a376e79c60 forcedeth: mac address fix
This critical patch fixes a mac address issue recently introduced.  If the
device's mac address was in correct order and the flag
NVREG_TRANSMITPOLL_MAC_ADDR_REV was set, during nv_remove the flag would get
cleared.  During next load, the mac address would get reversed because the
flag is missing.

As it has been indicated previously, the flag is cleared across a low power
transition.  Therefore, the driver should set the mac address back into the
reversed order when clearing the flag.

Also, the driver should set back the flag after a low power transition to
protect against kexec command calling nv_probe a second time.

This is fine, but Documentation/spinlocks.txt isn't very clear on how to

b0fac02370 Fix "$(AS) -traditional" compile breakage caused by asmlinkage_protect
git commit 54a0151041 ("asmlinkage_protect
replaces prevent_tail_call") causes this build failure on s390:

    AS      arch/s390/kernel/entry64.o
  In file included from arch/s390/kernel/entry64.S:14:

  make[1]: *** [arch/s390/kernel/entry64.o] Error 1
  make: *** [arch/s390/kernel] Error 2

and some other architectures.  The reason is that some architectures add
the "-traditional" flag to the invocation of $(AS), which disables
variadic macro argument support.

So just surround the new define with an #ifndef __ASSEMBLY__ to prevent
any side effects on asm code.

544451a1a3 pnp: increase number of devices supported per protocol
Increase the PNP "number of devices" limit.  We currently use an unsigned
char, which limits us to 256 devices per protocol.  This patch changes that to
an unsigned int.

Not all backends can take advantage of this: we limit ISAPNP to 10 devices in
isapnp_cfg_begin(), and PNPBIOS is limited to 256 devices because the BIOS
interfaces use a one-byte device node number.

But there is no limit on the number of PNPACPI devices we may have.  Large HP
Integrity machines have more than 256, which causes the current "unsigned char
number" to wrap around.  This causes errors like this:

    pnp: PnP ACPI init
    kobject_add failed for 00:00 with -EEXIST, don't try to register things with the same name in the same directory.

    Call Trace:

     [<a0000001007f2810>] pnpacpi_add_device_handler+0x50/0x80

This patch increases the limit to fix this PNPACPI problem.  It should not
have any adverse effect on ISAPNP or PNPBIOS because their limits are still
enforced in the backends.

bd2ab67030 md: close a livelock window in handle_parity_checks5
If a failure is detected after a parity check operation has been initiated,
but before it completes handle_parity_checks5 will never quiesce operations on
the stripe.

Explicitly handle this case by "canceling" the parity check, i.e.  clear the
STRIPE_OP_CHECK flags and queue the stripe on the handle list again to refresh
any non-uptodate blocks.

Kernel versions >= 2.6.23 are susceptible.

Extend the /proc/<pid>/cgroup file to include the appropriate hierarchy ID on

Currently this ID isn't really needed since a hierarchy can be completely
identified by the set of subsystems bound to it, but this is likely to change
in the near future in order to support stateless subsystems and
merging/rebinding of subsystems.  Getting this change into 2.6.25 reduces the
need for an API change later.

d10d89ec78 Add commentary about the new "asmlinkage_protect()" macro
It's really a pretty ugly thing to need, and some day it will hopefully
be obviated by teaching gcc about the magic calling conventions for the
low-level system call code, but in the meantime we can at least add big
honking comments about why we need these insane and strange macros.

I took my comments from my version of the macro, but I ended up deciding
to just pick Roland's version of the actual code instead (with his
prettier syntax that uses vararg macros).  Thus the previous two commits
that actually implement it.

598af051a7 asmlinkage_protect sys_io_getevents
Use asmlinkage_protect in sys_io_getevents, because GCC for i386 with
CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=n can decide to clobber an argument word on the
stack, i.e. the user struct pt_regs.  Here the problem is not a tail
call, but just the compiler's use of the stack when it inlines and
optimizes the body of the called function.  This seems to avoid it.

54a0151041 asmlinkage_protect replaces prevent_tail_call
The prevent_tail_call() macro works around the problem of the compiler
clobbering argument words on the stack, which for asmlinkage functions
is the caller's (user's) struct pt_regs.  The tail/sibling-call
optimization is not the only way that the compiler can decide to use
stack argument words as scratch space, which we have to prevent.
Other optimizations can do it too.

Until we have new compiler support to make "asmlinkage" binding on the
compiler's own use of the stack argument frame, we have work around all
the manifestations of this issue that crop up.

More cases seem to be prevented by also keeping the incoming argument
variables live at the end of the function.  This makes their original
stack slots attractive places to leave those variables, so the compiler
tends not clobber them for something else.  It's still no guarantee, but
it handles some observed cases that prevent_tail_call() did not.

783e391b7b x86: Simplify cpu_idle_wait
This patch also resolves hangs on boot:
	http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/2/23/263
	http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10093

The bug was causing once-in-few-reboots 10-15 sec wait during boot on
certain laptops.

Earlier commit 40d6a14662 added
smp_call_function in cpu_idle_wait() to kick cpus that are in tickless
idle.  Looking at cpu_idle_wait code at that time, code seemed to be
over-engineered for a case which is rarely used (while changing idle
handler).

Below is a simplified version of cpu_idle_wait, which just makes a dummy
smp_call_function to all cpus, to make them come out of old idle handler
and start using the new idle handler.  It eliminates code in the idle
loop to handle cpu_idle_wait.

Shift of a LE value seems strange, probably meant to shift the cpu-order
variable as in the prvious section of the switch statement.

ed9b949f55 FRV: Make NOMMU-mode work with base addresses other than 0xC0000000 [try #2]
Make NOMMU-mode work with base addresses other than 0xC0000000 by:

 (1) Giving the code that sets up the protection registers the right address
     in __sdram_base.  Rather than being hard coded to 0xC0000000, the value
     of __page_offset is obtained from the linker script.

 (2) Eliminate the check in __switch_to() that verifies the current thread
     info is in the 0xCxxxxxxx region.

a31b9dd8ed FRV: Handle update_mmu_cache() being called when current->mm is NULL [try #2]
Handle update_mmu_cache() being called when current->mm is NULL.

We cache static TLB mappings for the current page table in DAMPR4 and DAMPR5
on the theory that the next data lookup is likely to be in the same general
region, and thus is likely to be mapped by the same page table.  However, we
can't get this information if we can't access the appropriate mm_struct.

If current->mm is NULL, we just clear the cache in the knowledge that the TLB
miss handlers will load it.

76b0c26af2 HFS+: fix unlink of links
Some time ago while attempting to handle invalid link counts, I botched
the unlink of links itself, so this patch fixes this now correctly, so
that only the link count of nodes that don't point to links is ignored.
Thanks to Vlado Plaga <rechner@vlado-do.de> to notify me of this
problem.
