f0a5c315eb [PATCH] lockdep: i386 remove multi entry backtraces
Remove CONFIG_STACK_BACKTRACE_COLS.

This feature didnt work out: instead of making kernel debugging more
efficient, it produces much harder to read stacktraces!  Check out this trace
for example:

  http://static.flickr.com/47/158326090_35d0129147_b_d.jpg

That backtrace could have been printed much nicer as a one-entry-per-line
thing, taking the same amount of screen real-estate.

Plus we remove 30 lines of kernel code as well.

9a11b49a80 [PATCH] lockdep: better lock debugging
Generic lock debugging:

 - generalized lock debugging framework. For example, a bug in one lock
   subsystem turns off debugging in all lock subsystems.

 - got rid of the caller address passing (__IP__/__IP_DECL__/etc.) from
   the mutex/rtmutex debugging code: it caused way too much prototype
   hackery, and lockdep will give the same information anyway.

 - ability to do silent tests

 - check lock freeing in vfree too.

 - more finegrained debugging options, to allow distributions to
   turn off more expensive debugging features.

There's no separate 'held mutexes' list anymore - but there's a 'held locks'
stack within lockdep, which unifies deadlock detection across all lock
classes.  (this is independent of the lockdep validation stuff - lockdep first
checks whether we are holding a lock already)

Here are the current debugging options:

CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC=y

which do:

 config DEBUG_MUTEXES
          bool "Mutex debugging, basic checks"

 config DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC
         bool "Detect incorrect freeing of live mutexes"

c01d403b2e [PATCH] lockdep: add disable/enable_irq_lockdep() API
lockdep wants to use the disable_irq()/enable_irq() prototypes before they are
provied by the platform's asm/irq.h.  So move them out of the
CONFIG_GENERIC_HARDIRQS define - all architectures have a common prototype for
this anyway.

Add special lockdep variants of irq line disabling/enabling.

These should be used for locking constructs that know that a particular irq
context which is disabled, and which is the only irq-context user of a lock,
that it's safe to take the lock in the irq-disabled section without disabling
hardirqs.

3e541a4ae5 [PATCH] lockdep: floppy.c irq release fix
The lock validator triggered a number of bugs in the floppy driver, all
related to the floppy driver allocating and freeing irq and dma resources from
interrupt context.  The initial solution was to use schedule_work() to push
this into process context, but this caused further problems: for example the
current floppy driver in -mm2 is totally broken and all floppy commands time
out with an error.  (as reported by Barry K.  Nathan)

This patch tries another solution: simply get rid of all that dynamic IRQ and
DMA allocation/freeing.  I doubt it made much sense back in the heydays of
floppies (if two devices raced for DMA or IRQ resources then we didnt handle
those cases too gracefully anyway), and today it makes near zero sense.

So the new code does the simplest and most straightforward thing: allocate IRQ
and DMA resources at module init time, and free them at module removal time.
Dont try to release while the driver is operational.  This, besides making the
floppy driver functional again has an added bonus, floppy IRQ stats are
finally persistent and visible in /proc/interrupts:

  6: 63 XT-PIC-level floppy

Besides normal floppy IO i have also tested IO error handling, motor-off
timeouts, etc.  - and everything seems to be working fine.

ce51059be5 [PATCH] binfmt_elf: fix checks for bad address
Fix check for bad address; use macro instead of open-coding two checks.

Taken from RHEL4 kernel update.

From: Ernie Petrides <petrides@redhat.com>

  For background, the BAD_ADDR() macro should return TRUE if the address is
  TASK_SIZE, because that's the lowest address that is *not* valid for
  user-space mappings.  The macro was correct in binfmt_aout.c but was wrong
  for the "equal to" case in binfmt_elf.c.  There were two in-line validations
  of user-space addresses in binfmt_elf.c, which have been appropriately
  converted to use the corrected BAD_ADDR() macro in the patch you posted
  yesterday.  Note that the size checks against TASK_SIZE are okay as coded.

  The additional changes that I propose are below.  These are in the error
  paths for bad ELF entry addresses once load_elf_binary() has already
  committed to exec'ing the new image (following the tearing down of the
  task's original address space).

  The 1st hunk deals with the interp-side of the outer "if".  There were two
  problems here.  The printk() should be removed because this path can be
  triggered at will by a bogus interpreter image created and used by a
  malicious user.  Further, the error code should not be ENOEXEC, because that
  causes the loop in search_binary_handler() to continue trying other exec
  handlers (twice, in fact).  But it's too late for this to work correctly,
  because the user address space has already been torn down, and an exec()
  failure cannot be returned to the user code because the code no longer
  exists.  The only recovery is to force a SIGSEGV, but it's best to terminate
  the search loop immediately.  I somewhat arbitrarily chose EINVAL as a
  fallback error code, but any error returned by load_elf_interp() will
  override that (but this value will never be seen by user-space).

