After doing some tests this seems to be the best variant for s390 and
should be correct as well. With gcc 4.2.1 we get the following kernel
image sizes using the default configuration:
atomic_t type volatile, atomic_read/set defines 5311824 bytes
atomic_t type int, atomic_read/set defines 5270864 bytes
atomic_t type int, atomic_read/set inline asm 5279056 bytes

There are several s390 diagnose calls, which must be executed below the
2GB memory boundary. In order to enforce this, those diagnoses must be
compiled into the kernel. Currently diag 14 can be called within the
vmur kernel module from addresses above 2GB. This leads to specification
exceptions. This patch moves diag10, diag14 and diag210 into the new
diag.c file.

parameter wasn't set. This regression got slightly introduced with commit
b7471c6da94d30d3deadc55986cc38d1ff57f9ca.

Use cpu_relax() in the busy loops, as atomic_read() doesn't automatically
imply volatility for i386 and x86_64. x86_64 doesn't have this issue because
it open-codes the while loop in smpboot.c:smp_callin() itself that already
uses cpu_relax().
For i386, however, smpboot.c:smp_callin() calls wait_for_init_deassert()
which is buggy for mach-default and mach-es7000 cases.
[ I test-built a kernel -- smp_callin() itself got inlined in its only
callsite, smpboot.c:start_secondary() -- and the relevant piece of
code disassembles to the following:
0xc1019704 <start_secondary+12>: mov 0xc144c4c8,%eax
0xc1019709 <start_secondary+17>: test %eax,%eax
0xc101970b <start_secondary+19>: je 0xc1019709 <start_secondary+17>
init_deasserted (at 0xc144c4c8) gets fetched into %eax only once and
then we loop over the test of the stale value in the register only,
so these look like real bugs to me. With the fix below, this becomes:
0xc1019706 <start_secondary+14>: pause
0xc1019708 <start_secondary+16>: cmpl $0x0,0xc144c4c8
0xc101970f <start_secondary+23>: je 0xc1019706 <start_secondary+14>
which looks nice and healthy. ]

The underflow exception cases were wrong.
This is one weird area of ieee1754 handling in that the underflow
behavior changes based upon whether underflow is enabled in the trap
enable mask of the FPU control register. As a specific case the Sparc
V9 manual gives us the following description:
--------------------
If UFM = 0: Underflow occurs if a nonzero result is tiny and a
loss of accuracy occurs. Tininess may be detected
before or after rounding. Loss of accuracy may be
either a denormalization loss or an inexact result.
If UFM = 1: Underflow occurs if a nonzero result is tiny.
Tininess may be detected before or after rounding.
--------------------
What this amounts to in the packing case is if we go subnormal,
we set underflow if any of the following are true:
1) rounding sets inexact
2) we ended up rounding back up to normal (this is the case where
we set the exponent to 1 and set the fraction to zero), this
should set inexact too
3) underflow is set in FPU control register trap-enable mask
The initially discovered example was "DBL_MIN / 16.0" which
incorrectly generated an underflow. It should not, unless underflow
is set in the trap-enable mask of the FPU csr.
Another example, "0x0.0000000000001p-1022 / 16.0", should signal both
inexact and underflow. The cpu implementations and ieee1754
literature is very clear about this. This is case #2 above.
However, if underflow is set in the trap enable mask, only underflow
should be set and reported as a trap. That is handled properly by the
prioritization logic in
arch/sparc{,64}/math-emu/math.c:record_exception().
Based upon a report and test case from Jakub Jelinek.

Add empty definition of mmiowb() since some drivers need it. Uncached
writes are strongly ordered on AVR32. They may be delayed if the
dcache is busy doing a writeback, but AFAICT that's not what this
macro is supposed to deal with, at least on UP systems.
We might have to revisit this definition when a SMP-capable AVR32 CPU
comes along, depending on how the busses and cache coherency stuff
end up being implemented.

