fe69933652 [PATCH] ACPI: repair nvidia early quirk breakage on x86_64
x86_64 nvidia_bugs() broke when we bailed out on not finding the HPET.
However, the quirk works by checking for _not_ finding the HPET...

Delete the nvidia_hpet_detected flag and simply test for
not finding the HPET, which is simple to do now that
acpi_table_parse returns 1 on failure.

44f5c4ced6 [PATCH] uml: arch_prctl should set thread fs
In my previous x86_64 thread fix, I forgot to initialize thread.arch.fs in
arch_prctl.  A process calling arch_prctl to set %fs would lose it on the
next context switch.

It also turns out that you can switch to a process which is in the process
of exiting and which has lost its mm.  In this case, it's worse than
useless to try to call arch_prctl on the host process.

f6dfb4fd7d [PATCH] Add epoll compat_ code to fs/compat.c
IA64 and ARM-OABI are currently using their own version of epoll compat_
code.

An architecture needs epoll_event translation if alignof(u64) in 32 bit
mode is different from alignof(u64) in 64 bit mode.  If an architecture
needs epoll_event translation, it must define struct compat_epoll_event in
asm/compat.h and set CONFIG_HAVE_COMPAT_EPOLL_EVENT and use
compat_sys_epoll_ctl and compat_sys_epoll_wait.

All 64 bit architecture should use compat_sys_epoll_pwait.

[sfr: restructure and move to fs/compat.c, remove MIPS version
of compat_sys_epoll_pwait, use __put_user_unaligned]

47c51dff4a [PATCH] x86_64: fix 2.6.18 regression - PTRACE_OLDSETOPTIONS should be accepted
Also PTRACE_OLDSETOPTIONS should be accepted, as done by kernel/ptrace.c
and forced by binary compatibility.  UML/32bit breaks because of this -
since it is wise enough to use PTRACE_OLDSETOPTIONS to be binary compatible
with 2.4 host kernels.

Until 2.6.17 (commit f0f2d6536e) we had:

       default:
                return sys_ptrace(request, pid, addr, data);

Instead here we have:
        case PTRACE_GET_THREAD_AREA:
	case ...:
                return sys_ptrace(request, pid, addr, data);

        default:
                return -EINVAL;

This change was a style change - when a case is added, it must be
explicitly tested this way.  In this case, not enough testing was done.

b53378856f [PATCH] um: mark both consoles as CON_ANYTIME
Since both UML consoles do not use percpu variables, they may be called when
the cpu is still offline, and they may be marked CON_ANYTIME (this is
documented in kernel/printk.c, grep for CON_ANYTIME to find mentions of this).

Works well in testing done with lock debug enabled, should be safe but is not
needed for next release.

This would probably help also stderr_console.c, but this is yet to test.

On 1.6GHz Montectio Tiger4, the following performance data is measured with
kernel built with defconfig which has NUMA configured:

Fastest sys_getcpu: 502 itc counts.
Fastest fsys_getcpu: 28 itc counts.

fsys_getcpu performance is largly impacted by whether data (node_to_cpu_map
etc) is in cache. It can take fsys_getcpu up to ~150 itc counts in cold

d04f41e353 [PATCH] CPU hotplug: call check_tsc_sync_source() with irqs off
check_tsc_sync_source() depends on being called with irqs disabled (it
checks whether the TSC is coherent across two specific CPUs). This is
incidentally true during bootup, but not during cpu hotplug __cpu_up().
This got found via smp_processor_id() debugging.

disable irqs explicitly and remove the unconditional enabling of
interrupts. Add touch_nmi_watchdog() to the cpu_online_map busy loop.

this bug is present both on i386 and on x86_64.

cee87af2a5 [IA64] kexec: Use EFI_LOADER_DATA for ELF core header
The address where the ELF core header is stored is passed to the secondary
kernel as a kernel command line option.  The memory area for this header is
also marked as a separate EFI memory descriptor on ia64.

The separate EFI memory descriptor is at the moment of the type
EFI_UNUSABLE_MEMORY.  With such a type the secondary kernel skips over the
entire memory granule (config option, 16M or 64M) when detecting memory.
If we are lucky we will just lose some memory, but if we happen to have
data in the same granule (such as an initramfs image), then this data will
never get mapped and the kernel bombs out when trying to access it.

So this is an attempt to fix this by changing the EFI memory descriptor
type into EFI_LOADER_DATA.  This type is the same type used for the kernel
data and for initramfs.  In the secondary kernel we then handle the ELF
core header data the same way as we handle the initramfs image.

This patch contains the kernel changes to make this happen.  Pretty
straightforward, we reserve the area in reserve_memory().  The address for
the area comes from the kernel command line and the size comes from the
specialized EFI parsing function vmcore_find_descriptor_size().

The kexec-tools-testing code for this can be found here:

41d5e5d73e [IA64] permon use-after-free fix
Perfmon associates vmalloc()ed memory with a file descriptor, and installs
a vma mapping that memory.  Unfortunately, the vm_file field is not filled
in, so processes with mappings to that memory do not prevent the file from
being closed and the memory freed.  This results in use-after-free bugs and
multiple freeing of pages, etc.

I saw this bug on an Altix on SLES9.  Haven't reproduced upstream but it
looks like the same issue is there.

a27e5a13d5 [IA64] always build arch/ia64/lib/xor.o
Always build ia64 xor.o because multiple config options now depend on it.

Necessary to build .20-mm* on ia64 when, e.g., CONFIG_ASYNC_TX_DMA is
defined.  Don't know if '_ASYNC_TX_DMA makes sense on ia64.  If not, maybe
Kconfig should preclude it.

Could have defined a Kconfig option that defaults to true if MD_RAID456 ||
ASYNC_TX_DMA to control building of xor.o, but xor.o is only 848 bytes and
this IS ia64...

f4a570997e [IA64] point saved_max_pfn to the max_pfn of the entire system
Make saved_max_pfn point to max_pfn of entire system.

Without this patch is so that vmcore is zero length on ia64.  This is
because saved_max_pfn was wrongly being set to the max_pfn of the crash
kernel's address space, rather than the max_pfg on the physical memory of
the machine - the whole purpose of vmcore is to access physical memory that
is not part of the crash kernel's addresss space.
