fc33a7bb9c [PATCH] per-mountpoint noatime/nodiratime
Turn noatime and nodiratime into per-mount instead of per-sb flags.

After all the preparations this is a rather trivial patch.  The mount code
needs to treat the two options as per-mount instead of per-superblock, and
touch_atime needs to be changed to check the new MNT_ flags in addition to
the MS_ flags that are kept for filesystems that are always
noatime/nodiratime but not user settable anymore.  Besides that core code
only nfs needed an update because it's leaving atime updates to the server
and thus sets the S_NOATIME flag on every inode, but needs to know whether
it's a real noatime mount for an getattr optimization.

While we're at it I've killed the IS_NOATIME/IS_NODIRATIME macros that were
only used by touch_atime.

e6a6d2efcb [PATCH] sanitize building of fs/compat_ioctl.c
Now that all these entries in the arch ioctl32.c files are gone [1], we can
build fs/compat_ioctl.c as a normal object and kill tons of cruft.  We need a
special do_ioctl32_pointer handler for s390 so the compat_ptr call is done.
This is not needed but harmless on all other architectures.  Also remove some
superflous includes in fs/compat_ioctl.c

Tested on ppc64.

[1] parisc still had it's PPP handler left, which is not fully correct
    for ppp and besides that ppp uses the generic SIOCPRIV ioctl so it'd
    kick in for all netdevice users.  We can introduce a proper handler
    in one of the next patch series by adding a compat_ioctl method to
    struct net_device but for now let's just kill it - parisc doesn't
    compile in mainline anyway and I don't want this to block this
    patchset.

ec3cad9690 [PATCH] move rtc compat ioctl handling to fs/compat_ioctl.c
This patch implements generic handling of RTC_IRQP_READ32, RTC_IRQP_SET32,
RTC_EPOCH_READ32 and RTC_EPOCH_SET32 in fs/compat_ioctl.c.  It's based on the
x86_64 code which needed a little massaging to be endian-clean.

parisc used COMPAT_IOCTL or generic w_long handlers for these whichce is wrong
and can't work because the ioctls encode sizeof(unsigned long) in their ioctl
number.  parisc also duplicated COMPAT_IOCTL entries for other rtc ioctls
which I remove in this patch, too.

e0ad7b073e [PATCH] move xattr permission checks into the VFS
)

From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>

The xattr code has rather complex permission checks because the rules are very
different for different attribute namespaces.  This patch moves as much as we
can into the generic code.  Currently all the major disk based filesystems
duplicate these checks, while many minor filesystems or network filesystems
lack some or all of them.

To do this we need defines for the extended attribute names in common code, I
moved them up from JFS which had the nicest defintions.

(James, I haven't touched selinux yet because it's doing various odd things
and I'm not sure how it would interact with the security attribute fallbacks
you added.  Could you investigate whether it could use vfs_getxattr or if not
add a __vfs_getxattr helper to share the bits it is fine with?)

For NFSv4: instead of just converting it add an nfsd_getxattr helper for the
code shared by NFSv2/3 and NFSv4 ACLs.  In fact that code isn't even
NFS-specific, but I'll wait for more users to pop up first before moving it to
common code.

05970d476f [PATCH] kexec: change CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START dependency
I have heard some complaints about people not finding CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP
option and also some objections about its dependency on CONFIG_EMBEDDED.
The following patch ends that dependency.  I thought of hiding it under
CONFIG_KEXEC, but CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START could also be used for some reasons
other than kexec/kdump and hence left it visible.  I will also update the
documentation accordingly.

o Following patch removes the config dependency of CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START
  on CONFIG_EMBEDDED. The reason being CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP option for
  kdump needs CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START which makes CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP depend
  on CONFIG_EMBEDDED. It is not always obvious for kdump users to choose
  CONFIG_EMBEDDED.

o It also shifts the palce where this option appears, to make it closer
  to kexec and kdump options.

720e1a9f1c [PATCH] kexec: increase max segment limit
)

From: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@in.ibm.com>

- In some cases, the number of segments, on a kexec load, exceeds the
  existing cap of 8.  This patch increases the KEXEC_SEGMENT_MAX limit from 8
  to 16.

4ae362be50 [PATCH] kdump: read previous kernel's memory
- Moving the crash_dump.c file to arch dependent part as kmap_atomic_pfn is
  specific to i386 and highmem may not exist in other archs.

- Use ioremap for x86_64 to map the previous kernel memory.

- In copy_oldmem_page(), we now directly copy to the user/kernel buffer and
  avoid the unneccesary copy to a kmalloc'd page.

ec9ce0dbaa [PATCH] kdump: x86_64 save cpu registers upon crash
- Saving the cpu registers of all cpus before booting in to the crash
  kernel.

- crash_setup_regs will save the registers of the cpu on which panic has
  occured.  One of the concerns ppc64 folks raised is that after capturing the
  register states, one should not pop the current call frame and push new one.
   Hence it has been inlined.  More call frames later get pushed on to stack
  (machine_crash_shutdown() and machine_kexec()), but one will not want to
  backtrace those.

- Not very sure about the CFI annotations.  With this patch I am getting
  decent backtrace with gdb.  Assuming, compiler has generated enough
  debugging information for crash_kexec().  Coding crash_setup_regs() in pure
  assembly makes it tricky because then it can not be inlined and we don't
  want to return back after capturing register states we don't want to pop
  this call frame.

- Saving the non-panicing cpus registers will be done in the NMI handler
  while shooting down them in machine_crash_shutdown.

- Introducing CRASH_DUMP option in Kconfig for x86_64.

cffe632a25 [PATCH] kdump: x86_64 kexec on panic
)

From: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@in.ibm.com>

- Implementing the machine_crash_shutdown for x86_64 which will be called by
  crash_kexec (called in case of a panic, sysrq etc.).  Here we do things
  similar to i386.  Disable the interrupts, shootdown the cpus and shutdown
  LAPIC and IOAPIC.

Changes in this version:

- As the Eric's APIC initialization patches are reverted back, reintroducing
  LAPIC and IOAPIC shutdown.

- Added some comments on CPU hotplug, modified code as suggested by Andi
  kleen.
