4357bd9453 lguest: Revert 1ce70c4fac, fix real problem.
Ahmed managed to crash the Host in release_pgd(), which cannot be a Guest
bug, and indeed it wasn't.

The bug was that handing a 0 as the address of the toplevel page table
being manipulated can cause the lookup code in find_pgdir() to return
an uninitialized cache entry (we shadow up to 4 top level page tables
for each Guest).

Commit 37cc8d7f96 introduced this
behaviour in the Guest, uncovering the bug.

The patch which he submitted (which removed the /4 from the index
calculation) simply ensured that these high-indexed entries hit the
early exit path of guest_set_pmd().  But you get lots of segfaults in
guest userspace as the PMDs aren't being updated.

3fabc55f34 lguest: Sanitize the lguest clock.
Now the TSC code handles a zero return from calculate_cpu_khz(),
lguest can simply pass through the value it gets from the Host: if
non-zero, all the normal TSC code applies.

Otherwise (or if the Host really doesn't support TSC), the clocksource
code will fall back to the slower but reasonable lguest clock.

f14ae652ba lguest: fix __get_vm_area usage.
Robert Bragg's 5dc3318528 tightened
(ie. fixed) the checking in __get_vm_area, and it broke lguest.

lguest should pass the exact "end" it wants, not some random constant
(it was possible previously that it would actually get an address
different from SWITCHER_ADDR).

Also, Fabio Checconi pointed out that we should make sure we're not
hitting the fixmap area.

ab875cf67e alpha: fix iommu-related boot panic
This fixes a boot panic due to a typo in the recent iommu patchset from
FUJITA Tomonori <tomof@acm.org> - the code used dma_get_max_seg_size()
instead of dma_get_seg_boundary().

It also removes a couple of unnecessary BUG_ON() and ALIGN() macros.

393d94d98b cpu hotplug: adjust root-domain->online span in response to hotplug event
We currently set the root-domain online span automatically when the
domain is added to the cpu if the cpu is already a member of
cpu_online_map.

This was done as a hack/bug-fix for s2ram, but it also causes a problem
with hotplug CPU_DOWN transitioning.  The right way to fix the original
problem is to actually respond to CPU_UP events, instead of CPU_ONLINE,
which is already too late.

This solves the hung reboot regression reported by Andrew Morton and
others.

10a398d04c time: remove obsolete CLOCK_TICK_ADJUST
The first version of the ntp_interval/tick_length inconsistent usage patch was
recently merged as bbe4d18ac2

http://git.kernel.org/gitweb.cgi?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=bbe4d18ac2e058c56adb0cd71f49d9ed3216a405

While the fix did greatly improve the situation, it was correctly pointed out
by Roman that it does have a small bug: If the users change clocksources after
the system has been running and NTP has made corrections, the correctoins made
against the old clocksource will be applied against the new clocksource,
causing error.

The second attempt, which corrects the issue in the NTP_INTERVAL_LENGTH
definition has also made it up-stream as commit
e13a2e61dd

http://git.kernel.org/gitweb.cgi?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=e13a2e61dd5152f5499d2003470acf9c838eab84

Roman has correctly pointed out that CLOCK_TICK_ADJUST is calculated
based on the PIT's frequency, and isn't really relevant to non-PIT
driven clocksources (that is, clocksources other then jiffies and pit).

This patch reverts both of those changes, and simply removes
CLOCK_TICK_ADJUST.

This does remove the granularity error correction for users of PIT and Jiffies
clocksource users, but the granularity error but for the majority of users, it
should be within the 500ppm range NTP can accommodate for.

For systems that have granularity errors greater then 500ppm, the
"ntp_tick_adj=" boot option can be used to compensate.

84c6f6046c x86_64: make ptrace always sign-extend orig_ax to 64 bits
This makes 64-bit ptrace calls setting the 64-bit orig_ax field for a
32-bit task sign-extend the low 32 bits up to 64.  This matches what a
64-bit debugger expects when tracing a 32-bit task.

This follows on my "x86_64 ia32 syscall restart fix".  This didn't
matter until that was fixed.

The debugger ignores or zeros the high half of every register slot it
sets (including the orig_rax pseudo-register) uniformly.  It expects
that the setting of the low 32 bits always has the same meaning as a
32-bit debugger setting those same 32 bits with native 32-bit
facilities.

This never arose before because the syscall restart check never
matched any -ERESTART* values due to lack of sign extension.  Before
that fix, even 32-bit ptrace setting orig_eax to -1 failed to trigger
the restart check anyway.  So this was never noticed as a regression
of 64-bit debuggers vs 32-bit debuggers on the same 64-bit kernel.

