9a523d427d FRV: Stop gcc from generating uninitialised variable warnings after BUG()
Stop gcc from generating uninitialised variable warnings after BUG().
The problem is that FRV's call into its gdbstub appears to return (if
the function is marked noreturn, then the compiler is under no
obligation to pass it a return address, and so GDB won't know where the
bug happened).

To get around this, we make the do...while wrapper in _debug_bug_trap()
an endless loop from which there's no escape.

c9503e0fe0 ipv4: Limit size of route cache hash table
Right now we have no upper limit on the size of the route cache hash table.
On a 128GB POWER6 box it ends up as 32MB:

    IP route cache hash table entries: 4194304 (order: 9, 33554432 bytes)

It would be nice to cap this for memory consumption reasons, but a massive
hashtable also causes a significant spike when measuring OS jitter.

With a 32MB hashtable and 4 million entries, rt_worker_func is taking
5 ms to complete. On another system with more memory it's taking 14 ms.
Even though rt_worker_func does call cond_sched() to limit its impact,
in an HPC environment we want to keep all sources of OS jitter to a minimum.

With the patch applied we limit the number of entries to 512k which
can still be overriden by using the rt_entries boot option:

    IP route cache hash table entries: 524288 (order: 6, 4194304 bytes)

With this patch rt_worker_func now takes 0.460 ms on the same system.

e63b6a6c0f Btrfs: Fix a trivial warning using max() of u64 vs ULL.
A small warning popped up on ia64 because inode-map.c was comparing a
u64 object id with the ULL FIRST_FREE_OBJECTID.  My first thought was
that all the OBJECTID constants should contain the u64 cast because
btrfs code deals entirely in u64s.  But then I saw how large that was,
and figured I'd just fix the max() call.

193f284d49 Btrfs: ratelimit IO error printks
Btrfs has printks for various IO errors, including bad checksums and
mismatches between what we expect the block headers to contain and what
we actually find on the disk.

Longer term we need a real reporting mechanism for this, but for now
printk is going to have to do.

the shrink completes successfully.  In the process, it introduces a new

495dce123c ixgbe: Fix WoL functionality for 82599 KX4 devices
The current code writes the PME enabled bit in PCI config space which is
wrong.  This was needed for pre-release hardware, and was not removed from
the driver.  Also, we need to clear the WUS (wake up status) after we
resume.  Otherwise we can't wake for the same event again since it's still
asserted in the hardware.  Plus, the multicast lists were being written
improperly, causing multicast WoL to fail.

b6a8d95c95 frv: convert frv to use __HEAD and HEAD_TEXT macros.
This has the consequence of changing the section name use for head
code from ".text.head" to ".head.text".  Since this commit changes all
users in the architecture, this change should be harmless.

c80d471a47 Add new HEAD_TEXT_SECTION macro.
This patch is preparation for replacing all uses of ".head.text" or
".text.head" in the kernel with macros, so that the section name can
later be changed without having to touch a lot of the kernel.

Since some linker scripts do more complex things than referencing
HEAD_TEXT, we add a HEAD_TEXT_SECTION macro that just contains the
actual name.

I've defined HEAD_TEXT_SECTION in a new header,
include/linux/section-names.h, so that this section name only needs to
appear in one place.  I anticipate creating similar macro structures
for a number of other section names.

The long-term goal here is to be able to change the kernel's magic
section names to those that are compatible with -ffunction-sections
-fdata-sections.  This requires renaming all magic sections with names
of the form ".text.foo".
