On my tulsa x86-64 machine, kernel 2.6.25-rc5 couldn't boot randomly.

Basically, function __enable_runtime forgets to reset rt_rq->rt_throttled
to 0. When every cpu is up, per-cpu migration_thread is created and it runs
very fast, sometimes to mark the corresponding rt_rq->rt_throttled to 1 very
quickly. After all cpus are up, with below calling chain:

   sched_init_smp => arch_init_sched_domains => build_sched_domains => ...
=> cpu_attach_domain => rq_attach_root => set_rq_online => ...
=> _enable_runtime

_enable_runtime is called against every rt_rq again, so rt_rq->rt_time is
reset to 0, but rt_rq->rt_throttled might be still 1. Later on function
do_sched_rt_period_timer couldn't reset it, and all RT tasks couldn't be
scheduled to run on that cpu. here is RT task migration_thread which is
woken up when a task is migrated to another cpu.

Below patch fixes it against 2.6.27-rc5.

What I realized recently is that calling rebuild_sched_domains() in
arch_reinit_sched_domains() by itself is not enough when cpusets are enabled.
partition_sched_domains() code is trying to avoid unnecessary domain rebuilds
and will not actually rebuild anything if new domain masks match the old ones.

What this means is that doing
     echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/sched_mc_power_savings
on a system with cpusets enabled will not take affect untill something changes
in the cpuset setup (ie new sets created or deleted).

This patch fixes restore correct behaviour where domains must be rebuilt in
order to enable MC powersaving flags.

Spencer reported a problem where utime and stime were going negative despite
the fixes in commit b27f03d4. The suspected
reason for the problem is that signal_struct maintains it's own utime and
stime (of exited tasks), these are not updated using the new task_utime()
routine, hence sig->utime can go backwards and cause the same problem
to occur (sig->utime, adds tsk->utime and not task_utime()). This patch
fixes the problem

TODO: using max(task->prev_utime, derived utime) works for now, but a more
generic solution is to implement cputime_max() and use the cputime_gt()
function for comparison.

Commit 88452565 ("PCI: clean up resource
alignment management") changed the resource handling to mark how a
resource was aligned on a per-resource basis.

Thus, instead of looking at the resource number to determine whether it
was a bridge resource or a regular resource (they have different
alignment rules), we should just ask the resource for its alignment
directly.

The reason this broke only cardbus resources was that for the other
types of resources, the old way of deciding alignment actually still
happened to work.  But CardBus bridge resources had been changed by
commit 934b7024 ("Fix cardbus resource
allocation") to look more like regular resources than PCI bridge
resources from an alignment handling standpoint.

The allocated RX buffer size was 64 bytes bigger than the PCI mapped
size with no good reason. If the packet was actually using the buffer up
to its limit and if the last 64 bytes of the buffer crossed 4KB boundary
then an unmapped PCI page was accessed. The fix is to use only one
parameter for the buffer size - there is no need to differentiate
between the buffer size and the PCI mapping size since the extra 64
bytes can actually be used by the FW to align the Ethernet payload to
64 bytes.

This patch is a W/A for the TSF sync issue in IBSS merging. HW is not
capable to sync TSF (it's constantly little behind). This creates
constant IBSS merging upon reception of each beacon, adding and removing
station which in turn creates above 50% packet loss and thus dramatically
degrade the throughput. The W/A simply stops the driver from declaring it
has a reliable TSF value and thus eliminates IBSS merging.

-fno-omit-frame-pointer is only needed on powerpc when -pg is also
supplied, and there is a gcc bug that causes incorrect code generation
on 32-bit powerpc when -fno-omit-frame-pointer is used---it uses stack
locations below the stack pointer, which is not allowed by the ABI
because those locations can and sometimes do get corrupted by an
interrupt.

This ensures that CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is only selected by ftrace.
When CONFIG_FTRACE is enabled we also pass -mno-sched-epilog to work

Commit bc033b63 ("powerpc/mm: Fix

whether we should make pages of the linear mapping executable from
htab_bolt_mapping into its callers, including htab_initialize.
A side-effect of this is that the decision is now made once for
each contiguous section in the LMB array rather than for each page
individually.  This can often mean that the whole of the linear
mapping ends up being executable.

This reverts to the previous behaviour, where individual pages are
checked for being part of the kernel text or not, by moving the check
back down into htab_bolt_mapping.
