      compiler-gcc.h: gcc-4.5 needs noclone and noinline on __naked functions · 9c695203
      Mikael Pettersson authored 
      A __naked function is defined in C but with a body completely implemented
by asm(), including any prologue and epilogue.  These asm() bodies expect
standard calling conventions for parameter passing.  Older GCCs implement
that correctly, but 4.[56] currently do not, see GCC PR44290.  In the
Linux kernel this breaks ARM, causing most arch/arm/mm/copypage-*.c
modules to get miscompiled, resulting in kernel crashes during bootup.

Part of the kernel fix is to augment the __naked function attribute to
also imply noinline and noclone.  This patch implements that, and has been
verified to fix boot failures with gcc-4.5 compiled 2.6.34 and 2.6.35-rc1
kernels.  The patch is a no-op with older GCCs.

      flat: tweak default stack alignment · 2952095c
      Mike Frysinger authored 
      The recent commit 1f0ce8b3 ("mm: Move ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGN and
ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN to <linux/slab_def.h>") which moved the
ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGN default into the global header inadvertently broke FLAT
for a bunch of systems.  Blackfin systems now fail on any FLAT exec with:
Unable to read code+data+bss, errno 14 When your /init is a FLAT binary,
obviously this can be annoying ;).

This stems from the alignment usage in the FLAT loader.  The behavior
before was that FLAT would default to ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGN only if it was
defined, and this was only defined by arches when they wanted a larger
alignment value.  Otherwise it'd default to pointer alignment.  Arguably,
this is kind of hokey that the FLAT is semi-abusing defines it shouldn't.

So let's merge the two alignment requirements so the floor is never 0.

      memcg: fix wake up in oom wait queue · 4d845ebf
      KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki authored 
      OOM-waitqueue should be waken up when oom_disable is canceled.  This is a
fix for 3c11ecf4 ("memcg: oom kill disable and oom status").

How to test:
 Create a cgroup A...
 1. set memory.limit and memory.memsw.limit to be small value
 2. echo 1 > /cgroup/A/memory.oom_control, this disables oom-kill.
 3. run a program which must cause OOM.

A program executed in 3 will sleep by oom_waiqueue in memcg.  Then, how to
wake it up is problem.

 1. echo 0 > /cgroup/A/memory.oom_control (enable OOM-killer)
 2. echo big mem > /cgroup/A/memory.memsw.limit_in_bytes(allow more swap)

etc..

Without the patch, a task in slept can not be waken up.

      nommu: add '[stack]' label to /proc/pid/maps output · 3c26c9d9
      Mike Frysinger authored 
      Add support to the NOMMU /proc/pid/maps file to show which mapping is the stack
of the original thread after execve.  This is largely based on the MMU code.
Subsidiary thread stacks are not indicated.

For FDPIC, we now get:

	root:/> cat /proc/self/maps
	02064000-02067ccc rw-p 0004d000 00:01 22         /bin/busybox
	0206e000-0206f35c rw-p 00006000 00:01 295        /lib/ld-uClibc.so.0
	025f0000-025f6f0c r-xs 00000000 00:01 295        /lib/ld-uClibc.so.0
	02680000-026ba6b0 r-xs 00000000 00:01 297        /lib/libc.so.0
	02700000-0274d384 r-xs 00000000 00:01 22         /bin/busybox
	02816000-02817000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0
	02848000-0284c0d8 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0
	02860000-02880000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0          [stack]

The semi-downside here is that for FLAT, we get:

	root:/> cat /proc/155/maps
	029f0000-029f9000 rwxp 00000000 00:00 0          [stack]

The reason being that FLAT combines a whole lot of stuff into one map
(including the stack).  But this isn't any worse than the current output
(which is nothing), so screw it.

      genalloc: fix allocation from end of pool · e621ba99
      Imre Deak authored 
      bitmap_find_next_zero_area requires the size of the bitmap, we instead
passed the last suitable position.  This made it impossible to allocate
from the end of the pool.

Fixes a regression introduced by 243797f5
("genalloc: use bitmap_find_next_zero_area").

      fs: fix superblock iteration race · 57439f87
      npiggin@suse.de authored 
      list_for_each_entry_safe is not suitable to protect against concurrent
modification of the list. 6754af64 introduced a race in sb walking.

list_for_each_entry can use the trick of pinning the current entry in
the list before we drop and retake the lock because it subsequently
follows cur->next. However list_for_each_entry_safe saves n=cur->next
for following before entering the loop body, so when the lock is
dropped, n may be deleted.
