge for noting the bug and suggestions on a fix.

differently.

b6a8b316c6 [PATCH] i386: fix file_read_actor() and pipe_read() for original i386 systems
The __copy_to_user_inatomic() calls in file_read_actor() and pipe_read()
are broken on original i386 machines, where WP-works-ok == false, as
__copy_to_user_inatomic() on such systems calls functions which might
sleep and/or contain cond_resched() calls inside of a kmap_atomic()
region.

The original check for WP-works-ok was in access_ok(), but got moved
during the 2.5 series to fix a race vs. swap.

Return the number of bytes to copy in the case where we are in an atomic
region, so the non atomic code pathes in file_read_actor() and
pipe_read() are taken.

This could be optimized to avoid the kmap_atomicby moving the check for
WP-works-ok into fault_in_pages_writeable(), but this is more intrusive
and can be done later.

Fix the regression resulting from the recent change of suspend code
ordering that causes systems based on Intel x86 CPUs using the microcode
driver to hang during the resume.

The problem occurs since the microcode driver uses request_firmware() in
its CPU hotplug notifier, which is called after tasks has been frozen and
hangs.  It can be fixed by telling the microcode driver to use the
microcode stored in memory during the resume instead of trying to load it
from disk.

Currently we have a confused udelay implementation.

* __const_udelay does not accept usecs but xloops in i386 and x86_64
* our implementation requires usecs as arg
* it gets a xloops count when called by asm/arch/delay.h

Bugs related to this (extremely long shutdown times) where reported by some
x86_64 users, especially using Device Mapper.

To hit this bug, a compile-time constant time parameter must be passed -
that's why UML seems to work most times.  Fix this with a simple udelay
implementation.

a369a7100d [PATCH] x86: Don't probe for DDC on VBE1.2
VBE1.2 doesn't support function 15h (DDC) resulting in a 'hang' whilst
uncompressing kernel with some video cards. Make sure we check VBE version
before fiddling around with DDC.

Much thanks to Tobias Hain for help in testing and investigating the bug.
Tested on;

i386, Chips & Technologies 65548 VESA VBE 1.2
CONFIG_VIDEO_SELECT=Y
CONFIG_FIRMWARE_EDID=Y

Untested on x86_64.

89e07569e4 [PATCH] x86-64: Let oprofile reserve MSR on all CPUs
The MSR reservation is per CPU and oprofile would only allocate them
on the CPU it was initialized on. Change this to handle all CPUs.

This also fixes a warning about unprotected use of smp_processor_id()
in preemptible kernels.
