96d0821cac [PATCH] Fix function/macro name collision on i386 oprofile
The i386 OProfile code has a function named nmi_exit(), which collides with
the nmi_exit() macro in linux/hardirq.h.  At the moment, we get away with
it, because hardirq.h isn't included in the oprofile code.  I hit this as a
bug when working with a patch which (indirectly) adds a #include of
hardirq.h to oprofile.

Regardless, the name collision is probably not a good idea, so this patch
fixes it, renaming the oprofile function to op_nmi_exit().  It also renames
the nmi_init() and nmi_timer_init() functions similarly, for consistency.

202e5979af [PATCH] compat: be more consistent about [ug]id_t
When I first wrote the compat layer patches, I was somewhat cavalier about
the definition of compat_uid_t and compat_gid_t (or maybe I just
misunderstood :-)).  This patch makes the compat types much more consistent
with the types we are being compatible with and hopefully will fix a few
bugs along the way.

	compat type		type in compat arch
	__compat_[ug]id_t	__kernel_[ug]id_t
	__compat_[ug]id32_t	__kernel_[ug]id32_t
	compat_[ug]id_t		[ug]id_t

The difference is that compat_uid_t is always 32 bits (for the archs we
care about) but __compat_uid_t may be 16 bits on some.

19306059cd [PATCH] NMI: Update NMI users of RCU to use new API
Uses of RCU for dynamically changeable NMI handlers need to use the new
rcu_dereference() and rcu_assign_pointer() facilities.  This change makes
it clear that these uses are safe from a memory-barrier viewpoint, but the
main purpose is to document exactly what operations are being protected by
RCU.  This has been tested on x86 and x86-64, which are the only
architectures affected by this change.

8446f1d391 [PATCH] detect soft lockups
This patch adds a new kernel debug feature: CONFIG_DETECT_SOFTLOCKUP.

When enabled then per-CPU watchdog threads are started, which try to run
once per second.  If they get delayed for more than 10 seconds then a
callback from the timer interrupt detects this condition and prints out a
warning message and a stack dump (once per lockup incident).  The feature
is otherwise non-intrusive, it doesnt try to unlock the box in any way, it
only gets the debug info out, automatically, and on all CPUs affected by
the lockup.

c078d3266e [PATCH] x86_64: print processor number in show_regs
Up to date I've been using the GS value to determine the processor number
in dumps from show_regs, however this can be cumbersome to do if you don't
have the vmlinux to verify with the address of cpu_pda, how about the
following?  I considered using hard_smp_processor_id for robustness but we
already dereference current so we're already relying on MSR_GS_BASE being
sane.

54d5d42404 [PATCH] x86/x86_64: deferred handling of writes to /proc/irqxx/smp_affinity
When handling writes to /proc/irq, current code is re-programming rte
entries directly. This is not recommended and could potentially cause
chipset's to lockup, or cause missing interrupts.

CONFIG_IRQ_BALANCE does this correctly, where it re-programs only when the
interrupt is pending. The same needs to be done for /proc/irq handling as well.
Otherwise user space irq balancers are really not doing the right thing.

- Changed pending_irq_balance_cpumask to pending_irq_migrate_cpumask for
  lack of a generic name.
- added move_irq out of IRQ_BALANCE, and added this same to X86_64
- Added new proc handler for write, so we can do deferred write at irq
  handling time.
- Display of /proc/irq/XX/smp_affinity used to display CPU_MASKALL, instead
  it now shows only active cpu masks, or exactly what was set.
- Provided a common move_irq implementation, instead of duplicating
  when using generic irq framework.

Tested on i386/x86_64 and ia64 with CONFIG_PCI_MSI turned on and off.
Tested UP builds as well.

MSI testing: tbd: I have cards, need to look for a x-over cable, although I
did test an earlier version of this patch.  Will test in a couple days.

b6d09449d5 [PATCH] s390: pfault interrupt race
There is a race in pfault_interrupt.  That function gets called two times for
each pfault notification.  Once with a subcode of 0 to indicate that a real
page is not available and once with a subcode of 0x80 to indicate that the
page is present again.

Since the two external interrupts can be delivered on two different cpus the
order in which the two calls are made is unpredictable.  It is possible that
the subcode 0x80 interrupt is completed before the subcode 0x00 interrupt has
done the wake_up() call.

To avoid calling wake_up() on an already removed task structure proper task
structure reference counting is needed.  Increase the reference counter in the
subcode 0x00 interrupt before setting pfault_wait to zero and return the
reference after the wake_up call.

5) the machine check handler may not call UPDATE_VTIME before

d9838d8653 [PATCH] uml: allow host capability usage to be disabled
Add new cmdline setups:
  - noprocmm
  - noptracefaultinfo
In case of testing, they can be used to switch off usage of
/proc/mm and PTRACE_FAULTINFO independently.

07bf731e4b [PATCH] uml: skas0 stubs now check system call return values
Change syscall-stub's data to include a "expected retval".

Stub now checks syscalls retval and aborts execution of syscall list, if
retval != expected retval.

run_syscall_stub prints the data of the failed syscall, using the data pointer
and retval written by the stub to the beginning of the stack.

one_syscall_stub is removed, to simplify code, because only some instructions
are saved by one_syscall_stub, no host-syscall.

Using the stub with additional data (modify_ldt via stub)
is prepared also.
