2c80b01bea xen: mask _PAGE_PCD from ptes
_PAGE_PCD maps a page with caching disabled, which is typically used for
mapping harware registers.  Xen never allows it to be set on a mapping, and
unprivileged guests never need it since they can't see the real underlying
hardware.  However, some uncached mappings are made early when probing the
(non-existent) APIC, and its OK to mask off the PCD flag in these cases.

This became necessary because Xen started checking for this bit, rather
than silently masking it off.

ba72cb8cb0 Fix boot problem with iSeries lacking hugepage support
Ordinarily the size of a pageblock is determined at compile-time based on the
hugepage size. On PPC64, the hugepage size is determined at runtime based on
what is supported by the machine. With legacy machines such as iSeries that
do not support hugepages, HPAGE_SHIFT is 0. This results in pageblock_order
being set to -PAGE_SHIFT and a crash results shortly afterwards.

This patch adds a function to select a sensible value for pageblock order by
default when HUGETLB_PAGE_SIZE_VARIABLE is set. It checks that HPAGE_SHIFT
is a sensible value before using the hugepage size; if it is not MAX_ORDER-1
is used.

This is a fix for 2.6.24.

Credit goes to Stephen Rothwell for identifying the bug and testing candidate
patches.  Additional credit goes to Andy Whitcroft for spotting a problem
with respects to IA-64 before releasing. Additional credit to David Gibson
for testing with the libhugetlbfs test suite.

8905a67c63 update checkpatch.pl to version 0.12
This version brings a new terse output mode as well as many improvements to
the unary detection and bare type regcognition.  It also brings the usual
updates for false positives, though these seem to be slowing markedly
now that the unary detector is no longer just putting its finger in the
air and guessing.  Of note:

  - new --terse mode producing a single line per report
  - loosening of the block brace checks
  - new checks for enum/union/struch brace placements
  - hugely expanded "bare type" detection
  - checks for inline usage
  - better handling of already open comment blocks
  - handle patches which introduce or remove lines without newlines

Andy Whitcroft (19):
      Version: 0.12
      style fixes as spotted by checkpatch
      add a --terse options of a single line of output per report
      block brace checks should only apply for single line blocks
      all new bare type detector
      check spacing for open braces with enum, union and struct
      check for LINUX_VERSION_CODE
      macros definition bracketing checks need to ignore -ve context
      clean up the mail-back mode, -q et al
      expand possible type matching to declarations
      allow const and sparse annotations on possible types
      handle possible types as regular types everywhere
      prefer plain inline over __inline__ and __inline
      all new open comment detection
      fix up conditional extraction for if assignment checks
      add const to the possible type matcher
      unary checks: a for loop is a conditional too
      possible types: detect function pointer definitions
      handle missind newlines at end of file, report addition

4a9bee8256 USB: uevent environment key fix
This patch (as1010) was written by both Kay Sievers and me.  It solves
the problem of duplicated keys in USB uevent structures by refactoring
the uevent subroutines, taking advantage of the way the hotplug core
calls uevent handlers for the device's bus and for the device's type.
Keys needed for both USB-device and USB-interface events are added in
usb_uevent(), which is the bus handler.  Keys appropriate only for
USB-device or USB-interface events are added in usb_dev_uevent() or
usb_if_uevent() respectively, the type handlers.

In addition, unnecessary tests for NULL pointers are removed as are
duplicated debugging log statements.

f08812d5eb USB: FIx locks and urb->status in adutux (updated)
Two main issues fixed here are:
 - An improper use of in-struct lock to protect an open count
 - Use of urb status for -EINPROGRESS

Also, along the way:
 - Change usb_unlink_urb to usb_kill_urb. Apparently there's no need
   to use usb_unlink_urb whatsoever in this driver, and the old use of
   usb_kill_urb was outright racy (it unlinked and immediately freed).
 - Fix indentation in adu_write. Looks like it was damaged by a script.
 - Vitaly wants -EBUSY on multiply opens.
 - bInterval was taken from a wrong endpoint.

8118a859dc sysfs: fix off-by-one error in fill_read_buffer()
I found that there is a off-by-one problem in the following code.

Version:	2.6.24-rc2
File:		fs/sysfs/file.c:118-122
Function:	fill_read_buffer
--------------------------------------------------------------------
	count = ops->show(kobj, attr_sd->s_attr.attr, buffer->page);

	sysfs_put_active_two(attr_sd);

	BUG_ON(count > (ssize_t)PAGE_SIZE);
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Because according to the specification of the sysfs and the implement of
the show methods, the show methods return the number of bytes which would
be generated for the given input, excluding the trailing null.So if the
return value of the show methods equals PAGE_SIZE - 1, the buffer is full
in fact.  And if the return value equals PAGE_SIZE, the resulting string
was already truncated,or buffer overflow occurred.

This patch fixes an off-by-one error in fill_read_buffer.

dec13c1544 create /sys/.../power when CONFIG_PM is set
The CONFIG_SUSPEND changes in 2.6.23 caused a regression under certain
configuration conditions (SUSPEND=n, USB_AUTOSUSPEND=y) where all USB
device attributes in sysfs (idVendor, idProduct, ...) silently disappeared,
causing udev breakage and more.

The cause of this is that the /sys/.../power subdirectory is now only
created when CONFIG_PM_SLEEP is set, however, it should be created whenever
CONFIG_PM is set to handle the above situation.  The following patch fixes
the regression.

345ee8392d allow LEGACY_PTYS to be set to 0
The count of legacy pty devices can be set by a kernel commandline
parameter. For the distro kernel, we would like to disable all pty's
by default, but keep the opportunity to request devices on the kernel
commandline.

09f345da75 prep_zero_page: remove bogus BUG_ON
2.6.11 gave __GFP_ZERO's prep_zero_page a bogus "highmem may have to wait"
assertion.  Presumably added under the misconception that clear_highpage
uses nonatomic kmap; but then and now it uses kmap_atomic, so no problem.

e84e2e132c tmpfs: restore missing clear_highpage
tmpfs was misconverted to __GFP_ZERO in 2.6.11.  There's an unusual case in
which shmem_getpage receives the page from its caller instead of allocating.
We must cover this case by clear_highpage before SetPageUptodate, as before.
