Johannes Weiner 9109fb7b35 mm: drop unneeded pgdat argument from free_area_init_node()
free_area_init_node() gets passed in the node id as well as the node
descriptor.  This is redundant as the function can trivially get the node
descriptor itself by means of NODE_DATA() and the node's id.

I checked all the users and NODE_DATA() seems to be usable everywhere
from where this function is called.

Johannes Weiner b61bfa3c46 mm: move bootmem descriptors definition to a single place
There are a lot of places that define either a single bootmem descriptor or an

Bastian Blank 51597acfd3 Alpha Linux kernel fails with inconsistent kallsyms data
The build of the Alpha Linux kernel currently fails[1] with inconsistent
kallsyms data.  As I never saw that before, I thought about hardware
problems.  But in fact it is a bug in the Linux kernel.

The end of the rodata section is marked with the "__end_rodata" symbol.
This symbol have different aligning constraints than the inittext parts
and therefor the start marked "_sinittext".  Because of that the
__end_rodata symbol shifts between < _sinittext and == _sinittext.  The
later variant is seen as a code symbol and recorded in the kallsyms data.

On fix would be to move the exception table a little bit and get some
space between that two areas.

Ivan Kokshaysky a744e0160a alpha: resurrect Cypress IDE quirk
Which was removed in the hope that generic legacy IDE quirk in
drivers/pci/probe.c is sufficient for Cypress IDE.
It isn't, as this controller has non-standard BAR layout:
secondary channel registers are in the BAR0-1 of the second
PCI function - not in the BAR2-3 of the same function, as the
generic quirk routine assumes.

Ivan Kokshaysky d559d4a24a alpha: fix compile failures with gcc-4.3 (bug #10438)
Vast majority of these build failures are gcc-4.3 warnings
about static functions and objects being referenced from
non-static (read: "extern inline") functions, in conjunction
with our -Werror.

We cannot just convert "extern inline" to "static inline",
as people keep suggesting all the time, because "extern inline"
logic is crucial for generic kernel build.
So
- just make sure that all callees of critical "extern inline"
  functions are also "extern inline";
- use "static inline", wherever it's possible.

traps.c: work around gcc-4.3 being too smart about array
bounds-checking.

TODO: add "gnu_inline" attribute to all our "extern inline"
functions to ensure desired behaviour with future compilers.

Ivan Kokshaysky ede426923b alpha: link failure fix
With built-in scsi disk driver, the final link fails with a following
error:
`.exit.text' referenced in section `.rodata' of drivers/built-in.o:
defined in discarded section `.exit.text' of drivers/built-in.o

This happens with -Os (CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=y) with all gcc-4
versions, and also with -O2 and gcc-4.3.

The problem is in sd.c:sd_major() being inlined into __exit function
exit_sd(), and the compiler generating a jump table in .rodata section
for the 'switch' statement in sd_major(). So we have references to
discarded section.

Fixed with a big hammer in the form of -fno-jump-tables.

Note that jump tables vs. discarded sections is a generic problem,
other architectures are just lucky not to suffer from it. But with
a slightly more complex switch/case statement it can be reproduced
on x86 as well. So maybe at some point we should consider
-fno-jump-tables as a generic compile option...

This patch creates /proc/irq/default_smp_affinity that lets users set

does not affect affinity masks for the currently active IRQs, they
have to be changed explicitly.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt b70d3a2c59 iomap: fix 64 bits resources on 32 bits
Almost all implementations of pci_iomap() in the kernel, including the generic
lib/iomap.c one, copies the content of a struct resource into unsigned long's
which will break on 32 bits platforms with 64 bits resources.

This fixes all definitions of pci_iomap() to use resource_size_t.  I also
"fixed" the 64bits arch for consistency.

(commit 4cc6028d40):

-	if (brk < mm->end_code)

The problem is that osf_set_program_attributes()
does update mm->end_code, but not mm->start_brk,
which still contains inappropriate value left from
binary loader, so brk() always fails.

Jan Blunck 4ac9137858 Embed a struct path into struct nameidata instead of nd->{dentry,mnt}
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:

without patch series:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
5321639  858418  715768 6895825  6938d1 vmlinux

5320026  858418  715768 6894212  693284 vmlinux

This patch:

Switch from nd->{dentry,mnt} to nd->path.{dentry,mnt} everywhere.

Peter Zijlstra aa02cd2d9b xtime_lock vs update_process_times
Commit d3d74453c3 ("hrtimer: fixup the
HRTIMER_CB_IRQSAFE_NO_SOFTIRQ fallback") broke several archs, and since
only Russell bothered to merge the fix, and Greg to ACK his arch, I'm
sending this for merger.

I have confirmation that the Alpha bit results in a booting kernel.
That leaves: blackfin, frv, sh and sparc untested.

The deadlock in question was found by Russell:

  IRQ handle
    -> timer_tick() - xtime seqlock held for write
      -> update_process_times()
        -> run_local_timers()
          -> hrtimer_run_queues()
            -> hrtimer_get_softirq_time() - tries to get a read lock

Now, Thomas assures me the fix is trivial, only do_timer() needs to be
done under the xtime_lock, and update_process_times() can savely be
removed from under it.

not a single multiply or divide, as for the case of HZ == 300, we currently
do a multiply followed by a divide.  The intervening result, however, is
subject to overflows, especially since the fraction is not simplified (for
HZ == 300, we multiply by 300 and divide by 1000).

