97ac73506c sys_fallocate() implementation on i386, x86_64 and powerpc
fallocate() is a new system call being proposed here which will allow
applications to preallocate space to any file(s) in a file system.
Each file system implementation that wants to use this feature will need
to support an inode operation called ->fallocate().
Applications can use this feature to avoid fragmentation to certain
level and thus get faster access speed. With preallocation, applications
also get a guarantee of space for particular file(s) - even if later the
the system becomes full.

Currently, glibc provides an interface called posix_fallocate() which
can be used for similar cause. Though this has the advantage of working
on all file systems, but it is quite slow (since it writes zeroes to
each block that has to be preallocated). Without a doubt, file systems
can do this more efficiently within the kernel, by implementing
the proposed fallocate() system call. It is expected that
posix_fallocate() will be modified to call this new system call first
and incase the kernel/filesystem does not implement it, it should fall
back to the current implementation of writing zeroes to the new blocks.
ToDos:
1. Implementation on other architectures (other than i386, x86_64,
   and ppc). Patches for s390(x) and ia64 are already available from
   previous posts, but it was decided that they should be added later
   once fallocate is in the mainline. Hence not including those patches
   in this take.
2. Changes to glibc,
   a) to support fallocate() system call
   b) to make posix_fallocate() and posix_fallocate64() call fallocate()

317b3c2167 fbdev: detect primary display device
Add function helper, fb_is_primary_device().  Given struct fb_info, it will
return a nonzero value if the device is the primary display.

Currently, only the i386 is supported where the function checks for the
IORESOURCE_ROM_SHADOW flag.

769848c038 Add __GFP_MOVABLE for callers to flag allocations from high memory that may be migrated
It is often known at allocation time whether a page may be migrated or not.
This patch adds a flag called __GFP_MOVABLE and a new mask called
GFP_HIGH_MOVABLE.  Allocations using the __GFP_MOVABLE can be either migrated
using the page migration mechanism or reclaimed by syncing with backing
storage and discarding.

An API function very similar to alloc_zeroed_user_highpage() is added for
__GFP_MOVABLE allocations called alloc_zeroed_user_highpage_movable().  The
flags used by alloc_zeroed_user_highpage() are not changed because it would
change the semantics of an existing API.  After this patch is applied there
are no in-kernel users of alloc_zeroed_user_highpage() so it probably should
be marked deprecated if this patch is merged.

Note that this patch includes a minor cleanup to the use of __GFP_ZERO in
shmem.c to keep all flag modifications to inode->mapping in the
shmem_dir_alloc() helper function.  This clean-up suggestion is courtesy of
Hugh Dickens.

Additional credit goes to Christoph Lameter and Linus Torvalds for shaping the
concept.  Credit to Hugh Dickens for catching issues with shmem swap vector
and ramfs allocations.

This follows a suggestion from Chuck Ebbert on how to make seccomp

ed4aaadb1a fix jvc cdrom drive lockup
Before calling init_hwif_default, ide_unregister gets lock ide_lock and
disables irq.  init_hwif_default calls ide_default_io_base which calls
pci_get_device and later pci_get_subsys tries to apply for semaphore
pci_bus_sem and goes to sleep.

Mostly, pci_get_device should be called when irq is turned on.

ide_default_io_base just needs find if list pci_devices is empty.

18a8bd949d serial: convert early_uart to earlycon for 8250
Beacuse SERIAL_PORT_DFNS is removed from include/asm-i386/serial.h and
include/asm-x86_64/serial.h.  the serial8250_ports need to be probed late in
serial initializing stage.  the console_init=>serial8250_console_init=>
register_console=>serial8250_console_setup will return -ENDEV, and console
ttyS0 can not be enabled at that time.  need to wait till uart_add_one_port in
drivers/serial/serial_core.c to call register_console to get console ttyS0.
that is too late.

