Arnd Bergmann f807221ded [PATCH] spufs: Disable local interrupts for SPE hash_page calls.
This patch disables and saves local interrupts during
hash_page processing for SPE contexts.

We have to do it explicitly in the spu_irq_class_1_bottom
function. For the interrupt handlers, we get the behaviour
implicitly by using SA_INTERRUPT to disable interrupts while
in the handler.

As reported in Bugzilla Bug 6406, resume from S3 results in a blank screen.

For the IBM Thinkpad X30 using vesafb as the console driver, successful resume

Christian Borntraeger 40ac6b204c [PATCH] s390: fix slab debugging
With CONFIG_SLAB_DEBUG=y networking over qeth doesn't work.  The problem is
that the qib structure embedded in the qeth_irq structure needs an alignment
of 256 but kmalloc only guarantees an alignment of 8.  When using SLAB
debugging the alignment of qeth_irq is not sufficient for the embedded qib
structure which causes all users of qdio (qeth and zfcp) to stop working.
Allocate qeth_irq structure with __get_free_page.  That wastes a small amount
of memory (~2500 bytes) per online adapter.

The dasd state machine is not designed to enable an unformatted device, since
'unformatted' is a final state.  The BIODASDENABLE ioctl calls

dasd_enable_device terminate.  Note: To get such an unformatted device online
it has to be re-analyzed.  This means that the device needs to be disabled
prior to re-enablement.

Andi Kleen 9539d4e79f [PATCH] Mark VMSPLIT EMBEDDED
Running abnormal VM splits causes weird problems - people can set non-standard
splits by accident, then lots of time gets wasted diagnosing it - see the long
"[stable] 2.6.16.6 breaks java...  sort of" email thread.

So we need to make this option harder to set.  Use CONFIG_EMBEDDED for this.

CONFIG_EMBEDDED isn't really the right thing to use, but there's nothing else
obvious and avoiding these problems is more important than Kconfig purity.

Ashok Raj 35076bdfa1 [PATCH] enable X86_PC for HOTPLUG_CPU
CPU_HOTPLUG has race conditions when we use broadcast mode IPI.

- First we introduced no_broadcast option
    (see include/asm-i386/mach-default/mach_ipi.h)

- x86_64 solved it by using physical flat mode (same as bigsmp on i386)
  since this will not use broadcast shortcuts for IPI.

- We switched to use bigsmp on i386 so that we can have same handling as
  x86_64, but apparently this caused an error message, if kernel was
  compiled without X86_GENERICARCH, X86_BIGSMP.  The message "You have >8
  CPUS..." which was bogus and misleading, and only indicated one of the
  above ARCH wasnt selected.

So we do not switch to automatic bigsmp for HOTPLUG_CPU support in i386
until the other related config dependencies for SMP_SUSPEND etc can be done
right.

Alan Modra f749edae5e [PATCH] powerpc64: Fix loading of modules without a .toc section
Normally, ppc64 module .ko files contain a table-of-contents (.toc)
section, but if the module doesn't reference any static or external
data or external procedures, it is possible for gcc/binutils to
generate a .ko that doesn't have a .toc.  Currently the module
loader refuses to load such a module, since it needs the address
of the .toc section to use in relocations.

This patch fixes the problem by using the address of the .stubs
section instead, which is an acceptable substitute in this situation.

Paul Mackerras f709bfac48 powerpc/pseries: Tell firmware our capabilities on new machines
This adds code to call a new firmware method to tell the firmware
what machines and capabilities (such as VMX/Altivec) we support.
This will be needed on POWER5+ and POWER6 machines, and it has no
effect on past and current machines.

David Gibson f10a04c034 [PATCH] powerpc: Fix pagetable bloat for hugepages
At present, ARCH=powerpc kernels can waste considerable space in
pagetables when making large hugepage mappings.  Hugepage PTEs go in
PMD pages, but each PMD page maps 256M and so contains only 16
hugepage PTEs (128 bytes of data), but takes up a 1024 byte
allocation.  With CONFIG_PPC_64K_PAGES enabled (64k base page size),
the situation is worse.  Now hugepage PTEs are at the PTE page level
(also mapping 256M), so we store 16 hugepage PTEs in a 64k allocation.

The PowerPC MMU already means that any 256M region is either all
hugepage, or all normal pages.  Thus, with some care, we can use a
different allocation for the hugepage PTE tables and only allocate the
128 bytes necessary.

Cliff Wickman 1df57c0c21 [IA64] enable dumps to capture second page of kernel stack
In SLES10 (2.6.16) crash dumping (in my experience, LKCD) is unable to
capture the second page of the 2-page task/stack allocation.
This is particularly troublesome for dump analysis, as the stack traceback
cannot be done.
  (A similar convention is probably needed throughout the kernel to make
   kernel multi-page allocations detectable for dumping)

Multi-page kernel allocations are represented by the single page structure
associated with the first page of the allocation.  The page structures
associated with the other pages are unintialized.

If the dumper is selecting only kernel pages it has no way to identify
any but the first page of the allocation.

The fix is to make the task/stack allocation a compound page.

Jack Steiner dd4cb9f8ac [IA64-SGI] - Reduce overhead of reading sn_topology
MPI programs using certain debug options have a long
startup time. This was traced to a "vmalloc/vfree" in
the code that reads /proc/sgi_sn/sn_topology. On large
systems, vfree requires an IPI to all cpus to do TLB
purging.

Replace the vmalloc/vfree with kmalloc/kfree. Although
the size of the structure being allocated is unknown, it
will not not exceed 96 bytes.
