133dda1e4f [PATCH] powerpc: Fix cell blade detection
The IBM Cell blade firmware might confuse the kernel to think it's a
pSeries machine. This fixes it for now. With a bit of luck, the firmware
will be updated to avoid that in the future but currently that patch is
needed.

The code in prom_init.c calling the firmware
ibm,client-architecture-support method on pSeries has a bug where it
fails to properly pass the instance handle of the firmware object when
trying to call a method. Result ranges from the call doing nothing to
the firmware crashing. (Found by Segher, thanks !)

bafe00cc92 [PATCH] s390: fix in-user atomic futex operation.
From: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

__futex_atomic_op needs to do an atomic operation in the user address space,
not the kernel address space.  Add the missing sacf 256/sacf 0 to switch to
the secondary mode before doing the compare-and-swap.  In addition add
another fixup for catch specification exceptions if the compare-and-swap
address is not aligned.

71601e2b33 [PATCH] debugfs inode leak
Looking at the reiser4 crash, I found a leak in debugfs. In
debugfs_mknod(), we create the inode before checking if the dentry
already has one attached. We don't free it if that is the case.

These bugs happen quite often, I'm starting to think we should disallow
such coding in CodingStyle.

bc1c116974 [PATCH] elevator switching race
There's a race between shutting down one io scheduler and firing up the
next, in which a new io could enter and cause the io scheduler to be
invoked with bad or NULL data.

To fix this, we need to maintain the queue lock for a bit longer.
Unfortunately we cannot do that, since the elevator init requires to be
run without the lock held.  This isn't easily fixable, without also
changing the mempool API.  So split the initialization into two parts,
and alloc-init operation and an attach operation.  Then we can
preallocate the io scheduler and related structures, and run the attach
inside the lock after we detach the old one.

This patch has survived 30 minutes of 1 second io scheduler switching
with a very busy io load.

From: "Andy Currid" <ACurrid@nvidia.com>

This patch fixes a kernel panic during boot that occurs on NVIDIA platforms
that have HPET enabled.

When HPET is enabled, the standard timer IRQ is routed to IOAPIC pin 2 and is
advertised as such in the ACPI APIC table - but an earlier workaround in the
kernel was ignoring this override.  The fix is to honor timer IRQ overrides
from ACPI when HPET is detected on an NVIDIA platform.

e2f04e1894 [ARM] 3546/1: PATCH: subtle lost interrupts bug on i.MX
Patch from Matt Reimer

There is a subtle bug in the GPIO interrupt status register
handling in arch/arm/mach-imx/irq.c:imx_gpio_ack_irq(). The
documentation states that a 1 should be written to the relevant bit to
acknowledge a GPIO interrupt, but that is not what the code does.

The problem is that the |= writes back 1s for all the *other*
interrupts represented in the register, so interrupts could get lost.
For example, if interrupts are pending for GPIO B10 and B12, ISR_B
would have the value 0x00001400. Then when the interrupt code handles
GPIO B10, it eventually calls imx_gpio_ack_irq(IRQ_GPIOB(10)), which
effectively does this:

ISR_B |= 1 << 10;

with the result that (0x00001400 | 0x00000400) is written, clearing
the interrupt status bits for *both* GPIO B10 and B12.

The fix is to write 1s only for the interrupts we want to clear.

The same problem seems to be occurring in the DMA code; this patch
does not address those issues.

d782f33df7 [ARM] Fix Neponset IRQ handling
While testing the genirq code on ARM, a condition was found whereby
the Neponset IRQ handler was being re-entered, causing the system
to deadlock.

Under the ARM IRQ code, this would not have been a visible problem
because the "simple" IRQ handling had no re-entrancy protection.

Resolve this by acknowledging the parent interrupt after we mask it
when we are going to handle one of our "special" level-based sources
(from ethernet or USAR chip.)

f291196979 [TCP]: Avoid skb_pull if possible when trimming head
Trimming the head of an skb by calling skb_pull can cause the packet
to become unaligned if the length pulled is odd.  Since the length is
entirely arbitrary for a FIN packet carrying data, this is actually
quite common.

Unaligned data is not the end of the world, but we should avoid it if
it's easily done.  In this case it is trivial.  Since we're discarding
all of the head data it doesn't matter whether we move skb->data forward
or back.

However, it is still possible to have unaligned skb->data in general.
So network drivers should be prepared to handle it instead of crashing.

This patch also adds an unlikely marking on len < headlen since partial
ACKs on head data are extremely rare in the wild.  As the return value
of __pskb_trim_head is no longer ever NULL that has been removed.
