03cadd36d5 [S390] tape390: Fix request queue handling in block driver
When setting a channel attached tape online under Linux 2.6.31, the

"vol_id" process from udev hangs in sync_page():
 2 sync_page+144 [0x1dfaac]
 3 __wait_on_bit_lock+194 [0x58c23e]
 4 __lock_page+116 [0x1df9dc]
 5 truncate_inode_pages_range+728 [0x1ed7cc]
 6 __blkdev_put+244 [0x25f738]
 7 __fput+300 [0x229c4c]
 8 filp_close+122 [0x225a3a]

The reason for that is an error in the request queue handling. It can
happen that we fetch a request, but do not process it further because
the number of queued requests exceeds TAPEBLOCK_MIN_REQUEUE.
To fix this, we should call blk_peek_request() instead of
blk_fetch_request() in the while condition and fetch the request in
the loop body afterwards.

This bug was introduced with the patch "block: implement and enforce
request peek/start/fetch" (9934c8c045)

After a reboot on an ARM1176 which amounts to a softreset, it has been
noted that the ALSA driver does not get registered and the probe fails
with the error "aaci-pl041 fpga:04: ac97 read back fail". In the process
of reading from a register the SL1TxBusy bit is set indicating that the
transceiver is busy and remains so until the default timeout occurs.
Set the Power down register 0x26 to an arbitrary value as specified in
the PL041 manual (page: 3-18) so that AACISL1TX/AACISL2TX registers take
their default state.

787b2faadc ARM: force dcache flush if dcache_dirty bit set
On ARM, update_mmu_cache() does dcache flush for a page only if
it has a kernel mapping (page_mapping(page) != NULL). The correct
behavior would be to force the flush based on dcache_dirty bit only.

One of the cases where present logic would be a problem is when
a RAM based block device[1] is used as a swap disk. In this case,
we would have in-memory data corruption as shown in steps below:

do_swap_page()
{
    - Allocate a new page (if not already in swap cache)
    - Issue read from swap disk
        - Block driver issues flush_dcache_page()
        - flush_dcache_page() simply sets PG_dcache_dirty bit and does not
          actually issue a flush since this page has no user space mapping yet.
    - Now, if swap disk is almost full, this newly read page is removed
      from swap cache and corrsponding swap slot is freed.
    - Map this page anonymously in user space.
    - update_mmu_cache()
        - Since this page does not have kernel mapping (its not in page/swap
          cache and is mapped anonymously), it does not issue dcache flush
          even if dcache_dirty bit is set by flush_dcache_page() above.

    <user now gets stale data since dcache was never flushed>
}

Same problem exists on mips too.

 - brd (RAM based block device)
 - ramzswap (RAM based compressed swap device)

cf6f3bf7e5 Run pci_apply_final_quirks() sooner.
Having this as a device_initcall() means that some real device drivers
can actually initialise _before_ the quirks are run, which is wrong.

We want it to run _before_ device_initcall(), but _after_ fs_initcall(),
since some arch-specific PCI initialisation like pcibios_assign_resources()
is done at fs_initcall().

We could use rootfs_initcall() but I actually want to use that for the
IOMMU initialisation, which has to come after the quirks, but still
before the real devices. So use fs_initcall_sync() instead -- since this
is entirely synchronous, it doesn't hurt that it'll escape the
synchronisation.

d93a8f829f Revert "USB: Work around BIOS bugs by quiescing USB controllers earlier"
This reverts commit db8be50c43, as per

	http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14374
	http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=125446885705223&w=4

We simply can't do the USB handoff at FIXUP_HEADER time, since it will
often require us to have valid IO mappings etc.  But that in turn
requires a whole different approach, not this trivial one-liner.

Maybe we could teach all the USB quirk handoff handlers to only do the
quirk if the device has all its registers set up (since if it isn't
initialized, it's unlikely to be active), but regardless that will need
a whole lot more code than just saying "let's do it really early".

The proper fix is almost certainly to just leave the legacy IOMMU
mappings active until after all devices have been initialized.

15b812f1d0 pci: increase alignment to make more space for hidden code
As reported in

	http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13940

on some system when acpi are enabled, acpi clears some BAR for some
devices without reason, and kernel will need to allocate devices for
them.  It then apparently hits some undocumented resource conflict,
resulting in non-working devices.

Try to increase alignment to get more safe range for unassigned devices.

2331d1a6cd kbuild: revert "save ARCH & CROSS_COMPILE ..."
Revert commit 575543347b

It caused following issues:

- On architectures where ARCH= setting is used to select between
  32 and 64 bit this was no longer possible without "make mrproper"
- If ARCH was changed then kbuild refused to run "make mrproper"
  because ARCH had changed
- When CROSS_COMPILE was changed people were asked to run "make mrproper"
  but kbuild refused to run "make mrproper" because CROSS_COMPILE changed.
- Spaces in CROSS_COMPILE was not 'supported'
- If an non-existing ARCH= was used kbuild could get stuck

Lessons learned:
. Despite being simple and straghtforward people uses very different
  approaches when building the kernel.

. CROSS_COMPILE is sometimes used for ccache despite cache being
  only a CC frontend so one would have expected CC to be
  used for this purpose.

. And obviously this was not tested widely enough.

c01226c314 warn about use of uninstalled kernel headers
User applications frequently hit problems when they try to use
the kernel headers directly, rather than the exported headers.

This adds an explicit warning for this case, and points to
a URL holding an explanation of why this is wrong and what
to do about it.

58242b2b06 kbuild: Fix size_append issue for bzip2/lzma kernel
The Makefile.lib will call "echo -ne" to append uncompressed kernel size to
bzip2/lzma kernel image.
The "echo" here depends on the shell that /bin/sh pointing to.
On Ubuntu system, the /bin/sh is pointing to dash, which does not support
"echo -e" at all. Use /bin/echo instead of shell echo should always be safe.

can't work, so let's use non-builtin echo in this case.
