5e96adec6b [ARM] pxa/spitz: convert to use new MFP API
Original patch from Dmitry Baryshkov's initial scoop gpio conversion
work at http://git.infradead.org/users/dbaryshkov/zaurus-2.6.git.

TODO: figure out the MFP configuration of the SSP2 which looks like
to be already configured by the boot loader, though.

ce5291478c [ARM] pxa/poodle: convert to use the new GPIO API
Direct manipulation of GPIO registers are no longer encouraged, use
the new GPIO API instead. Since the GPIO has to be requested before
use, .startup and .shutdown are added to the IrDA device platform
data to request and free the GPIO.

d6be118a97 x86: fix memmap=exactmap boot argument
When using kdump modifying the e820 map is yielding strange results.

For example starting with

 BIOS-provided physical RAM map:
 BIOS-e820: 0000000000000100 - 0000000000093400 (usable)
 BIOS-e820: 0000000000093400 - 00000000000a0000 (reserved)
 BIOS-e820: 0000000000100000 - 000000003fee0000 (usable)
 BIOS-e820: 000000003fee0000 - 000000003fef3000 (ACPI data)
 BIOS-e820: 000000003fef3000 - 000000003ff80000 (ACPI NVS)
 BIOS-e820: 000000003ff80000 - 0000000040000000 (reserved)
 BIOS-e820: 00000000e0000000 - 00000000f0000000 (reserved)

 BIOS-e820: 00000000ff000000 - 0000000100000000 (reserved)

and booting with args

memmap=exactmap memmap=640K@0K memmap=5228K@16384K memmap=125188K@22252K memmap=76K#1047424K memmap=564K#1047500K

resulted in:

 user-defined physical RAM map:
 user: 0000000000000000 - 0000000000093400 (usable)
 user: 0000000000093400 - 00000000000a0000 (reserved)

 user: 00000000ff000000 - 0000000100000000 (reserved)

But should have resulted in:

 user-defined physical RAM map:
 user: 0000000000000000 - 00000000000a0000 (usable)
 user: 0000000001000000 - 000000000151b000 (usable)
 user: 00000000015bb000 - 0000000008ffc000 (usable)
 user: 000000003fee0000 - 000000003ff80000 (ACPI data)

This is happening because of an improper usage of strcmp() in the
e820 parsing code.  The strcmp() always returns !0 and never resets the
value for e820.nr_map and returns an incorrect user-defined map.

This patch fixes the problem.

deac93df26 lib: Correct printk %pF to work on all architectures
It was introduced by "vsprintf: add support for '%pS' and '%pF' pointer
formats" in commit 0fe1ef24f7.  However,
the current way its coded doesn't work on parisc64.  For two reasons: 1)
parisc isn't in the #ifdef and 2) parisc has a different format for
function descriptors

Make dereference_function_descriptor() more accommodating by allowing
architecture overrides.  I put the three overrides (for parisc64, ppc64
and ia64) in arch/kernel/module.c because that's where the kernel
internal linker which knows how to deal with function descriptors sits.

3d6e48f433 [S390] CVE-2008-1514: prevent ptrace padding area read/write in 31-bit mode
When running a 31-bit ptrace, on either an s390 or s390x kernel,
reads and writes into a padding area in struct user_regs_struct32
will result in a kernel panic.

This is also known as CVE-2008-1514.

Test case available here:
http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/tests/ptrace-tests/tests/user-area-padding.c?cvsroot=systemtap

Steps to reproduce:
1) wget the above
2) gcc -o user-area-padding-31bit user-area-padding.c -Wall -ggdb2 -D_GNU_SOURCE -m31
3) ./user-area-padding-31bit
<panic>

Test status
-----------
Without patch, both s390 and s390x kernels panic. With patch, the test case,
as well as the gdb testsuite, pass without incident, padding area reads
returning zero, writes ignored.

Nb: original version returned -EINVAL on write attempts, which broke the
gdb test and made the test case slightly unhappy, Jan Kratochvil suggested
the change to return 0 on write attempts.

14469a8dd2 x86: disable static NOPLs on 32 bits
On 32-bit, at least the generic nops are fairly reasonable, but the
default nops for 64-bit really look pretty sad, and the P6 nops really do
look better.

So I would suggest perhaps moving the static P6 nop selection into the
CONFIG_X86_64 thing.

The alternative is to just get rid of that static nop selection, and just
have two cases: 32-bit and 64-bit, and just pick obviously safe cases for
them.

b2e601d14d powerpc/spufs: Fix possible scheduling of a context to multiple SPEs
We currently have a race when scheduling a context to a SPE -
after we have found a runnable context in spusched_tick, the same
context may have been scheduled by spu_activate().

This may result in a panic if we try to unschedule a context that has
been freed in the meantime.

This change exits spu_schedule() if the context has already been
scheduled, so we don't end up scheduling it twice.

