Josip Rodin noted
(http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ports.sparc/10152) the
driver oopsing during registration of an rport to the
FC-transport layer with a backtrace indicating a dereferencing of
an shost->shost_data equal to NULL.  David Miller identified a
small window in driver logic where this could happen:

    > Look at how the driver registers the IRQ handler before the host has
    > been registered with the SCSI layer.
    >
    > That leads to a window of time where the shost hasn't been setup
    > fully, yet ISRs can come in and trigger DPC thread events, such as
    > loop resyncs, which expect the transport area to be setup.
    >
    > But it won't be setup, because scsi_add_host() hasn't finished yet.

Close this window by enabling RISC interrupts after the host has
been registered with the SCSI midlayer.

  sg: disable interrupts inside sg_copy_buffer

Change the MN10300 fault handler to make it check in_atomic() rather than
in_interrupt() as commit 6edaf68a did for other
architectures:

	Author: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl>
	Date:   Wed Dec 6 20:32:18 2006 -0800

	[PATCH] mm: arch do_page_fault() vs in_atomic()

	In light of the recent pagefault and filemap_copy_from_user work I've
	gone through all the arch pagefault handlers to make sure the
	inc_preempt_count() 'feature' works as expected.

	Several sections of code (including the new filemap_copy_from_user)
	rely on the fact that faults do not take locks under increased preempt
	count.

The callers of sg_copy_buffer must disable interrupts before calling
it (since it uses kmap_atomic). Some callers use it on
interrupt-disabled code but some need to take the trouble to disable
interrupts just for this. No wonder they forget about it and we hit a
bug like:

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11529

James said that it might be better to disable interrupts inside the
function rather than risk the callers getting it wrong.

Accesses to CR4 are intercepted even with Nested Paging enabled. But the code
does not check if the guest wants to do a global TLB flush. So this flush gets
lost. This patch adds the check and the flush to svm_set_cr4.

This patch introduces a guest TLB flush on every NPF exit in KVM. This fixes
random segfaults and #UD exceptions in the guest seen under some workloads
(e.g. long running compile workloads or tbench). A kernbench run with and
without that fix showed that it has a slowdown lower than 0.5%

This fixes a SWIOTLB oops

With SWIOTLB being enabled and straight-forward page allocation
failure [1], the swiotlb_alloc_coherent fall-back path hits an
issue [2], resulting in my webcam failing to work.

At the time of oops, RDI is clearly a pointer to a structure which
has arrived as NULL, leading to the typo in swiotlb_map_single's
callsite arguments.

Correctly passing the device structure [3] addresses the issue and
gets my webcam working again (the allocation failure still occuring).

git commit 74811f35 causes crash at
module load (or boot) time on my machine with a hpt374 controller.
The reason for this is that for initializing second controller which sets
(hwif->dev == host->dev[1]) to true (1), adds 1 to a void ptr, which
advances it by one byte instead of advancing it by sizeof(hpt_info) bytes.
Because of this, all initialization functions get corrupted data in info
variable which causes a crash at boot time.

This patch fixes that and makes my machine boot again.

The card itself is a HPT374 raid conroller: Here is the lspci -v output:

Make ia64 refrain from clearing a given to-be-offlined CPU's bit in the
cpu_online_mask until it has processed pending irqs.  This change
prevents other CPUs from being blindsided by an apparently offline CPU
nevertheless changing globally visible state.  Also remove the existing
redundant cpu_clear(cpu, cpu_online_map).

