6020dff092 [ARM] Resolve fuse and direct-IO failures due to missing cache flushes
fuse does not work on ARM due to cache incoherency issues - fuse wants
to use get_user_pages() to copy data from the current process into
kernel space.  However, since this accesses userspace via the kernel
mapping, the kernel mapping can be out of date wrt data written to
userspace.

This can lead to unpredictable behaviour (in the case of fuse) or data
corruption for direct-IO.

This resolves debian bug #402876

a6f36be326 [ARM] pass vma for flush_anon_page()
Since get_user_pages() may be used with processes other than the
current process and calls flush_anon_page(), flush_anon_page() has to
cope in some way with non-current processes.

It may not be appropriate, or even desirable to flush a region of
virtual memory cache in the current process when that is different to
the process that we want the flush to occur for.

Therefore, pass the vma into flush_anon_page() so that the architecture
can work out whether the 'vmaddr' is for the current process or not.

dd0ec16fa6 [PATCH] i386: Restore CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START option
o Relocatable bzImage support had got rid of CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START option
  thinking that now this option is not required as people can build a
  second kernel as relocatable and load it anywhere. So need of compiling
  the kernel for a custom address was gone. But Magnus uses vmlinux images
  for second kernel in Xen environment and he wants to continue to use
  it.

o Restoring the CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START option for the time being. I think
  down the line we can get rid of it.

7bf2368742 [PATCH] swsusp: Do not fail if resume device is not set
In the kernels later than 2.6.19 there is a regression that makes swsusp
fail if the resume device is not explicitly specified.

It can be fixed by adding an additional parameter to
mm/swapfile.c:swap_type_of() allowing us to pass the (struct block_device
*) corresponding to the first available swap back to the caller.

c1150d8cf9 [PATCH] KVM: Improve interrupt response
The current interrupt injection mechanism might delay an interrupt under
the following circumstances:

 - if injection fails because the guest is not interruptible (rflags.IF clear,
   or after a 'mov ss' or 'sti' instruction).  Userspace can check rflags,
   but the other cases or not testable under the current API.
 - if injection fails because of a fault during delivery.  This probably
   never happens under normal guests.
 - if injection fails due to a physical interrupt causing a vmexit so that
   it can be handled by the host.

In all cases the guest proceeds without processing the interrupt, reducing
the interactive feel and interrupt throughput of the guest.

This patch fixes the situation by allowing userspace to request an exit
when the 'interrupt window' opens, so that it can re-inject the interrupt
at the right time.  Guest interactivity is very visibly improved.

dd2c565999 [PATCH] Add AFS_SUPER_MAGIC to magic.h
Jeffrey Altman, one of the gatekeepers of OpenAFS (the open source project
which inherited the Transarc/IBM AFS codebase) has requested that the magic
number 0x5346414F (little endian 'OAFS') be allocated for the f_type field
of the fsinfo structure on Linux:

  https://lists.openafs.org/pipermail/openafs-info/2006-December/024829.html

Add it to include/linux/magic.h, mostly as a way of publishing this number
and ensuring that no other filesystem accidentally uses it.

4b1badf5d9 [PATCH] SPI: define null tx_buf to mean "shift out zeroes"
Some issues were recently turned up with the current specification of what
it means for spi_transfer.tx_buf to be null, as part of transfers which are
(from the SPI protocol driver perspective) pure reads.

Specifically, that it seems better to change the TX behaviour there from
"undefined" to "will shift zeroes".  This lets protocol drivers (like the
ads7846 driver) depend on that behavior.  It's what most controller drivers
in the tree are already doing (with one exception and one case of driver
wanting-to-oops), it's what Microwire hardware will necessarily be doing,
and it removes an issue whereby certain security audits would need to
define such a value anyway as part of removing covert channels.

This patch changes the specification to require shifting zeroes, and
updates all currently merged SPI controller drivers to do so.

52e88f5d4a [PATCH] change WARN_ON back to "BUG: at ..."
WARN_ON() ever triggering is a kernel bug.  Do not try to paper over this
fact by suggesting to the user that this is 'only' a warning, as the

  commit 30e25b71e7
  Author: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@goop.org>
  Date:   Fri Dec 8 02:36:24 2006 -0800

    [PATCH] Fix generic WARN_ON message

    A warning is a warning, not a BUG.

