5572a9859f ACPICA: Fix to allow aliases within ASL namepaths
Fixes a problem where the use of an alias within a namepath
would result in a not found error or cause the compiler to fault.
Also now allows forward references from the Alias operator itself.
ACPICA BZ 738.

a8fadc923d ACPICA: Add support to externally execute _OSI method
The current implemenation of _OSI within ACPICA only allows other
control methods to execute _OSI. This change allows the host
OS to execute _OSI via the AcpiEvaluateObject interface. _OSI
is a special method -- it does not exist in the AML code, it is
implemented within ACPICA.

host OS must setup the wake much differently for each vector (real

which vector to use.  Also eliminate the GetFirmwareWakingVector

40f15ad8aa x86: disable X86_PTRACE_BTS
there's a new ptrace arch level feature in .28:

  config X86_PTRACE_BTS
  bool "Branch Trace Store"

it has broken fork() handling: the old DS area gets copied over into
a new task without clearing it.

Fixes exist but they came too late:

  c5dee61: x86, bts: memory accounting
  bf53de9: x86, bts: add fork and exit handling

and are queued up for v2.6.29. This shows that the facility is still not
tested well enough to release into a stable kernel - disable it for now and
reactivate in .29. In .29 the hardware-branch-tracer will use the DS/BTS
facilities too - hopefully resulting in better code.

d519c8d9cc edac: fix edac core deadlock when removing a device
When deleting an edac device, we have to wait for its edac_dev.work to be
completed before deleting the whole edac_dev structure.  Since we have no
idea which work in current edac_poller's workqueue is the work we are
conerned about, we wait for all work in the edac_poller's workqueue to be
proceseed.  This is done via flush_cpu_workqueue() which inserts a
wq_barrier into the tail of the workqueue and then sleeping on the
completion of this wq_barrier.  The edac_poller will wake up sleepers when
it is found.

EDAC core creates only one kernel worker thread, edac_poller, to run the
works of all current edac devices.  They share the same callback function
of edac_device_workq_function(), which would grab the mutex of
device_ctls_mutex first before it checks the device.  This is exactly
where edac_poller and rmmod would have a great chance to deadlock.

In below call trace of rmmod > ... >
edac_device_del_device >
edac_device_workq_teardown > flush_workqueue > flush_cpu_workqueue,

device_ctls_mutex would have already been grabbed by
edac_device_del_device().  So, on one hand rmmod would sleep on the
completion of a wq_barrier, holding device_ctls_mutex; on the other hand
edac_poller would be blocked on the same mutex when it's running any one
of works of existing edac evices(Note, this edac_dev.work is likely to be
totally irrelevant to the one that is being removed right now)and never
would have a chance to run the work of above wq_barrier to wake rmmod up.

edac_device_workq_teardown() should not be called within the critical
region of device_ctls_mutex.  Just like is done in edac_pci_del_device()
and edac_mc_del_mc(), where edac_pci_workq_teardown() and
edac_mc_workq_teardown() are called after related mutex are released.

Moreover, an edac_dev.work should check first if it is being removed.  If
this is the case, then it should bail out immediately.  Since not all of
existing edac devices are to be removed, this "shutting flag" should be
contained to edac device being removed.  The current edac_dev.op_state can
be used to serve this purpose.

The original deadlock problem and the solution have been witnessed and
tested on actual hardware.  Without the solution, rmmod an edac driver
would result in below deadlock:

root@localhost:/root> rmmod mv64x60_edac
EDAC DEBUG: mv64x60_dma_err_remove()
EDAC DEBUG: edac_device_del_device()
EDAC DEBUG: find_edac_device_by_dev()

7b37b5fd9b ACPI: disable MPS when NO APIC-table found
When ACPI is asked to find an MADT (APIC table)
and fails, then ACPI expects to run in PIC mode.

However, if an MP Table is was found, IRQs will be
registered as if an IOAPIC is being used, even
though ACPI is configuring interrupt links links for PIC mode.

In this scenario, disable MPS so that IRQs
are registered in PIC mode, consistent with ACPI.

3d44cc3e01 Null pointer deref with hrtimer_try_to_cancel()
Impact: Prevent kernel crash with posix timer clockid CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW

commit 2d42244ae7 (clocksource:
introduce CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW) introduced a new clockid, which is only
available to read out the raw not NTP adjusted system time.

The above commit did not prevent that a posix timer can be created
with that clockid. The timer_create() syscall succeeds and initializes
the timer to a non existing hrtimer base. When the timer is deleted
either by timer_delete() or by the exit() cleanup the kernel crashes.

Prevent the creation of timers for CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW by setting the
posix clock function to no_timer_create which returns an error code.

280a9ca5d0 x86: fix resume (S2R) broken by Intel microcode module, on A110L
Impact: fix deadlock

This is in response to the following bug report:

Bug-Entry       : http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12100
Subject         : resume (S2R) broken by Intel microcode module, on A110L
Submitter       : Andreas Mohr <andi@lisas.de>
Date            : 2008-11-25 08:48 (19 days old)

[ The deadlock scenario has been discovered by Andreas Mohr ]

I think I might have a logical explanation why the system:

  (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12100)

might hang upon resuming, OTOH it should have likely hanged each and every time.

(1) possible deadlock in microcode_resume_cpu() if either 'if' section is
taken;

(2) now, I don't see it in spec. and can't experimentally verify it (newer
ucodes don't seem to be available for my Core2duo)... but logically-wise, I'd
think that when read upon resuming, the 'microcode revision' (MSR 0x8B) should
be back to its original one (we need to reload ucode anyway so it doesn't seem
logical if a cpu doesn't drop the version)... if so, the comparison with
memcmp() for the full 'struct cpu_signature' is wrong... and that's how one of
the aforementioned 'if' sections might have been triggered - leading to a
deadlock.

Obviously, in my tests I simulated loading/resuming with the ucode of the same
version (just to see that the file is loaded/re-loaded upon resuming) so this
issue has never popped up.

I'd appreciate if someone with an appropriate system might give a try to the
2nd patch (titled "fix a comparison && deadlock...").

In any case, the deadlock situation is a must-have fix.

f1d9e4586e fs/9p: change simple_strtol to simple_strtoul
Since v9ses->uid is unsigned, it would seem better to use simple_strtoul that
simple_strtol.

A simplified version of the semantic patch that makes this change is as
follows: (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/)

// <smpl>
@r2@
long e;
position p;
@@

e = simple_strtol@p(...)

@@
position p != r2.p;
type T;
T e;
@@

e =
- simple_strtol@p
+ simple_strtoul
  (...)
// </smpl>

d_iname is rubbish for long file names.
Use d_name.name in printks instead.
