[PATCH] fbcon: Add ability to save/restore graphics state
Add hooks to save and restore the graphics state. These hooks are called in
fbcon_blank() when entering/leaving KD_GRAPHICS mode. This is needed by
savagefb at least so it can cooperate with savage_dri and by cyblafb.
[PATCH] fbcon: fix complement_mask() with 512 character map
There is a bug in the complement_mask when you have a 512-character map.
Linux boots to a default 256-character map and most probably your login
profile is loading a 512-character map which results in a bad gpm cursor.

So use a trivial helper function for the cases where we wanted to inquire
if a mapping was COW-like or not.

Remove (at least temporarily) the "incomplete PFN mapping" support
With the previous commit, we can handle arbitrary shared re-mappings
even without this complexity, and since the only known private mappings
are for strange users of /dev/mem (which never create an incomplete one),
there seems to be no reason to support it.

Allow arbitrary shared PFNMAP's
A shared mapping doesn't cause COW-pages, so we don't need to worry
about the whole vm_pgoff logic to decide if a PFN-remapped page has
gone through COW or not.
This makes it possible to entirely avoid the special "partial remapping"
logic for the common case.

[PATCH] ppc32: set smp_tb_synchronized on UP with SMP kernel
ppc32 kernel, when built with CONFIG_SMP and booted on a single CPU
machine, will not properly set smp_tb_synchronized, thus causing
gettimeofday() to not use the HW timebase and to be limited to jiffy
resolution. This, among others, causes unacceptable pauses when launching
X.org.

Using ptrace() functionality, run to main(), and start singlestepping.
Singlestep over \"BX LR\" instruction won\'t transfer the control back
to main, but run the code to completion.
This problems seems to be in the function get_branch_address() in
arch/arm/kernel/ptrace.c. The function doesn\'t seem to recognize BX
and BLX instructions as branches. BX and BLX instructions can be used
to convert from ARM to Thumb mode if the target address has the low
bit set. However, they are also perfectly legal in the ARM only mode.
Although other things in the kernel seem to indicate that only ARM
mode is accepted (and not Thumb), many compilers will generate BX
and BLX instructions even when generating ARM only code.

[PATCH] powerpc: Fix SLB flushing path in hugepage
On ppc64, when opening a new hugepage region, we need to make sure any
old normal-page SLBs for the area are flushed on all CPUs. There was
a bug in this logic - after putting the new hugepage area masks into
the thread structure, we copied it into the paca (read by the SLB miss
handler) only on one CPU, not on all. This could cause incorrect SLB
entries to be loaded when a multithreaded program was running
simultaneously on several CPUs. This patch corrects the error,
copying the context information into the PACA on all CPUs using the mm
in question before flushing any existing SLB entries.

[PATCH] powerpc: Add missing icache flushes for hugepages
On most powerpc CPUs, the dcache and icache are not coherent so
between writing and executing a page, the caches must be flushed.
Userspace programs assume pages given to them by the kernel are icache
clean, so we must do this flush between the kernel clearing a page and
it being mapped into userspace for execute. We were not doing this
for hugepages, this patch corrects the situation.
We use the same lazy mechanism as we use for normal pages, delaying
the flush until userspace actually attempts to execute from the page
in question.
Tested on G5.

[PATCH] powerpc: Set cache info defaults
Cache info is setup by walking the device tree in initialize_cache_info().
However, icache_flush_range might be called before that, in
slb_initialize()->patch_slb_encoding, which modifies the load immediate
instructions used with SLB fault code.
Not only that, but depending on memory layout, we might take SLB faults
during unflatten_device_tree. So that fault will load an SLB entry that
might not contain the right LLP flags for the segment.
Either we can walk the flattened device tree to setup cache info, or
we can pick the known defaults that are known to work. Doing it in the
flattened device tree is hairier since we need to know the machine type
to know what property to look for, etc, etc.
For now, it's just easier to go with the defaults. Worst thing that
happens from it is that we might waste a few cycles doing too small
dcbst/icbi increments.

[NET]: Fix NULL pointer deref in checksum debugging.
The problem I was seeing turned out to be that skb->dev is NULL when
the checksum is being completed in user context. This happens because
the reference to the device is dropped (to allow it to be released
when packets are in the queue).
Because skb->dev was NULL, the netdev_rx_csum_fault was panicing on
deref of dev->name. How about this?
