The i386 page fault handler does not allow enough slack when checking for
userspace access below the current stack pointer. This prevents use of the
enter instruction by user code. Fix this by allowing enough slack for
"enter $65535,$31" to execute.

On i386, kernel irq balance doesn't work.
1) In function do_irq_balance, after kernel finds the min_loaded cpu but
before calling set_pending_irq to really pin the selected_irq to the
target cpu, kernel does a cpus_and with irq_affinity[selected_irq].
Later on, when the irq is acked, kernel would calls
move_native_irq=>desc->handler->set_affinity to change the irq affinity.
However, every function pointed by
hw_interrupt_type->set_affinity(unsigned int irq, cpumask_t cpumask)
always changes irq_affinity[irq] to cpumask. Next time when recalling
do_irq_balance, it has to do cpu_ands again with
irq_affinity[selected_irq], but irq_affinity[selected_irq] already
becomes one cpu selected by the first irq balance.
2) Function balance_irq in file arch/i386/kernel/io_apic.c has the same
issue.

When multiple updates matching a given CPU are found in the update file, the
action taken by the microcode update driver was inappropriate:
- when lower revision microcode was found before matching or higher revision
one, the driver would needlessly complain that it would not downgrade the
CPU
- when microcode matching the currently installed revision was found before
newer revision code, no update would actually take place
To change this behavior, the driver now concludes about possibly updates and
issues messages only when the entire input was parsed.
Additionally, this adds back (in different places, and conditionalized upon
a new module option) some messages removed by a previous patch.

move_pages() is used to move individual pages of a process. The function can
be used to determine the location of pages and to move them onto the desired
node. move_pages() returns status information for each page.
long move_pages(pid, number_of_pages_to_move,
addresses_of_pages[],
nodes[] or NULL,
status[],
flags);
The addresses of pages is an array of void * pointing to the
pages to be moved.
The nodes array contains the node numbers that the pages should be moved
to. If a NULL is passed instead of an array then no pages are moved but
the status array is updated. The status request may be used to determine
the page state before issuing another move_pages() to move pages.
The status array will contain the state of all individual page migration
attempts when the function terminates. The status array is only valid if
move_pages() completed successfullly.
Possible page states in status[]:
0..MAX_NUMNODES The page is now on the indicated node.
-ENOENT Page is not present
-EACCES Page is mapped by multiple processes and can only
be moved if MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL is specified.
-EPERM The page has been mlocked by a process/driver and
cannot be moved.
-EBUSY Page is busy and cannot be moved. Try again later.
-EFAULT Invalid address (no VMA or zero page).
-ENOMEM Unable to allocate memory on target node.
-EIO Unable to write back page. The page must be written
back in order to move it since the page is dirty and the
filesystem does not provide a migration function that
would allow the moving of dirty pages.
-EINVAL A dirty page cannot be moved. The filesystem does not provide
a migration function and has no ability to write back pages.
The flags parameter indicates what types of pages to move:
MPOL_MF_MOVE Move pages that are only mapped by the process.
MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL Also move pages that are mapped by multiple processes.
Requires sufficient capabilities.
Possible return codes from move_pages()
-ENOENT No pages found that would require moving. All pages
are either already on the target node, not present, had an
invalid address or could not be moved because they were
mapped by multiple processes.
-EINVAL Flags other than MPOL_MF_MOVE(_ALL) specified or an attempt
to migrate pages in a kernel thread.
-EPERM MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL specified without sufficient priviledges.
or an attempt to move a process belonging to another user.
-EACCES One of the target nodes is not allowed by the current cpuset.
-ENODEV One of the target nodes is not online.
-ESRCH Process does not exist.
-E2BIG Too many pages to move.
-ENOMEM Not enough memory to allocate control array.
-EFAULT Parameters could not be accessed.
A test program for move_pages() may be found with the patches
on ftp.kernel.org:/pub/linux/kernel/people/christoph/pmig/patches-2.6.17-rc4-mm3
From: Christoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com>
Detailed results for sys_move_pages()
Pass a pointer to an integer to get_new_page() that may be used to
indicate where the completion status of a migration operation should be
placed. This allows sys_move_pags() to report back exactly what happened to
each page.
Wish there would be a better way to do this. Looks a bit hacky.

Modify the gen_pool allocator (lib/genalloc.c) to utilize a bitmap scheme
instead of the buddy scheme. The purpose of this change is to eliminate
the touching of the actual memory being allocated.
Since the change modifies the interface, a change to the uncached allocator
(arch/ia64/kernel/uncached.c) is also required.
Both Andrey Volkov and Jes Sorenson have expressed a desire that the
gen_pool allocator not write to the memory being managed. See the

Give the statfs superblock operation a dentry pointer rather than a superblock
pointer.
This complements the get_sb() patch. That reduced the significance of
sb->s_root, allowing NFS to place a fake root there. However, NFS does
require a dentry to use as a target for the statfs operation. This permits
the root in the vfsmount to be used instead.
linux/mount.h has been added where necessary to make allyesconfig build
successfully.
Interest has also been expressed for use with the FUSE and XFS filesystems.