23952a96ae x86: cpu_init(): fix memory leak when using CPU hotplug
Exception stacks are allocated each time a CPU is set online.
But the allocated space is never freed. Thus with one CPU hotplug
offline/online cycle there is a memory leak of 24K (6 pages) for
a CPU.

Fix is to allocate exception stacks only once -- when the CPU is
set online for the first time.

dd786dd12c x86: move mtrr cpu cap setting early in early_init_xxxx
Krzysztof Helt found MTRR is not detected on k6-2

root cause:
	we moved mtrr_bp_init() early for mtrr trimming,
and in early_detect we only read the CPU capability from cpuid,
so some cpu doesn't have that bit in cpuid.

So we need to add early_init_xxxx to preset those bit before mtrr_bp_init
for those earlier cpus.

this patch is for v2.6.27

1ad77a876d [ARM] 5241/1: provide ioremap_wc()
This patch provides an ARM implementation of ioremap_wc().

We use different page table attributes depending on which CPU we
are running on:

- Non-XScale ARMv5 and earlier systems: The ARMv5 ARM documents four
  possible mapping types (CB=00/01/10/11).  We can't use any of the
  cached memory types (CB=10/11), since that breaks coherency with
  peripheral devices.  Both CB=00 and CB=01 are suitable for _wc, and
  CB=01 (Uncached/Buffered) allows the hardware more freedom than
  CB=00, so we'll use that.

  (The ARMv5 ARM seems to suggest that CB=01 is allowed to delay stores
  but isn't allowed to merge them, but there is no other mapping type
  we can use that allows the hardware to delay and merge stores, so
  we'll go with CB=01.)

- XScale v1/v2 (ARMv5): same as the ARMv5 case above, with the slight
  difference that on these platforms, CB=01 actually _does_ allow
  merging stores.  (If you want noncoalescing bufferable behavior
  on Xscale v1/v2, you need to use XCB=101.)

- Xscale v3 (ARMv5) and ARMv6+: on these systems, we use TEXCB=00100
  mappings (Inner/Outer Uncacheable in xsc3 parlance, Uncached Normal
  in ARMv6 parlance).

  The ARMv6 ARM explicitly says that any accesses to Normal memory can
  be merged, which makes Normal memory more suitable for _wc mappings
  than Device or Strongly Ordered memory, as the latter two mapping
  types are guaranteed to maintain transaction number, size and order.
  We use the Uncached variety of Normal mappings for the same reason
  that we can't use C=1 mappings on ARMv5.

  The xsc3 Architecture Specification documents TEXCB=00100 as being
  Uncacheable and allowing coalescing of writes, which is also just
  what we need.

72d43d9bc9 x86: HPET: read back compare register before reading counter
After fixing the u32 thinko I sill had occasional hickups on ATI chipsets
with small deltas. There seems to be a delay between writing the compare
register and the transffer to the internal register which triggers the
interrupt. Reading back the value makes sure, that it hit the internal
match register befor we compare against the counter value.

f7676254f1 x86: HPET fix moronic 32/64bit thinko
We use the HPET only in 32bit mode because:
1) some HPETs are 32bit only
2) on i386 there is no way to read/write the HPET atomic 64bit wide

The HPET code unification done by the "moron of the year" did
not take into account that unsigned long is different on 32 and
64 bit.

This thinko results in a possible endless loop in the clockevents
code, when the return comparison fails due to the 64bit/332bit
unawareness. 

unsigned long cnt = (u32) hpet_read() + delta can wrap over 32bit.
but the final compare will fail and return -ETIME causing endless
loops.

b6734c35af x86: add NOPL as a synthetic CPU feature bit
The long noops ("NOPL") are supposed to be detected by family >= 6.
Unfortunately, several non-Intel x86 implementations, both hardware
and software, don't obey this dictum.  Instead, probe for NOPL
directly by executing a NOPL instruction and see if we get #UD.

b74b06c5f6 x86: boot: stub out unimplemented CPU feature words
The CPU feature detection code in the boot code is somewhat minimal,
and doesn't include all possible CPUID words.  In particular, it
doesn't contain the code for CPU feature words 2 (Transmeta),
3 (Linux-specific), 5 (VIA), or 7 (scattered).  Zero them out, so we
can still set those bits as known at compile time; in particular, this
allows creating a Linux-specific NOPL flag and have it required (and
therefore resolvable at compile time) in 64-bit mode.

0011036bee [MIPS] Probe initrd header only if explicitly specified
Currently init_initrd() probes initrd header at the last page of kernel
image, but it is valid only if addinitrd was used.  If addinitrd was not
used, the area contains garbage so probing there might misdetect initrd
header (magic number is not strictly robust).

This patch introduces CONFIG_PROBE_INITRD_HEADER to explicitly enable this
probing.
