ed40771785 [NET]: Fix WAN routers kconfig dependency.
Currently WAN router drivers can be built in-kernel while the
register/unregister_wan_device interfaces are built as modules.
This causes:

drivers/built-in.o: In function `cycx_init':
cycx_main.c:(.init.text+0x5c4b): undefined reference to `register_wan_device'
drivers/built-in.o: In function `cycx_exit':
cycx_main.c:(.exit.text+0x560): undefined reference to `unregister_wan_device'
make: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 1

The problem is caused by tristate -> bool conversion (y or m => y),
so convert WAN_ROUTER_DRIVERS to a tristate so that the correct
dependency is preserved.

8993780a6e Make SLES9 "get_kernel_version" work on the kernel binary again
As reported by Andy Whitcroft, at least the SLES9 initrd build process
depends on getting the kernel version from the kernel binary.  It does
that by simply trawling the binary and looking for the signature of the
"linux_banner" string (the string "Linux version " to be exact. Which
is really broken in itself, but whatever..)

That got broken when the string was changed to allow /proc/version to
change the UTS release information dynamically, and "get_kernel_version"
thus returned "%s" (see commit a2ee8649ba:
"[PATCH] Fix linux banner utsname information").

This just restores "linux_banner" as a static string, which should fix
the version finding.  And /proc/version simply uses a different string.

To avoid wasting even that miniscule amount of memory, the early boot
string should really be marked __initdata, but that just causes the same
bug in SLES9 to re-appear, since it will then find other occurrences of
"Linux version " first.

Fix sizing of big_bytes in the case of vlan frames. The 4
VLAN_HLEN bytes were omitted, leading to sizing the big buffer
4 bytes smaller than it should be.  Due to how rx buffers are
carved from pages, this was harmless for the common (9000, 1500)
byte MTUs, but could lead to data corruption for some MTUs.

99eeb8dfb1 AT91 MMC update for 2.6.19
The driver is usable on the newer SAM9 processors so replace all text
references to AT91RM9200 with just AT91.

The controller bug where all the words are byte-swapped is fixed on the
AT91SAM9 processors.  The byte-swapping work-around therefore only needs
to be done if cpu_is_at91rm9200().
[Original patch from Wojtek Kaniewski]

The AT91RM9200 and AT91SAM9260 processors support two MMC/SD slots - the
slot which is connected is now passed via the platform_data and the
correct slot selected in the AT91_MCI_SDCR register.

The driver should not be calling at91_set_gpio_output() since the VCC
pin should have already been configured as an output in the
processor/board setup code.  The driver should call
at91_set_gpio_value().

6aa8b732ca [PATCH] kvm: userspace interface
web site: http://kvm.sourceforge.net

mailing list: kvm-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
  (http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/kvm-devel)

The following patchset adds a driver for Intel's hardware virtualization
extensions to the x86 architecture.  The driver adds a character device
(/dev/kvm) that exposes the virtualization capabilities to userspace.  Using
this driver, a process can run a virtual machine (a "guest") in a fully
virtualized PC containing its own virtual hard disks, network adapters, and
display.

Using this driver, one can start multiple virtual machines on a host.

Each virtual machine is a process on the host; a virtual cpu is a thread in
that process.  kill(1), nice(1), top(1) work as expected.  In effect, the
driver adds a third execution mode to the existing two: we now have kernel
mode, user mode, and guest mode.  Guest mode has its own address space mapping
guest physical memory (which is accessible to user mode by mmap()ing
/dev/kvm).  Guest mode has no access to any I/O devices; any such access is
intercepted and directed to user mode for emulation.

The driver supports i386 and x86_64 hosts and guests.  All combinations are
allowed except x86_64 guest on i386 host.  For i386 guests and hosts, both pae
and non-pae paging modes are supported.

SMP hosts and UP guests are supported.  At the moment only Intel
hardware is supported, but AMD virtualization support is being worked on.

Performance currently is non-stellar due to the naive implementation of the
mmu virtualization, which throws away most of the shadow page table entries
every context switch.  We plan to address this in two ways:

- cache shadow page tables across tlb flushes
- wait until AMD and Intel release processors with nested page tables

Currently a virtual desktop is responsive but consumes a lot of CPU.  Under
Windows I tried playing pinball and watching a few flash movies; with a recent
CPU one can hardly feel the virtualization.  Linux/X is slower, probably due
to X being in a separate process.

In addition to the driver, you need a slightly modified qemu to provide I/O
device emulation and the BIOS.

