0551fbd29e [PATCH] Add mm->task_size and fix powerpc vdso
This patch adds mm->task_size to keep track of the task size of a given mm
and uses that to fix the powerpc vdso so that it uses the mm task size to
decide what pages to fault in instead of the current thread flags (which
broke when ptracing).

(akpm: I expect that mm_struct.task_size will become the way in which we
finally sort out the confusion between 32-bit processes and 32-bit mm's.  It
may need tweaks, but at this stage this patch is powerpc-only.)

827c1a6c1a [PATCH] powerpc: fix dynamic PCI probe regression
Some hotplug driver functions were migrated to the kernel for use by EEH
in commit 2bf6a8fa21.

Previously, the PCI Hotplug module had been changed to use the new
OFDT-based PCI probe when appropriate:
5fa80fcdca

When rpaphp_pci_config_slot() was moved from the rpaphp driver to the
new kernel function pcibios_add_pci_devices(), the OFDT-based probe
stuff was dropped.  This patch restores it.

bafac2a512 [NETFILTER]: Restore {ipt,ip6t,ebt}_LOG compatibility
The nfnetlink_log infrastructure changes broke compatiblity of the LOG
targets. They currently use whatever log backend was registered first,
which means that if ipt_ULOG was loaded first, no messages will be printed
to the ring buffer anymore.

Restore compatiblity by using the old log functions by default and only use
the nf_log backend if the user explicitly said so.

752c1f4c78 [IPSEC]: Kill post_input hook and do NAT-T in esp_input directly
The only reason post_input exists at all is that it gives us the
potential to adjust the checksums incrementally in future which
we ought to do.

However, after thinking about it for a bit we can adjust the
checksums without using this post_input stuff at all.  The crucial
point is that only the inner-most NAT-T SA needs to be considered
when adjusting checksums.  What's more, the checksum adjustment
comes down to a single u32 due to the linearity of IP checksums.

We just happen to have a spare u32 lying around in our skb structure :)
When ip_summed is set to CHECKSUM_NONE on input, the value of skb->csum
is currently unused.  All we have to do is to make that the checksum
adjustment and voila, there goes all the post_input and decap structures!

I've left in the decap data structures for now since it's intricately
woven into the sec_path stuff.  We can kill them later too.

9b6695a8ad [MIPS] SMP: Fix initialization order bug.
A recent change requires cpu_possible_map to be initialized before
smp_sched_init() but most MIPS platforms were initializing their
processors in the prom_prepare_cpus callback of smp_prepare_cpus.  The
simple fix of calling prom_prepare_cpus from one of the earlier SMP
initialization hooks doesn't work well either since IPIs may require
init_IRQ() to have completed, so bit the bullet and split
prom_prepare_cpus into two initialization functions, plat_smp_setup
which is called early from setup_arch and plat_prepare_cpus called where
prom_prepare_cpus used to be called.

e8b917775b [PATCH] x86_64: Move the SMP time selection earlier
SMP time selection originally ran after all CPUs were brought up because
it needed to know the number of CPUs to decide if it needs an MP safe
timer or not.

This is not needed anymore because we know present CPUs early.

This fixes a couple of problems:
 - apicmaintimer didn't always work because it relied on state that was
   set up time_init_gtod too late.
 - The output for the used timer in early kernel log was misleading
   because time_init_gtod could actually change it later.  Now always
   print the final timer choice

60b08c6722 [PATCH] x86_64: no_iommu removal in pci-gart.c
In previous versions of pci-gart.c, no_iommu was used to determine if IOMMU was
disabled in the GART DMA mapping functions.  This changed in 2.6.16 and now
gart_xxx() functions are only called if gart is enabled.  Therefore, uses of
no_iommu in the GART code are no longer necessary and can be removed.

Also, it removes double deceleration of no_iommu and force_iommu in pci.h and
proto.h, by removing the deceleration in pci.h.

Lastly, end_pfn off by one error.

