81e627e00a move stk17ta8's probe function to .devinit.text
A pointer to stk17ta8_rtc_probe is passed to the core via
platform_driver_register and so the function must not disappear when the
.init sections are discarded.  Otherwise (if also having HOTPLUG=y)
unbinding and binding a device to the driver via sysfs will result in an
oops as does a device being registered late.

An alternative to this patch is using platform_driver_probe instead of
platform_driver_register plus removing the pointer to the probe function
from the struct platform_driver.

e0c0978699 ataflop: remove buggy/commented-out IRQ disable from do_fd_request()
There is a nice gem in drivers/block/ataflop.c::do_fd_request()

      void do_fd_request(struct request_queue * q)
      {
              unsigned long flags;

              DPRINT(("do_fd_request for pid %d\n",current->pid));
              while( fdc_busy ) sleep_on( &fdc_wait );
              fdc_busy = 1;
              stdma_lock(floppy_irq, NULL);

              atari_disable_irq( IRQ_MFP_FDC );
              local_save_flags(flags);        /* The request function is called with ints
              local_irq_disable();             * disabled... so must save the IPL for later */
              redo_fd_request();
              local_irq_restore(flags);
              atari_enable_irq( IRQ_MFP_FDC );
      }

If you look at the code long enough, you will notioce that the
local_irq_disable() call is actually commented out. This has been
introduced back in 2002 in [1], but as you can see, the same bug has been
there even before, with the sti() call being commented out in the very
same way :)

I am not familiar with the code myself at all, but I guess that the whole
stuff can just be removed. Why do we need save_flags/restore_flags at all,
without actually disabling the local IRQs afterwards? The
redo_fd_request() doesn't seem to do anything that would mess with flags
inconsistently.

[1] http://lkml.org/lkml/2002/12/27/58

Jens:
That does look odd. The comment is correct that the function is entered
with interrupts disabled (and the queue lock held). So I'd say your
patch looks fine, the whole save/restore business looks meaningless.

2c75910f1a x86: Make sure get_user_desc() doesn't sign extend.
The current implementation of get_user_desc() sign extends the return
value because of integer promotion rules.  For the most part, this
doesn't matter, because the top bit of base2 is usually 0.  If, however,
that bit is 1, then the entire value will be 0xffff...  which is
probably not what the caller intended.

This patch casts the entire thing to unsigned before returning, which
generates almost the same assembly as the current code but replaces the
final "cltq" (sign extend) with a "mov %eax %eax" (zero-extend).  This
fixes booting certain guests under KVM.

d39b7dd1dc sgi-gru: decrapfiy options_write() function
Not a single line of actual code in the function was really

Problems ranged from lack of proper range checking, to removing the last
character written (which admittedly is usually '\n'), to not accepting
hex numbers even though the 'show' routine would show the data in that
format.

This tries to do better.

89240ba059 x86, fs: Fix x86 procfs stack information for threads on 64-bit
This patch fixes two issues in the procfs stack information on
x86-64 linux.

The 32 bit loader compat_do_execve did not store stack
start. (this was figured out by Alexey Dobriyan).

The stack information on a x64_64 kernel always shows 0 kbyte
stack usage, because of a missing implementation of the KSTK_ESP
macro which always returned -1.

The new implementation now returns the right value.

Looks like another victim of the confusing kmap() vs kmap_atomic() API
differences.

f60311d5f7 fuse: prevent fuse_put_request on invalid pointer
fuse_direct_io() has a loop where requests are allocated in each
iteration. if allocation fails, the loop is broken out and follows
into an unconditional fuse_put_request() on that invalid pointer.

ed146b2594 ftrace: Fix unmatched locking in ftrace_regex_write()
When a command is passed to the set_ftrace_filter, then
the ftrace_regex_lock is still held going back to user space.

 # echo 'do_open : foo' > set_ftrace_filter
 (still holding ftrace_regex_lock when returning to user space!)

f7112949f6 ring-buffer: Synchronize resizing buffer with reader lock
We got a sudden panic when we reduced the size of the
ringbuffer.

We can reproduce the panic by the following steps:

echo 1 > events/sched/enable
cat trace_pipe > /dev/null &

while ((1))
do
echo 12000 > buffer_size_kb
echo 512 > buffer_size_kb
done

(not more than 5 seconds, panic ...)