Caveats (akpm: might no longer be true):

- The Windows install currently bluescreens due to a problem with the
  virtual APIC.  We are working on a fix.  A temporary workaround is to
  use an existing image or install through qemu
- Windows 64-bit does not work.  That's also true for qemu, so it's
  probably a problem with the device model.

2b2842146c [PATCH] user of the jiffies rounding patch: Slab
This patch introduces users of the round_jiffies() function in the slab code.

The slab code has a few "run every second" timers for background work; these
are obviously not timing critical as long as they happen roughly at the right
frequency.

44d306e150 [PATCH] user of the jiffies rounding code: JBD
This patch introduces a user: of the round_jiffies() function; the "5 second"
ext3/jbd wakeup.

While "every 5 seconds" doesn't sound as a problem, there can be many of these
(and these timers do add up over all the kernel).  The "5 second" wakeup isn't
really timing sensitive; in addition even with rounding it'll still happen
every 5 seconds (with the exception of the very first time, which is likely to
be rounded up to somewhere closer to 6 seconds)

4c36a5dec2 [PATCH] round_jiffies infrastructure
Introduce a round_jiffies() function as well as a round_jiffies_relative()
function.  These functions round a jiffies value to the next whole second.
The primary purpose of this rounding is to cause all "we don't care exactly
when" timers to happen at the same jiffy.

This avoids multiple timers firing within the second for no real reason;
with dynamic ticks these extra timers cause wakeups from deep sleep CPU
sleep states and thus waste power.

The exact wakeup moment is skewed by the cpu number, to avoid all cpus from
waking up at the exact same time (and hitting the same lock/cachelines
there)

5466b456ed [PATCH] fdtable: Implement new pagesize-based fdtable allocator
This patch provides an improved fdtable allocation scheme, useful for
expanding fdtable file descriptor entries.  The main focus is on the fdarray,
as its memory usage grows 128 times faster than that of an fdset.

The allocation algorithm sizes the fdarray in such a way that its memory usage
increases in easy page-sized chunks. The overall algorithm expands the allowed
size in powers of two, in order to amortize the cost of invoking vmalloc() for
larger allocation sizes. Namely, the following sizes for the fdarray are
considered, and the smallest that accommodates the requested fd count is
chosen:

    pagesize / 4
    pagesize / 2
    pagesize      <- memory allocator switch point
    pagesize * 2
    pagesize * 4
    ...etc...

Unlike the current implementation, this allocation scheme does not require a
loop to compute the optimal fdarray size, and can be done in efficient
straightline code.

Furthermore, since the fdarray overflows the pagesize boundary long before any
of the fdsets do, it makes sense to optimize run-time by allocating both
fdsets in a single swoop.  Even together, they will still be, by far, smaller
than the fdarray.  The fdtable->open_fds is now used as the anchor for the
fdset memory allocation.

4fd45812cb [PATCH] fdtable: Remove the free_files field
An fdtable can either be embedded inside a files_struct or standalone (after
being expanded).  When an fdtable is being discarded after all RCU references
to it have expired, we must either free it directly, in the standalone case,
or free the files_struct it is contained within, in the embedded case.

Currently the free_files field controls this behavior, but we can get rid of
it entirely, as all the necessary information is already recorded.  We can
distinguish embedded and standalone fdtables using max_fds, and if it is
embedded we can divine the relevant files_struct using container_of().

bbea9f6966 [PATCH] fdtable: Make fdarray and fdsets equal in size
Currently, each fdtable supports three dynamically-sized arrays of data: the
fdarray and two fdsets.  The code allows the number of fds supported by the
fdarray (fdtable->max_fds) to differ from the number of fds supported by each
of the fdsets (fdtable->max_fdset).

In practice, it is wasteful for these two sizes to differ: whenever we hit a
limit on the smaller-capacity structure, we will reallocate the entire fdtable
and all the dynamic arrays within it, so any delta in the memory used by the
larger-capacity structure will never be touched at all.

Rather than hogging this excess, we shouldn't even allocate it in the first
place, and keep the capacities of the fdarray and the fdsets equal.  This
patch removes fdtable->max_fdset.  As an added bonus, most of the supporting
code becomes simpler.

f3d19c90fb [PATCH] fdtable: Delete pointless code in dup_fd()
The dup_fd() function creates a new files_struct and fdtable embedded inside
that files_struct, and then possibly expands the fdtable using expand_files().

The out_release error path is invoked when expand_files() returns an error
code.  However, when this attempt to expand fails, the fdtable is left in its
original embedded form, so it is pointless to try to free the associated
fdarray and fdsets.
