a73ad3331f x86: unify the implementation of FPU traps
On 32 bits, we may suffer IRQ 13, or supposedly we might have a buggy
implementation which gives spurious trap 16.  We did not check for
this on 64 bits, but there is no reason we can't make the code the
same in both cases.  Furthermore, this is presumably rare, so do the
spurious check last, instead of first.

40f15ad8aa x86: disable X86_PTRACE_BTS
there's a new ptrace arch level feature in .28:

  config X86_PTRACE_BTS
  bool "Branch Trace Store"

it has broken fork() handling: the old DS area gets copied over into
a new task without clearing it.

Fixes exist but they came too late:

  c5dee61: x86, bts: memory accounting
  bf53de9: x86, bts: add fork and exit handling

and are queued up for v2.6.29. This shows that the facility is still not
tested well enough to release into a stable kernel - disable it for now and
reactivate in .29. In .29 the hardware-branch-tracer will use the DS/BTS
facilities too - hopefully resulting in better code.

c1c15b65ec x86: PAT: fix address types in track_pfn_vma_new()
Impact: cleanup, fix warning

This warning:

 arch/x86/mm/pat.c: In function track_pfn_vma_copy:
 arch/x86/mm/pat.c:701: warning: passing argument 5 of follow_phys from incompatible pointer type

Triggers because physical addresses are resource_size_t, not u64.

This really matters when calling an interface like follow_phys() which
takes a pointer to a physical address -- although on x86, being
littleendian, it would generally work anyway as long as the memory region
wasn't completely uninitialized.

d519c8d9cc edac: fix edac core deadlock when removing a device
When deleting an edac device, we have to wait for its edac_dev.work to be
completed before deleting the whole edac_dev structure.  Since we have no
idea which work in current edac_poller's workqueue is the work we are
conerned about, we wait for all work in the edac_poller's workqueue to be
proceseed.  This is done via flush_cpu_workqueue() which inserts a
wq_barrier into the tail of the workqueue and then sleeping on the
completion of this wq_barrier.  The edac_poller will wake up sleepers when
it is found.

EDAC core creates only one kernel worker thread, edac_poller, to run the
works of all current edac devices.  They share the same callback function
of edac_device_workq_function(), which would grab the mutex of
device_ctls_mutex first before it checks the device.  This is exactly
where edac_poller and rmmod would have a great chance to deadlock.

In below call trace of rmmod > ... >
edac_device_del_device >
edac_device_workq_teardown > flush_workqueue > flush_cpu_workqueue,

device_ctls_mutex would have already been grabbed by
edac_device_del_device().  So, on one hand rmmod would sleep on the
completion of a wq_barrier, holding device_ctls_mutex; on the other hand
edac_poller would be blocked on the same mutex when it's running any one
of works of existing edac evices(Note, this edac_dev.work is likely to be
totally irrelevant to the one that is being removed right now)and never
would have a chance to run the work of above wq_barrier to wake rmmod up.

edac_device_workq_teardown() should not be called within the critical
region of device_ctls_mutex.  Just like is done in edac_pci_del_device()
and edac_mc_del_mc(), where edac_pci_workq_teardown() and
edac_mc_workq_teardown() are called after related mutex are released.

Moreover, an edac_dev.work should check first if it is being removed.  If
this is the case, then it should bail out immediately.  Since not all of
existing edac devices are to be removed, this "shutting flag" should be
contained to edac device being removed.  The current edac_dev.op_state can
be used to serve this purpose.

The original deadlock problem and the solution have been witnessed and
tested on actual hardware.  Without the solution, rmmod an edac driver
would result in below deadlock:

root@localhost:/root> rmmod mv64x60_edac
EDAC DEBUG: mv64x60_dma_err_remove()
EDAC DEBUG: edac_device_del_device()

adf77bac05 x86: prioritize the FPU traps for the error code
In the case of multiple FPU errors, prioritize the error codes,
instead of returning __SI_FAULT, which ends up pushing a 0 as the
error code to userspace, a POSIX violation.

