As davem points out, this wasn't such a great idea. There may be some code
which does:
size = 1024*1024;
while (kmalloc(size, ...) == 0)
size /= 2;
which will now explode.

Current kernel has a couple of sneaky bugs in the ppc64 hugetlb code that
cause huge pages to be potentially left stale in the hash table and TLBs
(improperly invalidated), with all the nasty consequences that can have.
One is that we forgot to set the "secondary" bit in the hash PTEs when
hashing a huge page in the secondary bucket (fortunately very rare).
The other one is on non-LPAR machines (like Apple G5s), flush_hash_range()
which is used to flush a batch of PTEs simply did not work for huge pages.
Historically, our huge page code didn't batch, but this was changed without
fixing this routine. This patch fixes both.

Bhavesh P. Davda <bhavesh@avaya.com> noticed that SIGKILL wouldn't
properly kill a process under just the right cicumstances: a stopped
task that already had another signal queued would get the SIGKILL
queued onto the shared queue, and there it would remain until SIGCONT.
This simplifies the signal acceptance logic, and fixes the bug in the
process.
Losely based on an earlier patch by Bhavesh.

I believe the change that broke things is introduction of
pci_fixup_parent_subordinate_busnr().
The patch here does two things:
- hunk #1 should fix the problems you've seen when you boot without
additional "pci" kernel options;
- hunk #2 supposedly fixes boot with "pci=assign-busses" option which
otherwise hangs Acer TM81xx machines as reported.
Please try this with and without "pci=assign-busses". If it boots,
I'd like to see 'lspci -vvx' for both cases.

This patch fixes a number of bugs. It cannot be reasonably split up in
multiple fixes, since all bugs interact with each other and affect the same
function:
Bug #1:
The event cache code cannot be called while a lock is held. Therefore, the
call to ip_conntrack_event_cache() within ip_ct_refresh_acct() needs to be
moved outside of the locked section. This fixes a number of 2.6.14-rcX
oops and deadlock reports.
Bug #2:
We used to call ct_add_counters() for unconfirmed connections without
holding a lock. Since the add operations are not atomic, we could race
with another CPU.
Bug #3:
ip_ct_refresh_acct() lost REFRESH events in some cases where refresh
(and the corresponding event) are desired, but no accounting shall be
performed. Both, evenst and accounting implicitly depended on the skb
parameter bein non-null. We now re-introduce a non-accounting
"ip_ct_refresh()" variant to explicitly state the desired behaviour.

Since the introduction of TSO pcount a year ago, it has been possible
for tcp_fragment() to cause packets_out to decrease. Prior to that,
tcp_retrans_try_collapse() was the only way for that to happen on the
retransmission path.
When this happens with Reno, it is possible for sasked_out to become
invalid because it is only an estimate and not tied to any particular
packet on the retransmission queue.
Therefore we need to adjust sacked_out as well as left_out in the Reno
case. The following patch does exactly that.
This bug is pretty difficult to trigger in practice though since you
need a SACKless peer with a retransmission that occurs just as the
cached MTU value expires.

Problem: In some circumstances, bd_claim() is returning the wrong error
code.
If we try to swapon an unused block device that isn't swap formatted, we
get -EINVAL. But if that same block device is already mounted, we instead
get -EBUSY, even though it still isn't a valid swap device.
This issue came up on the busybox list trying to get the error message
from "swapon -a" right. If a swap device is already enabled, we get -EBUSY,
and we shouldn't report this as an error. But we can't distinguish the two
-EBUSY conditions, which are very different errors.
In the code, bd_claim() returns either 0 or -EBUSY, but in this case busy
means "somebody other than sys_swapon has already claimed this", and
_that_ means this block device can't be a valid swap device. So return
-EINVAL there.

Following i386, we should maybe refuse trying to fault in pages when we're
doing atomic operations, because to handle the fault we could need to take
already taken spinlocks.
Also, if we're doing an atomic operation (in the sense of in_atomic()) we're
surely in kernel mode and we're surely going to handle adequately the failed
fault, so it's safe to behave this way.
Currently, on UML SMP is rarely used, and we don't support PREEMPT, so this is
unlikely to create problems right now, but it might in the future.

Things are breaking horribly with sysrq called in interrupt context. I want

The current code doesn't handle well general protection faults on the host -
it thinks that cr2 is always the address of a page fault. While actually, on
general protection faults, that address is not accessible, so we'd better
assume we couldn't satisfy the fault. Currently instead we think we've fixed
it, so we go back, retry the instruction and fault again endlessly.
This leads to the kernel hanging when doing copy_from_user(dest, -1, ...) in
TT mode, since reading *(-1) causes a GFP, and we don't support kernel
preemption.

The SMU is the "system controller" chip used by Apple recent G5 machines
including the iMac G5. It drives things like fans, i2c busses, real time
clock, etc...
The current kernel contains a very crude driver that doesn't do much more
than reading the real time clock synchronously. This is a completely
rewritten driver that provides interrupt based command queuing, a userland
interface, and an i2c/smbus driver for accessing the devices hanging off
the SMU i2c busses like temperature sensors. This driver is a basic block
for upcoming work on thermal control for those machines, among others.

The numa slab allocator may allocate pages from foreign nodes onto the
lists for a particular node if a node runs out of memory. Inspecting the
slab->nodeid field will not reflect that the page is now in use for the
slabs of another node.
This patch fixes that issue by adding a node field to free_block so that
the caller can indicate which node currently uses a slab.
Also removes the check for the current node from kmalloc_cache_node since
the process may shift later to another node which may lead to an allocation
on another node than intended.
