[x86 setup] Correct the SMAP check for INT 0x15, AX=0xe820
The e820 probe code was checking %edx, not %eax, for the SMAP
signature on return. This worked on *almost* all systems, since %edx
still contained SMAP from the call on entry, but on a handful of
systems it failed -- plus, we would have missed real mismatches.
The error output is "=d" to make sure gcc knows %edx is clobbered
here.

"Linus, please revert the above cset. It doesn't seem to be

Revert "x86-64: Disable local APIC timer use on AMD systems with C1E"
This reverts commit e66485d747505e9d960b864fc6c37f8b2afafaf0, since
Rafael Wysocki noticed that the change only works for his in -mm, not in
mainline (and that both "noapictimer" _and_ "apicmaintimer" are broken
on his hardware, but that's apparently not a regression, just a symptom
of the same issue that causes the automatic apic timer disable to not
work).
It turns out that it really doesn't work correctly on x86-64, since
x86-64 doesn't use the generic clock events for timers yet.
Thanks to Rafal for testing, and here's the ugly details on x86-64 as
per Thomas:
"I just looked into the code and the logic vs. noapictimer on SMP is
completely broken.
On i386 the noapictimer option not only disables the local APIC
timer, it also registers the CPUs for broadcasting via IPI on SMP
systems.
The x86-64 code uses the broadcast only when the local apic timer is
active, i.e. "noapictimer" is not on the command line. This defeats
the whole purpose of "noapictimer". It should be there to make boxen
work, where the local APIC timer actually has a hardware problem,
e.g. the nx6325.
The current implementation of x86_64 only fixes the ACPI c-states
related problem where the APIC timer stops in C3(2), nothing else.
On nx6325 and other AMD X2 equipped systems which have the C1E
enabled we run into the following:
PIT keeps jiffies (and the system) running, but the local APIC timer
interrupts can get out of sync due to this C1E effect.
I don't think this is a critical problem, but it is wrong
nevertheless.
I think it's safe to revert the C1E patch and postpone the fix to the
clock events conversion."
On further reflection, Thomas noted:
"It's even worse than I thought on the first check:
"noapictimer" on the command line of an SMP box prevents _ONLY_ the
boot CPU apic timer from being used. But the secondary CPU is still
unconditionally setting up the APIC timer and uses the non
calibrated variable calibration_result, which is of course 0, to
setup the APIC timer. Wreckage guaranteed."
so we'll just have to wait for the x86 merge to hopefully fix this up
for x86-64.

[PATCH] x86-64: Disable local APIC timer use on AMD systems with C1E
solves a problem with AMD dual core laptops e.g. HP nx6325 (Turion 64
X2) with C1E enabled:
When both cores go into idle at the same time, then the system switches
into C1E state, which is basically the same as C3. This stops the local
apic timer.
This was debugged right after the dyntick merge on i386 and despite the
patch title it fixes only the 32 bit path.
x86_64 is still missing this fix. It seems that mainline is not really
affected by this issue, as the PIT is running and keeps jiffies
incrementing, but that's just waiting for trouble.
-mm suffers from this problem due to the x86_64 high resolution timer
patches.
This is a quick and dirty port of the i386 code to x86_64.
I spent quite a time with Rafael to debug the -mm / hrt wreckage until
someone pointed us to this. I really had forgotten that we debugged this
half a year ago already.
Sigh, is it just me or is there something yelling arch/x86 into my ear?

The problem is that the garbage collector for the 'host' structures

nlmsvc_mark_resources, which, eventually takes the file->f_mutex.
We cannot therefore call nlmsvc_lookup_host() from within

the attempt to grab nlm_host_mutex may deadlock.
Fix the problem by calling nlmsvc_lookup_host() outside the file->f_mutex.

that doesn't do that).
And we'll apparently clean the whole envp thing up for 2.6.24 anyway.
But let's just be robust, and do both this *and* make sure that all

If ADDIP is enabled, when an ASCONF chunk is received with ASCONF

SCTP: Discard OOTB packetes with bundled INIT early.
RFC 4460 and future RFC 4960 (2960-bis) specify that packets
with bundled INIT chunks need to be dropped. We currenlty do
that only after processing any leading chunks. For OOTB chunks,
since we already walk the entire packet, we should discard packets
with bundled INITs.
There are other chunks chunks that MUST NOT be bundled, but the spec
is silent on theire treatment. Thus, we'll leave their teatment
alone for the moment.
SCTP: Clean up OOTB handling and fix infinite loop processing
While processing OOTB chunks as well as chunks with an invalid
length of 0, it was possible to SCTP to get wedged inside an
infinite loop because we didn't catch the condition correctly,
or didn't mark the packet for discard correctly.

