6f7dde812d powerpc/spufs: add sizes for context files
Populate the size member of a few context files. Leave out files that
have different semantics with read vs mmap, or contain a
variable-length hex string.

23d893f51c powerpc/spufs: allow spufs files to specify sizes
Currently, spufs never specifies the i_size for the files in context
directories, so stat() always reports 0-byte files.

This change adds allows the spufs_dir_(nosched_)contents arrays to
specify a file size. This allows stat() to report correct file sizes,
and makes SEEK_END work.

2442a8ba5a powerpc/spufs: don't extend time time slice if context is not in spu_run
An spu context shouldn't get an extra tick if the time slice code
couldn't find something else to run. This means contexts that are not
within spu_run (ie, SPU_SCHED_SPU_RUN is cleared) will not receive
extra ticks while we have no other contexts waiting.

46deed69b3 powerpc/spufs: provide context debug file
Add a ctxt file to spufs that shows spu context information that is used
in scheduling. This info can be used for debugging spufs scheduler
issues, and to isolate between application and spufs problems as it
shows a lot of state such as priorities and dispatch counts.

This file contains internal spufs state and is subject to change at any
time, and therefore no applications should depend on it.  The file is
intended for the use of spufs kernel developers.

b223856640 ipv6: fix race between ipv6_del_addr and DAD timer
Consider the following scenario:

ipv6_del_addr(ifp)
  ipv6_ifa_notify(RTM_DELADDR, ifp)
    ip6_del_rt(ifp->rt)

after returning from the ipv6_ifa_notify and enabling BH-s
back, but *before* calling the addrconf_del_timer the 
ifp->timer fires and:

addrconf_dad_timer(ifp)
  addrconf_dad_completed(ifp)
    ipv6_ifa_notify(RTM_NEWADDR, ifp)
      ip6_ins_rt(ifp->rt)

then return back to the ipv6_del_addr and:

in6_ifa_put(ifp)
  inet6_ifa_finish_destroy(ifp)
    dst_release(&ifp->rt->u.dst)

After this we have an ifp->rt inserted into fib6 lists, but 
queued for gc, which in turn can result in oopses in the
fib6_run_gc. Maybe some other nasty things, but we caught 
only the oops in gc so far.

The solution is to disarm the ifp->timer before flushing the
rt from it.

The change to iwch_provider.c in commit f4e91eb4 ("IB: convert struct

("RDMA/cxgb3: Hold rtnl_lock() around ethtool get_drvinfo call").  It
removed the calls to rtnl_lock() that serialized the iw_cxgb3 ethtool
ops calls into the cxgb3 driver.  This locking is needed to avoid
messing up the internal state of the cxgb3 driver.

2aac05a919 NFS: Fix readdir cache invalidation
invalidate_inode_pages2_range() takes page offset arguments, not byte
ranges.

Another thought is that individual pages might perhaps get evicted by VM
pressure, in which case we might perhaps want to re-read not only the
evicted page, but all subsequent pages too (in case the server returns
more/less data per page so that the alignment of the next entry
changes). We should therefore remove the condition that we only do this on
page->index==0.

ffab6cf44e palm_bk3710: fix IDECLK period calculation
The driver uses completely bogus rounding formula for calculating period from
the IDECLK frequency which gives one-off period values (e.g. 11 ns with 100 MHz
IDECLK) which in turn can lead to overclocked IDE transfer timings.  Actually,
rounding is just wrong in this case, so use a mere division for a safe result.

While at it, also:

- give 'ide_palm_clk' variable a more suitable name;

- get rid of the useless 'ideclkp' variable;

- drop the LISP stype 'p' postfix from the 'clkp' variable's name. :-)

86df864249 Correct hash flushing from huge_ptep_set_wrprotect()
As Andy Whitcroft recently pointed out, the current powerpc version of
huge_ptep_set_wrprotect() has a bug.  It just calls ptep_set_wrprotect()
which in turn calls pte_update() then hpte_need_flush() with the 'huge'
argument set to 0.  This will cause hpte_need_flush() to flush the wrong
hash entries (of any).  Andy's fix for this is already in the powerpc
tree as commit 016b33c495.

I have confirmed this is a real bug, not masked by some other
synchronization, with a new testcase for libhugetlbfs.  A process write
a (MAP_PRIVATE) hugepage mapping, fork(), then alter the mapping and
have the child incorrectly see the second write.

Therefore, this should be fixed for 2.6.26, and for the stable tree.
Here is a suitable patch for 2.6.26, which I think will also be suitable
for the stable tree (neither of the headers in question has been changed
much recently).

It is cut down slighlty from Andy's original version, in that it does
not include a 32-bit version of huge_ptep_set_wrprotect().  Currently,
hugepages are not supported on any 32-bit powerpc platform.  When they
are, a suitable 32-bit version can be added - the only 32-bit hardware
which supports hugepages does not use the conventional hashtable MMU and
so will have different needs anyway.

081a5bcb39 [SCSI] mptspi: fix oops in mptspi_dv_renegotiate_work()
The problem here is that if the ioc faults too early in the bring up
sequence (as it usually does for an irq routing problem), ioc_reset gets
called before the scsi host is even allocated.  This causes an oops when
it later schedules a renegotiation.  Fix this by checking ioc->sh before
trying to renegotiate.

There are various constraints on the use of unit-at-a-time:
 - i386 uses no-unit-at-a-time for pre-4.0 (not 4.3)
 - x86_64 uses unit-at-a-time always

Uli reported a crash on x86_64 with gcc 4.1.2 with unit-at-a-time,
resulting in commit c0a18111e5

Ingo reported a gcc internal error with gcc 4.3 with no-unit-at-a-timem,
resulting in 22eecde2f9

Benny Halevy is seeing extern inlines not resolved with gcc 4.3 with
no-unit-at-a-time

This patch reintroduces unit-at-a-time for gcc >= 4.0, bringing back the
possibility of Uli's crash.  If that happens, we'll debug it.

I started seeing both the internal compiler errors and unresolved
inlines on Fedora 9.  This patch fixes both problems, without so far
reintroducing the crash reported by Uli.

an array of possible matches. However, the patch didn't properly
terminate the array causing potential crashes in cases where no
match is found. In addition, the name of the array was poorly
chosen for a static symbol making debugging harder.

0fe1ef24f7 vsprintf: add support for '%pS' and '%pF' pointer formats
They print out a pointer in symbolic format, if possible (ie using
symbolic KALLSYMS information).  The '%pS' format is for regular direct
pointers (which can point to data or code and that you find on the stack
during backtraces etc), while '%pF' is for C function pointer types.

On most architectures, the two mean exactly the same thing, but some
architectures use an indirect pointer for C function pointers, where the
function pointer points to a function descriptor (which in turn contains
the actual pointer to the code).  The '%pF' code automatically does the
appropriate function descriptor dereference on such architectures.

4d8a743cdd vsprintf: add infrastructure support for extended '%p' specifiers
This expands the kernel '%p' handling with an arbitrary alphanumberic
specifier extension string immediately following the '%p'.  Right now
it's just being ignored, but the next commit will start adding some
specific pointer type extensions.

NOTE! The reason the extension is appended to the '%p' is to allow
minimal gcc type checking: gcc will still see the '%p' and will check
that the argument passed in is indeed a pointer, and yet will not
complain about the extended information that gcc doesn't understand
about (on the other hand, it also won't actually check that the pointer
type and the extension are compatible).

Alphanumeric characters were chosen because there is no sane existing
use for a string format with a hex pointer representation immediately
followed by alphanumerics (which is what such a format string would have
traditionally resulted in).

78a8bf69b3 vsprintf: split out '%p' handling logic
The actual code is the same, just split out into a helper function.
This makes it easier to read, and allows for simple future extension
of %p handling.

97f8571e66 pxamci: fix byte aligned DMA transfers
The pxa27x DMA controller defaults to 64-bit alignment. This caused
the SCR reads to fail (and, depending on card type, error out) when
card->raw_scr was not aligned on a 8-byte boundary.

For performance reasons all scatter-gather addresses passed to
pxamci_request should be aligned on 8-byte boundaries, but if
this can't be guaranteed, byte aligned DMA transfers in the
have to be enabled in the controller to get correct behaviour.

09ca8adbe9 Revert "USB: don't explicitly reenable root-hub status interrupts"
This reverts commit e872154921.

Andrey Borzenkov reports that it resulted in a totally hung machine for
him when loading the OHCI driver.  Extensive netconsole capture with
SysRq output shows that modprobe gets stuck in ohci_hub_status_data()
when probing and enabling the OHCI controller, see for example

	http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/7/5/236

for an analysis.

The problem appears to be an interrupt flood triggered by the commit
that gets reverted, and Andrey confirmed that the revert makes things
work for him again.