Signed-off-by: Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com>
[ Changed to just do the sign-extension unconditionally on x86-64,

5d49c101a1 gigaset: fix Oops on module unload regression
The card state mutex was only initialized when a device was connected,
but used during unload unconditionally, leading to an Oops if a driver
was loaded and unloaded again without ever connecting a device.

Fix this by initializing the mutex as soon as the structure is allocated.
Also add a missing mutex unlock revealed in the same execution path.

This fixes a possible Oops in 2.6.25-rc that was introduced by commit
e468c04894 ("Gigaset: permit module

Sripathi Kodi reported a crash in the -rt kernel:

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=435674

this is due to a place that can reschedule a task without holding
the tasks runqueue lock.  This was caused by the RT balancing code
that pulls RT tasks to the current run queue and will reschedule the
current task.

There's a slight chance that the pulling of the RT tasks will release
the current runqueue's lock and retake it (in the double_lock_balance).
During this time that the runqueue is released, the current task can
migrate to another runqueue.

In the prio_changed_rt code, after the pull, if the current task is of
lesser priority than one of the RT tasks pulled, resched_task is called
on the current task. If the current task had migrated in that small
window, resched_task will be called without holding the runqueue lock
for the runqueue that the task is on.

This race condition also exists in the mainline kernel and this patch
adds a check to make sure the task hasn't migrated before calling
resched_task.

810b38179e sched: retain vruntime
Kei Tokunaga reported an interactivity problem when moving tasks
between control groups.

Tasks would retain their old vruntime when moved between groups, this
can cause funny lags. Re-set the vruntime on group move to fit within
the new tree.

1722770f13 x86-boot: don't request VBE2 information
The new x86 setup code (4fd06960f1) broke booting on an old P3/500MHz
with an onboard Voodoo3 of mine. After debugging it, it turned out
to be caused by the fact that the vesa probing now asks for VBE2 data.

Disassembing the video BIOS shows that it overflows the vesa_general_info
structure when VBE2 data is requested because the source addresses for the
information strings which get strcpy'ed to the buffer lie outside the 32K
BIOS code (and hence contain long sequences of 0xff's).

E.G.:

(The full BIOS can be found at http://peter.korsgaard.com/vgabios.bin
if interested).

The old setup code didn't ask for VBE2 info, and the new code doesn't
actually do anything with the extra information, so the fix is to simply
not request it. Other BIOS'es might have the same problem.

609b5297bc x86: fix merge mistake in i387.c
convert_fxsr_to_user() in 2.6.24's i387_32.c did this, and
convert_to_fxsr() also does the inverse, so I assume it's an oversight
that it is no longer being done.

[ mingo@elte.hu:

  we encode it this way because there's no space for the 'FPU Last
  Instruction Opcode' (->fop) field in the legacy user_i387_ia32_struct
  that PTRACE_GETFPREGS/PTRACE_SETFPREGS uses.

  it's probably pure legacy - i'd be surprised if any user-space relied on
  the FPU Last Opcode in any way. But indeed we used to do it previously
  so the most conservative thing is to preserve that piece of information.

e40cd10ccf x86: clear DF before calling signal handler
The Linux kernel currently does not clear the direction flag before
calling a signal handler, whereas the x86/x86-64 ABI requires that.

Linux had this behavior/bug forever, but this becomes a real problem
with gcc version 4.3, which assumes that the direction flag is
correctly cleared at the entry of a function.

This patches changes the setup_frame() functions to clear the
direction before entering the signal handler.

6d2144d355 slab: NUMA slab allocator migration bugfix
NUMA slab allocator cpu migration bugfix

The NUMA slab allocator (specifically, cache_alloc_refill)
is not refreshing its local copies of what cpu and what
numa node it is on, when it drops and reacquires the irq
block that it inherited from its caller.  As a result
those values become invalid if an attempt to migrate the
process to another numa node occured while the irq block
had been dropped.

The solution is to make cache_alloc_refill reload these
variables whenever it drops and reacquires the irq block.

The error is very difficult to hit.  When it does occur,
one gets the following oops + stack traceback bits in
check_spinlock_acquired:

	kernel BUG at mm/slab.c:2417
	cache_alloc_refill+0xe6
	kmem_cache_alloc+0xd0
	...

This patch was developed against 2.6.23, ported to and
compiled-tested only against 2.6.25-rc4.
