0ff922452d [PATCH] per-task-delay-accounting: sync block I/O and swapin delay collection
Unlike earlier iterations of the delay accounting patches, now delays are only
collected for the actual I/O waits rather than try and cover the delays seen
in I/O submission paths.

Account separately for block I/O delays incurred as a result of swapin page
faults whose frequency can be affected by the task/process' rss limit.  Hence
swapin delays can act as feedback for rss limit changes independent of I/O
priority changes.

ca74e92b46 [PATCH] per-task-delay-accounting: setup
Initialization code related to collection of per-task "delay" statistics which
measure how long it had to wait for cpu, sync block io, swapping etc.  The
collection of statistics and the interface are in other patches.  This patch
sets up the data structures and allows the statistics collection to be
disabled through a kernel boot parameter.

b04ea3cebf [PATCH] Fix security check for joint context= and fscontext= mount options
After some discussion on the actual meaning of the filesystem class
security check in try context mount it was determined that the checks for
the context= mount options were not correct if fscontext mount option had
already been used.

When labeling the superblock we should be checking relabel_from and
relabel_to.  But if the superblock has already been labeled (with
fscontext) then context= is actually labeling the inodes, and so we should
be checking relabel_from and associate.  This patch fixes which checks are
called depending on the mount options.

3a5f5e488c [PATCH] lockdep: core, fix rq-lock handling on __ARCH_WANT_UNLOCKED_CTXSW
On platforms that have __ARCH_WANT_UNLOCKED_CTXSW set and want to implement
lock validator support there's a bug in rq->lock handling: in this case we
dont 'carry over' the runqueue lock into another task - but still we did a
spinlock_release() of it.  Fix this by making the spinlock_release() in
context_switch() dependent on !__ARCH_WANT_UNLOCKED_CTXSW.

(Reported by Ralf Baechle on MIPS, which has __ARCH_WANT_UNLOCKED_CTXSW.
This fixes a lockdep-internal BUG message on such platforms.)

c259cc2812 [PATCH] Convert idr's internal locking to _irqsave variant
Currently, the code in lib/idr.c uses a bare spin_lock(&idp->lock) to do
internal locking.  This is a nasty trap for code that might call idr
functions from different contexts; for example, it seems perfectly
reasonable to call idr_get_new() from process context and idr_remove() from
interrupt context -- but with the current locking this would lead to a
potential deadlock.

The simplest fix for this is to just convert the idr locking to use
spin_lock_irqsave().

In particular, this fixes a very complicated locking issue detected by
lockdep, involving the ib_ipoib driver's priv->lock and dev->_xmit_lock,
which get involved with the ib_sa module's query_idr.lock.

6fbe82a952 [PATCH] reiserfs: fix handling of device names with /'s in them
On systems with block devices containing a slash (virtual dasd, cciss,
etc), reiserfs will fail to initialize /proc/fs/reiserfs/<dev> due to it
being interpreted as a subdirectory.  The generic block device code changes
the / to !  for use in the sysfs tree.  This patch uses that convention.

Remove the scx200_gpio's cdev-array & ksalloc, replacing it with a single

cdev_put is commented out since kernel wont link properly with it, and its

ae2d1f2f5b [PATCH] scx200_gpio: 1 cdev for N minors: cleanup, prep
this patch is mostly cleanup of scx200_gpio :
- drop #include <linux/config.h>
- s/DEVNAME/DRVNAME/    apparently a convention
- replace variable num_pins with  #define MAX_PINS
- s/dev/devid/   to clarify that its a dev_t, not a struct device dev.
- move devid = MKDEV(major,0)  into branch where its needed.

2 minor 'changes' :

- reduced MAX_PINS from 64 to 32.  Ive never tested other pins, and
  theyre all multiplexed with other functions, some of which may be in use
  on my soekris 4801, so I dont know what testing should yield.

- +EXPORT_SYMBOL(scx200_access);

  This exposes the driver's vtable, which another driver can use along
  with #include <linux/nsc_gpio.h>, to manipulate a gpio-pin.

thing for their automated test setups.

The Kconfig comment is largely lifted from comments in rd.c, and hopefully
this will increase the chances of making folks aware that the default value
often isn't a great choice here (for increasing values of PAGE_SIZE, even

prevents this from happening, even though such symbols still won't come out

A better fix would be to not use a fixed-size buffer, but it's probably not
worth the trouble.  (Modversion'ed symbols even have a length limit of 60.)

b076bb02ee [PATCH] uml: tidy biarch gcc support
On top of the previous biarch changes for UML, this makes the preprocessor
changes a bit cleaner.  Specify the 64-bit build in CPPFLAGS on the x86_64
SUBARCH, rather than #undef'ing i386.  Compile-tested with i386 and x86_64
SUBARCHs.

a5df0d1a2c [PATCH] uml: tidy longjmp macro
The UML_SETJMP macro was requiring its users to pass in a argument which it
could supply itself, since it wasn't used outside that invocation of the
macro.

8477b55ba1 [PATCH] i386: remove redundant might_sleep() in user accessors.
On i386, the user space accessor functions copy_from/to_user() both invoke
might_sleep(), do a quick sanity check, and then pass the work on to their
__copy_from/to_user() counterparts, which again invoke might_sleep().
Given that no actual work happens between these two calls, it is best to
eliminate one of the redundant might_sleep()s.

e78a887a59 [PATCH] i386 kexec: allow the kexec on panic support to compile on voyager
This patch removes the foolish assumption that SMP implied local apics.
That assumption is not-true on the Voyager subarch.  This makes that
dependency explicit, and allows the code to build.

What gets disabled is just an optimization to get better crash dumps so the
support should work if there is a kernel that will initialization on the
voyager subarch under those harsh conditions.

Hopefully we can figure out how to initialize apics in init_IRQ and remove
the need to disable io_apics and this dependency.

b701533109 [PATCH] i386: handle_BUG(): don't print garbage if debug info unavailable
handle_BUG() tries to print file and line number even when they're not
available (CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE is not set.) Change this to print a
message stating info is unavailable instead of printing a misleading
message.

c38c8db722 [PATCH] ia64: race flushing icache in COW path
There is a race condition that showed up in a threaded JIT environment.
The situation is that a process with a JIT code page forks, so the page is
marked read-only, then some threads are created in the child.  One of the
threads attempts to add a new code block to the JIT page, so a
copy-on-write fault is taken, and the kernel allocates a new page, copies
the data, installs the new pte, and then calls lazy_mmu_prot_update() to
flush caches to make sure that the icache and dcache are in sync.
Unfortunately, the other thread runs right after the new pte is installed,
but before the caches have been flushed.  It tries to execute some old JIT
code that was already in this page, but it sees some garbage in the i-cache
from the previous users of the new physical page.

Fix: we must make the caches consistent before installing the pte.  This is
an ia64 only fix because lazy_mmu_prot_update() is a no-op on all other
architectures.

__vunmap must not rely on area->nr_pages when picking the release methode
for area->pages.  It may be too small when __vmalloc_area_node failed early
due to lacking memory.  Instead, use a flag in vmstruct to differentiate.
