10f0d07c51 sparc32, leon: bugfix in LEON SMP interrupt init
During converting per-cpu ticker to genirq layer some
IRQ initialization code was removed by commit
2cf9530420 ("sparc32,leon:
per-cpu ticker use genirq per-cpu handler").

This patch reintroduces the code at the same place it was
removed from. IRQ12 - IRQ14 will crash on LEON SMP without
this patch because it will run the SUN4M IRQ trap handler.

a7d82a0a3c sparc32, sun4m: bugfix in SMP IPI traphandler
Three new IPIs were introduced by commit
ecbc42b70a ("sparc32, sun4m:
Implemented SMP IPIs support for SUN4M machines"), the
old handler was already prepared for IPIs but handled only
IRQ14 and IRQ13, this patch adds support for the new IPI at
IRQ12.

The IPI trap handler looks at the mask rather than the
pending IRQ/IPI, this bug may have masked the problem
above, introduced by the same commit.

dac853ae89 exec: delay address limit change until point of no return
Unconditionally changing the address limit to USER_DS and not restoring
it to its old value in the error path is wrong because it prevents us
using kernel memory on repeated calls to this function.  This, in fact,
breaks the fallback of hard coded paths to the init program from being
ever successful if the first candidate fails to load.

With this patch applied switching to USER_DS is delayed until the point
of no return is reached which makes it possible to have a multi-arch
rootfs with one arch specific init binary for each of the (hard coded)
probed paths.

Since the address limit is already set to USER_DS when start_thread()
will be invoked, this redundancy can be safely removed.

307cfe7153 powerpc: Force page alignment for initrd reserved memory
When using 64K pages with a separate cpio rootfs, U-Boot will align
the rootfs on a 4K page boundary. When the memory is reserved, and
subsequent early memblock_alloc is called, it will allocate memory
between the 64K page alignment and reserved memory. When the reserved
memory is subsequently freed, it is done so by pages, causing the
early memblock_alloc requests to be re-used, which in my case, caused
the device-tree to be clobbered.

This patch forces the reserved memory for initrd to be kernel page
aligned, and will move the device tree if it overlaps with the range
extension of initrd. This patch will also consolidate the identical
function free_initrd_mem() from mm/init_32.c, init_64.c to mm/mem.c,
and adds the same range extension when freeing initrd. free_initrd_mem()
is also moved to the __init section.

Many thanks to Milton Miller for his input on this patch.

13e12d14e2 vfs: reorganize 'struct inode' layout a bit
This tries to make the 'struct inode' accesses denser in the data cache
by moving a commonly accessed field (i_security) closer to other fields
that are accessed often.

It also makes 'i_state' just an 'unsigned int' rather than 'unsigned
long', since we only use a few bits of that field, and moves it next to
the existing 'i_flags' so that we potentially get better structure
layout (although depending on config options, i_flags may already have
packed in the same word as i_lock, so this improves packing only for the
case of spinlock debugging)

Out 'struct inode' is still way too big, and we should probably move
some other fields around too (the acl fields in particular) for better
data cache access density.  Other fields (like the inode hash) are
likely to be entirely irrelevant under most loads.

95f4efb2d7 selinux: simplify and clean up inode_has_perm()
This is a rather hot function that is called with a potentially NULL
"struct common_audit_data" pointer argument.  And in that case it has to
provide and initialize its own dummy common_audit_data structure.

However, all the _common_ cases already pass it a real audit-data
structure, so that uncommon NULL case not only creates a silly run-time
test, more importantly it causes that function to have a big stack frame
for the dummy variable that isn't even used in the common case!

So get rid of that stupid run-time behavior, and make the (few)
functions that currently call with a NULL pointer just call a new helper
function instead (naturally called inode_has_perm_noapd(), since it has
no adp argument).

This makes the run-time test be a static code generation issue instead,
and allows for a much denser stack since none of the common callers need
the dummy structure.  And a denser stack not only means less stack space
usage, it means better cache behavior.  So we have a win-win-win from
this simplification: less code executed, smaller stack footprint, and
better cache behavior.

e2d4dc5af3 Staging: cx23885: fix include of altera.h
The cx23885 driver was including staging/altera.h, but that file has
moved back into the driver directory.

Why a non-staging driver was including a staging driver is beyond me,
but this fixes the build so everything is happy for now.

For the record, it's not ok for a non-staging driver to depend on a
staging one, as that implies that the non-staging one should also be in
the staging tree if that's needed.

81de916f19 tty_buffer: get rid of 'seen_tail' logic in flush_to_ldisc
The flush_to_ldisc() work entry has special logic to notice when it has
seen the original tail of the data queue, and it avoids continuing the
flush if it sees that _original_ tail rather than the current tail.

This logic can trigger in case somebody is constantly adding new data to
the tty while the flushing is active - and the intent is to avoid
excessive CPU usage while flushing the tty, especially as we used to do
this from a softirq context which made it non-preemptible.

However, since we no longer re-arm the work-queue from within itself
(because that causes other trouble: see commit a5660b41af "tty: fix
endless work loop when the buffer fills up"), this just leads to
possible hung tty's (most easily seen in SMP and with a test-program
that floods a pty with data - nobody seems to have reported this for any
real-life situation yet).

And since the workqueue isn't done from timers and softirq's any more,
it's doubtful whether the CPU useage issue is really relevant any more.
So just remove the logic entirely, and see if anybody ever notices.

Alternatively, we might want to re-introduce the "re-arm the work" for
just this case, but then we'd have to re-introduce the delayed work
model or some explicit timer, which really doesn't seem worth it for
this.