Make early_uart to use early_param, so uart console can be used earlier.  Make
it to be bootconsole with CON_BOOT flag, so can use console handover feature.
and it will switch to corresponding normal serial console automatically.

new command line will be:
	console=uart8250,io,0x3f8,9600n8
	console=uart8250,mmio,0xff5e0000,115200n8
or
	earlycon=uart8250,io,0x3f8,9600n8
	earlycon=uart8250,mmio,0xff5e0000,115200n8

it will print in very early stage:
	Early serial console at I/O port 0x3f8 (options '9600n8')
	console [uart0] enabled
later for console it will print:
	console handover: boot [uart0] -> real [ttyS0]

I'm not sure if this is going to fly, weak symbols work on the compilers I'm

I've cc'ed as many arch maintainers/lists as I could find.

But assuming they do, we can use a weak empty definition of
pcibios_add_platform_entries() to avoid having an empty definition on every
arch.

8dab5241d0 Rework ptep_set_access_flags and fix sun4c
Some changes done a while ago to avoid pounding on ptep_set_access_flags and
update_mmu_cache in some race situations break sun4c which requires
update_mmu_cache() to always be called on minor faults.

This patch reworks ptep_set_access_flags() semantics, implementations and
callers so that it's now responsible for returning whether an update is
necessary or not (basically whether the PTE actually changed).  This allow
fixing the sparc implementation to always return 1 on sun4c.

It is not safe to use pte_update_defer() in ptep_test_and_clear_young():
its only user, /proc/<pid>/clear_refs, drops pte lock before flushing TLB.
Use the safe though less efficient pte_update() paravirtop in its place.
Likewise in ptep_test_and_clear_dirty(), though that has no current use.

These are macros (header file dependency stops them from becoming inline
functions), so be more liberal with the underscores and parentheses.

e8edc6e03a Detach sched.h from mm.h
First thing mm.h does is including sched.h solely for can_do_mlock() inline
function which has "current" dereference inside. By dealing with can_do_mlock()
mm.h can be detached from sched.h which is good. See below, why.

This patch
a) removes unconditional inclusion of sched.h from mm.h
b) makes can_do_mlock() normal function in mm/mlock.c
c) exports can_do_mlock() to not break compilation
d) adds sched.h inclusions back to files that were getting it indirectly.
e) adds less bloated headers to some files (asm/signal.h, jiffies.h) that were
   getting them indirectly

Net result is:
a) mm.h users would get less code to open, read, preprocess, parse, ... if
   they don't need sched.h
b) sched.h stops being dependency for significant number of files:
   on x86_64 allmodconfig touching sched.h results in recompile of 4083 files,
   after patch it's only 3744 (-8.3%).

Cross-compile tested on

	all arm defconfigs, all mips defconfigs, all powerpc defconfigs,
	alpha alpha-up
	arm
	i386 i386-up i386-defconfig i386-allnoconfig

Andi Kleen is unhappy with the changes, and they really do not seem
worth it.  IPMI could use DIE_NMI_IPI instead of the new callback, even
though that ends up having its own set of problems too, mainly because
the IPMI code cannot really know the NMI was from IPMI or not.

Manually fix up conflicts in arch/x86_64/kernel/traps.c and

This patch could be made even simpler if we don't mind POLLREMOVE turning

6041b57c6c i386: work around miscompilation of alternatives code
A recent change makes my Dell 1501 hang on boot.  It's an AMD MK-36.  I use
an x86_64 kernel.  It is 100% reproducible.

I debugged this problem a bit and my compiler[1]interprets the =A constraint
as %rax instead of %edx:%eax on x86_64 which causes the problem.  The appended
patch provides a workaround for this and fixed the hang on my machine.

5a18c92aab Revert "[PATCH] paravirt: Add startup infrastructure for paravirtualization"
This reverts commit c9ccf30d77.

Entering the kernel at startup_32 without passing our real mode data in
%esi, and without guaranteeing that physical and virtual addresses are
identity mapped makes head.S impossible to maintain.

The only user of this infrastructure is lguest which is not merged so
nothing we currently support will break by removing this over designed
nightmare, and only the pending lguest patches will be affected.  The
pending Xen patches have a different entry point that they use.

