84eb8d0608 Fix "can not" in Documentation and Kconfig
Randy brought it to my attention that in proper english "can not" should always
be written "cannot". I donot see any reason to argue, even if I mightnot
understand why this rule exists.  This patch fixes "can not" in several
Documentation files as well as three Kconfigs.

4b3f686d4a Attack of "the the"s in arch
The patch below corrects multiple occurances of "the the"
typos across several files, both in source comments and KConfig files.
There is no actual code changed, only text.  Note this only affects the /arch
directory, and I believe I could find many more elsewhere. :)

8ccb3dcd1f x86: Fix booting with "no387 nofxsr"
Jesper Juhl reported that testing the software math-emulation by forcing
"no387" doesn't work on modern CPU's.

The reason was two-fold:
 - you also need to pass in "nofxsr" to make sure that we not only don't
   touch the old i387 legacy hardware, it also needs to disable the
   modern XMM/FXSR sequences
 - "nofxsr" didn't actually clear the capability bits immediately,
   leaving the early boot sequence still using FXSR until we got to
   the identify_cpu() stage.

This fixes the "nofxsr" flag to take effect immediately on the boot CPU.

8b2a1fd1b3 [PATCH] pr_debug: check pr_debug() arguments
check pr_debug() arguments

When DEBUG isn't defined pr_debug() is defined away as an empty macro.  By
throwing away the arguments we allow completely incorrect code to build.

Instead let's make it an empty inline which checks arguments and mark it so gcc
can check the format specification.

This results in a seemingly insignificant code size increase.  A x86-64
allyesconfig:

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename

42d3fb5a87 [PATCH] arm build fail: vfpsingle.c
It looks like Zach Brown's patch pr_debug-check-pr_debug-arguments
worked as inteded. That is, it doesn't "allow completely incorrect code
to build." :).

The arm build fails with the following message:
  CC      arch/arm/vfp/vfpsingle.o
  arch/arm/vfp/vfpsingle.c: In function `__vfp_single_normaliseround':
  arch/arm/vfp/vfpsingle.c:201: error: `func' undeclared (first use in

  make[1]: *** [arch/arm/vfp/vfpsingle.o] Error 1
  make: *** [arch/arm/vfp] Error 2

The following patch fixes the issue by using func only when DEBUG is

find_first_set doesn't find the least-significant bit on bigendian machines,
so it is really wrong to use it.

ffs is closer, but takes an 'int' and we have a 'unsigned long'.  So use
ffz(~X) to convert a chunksize into a chunkshift.

e8703fe1f5 [PATCH] md: remove MAX_MD_DEVS which is an arbitrary limit
Once upon a time we needed to fixed limit to the number of md devices,
probably because we preallocated some array.  This need no longer exists, but
we still have an arbitrary limit.

So remove MAX_MD_DEVS and allow as many devices as we can fit into the 'minor'
part of a device number.

Also remove some useless noise at init time (which reports MAX_MD_DEVS) and
remove MD_THREAD_NAME_MAX which hasn't been used for a while.

d33a56d363 [PATCH] md: fix duplicity of levels in md.txt
md.txt has two sections describing the 'level' sysfs attribute, and some of
the text is out-of-date.  So make just one section, and make it right.

61df9d91e9 [PATCH] md: make messages about resync/recovery etc more specific
It is possible to request a 'check' of an md/raid array where the whole array
is read and consistancies are reported.

This uses the same mechanisms as 'resync' and so reports in the kernel logs
that a resync is being started.  This understandably confuses/worries people.

Also the text in /proc/mdstat suggests a 'resync' is happen when it is just a
check.

This patch changes those messages to be more specific about what is happening.

f022b2fddd [PATCH] md: add a ->congested_fn function for raid5/6
This is very different from other raid levels and all requests go through a
'stripe cache', and it has congestion management already.

0d12922823 [PATCH] md: define ->congested_fn for raid1, raid10, and multipath
raid1, raid10 and multipath don't report their 'congested' status through
bdi_*_congested, but should.

This patch adds the appropriate functions which just check the 'congested'
status of all active members (with appropriate locking).

raid1 read_balance should be modified to prefer devices where
bdi_read_congested returns false.  Then we could use the '&' branch rather
than the '|' branch.  However that should would need some benchmarking first
to make sure it is actually a good idea.

26be34dc3a [PATCH] md: define backing_dev_info.congested_fn for raid0 and linear
Each backing_dev needs to be able to report whether it is congested, either by
modulating BDI_*_congested in ->state, or by defining a ->congested_fn.
md/raid did neither of these.  This patch add a congested_fn which simply
checks all component devices to see if they are congested.

c04be0aa82 [PATCH] md: Improve locking around error handling
The error handling routines don't use proper locking, and so two concurrent
errors could trigger a problem.

So:
  - use test-and-set and test-and-clear to synchonise
    the In_sync bits with the ->degraded count
  - use the spinlock to protect updates to the
    degraded count (could use an atomic_t but that
    would be a bigger change in code, and isn't
    really justified)
  - remove un-necessary locking in raid5
