At some point during the 2.6.27 development cycle two new fields were added
to the SELinux context structure, a string pointer and a length field. The
code in selinux_secattr_to_sid() was not modified and as a result these two
fields were left uninitialized which could result in erratic behavior,
including kernel panics, when NetLabel is used. This patch fixes the
problem by fully initializing the context in selinux_secattr_to_sid() before
use and reducing the level of direct context manipulation done to help
prevent future problems.
Please apply this to the 2.6.27-rcX release stream.

Impact: segfault on build of a 32-bit relocatable kernel
When converting arch/x86/boot/compressed/relocs.c to support unlimited
sections, the computation of sym_strtab in walk_relocs() was done
incorrectly. This causes a segfault for some people when building the
relocatable 32-bit kernel.

This fixes a regression that came with 934b2857cc
("[S390] nohz/sclp: disable timer on synchronous waits.").
If udelay() gets called from a disabled context it sets the clock comparator
to a value where it expects the next interrupt. When the interrupt happens
the clock comparator gets not reset and therefore the interrupt condition
doesn't get cleared. The result is an endless timer interrupt loop.
In addition this patch fixes also the following:
rcutorture reveals that our __udelay implementation is still buggy,
since it might schedule tasklets, but prevents their execution:
NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 42
NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 02
NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 142
NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 02
To fix this we make sure that only the clock comparator interrupt
is enabled when the enabled wait psw is loaded.
Also no code gets called anymore which might schedule tasklets.

Doing 'WARN_ON(preempt_count())' was horribly horribly wrong, and would
cause tons of warnings at bootup if PREEMPT was enabled because the
initcalls currently run with the kernel lock, which increments the
preempt count.
At the same time, the warning was also insufficient, since it didn't
check that interrupts were enabled.
The proper debug function to use for something that can sleep and wants
a warning if it's called in the wrong context is 'might_sleep()'.

This is loosely based on a patch by Jesse Barnes to check the user-space
PCI mappings though the sysfs interfaces. Quoting Jesse's original
explanation:
It's fairly common for applications to map PCI resources through sysfs.
However, with the current implementation, it's possible for an application
to map far more than the range corresponding to the resourceN file it
opened. This patch plugs that hole by checking the range at mmap time,
similar to what is done on platforms like sparc64 in their lower level
PCI remapping routines.
It was initially put together to help debug the e1000e NVRAM corruption
problem, since we initially thought an X driver might be walking past the
end of one of its mappings and clobbering the NVRAM. It now looks like
that's not the case, but doing the check is still important for obvious
reasons.
and this version of the patch differs in that it uses a helper function
to clarify the code, and does all the checks in pages (instead of bytes)
in order to avoid overflows when doing "<< PAGE_SHIFT" etc.

When we initialise a compound page we initialise the page flags and head
page pointer for all base pages spanned by that page. When we initialise
a gigantic page (a page of order greater than or equal to MAX_ORDER) we
have to initialise more than MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES pages. Currently we
assume that all elements of the mem_map in this page are contigious in
memory. However this is only guarenteed out to MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES pages,
and with SPARSEMEM enabled they will not be contigious. This leads us to
walk off the end of the first section and scribble on everything which
follows, BAD.
When we reach a MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES boundary we much locate the next
section of the mem_map. As gigantic pages can only be maximally aligned
we know this will occur at exact multiple of MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES pages from
the start of the page.
This is a bug fix for the gigantic page support in hugetlbfs.

The previous patch db203d53d4 ("mm:
tiny-shmem fix lock ordering: mmap_sem vs i_mutex") to fix the lock
ordering in tiny-shmem breaks shared anonymous and IPC memory on NOMMU
architectures because it was using the expanding truncate to signal ramfs
to allocate a physically contiguous RAM backing the inode (otherwise it is
unusable for "memory mapping" it to userspace).
However do_truncate is what caused the lock ordering error, due to it
taking i_mutex. In this case, we can actually just call ramfs directly to
allocate memory for the mapping, rather than go via truncate.

Fix the IRQ handling on the MN10300 arch.
This patch makes a number of significant changes:
(1) It separates the irq_chip definition for edge-triggered interrupts from
the one for level-triggered interrupts.
This is necessary because the MN10300 PIC latches the IRQ channel's
interrupt request bit (GxICR_REQUEST), even after the device has ceased to
assert its interrupt line and the interrupt channel has been disabled in
the PIC. So for level-triggered interrupts we need to clear this bit when
we re-enable - which is achieved by setting GxICR_DETECT but not
GxICR_REQUEST when writing to the register.
Not doing this results in spurious interrupts occurring because calling
mask_ack() at the start of handle_level_irq() is insufficient - it fails
to clear the REQUEST latch because the device that caused the interrupt is
still asserting its interrupt line at this point.
(2) IRQ disablement [irq_chip::disable_irq()] shouldn't clear the interrupt
request flag for edge-triggered interrupts lest it lose an interrupt.
(3) IRQ unmasking [irq_chip::unmask_irq()] also shouldn't clear the interrupt
request flag for edge-triggered interrupts lest it lose an interrupt.
(4) The end() operation is now left to the default (no-operation) as
__do_IRQ() is compiled out. This may affect misrouted_irq(), but
according to Thomas Gleixner it's the correct thing to do.
(5) handle_level_irq() is used for edge-triggered interrupts rather than
handle_edge_irq() as the MN10300 PIC latches interrupt events even on
masked IRQ channels, thus rendering IRQ_PENDING unnecessary. It is
sufficient to call mask_ack() at the start and unmask() at the end.
(6) For level-triggered interrupts, ack() is now NULL as it's not used, and
there is no effective ACK function on the PIC. mask_ack() is now the
same as mask() as the latch continues to latch, even when the channel is
masked.
Further, the patch discards the disable() op implementation as its now the same
as the mask() op implementation, which is used instead.
It also discards the enable() op implementations as they're now the same as
the unmask() op implementations, which are used instead.
