This patch is from Iomega, and it allows random write opens of CDROM's
that support the feature.

From: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org>

We have some versions of firmware out there that have huge OF properties.
So huge that we end up overwriting our initrd.

Place a 1MB limit and warn bitterly if its over this.  Also fix a use of
package-to-path where the variable was 64bytes but we would pass in a
length of 255.

ppc64 defconfig update

From: Jeremy Kerr <jk@ozlabs.org>

This patch fixes the sleep in spinlock hvc bug in hvc_write().

The code is a little longer, but protects against large amounts of memory
being kmalloc()ed by userspace, and minimises calls to copy_from_user().

From: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org>

Clean up xmon backtrace code, it was doing all manner of scary things.

From: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org>

Cleanup ppc64 procfs code:

- Use initcalls everywhere. This allowed us to remove the iseries proc
  callback interface.
- Kill proc_pmc.c. Most of it wasnt used (and we are planning to export the
  PMCs via sysfs). The few things left were iseries specific so they
  got moved into iSeries_proc.c.
- Kill pmc.c. We dont use those statistics and the ones that are left
  can be gained via PMCs.
- Create /proc/iSeries and /proc/ppc64 very early. This means we no
  longer have to call proc_ppc64_init in all the drivers, we can
  assume its there.
- Fix some error return cases in rtas-proc.c and rtas-flash
- Dont even try some pseries specific drivers on pmac.

Remove pci DMA exports we now access them via inline functions that
operate on pci_dma_ops.

Dont enable interrupts during interrupt processing on iseries

From: Jake Moilanen <moilanen@austin.ibm.com>

In xics_get_irq(), for a real-to-virt irq lookup, go down the
slowpath by looking through the entire virt_irq_to_real_map array
if take a miss on the radix tree.  This is possible, when an
interrupt is taken before the driver has called request_irq() (eg IDE).

- export find_next_bit and move the other exports here

After this the only iSeries specific EXPORT_SYMBOLS in ppc_ksyms.c are
the assembler ones ...

From: Dave Boutcher <boutcher@us.ibm.com>

Add some functions to make vio.h consistant with pci_dma.h and dma_mapping.h

From: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org>

- Merge some whitespace differences with the ameslab tree
- We check for CPU_MASK_ALL in xics to send irqs to all cpus.
  In some cases CPU_MASK_ALL is smaller than the cpumask (eg
  NR_CPUS == 32 and cpumask is a long), so we mask it here to
  be consistent.

From: Linas Vepstas <linas@austin.ibm.com>

This patch fixes multiple EEH-related bugs:

 - Fixes the eeh_check_failure() usage in an interrupt context.
   This routine is now safe to use in an interrupt. The fix was to
   build a cache of IO addresses and check that, instead of using
   the pci routines.
 - Merges in Olof Johansson's sizeof patch when checking for failure
 - Adds EEH tests to array/string reads
 - Fixes bugs with address resolution (some i/o addresses were handled
   incorrectly, resulting in EEH errors slipping by undetected.)
 - Adds EEH support to the PCI Hotplug system (so that devices that
   get added/removed get properly registered with the EEH subsystem.)
 - Fixes improper use of /proc filesystem.
 - Adds some misc statistics.

While merging Linas' patch I also converted the proc usage to
seq_single, used per cpu variables for the stats and removed the
eeh-force-off option.

From: Linda Xie <lxiep@us.ibm.com>

The changes in this patch are for multifunction cards insertions/removals
and  bug fixes:

1. fix up new nodes' linux_phandle field.
2. new nodes' phb, devfn(and so on) need to be fixed even the nodes don't
	have "interrupts".
3. change of_remove_node to non-recurisve func. The recursions will be done
	by the caller.
4. add a new function -- of_finish_dynamic_node_interrupts()

Remove bogus sys_oldumount sign extension code. We were sign extending
the flags argument which doesnt make sense.

Reduce stack overflow check to 4096 bytes free, we were tripping it
too much at 8192.

From: Rick Lindsley <ricklind@us.ibm.com>

Fix bug #2230.

I've corresponded with the submitter and he did find a real bug -- when we
were merging I/O requests we didn't always take the oldest request start
time, which would cause a couple of the calculations like wait time and
average queue size to be too small.  He found it mathematically but having
done so, I think logic and inspection makes it easy to verify.

On a really small memory machine (or one with a monstrous kernel memory leak)
we can end up calling blk_congestion_wait() before the waitqueue_heads are set
up.

From: Matt Mackall <mpm@selenic.com>

This piece of the THREAD_SIZE cleanup got dropped.  If you make THREAD_SIZE
> 8k, the init thread overlaps the .init section and gets smashed.  I've
gone ahead and killed INIT_THREAD_SIZE throughout as it wasn't doing much.
This also saves 4k when we use 4k stacks.  Please apply.  Couple more minor
pieces remaining.

keventd and friends are currently holding /dev/console open three times.
It's all inherited from init.

Steal the relevant parts of daemonize() to fix that up.

print_objinfo() dumps the first few characters of an interesting object for
debugging.  It used the wrong object len (including debug padding, instead
of just the data area), which could cause an oops if DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is
enabled.

From: Manfred Spraul <manfred@colorfullife.com>

There are a few unchecked do_munmap()s in the shm code.  Manfred's comment
explains why they are OK.

From: BlaisorBlade <blaisorblade_spam@yahoo.it>, and me

- remove unused `file *' arg from do_write_mem()

- Add checking for copy_from_user() failures in do_write_mem()

- Return correct value from kmem writes() when a fault is encountered.  A
  write()-style syscall's return values are:

   0 when nothing was written and there was no error (someone tried to
   write zero bytes)

   >0: the number of bytes copied, whether or not there was an error.
   Userspace detects errors by noting that the write() return value is less
   than was requested.

   <0: there was an error and no bytes were copied

reiserfs can safely use the generic fs aio functions.

From: Chris Mason <mason@suse.com>

reiserfs_file_write() can use stale metadata after a schedule.

Two reiserfs_file_write bugs, where items can change during a schedule.

From: Chris Mason <mason@suse.com>

Make sure reiserfs uses a reasonable number when restarting long unbounded
transactions (creating holes or deleting files).

Without this patch, the number of blocks requested grows with each
transaction restart, until it hits MAX_BATCH_COUNT and starts forcing
commits with every new transaction.

fsstress manages to setup a sequence of events that allow an attempt to
perform direct-io on a tail.  bh_result->b_page == NULL, which causes the
PageLocked and PageWriteback checks to perform a NULL deref, causing the
oops.
