c490d79bb7 fs: dcache fix LRU ordering
Fix ordering of LRU when moving referenced dentries to the head of the list
(they should go to the head of the list in the same order as they were found
from the tail, rather than reverse order).

74dbbdd7fd New helper: deactivate_locked_super()
Does equivalent of up_write(&s->s_umount); deactivate_super(s);
However, it does not does not unlock it until it's all over.
As the result, it's safe to use to dispose of new superblock on ->get_sb()
failure exits - nobody will see the sucker until it's all over.
Equivalent using up_write/deactivate_super is safe for that purpose
if superblock is either	safe to use or has NULL ->s_root when we unlock.
Normally filesystems take the required precautions, but
	a) we do have bugs in that area in some of them.
	b) up_write/deactivate_super sequence is extremely common,
so the helper makes sense anyway.

677c9b2e39 reiserfs: remove privroot hiding in lookup
With Al Viro's patch to move privroot lookup to fs mount, there's no need
 to have special code to hide the privroot in reiserfs_lookup.

 I've also cleaned up the privroot hiding in reiserfs_readdir_dentry and
 removed the last user of reiserfs_xattrs().

ab17c4f021 reiserfs: fixup xattr_root caching
The xattr_root caching was broken from my previous patch set. It wouldn't
 cause corruption, but could cause decreased performance due to allocating
 a larger chunk of the journal (~ 27 blocks) than it would actually use.

 This patch loads the xattr root dentry at xattr initialization and creates
 it on-demand. Since we're using the cached dentry, there's no point
 in keeping lookup_or_create_dir around, so that's removed.

5a6059c358 reiserfs: Expand i_mutex to enclose lookup_one_len
2.6.30-rc3 introduced some sanity checks in the VFS code to avoid NFS
 bugs by ensuring that lookup_one_len is always called under i_mutex.

 This patch expands the i_mutex locking to enclose lookup_one_len. This was
 always required, but not not enforced in the reiserfs code since it
 does locking around the xattr interactions with the xattr_sem.

 This is obvious enough, and it survived an overnight 50 thread ACL test.

6407df5ca5 x86, kexec: fix crashdump panic with CONFIG_KEXEC_JUMP
Tim Starling reported that crashdump will panic with kernel compiled
with CONFIG_KEXEC_JUMP due to null pointer deference in
machine_kexec_32.c: machine_kexec(), when deferencing
kexec_image. Refering to:

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13265

This patch fixes the BUG via replacing global variable reference:
kexec_image in machine_kexec() with local variable reference: image,
which is more appropriate, and will not be null.

Same BUG is in machine_kexec_64.c too, so fixed too in the same way.

With the introduction of the .brk section, special care must be taken
that no unused page table entries remain if _brk_end and _end are
separated by a 2M page boundary. cleanup_highmap() runs very early and
hence cannot take care of that, hence potential entries needing to be
removed past _brk_end must be cleared once the brk allocator has done
its job.

8a0a9bd4db random: make get_random_int() more random
It's a really simple patch that basically just open-codes the current
"secure_ip_id()" call, but when open-coding it we now use a _static_
hashing area, so that it gets updated every time.

And to make sure somebody can't just start from the same original seed of
all-zeroes, and then do the "half_md4_transform()" over and over until
they get the same sequence as the kernel has, each iteration also mixes in
the same old "current->pid + jiffies" we used - so we should now have a
regular strong pseudo-number generator, but we also have one that doesn't
have a single seed.

Note: the "pid + jiffies" is just meant to be a tiny tiny bit of noise. It
has no real meaning. It could be anything. I just picked the previous
seed, it's just that now we keep the state in between calls and that will
feed into the next result, and that should make all the difference.

I made that hash be a per-cpu data just to avoid cache-line ping-pong:
having multiple CPU's write to the same data would be fine for randomness,
and add yet another layer of chaos to it, but since get_random_int() is
supposed to be a fast interface I did it that way instead. I considered
using "__raw_get_cpu_var()" to avoid any preemption overhead while still
getting the hash be _mostly_ ping-pong free, but in the end good taste won
out.

ae51e60984 [ARM] 5507/1: support R_ARM_MOVW_ABS_NC and MOVT_ABS relocation types
From: Bruce Ashfield <bruce.ashfield@windriver.com>

To fully support the armv7-a instruction set/optimizations, support
for the R_ARM_MOVW_ABS_NC and R_ARM_MOVT_ABS relocation types is
required.

The MOVW and MOVT are both load-immediate instructions, MOVW loads 16
bits into the bottom half of a register, and MOVT loads 16 bits into the
top half of a register.

The relocation information for these instructions has a full 32 bit
value, plus an addend which is stored in the 16 immediate bits in the
instruction itself.  The immediate bits in the instruction are not
contiguous (the register # splits it into a 4 bit and 12 bit value),
so the addend has to be extracted accordingly and added to the value.
The value is then split and put into the instruction; a MOVW uses the
bottom 16 bits of the value, and a MOVT uses the top 16 bits.

c4647292fd md: remove rd%d links immediately after stopping an array.
md maintains link in sys/mdXX/md/ to identify which device has
which role in the array. e.g.
   rd2 -> dev-sda

indicates that the device with role '2' in the array is sda.

These links are only present when the array is active.  They are
created immediately after ->run is called, and so should be removed
immediately after ->stop is called.
However they are currently removed a little bit later, and it is
possible for ->run to be called again, thus adding these links, before
they are removed.

So move the removal earlier so they are consistently only present when
the array is active.

