quicklists cause a serious memory leak on 32-bit x86,
as documented at:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9991
the reason is that the quicklist pool is a special-purpose
cache that grows out of proportion. It is not accounted for
anywhere and users have no way to even realize that it's
the quicklists that are causing RAM usage spikes. It was
supposed to be a relatively small pool, but as demonstrated
by KOSAKI Motohiro, they can grow as large as:
Quicklists: 1194304 kB
given how much trouble this code has caused historically,
and given that Andrew objected to its introduction on x86
(years ago), the best option at this point is to remove them.
[ any performance benefits of caching constructed pgds should
be implemented in a more generic way (possibly within the page
allocator), while still allowing constructed pages to be
allocated by other workloads. ]

libsas has a case where it uses the firmware loader to provide services,
but doesn't want to select it all the time. This currently causes a
compile failure in libsas if FW_LOADER=n. Fix this by providing error

* git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tglx/linux-2.6-hrt:
time: remove obsolete CLOCK_TICK_ADJUST
time: don't touch an offlined CPU's ts->tick_stopped in tick_cancel_sched_timer()
time: prevent the loop in timespec_add_ns() from being optimised away
ntp: use unsigned input for do_div()
The first version of the ntp_interval/tick_length inconsistent usage patch was
recently merged as bbe4d18ac2http://git.kernel.org/gitweb.cgi?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=bbe4d18ac2e058c56adb0cd71f49d9ed3216a405
While the fix did greatly improve the situation, it was correctly pointed out
by Roman that it does have a small bug: If the users change clocksources after
the system has been running and NTP has made corrections, the correctoins made
against the old clocksource will be applied against the new clocksource,
causing error.
The second attempt, which corrects the issue in the NTP_INTERVAL_LENGTH
definition has also made it up-stream as commit
e13a2e61ddhttp://git.kernel.org/gitweb.cgi?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=e13a2e61dd5152f5499d2003470acf9c838eab84
Roman has correctly pointed out that CLOCK_TICK_ADJUST is calculated
based on the PIT's frequency, and isn't really relevant to non-PIT
driven clocksources (that is, clocksources other then jiffies and pit).
This patch reverts both of those changes, and simply removes
CLOCK_TICK_ADJUST.
This does remove the granularity error correction for users of PIT and Jiffies
clocksource users, but the granularity error but for the majority of users, it
should be within the 500ppm range NTP can accommodate for.
For systems that have granularity errors greater then 500ppm, the
"ntp_tick_adj=" boot option can be used to compensate.

Introduce new LSM interfaces to allow an FS to deal with their own mount
options. This includes a new string parsing function exported from the
LSM that an FS can use to get a security data blob and a new security
data blob. This is particularly useful for an FS which uses binary
mount data, like NFS, which does not pass strings into the vfs to be
handled by the loaded LSM. Also fix a BUG() in both SELinux and SMACK
when dealing with binary mount data. If the binary mount data is less
than one page the copy_page() in security_sb_copy_data() can cause an
illegal page fault and boom. Remove all NFSisms from the SELinux code
since they were broken by past NFS changes.

On an md array with a write-intent bitmap, a thread wakes up every few seconds
and scans the bitmap looking for work to do. If the array is idle, there will
be no work to do, but a lot of scanning is done to discover this.

iommu_is_span_boundary is still useful for them. So this patch exports it.
