4db42c51ce toshiba_acpi: Enable autoloading
This adds aliases to enable autoloading of toishiba_acpi.  Two aliases are
defined - TOS6200 (for \\_SB_.VALD.GHCI) and TSO1900 (for \\_SB_.VALZ.GHCI).
This allows toishiba_acpi to be autoloaded on systems that provide those
devices.

2c81ce4c9c ACPI: EC: Handle IRQ storm on Acer laptops
On some Acer systems, the HW fails to clear the GPE source,
causing an interrupt storm.

So in EC interrupt mode, we count how many interrupts we
receive when waiting.  If we get more than 5, we give
up on interrupt mode and revert to polling mode.

Also, for polling mode to work on Acers, we need
to insert a delay.

985a34bd75 x86: remove quicklists
quicklists cause a serious memory leak on 32-bit x86,
as documented at:

  http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9991

the reason is that the quicklist pool is a special-purpose
cache that grows out of proportion. It is not accounted for
anywhere and users have no way to even realize that it's
the quicklists that are causing RAM usage spikes. It was
supposed to be a relatively small pool, but as demonstrated
by KOSAKI Motohiro, they can grow as large as:

  Quicklists:    1194304 kB

given how much trouble this code has caused historically,
and given that Andrew objected to its introduction on x86
(years ago), the best option at this point is to remove them.

[ any performance benefits of caching constructed pgds should
  be implemented in a more generic way (possibly within the page
  allocator), while still allowing constructed pages to be
  allocated by other workloads. ]

40f0933d51 x86: ia32 syscall restart fix
The code to restart syscalls after signals depends on checking for a
negative orig_ax, and for particular negative -ERESTART* values in ax.
These fields are 64 bits and for a 32-bit task they get zero-extended.
The syscall restart behavior is lost, a regression from a native 32-bit
kernel and from 64-bit tasks' behavior.

This patch fixes the problem by doing sign-extension where it matters.

For orig_ax, the only time the value should be -1 but winds up as
0x0ffffffff is via a 32-bit ptrace call. So the patch changes ptrace to
sign-extend the 32-bit orig_eax value when it's stored; it doesn't
change the checks on orig_ax, though it uses the new current_syscall()
inline to better document the subtle importance of the used of
signedness there.

The ax value is stored a lot of ways and it seems hard to get them all
sign-extended at their origins. So for that, we use the
current_syscall_ret() to sign-extend it only for 32-bit tasks at the
time of the -ERESTART* comparisons.

08f503b0c0 keep rd->online and cpu_online_map in sync
It is possible to allow the root-domain cache of online cpus to
become out of sync with the global cpu_online_map.  This is because we
currently trigger removal of cpus too early in the notifier chain.
Other DOWN_PREPARE handlers may in fact run and reconfigure the
root-domain topology, thereby stomping on our own offline handling.

The end result is that rd->online may become out of sync with
cpu_online_map, which results in potential task misrouting.

So change the offline handling to be more tightly coupled with the
global offline process by triggering on CPU_DYING intead of
CPU_DOWN_PREPARE.

cm_work_handler() can access cm_id_priv after it drops its reference
by calling iwch_deref_id(), which might cause it to be freed.  The fix

the reference.  Then if it was set, free the cm_id on this thread.

c368392a99 [POWERPC] spufs: fix rescheduling of non-runnable contexts
At present, we can hit the BUG_ON in __spu_update_sched_info by reading
the regs file of a context between two calls to spu_run. The
spu_release_saved called by spufs_regs_read() is resulting in the (now
non-runnable) context being placed back on the run queue, so the next
call to spu_run ends up in the bug condition.

