2e4934aa45 drivers/block/cpqarray.c: better error handling and kmalloc + memset conversion to k[cz]alloc
This patch removes some redundant casts, does the kmalloc + memset to
k[cz]alloc conversion and it changes the error path to use goto (to avoid code
duplication).

d1f5a77f2c [POWERPC] Fix size check for hugetlbfs
My "slices" address space management code that was added in the 2.6.22
implementation of get_unmapped_area() doesn't properly check that the
size is a multiple of the requested page size.  This allows userland to
create VMAs that aren't a multiple of the huge page size with hugetlbfs
(since hugetlbfs entirely relies on get_unmapped_area() to do that
checking) which leads to a kernel BUG() when such areas are torn down.

8f2ea1fd3f [POWERPC] Fix initialization and usage of dma_mask
powerpc has a couple of bugs in the usage of dma_masks that tend to
break when drivers explicitly try to set a 32-bit mask for example.

First, the code that generates the pci devices from the OF device-tree
doesn't initialize the mask properly, then our implementation of
set_dma_mask() was trying to validate the -previous- mask value, not the
one passed in as an argument.

This fixes these problems.

3c5ede8cc6 [POWERPC] Revert "[POWERPC] Add 'mdio' to bus scan id list for platforms with QE UEC"

That commit was a mistake from the start; I added mdio type to the

which is just pure wrong (the ucc_geth_mii driver creates the mii
bus and the PHY layer handles PHY enumeration without translation).

This follows on from commit 77926826f3:

this revert fixes.

edd0622bd2 [POWERPC] Fix potential duplicate entry in SLB shadow buffer

slb_flush_and_rebolt() if the kernel stack was in the same segment
as PAGE_OFFSET, which on POWER6 causes the hypervisor to terminate

Also we were not creating an SLB entry (or an SLB shadow buffer
entry) for the kernel stack on secondary CPUs when starting the

be created on demand, but this fixes that also for consistency.

1ceef40249 SLUB: Fix dynamic dma kmalloc cache creation
The dynamic dma kmalloc creation can run into trouble if a
GFP_ATOMIC allocation is the first one performed for a certain size
of dma kmalloc slab.

- Move the adding of the slab to sysfs into a workqueue
  (sysfs does GFP_KERNEL allocations)
- Do not call kmem_cache_destroy() (uses slub_lock)
- Only acquire the slub_lock once and--if we cannot wait--do a trylock.

  This introduces a slight risk of the first kmalloc(x, GFP_DMA|GFP_ATOMIC)
  for a range of sizes failing due to another process holding the slub_lock.
  However, we only need to acquire the spinlock once in order to establish
  each power of two DMA kmalloc cache. The possible conflict is with the
  slub_lock taken during slab management actions (create / remove slab cache).

  It is rather typical that a driver will first fill its buffers using
  GFP_KERNEL allocations which will wait until the slub_lock can be acquired.
  Drivers will also create its slab caches first outside of an atomic
  context before starting to use atomic kmalloc from an interrupt context.

  If there are any failures then they will occur early after boot or when
  loading of multiple drivers concurrently. Drivers can already accomodate
  failures of GFP_ATOMIC for other reasons. Retries will then create the slab.

fcda3d89bf SLUB: Remove checks for MAX_PARTIAL from kmem_cache_shrink
The MAX_PARTIAL checks were supposed to be an optimization. However, slab
shrinking is a manually triggered process either through running slabinfo
or by the kernel calling kmem_cache_shrink.

If one really wants to shrink a slab then all operations should be done
regardless of the size of the partial list. This also fixes an issue that
could surface if the number of partial slabs was initially above MAX_PARTIAL
in kmem_cache_shrink and later drops below MAX_PARTIAL through the
elimination of empty slabs on the partial list (rare). In that case a few
slabs may be left off the partial list (and only be put back when they
are empty).

6a0ed91e36 hexdump: use const notation
Trivial fix: mark the buffer to hexdump as const so callers could avoid
casting their const buffers when calling print_hex_dump().

The patch is really trivial and I suggest to consider it as a fix
(it fixes GCC warnings) and push it to current tree.

e3bcf5e278 lguest: avoid shared libraries mapped over guest memory
Some versions of ld.so mmap the shared libraries right in over guest
memory, so compile lguest statically by default.

[ FC7 maps shared libraries very low, where the launcher maps guest's
  physical memory.  Quick fix is to link Launcher static, real fix is
  for 2.6.24. ]

-static is a simple fix. I expect this problem will be more common than we
like, as different distro's make different "improvements" to ld.so

0d027c01cd lguest: Fix Malicious Guest GDT Host Crash
If a Guest makes hypercall which sets a GDT entry to not present, we
currently set any segment registers using that GDT entry to 0.
Unfortunately, this is not sufficient: there are other ways of
altering GDT entries which will cause a fault.

The correct solution to do what Linux does: let them set any GDT value
they want and handle the #GP when popping causes a fault.  This has
the added benefit of making our Switcher slightly more robust in the
case of any other bugs which cause it to fault.

We kill the Guest if it causes a fault in the Switcher: it's the
Guest's responsibility to make sure it's not using segments when it
changes them.
