Use the generic pci_enable_resources() instead of the arch-specific code.
Unlike this arch-specific code, the generic version:
- checks PCI_NUM_RESOURCES (11), not DEVICE_COUNT_RESOURCE (12), resources
- skips resources that have neither IORESOURCE_IO nor IORESOURCE_MEM set
- skips ROM resources unless IORESOURCE_ROM_ENABLE is set
- checks for resource collisions with "!r->parent"

Commit 721fdf3416 introduced a subtle bug
by accidently removing the "static" from iodc_dbuf. This resulted in, what
appeared to be, a trap without *current set to a task. Probably the result of
a trap in real mode while calling firmware.
Also do other misc clean ups. Since the only input from firmware is non
blocking, share iodc_dbuf between input and output, and spinlock the
only callers.

This is the central patch of a cleanup series. In most cases there is no good
reason why someone would want to use a dentry for itself. This series reflects
that fact and embeds a struct path into nameidata.
Together with the other patches of this series
- it enforced the correct order of getting/releasing the reference count on
<dentry,vfsmount> pairs
- it prepares the VFS for stacking support since it is essential to have a
struct path in every place where the stack can be traversed
- it reduces the overall code size:

between crashkernel area and already used memory.
This patch:
Change the reserve_bootmem() function to accept a new flag BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE.
If that flag is set, the function returns with -EBUSY if the memory already
has been reserved in the past. This is to avoid conflicts.
Because that code runs before SMP initialisation, there's no race condition
inside reserve_bootmem_core().

On the per-architecture side, I do think it would be better to *not* have
internal architecture knowledge in a generic file, and as such a line like
depends on X86_32 || IA64 || PPC || S390 || SPARC64 || X86_64 || AVR32
really shouldn't exist in a file like kernel/Kconfig.instrumentation.
It would be much better to do
depends on ARCH_SUPPORTS_KPROBES
in that generic file, and then architectures that do support it would just
have a
bool ARCH_SUPPORTS_KPROBES
default y
in *their* architecture files. That would seem to be much more logical,
and is readable both for arch maintainers *and* for people who have no
clue - and don't care - about which architecture is supposed to support
which interface...
Changelog:
Actually, I know I gave this as the magic incantation, but now that I see
it, I realize that I should have told you to just use
config ARCH_SUPPORTS_KPROBES
def_bool y
instead, which is a bit denser.
We seem to use both kinds of syntax for these things, but this is really
what "def_bool" is there for...

__raw_spin_is_contended that uses the lock data itself to determine whether
there are waiters on the lock, to be used if CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK is
not set.
Rename need_lockbreak to spin_needbreak, make it use spin_is_contended to
decouple it from the spinlock implementation, and make it typesafe (rwlocks
do not have any need_lockbreak sites -- why do they even get bloated up

This is the largest patch in the set. Make all (I hope) the places where
the pid is shown to or get from user operate on the virtual pids.
The idea is:
- all in-kernel data structures must store either struct pid itself
or the pid's global nr, obtained with pid_nr() call;
- when seeking the task from kernel code with the stored id one
should use find_task_by_pid() call that works with global pids;
- when showing pid's numerical value to the user the virtual one
should be used, but however when one shows task's pid outside this
task's namespace the global one is to be used;
- when getting the pid from userspace one need to consider this as
the virtual one and use appropriate task/pid-searching functions.

We have had complaints where a threaded application is left in a bad state

condition.
Killing just one of the process threads can leave the application in a bad
state, whereas killing the entire process group would allow for the
application to restart, or be otherwise handled, and makes it very obvious
that something has gone wrong.
This change allows the entire process group to be taken down, rather
than just the one thread.

One usecase is when trying to find gcc bugs but other

per cpu data section contains two types of data. One set which is
exclusively accessed by the local cpu and the other set which is per cpu,
but also shared by remote cpus. In the current kernel, these two sets are
not clearely separated out. This can potentially cause the same data
cacheline shared between the two sets of data, which will result in
unnecessary bouncing of the cacheline between cpus.
One way to fix the problem is to cacheline align the remotely accessed per
cpu data, both at the beginning and at the end. Because of the padding at
both ends, this will likely cause some memory wastage and also the
interface to achieve this is not clean.
This patch:
Moves the remotely accessed per cpu data (which is currently marked
as ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp) into a different section, where all the data
elements are cacheline aligned. And as such, this differentiates the local
only data and remotely accessed data cleanly.