This change uses the SPU_SCHED_SPU_RUN flag to only reschedule a context
if it's still in spu_run().

f5dbb55b99 fix BIOS PCI config cycle buglet causing ACPI boot regression
I figured out another ACPI related regression today.

randconfig testing triggered an early boot-time hang on a laptop of mine
(32-bit x86, config attached) - the screen was scrolling ACPI AML
exceptions [with no serial port and no early debugging available].

v2.6.24 works fine on that laptop with the same .config, so after a few
hours of bisection (had to restart it 3 times - other regressions
interacted), it honed in on this commit:

|     acpi: fix acpi_os_read_pci_configuration() misuse of raw_pci_read()

reverting this commit ontop of -rc5 gave a correctly booting kernel.

But this commit fixes a real bug so the real question is, why did it
break the bootup?

After quite some head-scratching, the following change stood out:

-                               pci_id->bus = tu8;
+                               pci_id->bus = val;

pci_id->bus is defined as u16:

   struct acpi_pci_id {
           u16 segment;
           u16 bus;
   ...

and 'tu8' changed from u8 to u32. So previously we'd unconditionally
mask the return value of acpi_os_read_pci_configuration()
(raw_pci_read()) to 8 bits, but now we just trust whatever comes back
from the PCI access routines and only crop it to 16 bits.

But if the high 8 bits of that result contains any noise then we'll
write that into ACPI's PCI ID descriptor and confuse the heck out of the
rest of ACPI.

So lets check the PCI-BIOS code on that theory. We have this codepath
for 8-bit accesses (arch/x86/pci/pcbios.c:pci_bios_read()):

        switch (len) {
        case 1:
                __asm__("lcall *(%%esi); cld\n\t"
                        "jc 1f\n\t"
                        "xor %%ah, %%ah\n"
                        "1:"
                        : "=c" (*value),
                          "=a" (result)
                        : "1" (PCIBIOS_READ_CONFIG_BYTE),
                          "b" (bx),
                          "D" ((long)reg),
                          "S" (&pci_indirect));

Aha! The "=a" output constraint puts the full 32 bits of EAX into
*value. But if the BIOS's routines set any of the high bits to nonzero,
we'll return a value with more set in it than intended.

The other, more common PCI access methods (v1 and v2 PCI reads) clear
out the high bits already, for example pci_conf1_read() does:

        switch (len) {
        case 1:
                *value = inb(0xCFC + (reg & 3));

which explicitly converts the return byte up to 32 bits and zero-extends
it.

So zero-extending the result in the PCI-BIOS read routine fixes the
regression on my laptop. ( It might fix some other long-standing issues
we had with PCI-BIOS during the past decade ... ) Both 8-bit and 16-bit
accesses were buggy.

terminate at the end of the iovec array.  Fix this by checking against
i->count before we skip a zero-length iov.

The bug was reproduced with a test program that continually randomly creates
iovs to writev.  The fix was also verified with the same program and also it
could verify that the correct data was contained in the file after each
writev.

21bbb39c37 rcu: move PREEMPT_RCU config option back under PREEMPT
The original preemptible-RCU patch put the choice between classic and
preemptible RCU into kernel/Kconfig.preempt, which resulted in build failures
on machines not supporting CONFIG_PREEMPT.  This choice was therefore moved to
init/Kconfig, which worked, but placed the choice between classic and
preemptible RCU at the top level, a very obtuse choice indeed.

This patch changes from the Kconfig "choice" mechanism to a pair of booleans,
only one of which (CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU) is user-visible, and is located in
kernel/Kconfig.preempt, where one would expect it to be.  The other
(CONFIG_CLASSIC_RCU) is in init/Kconfig so that it is available to all
architectures, hopefully avoiding build breakage.  Thanks to Roman Zippel for
suggesting this approach.

e24e2e64c4 modules: warn about suspicious return values from module's ->init() hook
Return value convention of module's init functions is 0/-E.  Sometimes,
e.g.  during forward-porting mistakes happen and buggy module created,
where result of comparison "workqueue != NULL" is propagated all the way up
to sys_init_module.  What happens is that some other module created
workqueue in question, our module created it again and module was
successfully loaded.

