Turning on UNW_DEBUG generates warnings for incorrect number of parameters for formats and several cases of "suggest explicit braces to avoid ambiguous `else'", because UNW_DPRINT contains an if statement. Signed-off-by: Keith Owens <kaos@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: David Mosberger <davidm@hpl.hp.com>

The fast system-call fall-back-path has a race: it reads PSR, modifies some bits, then writes back the new PSR. Unfortunately, the contents of PSR may change between reading and writing it. For example, an interrupt could occur which could trigger a context-switch. The context-switch might in turn flush the floating-point-high (FPH) partition to memory, clear PSR.MFH, and set PSR.DFH. To prevent this race, the patch below turns off PSR.I before reading PSR. This fixes a floating-point corruption problem that was observed on a system with a libc which has the fast system-call support enabled. The performance impact is minimal (on the order of a handful of cycles).

I found a problem with HP NUMA configuration in 2.6.7-rc3-mm1. The node_online_map is incorrect because of actions taken by reassign_cpu_only_nodes in arch/ia64/mm/discontig.c. The mm1 patch which changes the mempolicy for the init_task uses this invalid node_online_map and eventually uses a non-existent node's zonelist when calling __alloc_pages. The patch below takes care of this issue. It puts the non-existent nodes offline. Signed-off-by: David Mosberger <davidm@hpl.hp.com>

Certain IA-32 applications which do mmap/munmaps which are not PAGE_SIZE aligned could see temporary (recovered at process exit time) memory leaks, because the kernel didn't have enough data to decide if the complete page could be unmapped. This patch adds a new data structure called the "partial page list" which helps the kernel keep track of precisely which 4k pages are in use by the IA-32 application. Armed with this data, the kernel can make better decisions at munmap and mprotect time. No significant performance degradation was observed in the workloads we tested and in some cases, the performance actually improved! This is possibly due to the reduced length of the vma list.

The patch below removes the config option and one bit of code for McKinley A0/A1 CPU workarounds. These CPUs were never used in production, and IIRC this workaround really only affected X11. Signed-off-by: David Mosberger <davidm@hpl.hp.com>

When handling FBIOPUTCMAP_SPARC, sbusfb fails to initialize cmap.transp, which quickly leads to an oops when fb_set_cmap() dereferences it. First encountered in Aurora Wombat kernels and seems to afflict mainline as well. Patch is against 2.6.7-rc2. xorg still fails to actually get anything to display on my CG6, but at least it no longer oopses the kernel.

This entry in the DMI blacklist table is missing it's NO_MATCH tags, which means the struct gets padded instead of filled with the desired NO_MATCH data which is {255, NULL} Usually not fatal it seems, but there have been numerous cases in Red Hat bugzilla where this did get tripped up, and caused an immediate reset on these boards. Not fun to track down. Signed-off-by: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

ARGH. Missed one file. Here is an additional patch (missed tlbflush.h patch) Sorry.

The recent introduction of ptep_set_access_flags() with the optimisation of not flushing the TLB unfortunately broke ppc32 CPUs with no hash table. The data access exception code path in assembly for these doesn't properly deal with the case where the TLB entry is present with the wrong PAGE_RW and will just call do_page_fault again instead of just replacing the TLB entry. Fixing the asm code for all the different CPU types affected (yah, embedded PPCs all have different MMUs =P) is painful and need testing I can't do at the moment, so here's a fix that will just flush the TLB page when changing the access flags on non-hash based machines. Please apply. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org

The scheduler changes had another thing missing: the appreciation of sync wakeups. (I had this in one of the earlier sched-domains cleanup patches before but it got lost in the shuffle.) When a sync waker is waking, we should subtract its load from the current load - it will schedule away for sure in the near future. That's what the "sync" bit means. This change is necessary because with the sched-domains balancer we have a much more sensitive cpu-load estimator, and in this particular context of try_to_wake_up() the sync waker's effect will always be part of the load. Patch against your patch attached. In my testing there's an additional increase in bw_pipe numbers on a dual P2 box, it went from 110-120 MB/sec to 120-130 MB/sec.

watchdog.h is using __u8 and __u32 from linux/types.h, so it needs to include it.
