1eecd73cce [PATCH] x86_64: Fix race in TSC synchronization
Plug a race in TSC synchronization

We need to do tsc_sync_wait() before the CPU is set online to prevent
multiple CPUs from doing it in parallel - which won't work because TSC
sync has global unprotected state.

cd3716ab40 [PATCH] Mobil Pentium 4 HT and the NMI
I'm trying to get the nmi working with my laptop (IBM ThinkPad G41) and after
debugging it a while, I found that the nmi code doesn't want to set it up for

Here I have:

And the following code shows:

$ cat linux-2.6.13-rc6/arch/i386/kernel/nmi.c

[...]

void setup_apic_nmi_watchdog (void)
{
        switch (boot_cpu_data.x86_vendor) {
        case X86_VENDOR_AMD:
                if (boot_cpu_data.x86 != 6 && boot_cpu_data.x86 != 15)
                        return;
                setup_k7_watchdog();
                break;
        case X86_VENDOR_INTEL:
                 switch (boot_cpu_data.x86) {
                case 6:
                        if (boot_cpu_data.x86_model > 0xd)
                                return;

                        setup_p6_watchdog();
                        break;
                case 15:
                        if (boot_cpu_data.x86_model > 0x3)
                                return;

Here I get boot_cpu_data.x86_model == 0x4.  So I decided to change it and
reboot.  I now seem to have a working NMI.  So, unless there's something know
to be bad about this processor and the NMI.  I'm submitting the following
patch.

cc314eef01 Fix nasty ncpfs symlink handling bug.
This bug could cause oopses and page state corruption, because ncpfs
used the generic page-cache symlink handlign functions.  But those
functions only work if the page cache is guaranteed to be "stable", ie a
page that was installed when the symlink walk was started has to still
be installed in the page cache at the end of the walk.

We could have fixed ncpfs to not use the generic helper routines, but it
is in many ways much cleaner to instead improve on the symlink walking
helper routines so that they don't require that absolute stability.

We do this by allowing "follow_link()" to return a error-pointer as a
cookie, which is fed back to the cleanup "put_link()" routine.  This
also simplifies NFS symlink handling.

2fb1e3086d [PATCH] jffs2: fix symlink error handling
The current calling conventions for ->follow_link() are already fairly
complex.

What we have is
	1) you can return -error; then you must release nameidata yourself
	   and ->put_link() will _not_ be called.
	2) you can do nd_set_link(nd, ERR_PTR(-error)) and return 0
	3) you can do nd_set_link(nd, path) and return 0
	4) you can return 0 (after having moved nameidata yourself)

jffs2 follow_link() is broken - it has an exit where it returns
-EIO and leaks nameidata.

83c4e43722 [SPARC]: Fix weak aliases
sparc_ksyms.c used to declare weak alias to several gcc intrinsics.  It
doesn't work with gcc4 anymore - it wants a declaration for the thing
we are aliasing to and that's not going to happen for something like
.mul, etc.  Replaced with direct injection of weak alias on the assembler
level - .weak <alias> followed by <alias> = <aliased>; that works on all
gcc versions.

da6b2d01d6 [TG3]: Fix SerDes detection
A problem was reported by Grant Grundler on an HP rx8620 using IOX
Core LAN partno(A7109-6) 5701 copper NIC. The tg3 driver mistakenly
detects this NIC as having a SerDes PHY and link does not come up as a
result.

The problem was caused by an incorrectly programmed eeprom that set the
NIC_SRAM_DATA_CFG_PHY_TYPE_FIBER bit in the NIC_SRAM_DATA_CFG location.

This patch will override the NIC_SRAM_DATA_CFG_PHY_TYPE_FIBER bit if a
valid PHY ID is read from the MII registers on older 570x chips where
the MII interface is not used on SerDes chips. On newer chips such as
the 5780 that use MII for both copper and SerDes, SerDes detection must
rely on the eeprom.

This patch will make the SerDes detection identical to versions 3.25 and
older.

9223214e8d [PATCH] md: make sure mddev->bitmap_offset gets cleared between array instantiations.
... otherwise we might try to load a bitmap from an array which hasn't one.

The bug is that if you create an array with an internal bitmap, shut it down,
and then create an array with the same md device, the md drive will assume it
should have a bitmap too.  As the array can be created with a different md
device, it is mostly an inconvenience.  I'm pretty sure there is no risk of
data corruption.

dc59250c6e [PATCH] NFS: Introduce the use of inode->i_lock to protect fields in nfsi
Down the road we want to eliminate the use of the global kernel lock entirely
from the NFS client.  To do this, we need to protect the fields in the
nfs_inode structure adequately.  Start by serializing updates to the
"cache_validity" field.

Note this change addresses an SMP hang found by njw@osdl.org, where processes
deadlock because nfs_end_data_update and nfs_revalidate_mapping update the
"cache_validity" field without proper serialization.

Test plan:
 Millions of fsx ops on SMP clients.  Run Nick Wilson's breaknfs program on
 large SMP clients.

412d582ec1 [PATCH] NFS: use atomic bitops to manipulate flags in nfsi->flags
Introduce atomic bitops to manipulate the bits in the nfs_inode structure's
"flags" field.

Using bitops means we can use a generic wait_on_bit call instead of an ad hoc
locking scheme in fs/nfs/inode.c, so we can remove the "nfs_i_wait" field from
nfs_inode at the same time.

The other new flags field will continue to use bitmask and logic AND and OR.
This permits several flags to be set at the same time efficiently.  The
following patch adds a spin lock to protect these flags, and this spin lock
will later cover other fields in the nfs_inode structure, amortizing the cost
of using this type of serialization.

Test plan:
 Millions of fsx ops on SMP clients.