( it might make sense to rename BUG() to CRASH() and BUG_ON() to
  CRASH_ON(), but that does not change the fact that WARN_ON()
  signals a kernel bug. )

i and others objected to this change during lkml review:

  http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=116115160710533&w=2

still the change slipped upstream - grumble :)

Also, use the standard "BUG: " format to make it easier to grep logs and
to make it easier to google for kernel bugs.

9a036b9c33 [TCP]: Fix ambiguity in the `before' relation.
While looking at DCCP sequence numbers, I stumbled over a problem with
the following definition of before in tcp.h:

static inline int before(__u32 seq1, __u32 seq2)
{
        return (__s32)(seq1-seq2) < 0;
}

Problem: This definition suffers from an an ambiguity, i.e. always

           before(a, (a + 2^31) % 2^32)) = 1
           before((a + 2^31) % 2^32), a) = 1

         In text: when the difference between a and b amounts to 2^31,
         a is always considered `before' b, the function can not decide.
         The reason is that implicitly 0 is `before' 1 ... 2^31-1 ... 2^31

Solution: There is a simple fix, by defining before in such a way that
          0 is no longer `before' 2^31, i.e. 0 `before' 1 ... 2^31-1
          By not using the middle between 0 and 2^32, before can be made
          unambiguous.
          This is achieved by testing whether seq2-seq1 > 0 (using signed
          32-bit arithmetic).

I attach a patch to codify this. Also the `after' relation is basically
a redefinition of `before', it is now defined as a macro after before.

01b2d93ca4 [PATCH] fdtable: Provide free_fdtable() wrapper
Christoph Hellwig has expressed concerns that the recent fdtable changes
expose the details of the RCU methodology used to release no-longer-used
fdtable structures to the rest of the kernel.  The trivial patch below
addresses these concerns by introducing the appropriate free_fdtable()
calls, which simply wrap the release RCU usage.  Since free_fdtable() is a
one-liner, it makes sense to promote it to an inline helper.

5c95da9f5a [PATCH] compile error of register_memory()
register_memory() becomes double definition in 2.6.20-rc1.  It is defined
in arch/i386/kernel/setup.c as static definition in 2.6.19.  But it is
moved to arch/i386/kernel/e820.c in 2.6.20-rc1.  And same name function is
defined in driver/base/memory.c too.  So, it becomes cause of compile error
of duplicate definition if memory hotplug option is on.

2aea4fb616 [PATCH] CONFIG_VM_EVENT_COUNTER comment decrustify
The VM event counters, enabled by CONFIG_VM_EVENT_COUNTERS, which provides
VM event counters in /proc/vmstat, has become more essential to
non-EMBEDDED kernel configurations than they were in the past.  Comments in
the code and the Kconfig configuration explanation were stale, downplaying
their role excessively.

Refresh those comments to correctly reflect the current role of VM event
counters.

fba2591bf4 VM: Remove "clear_page_dirty()" and "test_clear_page_dirty()" functions
They were horribly easy to mis-use because of their tempting naming, and
they also did way more than any users of them generally wanted them to
do.

A dirty page can become clean under two circumstances:

 (a) when we write it out.  We have "clear_page_dirty_for_io()" for
     this, and that function remains unchanged.

     In the "for IO" case it is not sufficient to just clear the dirty
     bit, you also have to mark the page as being under writeback etc.

 (b) when we actually remove a page due to it becoming inaccessible to
     users, notably because it was truncate()'d away or the file (or
     metadata) no longer exists, and we thus want to cancel any
     outstanding dirty state.

For the (b) case, we now introduce "cancel_dirty_page()", which only
touches the page state itself, and verifies that the page is not mapped
(since cancelling writes on a mapped page would be actively wrong as it
is still accessible to users).

Some filesystems need to be fixed up for this: CIFS, FUSE, JFS,
ReiserFS, XFS all use the old confusing functions, and will be fixed
separately in subsequent commits (with some of them just removing the
offending logic, and others using clear_page_dirty_for_io()).

This was confirmed by Martin Michlmayr to fix the apt database
corruption on ARM.
