This patch improves UBI errors handling. ATM UBI switches to
R/O mode when the WL worker fails to read the source PEB.
This means that the upper layers (e.g., UBIFS) has no
chances to unmap the erroneous PEB and fix the error.
This patch changes this behaviour and makes UBI put PEBs
like this into a separate RB-tree, thus preventing the
WL worker from hitting the same read errors again and
again.
But there is a 10% limit on a maximum amount of PEBs like this.
If there are too much of them, UBI switches to R/O mode.
Additionally, this patch teaches UBI not to panic and
switch to R/O mode if after a PEB has been copied, the
target LEB cannot be read back. Instead, now UBI cancels
the operation and schedules the target PEB for torturing.
The error paths has been tested by ingecting errors
into 'ubi_eba_copy_leb()'.

This patch fixes a minor problem where we may fail to wake
upe the UBI background thread. This is not fatal at all,
it may just result at sligtly worse performace for a short
period of time, just because the thread will be woken up
when real I/O on the UBI starts.
Anywey, the issue is the race condition between
'ubi_attach_mtd_dev()' and 'ubi_thread()'. If we do not
serialize them, the 'wake_up_process()' call may be done
before 'ubi_thread()' went seep, but after it checked
'ubi->thread_enabled'.

When paranoid checs are enabled, the 'io_paral' test from the
'mtd-utils' package fails. The symptoms are:
UBI error: paranoid_check_all_ff: flash region at PEB 3973:512, length 15872 does not contain all 0xFF bytes
UBI error: paranoid_check_all_ff: paranoid check failed for PEB 3973
UBI: hex dump of the 512-16384 region
It turned out to be a bug in the checking function. Suppose there
are 2 tasks - A and B. Task A is the wear-levelling working
('wear_leveling_worker()'). It is reading the VID header to find
which LEB this PEB belongs to. Say, task A is reading header
of PEB X. Suppose PEB X is unmapped, and has no VID header.
Task B is trying to write to PEB X.
Task A: in 'ubi_io_read_vid_hdr()': reads the VID header from PEB X.
The read data contain all 0xFF bytes.
Task B: writes VID header and some data to PEB X
Task A: assumes PEB X is empty, calls 'paranoid_check_all_ff()', which
fails.
The solution for this problem is to make 'paranoid_check_all_ff()'
re-read the VID header, re-check it, and only if it is not there,
check the rest. This now implemented by the 'paranoid_check_empty()'
function.

devpts_get_sb() calls memset(0) to clear mount options and calls

The memset(0) is bogus since the 'mode' and 'ptmxmode' options are

anyway and can properly deal with NULL mount options.
So in devpts_get_sb() remove memset(0) and call parse_mount_options() even

If two CPU's simultaneously call ext4_ext_get_blocks() at the same
time, there is nothing protecting the i_cached_extent structure from
being used and updated at the same time. This could potentially cause
the wrong location on disk to be read or written to, including
potentially causing the corruption of the block group descriptors
and/or inode table.
This bug has been in the ext4 code since almost the very beginning of
ext4's development. Fortunately once the data is stored in the page
cache cache, ext4_get_blocks() doesn't need to be called, so trying to
replicate this problem to the point where we could identify its root
cause was *extremely* difficult. Many thanks to Kevin Shanahan for
working over several months to be able to reproduce this easily so we
could finally nail down the cause of the corruption.

A couple of issues crept in since about 2.6.27 related to accessing PCI
device ROMs on various powerpc machines.
First, historically, we don't allocate the ROM resource in the resource
tree. I'm not entirely certain of why, I susepct they often contained
garbage on x86 but it's hard to tell. This causes the current generic
code to always call pci_assign_resource() when trying to access the said
ROM from sysfs, which will try to re-assign some new address regardless
of what the ROM BAR was already set to at boot time. This can be a
problem on hypervisor platforms like pSeries where we aren't supposed
to move PCI devices around (and in fact probably can't).
Second, our code that generates the PCI tree from the OF device-tree
(instead of doing config space probing) which we mostly use on pseries
at the moment, didn't set the (new) flag IORESOURCE_SIZEALIGN on any
resource. That means that any attempt at re-assigning such a resource
with pci_assign_resource() would fail due to resource_alignment()
returning 0.
This fixes this by doing these two things:
- The code that calculates resource flags based on the OF device-node
is improved to set IORESOURCE_SIZEALIGN on any valid BAR, and while at
it also set IORESOURCE_READONLY for ROMs since we were lacking that too
- We now allocate ROM resources as part of the resource tree. However
to limit the chances of nasty conflicts due to busted firmwares, we
only do it on the second pass of our two-passes allocation scheme,
so that all valid and enabled BARs get precedence.
This brings pSeries back the ability to access PCI ROMs via sysfs (and
thus initialize various video cards from X etc...).

Description
-----------
Change ppc64 oprofile kernel driver to use the SLOT bits (MMCRA[37:39]only on
older processors where those bits are defined.
Background
----------
The performance monitor unit of the 64-bit POWER processor family has the
ability to collect accurate instruction-level samples when profiling on marked
events (i.e., "PM_MRK_<event-name>"). In processors prior to POWER6, the MMCRA
register contained "slot information" that the oprofile kernel driver used to
adjust the value latched in the SIAR at the time of a PMU interrupt. But as of
POWER6, these slot bits in MMCRA are no longer necessary for oprofile to use,
since the SIAR itself holds the accurate sampled instruction address. With
POWER6, these MMCRA slot bits were zero'ed out by hardware so oprofile's use of
these slot bits was, in effect, a NOP. But with POWER7, these bits are no
longer zero'ed out; however, they serve some other purpose rather than slot
information. Thus, using these bits on POWER7 to adjust the SIAR value results
in samples being attributed to the wrong instructions. The attached patch
changes the oprofile kernel driver to ignore these slot bits on all newer
processors starting with POWER6.