Or it could be some other bug.

Let's make such mistakes much more visible.  In retrospective, such
messages would noticeably shorten some of my head-scratching sessions.

Note, that dump_stack() is just a way to get attention from user.  Sample
message:

sys_init_module: 'foo'->init suspiciously returned 1, it should follow 0/-E convention
sys_init_module: loading module anyway...
Pid: 4223, comm: modprobe Not tainted 2.6.24-25f666300625d894ebe04bac2b4b3aadb907c861 #5

6c5db22d28 modules: fix module waiting for dependent modules' init
Commit c9a3ba55 (module: wait for dependent modules doing init.) didn't quite
work because the waiter holds the module lock, meaning that the state of the
module it's waiting for cannot change.

Fortunately, it's fairly simple to update the state outside the lock and do
the wakeup.

Thanks to Jan Glauber for tracking this down and testing (qdio and qeth).

2668db9111 hugetlb: correct page count for surplus huge pages
Free pages in the hugetlb pool are free and as such have a reference count of
zero.  Regular allocations into the pool from the buddy are "freed" into the
pool which results in their page_count dropping to zero.  However, surplus
pages can be directly utilized by the caller without first being freed to the
pool.  Therefore, a call to put_page_testzero() is in order so that such a
page will be handed to the caller with a correct count.

This has not affected end users because the bad page count is reset before the
page is handed off.  However, under CONFIG_DEBUG_VM this triggers a BUG when
the page count is validated.

Thanks go to Mel for first spotting this issue and providing an initial fix.

7be3dfec47 md: reduce CPU wastage on idle md array with a write-intent bitmap
Recent patch titled
  Reduce CPU wastage on idle md array with a write-intent bitmap.

would sometimes leave the array with dirty bitmap bits that stay dirty.  A
subsequent write would sort things out so it isn't a big problem, but should
be fixed nonetheless.

We need to make sure that when the bitmap becomes not "allclean", the
daemon_sleep really does get set to a sensible value.

52720ae77d md: fix formatting error in /proc/mdstat
If an md array is "auto-read-only", then this appears in /proc/mdstat as

   /dev/md0: active(auto-read-only)

whereas if it is truely readonly, it appears as

   /dev/md0: active (read-only)

The difference being a space.

One program known to parse this file expects the space and gets badly
confused.  It will be fixed, but it would be best if what the kernel generates
is more consistent too.

69682d852f mempolicy: fix reference counting bugs
Address 3 known bugs in the current memory policy reference counting method.
I have a series of patches to rework the reference counting to reduce overhead
in the allocation path.  However, that series will require testing in -mm once
I repost it.

1) alloc_page_vma() does not release the extra reference taken for
   vma/shared mempolicy when the mode == MPOL_INTERLEAVE.  This can result in
   leaking mempolicy structures.  This is probably occurring, but not being
   noticed.

   Fix:  add the conditional release of the reference.

2) hugezonelist unconditionally releases a reference on the mempolicy when
   mode == MPOL_INTERLEAVE.  This can result in decrementing the reference
   count for system default policy [should have no ill effect] or premature
   freeing of task policy.  If this occurred, the next allocation using task
   mempolicy would use the freed structure and probably BUG out.

   Fix:  add the necessary check to the release.

3) The current reference counting method assumes that vma 'get_policy()'
   methods automatically add an extra reference a non-NULL returned mempolicy.
    This is true for shmem_get_policy() used by tmpfs mappings, including
   regular page shm segments.  However, SHM_HUGETLB shm's, backed by
   hugetlbfs, just use the vma policy without the extra reference.  This
   results in freeing of the vma policy on the first allocation, with reuse of
   the freed mempolicy structure on subsequent allocations.

   Fix: Rather than add another condition to the conditional reference
   release, which occur in the allocation path, just add a reference when
   returning the vma policy in shm_get_policy() to match the assumptions.