  The 2nd hunk deals with the non-interp-side of the outer "if".  There were
  two problems here as well.  The SIGSEGV needs to be forced, because a prior
  sigaction() syscall might have set the associated disposition to SIG_IGN.
  And the ENOEXEC should be changed to EINVAL as described above.

9614634fe6 [PATCH] ZVC/zone_reclaim: Leave 1% of unmapped pagecache pages for file I/O
It turns out that it is advantageous to leave a small portion of unmapped file
backed pages if all of a zone's pages (or almost all pages) are allocated and
so the page allocator has to go off-node.

This allows recently used file I/O buffers to stay on the node and
reduces the times that zone reclaim is invoked if file I/O occurs
when we run out of memory in a zone.

The problem is that zone reclaim runs too frequently when the page cache is
used for file I/O (read write and therefore unmapped pages!) alone and we have
almost all pages of the zone allocated.  Zone reclaim may remove 32 unmapped
pages.  File I/O will use these pages for the next read/write requests and the
unmapped pages increase.  After the zone has filled up again zone reclaim will
remove it again after only 32 pages.  This cycle is too inefficient and there
are potentially too many zone reclaim cycles.

With the 1% boundary we may still remove all unmapped pages for file I/O in
zone reclaim pass.  However.  it will take a large number of read and writes
to get back to 1% again where we trigger zone reclaim again.

The zone reclaim 2.6.16/17 does not show this behavior because we have a 30
second timeout.

cb6358eb69 [PATCH] SERIAL: allow shared 8250_pnp interrupts
PNP devices can use shared interrupts, so check to see whether we'll need
SA_SHIRQ for request_irq().

The builtin PDH UART on the HP rx8640 is an example of an ACPI/PNP device
that uses a shareable level-triggered, active-low interrupt.  The interrupt
can be shared in very large I/O configurations or by artificially lowering
IA64_DEF_LAST_DEVICE_VECTOR.

c32928c579 [PATCH] PNPACPI: support shareable interrupts
ACPI supplies a "shareable" indication, but PNPACPI ignores it.  If a PNP
device uses a shared interrupt, request_irq() fails because the PNP driver
can't tell whether to supply SA_SHIRQ.

This patch allows PNP drivers to test
    (pnp_irq_flags(dev, 0) & IORESOURCE_IRQ_SHAREABLE)

6abd219c6e [PATCH] bcm43xx: netlink deadlock fix
reported by Jure Repinc:

> > checked out dmesg output and found the message
> >
> > ======================================================

The patch below should fix the deadlock, albeit I suspect it's not the
"right" fix; the right fix may well be to move the rx processing in bcm43xx
to softirq context.  [it's debatable, ipw2200 hit this exact same bug; at
some point it's better to bite the bullet and move this to the common layer
as my patch below does]

Make the nl_table_lock irq-safe; it's taken for read in various netlink
functions, including functions that several wireless drivers (ipw2200,
bcm43xx) want to call from hardirq context.

The deadlock was found by the lock validator.

b02454f435 [PATCH] lockdep: special s390 print_symbol() version
Have a special version of print_symbol() for s390 which clears the most
significant bit of addr before calling __print_symbol().  This seems to be
better than checking/changing each place in the kernel that saves an
instruction pointer.

Without this the output would look like:

hardirqs last  enabled at (30907): [<80018c6a>] 0x80018c6a
hardirqs last disabled at (30908): [<8001e48c>] 0x8001e48c

softirqs last disabled at (30897): [<8001dc50>] 0x8001dc50

instead of this:

hardirqs last  enabled at (19421): [<80018c72>] cpu_idle+0x176/0x1c4
hardirqs last disabled at (19422): [<8001e494>] io_no_vtime+0xa/0x1a

88fecaa27f [PATCH] time initialisation fix
We're not reay to take a timer interrupt until timekeeping_init() has run.
But time_init() will start the time interrupt and if it is called with
local interrupts enabled we'll immediately take an interrupt and die.

Fix that by running timekeeping_init() prior to time_init().

We don't know _why_ local interrupts got enabled on Jesse Brandeburg's
machine.  That's a separate as-yet-unsolved problem.  THe patch adds a little
bit of debugging to detect that.

This whole requirement that local interrupts be held off during early boot
keeps on biting us.

63104eec23 kbuild: introduce utsrelease.h
include/linux/version.h contained both actual KERNEL version
and UTS_RELEASE that contains a subset from git SHA1 for when
kernel was compiled as part of a git repository.
This had the unfortunate side-effect that all files including version.h
would be recompiled when some git changes was made due to changes SHA1.
Split it out so we keep independent parts in separate files.

Also update checkversion.pl script to no longer check for UTS_RELEASE.
