With David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>
select() presently has a habit of increasing the value of the user's
`timeout' argument on return.
We were writing back a timeout larger than the original. We _deliberately_
round up, since we know we must wait at _least_ as long as the caller asks
us to.
The patch adds a couple of helper functions for magnitude comparison of
timespecs and of timevals, and uses them to prevent the various poll and
select functions from returning a timeout which is larger than the one which
was passed in.
The patch also fixes a bug in compat_sys_pselect7(): it was adding the new
timeout value to the old one and was returning that. It should just return
the new timeout value.
(We have various handy timespec/timeval-to-from-nsec conversion functions in
time.h. But this code open-codes it all).

[description from AK]
The IBM Summit 3 chipset doesn't implement the HPET timer replacement
option. Since the current Linux code relies on it use a mixed mode with
both PIT for the interrupt and HPET counters for the time keeping. That
was already implemented, but didn't work properly because it was still
using the last interrupt offset in HPET. This resulted in x460 not
booting. Fix this up by using the free running HPET counter.
Shouldn't affect any other machine because they either use full HPET mode
or no HPET at all.
TBD needs a similar 32bit fix.

The *at patches introduced fstatat and, due to inusfficient research, I
used the newfstat functions generally as the guideline. The result is that
on 32-bit platforms we don't have all the information needed to implement
fstatat64.
This patch modifies the code to pass up 64-bit information if
__ARCH_WANT_STAT64 is defined. I renamed the syscall entry point to make
this clear. Other archs will continue to use the existing code. On x86-64
the compat code is implemented using a new sys32_ function. this is what
is done for the other stat syscalls as well.
This patch might break some other archs (those which define
__ARCH_WANT_STAT64 and which already wired up the syscall). Yet others
might need changes to accomodate the compatibility mode. I really don't
want to do that work because all this stat handling is a mess (more so in
glibc, but the kernel is also affected). It should be done by the arch
maintainers. I'll provide some stand-alone test shortly. Those who are
eager could compile glibc and run 'make check' (no installation needed).
The patch below has been tested on x86 and x86-64.

Initialising cpu_possible_map to all-ones with CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU means that
a) All for_each_cpu() loops will iterate across all NR_CPUS CPUs, rather
than over possible ones. That can be quite expensive.
b) Soon we'll be allocating per-cpu areas only for possible CPUs. So with
CPU_MASK_ALL, we'll be wasting memory.
I also switched voyager over to not use CPU_MASK_ALL in the non-CPU-hotplug
case. Should be OK..
I note that parisc is also using CPU_MASK_ALL. Suggest that it stop doing
that.

It is possible that the reserved crashkernel region can be overlapped with
initrd since the bootloader sets the initrd location. When the initrd
region is freed, the second kernel memory will not be contiguous. The
Kexec_load can cause an oops since there is no contiguous memory to write
the second kernel or this memory could be used in the first kernel itself
and may not be part of the dump. For example, on powerpc, the initrd is
located at 36MB and the crashkernel starts at 32MB. The kexec_load caused
panic since writing into non-allocated memory (after 36MB). We could see
the similar issue even on other archs.
One possibility is to move the initrd outside of crashkernel region. But,
the initrd region will be freed anyway before the system is up. This patch
fixes this issue and frees only regions that are not part of crashkernel
memory in case overlaps.

netlink overrun was broken while improvement of netlink.
Destination socket is used in the place where it was meant to be source socket,
so that now overrun is never sent to user netlink sockets, when it should be,
and it even can be set on kernel socket, which results in complete deadlock
of rtnetlink.
Suggested fix is to restore status quo passing source socket as additional
argument to netlink_attachskb().
A little explanation: overrun is set on a socket, when it failed
to receive some message and sender of this messages does not or even
have no way to handle this error. This happens in two cases:
1. when kernel sends something. Kernel never retransmits and cannot
wait for buffer space.
2. when user sends a broadcast and the message was not delivered
to some recipients.

Patch from Nicolas Pitre
Since:
if (unlikely(__res || __ex_flag))
produces worse code on ARM than:
if (unlikely(__res | __ex_flag))
I therefore made it more explicit:
__res |= __ex_flag;
if (unlikely(__res != 0))
so it is not seen as a typo again.
Also made everything static inline rather than macros for better readability
(both produce the same code after all).
And finally added missing \t from multi-line assembly code.

q->ordcolor must only be flipped on initial queueing of a hardbarrier
request.
Constructing ordered sequence and requeueing used to pass through
__elv_add_request() which flips q->ordcolor when it sees a barrier
request.
This patch separates out elv_insert() from __elv_add_request() and uses
elv_insert() when constructing ordered sequence and requeueing.
elv_insert() inserts the given request at the specified position and
does nothing else.

This patch adds a windfarm module, windfarm_pm112, for the dual core G5s
(both 2 and 4 core models), keeping the machine from getting into
vacuum-cleaner mode ;) For proper credits, the patch was initially
written by Paul Mackerras, and slightly reworked by me to add overtemp
handling among others. The patch also removes the sysfs attributes from
windfarm_pm81 and windfarm_pm91 and instead adds code to the windfarm
core to automagically expose attributes for sensor & controls.

Compound pages on SMP systems can now often be freed from pagetables via
the release_pages path. This uses put_page_testzero which does not handle
compound pages at all. Releasing constituent pages from process mappings
decrements their count to a large negative number and leaks the reference
at the head page - net result is a memory leak.
The problem was hidden because the debug check in put_page_testzero itself
actually did take compound pages into consideration.
Fix the bug and the debug check.

With the latest 2.6.15 kernel builds for alpha on Debian, we ran into a
problem with undefined references to __cmpxchg_called_with_bad_pointer() in
a couple of kernel modules (xfs.ko and drm.ko; see
http://bugs.debian.org/347556).
It looks like people have been trying to out-clever each other wrt the
definition of "inline" on this architecture :), with the result that
__cmpxchg(), which must be inlined so the compiler can see its argument is
const, is not guaranteed to be inlined. Indeed, it was not being inlined
when building with -Os.
The attached patch fixes the issue by adding an
__attribute__((always_inline)) explicitly to the definition of __cmpxchg()
instead of relying on redefines of "inline" elsewhere to make this happen.
