740ebe4a54 MIPS: TXx9: Fix possible overflow in clock calculations
Addition of -fwrapv option in 2.6.29 discloses possible overflow with
signed arithmetics.  For example, result of "a * 6 / 12" (int a =
400000000) is 200000000 without -fwrapv but -157913941 with -fwrapv.

Change some variable to unsigned to avoid such overflows.

0f18132828 Revert "Ignore madvise(MADV_WILLNEED) for hugetlbfs-backed regions"
This reverts commit a425a638c8.

Now that the previous commit removed the "readpage" actor for hugetlb
files, read-ahead will no longer mess up the mapping, and there's no
longer any reason to treat hugetlbfs mappings specially.

f2deae9d4e Remove implementation of readpage from the hugetlbfs_aops
The core VM assumes the page size used by the address_space in
inode->i_mapping is PAGE_SIZE but hugetlbfs breaks this assumption by
inserting pages into the page cache at offsets the core VM considers
unexpected.

This would not be a problem except that hugetlbfs also provide a
->readpage implementation.  As it exists, the core VM can assume the
base page size is being used, allocate pages on behalf of the
filesystem, insert them into the page cache and call ->readpage to
populate them.  These pages are the wrong size and at the wrong offset
for hugetlbfs causing confusion.

This patch deletes the ->readpage implementation for hugetlbfs on the
grounds the core VM should not be allocating and populating pages on
behalf of hugetlbfs.  There should be no existing users of the
->readpage implementation so it should not cause a regression.

4f005dbe55 ioatdma: fix "ioatdma frees DMA memory with wrong function"
as reported by Alexander Beregalov <a.beregalov@gmail.com>

ioatdma 0000:00:08.0: DMA-API: device driver frees DMA memory with
wrong function [device address=0x000000007f76f800] [size=2000 bytes]
[map
ped as single] [unmapped as page]

The ioatdma driver was unmapping all regions
(either allocated as page or single) using unmap_page.
This patch lets dma driver recognize if unmap_single or unmap_page should be used.
It introduces two new dma control flags:
DMA_COMPL_SRC_UNMAP_SINGLE and DMA_COMPL_DEST_UNMAP_SINGLE.
They should be set to indicate dma driver to do dma-unmapping as single
(first one for the source, tha latter for the destination).
If respective flag is not set, the driver assumes dma-unmapping as page.

34fd5dad46 Remove unreached code in drivers/net/mlx4/en_rx.c
Remove the return after the goto.  We want the goto because it frees
memory as well as returning err.

78f3cdfa2a xtensa: Fix linker script to include .literal sections
Fix resembles implementation from Marc Gauthier and Piet Denaly:

In the Xtensa architecture, assembly generates literals which must always
precede the code (the L32R instruction that loads them only uses negative
PC-relative offsets).  For any *.text section, literals are placed in a
corresponding *.literal section.  The linker script (vmlinux.lds) must
place these in the correct order.  It must also combine them, when the
*.text section can be larger than L32R's 256 kB range.

For example, this doesn't work:  *(.literal) *(.text) because L32R
instructions at the end of .text can't reach the literals.

The linker can solve this if they are combined in parentheses, like this:
       *(.literal .text)
because it is now allowed mix literals in .text to bring them in range.

None of this is done by standard vmlinux.lds.h macros such as TEXT_TEXT
and INIT_TEXT.  To avoid replicating the logic of that header file, we
instead post-process the generated linker script to convert *(xxx.text)
to *(xxx.literal xxx.text) for the following text sections:
       .text .ref.text .*init.text .*exit.text .text.*
using a sed script.  To do this we must override the default rule for
vmlinux.lds (see scripts/Makefile.build and the top-level Makefile)
to insert this extra step.
