We should generally prefer to return ERESTARTNOHAND rather than EINTR,
so that processes with unhandled signals that get ignored don't return
EINTR.
This can help with X startup issues:
Fatal server error:
xf86OpenConsole: VT_WAITACTIVE failed: Interrupted system call
although the real fix is having the X server always retry EINTR
regardless (since EINTR does happen for signals that have handlers
installed). Keithp has a patch for that.
Regardless, ERESTARTNOHAND is the correct thing to use.

The PCI device table in the powermac IDE driver isn't properly
terminated. Depending on how your kernel is linked and other random
factors, you can end up with this driver matched against any other PCI
device in your system, possibly crashing at boot.
Thanks to Heikki for tracking this down with me, the bug have been there
for some time, though it rarely hurts due to luck. In this case, the
switch from .22 to .23-rc9 is causing it to show up due to differences
in the resulting layout of .data I suppose.

When pinning and unpinning pagetables, we must protect them against
being used by other CPUs, lest they see the pagetable in an
intermediate read-only-but-not-pinned state.
When using split pte locks, doing this properly would require taking
all the pte locks for the pagetable while pinning, but this may overflow
the PREEMPT_BITS part of the preempt counter if the process has mapped
more than about 512M of memory.
However, failing to take the pte locks causes write-protect faults when
the pageout code is trying to clear the Access bit on a pte which is part
of a freshy created and still being pinned process after fork.
This is a short-term fix until the problem is solved properly.

It is ok to call prefetch() function with NULL argument, as specifically
commented in include/linux/prefetch.h. But in standard C, it is invalid
to dereference NULL pointer (see C99 standard 6.5.3.2 paragraph 4 and
note #84).
prefetch() has a memory reference for its argument.
Newer gcc versions (4.3 and above) will use that to conclude that "x"
argument is non-null and thus wreaking havok everywhere prefetch() was
inlined.
Fixed by removing cast and changing asm constraint.
[ It seems in theory gcc 4.2 could miscompile this too; although no
cases known. In 2.6.24 we should probably switch to
__builtin_prefetch() instead, but this is a simpler fix for now.

Gurudas Pai reports kernel BUG at arch/i386/mm/highmem.c:15! below
sys_remap_file_pages, while running Oracle database test on x86 in 6GB
RAM: kunmap thinks we're in_interrupt because the preempt count has
wrapped.
That's because __do_fault expected to unmap page_table, but one of its
two callers do_nonlinear_fault already unmapped it: let do_linear_fault
unmap it first too, and then there's no need to pass the page_table arg
down.
Why have we been so slow to notice this? Probably through forgetting
that the mapping_cap_account_dirty test means that sys_remap_file_pages
nowadays only goes the full nonlinear vma route on a few memory-backed
filesystems like ramfs, tmpfs and hugetlbfs.
[ It also depends on CONFIG_HIGHPTE, so it becomes even harder to
trigger in practice. Many who have need of large memory have probably
migrated to x86-64..

The PCI-E slot on T1000 connects directly to the Fire PCI chip with no
intervening bridges visible in the OBP tree.
Unfortunately the bus numbering of the device in that slot is
different (2) from the PCI host controller (0), and thus the
pci_bus_{read,write}_config_*() calls don't work out.
Complicating things further the Fire PCI controller has no config
space it responds to either.
For now treat this case specially so that devices in the slot work.
Longer term we need to perhaps cons up a dummy bridge between the Fire
and the PCI-E slot so that the bus hierarchy is complete inside of the
kernel and thus the bus numbering all works out right.