For i386, we will simply return if there are no errors at all; for
x86-64 this is probably a "can't happen" (and the code should be
unified), but for this patch, return __SI_FAULT|SI_KERNEL if this ever
happens.

3d44cc3e01 Null pointer deref with hrtimer_try_to_cancel()
Impact: Prevent kernel crash with posix timer clockid CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW

commit 2d42244ae7 (clocksource:
introduce CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW) introduced a new clockid, which is only
available to read out the raw not NTP adjusted system time.

The above commit did not prevent that a posix timer can be created
with that clockid. The timer_create() syscall succeeds and initializes
the timer to a non existing hrtimer base. When the timer is deleted
either by timer_delete() or by the exit() cleanup the kernel crashes.

Prevent the creation of timers for CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW by setting the
posix clock function to no_timer_create which returns an error code.

280a9ca5d0 x86: fix resume (S2R) broken by Intel microcode module, on A110L
Impact: fix deadlock

This is in response to the following bug report:

Bug-Entry       : http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12100
Subject         : resume (S2R) broken by Intel microcode module, on A110L
Submitter       : Andreas Mohr <andi@lisas.de>

[ The deadlock scenario has been discovered by Andreas Mohr ]

I think I might have a logical explanation why the system:

  (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12100)

might hang upon resuming, OTOH it should have likely hanged each and every time.

(1) possible deadlock in microcode_resume_cpu() if either 'if' section is
taken;

(2) now, I don't see it in spec. and can't experimentally verify it (newer
ucodes don't seem to be available for my Core2duo)... but logically-wise, I'd
think that when read upon resuming, the 'microcode revision' (MSR 0x8B) should
be back to its original one (we need to reload ucode anyway so it doesn't seem
logical if a cpu doesn't drop the version)... if so, the comparison with
memcmp() for the full 'struct cpu_signature' is wrong... and that's how one of
the aforementioned 'if' sections might have been triggered - leading to a
deadlock.

Obviously, in my tests I simulated loading/resuming with the ucode of the same
version (just to see that the file is loaded/re-loaded upon resuming) so this
issue has never popped up.

I'd appreciate if someone with an appropriate system might give a try to the
2nd patch (titled "fix a comparison && deadlock...").

In any case, the deadlock situation is a must-have fix.

Impact: Cleanup and branch hints only.

Move the track and untrack pfn stub routines from memory.c to asm-generic.
Also add unlikely to pfnmap related calls in fork and exit path.

982d789ab7 x86: PAT: remove follow_pfnmap_pte in favor of follow_phys
Impact: Cleanup - removes a new function in favor of a recently modified older one.

Replace follow_pfnmap_pte in pat code with follow_phys. follow_phys lso
returns protection eliminating the need of pte_pgprot call. Using follow_phys
also eliminates the need for pte_pa.

d87fe6607c x86: PAT: modify follow_phys to return phys_addr prot and return value
Impact: Changes and globalizes an existing static interface.

Follow_phys does similar things as follow_pfnmap_pte. Make a minor change
to follow_phys so that it can be used in place of follow_pfnmap_pte.
Physical address return value with 0 as error return does not work in
follow_phys as the actual physical address 0 mapping may exist in pte.

6bd9cd50c8 x86: PAT: clarify is_linear_pfn_mapping() interface
Impact: Documentation only

Incremental patches to address the review comments from Nick Piggin
for v3 version of x86 PAT pfnmap changes patchset here

http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0812.2/01330.html

This patch:

Clarify is_linear_pfn_mapping() and its usage.

It is used by x86 PAT code for performance reasons. Identifying pfnmap
as linear over entire vma helps speedup reserve and free of memtype
for the region.

f1d9e4586e fs/9p: change simple_strtol to simple_strtoul
Since v9ses->uid is unsigned, it would seem better to use simple_strtoul that
simple_strtol.

A simplified version of the semantic patch that makes this change is as
follows: (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/)

// <smpl>
@r2@
long e;
position p;
@@

e = simple_strtol@p(...)

@@
position p != r2.p;
type T;
T e;
@@

e =
- simple_strtol@p
+ simple_strtoul
  (...)
