The atmel-mci driver sometimes fails data transfers like this:

   mmcblk0: error -5 transferring data
   end_request: I/O error, dev mmcblk0, sector 2749769
   end_request: I/O error, dev mmcblk0, sector 2749777

It turns out that this might be caused by the BLKR register (which
contains the block size and the number of blocks being transfered) being
initialized too late. This patch moves the initialization of BLKR so
that it contains the correct value before the block transfer command is
sent.

This error is difficult to reproduce, but if you insert a long delay
(mdelay(10) or thereabouts) between the calls to atmci_start_command()
and atmci_submit_data(), all transfers seem to fail without this patch,
while I haven't seen any failures with this patch.

There is a bug in the BIOSes of some HP boxes with AMD Turions which
connects IO-APIC pins with ACPI thermal trip points in such a way that
if the state of the IO-APIC is not as expected by the (buggy) BIOS, the
thermal trip points are set to insanely low values (usually all of them
become 16 degrees Celsius).  As a result, thermal throttling kicks in
and knock the system down to its shoes.

Unfortunately some of the recent IO-APIC changes made the bug show up.
To prevent this from happening, blacklist machines that are known to be
affected (nx6115 and 6715b in this particular case).

This fixes http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11516 listed as
a regression from 2.6.26.

On my box it was caused by:

and the whole story is described in this (huge) thread:

    http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=121358440508410&w=4

Matthew Garrett told us about that happening on the nx6125:

    http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=121396307411930&w=4

and then Maciej analysed the breakage on the basis of a DSDT from the
nx6325:

    http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=121401068718826&w=4

As far as the Dmitry's and Jason's boxes are concerned, I recognized the
symptoms and asked them to verify that the blacklisting helped.

It appears that the buggy BIOS code has been copy-pasted to the entire
range of machines, for no good reason.

Impact: jiffies increment too fast.

Hugh Dickins noted that with NOHZ=n and HIGHRES=n jiffies get
incremented too fast. The reason is a wrong check in the broadcast
enter/exit code, which keeps the local apic timer in periodic mode
when the switch happens.

Check the return value of led_classdev_register and unregister all
registered devices, if registering one device fails.  Also the dynamic
memory handling is totally bogus.  You can't allocate multiple chunks via
kzalloc() and expect them to be in order later.  I wonder how this ever
worked.

When userspace uses SIGIO notification and forgets to disable it before
closing file descriptor, rtc->async_queue contains stale pointer to struct
file.  When user space enables again SIGIO notification in different
process, kernel dereferences this (poisoned) pointer and crashes.

So disable SIGIO notification on close.

At some point during the 2.6.27 development cycle two new fields were added
to the SELinux context structure, a string pointer and a length field.  The
code in selinux_secattr_to_sid() was not modified and as a result these two
fields were left uninitialized which could result in erratic behavior,
including kernel panics, when NetLabel is used.  This patch fixes the
problem by fully initializing the context in selinux_secattr_to_sid() before
use and reducing the level of direct context manipulation done to help
prevent future problems.

Please apply this to the 2.6.27-rcX release stream.

Impact: segfault on build of a 32-bit relocatable kernel

When converting arch/x86/boot/compressed/relocs.c to support unlimited
sections, the computation of sym_strtab in walk_relocs() was done
incorrectly.  This causes a segfault for some people when building the
relocatable 32-bit kernel.

me to look at this code.  Rather than gouge my eyes out with a spoon, I
just fixed it.

This fixes a regression that came with 934b2857
("[S390] nohz/sclp: disable timer on synchronous waits.").
If udelay() gets called from a disabled context it sets the clock comparator
to a value where it expects the next interrupt. When the interrupt happens
the clock comparator gets not reset and therefore the interrupt condition
doesn't get cleared. The result is an endless timer interrupt loop.

In addition this patch fixes also the following:

rcutorture reveals that our __udelay implementation is still buggy,
since it might schedule tasklets, but prevents their execution:

NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 42
NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 02
NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 142
NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 02

To fix this we make sure that only the clock comparator interrupt
is enabled when the enabled wait psw is loaded.
Also no code gets called anymore which might schedule tasklets.

Rework of SMTC support to make it work with the new clock event system,
allowing "tickless" operation, and to make it compatible with the use of
the "wait_irqoff" idle loop.  The new clocking scheme means that the
previously optional IPI instant replay mechanism is now required, and has
been made more robust.

Though from a hardware perspective it would be sensible to use only a
32-bit unsigned int type Linux defines interrupt flags to be stored in
an unsigned long and nothing else.

Doing 'WARN_ON(preempt_count())' was horribly horribly wrong, and would
cause tons of warnings at bootup if PREEMPT was enabled because the
initcalls currently run with the kernel lock, which increments the
preempt count.

At the same time, the warning was also insufficient, since it didn't
check that interrupts were enabled.

The proper debug function to use for something that can sleep and wants
a warning if it's called in the wrong context is 'might_sleep()'.

This is loosely based on a patch by Jesse Barnes to check the user-space
PCI mappings though the sysfs interfaces.  Quoting Jesse's original
explanation:

  It's fairly common for applications to map PCI resources through sysfs.
  However, with the current implementation, it's possible for an application
  to map far more than the range corresponding to the resourceN file it
  opened.  This patch plugs that hole by checking the range at mmap time,
  similar to what is done on platforms like sparc64 in their lower level
  PCI remapping routines.

  It was initially put together to help debug the e1000e NVRAM corruption
  problem, since we initially thought an X driver might be walking past the
  end of one of its mappings and clobbering the NVRAM.  It now looks like
  that's not the case, but doing the check is still important for obvious
  reasons.

and this version of the patch differs in that it uses a helper function
to clarify the code, and does all the checks in pages (instead of bytes)
in order to avoid overflows when doing "<< PAGE_SHIFT" etc.

This patch adds a mutex to the e1000e driver that would help
catch any collisions of two e1000e threads accessing hardware
at the same time.

e1000e was apparently calling two functions that attempted to reserve
the SWFLAG bit for exclusive (to hardware and firmware) access to
the PHY and NVM (aka eeprom).  These accesses could possibly call
msleep to wait for the resource which is not allowed from interrupt
context.

in the process of debugging things, noticed that the swflag is not reset
by the driver after reset, and the swflag is probably not reset unless
management firmware clears it after 100ms.

When we initialise a compound page we initialise the page flags and head
page pointer for all base pages spanned by that page.  When we initialise
a gigantic page (a page of order greater than or equal to MAX_ORDER) we
have to initialise more than MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES pages.  Currently we
assume that all elements of the mem_map in this page are contigious in
memory.  However this is only guarenteed out to MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES pages,
and with SPARSEMEM enabled they will not be contigious.  This leads us to
walk off the end of the first section and scribble on everything which
follows, BAD.

When we reach a MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES boundary we much locate the next
section of the mem_map.  As gigantic pages can only be maximally aligned
we know this will occur at exact multiple of MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES pages from
the start of the page.

This is a bug fix for the gigantic page support in hugetlbfs.

The previous patch db203d53 ("mm:
tiny-shmem fix lock ordering: mmap_sem vs i_mutex") to fix the lock
ordering in tiny-shmem breaks shared anonymous and IPC memory on NOMMU
architectures because it was using the expanding truncate to signal ramfs
to allocate a physically contiguous RAM backing the inode (otherwise it is
unusable for "memory mapping" it to userspace).

However do_truncate is what caused the lock ordering error, due to it
taking i_mutex.  In this case, we can actually just call ramfs directly to
allocate memory for the mapping, rather than go via truncate.
