Geert Uytterhoeven bd673c7c3b initrd: cast `initrd_start' to `void *'
commit fb6624ebd9 (initrd: Fix virtual/physical
mix-up in overwrite test) introduced the compiler warning below on mips,
as its virt_to_page() doesn't cast the passed address to unsigned long
internally, unlike on most other architectures:

init/main.c: In function `start_kernel':
init/main.c:633: warning: passing argument 1 of `virt_to_phys' makes pointer from integer without a cast
init/main.c:636: warning: passing argument 1 of `virt_to_phys' makes pointer from integer without a cast

For now, kill the warning by explicitly casting initrd_start to `void *', as
that's the type it should really be.

Borislav Petkov c389d27b5e 8250.c: port.lock is irq-safe
serial8250_startup() doesn't disable interrupts while taking the &up->port.lock
which might race against the interrupt handler serial8250_interrupt(), which
when entered, will deadlock waiting for the lock to be released.

Mathieu Desnoyers 5def9a3a22 markers: fix markers read barrier for multiple probes
Paul pointed out two incorrect read barriers in the marker handler code in
the path where multiple probes are connected.  Those are ordering reads of
"ptype" (single or multi probe marker), "multi" array pointer, and "multi"
array data access.

It should be ordered like this :

read ptype
smp_rmb()
read multi array pointer
smp_read_barrier_depends()
access data referenced by multi array pointer

The code with a single probe connected (optimized case, does not have to
allocate an array) has correct memory ordering.

It applies to kernel 2.6.26.x, 2.6.25.x and linux-next.

Li Zefan 93a6557558 cpuset: fix wrong calculation of relax domain level
When multiple cpusets are overlapping in their 'cpus' and hence they
form a single sched domain, the largest sched_relax_domain_level among
those should be used. But when top_cpuset's sched_load_balance is
set, its sched_relax_domain_level is used regardless other sub-cpusets'.

This patch fixes it by walking the cpuset hierarchy to find the largest
sched_relax_domain_level.

Helge Deller fdac4e69a1 sticore: don't activate unsupported GSC STI cards on HPPA
On HPPA there exists some older GSC graphics cards, which need special
graphic-card-BIOS patching to become supported.  Since we don't have yet
implemented the patching, it's better to detect such cards in advance,
inform to the user that there are known problems and to not activate the
card.

Problematic GSC cards and BIOS versions are:
* Hyperdrive/Hyperbowl (A4071A) graphics card series:
   * ID = 0x2BCB015A (Version 8.04/8)
   * ID = 0x2BCB015A (Version 8.04/11)
* Thunder 1 VISUALIZE 48 card:
   * ID = 0x2F23E5FC (Version 8.05/9)
* Thunder 2 VISUALIZE 48 XP card:
   * ID = 0x2F8D570E (Version 8.05/12)
* Some Hyperion and ThunderHawk GSC cards

Further details are described here:

Alexey Dobriyan reported trouble with LTP with the new fast-gup code,
and Johannes Weiner debugged it to non-page-aligned addresses, where the
new get_user_pages_fast() code would do all the wrong things, including
just traversing past the end of the requested area due to 'addr' never
matching 'end' exactly.

This is not a pretty fix, and we may actually want to move the alignment
into generic code, leaving just the core code per-arch, but Alexey
verified that the vmsplice01 LTP test doesn't crash with this.

Rusty Russell 8c79873da0 lguest: turn Waker into a thread, not a process
lguest uses a Waker process to break it out of the kernel (ie.
actually running the guest) when file descriptor needs attention.

Changing this from a process to a thread somewhat simplifies things:
it can directly access the fd_set of things to watch.  More
importantly, it means that the Waker can see Guest memory correctly,
so /dev/vring file descriptors will work as anticipated (the
alternative is to actually mmap MAP_SHARED, but you can't do that with
/dev/zero).

Rusty Russell aa1249840b lguest: Adaptive timeout
Since the correct timeout value varies, use a heuristic which adjusts
the timeout depending on how many packets we've seen.  This gives
slightly worse results, but doesn't need tweaking when GSO is
introduced.

Rusty Russell a161883a29 lguest: Tell Guest net not to notify us on every packet xmit
virtio_ring has the ability to suppress notifications.  This prevents
a guest exit for every packet, but we need to set a timer on packet
receipt to re-check if there were any remaining packets.

Here are the times for 1G TCP Guest->Host with different timeout
settings (it matters because the TCP window doesn't grow big enough to
fill the entire buffer):

Timeout value	Seconds		Xmit/Recv/Timeout
None (before)	25.3784		xmit 7750233 recv 1
2500 usec	62.5119		xmit 207020 recv 2 timeout 207020
1000 usec	34.5379		xmit 207003 recv 2 timeout 207003
750 usec	29.2305		xmit 207002 recv 1 timeout 207002
500 usec	19.1887		xmit 561141 recv 1 timeout 559657
250 usec	20.0465		xmit 214128 recv 2 timeout 214110
100 usec	19.2583		xmit 561621 recv 1 timeout 560153

(Note that these values are sensitive to the GSO patches which come
 later, and probably other traffic-related variables, so take with a
 large grain of salt).

Mark McLoughlin dec6a2be08 lguest: Support assigning a MAC address
If you've got a nice DHCP configuration which maps MAC
addresses to specific IP addresses, then you're going to
want to start your guest with one of those MAC addresses.

Also, in Fedora, we have persistent network interface naming
based on the MAC address, so with randomly assigned
addresses you're soon going to hit eth13. Who knows what
will happen then!

Allow assigning a MAC address to the network interface with
e.g.

  --tunnet=bridge:eth0:00:FF:95:6B:DA:3D

or:

  --tunnet=192.168.121.1:00:FF:95:6B:DA:3D

which is pretty unintelligable, but ...

(includes Rusty's minor rework)

Rusty Russell 0c12091d82 lguest: Guest int3 fix
Ron Minnich noticed that guest userspace gets a GPF when it tries to int3:
we need to copy the privilege level from the guest-supplied IDT to the real
IDT.  int3 is the only common case where guest userspace expects to invoke
an interrupt, so that's the symptom of failing to do this.
