The nommu binfmt code uses ksize() for pointers returned from do_mmap()
which is wrong. This converts the call-sites to use the nommu specific
kobjsize() function which works as expected.

Provide documentation of the kernel-doc documentation conventions oriented
to kernel hackers.
Since I figure that there will be more people reading this
kernel-doc-nano-HOWTO.txt file who are kernel developers focused on the
rest of the kernel, than there will be readers of this file who are
documentation developers extracting that embedded kernel-doc
documentation, I have taken the liberty of making the new section added
here:
How to format kernel-doc comments
the first section of the kernel-doc-nano-HOWTO.txt file.
This first section is intended to introduce, motivate and provide basic
usage of the kernel-doc mechanism for kernel hackers developing other
portions of the kernel.

I made a change to u-boot that used the FP (Fractional Part) field of BRGR
to achieve more accurate baud rate generation. Unfortunately, the
atmel_serial driver looks at the whole BRGR register when trying to detect
the baud rate that the port is currently running at, so setting FP to a
nonzero value breaks the baud rate detection.
I'll sit on the u-boot patch for a while longer, but this is clearly a
bug in the atmel_serial driver which should be fixed.

When posting:
[PATCH 1/8] Scaling msgmni to the amount of lowmem
(see http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/2/11/171), I have added a KERN_INFO message
that is output each time msgmni is recomputed.
In http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/4/29/575 Tony Luck complained that this
message references an ipc namespace address that is useless.
I first thought of using an audit_log instead of a printk, as suggested by
Serge Hallyn. But unfortunately, we do not have any other information
than the namespace address to provide here too. So I chose to move the
message and output it only at boot time, removing the reference to the
namespace.

When posting:
[PATCH 1/8] Scaling msgmni to the amount of lowmem
(see http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/637849/) I changed the
MSGPOOL value to make it fit what is said in the man pages (i.e. a size
in bytes).
But Michael Kerrisk rightly complained that this change could affect the
ABI. So I'm posting this patch to make MSGPOOL expressed back in Kbytes.
Michael, on his side, has fixed the man page.

If cpu specific cpufreq driver(i.e. longrun) has "setpolicy" function,
governor object isn't set into cpufreq_policy object at "__cpufreq_set_policy"
function in driver/cpufreq/cpufreq.c .
This causes a null object access at "store_scaling_setspeed" and
"show_scaling_setspeed" function in driver/cpufreq/cpufreq.c when reading or
writing through /sys interface (ex. cat
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_setspeed)

Adding a nonexistent cpu to a cpuset will be omitted quietly. It should
return -EINVAL.
Example: (real_nr_cpus <= 4 < NR_CPUS or cpu#4 was just offline)
# cat cpus
0-1
# /bin/echo 4 > cpus
# /bin/echo $?
0
# cat cpus
#
The same occurs when add a nonexistent mem.
This patch will fix this bug.

/proc/pid/pagemap
Fix a bug in add_to_pagemap. Previously, since pm->out was a char *,
put_user was only copying 1 byte of every PFN, resulting in the top 7
bytes of each PFN not being copied. By requiring that reads be a multiple
of 8 bytes, I can make pm->out and pm->end u64*s instead of char*s, which
makes put_user work properly, and also simplifies the logic in
add_to_pagemap a bit.

Consider you added a 'c foo:bar r' permission to some cgroup and then (a
bit later) 'c'foo:bar w' for it. After this you'll see the
c foo:bar r
c foo:bar w
lines in a devices.list file.
Another example - consider you added 10 'c foo:bar r' permissions to some
cgroup (e.g. by mistake). After this you'll see 10 c foo:bar r lines in
a list file.
This is weird. This situation also has one more annoying consequence.
Having many items in a white list makes permissions checking slower, sine
it has to walk a longer list.
The proposal is to merge permissions for items, that correspond to the
same device.

Two functions, that need to get a device_cgroup from a task (they are
devcgroup_inode_permission and devcgroup_inode_mknod) make it in a strange
way:
They get a css_set from task, then a subsys_state from css_set, then a
cgroup from the state and then a subsys_state again from the cgroup.
Besides, the devices_subsys_id is read from memory, whilst there's a
enum-ed constant for it.
Optimize this part a bit:
1. Get the subsys_stats form the task and be done - no 2 extra
dereferences,
2. Use the device_subsys_id constant, not the value from memory
(i.e. one less dereference).

simple_read_from_buffer copies to user space memory.

