[PATCH] alpha: set cpu_possible_map much earlier
All the percpu data structure walkers want cpu_possible_map to be
initialized early, but alpha instead populated "hwrpb_cpu_present_mask"
early in setup_smp(), and then initialized cpu_possible_map only much
later.
Thanks go to Heiko Carstens and Dipankar Sarma for noticing.
This fixes it and we can get rid of hwrpb_cpu_present_mask entirely.

[PATCH] block: implement elv_insert and use it (fix ordcolor flipping bug)
q->ordcolor must only be flipped on initial queueing of a hardbarrier
request.
Constructing ordered sequence and requeueing used to pass through
__elv_add_request() which flips q->ordcolor when it sees a barrier
request.
This patch separates out elv_insert() from __elv_add_request() and uses
elv_insert() when constructing ordered sequence and requeueing.
elv_insert() inserts the given request at the specified position and
does nothing else.

ppc: fix up trivial Kconfig config selection
Quoth BenH:
"Ok, looks like I forgot to update the Kconfig for the new i2c driver,
it should select I2C_POWERMAC instead. Do you want a new patch or
can you just fix it there ?"
When issuing an SG_IO ioctl through sd that resulted in an unrecoverable
error, a nearly infinite retry loop was discovered. This is due to the
fact that the block layer SG_IO code is not setting up rq->retries. This
patch also fixes up the sg_scsi_ioctl path.

[PATCH] powerpc: Thermal control for dual core G5s
This patch adds a windfarm module, windfarm_pm112, for the dual core G5s
(both 2 and 4 core models), keeping the machine from getting into
vacuum-cleaner mode ;) For proper credits, the patch was initially
written by Paul Mackerras, and slightly reworked by me to add overtemp
handling among others. The patch also removes the sysfs attributes from
windfarm_pm81 and windfarm_pm91 and instead adds code to the windfarm
core to automagically expose attributes for sensor & controls.

[PATCH] arm: fix dependencies for MTD_XIP
MTD_XIP depends on having working asm/mtd-xip.h; it's not just per-architecture
(arm-only, as current Kconfig would have it), but actually per-subarch as
well. Introduced a new symbol (ARCH_MTD_XIP) set by arch Kconfig; MTD_XIP
depends on it.
The PowerMac sound drivers used to rely on a "bug" of the i2c-keywest
driver that implemented I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_DATA incorrectly, that is it did
what I2C_SMBUS_I2C_BLOCK_DATA should have done. The new i2c-powermac
driver that replaces keywest has this bug fixed, thus the sound drivers
must be fixed too.

[PATCH] unshare system call -v5: system call handler function
sys_unshare system call handler function accepts the same flags as clone
system call, checks constraints on each of the flags and invokes corresponding
unshare functions to disassociate respective process context if it was being
shared with another task.
Here is the link to a program for testing unshare system call.
Please note that because of a problem in rmdir associated with bind mounts and
clone with CLONE_NEWNS, the test fails while trying to remove temporary test
directory. You can remove that temporary directory by doing rmdir, twice,
from the command line. The first will fail with EBUSY, but the second will
succeed. I have reported the problem to Ram Pai and Al Viro with a small
program which reproduces the problem. Al told us yesterday that he will be
looking at the problem soon. I have tried multiple rmdirs from the
unshare_test program itself, but for some reason that is not working. Doing
two rmdirs from command line does seem to remove the directory.

[PATCH] Fix spinlock debugging delays to not time out too early
The spinlock-debug wait-loop was using loops_per_jiffy to detect too long

The fix is to include a __delay(1) call in the loop, to correctly approximate
the intended delay timeout of 1 second. The code assumes that every

[PATCH] mm: compound release fix
Compound pages on SMP systems can now often be freed from pagetables via
the release_pages path. This uses put_page_testzero which does not handle
compound pages at all. Releasing constituent pages from process mappings

at the head page - net result is a memory leak.
The problem was hidden because the debug check in put_page_testzero itself
actually did take compound pages into consideration.

[PATCH] __cmpxchg() must really always be inlined on alpha
With the latest 2.6.15 kernel builds for alpha on Debian, we ran into a
problem with undefined references to __cmpxchg_called_with_bad_pointer() in
a couple of kernel modules (xfs.ko and drm.ko; see
http://bugs.debian.org/347556).
It looks like people have been trying to out-clever each other wrt the
definition of "inline" on this architecture :), with the result that
__cmpxchg(), which must be inlined so the compiler can see its argument is
const, is not guaranteed to be inlined. Indeed, it was not being inlined
when building with -Os.
The attached patch fixes the issue by adding an
__attribute__((always_inline)) explicitly to the definition of __cmpxchg()
instead of relying on redefines of "inline" elsewhere to make this happen.
