devpts_get_sb() calls memset(0) to clear mount options and calls parse_mount_options() if user specified any mount options. The memset(0) is bogus since the 'mode' and 'ptmxmode' options are non-zero by default. parse_mount_options() restores options to default anyway and can properly deal with NULL mount options. So in devpts_get_sb() remove memset(0) and call parse_mount_options() even for NULL mount options. Bug reported by Eric Paris: http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/5/7/448.

The treatment of the SP register is different on x86_64 and i386. This is a regression fix that lived outside the mainline kernel from 2.6.27 to now. The regression was a result of the original merge consolidation of the i386 and x86_64 archs to x86. The incorrectly reported SP on i386 prevented stack tracebacks from working correctly in gdb.

Commit 79e53945 introduced a regression where you cannot use sysrq 'g' to enter kgdb. The solution is to move the intel fb sysrq over to V for video instead of G for graphics. The SMP VOYAGER code to register for the sysrq-v is not anywhere to be found in the mainline kernel, so the comments in the code were cleaned up as well. This patch also cleans up the sysrq definitions for kgdb to make it generic for the kernel debugger, such that the sysrq 'g' can be used in the future to enter a gdbstub or another kernel debugger.

This reverts commit fafd688e. Work is progressing to switch away from pdflush as the process backing for flushing out dirty data. So it seems pointless to add more knobs to control pdflush threads. The original author of the patch did not have any specific use cases for adding the knobs, so we can easily revert this before 2.6.30 to avoid having to maintain this API forever.

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...). Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

My previous pach for fixing the oprofile CPU type got somewhat mismerged (by my fault) when it collided with another related patch. This should finally (fingers crossed) fix the whole thing. We make sure we keep the -old- oprofile type and CPU type whenever one of them was specified in the first pass through the function. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

There have been a series of checkstops on QS21 related to ptcal being set up incorrectly. On systems that only have memory on a single node, ptcal fails when it gets a pointer to memory on the remote node. Moreover, agressive prefetching in memcpy and other functions may accidentally touch the first cache line of the page that we reserve for ptcal, which causes an ECC checkstop. We now allocate pages only from the specified node, moves the ptcal area into the middle of the allocated page to avoid potential prefetch problems and prints the address of the ptcal area to facilitate diagnostics.

Before when we were setting up the irq host map for mpic we passed in just isu_size for the size of the linear map. However, for a number of mpic implementations we have no isu (thus pass in 0) and will end up with a no linear map (size = 0). This causes us to always call irq_find_mapping() from mpic_get_irq(). By moving the allocation of the host map to after we've determined the number of sources we can actually benefit from having a linear map for the non-isu users that covers all the interrupt sources.

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.

Commit 4fc665b8 "powerpc: Merge 32 and 64-bit dma code" made changes to the PCI initialisation code that added an assignment to archdata.dma_data but only for 32 bit code. Commit 7eef440a "powerpc/pci: Cosmetic cleanups of pci-common.c" removed the conditional compilation. Unfortunately, the iSeries code setup the archdata.dma_data before that assignment was done - effectively overwriting the dma_data with NULL. Fix this up by moving the iSeries setup of dma_data into a pci_dma_dev_setup callback.

When a btrfs metadata read fails, the first thing we try to do is find a good copy on another mirror of the block. If this fails, read_tree_block() ends up returning a buffer that isn't up to date. The btrfs btree reading code was reworked to drop locks and repeat the search when IO was done, but the changes didn't add a check for failed reads. The end result was looping forever on buffers that were never going to become up to date. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>

When init is started it is SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE. If it were to get an address error, we would try to send it SIGBUS, but it would be ignored and the faulting instruction restarted. This results in an endless loop. We need to use force_sig() instead so it will actually die and give us some useful information.