This is exposed to the user when passing a large timeout to poll(), for
example.

This patch replaces the multiply-divide with a reciprocal multiplication on
32-bit platforms.  When the input is an unsigned long, there is no portable
way to do this on 64-bit platforms there is no portable way to do this
since it requires a 128-bit intermediate result (which gcc does support on
64-bit platforms but may generate libgcc calls, e.g.  on 64-bit s390), but
since the output is a 32-bit integer in the cases affected, just simplify
the multiply-divide (*3/10 instead of *300/1000).

The reciprocal multiply used can have off-by-one errors in the upper half
of the valid output range.  This could be avoided at the expense of having
to deal with a potential 65-bit intermediate result.  Since the intent is
to avoid overflow problems and most of the other time conversions are only
semiexact, the off-by-one errors were considered an acceptable tradeoff.

At Ralf Baechle's suggestion, this version uses a Perl script to compute
the necessary constants.  We already have dependencies on Perl for kernel
compiles.  This does, however, require the Perl module Math::BigInt, which
is included in the standard Perl distribution starting with version 5.8.0.
In order to support older versions of Perl, include a table of canned
constants in the script itself, and structure the script so that
Math::BigInt isn't required if pulling values from said table.

Running the script requires that the HZ value is available from the
Makefile.  Thus, this patch also adds the Kconfig variable CONFIG_HZ to the
architectures which didn't already have it (alpha, cris, frv, h8300, m32r,
m68k, m68knommu, sparc, v850, and xtensa.) It does *not* touch the sh or
sh64 architectures, since Paul Mundt has dealt with those separately in the
sh tree.

David Howells 7fa3031500 aout: suppress A.OUT library support if !CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_AOUT
Suppress A.OUT library support if CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_AOUT is not set.

Not all architectures support the A.OUT binfmt, so the ELF binfmt should not
be permitted to go looking for A.OUT libraries to load in such a case.  Not
only that, but under such conditions A.OUT core dumps are not produced either.

To make this work, this patch also does the following:

 (1) Makes the existence of the contents of linux/a.out.h contingent on
     CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_AOUT.

 (2) Renames dump_thread() to aout_dump_thread() as it's only called by A.OUT
     core dumping code.

 (3) Moves aout_dump_thread() into asm/a.out-core.h and makes it inline.  This
     is then included only where needed.  This means that this bit of arch
     code will be stored in the appropriate A.OUT binfmt module rather than
     the core kernel.

 (4) Drops A.OUT support for Blackfin (according to Mike Frysinger it's not
     needed) and FRV.

This patch depends on the previous patch to move STACK_TOP[_MAX] out of
asm/a.out.h and into asm/processor.h as they're required whether or not A.OUT
format is available.

Mark arches that support A.OUT format by including the following in their
master Kconfig files:

	config ARCH_SUPPORTS_AOUT
		def_bool y

This should also be set if the arch provides compatibility A.OUT support for
an older arch, for instance x86_64 for i386 or sparc64 for sparc.

I've guessed at which arches don't, based on comments in the code, however I'm
sure that some of the ones I've marked as 'yes' actually should be 'no'.

Bernhard Walle 72a7fe3967 Introduce flags for reserve_bootmem()
This patchset adds a flags variable to reserve_bootmem() and uses the
BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE flag in crashkernel reservation code to detect collisions
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().

I've verified that this is correct for all users.

While doing the latter, I also did the following cleanups:
- remove pointless additional prototypes in C files
- ensure all users #include <linux/delay.h>

This fixes the following section mismatches with CONFIG_HOTPLUG=n,
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y:

Eric Dumazet 9cfe015aa4 get rid of NR_OPEN and introduce a sysctl_nr_open
NR_OPEN (historically set to 1024*1024) actually forbids processes to open
more than 1024*1024 handles.

Unfortunatly some production servers hit the not so 'ridiculously high
value' of 1024*1024 file descriptors per process.

Changing NR_OPEN is not considered safe because of vmalloc space potential
exhaust.

This patch introduces a new sysctl (/proc/sys/fs/nr_open) wich defaults to
1024*1024, so that admins can decide to change this limit if their workload
needs it.

Davide Libenzi 4d672e7ac7 timerfd: new timerfd API
This is the new timerfd API as it is implemented by the following patch:

int timerfd_create(int clockid, int flags);
int timerfd_settime(int ufd, int flags,
		    const struct itimerspec *utmr,
		    struct itimerspec *otmr);
int timerfd_gettime(int ufd, struct itimerspec *otmr);

The timerfd_create() API creates an un-programmed timerfd fd.  The "clockid"
parameter can be either CLOCK_MONOTONIC or CLOCK_REALTIME.

The timerfd_settime() API give new settings by the timerfd fd, by optionally
retrieving the previous expiration time (in case the "otmr" parameter is not
NULL).

The time value specified in "utmr" is absolute, if the TFD_TIMER_ABSTIME bit
is set in the "flags" parameter.  Otherwise it's a relative time.

The timerfd_gettime() API returns the next expiration time of the timer, or
{0, 0} if the timerfd has not been set yet.

Like the previous timerfd API implementation, read(2) and poll(2) are
supported (with the same interface).  Here's a simple test program I used to
exercise the new timerfd APIs:
