      Un-inline the core-dump helper functions · 3aa0ce82
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      Tony Luck reports that the addition of the access_ok() check in commit
0eead9ab ("Don't dump task struct in a.out core-dumps") broke the
ia64 compile due to missing the necessary header file includes.

Rather than add yet another include (<asm/unistd.h>) to make everything
happy, just uninline the silly core dump helper functions and move the
bodies to fs/exec.c where they make a lot more sense.

dump_seek() in particular was too big to be an inline function anyway,
and none of them are in any way performance-critical.  And we really
don't need to mess up our include file headers more than they already
are.

      Don't dump task struct in a.out core-dumps · 0eead9ab
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      akiphie points out that a.out core-dumps have that odd task struct
dumping that was never used and was never really a good idea (it goes
back into the mists of history, probably the original core-dumping
code).  Just remove it.

Also do the access_ok() check on dump_write().  It probably doesn't
matter (since normal filesystems all seem to do it anyway), but he
points out that it's normally done by the VFS layer, so ...

[ I suspect that we should possibly do "vfs_write()" instead of
  calling ->write directly.  That also does the whole fsnotify and write
  statistics thing, which may or may not be a good idea. ]

And just to be anal, do this all for the x86-64 32-bit a.out emulation
code too, even though it's not enabled (and won't currently even
compile)

      hrtimer: Preserve timer state in remove_hrtimer() · f13d4f97
      Salman Qazi authored 
      The race is described as follows:

CPU X                                 CPU Y
remove_hrtimer
// state & QUEUED == 0
timer->state = CALLBACK
unlock timer base
timer->f(n) //very long
                                  hrtimer_start
                                    lock timer base
                                    remove_hrtimer // no effect
                                    hrtimer_enqueue
                                    timer->state = CALLBACK |
                                                   QUEUED

                                    lock timer base
                                    remove_hrtimer
                                        mode = INACTIVE
                                        // CALLBACK bit lost!
                                    switch_hrtimer_base
                                            CALLBACK bit not set:
                                                    timer->base
                                                    changes to a
                                                    different CPU.
lock this CPU's timer base

The bug was introduced with commit ca109491 (hrtimer: removing all ur
callback modes) in 2.6.29

      tg3: restore rx_dropped accounting · b0057c51
      Eric Dumazet authored 
      commit 511d2224 (tg3: 64 bit stats on all arches), overlooked the
rx_dropped accounting.

We use a full "struct rtnl_link_stats64" to hold rx_dropped value, but
forgot to report it in tg3_get_stats64().

Use an "unsigned long" instead to shrink "struct tg3" by 176 bytes, and
report this value to stats readers.

Increment rx_dropped counter for oversized frames.

      Paul Fertser authored 
      For carrier detection to work properly when binding the driver with a cable
unplugged, netif_carrier_off() should be called after register_netdev(),
not before.

      x86, numa: For each node, register the memory blocks actually used · 73cf624d
      Yinghai Lu authored 
      Russ reported SGI UV is broken recently. He said:

| The SRAT table shows that memory range is spread over two nodes.
|
| SRAT: Node 0 PXM 0 100000000-800000000
| SRAT: Node 1 PXM 1 800000000-1000000000
| SRAT: Node 0 PXM 0 1000000000-1080000000
|
|Previously, the kernel early_node_map[] would show three entries
|with the proper node.
|
|[    0.000000]     0: 0x00100000 -> 0x00800000
|[    0.000000]     1: 0x00800000 -> 0x01000000
|[    0.000000]     0: 0x01000000 -> 0x01080000
|
|The problem is recent community kernel early_node_map[] shows
|only two entries with the node 0 entry overlapping the node 1
|entry.
|
|    0: 0x00100000 -> 0x01080000
|    1: 0x00800000 -> 0x01000000

After looking at the changelog, Found out that it has been broken for a while by
following commit

|commit 8716273c
|Author: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com>
|Date:   Fri Sep 25 15:20:04 2009 -0700
|
|    x86: Export srat physical topology

Before that commit, register_active_regions() is called for every SRAT memory
entry right away.

Use nodememblk_range[] instead of nodes[] in order to make sure we
capture the actual memory blocks registered with each node.  nodes[]
contains an extended range which spans all memory regions associated
with a node, but that does not mean that all the memory in between are
included.
