eac681b3ae i915: Fix a DRM_ERROR that should be DRM_DEBUG.
It would clutter up the kernel output in a situation which is legitimate before
X.org 7.2 and handled correctly by the 3D driver.

90cb28e8f7 Revert "[PATCH] binfmt_elf: randomize PIE binaries (2nd try)"
This reverts commit 59287c0913.

Hugh Dickins reports that it causes random failures on x86 with SuSE
10.2, and points out

  "Isn't that randomization, anywhere from 0x10000 to ELF_ET_DYN_BASE,
   sure to place the ET_DYN from time to time just where the comment
   says it's trying to avoid? I assume that somehow results in the error
   reported."

(where the comment in question is the existing comment in the source
code about mmap/brk clashes).

af3e095a1f [PATCH] connector: some fixes for ia64 unaligned access errors
On ia64, the various functions that make up cn_proc.c cause kernel
unaligned access errors.

If you are using these, for example, to get notification about all tasks
forking and exiting, you get multiple unaligned access errors per process.

Use put_unaligned() in the appropriate palces to fix this.

76395d3761 [PATCH] shrink_all_memory(): fix lru_pages handling
At the end of shrink_all_memory() we forget to recalculate lru_pages: it can

Fix that up, and add a helper function for this operation too.

Also, recalculate lru_pages each time around the inner loop to get the

d63b70902b [PATCH] fix garbage instead of zeroes in UFS
Looks like this is the problem, which point Al Viro some time ago:

ufs's get_block callback allocates 16k of disk at a time, and links that
entire 16k into the file's metadata.  But because get_block is called for only
a single buffer_head (a 2k buffer_head in this case?) we are only able to tell
the VFS that this 2k is buffer_new().

So when ufs_getfrag_block() is later called to map some more data in the file,
and when that data resides within the remaining 14k of this fragment,
ufs_getfrag_block() will incorrectly return a !buffer_new() buffer_head.

I don't see _right_ way to do nullification of whole block, if use inode
page cache, some pages may be outside of inode limits (inode size), and
will be lost; if use blockdev page cache it is possible to zero real data,
if later inode page cache will be used.

The simpliest way, as can I see usage of block device page cache, but not only
mark dirty, but also sync it during "nullification".  I use my simple tests
collection, which I used for check that create,open,write,read,close works on
ufs, and I see that this patch makes ufs code 18% slower then before.

These days, if you swapoff when there isn't enough memory, OOM killer gives
"BUG: scheduling while atomic" and the machine hangs: badness() needs to do
its PF_SWAPOFF return after the task_unlock (tasklist_lock is also held
here, so p isn't going to be freed: PF_SWAPOFF might get turned off at any
moment, but that doesn't really matter).

f2e12bb272 [PATCH] Check for populated zone in __drain_pages
Both process_zones() and drain_node_pages() check for populated zones
before touching pagesets.  However, __drain_pages does not do so,

This may result in a NULL pointer dereference for pagesets in unpopulated
zones if a NUMA setup is combined with cpu hotplug.

Initially the unpopulated zone has the pcp pointers pointing to the boot
pagesets.  Since the zone is not populated the boot pageset pointers will
not be changed during page allocator and slab bootstrap.

If a cpu is later brought down (first call to __drain_pages()) then the pcp
pointers for cpus in unpopulated zones are set to NULL since __drain_pages
does not first check for an unpopulated zone.

If the cpu is then brought up again then we call process_zones() which will
ignore the unpopulated zone.  So the pageset pointers will still be NULL.

If the cpu is then again brought down then __drain_pages will attempt to
drain pages by following the NULL pageset pointer for unpopulated zones.

6929da4427 [PATCH] hpt37x: Two important bug fixes
The HPT37x driver very carefully handles DMA completions and the needed
fixups are done on pci registers 0x50 and 0x52.  This is unfortunate
because the actual registers are 0x50 and 0x54.  Fixing this offset cures
the second channel problems reported.

Secondly there are some problems with the HPT370 and certain ATA drives.
The filter code however only filters ATAPI devices due to a reversed type
check.

instruction can be executed on it.  Unprotect the page and let the cpu do its
thing.

9b7a032567 [PATCH] KVM: MMU: Zap shadow page table entries on writes to guest page tables
Iterate over all shadow pages which correspond to a the given guest page table
and remove the mappings.

A subsequent page fault will reestablish the new mapping.

da4a00f002 [PATCH] KVM: MMU: Support emulated writes into RAM
As the mmu write protects guest page table, we emulate those writes.  Since
they are not mmio, there is no need to go to userspace to perform them.

So, perform the writes in the kernel if possible, and notify the mmu about
them so it can take the approriate action.

815af8d42e [PATCH] KVM: MMU: Let the walker extract the target page gfn from the pte
This fixes a problem where set_pte_common() looked for shadowed pages based on
the page directory gfn (a huge page) instead of the actual gfn being mapped.

374cbac033 [PATCH] KVM: MMU: Write protect guest pages when a shadow is created for them
When we cache a guest page table into a shadow page table, we need to prevent
further access to that page by the guest, as that would render the cache
incoherent.

cea0f0e7ea [PATCH] KVM: MMU: Shadow page table caching
Define a hashtable for caching shadow page tables. Look up the cache on
context switch (cr3 change) or during page faults.

The key to the cache is a combination of
- the guest page table frame number
- the number of paging levels in the guest
   * we can cache real mode, 32-bit mode, pae, and long mode page
     tables simultaneously.  this is useful for smp bootup.
- the guest page table table
   * some kernels use a page as both a page table and a page directory.  this
     allows multiple shadow pages to exist for that page, one per level
- the "quadrant"
   * 32-bit mode page tables span 4MB, whereas a shadow page table spans
     2MB.  similarly, a 32-bit page directory spans 4GB, while a shadow
     page directory spans 1GB.  the quadrant allows caching up to 4 shadow page
     tables for one guest page in one level.
- a "metaphysical" bit
   * for real mode, and for pse pages, there is no guest page table, so set
     the bit to avoid write protecting the page.
