f018b36f3e [PATCH] powerpc: Don't start secondary CPUs in a UP && KEXEC kernel
Because smp_release_cpus() is built for SMP || KEXEC, it's not safe to
unconditionally call it from setup_system(). On a UP && KEXEC kernel we'll
start up the secondary CPUs which will then go beserk and we die.

Simple fix is to conditionally call smp_release_cpus() in setup_system(). With
that in place we don't need the dummy definition of smp_release_cpus() because
all call sites are #ifdef'ed either SMP or KEXEC.

092b8f3488 powerpc: Keep xtime and gettimeofday in sync
This fixes a regression which was introduced by moving ppc32 to use
the same sort of lockless gettimeofday as ppc64 has been using for
some time.  This involves getting the timebase and performing some
simple arithmetic to convert it to seconds and microseconds.  However,
the factor and offset used there weren't being updated when NTP
varied the tick length using adjtimex.  64-bit didn't notice the
problem because it had a hook in the 32-bit adjtimex compat routine
that attempted to work out what the generic timekeeping code would
do and alter the factor and offset to match.  However, that code
was very complex and it wasn't clear that it still matched what the
generic code would do.

Now we use the generic current_tick_length() routine that was recently
added to check that the current tick will be as long as we expect; if
not we recompute the factor and offset.  This keeps gettimeofday and
xtime in sync.  In addition we check that gettimeofday hasn't got ahead
of xtime on each timer interrupt; if it has, we resync.

35b73ceb9a [PATCH] ACPI: fix vendor resource length computation
acpi_rs_get_list_length() needs to account for all the vendor-defined data
bytes.  Failing to include these causes buffers to be sized too small,
which causes slab corruption when we later convert AML to resources and run
off the end of the buffer.

This causes slab corruption on machines that use ACPI vendor-defined
resources.  All HP ia64 machines do, and I'm told that some NEC machines
may as well.

54330456b2 [PATCH] s390: smp initialization speed
The last changes that introduced the additional_cpus command line parameter
also introduced a regression regarding smp initialization speed.  In
smp_setup_cpu_possible_map() cpu_present_map is set to the same value as
cpu_possible_map.  Especially that means that bits in the present map will be
set for cpus that are not present.  This will cause a slow down in the initial
cpu_up() loop in smp_init() since trying to take cpus online that aren't
present takes a while.

Fix this by setting only bits for present cpus in cpu_present_map and set
cpu_present_map to cpu_possible_map in smp_cpus_done().

4bbf39c29b [PATCH] Introduce CONFIG_DEFAULT_MIGRATION_COST
Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> wrote:

  The boot sequence on s390 sometimes takes ages and we spend a very long
  time (up to one or two minutes) in calibrate_migration_costs.  The time
  spent there differs from boot to boot.  Also the calculated costs differ
  a lot.  I've seen differences by up to a factor of 15 (yes, factor not
  percent).  Also I doubt that making these measurements make much sense on
  a completely virtualized architecture where you cannot tell how much cpu
  time you will get anyway.

So introduce the CONFIG_DEFAULT_MIGRATION_COST method for an architecture
to set the scheduler migration costs.  This turns off automatic detection
of migration costs.  Makes sense on virtual platforms, where migration
costs are hard to measure accurately.

b2f49033d8 [PATCH] fix deadlock in ext2
Fix a deadlock possible in the ext2 file system implementation.  This
deadlock occurs when a file is removed from an ext2 file system which was
mounted with the "sync" mount option.

The problem is that ext2_xattr_delete_inode() was invoking the routine,
sync_dirty_buffer(), using a buffer head which was previously locked via
lock_buffer().  The first thing that sync_dirty_buffer() does is to lock
the buffer head that it was passed.  It does this via lock_buffer().  Oops.

The solution is to unlock the buffer head in ext2_xattr_delete_inode()
before invoking sync_dirty_buffer().  This makes the code in
ext2_xattr_delete_inode() obey the same locking rules as all other callers
of sync_dirty_buffer() in the ext2 file system implementation.

726c14bf49 [PATCH] Provide an interface for getting the current tick length
This provides an interface for arch code to find out how many
nanoseconds are going to be added on to xtime by the next call to
do_timer.  The value returned is a fixed-point number in 52.12 format
in nanoseconds.  The reason for this format is that it gives the
full precision that the timekeeping code is using internally.

The motivation for this is to fix a problem that has arisen on 32-bit
powerpc in that the value returned by do_gettimeofday drifts apart
from xtime if NTP is being used.  PowerPC is now using a lockless
do_gettimeofday based on reading the timebase register and performing
some simple arithmetic.  (This method of getting the time is also
exported to userspace via the VDSO.)  However, the factor and offset
it uses were calculated based on the nominal tick length and weren't
being adjusted when NTP varied the tick length.

Note that 64-bit powerpc has had the lockless do_gettimeofday for a
long time now.  It also had an extremely hairy routine that got called
from the 32-bit compat routine for adjtimex, which adjusted the
factor and offset according to what it thought the timekeeping code
was going to do.  Not only was this only called if a 32-bit task did
adjtimex (i.e. not if a 64-bit task did adjtimex), it was also
duplicating computations from kernel/timer.c and it wasn't clear that
it was (still) correct.

The simple solution is to ask the timekeeping code how long the
current jiffy will be on each timer interrupt, after calling
do_timer.  If this jiffy will be a different length from the last one,
we then need to compute new values for the factor and offset used in
the lockless do_gettimeofday.  In this way we can keep xtime and
do_gettimeofday in sync, even when NTP is varying the tick length.

Note that when adjtimex varies the tick length, it almost always
introduces the variation from the next tick on.  The only case I could
see where adjtimex would vary the length of the current tick is when
an old-style adjtime adjustment is being cancelled.  (It's not clear
to me why the adjustment has to be cancelled immediately rather than
from the next tick on.)  Thus I don't see any real need for a hook in
adjtimex; the rare case of an old-style adjustment being cancelled can
be fixed up at the next tick.

dd942ae331 [PATCH] Handle all and empty zones when setting up custom zonelists for mbind
The memory allocator doesn't like empty zones (which have an
uninitialized freelist), so a x86-64 system with a node fully
in GFP_DMA32 only would crash on mbind.

Fix that up by putting all possible zones as fallback into the zonelist
and skipping the empty ones.

In fact the code always enough allocated space for all zones,
but only used it for the highest. This change just uses all the
memory that was allocated before.

This should work fine for now, but whoever implements node hot removal
needs to fix this somewhere else too (or make sure zone datastructures
by itself never go away, only their memory)

2aed711a39 [PATCH] x86_64: Always pass full number of nodes to NUMA hash computation
Previously the numa hash code would be confused by holes in the node space
and stop early. This is the first part of the fix for the non boot issue
with empty nodes on Opterons.