clockevents: remove the suspend/resume workaround^Wthinko

but was just a stupid workaround, which was not tackling the root
cause: the assignement of lower idle C-States in the ACPI processor_idle

go faster into deeper C-states exposed the problem again. The correct
solution is the previous patch, which prevents lower C-states across
the suspend/resume.
Remove the enforcement code, including the conditional broadcast timer

ACPI: disable lower idle C-states across suspend/resume
device_suspend() calls ACPI suspend functions, which seems to have undesired

especially the VAIO BIOSes (both Andrews jinxed UP and my elfstruck SMP one)
show this effect. I'm quite sure that other bug reports against suspend/resume
about turning the system into a brick have the same root cause.
After fishing in the dark for quite some time, I realized that removing the ACPI
processor module before suspend (this removes the lower C-state functionality)
made the problem disappear. Interestingly enough the propability of having a
bricked box is influenced by various factors (interrupts, size of the ram image,
...). Even adding a bunch of printks in the wrong places made the problem go
away. The previous periodic tick implementation simply pampered over the
problem, which explains why the dyntick / clockevents changes made this more
prominent.
We avoid complex functionality during the boot process and we have to do the
same during suspend/resume. It is a similar scenario and equaly fragile.

Commit 4cf92a3c was submitted as a fix for bug #8686 at bugzilla.kernel.org
(http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8686). Unfortunately, the fix led to
a new bug, reported by Yoshifuji Hideaki, that prevented association for WEP
encrypted networks that use ifconfig to control the device. This patch effectively
reverts the earlier commit and does a proper fix for bug #8686.

Recent changes to sleep initialization in ACPI dropped reporting of supported Sx
states above S3. Fix that and also move S5 init into same file as other Sx.
The only functional change is adding printk() for S4 and S5 cases.

The ocfs2_vote_msg and ocfs2_response_msg structs needed to be
packed to ensure similar sizeofs in 32-bit and 64-bit arches. Without this,
we had inadvertantly broken 32/64 bit cross mounts.

ocfs2: Don't double set write parameters
The target page offsets were being incorrectly set a second time in
ocfs2_prepare_page_for_write(), which was causing problems on a 16k page
size kernel. Additionally, ocfs2_write_failure() was incorrectly using those
parameters instead of the parameters for the individual page being cleaned
up.

ocfs2: Fix pos/len passed to ocfs2_write_cluster
This was broken for file systems whose cluster size is greater than page
size. Pos needs to be incremented as we loop through the descriptors, and
len needs to be capped to the size of a single cluster.

ocfs2: Allow smaller allocations during large writes
The ocfs2 write code loops through a page much like the block code, except
that ocfs2 allocation units can be any size, including larger than page
size. Typically it's equal to or larger than page size - most kernels run 4k
pages, the minimum ocfs2 allocation (cluster) size.
Some changes introduced during 2.6.23 changed the way writes to pages are
handled, and inadvertantly broke support for > 4k page size. Instead of just
writing one cluster at a time, we now handle the whole page in one pass.
This means that multiple (small) seperate allocations might happen in the
same pass. The allocation code howver typically optimizes by getting the
maximum which was reserved. This triggered a BUG_ON in the extend code where
it'd ask for a single bit (for one part of a > 4k page) and get back more
than it asked for.
Fix this by providing a variant of the high level allocation function which
allows the caller to specify a maximum. The traditional function remains and
just calls the new one with a maximum determined from the initial
reservation.

This simplifies signalfd code, by avoiding it to remain attached to the
sighand during its lifetime.
In this way, the signalfd remain attached to the sighand only during
poll(2) (and select and epoll) and read(2). This also allows to remove
all the custom "tsk == current" checks in kernel/signal.c, since
dequeue_signal() will only be called by "current".
I think this is also what Ben was suggesting time ago.
The external effect of this, is that a thread can extract only its own
private signals and the group ones. I think this is an acceptable
behaviour, in that those are the signals the thread would be able to
fetch w/out signalfd.

rpc: fix garbage in printk in svc_tcp_accept()
we upgraded the kernel of a nfs-server from 2.6.17.11 to 2.6.22.6. Since
then we get the message
lockd: too many open TCP sockets, consider increasing the number of nfsd threads
lockd: last TCP connect from ^\\236^\É^D
These random characters in the second line are caused by a bug in
svc_tcp_accept.
(Note: there are two previous __svc_print_addr(sin, buf, sizeof(buf))
calls in this function, either of which would initialize buf correctly;
but both are inside "if"'s and are not necessarily executed. This is
less obvious in the second case, which is inside a dprintk(), which is a
macro which expands to an if statement.)
