This reverts commit 34feb2c83b.
Suresh Siddha points out that this one breaks the fundamental
requirement that you cannot free page table pages before the TLB caches
are flushed. The quicklists do not give the same kinds of guarantees
that the mmu_gather structure does, at least not in NUMA configurations.

wakeup.S looks at the video mode number from the setup header and
looks to see if it is a VESA mode. Unfortunately, the decoding is
done incorrectly and it will attempt to frob the VESA BIOS for any
mode number 0x0200 or larger. Correct this, and remove a bunch of #if

[POWERPC] Fix timekeeping on PowerPC 601
[POWERPC] Don't expose clock vDSO functions when CPU has no timebase
[POWERPC] spusched: Fix null pointer dereference in find_victim
Randy Dunlap noticed an interesting "crashme" behaviour on his dual
Prescott Xeon setup, where he gets page faults with the error code
having a zero "user" bit, but the register state points back to user
mode.
This may be a CPU microcode buglet triggered by some strange instruction
pattern that crashme generates, and loading a microcode update seems to
possibly have fixed it.
Regardless, we really should trust the register state more than the
error code, since it's really the register state that determines whether
we can actually send a signal, or whether we're in kernel mode and need
to oops/kill the process in the case of a page fault.

This patch fixes a crash caused by an interrupt coming in when an IRQ stack
is being torn down. When this happens, handle_signal will loop, setting up
the IRQ stack again because the tearing down had finished, and handling
whatever signals had come in.
However, to_irq_stack returns a mask of pending signals to be handled, plus
bit zero is set if the IRQ stack was already active, and thus shouldn't be
torn down. This causes a problem because when handle_signal goes around
the loop, sig will be zero, and to_irq_stack will duly set bit zero in the
returned mask, faking handle_signal into believing that it shouldn't tear
down the IRQ stack and return thread_info pointers back to their original
values.
This will eventually cause a crash, as the IRQ stack thread_info will
continue pointing to the original task_struct and an interrupt will look
into it after it has been freed.
The fix is to stop passing a signal number into to_irq_stack. Rather, the
pending signals mask is initialized beforehand with the bit for sig already
set. References to sig in to_irq_stack can be replaced with references to
the mask.

I found a type mismatch in UML that makes host block devices unusable as ubd
devices on x86_64 and other 64 bits systems (segfault of the mm subsystem):
In block/ioctl.c, the following lines show that the BLKGETSIZE ioctl expects
a pointer to a long:
case BLKGETSIZE:
if ((bdev->bd_inode->i_size >> 9) > ~0UL)
return -EFBIG;
return put_ulong(arg, bdev->bd_inode->i_size >> 9);
In arch/um/os-Linux/file.c, os_file_size calls it with an int.

When NR_CPUS is smaller than the cpu probed, let the user
know that the cpu won't be used.
Suggested by Al Viro.
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
As noted by Al Viro, when we try to call prom_set_trap_table()
in the SMP trampoline code we try to take the PROM call spinlock
which doesn't work because the current thread pointer isn't
valid yet and lockdep depends upon that being correct.
Furthermore, we cannot set the current thread pointer register
because it can't be properly dereferenced until we return from
prom_set_trap_table(). Kernel TLB misses only work after that
call.
So do the PROM call to set the trap table directly instead of
going through the OBP library C code, and thus avoid the lock
altogether.
These calls are guarenteed to be serialized fully.
Since there are now no calls to the prom_set_trap_table{_sun4v}()
library functions, they can be deleted.

vfp_init() takes care of the condition when CONFIG_VFP=y but no real VFP
device exists. However, when this condition is true, a compiler might
misplace code lines in a way that will break this support. (To be more
specific - fmrx(FPSID) might be executed before vfp_testing_entry
assignment, which will end up with Oops - undefined instruction).

With the I/O space rewrite by BenH, the legacy_serial serial_dev_init()

Since there's no way to make dependencies between initcalls, we'll just
have to move it to device_initcall(). Yes, it's suboptimal but I'm not
aware of any better solution at this time, and it fixes a regression

[PATCH] highmem: catch illegal nesting
Catch illegally nested kmap_atomic()s even if the page that is mapped by
the 'inner' instance is from lowmem.
This avoids spuriously zapped kmap-atomic ptes and turns hard to find
crashes into clear asserts at the bug site.
Problem is, a get_zeroed_page(GFP_KERNEL) from interrupt context will trigger
this check if non-irq code on this CPU holds a KM_USER0 mapping. But that
get_zeroed_page() will never be altering the kmap slot anyway due to the
GFP_KERNEL.
