cciss: remove READ_AHEAD define and use block layer defaults
This patch removes the #define READ_AHEAD 1024 from the driver and uses the
block layer defaults, instead. We have found that under certain workloads
the setting can cause a disk connected to the e200 controller to go offline.
If the disk hiccups the link may try to downshift but the controller is
never notified that the link successfully completed the renegotiation.
We've also found that performance using the block layer default of 32 pages
was on par with the 1024 setting. We tried setting it to zero at one time
based on info from our firmware guys but that killed performance. Turns out
we were talking about 2 different read ahead settings.

Allow ARG_MAX execve string space even with a small stack limit
The new code that removed the limitation on the execve string size
(which was historically 32 pages) replaced it with a much softer limit
based on RLIMIT_STACK which is usually much larger than the traditional
limit. See commit b6a2fea39318e43fee84fa7b0b90d68bed92d2ba ("mm:
variable length argument support") for details.
However, if you have a small stack limit (perhaps because you need lots
of stacks in a threaded environment), the new heuristic of allowing up
to 1/4th of RLIMIT_STACK to be used for argument and environment strings
could actually be smaller than the old limit.
So just say that it's ok to have up to ARG_MAX strings regardless of the
value of RLIMIT_STACK, and check the rlimit only when going over that
traditional limit.
(Of course, if you actually have a *really* small stack limit, the whole
stack itself will be limited before you hit ARG_MAX, but that has always
been true and is clearly the right behaviour anyway).

[RFC] AUDIT: do not panic when printk loses messages
On the latest kernels if one was to load about 15 rules, set the failure
state to panic, and then run service auditd stop the kernel will panic.
This is because auditd stops, then the script deletes all of the rules.
These deletions are sent as audit messages out of the printk kernel
interface which is already known to be lossy. These will overun the
default kernel rate limiting (10 really fast messages) and will call
audit_panic(). The same effect can happen if a slew of avc's come
through while auditd is stopped.
This can be fixed a number of ways but this patch fixes the problem by
just not panicing if auditd is not running. We know printk is lossy and
if the user chooses to set the failure mode to panic and tries to use
printk we can't make any promises no matter how hard we try, so why try?
At least in this way we continue to get lost message accounting and will
eventually know that things went bad.
The other change is to add a new call to audit_log_lost() if auditd
disappears. We already pulled the skb off the queue and couldn't send
it so that message is lost. At least this way we will account for the
last message and panic if the machine is configured to panic. This code
path should only be run if auditd dies for unforeseen reasons. If
auditd closes correctly audit_pid will get set to 0 and we won't walk
this code path.

pointing to the following byte sequence:

because of implicit u8 -> int promotion in ARM's implementation of
various helpers for get_unaligned(), causing them to accidentally
return signed instead of unsigned values, which in turn caused the
subsequent casts to unsigned long long in __get_unaligned_8_[bl]e()

rcupreempt: fix hibernate/resume in presence of PREEMPT_RCU and hotplug
This fixes a oops encountered when doing hibernate/resume in presence of
PREEMPT_RCU.
The problem was that the code failed to disable preemption when
accessing a per-CPU variable. This is OK when called from code that
already has preemption disabled, but such is not the case from the
suspend/resume code path.

x86 ptrace: fix ptrace_bts_config structure declaration
The 2.6.25 ptrace_bts_config structure in asm-x86/ptrace-abi.h
is defined with u32 types:
#include <asm/types.h>
/* configuration/status structure used in PTRACE_BTS_CONFIG and
PTRACE_BTS_STATUS commands.
*/
struct ptrace_bts_config {
/* requested or actual size of BTS buffer in bytes */
u32 size;
/* bitmask of below flags */
u32 flags;
/* buffer overflow signal */
u32 signal;
/* actual size of bts_struct in bytes */
u32 bts_size;
};
#endif
But u32 is only accessible in asm-x86/types.h if __KERNEL__,
leading to compile errors when ptrace.h is included from
user-space. The double-underscore versions that are exported
to user-space in asm-x86/types.h should be used instead.

x86: CPA: avoid split of alias mappings
avoid over-eager large page splitup.
When the target area needs to be split or is split already (ioremap)
then the current code enforces the split of large mappings in the alias
regions even if we could avoid it.
Use a separate variable processed in the cpa_data structure to carry
the number of pages which have been processed instead of reusing the
numpages variable. This keeps numpages intact and gives the alias code
a chance to keep large mappings intact.

x86 vdso: fix build locale dependency
Priit Laes discovered that the sed command processing nm output was
sensitive to locale settings. This was addressed in commit 03994f01e8b72b3d01fd3d09d1cc7c9f421a727c by using [:alnum:] in place of
[a-zA-Z0-9].
But that solution too is locale-dependent and may not always match
the identifiers it needs to. The better fix is just to run sed et al
with a fixed locale setting in all builds.

x86: fix pmd_bad and pud_bad to support huge pages
I recently stumbled upon a problem in the support for huge pages. If a
program using huge pages does not explicitly unmap them, they remain
mapped (and therefore, are lost) after the program exits.
I observed that the free huge page count in /proc/meminfo decreased when
running my program, and it did not increase after the program exited.
After running the program a few times, no more huge pages could be
allocated.
The reason for this seems to be that the x86 pmd_bad and pud_bad
consider pmd/pud entries having the PSE bit set invalid. I think there
is nothing wrong with this bit being set, it just indicates that the
lowest level of translation has been reached. This bit has to be (and
is) checked after the basic validity of the entry has been checked, like
in this fragment from follow_page() in mm/memory.c:
if (pmd_none(*pmd) || unlikely(pmd_bad(*pmd)))
goto no_page_table;
Note that this code currently doesn't work as intended if the pmd refers
to a huge page, the pmd_huge() check can not be reached if the page is
huge.
Extending pmd_bad() (and, for future 1GB page support, pud_bad()) to
allow for the PSE bit being set fixes this. For similar reasons,
allowing the NX bit being set is necessary, too. I have seen huge pages
having the NX bit set in their pmd entry, which would cause the same
problem.

x86: tls prevent_tail_call
Fix a kernel bug (vmware boot problem) reported by Tomasz Grobelny,
which occurs with certain .config variants and gccs.
The x86 TLS cleanup in commit efd1ca52d04d2f6df337a3332cee56cd60e6d4c4
made the sys_set_thread_area and sys_get_thread_area functions ripe for
tail call optimization. If the compiler chooses to use it for them, it
can clobber the user trap frame because these are asmlinkage functions.

The PREEMPT-RCU can get stuck if a CPU goes idle and NO_HZ is set. The

This patch comes from the -rt kernel where it has been tested for
