PNP: disable PNP motherboard resources that overlap PCI BARs
Some BIOSes have PNP motherboard devices with resources that
partially overlap PCI BARs. The PNP system driver claims these
motherboard resources, which prevents the normal PCI driver from
requesting them later.
This patch disables the PNP resources that conflict with PCI BARs
so they won't be claimed by the PNP system driver.
Of course, this only works if PCI devices have already been enumerated.
Currently this is the case because PCI devices are discovered before
any PNP init via this path:

x86: ia32 syscall restart fix
The code to restart syscalls after signals depends on checking for a
negative orig_ax, and for particular negative -ERESTART* values in ax.
These fields are 64 bits and for a 32-bit task they get zero-extended.
The syscall restart behavior is lost, a regression from a native 32-bit
kernel and from 64-bit tasks' behavior.
This patch fixes the problem by doing sign-extension where it matters.
For orig_ax, the only time the value should be -1 but winds up as
0x0ffffffff is via a 32-bit ptrace call. So the patch changes ptrace to
sign-extend the 32-bit orig_eax value when it's stored; it doesn't
change the checks on orig_ax, though it uses the new current_syscall()
inline to better document the subtle importance of the used of
signedness there.
The ax value is stored a lot of ways and it seems hard to get them all
sign-extended at their origins. So for that, we use the
current_syscall_ret() to sign-extend it only for 32-bit tasks at the
time of the -ERESTART* comparisons.

I figured out another ACPI related regression today.
randconfig testing triggered an early boot-time hang on a laptop of mine
(32-bit x86, config attached) - the screen was scrolling ACPI AML
exceptions [with no serial port and no early debugging available].
v2.6.24 works fine on that laptop with the same .config, so after a few
hours of bisection (had to restart it 3 times - other regressions
interacted), it honed in on this commit:

| acpi: fix acpi_os_read_pci_configuration() misuse of raw_pci_read()
reverting this commit ontop of -rc5 gave a correctly booting kernel.
But this commit fixes a real bug so the real question is, why did it
break the bootup?
After quite some head-scratching, the following change stood out:
- pci_id->bus = tu8;
+ pci_id->bus = val;
pci_id->bus is defined as u16:
struct acpi_pci_id {
u16 segment;
u16 bus;
...
and 'tu8' changed from u8 to u32. So previously we'd unconditionally
mask the return value of acpi_os_read_pci_configuration()
(raw_pci_read()) to 8 bits, but now we just trust whatever comes back
from the PCI access routines and only crop it to 16 bits.
But if the high 8 bits of that result contains any noise then we'll
write that into ACPI's PCI ID descriptor and confuse the heck out of the
rest of ACPI.
So lets check the PCI-BIOS code on that theory. We have this codepath
for 8-bit accesses (arch/x86/pci/pcbios.c:pci_bios_read()):
Aha! The "=a" output constraint puts the full 32 bits of EAX into
*value. But if the BIOS's routines set any of the high bits to nonzero,
we'll return a value with more set in it than intended.
The other, more common PCI access methods (v1 and v2 PCI reads) clear
out the high bits already, for example pci_conf1_read() does:
which explicitly converts the return byte up to 32 bits and zero-extends
it.
So zero-extending the result in the PCI-BIOS read routine fixes the
regression on my laptop. ( It might fix some other long-standing issues
we had with PCI-BIOS during the past decade ... ) Both 8-bit and 16-bit
accesses were buggy.

mempolicy: fix reference counting bugs
Address 3 known bugs in the current memory policy reference counting method.
I have a series of patches to rework the reference counting to reduce overhead
in the allocation path. However, that series will require testing in -mm once
I repost it.
1) alloc_page_vma() does not release the extra reference taken for
vma/shared mempolicy when the mode == MPOL_INTERLEAVE. This can result in
leaking mempolicy structures. This is probably occurring, but not being
noticed.
Fix: add the conditional release of the reference.
2) hugezonelist unconditionally releases a reference on the mempolicy when
mode == MPOL_INTERLEAVE. This can result in decrementing the reference
count for system default policy [should have no ill effect] or premature
freeing of task policy. If this occurred, the next allocation using task
mempolicy would use the freed structure and probably BUG out.
Fix: add the necessary check to the release.
3) The current reference counting method assumes that vma 'get_policy()'
methods automatically add an extra reference a non-NULL returned mempolicy.
This is true for shmem_get_policy() used by tmpfs mappings, including
regular page shm segments. However, SHM_HUGETLB shm's, backed by
hugetlbfs, just use the vma policy without the extra reference. This
results in freeing of the vma policy on the first allocation, with reuse of
the freed mempolicy structure on subsequent allocations.
Fix: Rather than add another condition to the conditional reference
release, which occur in the allocation path, just add a reference when
returning the vma policy in shm_get_policy() to match the assumptions.

USB: fix ehci unlink regressions
The recent EHCI driver update to split the IAA watchdog timer out from
the other timers made several things work better, but not everything;
and it created a couple new issues in bugzilla. Ergo this patch:
- Handle a should-be-rare SMP race between the watchdog firing
and (very late) IAA interrupts;
- Remove a shouldn't-have-been-added WARN_ON() test;
- Guard against one observed OOPS;
- If this watchdog fires during clean HC shutdown, it should act
as a NOP instead of interfering with the shutdown sequence;
- Guard against silicon errata hypothesized by some vendors:
* IAA status latch broken, but IAAD cleared OK;
* IAAD wasn't cleared when IAA status got reported;
The WARN_ON is in bugzilla as 10168; the OOPS as 10078; these are
both regressions.

PCI Hotplug: Fix small mem leak in IBM Hot Plug Controller Driver
In drivers/pci/hotplug/ibmphp_ebda.c::ebda_rsrc_controller(), storage is
allocated with kzalloc() and assigned to 'tmp_slot'. Then lots of
stuff, like ->flag, ->supported_speed etc is set in tmp_slot. A bit
further down there's then this test :
if (!bus_info_ptr1) {
rc = -ENODEV;
goto error;
}
At this point, tmp_slot has not been assigned to anything, so when
erroring-out we want to free it, but nothing at the 'error:' label
free's 'tmp_slot' - and we can't really free 'tmp_slot' at 'error:'
since we may jump to that label later when 'tmp_slot' *has* been used
and we do not want it freed. So, the only sane option left seems to be
to kfree(tmp_slot) just before jumping to the 'error:' label in the one
place where this is what actually makes sense. The following patch does
just that and thus kills off a tiny potential memory leak.

There's a bug in the current implementation of dma_get_required_mask()

rather defeats the purpose if you're using the call to determine what
your mask should be (since you will at that time have the default
DMA_32BIT_MASK). This bug results in any driver that uses this function
*always* getting a 32 bit mask, which is wrong.