This patch makes os_get_task_size locate the bottom of the address space,
as well as the top. This is for systems which put a lower limit on mmap
addresses. It works by manually scanning pages from zero onwards until a
valid page is found.
Because the bottom of the address space may not be zero, it's not
sufficient to assume the top of the address space is the size of the
address space. The size is the difference between the top address and
bottom address.
[jdike@addtoit.com: changed the name to reflect that this function is
supposed to return the top of the process address space, not its size and
changed the return value to reflect that. Also some minor formatting
changes]

kobjsize() has been abusing page->index as a method for sorting out
compound order, which blows up both for page cache pages, and SLOB's
reuse of the index in struct slob_page.
Presently we are not able to accurately size arbitrary pointers that
don't come from kmalloc(), so the best we can do is sort out the
compound order from the head page if it's a compound page, or default
to 0-order if it's impossible to ksize() the object.
Obviously this leaves quite a bit to be desired in terms of object
sizing accuracy, but the behaviour is unchanged over the existing
implementation, while fixing the page->index oopses originally reported
here:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=121127773325245&w=2
Accuracy could also be improved by having SLUB and SLOB both set PG_slab
on ksizeable pages, rather than just handling the __GFP_COMP cases
irregardless of the PG_slab setting, as made possibly with Pekka's
patches:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=121139439900534&w=2
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=121139440000537&w=2
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=121139440000540&w=2
This is primarily a bugfix for nommu systems for 2.6.26, with the aim
being to gradually kill off kobjsize() and its particular brand of
object abuse entirely.

brk: check the lower bound properly
The check in sys_brk() on minimum value the brk might have must take
CONFIG_COMPAT_BRK setting into account. When this option is turned on
(i.e. we support ancient legacy binaries, e.g. libc5-linked stuff), the
lower bound on brk value is mm->end_code, otherwise the brk start is
allowed to be arbitrarily shifted.

The page decrypt calls in ecryptfs_write() are both pointless and buggy.
Pointless because ecryptfs_get_locked_page() has already brought the page
up to date, and buggy because prior mmap writes will just be blown away by
the decrypt call.
This patch also removes the declaration of a now-nonexistent function
ecryptfs_write_zeros().
Thanks to Eric Sandeen and David Kleikamp for helping to track this
down.

This version is a bit of a whopper. This version brings a few new checks,
improvements to a number of checks mostly through modifications to the
way types are parsed, several fixes to quote/comment handling, as well as
the usual slew of fixes for false positives.
Of note:
- return is not a function and is now reported,
- preprocessor directive detection is loosened to match C99 standard,
- we now intuit new type modifiers, and
- comment handling is much improved
Andy Whitcroft (18):
Version: 0.19
fix up a couple of missing newlines in reports
colon to parenthesis spacing varies on asm
values: #include is a preprocessor statement
quotes: fix single character quotes at line end
add typedef exception for the non-pointer "function types"
kerneldoc parameters must be on one line, relax line length
types: word boundary is not always required
improved #define bracketing reports
uninitialized_var is an annotation not a function name
possible types: add possible modifier handling
possible types: fastcall is a type modifier
types: unsigned is not a modifier on all types
static/external initialisation to zero should allow modifiers
checkpatch: fix recognition of preprocessor directives -- part 2
comments: fix inter-hunk comment tracking
return is not a function
do not report include/asm/foo.h use in include/linux/foo.h
return is not a function -- tighten test

Some drivers are using too generic "serial" name for driver_name, this
might cause issues, like this:
Freescale QUICC Engine UART device driver
proc_dir_entry 'serial' already registered

^^ The board is using ucc_uart.c and 8250.c, both registered as
"serial".
This patch fixes two drivers that are using "serial" for driver_name and
not "ttyS" for dev_name. Drivers that are using "ttyS" for dev_name, will
conflict anyway, so we don't bother with these.

If a block is computed (rather than read) then a check/repair operation
may be lead to believe that the data on disk is correct, when infact it
isn't. So only compute blocks for failed devices.
This issue has been around since at least 2.6.12, but has become harder to
hit in recent kernels since most reads bypass the cache.
echo repair > /sys/block/mdN/md/sync_action will set the parity blocks to the
correct state.

During the initial array synchronization process there is a window between
when a prexor operation is scheduled to a specific stripe and when it
completes for a sync_request to be scheduled to the same stripe. When
this happens the prexor completes and the stripe is unconditionally marked
"insync", effectively canceling the sync_request for the stripe. Prior to
2.6.23 this was not a problem because the prexor operation was done under
sh->lock. The effect in older kernels being that the prexor would still
erroneously mark the stripe "insync", but sync_request would be held off
and re-mark the stripe as "!in_sync".
Change the write completion logic to not mark the stripe "in_sync" if a
prexor was performed. The effect of the change is to sometimes not set
STRIPE_INSYNC. The worst this can do is cause the resync to stall waiting
for STRIPE_INSYNC to be set. If this were happening, then STRIPE_SYNCING
would be set and handle_issuing_new_read_requests would cause all
available blocks to eventually be read, at which point prexor would never
be used on that stripe any more and STRIPE_INSYNC would eventually be set.
echo repair > /sys/block/mdN/md/sync_action will correct arrays that may
have lost this race.

This addresses other oopsing paths in "spidev" by changing how it manages
refcounting. It decouples the lifecycle of the per-device data from the
class device (not just the spi device):
- Use class_{create,destroy} not class_{register,unregister}.
- Use device_{create,destroy} not device_{register,unregister}.
- Free the per-device data only when TWO conditions are true:
* Driver is unbound from underlying SPI device, and
* Device is no longer open (new)
Also, spi_{get,set}_drvdata not dev_{get,set}_drvdata for simpler code.