Tested (along with patch 1/2) on dual opteron with gart enabled, iommu=soft,

c04030e16d [PATCH] flags parameter for linkat
I'm currently at the POSIX meeting and one thing covered was the
incompatibility of Linux's link() with the POSIX definition.  The name.
Linux does not follow symlinks, POSIX requires it does.

Even if somebody thinks this is a good default behavior we cannot change this
because it would break the ABI.  But the fact remains that some application
might want this behavior.

We have one chance to help implementing this without breaking the behavior.
 For this we could use the new linkat interface which would need a new
flags parameter.  If the new parameter is AT_SYMLINK_FOLLOW the new
behavior could be invoked.

I do not want to introduce such a patch now.  But we could add the
parameter now, just don't use it.  The patch below would do this.  Can we
get this late patch applied before the release more or less fixes the
syscall API?

2b932f6cf0 [PATCH] x86: fix broken SMP boot sequence
Recent GDT changes broke the SMP boot sequence if the booting CPU is
numbered anything other than zero.  There's also a subtle source of error
in that the boot time CPU now uses cpu_gdt_table (which is actually the GDT
for booting CPUs in head.S).  This patch fixes both problems by making GDT
descriptors themselves allocated from a per_cpu area and switching to them
in cpu_init(), which now means that cpu_gdt_table is exclusively used for
booting CPUs again.

cb2c9b2741 [PATCH] powerpc: Fix runlatch performance issues
The runlatch SPR can take a lot of time to write. My original runlatch
code would set it on every exception entry even though most of the time
this was not required. It would also continually set it in the idle

Now we cache the runlatch value in a threadinfo bit, and only check for
it in decrementer and hardware interrupt exceptions as well as the idle
loop. Boot on POWER3, POWER5 and iseries, and compile tested on pmac32.

337a7128db [PATCH] powerpc: Only calculate htab_size in one place for kexec
For kexec we need to know the size of the MMU hash table.

Currently we calculate the size once in the htab code, and then twice more in

On some machines the ppc64_pft_size calculation is broken because
ppc64_pft_size is not set.

So we need to fix the second calculation, but better still we should just
calculate the size once and use it everywhere else.

This patch adds the at91_set_multi_drive() function to enable/disable

This is necessary to fix the UDC (USB Gadget) driver for the AT91RM9200
board as it will not allow the board reset line to be pulled low if the
pullup is not driven as an open collector output as the boards are wired
to the USB connector on both the DK/EK.

and are broken by design, and so, should not be relied upon by any

c255d844dd [PATCH] suspend-to-ram: allow video options to be set at runtime
Currently, acpi video options can only be set on kernel command line.  That's
little inflexible; I'd like userland s2ram application that just works, and
modifying kernel command line according to whitelist is not fun.  It is better
to just allow s2ram application to set video options just before suspend
(according to the whitelist).

This implements sysctl to allow setting suspend video options without reboot.

(akpm: Documentation updates for this new sysctl are pending..)

9b0f8b040a [PATCH] Terminate process that fails on a constrained allocation
Some allocations are restricted to a limited set of nodes (due to memory
policies or cpuset constraints).  If the page allocator is not able to find
enough memory then that does not mean that overall system memory is low.

In particular going postal and more or less randomly shooting at processes
is not likely going to help the situation but may just lead to suicide (the
whole system coming down).

It is better to signal to the process that no memory exists given the
constraints that the process (or the configuration of the process) has
placed on the allocation behavior.  The process may be killed but then the
sysadmin or developer can investigate the situation.  The solution is
similar to what we do when running out of hugepages.

This patch adds a check before we kill processes.  At that point
performance considerations do not matter much so we just scan the zonelist
and reconstruct a list of nodes.  If the list of nodes does not contain all
online nodes then this is a constrained allocation and we should kill the
current process.

cc1887f3d8 [PATCH] libata: fix qc->n_elem == 0 case handling in ata_qc_next_sg
This patch makes ata_for_each_sg() start with pad_sgent when
qc->n_elem is zero.  Previously, ata_for_each_sg() unconditionally
started with qc->__sg, handling the first sg to fill_sg() routines
even when the entry was invalid.  And while at it, unwind ?: in
ata_qc_next_sg() into if statement.