KSYM_NAME_LEN is peculiar in that it does not include the space for the
trailing '\0', forcing all users to use KSYM_NAME_LEN + 1 when allocating
buffer. This is nonsense and error-prone. Moreover, when the caller
forgets that it's very likely to subtly bite back by corrupting the stack
because the last position of the buffer is always cleared to zero.
This patch increments KSYM_NAME_LEN by one and updates code accordingly.
* off-by-one bug in asm-powerpc/kprobes.h::kprobe_lookup_name() macro
is fixed.
* Where MODULE_NAME_LEN and KSYM_NAME_LEN were used together,
MODULE_NAME_LEN was treated as if it didn't include space for the
trailing '\0'. Fix it.

[ Added parisc patch from Matthew Wilson -Linus ]
Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
The current generic bug implementation has a call to dump_stack() in case a
WARN_ON(whatever) gets hit. Since report_bug(), which calls dump_stack(),
gets called from an exception handler we can do better: just pass the
pt_regs structure to report_bug() and pass it to show_regs() in case of a
warning. This will give more debug informations like register contents,
etc... In addition this avoids some pointless lines that dump_stack()
emits, since it includes a stack backtrace of the exception handler which
is of no interest in case of a warning. E.g. on s390 the following lines
are currently always present in a stack backtrace if dump_stack() gets
called from report_bug():
[<000000000001517a>] show_trace+0x92/0xe8)
[<0000000000015270>] show_stack+0xa0/0xd0

Kudos to Thibaut Varene for spotting the (mis)use of appropriately named
global_ack_eiem. This took a long time to figure out and both insight
from myself, Kyle McMartin, and James Bottomley were required to narrow
down which bit of code could have this race condition.
The symptom was interrupts stopped getting delivered while some workload
was generating IO interrupts on two different CPUs. One of the interrupt
sources would get masked off and stay unmasked. Problem was global_ack_eiem
was accessed with read/modified/write sequence and not protected by
a spinlock.
PA-RISC doesn't need a global ack flag though. External Interrupts
are _always_ delivered to a single CPU (except for "global broadcast
interrupt" which AFAIK currently is not used.) So we don't have to worry
about any given IRQ vector getting delivered to more than one CPU.
Tested on a500 and rp34xx boxen. rsync to/from gsyprf11 (a500)
would lock up the box since NIC (tg3) interrupt and SCSI (sym2)
were on "opposite" CPUs (2 CPU system). Put them on the same CPU
or apply this patch and 10GB of data would rsync completely.
Please apply the following critical patch.

The bug was that we were comparing __NR_syscalls to be greater or equal
to the syscall number stored in %r20. __NR_syscalls is one greater than
the last syscall though, so we're loading one entry beyond the end of the

have compared to (__NR_Linux_syscalls - 1)

mm/slab: fix section mismatch warning

kbuild: introduce __init_refok/__initdata_refok to supress section mismatch warnings

kbuild: add "Section mismatch" warning whitelist for powerpc

kbuild: make modpost section warnings clearer
kconfig: search harder for curses library in check-lxdialog.sh
kbuild: include limits.h in sumversion.c for PATH_MAX
powerpc: Fix the MODALIAS generation in modpost for of devices
First thing mm.h does is including sched.h solely for can_do_mlock() inline
function which has "current" dereference inside. By dealing with can_do_mlock()
mm.h can be detached from sched.h which is good. See below, why.
This patch
a) removes unconditional inclusion of sched.h from mm.h
b) makes can_do_mlock() normal function in mm/mlock.c
c) exports can_do_mlock() to not break compilation
d) adds sched.h inclusions back to files that were getting it indirectly.
e) adds less bloated headers to some files (asm/signal.h, jiffies.h) that were
getting them indirectly
Net result is:
a) mm.h users would get less code to open, read, preprocess, parse, ... if
they don't need sched.h
b) sched.h stops being dependency for significant number of files:
on x86_64 allmodconfig touching sched.h results in recompile of 4083 files,
after patch it's only 3744 (-8.3%).

This finally renames the thread_info field in task structure to stack, so that
the assumptions about this field are gone and archs have more freedom about
placing the thread_info structure.
Nonbroken archs which have a proper thread pointer can do the access to both

Both old-IDE and libata should be able handle all controllers and
devices found using normal resource reservation methods.
This eliminates the awful, low-performing split-driver configuration
where old-IDE drove the PATA portion of a PCI device, in PIO-only mode,
and libata drove the SATA portion of the /same/ PCI device, in DMA mode.
Typically vendors would ship SATA hard drive / PATA optical
configuration, which would lend itself to slow (PIO-only) CD-ROM
performance.
For Intel users running in combined mode, it is now wholly dependent on
your driver choice (potentially link order, if you compile both drivers
in) whether old-IDE or libata will drive your hardware.
In either case, you will get full performance from both SATA and PATA
ports now, without having to pass a kernel command line parameter.