The current definition of pte_page() masks out valid bits from the
physical address, causing vmalloc_to_page() to misbehave. This may
lead to everything from mmap() silently accessing the wrong data to

Also remove the now-unused definition of PTE_PHYS_MASK.

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8797 shows that the
bonding driver may produce bogus combinations of the checksum
flags and SG/TSO.
For example, if you bond devices with NETIF_F_HW_CSUM and
NETIF_F_IP_CSUM you'll end up with a bonding device that
has neither flag set. If both have TSO then this produces
an illegal combination.
The bridge device on the other hand has the correct code to
deal with this.
In fact, the same code can be used for both. So this patch
moves that logic into net/core/dev.c and uses it for both
bonding and bridging.
In the process I've made small adjustments such as only
setting GSO_ROBUST if at least one constituent device
supports it.

The Averatec 2370 and some other Turion laptop BIOS seems to program the

Commit 19d36ccdc34f5ed444f8a6af0cbfdb6790eb1177 "x86: Fix alternatives
and kprobes to remap write-protected kernel text" uses code which is
being patched for patching.
In particular, paravirt_ops does patching in two stages: first it
calls paravirt_ops.patch, then it fills any remaining instructions
with nop_out(). nop_out calls text_poke() which calls
lookup_address() which calls pgd_val() (aka paravirt_ops.pgd_val):
that call site is one of the places we patch.
If we always do patching as one single call to text_poke(), we only
need make sure we're not patching the memcpy in text_poke itself.
This means the prototype to paravirt_ops.patch needs to change, to
marshal the new code into a buffer rather than patching in place as it
does now. It also means all patching goes through text_poke(), which
is known to be safe (apply_alternatives is also changed to make a
single patch).

This patch finishes the i386 and x86-64 ->sysdata conversion and hopefully
also fixes Riku's and Andy's observed bugs. It is based on Yinghai Lu's
and Andy Whitcroft's patches (thanks!) with some changes:
- introduce pci_scan_bus_with_sysdata() and use it instead of
pci_scan_bus() where appropriate. pci_scan_bus_with_sysdata() will
allocate the sysdata structure and then call pci_scan_bus().
- always allocate pci_sysdata dynamically. The whole point of this
sysdata work is to make it easy to do root-bus specific things
(e.g., support PCI domains and IOMMU's). I dislike using a default
struct pci_sysdata in some places and a dynamically allocated
pci_sysdata elsewhere - the potential for someone indavertantly
changing the default structure is too high.
- this patch only makes the minimal changes necessary, i.e., the NUMA node is
always initialized to -1. Patches to do the right thing with regards
to the NUMA node can build on top of this (either add a 'node'
parameter to pci_scan_bus_with_sysdata() or just update the node
when it becomes known).
The patch was compile tested with various configurations (e.g., NUMAQ,
VISWS) and run-time tested on i386 and x86-64. Unfortunately none of my
machines exhibited the bugs so caveat emptor.
Andy, could you please see if this fixes the NUMA issues you've seen?
Riku, does this fix "pci=noacpi" on your laptop?

Patch c5c34d4862e18ef07c1276d233507f540fb5a532 (tty: flush flip buffer on
ldisc input queue flush) introduces a race condition which can lead to memory
leaks.
The problem can be triggered when tcflush() is called when data are being
pushed to the line discipline driver by flush_to_ldisc().
flush_to_ldisc() releases tty->buf.lock when calling the line discipline
receive_buf function. At that poing tty_buffer_flush() kicks in and sets both
tty->buf.head and tty->buf.tail to NULL. When flush_to_ldisc() finishes, it
restores tty->buf.head but doesn't touch tty->buf.tail. This corrups the
buffer queue, and the next call to tty_buffer_request_room() will allocate a
new buffer and overwrite tty->buf.head. The previous buffer is then lost
forever without being released.
(Thanks to Laurent for the above text, for finding, disgnosing and reporting
the bug)