Broke the non modular builds by moving an essential function into
modules.c.  Fix this by moving it out again and into asm/sections.h as
an inline.  To do this, the definitions of struct fdesc and struct
got_val have been lifted out of modules.c and put in asm/elf.h where
they belong.

ocfs2 will become read-only if we try to read the bytes which pass
the end of i_size. This can be easily reproduced by following steps:
1. mkfs a ocfs2 volume with bs=4k cs=4k and nosparse.
2. create a small file(say less than 100 bytes) and we will create the file
   which is allocated 1 cluster.
3. read 8196 bytes from the kernel using O_DIRECT which exceeds the limit.
4. The ocfs2 volume becomes read-only and dmesg shows:
OCFS2: ERROR (device sda13): ocfs2_direct_IO_get_blocks:
Inode 66010 has a hole at block 1
File system is now read-only due to the potential of on-disk corruption.
Please run fsck.ocfs2 once the file system is unmounted.

So suppress the ERROR message.

This fixes kernel bugzilla 11469: "TUN with 1024 neighbours:
ip6_dst_lookup_tail NULL crash"

dst->neighbour is not necessarily hooked up at this point
in the processing path, so blindly dereferencing it is
the wrong thing to do.  This NULL check exists in other
similar paths and this case was just an oversight.

Also fix the completely wrong and confusing indentation
here while we're at it.

  clockevents: remove WARN_ON which was used to gather information

The issue of the endless reprogramming loop due to a too small
min_delta_ns was fixed with the previous updates of the clock events
code, but we had no information about the spread of this problem. I
added a WARN_ON to get automated information via kerneloops.org and to
get some direct reports, which allowed me to analyse the affected
machines.

The WARN_ON has served its purpose and would be annoying for a release
kernel. Remove it and just keep the information about the increase of
the min_delta_ns value.

When using kdump modifying the e820 map is yielding strange results.

For example starting with

 BIOS-provided physical RAM map:
 BIOS-e820: 0000000000000100 - 0000000000093400 (usable)
 BIOS-e820: 0000000000093400 - 00000000000a0000 (reserved)
 BIOS-e820: 0000000000100000 - 000000003fee0000 (usable)
 BIOS-e820: 000000003fee0000 - 000000003fef3000 (ACPI data)
 BIOS-e820: 000000003fef3000 - 000000003ff80000 (ACPI NVS)
 BIOS-e820: 000000003ff80000 - 0000000040000000 (reserved)
 BIOS-e820: 00000000e0000000 - 00000000f0000000 (reserved)
 BIOS-e820: 00000000fec00000 - 00000000fec10000 (reserved)
 BIOS-e820: 00000000fee00000 - 00000000fee01000 (reserved)
 BIOS-e820: 00000000ff000000 - 0000000100000000 (reserved)

and booting with args

memmap=exactmap memmap=640K@0K memmap=5228K@16384K memmap=125188K@22252K memmap=76K#1047424K memmap=564K#1047500K

resulted in:

 user-defined physical RAM map:
 user: 0000000000000000 - 0000000000093400 (usable)
 user: 0000000000093400 - 00000000000a0000 (reserved)
 user: 0000000000100000 - 000000003fee0000 (usable)

 user: 00000000ff000000 - 0000000100000000 (reserved)

But should have resulted in:

 user-defined physical RAM map:
 user: 0000000000000000 - 00000000000a0000 (usable)
 user: 0000000001000000 - 000000000151b000 (usable)
 user: 00000000015bb000 - 0000000008ffc000 (usable)
 user: 000000003fee0000 - 000000003ff80000 (ACPI data)

This is happening because of an improper usage of strcmp() in the
e820 parsing code.  The strcmp() always returns !0 and never resets the
value for e820.nr_map and returns an incorrect user-defined map.

This patch fixes the problem.

It was introduced by "vsprintf: add support for '%pS' and '%pF' pointer
formats" in commit 0fe1ef24.  However,
the current way its coded doesn't work on parisc64.  For two reasons: 1)
parisc isn't in the #ifdef and 2) parisc has a different format for
function descriptors

Make dereference_function_descriptor() more accommodating by allowing
architecture overrides.  I put the three overrides (for parisc64, ppc64
and ia64) in arch/kernel/module.c because that's where the kernel
internal linker which knows how to deal with function descriptors sits.