5bf2959754 md: remove ability to explicit set an inactive array to 'clean'.
Being able to write 'clean' to an 'array_state' of an inactive array
to activate it in 'clean' mode is both unnecessary and inconvenient.

It is unnecessary because the same can be achieved by writing
'active'.  This activates and array, but it still remains 'clean'
until the first write.

It is inconvenient because writing 'clean' is more often used to
cause an 'active' array to revert to 'clean' mode (thus blocking
any writes until a 'write-pending' is promoted to 'active').

Allowing 'clean' to both activate an array and mark an active array as
clean can lead to races:  One program writes 'clean' to mark the
active array as clean at the same time as another program writes
'inactive' to deactivate (stop) and active array.  Depending on which
writes first, the array could be deactivated and immediately
reactivated which isn't what was desired.

So just disable the use of 'clean' to activate an array.

This avoids a race that can be triggered with mdadm-3.0 and external
metadata, so it suitable for -stable.

dd71cf6b27 md: tidy up status_resync to handle large arrays.
Two problems in status_resync.
1/ It still used Kilobytes as the basic block unit, while most code
   now uses sectors uniformly.
2/ It doesn't allow for the possibility that max_sectors exceeds
   the range of "unsigned long".

So
 - change "max_blocks" to "max_sectors", and store sector numbers
   in there and in 'resync'
 - Make 'rt' a 'sector_t' so it can temporarily hold the number of
   remaining sectors.
 - use sector_div rather than normal division.
 - change the magic '100' used to preserve precision to '32'.
   + making it a power of 2 makes division easier
   + it doesn't need to be as large as it was chosen when we averaged

db305e507d md: fix some (more) errors with bitmaps on devices larger than 2TB.
If a write intent bitmap covers more than 2TB, we sometimes work with
values beyond 32bit, so these need to be sector_t.  This patches
add the required casts to some unsigned longs that are being shifted
up.

This will affect any raid10 larger than 2TB, or any raid1/4/5/6 with
member devices that are larger than 2TB.

1805556912 md/raid10: don't clear bitmap during recovery if array will still be degraded.
If we have a raid10 with multiple missing devices, and we recover just
one of these to a spare, then we risk (depending on the bitmap and
array chunk size) clearing bits of the bitmap for which recovery isn't
complete (because a device is still missing).

This can lead to a subsequent "re-add" being recovered without
any IO happening, which would result in loss of data.

This patch takes the safe approach of not clearing bitmap bits
if the array will still be degraded.

This patch is suitable for all active -stable kernels.

b74fd2826c md: fix loading of out-of-date bitmap.
When md is loading a bitmap which it knows is out of date, it fills
each page with 1s and writes it back out again.  However the
write_page call makes used of bitmap->file_pages and
bitmap->last_page_size which haven't been set correctly yet.  So this
can sometimes fail.

Move the setting of file_pages and last_page_size to before the call
to write_page.

This bug can cause the assembly on an array to fail, thus making the
data inaccessible.  Hence I think it is a suitable candidate for
-stable.

a1e6b6c1a6 initramfs: clean up messages related to initramfs unpacking
With the removal of duplicate unpack_to_rootfs() (commit
df52092f3c) the messages displayed do not
actually correspond to what the kernel is doing.  In addition, depending
if ramdisks are supported or not, the messages are not at all the same.

So keep the messages more in sync with what is really doing the kernel,
and only display a second message in case of failure.  This also ensure
that the printk message cannot be split by other printk's.

fc4d5c292b nommu: make the initial mmap allocation excess behaviour Kconfig configurable
NOMMU mmap() has an option controlled by a sysctl variable that determines
whether the allocations made by do_mmap_private() should have the excess
space trimmed off and returned to the allocator.  Make the initial setting
of this variable a Kconfig configuration option.

The reason there can be excess space is that the allocator only allocates
in power-of-2 size chunks, but mmap()'s can be made in sizes that aren't a
power of 2.

There are two alternatives:

 (1) Keep the excess as dead space.  The dead space then remains unused for the
     lifetime of the mapping.  Mappings of shared objects such as libc, ld.so
     or busybox's text segment may retain their dead space forever.

 (2) Return the excess to the allocator.  This means that the dead space is
     limited to less than a page per mapping, but it means that for a transient
     process, there's more chance of fragmentation as the excess space may be
     reused fairly quickly.

During the boot process, a lot of transient processes are created, and
this can cause a lot of fragmentation as the pagecache and various slabs
grow greatly during this time.

By turning off the trimming of excess space during boot and disabling
batching of frees, Coldfire can manage to boot.

A better way of doing things might be to have /sbin/init turn this option
off.  By that point libc, ld.so and init - which are all long-duration
processes - have all been loaded and trimmed.

3a6be87fd1 nommu: clamp zone_batchsize() to 0 under NOMMU conditions
Clamp zone_batchsize() to 0 under NOMMU conditions to stop
free_hot_cold_page() from queueing and batching frees.

The problem is that under NOMMU conditions it is really important to be
able to allocate large contiguous chunks of memory, but when munmap() or
exit_mmap() releases big stretches of memory, return of these to the buddy
allocator can be deferred, and when it does finally happen, it can be in
small chunks.

Whilst the fragmentation this incurs isn't so much of a problem under MMU
conditions as userspace VM is glued together from individual pages with
the aid of the MMU, it is a real problem if there isn't an MMU.

By clamping the page freeing queue size to 0, pages are returned to the
allocator immediately, and the buddy detector is more likely to be able to
glue them together into large chunks immediately, and fragmentation is
less likely to occur.

By disabling batching of frees, and by turning off the trimming of excess
space during boot, Coldfire can manage to boot.
