Since commit "85xx: Add support for relocatable kernel (and
booting at non-zero)" (37dd2badcfcec35f5e21a0926968d77a404f03c3),
PHYSICAL_START is #defined as kernstart_addr if RELOCATABLE
and FLATMEM is enabled.
PHYSICAL_START is used in prom_init.c and so kernstart_addr
needs to be added to the list of allowed symbols that
prom_init.c can access.

A change was made to walk_memory_resource() in commit
4b119e21d0c66c22e8ca03df05d9de623d0eb50f that added a
check of find_lmb(). Add the coresponding lmb_add()
call to ps3_mm_add_memory() so that that check will
succeed.
This fixes the condition where the PS3 boots up with
only the 128 MiB of boot memory, and doesn't see the
other 128MiB that is available.

We only need to allocate space for the number of inodes in the cluster
when writing back inodes, not every byte in the inode cluster. This
reduces the amount of memory needing to be allocated to 256 bytes instead
of 64k.

writeback
If we allow memory reclaim to wait on the pages under writeback in inode
cluster writeback we could deadlock because we are currently holding the
ILOCK on the initial writeback inode which is needed in data I/O
completion to change the file size or do unwritten extent conversion
before the pages are taken out of writeback state.

xfs_fsync() fails to wait for data I/O completion before checking if the
inode is dirty or clean to decide whether to log the inode or not. This
misses inode size updates when the data flushed by the fsync() is
extending the file.
Hence, like fdatasync(), we need to wait for I/o completion first, then
check the inode for cleanliness. Doing so makes the behaviour of
xfs_fsync() identical for fsync and fdatasync and we *always* use
synchronous semantics if the inode is dirty. Therefore also kill the
differences and remove the unused flags from the xfs_fsync function and
callers.

On kvm I have seen some rare hangs in stop_machine when I used more guest
cpus than hosts cpus. e.g. 32 guest cpus on 1 host cpu triggered the
hang quite often. I could also reproduce the problem on a 4 way z/VM host with
a 64 way guest.
It turned out that the guest was consuming all available cpus mostly for
spinning on scheduler locks like rq->lock. This is expected as the threads are
calling yield all the time.
The problem is now, that the host scheduling decisings together with the guest
scheduling decisions and spinlocks not being fair managed to create an
interesting scenario similar to a live lock. (Sometimes the hang resolved
itself after some minutes)
Changing stop_machine to yield the cpu to the hypervisor when yielding inside
the guest fixed the problem for me. While I am not completely happy with this
patch, I think it causes no harm and it really improves the situation for me.
I used cpu_relax for yielding to the hypervisor, does that work on all
architectures?
p.s.: If you want to reproduce the problem, cpu hotplug and kprobes use
stop_machine_run and both triggered the problem after some retries.

The offset to the pt_regs area was wrong, so we weren't
looking at the right location for the magic cookie.
A trap frame is composed of a "struct sparc_stackf" then
a "struct pt_regs", the code was using "struct reg_window"
instead of "struct sparc_stackf".

Because of the silly way I set up the initial stack for
new kernel threads, there is a loop at the top of the
stack.
To fix this, properly add another stack frame that is copied
from the parent and terminate it in the child by setting
the frame pointer in that frame to zero.

following patch which simply removes the code for the

show that this code was not built and not used for really a long time.

lib/hexdump.c, except the hex letters' cases:
const char hexbuf[] = "0123456789ABCDEF";
const char hex_asc[] = "0123456789abcdef";
and here to print HW addresses, the hex cases are not significant.

According to David Monro, at least with Natsemi Saturn chips the
cassini driver has some trouble with ipv6 checksums.
Until we have more information about what's going on here, only
use the chip checksums for ipv4.

We are seeing an issue with TCP in handling an ICMP frag needed
message that is received after net.ipv4.tcp_retries1 retransmits.
The default value of retries1 is 3. So if the path mtu changes
and ICMP frag needed is lost for the first 3 retransmits or if
it gets delayed until 3 retransmits are done, TCP doesn't update
MSS correctly and continues to retransmit the orginal message
until it timesout after tcp_retries2 retransmits.
I am seeing this issue even with the latest 2.6.25.4 kernel.
In tcp_retransmit_timer(), when retransmits counter exceeds
tcp_retries1 value, the dst cache entry of the socket is reset.
At this time, if we receive an ICMP frag needed message, the
dst entry gets updated with the new MTU, but the TCP sockets
dst_cache entry remains NULL.
So the next time when we try to retransmit after the ICMP frag
needed is received, tcp_retransmit_skb() gets called. Here the
cur_mss value is calculated at the start of the routine with
a NULL sk_dst_cache. Instead we should call tcp_current_mss after
the rebuild_header that caches the dst entry with the updated mtu.
Also the rebuild_header should be called before tcp_fragment
so that skb is fragmented if the mss goes down.

headers can't be used in userspace without including linux/types.h
first. The headers include their own linux/types.h include statements,
these are stripped by make headers-install because they are inside
#ifdef __KERNEL__ however. Move them out to fix this.
