Arnd Bergmann f807221ded [PATCH] spufs: Disable local interrupts for SPE hash_page calls.
This patch disables and saves local interrupts during
hash_page processing for SPE contexts.

We have to do it explicitly in the spu_irq_class_1_bottom
function. For the interrupt handlers, we get the behaviour
implicitly by using SA_INTERRUPT to disable interrupts while
in the handler.

If a signal handler has been established with the SA_ONSTACK option but no
alternate stack is provided with sigaltstack(), the kernel still tries to
install the alternate stack.  Also when setting an alternate stack with
sigalstack() and the SS_DISABLE flag, the kernel tries to install the
alternate stack on signal delivery.  Use the correct conditions sas_ss_flags()
to check if the alternate stack has to be used.

Andi Kleen 9539d4e79f [PATCH] Mark VMSPLIT EMBEDDED
Running abnormal VM splits causes weird problems - people can set non-standard
splits by accident, then lots of time gets wasted diagnosing it - see the long
"[stable] 2.6.16.6 breaks java...  sort of" email thread.

So we need to make this option harder to set.  Use CONFIG_EMBEDDED for this.

CONFIG_EMBEDDED isn't really the right thing to use, but there's nothing else
obvious and avoiding these problems is more important than Kconfig purity.

Ashok Raj 35076bdfa1 [PATCH] enable X86_PC for HOTPLUG_CPU
CPU_HOTPLUG has race conditions when we use broadcast mode IPI.

- First we introduced no_broadcast option
    (see include/asm-i386/mach-default/mach_ipi.h)

- x86_64 solved it by using physical flat mode (same as bigsmp on i386)
  since this will not use broadcast shortcuts for IPI.

- We switched to use bigsmp on i386 so that we can have same handling as
  x86_64, but apparently this caused an error message, if kernel was
  compiled without X86_GENERICARCH, X86_BIGSMP.  The message "You have >8
  CPUS..." which was bogus and misleading, and only indicated one of the
  above ARCH wasnt selected.

So we do not switch to automatic bigsmp for HOTPLUG_CPU support in i386
until the other related config dependencies for SMP_SUSPEND etc can be done
right.

Some people report that we die on some Macs when we are expecting to
catch machine checks after poking at some random I/O address. I'd seen
it happen on my dual G4 with serial ports until we fixed those to use

This expands the use of check_legacy_ioport() to avoid that situation
even on 32-bit kernels.

Alan Modra f749edae5e [PATCH] powerpc64: Fix loading of modules without a .toc section
Normally, ppc64 module .ko files contain a table-of-contents (.toc)
section, but if the module doesn't reference any static or external
data or external procedures, it is possible for gcc/binutils to
generate a .ko that doesn't have a .toc.  Currently the module
loader refuses to load such a module, since it needs the address
of the .toc section to use in relocations.

This patch fixes the problem by using the address of the .stubs
section instead, which is an acceptable substitute in this situation.

David Gibson f10a04c034 [PATCH] powerpc: Fix pagetable bloat for hugepages
At present, ARCH=powerpc kernels can waste considerable space in
pagetables when making large hugepage mappings.  Hugepage PTEs go in
PMD pages, but each PMD page maps 256M and so contains only 16
hugepage PTEs (128 bytes of data), but takes up a 1024 byte
allocation.  With CONFIG_PPC_64K_PAGES enabled (64k base page size),
the situation is worse.  Now hugepage PTEs are at the PTE page level
(also mapping 256M), so we store 16 hugepage PTEs in a 64k allocation.

The PowerPC MMU already means that any 256M region is either all
hugepage, or all normal pages.  Thus, with some care, we can use a
different allocation for the hugepage PTE tables and only allocate the
128 bytes necessary.

Chandra Seetharaman 649bbaa484 [PATCH] Remove __devinitdata from notifier block definitions
Few of the notifier_chain_register() callers use __devinitdata in the
definition of notifier_block data structure.  It is incorrect as the
data structure should be available after the initializations (they do
not unregister them during initializations).

This was leading to an oops when notifier_chain_register() call is
invoked for those callback chains after initialization.

This patch fixes all such usages to _not_ have the notifier_block data
structure in the init data section.

Al Viro 6ad0013b31 [PATCH] fix mips sys32_p{read,write}
Switched to use of sys_pread64()/sys_pwrite64() rather than keep duplicating
their guts; among the little things that had been missing there were such as
	ret = security_file_permission (file, MAY_READ);
Gotta love the LSM robustness, right?

Jens Axboe 912d35f867 [PATCH] Add support for the sys_vmsplice syscall
sys_splice() moves data to/from pipes with a file input/output. sys_vmsplice()
moves data to a pipe, with the input being a user address range instead.

This uses an approach suggested by Linus, where we can hold partial ranges
inside the pages[] map. Hopefully this will be useful for network
receive support as well.

Russell King 928bd1b470 [ARM] vfp: fix leak of VFP_NAN_FLAG into FPSCR
The VFP code can leak VFP_NAN_FLAG into the FPSCR. It doesn't correspond
to any real FPSCR bit (and overlaps one of the exception flags).