Extend the get_sb() filesystem operation to take an extra argument that
permits the VFS to pass in the target vfsmount that defines the mountpoint.
The filesystem is then required to manually set the superblock and root dentry
pointers. For most filesystems, this should be done with simple_set_mnt()
which will set the superblock pointer and then set the root dentry to the
superblock's s_root (as per the old default behaviour).
The get_sb() op now returns an integer as there's now no need to return the
superblock pointer.
This patch permits a superblock to be implicitly shared amongst several mount
points, such as can be done with NFS to avoid potential inode aliasing. In
such a case, simple_set_mnt() would not be called, and instead the mnt_root
and mnt_sb would be set directly.
The patch also makes the following changes:
(*) the get_sb_*() convenience functions in the core kernel now take a vfsmount
pointer argument and return an integer, so most filesystems have to change
very little.
(*) If one of the convenience function is not used, then get_sb() should
normally call simple_set_mnt() to instantiate the vfsmount. This will
always return 0, and so can be tail-called from get_sb().
(*) generic_shutdown_super() now calls shrink_dcache_sb() to clean up the
dcache upon superblock destruction rather than shrink_dcache_anon().
This is required because the superblock may now have multiple trees that
aren't actually bound to s_root, but that still need to be cleaned up. The
currently called functions assume that the whole tree is rooted at s_root,
and that anonymous dentries are not the roots of trees which results in
dentries being left unculled.
However, with the way NFS superblock sharing are currently set to be
implemented, these assumptions are violated: the root of the filesystem is
simply a dummy dentry and inode (the real inode for '/' may well be
inaccessible), and all the vfsmounts are rooted on anonymous[*] dentries
with child trees.
[*] Anonymous until discovered from another tree.
(*) The documentation has been adjusted, including the additional bit of
changing ext2_* into foo_* in the documentation.

Upgrade the zlib_inflate implementation in the kernel from a patched
version 1.1.3/4 to a patched 1.2.3.
The code in the kernel is about seven years old and I noticed that the
external zlib library's inflate performance was significantly faster (~50%)
than the code in the kernel on ARM (and faster again on x86_32).
For comparison the newer deflate code is 20% slower on ARM and 50% slower
on x86_32 but gives an approx 1% compression ratio improvement. I don't
consider this to be an improvement for kernel use so have no plans to
change the zlib_deflate code.
Various changes have been made to the zlib code in the kernel, the most
significant being the extra functions/flush option used by ppp_deflate.
This update reimplements the features PPP needs to ensure it continues to
work.
This code has been tested on ARM under both JFFS2 (with zlib compression
enabled) and ppp_deflate and on x86_32. JFFS2 sees an approx. 10% real
world file read speed improvement.
This patch also removes ZLIB_VERSION as it no longer has a correct value.
We don't need version checks anyway as the kernel's module handling will
take care of that for us. This removal is also more in keeping with the
zlib author's wishes (http://www.zlib.net/zlib_faq.html#faq24) and I've
added something to the zlib.h header to note its a modified version.

Patch from Rod Whitby
This patch implements NEW_LEDS support for the Linksys NSLU2. The
NSLU2 has four LED indicators, which are the only form of output for
an unmodified device - there is no keyboard or display on an NSLU2.
For an NSLU2 which has been modified to bring out the serial port
console, it is important to register that device first separately, to
enable debugging of other device support.

Patch from Nicolas Pitre
The RESTARTBLOCK case currently store some code on the stack to invoke
sys_restart_syscall. However this is ABI dependent and there is a
mismatch with the way __NR_restart_syscall gets defined when the kernel
is compiled for EABI.
There is also a long standing bug in the thumb case since with OABI the
__NR_restart_syscall value includes __NR_SYSCALL_BASE which should not
be the case for Thumb syscalls.

Since we pass flags to the compiler to control code generation based
on the least capable selected CPU, if we want to include VFP support,
we must tweak the assembler flags to allow the VFP instructions.
Moreover, we must not use the mrrc/mcrr versions since these will not
be recognised by the assembler.
We do not convert all instructions to the VFP-equivalent (yet) since
binutils appears to barf on "fmrx rn, fpinst" and doesn't provide any
other way (other than using the mrc equivalent) to encode this
instruction - which is rather a problem when you have a VFP
implementation which requires these instructions.
