2e188938ab [PATCH] i386: Fix a typo in an IRQ handler name
The "fasteoi" IRQ handler is named "fasteio" incorrectly.  This is a fix.

464d1a78fb [PATCH] i386: Convert i386 PDA code to use %fs
Convert the PDA code to use %fs rather than %gs as the segment for
per-processor data.  This is because some processors show a small but
measurable performance gain for reloading a NULL segment selector (as %fs
generally is in user-space) versus a non-NULL one (as %gs generally is).

On modern processors the difference is very small, perhaps undetectable.
Some old AMD "K6 3D+" processors are noticably slower when %fs is used
rather than %gs; I have no idea why this might be, but I think they're
sufficiently rare that it doesn't matter much.

This patch also fixes the math emulator, which had not been adjusted to
match the changed struct pt_regs.

54413927f0 [PATCH] x86-64: x86_64-make-the-numa-hash-function-nodemap-allocation fix fix
- Removed an extraneous debug message from allocate_cachealigned_map

- Changed extract_lsb_from_nodes to return 63 for the case where there was
  only one memory node.  The prevents the creation of the dynamic hashmap.

- Changed extract_lsb_from_nodes to use only the starting memory address of
  a node.  On an ES7000, our nodes overlap the starting and ending address,
  meaning, that we see nodes like

	00000 - 10000
	10000 - 20000

  But other systems have nodes whose start and end addresses do not overlap.
   For example:

	00000 - 0FFFF
	10000 - 1FFFF

  In this case, using the ending address will result in an LSB much lower
  than what is possible.  In this case an LSB of 1 when in reality it should
  be 16.

076422d2af [PATCH] x86-64: Allocate the NUMA hash function nodemap dynamically
Remove the statically allocated memory to NUMA node hash map in favor of a
dynamically allocated memory to node hash map (it is cache aligned).

This patch has the nice side effect in that it allows the hash map to grow
for systems with large amounts of memory (256GB - 1TB), but suffer from
having small PCI space tacked onto the boot node (which is somewhere
between 192MB to 512MB on the ES7000).

0812a579c9 [PATCH] x86-64: Add __copy_from_user_nocache
This does user copies in fs write() into the page cache with write combining.
This pushes the destination out of the CPU's cache, but allows higher bandwidth
in some case.

The theory is that the page cache data is usually not touched by the
CPU again and it's better to not pollute the cache with it. Also it is a little
faster.

34cc560e6a [SPARC]: Re-export saved_command_line to modules.
This reverts some bogosity from the dynamic command-line
changes made on sparc32 and sparc64.

Drivers such as drivers/sbus/char/openprom.c reference
saved_command_line, and can be modular.

The boot_command_line is __initdata, yet the dynamic command-line
changes add modular exports of that symbol, obviously wrong.

fbdb3e5be3 [PATCH] ps3: Preallocate bootmem memory for ps3fb
Preallocate bootmem memory for the PS3 frame buffer device, which needs a
large block of physically-contiguous memory. The size of this memory block is
configurable:
  - The config option CONFIG_FB_PS3_DEFAULT_SIZE_M allows to specify the
    default amount of memory (in MiB) allocated to the virtual frame buffer.
  - The early boot parameter `ps3fb=xxx' allows to override the default value.
    It will be rounded up to a multiple of 1 MiB, if needed.

a31c4eea21 [PATCH] AT91 GPIO wrappers
This is a first cut at making the AT91 code use the generic GPIO calls.

Note that the original AT91 GPIO calls merged the "mux pin as GPIO" and "set
GPIO direction" functionality into one API call, contrary to what's specified
as a cross-platform portable model.  So this involved a few non-inlinable
functions.

ab521dc0f8 [PATCH] tty: update the tty layer to work with struct pid
Of kernel subsystems that work with pids the tty layer is probably the largest
consumer.  But it has the nice virtue that the assiation with a session only
lasts until the session leader exits.  Which means that no reference counting
is required.  So using struct pid winds up being a simple optimization to
avoid hash table lookups.

In the long term the use of pid_nr also ensures that when we have multiple pid
spaces mixed everything will work correctly.

0e25338bc1 [PATCH] signal: use kill_pgrp not kill_pg in the sunos compatibility code
I am slowly moving to a model where all process killing is struct pid based
instead of pid_t based.  The sunos compatibility code is one of the last users
of the old pid_t based kill_pg in the kernel.  By being complete I allow for
the future removal of kill_pg from the kernel, which will ensure I don't miss
something.

0ec67667ab [S390] smp_call_function/smp_call_function_on locking.
smp_call_function and smp_call_function_on share the same lock and
smp_call_function_on disables softirq's so it can be called from
softirq context as well. Hence smp_call_function muss disable
softirqs as well to avoid deadlocks.

23db764d3d [PATCH] Switch s390 to NO_IOMEM
Martin Schwidefsky wrote:
  "s390 does not even need (in|out)b(_p|).  I wondered what else from
   io.h do we not need.  The answer is: almost nothing.  With the devres
   patch from Al and the dma-mapping patch from Heiko we can get rid of
   iomem and all associated definitions."

So we'll just need to replace NO_IOPORT with NO_IOMEM in Kconfig and
kill arch/s390/mm/ioremap.c.

BTW, there's an annoying bit of junk in there - IO_SPACE_LIMIT.  We
only need it for /proc/ioports, which AFAICS shouldn't even be there
on s390 (or uml).  OTOH, removing that thing would mean a user-visible
change - we go from "empty file in /proc" to "no such file in /proc"...
