The reasons for disabling paccept() are as follows:
* The API is more complex than needed. There is AFAICS no demonstrated
use case that the sigset argument of this syscall serves that couldn't
equally be served by the use of pselect/ppoll/epoll_pwait + traditional
accept(). Roland seems to concur with this opinion
(http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/723953/focus=732255). I
have (more than once) asked Ulrich to explain otherwise
(http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/723952/focus=731018), but he
does not respond, so one is left to assume that he doesn't know of such
a case.
* The use of a sigset argument is not consistent with other I/O APIs
that can block on a single file descriptor (e.g., read(), recv(),
connect()).
* The behavior of paccept() when interrupted by a signal is IMO strange:
the kernel restarts the system call if SA_RESTART was set for the
handler. I think that it should not do this -- that it should behave
consistently with paccept()/ppoll()/epoll_pwait(), which never restart,
regardless of SA_RESTART. The reasoning here is that the very purpose
of paccept() is to wait for a connection or a signal, and that
restarting in the latter case is probably never useful. (Note: Roland
disagrees on this point, believing that rather paccept() should be
consistent with accept() in its behavior wrt EINTR
(http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/723953/focus=732255).)
I believe that instead, a simpler API, consistent with Ulrich's other
recent additions, is preferable:
accept4(int fd, struct sockaddr *sa, socklen_t *salen, ind flags);
(This simpler API was originally proposed by Ulrich:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/92072)
If this simpler API is added, then if we later decide that the sigset
argument really is required, then a suitable bit in 'flags' could be added
to indicate the presence of the sigset argument.
At this point, I am hoping we either will get a counter-argument from
Ulrich about why we really do need paccept()'s sigset argument, or that he
will resubmit the original accept4() patch.

A segmentation fault can occur in kimage_add_entry in kexec.c when loading
a kernel image into memory. The fault occurs because a page is requested
by calling kimage_alloc_page with gfp_mask GFP_KERNEL and the function may
actually return a page with gfp_mask GFP_HIGHUSER. The high mem page is
returned because it was swapped with the kernel page due to the kernel
page being a page that will shortly be copied to.
This patch ensures that kimage_alloc_page returns a page that was created
with the correct gfp flags.

Impact: timer hang on CPU online observed on AMD C1E systems
When a CPU is brought online then the broadcast machinery can
be in the one shot state already. Check this and setup the timer
device of the new CPU in one shot mode so the broadcast code
can pick up the next_event value correctly.
Another AMD C1E oddity, as we switch to broadcast immediately and

Impact: Possible hang on CPU online observed on AMD C1E machines.
The broadcast setup code looks at the mode of the tick device to
determine whether it needs to be shut down or setup. This is wrong
when the broadcast mode is set to one shot already. This can happen
when a CPU is brought online as it goes through the periodic setup
first.
The problem went unnoticed as sane systems do not call into that code
before the switch to one shot for the clock event device happens.
The AMD C1E idle routine switches over immediately and thereby shuts
down the just setup device before the first interrupt happens.

Impact: hang which happens across CPU offline/online on AMD C1E systems.
When a CPU goes offline then the corresponding bit in the broadcast
mask is cleared. For AMD C1E enabled CPUs we do not reenable the
broadcast when the CPU comes online again as we do not clear the
corresponding bit in the c1e_mask, which keeps track which CPUs
have been switched to broadcast already. So on those !$@#& machines
we never switch back to broadcasting after a CPU offline/online cycle.
Clear the bit when the CPU plays dead.

Impact: rare hang which can be triggered on CPU online.
tick_do_timer_cpu keeps track of the CPU which updates jiffies
via do_timer. The value -1 is used to signal, that currently no
CPU is doing this. There are two cases, where the variable can
have this state:
boot:
necessary for systems where the boot cpu id can be != 0
nohz long idle sleep:
When the CPU which did the jiffies update last goes into
a long idle sleep it drops the update jiffies duty so
another CPU which is not idle can pick it up and keep
jiffies going.
Using the same value for both situations is wrong, as the CPU online
code can see the -1 state when the timer of the newly onlined CPU is
setup. The setup for a newly onlined CPU goes through periodic mode
and can pick up the do_timer duty without being aware of the nohz /
highres mode of the already running system.
Use two separate states and make them constants to avoid magic
numbers confusion.

Currently a memory segment in memory map with attribute of EFI_MEMORY_UC
is denoted as "System RAM" in /proc/iomem, while memory of attribute
(EFI_MEMORY_WB|EFI_MEMORY_UC) is also labeled the same.
The kexec utility then includes uncached memory as part of vmcore. The
kdump kernel MCA'ed when it tries to save the vmcore to a disk. A normal
"cached" access may cause MCAs.
This patch would label memory with attribute of EFI_MEMORY_UC only as

PCMCIA abuses dev->private_data in the probe methods. Unfortunately it
continues to abuse it after calling drv->probe() which leads to crashes and
other nasties (such as bogus probes of multifunction devices) giving errors like
pcmcia: registering new device pcmcia0.1
kernel: 0.1: GetNextTuple: No more items
Extract the passed data before calling the driver probe function that way
we don't blow up when the driver reuses dev->private_data as its right.

Based upon a bug report by Meelis Roos.
The OF device layer builds properties by matching bus types and
applying 'range' properties as appropriate, up to the root.
The match for "PCI" busses is looking at the 'device_type' property,
and this does work %99 of the time.
But on an E3500 system with a PCI QFE card, the DEC 21153 bridge
sitting above the QFE network interface devices has a 'name' of "pci",
but it completely lacks a 'device_type' property. So we don't match
it as a PCI bus, and subsequently we end up with no resource values at
all for the devices sitting under that DEC bridge.