We are currently discussing what Xen and lguest need to do to boot the
kernel in a more normal fashion so using startup_32 in this weird manner is
clearly not their long term direction.

So let's remove this code in head.S before it causes brain damage to people
trying to maintain head.S

a36166c6ef Use the APIC to determine the hardware processor id - i386
hard_smp_processor_id used to be just a macro that hard-coded
hard_smp_processor_id to 0 in the non SMP case.  When booting non SMP kernels
on hardware where the boot ioapic id is not 0 this turns out to be a problem.
This is happens frequently in the case of kdump and once in a great while in
the case of real hardware.

Use the APIC to determine the hardware processor id in both UP and SMP kernels
to fix this issue.

Notice that hard_smp_processor_id is only used by SMP code or by code that
works with apics so we do not need to handle the case when apics are not
present and hard_smp_processor_id should never be called there.

2f4dfe206a Remove hardcoding of hard_smp_processor_id on UP systems
With the advent of kdump, the assumption that the boot CPU when booting an UP
kernel is always the CPU with a particular hardware ID (often 0) (usually
referred to as BSP on some architectures) is not valid anymore.  The reason
being that the dump capture kernel boots on the crashed CPU (the CPU that
invoked crash_kexec), which may be or may not be that particular CPU.

Move definition of hard_smp_processor_id for the UP case to
architecture-specific code ("asm/smp.h") where it belongs, so that each
architecture can provide its own implementation.

7e92b4fc34 x86, serial: convert legacy COM ports to platform devices
Make x86 COM ports into platform devices and don't probe for them
if we have PNP.

This prevents double discovery, where a device was found both by
the legacy probe and by 8250_pnp, e.g.,

    serial8250: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
    00:02: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A

This also means IRDA devices without a UART PNP ID will no longer be
claimed by the serial driver, which might require changes in IRDA
drivers and administration.

In addition to this patch, you may need to configure a setserial init
script, e.g., /etc/init.d/setserial, so it doesn't poke legacy UART
stuff back in.  On Debian, "dpkg-reconfigure setserial" with the "kernel"
option does this.

To force the old legacy probe behavior even when we have PNPBIOS or
ACPI, load the new legacy_serial module (or build 8250 static) with
the "legacy_serial.force" option.

a436ed9c51 x86: create asm/cmpxchg.h
i386:

  Rearrange the cmpxchg code to allow atomic.h to get it without needing to
  include system.h.  This kills warnings in the UML build from atomic.h about
  implicit declarations of cmpxchg symbols.  The i386 build presumably isn't
  seeing this because a separate inclusion of system.h is covering it over.

  The cmpxchg stuff is moved to asm-i386/cmpxchg.h, with an include left in
  system.h for the benefit of generic code which expects cmpxchg there.

  Meanwhile, atomic.h includes cmpxchg.h.

  This causes no noticable damage to the i386 build.

x86_64:

  Move cmpxchg into its own header.  atomic.h already included system.h, so
  this is changed to include cmpxchg.h.

  This is purely cleanup - it's not fixing any warnings - so if the x86_64
  system.h isn't considered as cleanup-worthy as i386, then this can be
  dropped.

  It causes no noticable damage to the x86_64 build.

uml:

  The i386 and x86_64 cmpxchg patches require an asm-um/cmpxchg.h for the
  UML build.

2856f5e31c atomic.h: atomic_add_unless as inline. Remove system.h atomic.h circular dependency
atomic_add_unless as inline. Remove system.h atomic.h circular dependency.
I agree (with Andi Kleen) this typeof is not needed and more error
prone. All the original atomic.h code that uses cmpxchg (which includes
the atomic_add_unless) uses defines instead of inline functions,
probably to circumvent a circular dependency between system.h and
atomic.h on powerpc (which my patch addresses). Therefore, it makes
sense to use inline functions that will provide type checking.

atomic_add_unless as inline. Remove system.h atomic.h circular dependency.
Digging into the FRV architecture shows me that it is also affected by
such a circular dependency. Here is the diff applying this against the
rest of my atomic.h patches.

It applies over the atomic.h standardization patches.
