a08b6b7968 [PATCH] Kconfig fix (BLK_DEV_FD dependencies)
Sanitized and fixed floppy dependencies: split the messy dependencies for
BLK_DEV_FD by introducing a new symbol (ARCH_MAY_HAVE_PC_FDC), making
BLK_DEV_FD depend on that one and taking declarations of ARCH_MAY_HAVE_PC_FDC
to arch/*/Kconfig.  While we are at it, fixed several obvious cases when
BLK_DEV_FD should have been excluded (architectures lacking asm/floppy.h
are *not* going to have floppy.c compile, let alone work).

If you can come up with better name for that ("this architecture might
have working PC-compatible floppy disk controller"), you are more than
welcome - just s/ARCH_MAY_HAVE_PC_FDC/your_prefered_name/g in the patch
below...

deac66ae45 [PATCH] kprobes: fix bug when probed on task and isr functions
This patch fixes a race condition where in system used to hang or sometime
crash within minutes when kprobes are inserted on ISR routine and a task
routine.

The fix has been stress tested on i386, ia64, pp64 and on x86_64.  To
reproduce the problem insert kprobes on schedule() and do_IRQ() functions
and you should see hang or system crash.

Use msleep_interruptible() instead of schedule_timeout() in ppc64-specific
code to cleanup/simplify the sleeping logic.  Change the units of the
parameter of do_event_scan_all_cpus() to milliseconds from jiffies.  The
return value of rtas_extended_busy_delay_time() was incorrectly being used
as a jiffies value (it is actually milliseconds), which is fixed by using
the value as a parameter to msleep_interruptible().  Also, use
rtas_extended_busy_delay_time() in another case where similar logic is
duplicated.

802f192e4a [PATCH] SPARSEMEM EXTREME
A new option for SPARSEMEM is ARCH_SPARSEMEM_EXTREME.  Architecture
platforms with a very sparse physical address space would likely want to
select this option.  For those architecture platforms that don't select the
option, the code generated is equivalent to SPARSEMEM currently in -mm.
I'll be posting a patch on ia64 ml which uses this new SPARSEMEM feature.

ARCH_SPARSEMEM_EXTREME makes mem_section a one dimensional array of
pointers to mem_sections.  This two level layout scheme is able to achieve
smaller memory requirements for SPARSEMEM with the tradeoff of an
additional shift and load when fetching the memory section.  The current
SPARSEMEM -mm implementation is a one dimensional array of mem_sections
which is the default SPARSEMEM configuration.  The patch attempts isolates
the implementation details of the physical layout of the sparsemem section
array.

ARCH_SPARSEMEM_EXTREME depends on 64BIT and is by default boolean false.

I've boot tested under aim load ia64 configured for ARCH_SPARSEMEM_EXTREME.
 I've also boot tested a 4 way Opteron machine with !ARCH_SPARSEMEM_EXTREME
and tested with aim.

We have two options:
1. Detect the undocumented 0xdeadbeef return value and interpret it as
a failure.
2. Avoid allocating that high.

(2) is really the cleaner solution here. 768MB is plenty of room so use
that as the max alloc_top instead of 1GB.

1e4a79e045 [PATCH] fix iSeries build for gcc-3.4
gcc 3.4 (at least the build we are using) puts the gcc generated .ident
string into a .note section at the end of the files it compiles (gcc
3.3.3-hammer and gcc 4.0.2 Debian puts it in the .text section).  This
means that the lparmap.s file we produce in the iSeries build may end with
a .note section.  When we include it into head.S, the assembler can no
longer resolve some of the conditional branches since the target label
ends up too far away.  This patch just forces us back to the .text section
after including lparmap.s.

The breakage was caused by my patch "iSeries build with newer assemblers

69be8f1896 [PATCH] convert signal handling of NODEFER to act like other Unix boxes.
It has been reported that the way Linux handles NODEFER for signals is
not consistent with the way other Unix boxes handle it.  I've written a
program to test the behavior of how this flag affects signals and had
several reports from people who ran this on various Unix boxes,
confirming that Linux seems to be unique on the way this is handled.

The way NODEFER affects signals on other Unix boxes is as follows:

1) If NODEFER is set, other signals in sa_mask are still blocked.

2) If NODEFER is set and the signal is in sa_mask, then the signal is
still blocked. (Note: this is the behavior of all tested but Linux _and_
NetBSD 2.0 *).

The way NODEFER affects signals on Linux:

1) If NODEFER is set, other signals are _not_ blocked regardless of
sa_mask (Even NetBSD doesn't do this).

2) If NODEFER is set and the signal is in sa_mask, then the signal being
handled is not blocked.

The patch converts signal handling in all current Linux architectures to
the way most Unix boxes work.

Unix boxes that were tested:  DU4, AIX 5.2, Irix 6.5, NetBSD 2.0, SFU
3.5 on WinXP, AIX 5.3, Mac OSX, and of course Linux 2.6.13-rcX.

* NetBSD was the only other Unix to behave like Linux on point #2. The
main concern was brought up by point #1 which even NetBSD isn't like
Linux.  So with this patch, we leave NetBSD as the lonely one that
behaves differently here with #2.

c594adad56 [PATCH] Dynamic hugepage addresses for ppc64
Paulus, I think this is now a reasonable candidate for the post-2.6.13
queue.

Relax address restrictions for hugepages on ppc64

Presently, 64-bit applications on ppc64 may only use hugepages in the
address region from 1-1.5T.  Furthermore, if hugepages are enabled in
the kernel config, they may only use hugepages and never normal pages
in this area.  This patch relaxes this restriction, allowing any
address to be used with hugepages, but with a 1TB granularity.  That
is if you map a hugepage anywhere in the region 1TB-2TB, that entire
area will be reserved exclusively for hugepages for the remainder of
the process's lifetime.  This works analagously to hugepages in 32-bit
applications, where hugepages can be mapped anywhere, but with 256MB
(mmu segment) granularity.

This patch applies on top of the four level pagetable patch
(http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/linuxppc64/patch?id=1936).
