[libata] sata_mv: errata check buglet fix
Fix a buglet; the errata check below this code is assuming the value in
the sstatus variable is what was pulled out of the SCR_STATUS register.
However, the status checks in the timeout loop clobber everything
but the first 4 bits of sstatus, so the errata checks are invalid.
This patch changes it to not clobber SStatus.

[SERIAL] 8250: constify some serial structs
[SERIAL] Make uart_match_port() work with all memory mapped UARTs
[PATCH] eligible_child: remove an obsolete ->tgid check
It is not possible to find a sub-thread in ->children/->ptrace_children
lists, ptrace_attach() does not allow to attach to sub-threads.
Even if it was possible to ptrace the task from the same thread group,
we can't allow to release ->group_leader while there are others (ptracer)
threads in the same group.
Resolve ARM1136 VIPT non-aliasing cache coherency issues observed when
using ptrace to set breakpoints and cleanup copy_{to,from}_user_page()
while we're here as requested by Russell King because "it's also far
too heavy on non-v6 CPUs".
NOTES:
1. Only access_process_vm() calls copy_{to,from}_user_page().
2. access_process_vm() calls get_user_pages() to pin down the "page".
3. get_user_pages() calls flush_dcache_page(page) which ensures cache
coherency between kernel and userspace mappings of "page". However
flush_dcache_page(page) may not invalidate I-Cache over this range
for all cases, specifically, I-Cache is not invalidated for the VIPT
non-aliasing case. So memory is consistent between kernel and user
space mappings of "page" but I-Cache may still be hot over this
range. IOW, we don't have to worry about flush_cache_page() before
memcpy().
4. Now, for the copy_to_user_page() case, after memcpy(), we must flush
the caches so memory is consistent with kernel cache entries and
invalidate the I-Cache if this mm region is executable. We don't
need to do anything after memcpy() for the copy_from_user_page()
case since kernel cache entries will be invalidated via the same
process above if we access "page" again. The flush_ptrace_access()
function (borrowed from SPARC64 implementation) is added to handle
cache flushing after memcpy() for the copy_to_user_page() case.

Since vma->vm_pgoff is in units of smallpages, VMAs for huge pages have the
lower HPAGE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT bits always cleared, which results in badd
offsets to the interleave functions. Take this difference from small pages
into account when calculating the offset. This does add a 0-bit shift into
the small-page path (via alloc_page_vma()), but I think that is negligible.
Also add a BUG_ON to prevent the offset from growing due to a negative
right-shift, which probably shouldn't be allowed anyways.
Tested on an 8-memory node ppc64 NUMA box and got the interleaving I
expected.

Cleanup allocation and freeing of tsk->delays used by delay accounting.
This solves two problems reported for delay accounting:
1. oops in __delayacct_blkio_ticks
http://www.uwsg.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0608.2/1844.html
Currently tsk->delays is getting freed too early in task exit which can
cause a NULL tsk->delays to get accessed via reading of /proc/<tgid>/stats.
The patch fixes this problem by freeing tsk->delays closer to when
task_struct itself is freed up. As a result, it also eliminates the use of
tsk->delays_lock which was only being used (inadequately) to safeguard
access to tsk->delays while a task was exiting.
2. Possible memory leak in kernel/delayacct.c

tested with rapid calls to delay accounting's taskstats command interface
(which is the other path that can access the same data, besides the /proc
interface causing the oops above).

[PATCH] ZVC: Scale thresholds depending on the size of the system
The ZVC counter update threshold is currently set to a fixed value of 32.
This patch sets up the threshold depending on the number of processors and
the sizes of the zones in the system.
With the current threshold of 32, I was able to observe slight contention
when more than 130-140 processors concurrently updated the counters. The
contention vanished when I either increased the threshold to 64 or used
Andrew's idea of overstepping the interval (see ZVC overstep patch).
However, we saw contention again at 220-230 processors. So we need higher
values for larger systems.
But the current default is already a bit of an overkill for smaller
systems. Some systems have tiny zones where precision matters. For
example i386 and x86_64 have 16M DMA zones and either 900M ZONE_NORMAL or
ZONE_DMA32. These are even present on SMP and NUMA systems.
The patch here sets up a threshold based on the number of processors in the
system and the size of the zone that these counters are used for. The
threshold should grow logarithmically, so we use fls() as an easy
approximation.
Results of tests on a system with 1024 processors (4TB RAM)
The following output is from a test allocating 1GB of memory concurrently
on each processor (Forking the process. So contention on mmap_sem and the
pte locks is not a factor):
Increments and decrements are usually grouped rather than mixed. We can
optimize the inc and dec functions for that case.
Increment and decrement the counters by 50% more than the threshold in
those cases and set the differential accordingly. This decreases the need
to update the atomic counters.
The idea came originally from Andrew Morton. The overstepping alone was
sufficient to address the contention issue found when updating the global
and the per zone counters from 160 processors.
Also remove some code in dec_zone_page_state.

Further, the stack pointer retrieval for the fallback should be as
restrictive as possible (in order to avoid having the legacy stack
tracer try to access invalid memory). The patch tightens that, but
this could certainly be further improved.
Also making the call_trace command line option now conditional upon
CONFIG_STACK_UNWIND (as it's meaningless otherwise).

[PATCH] x86: Revert e820 MCFG heuristics
The check for the MCFG table being reserved in the e820 map was originally
added to detect a broken BIOS in a preproduction Intel SDV. However it also
breaks the Apple x86 Macs, which can't supply this properly, but need
a working MCFG. With this patch they wouldn't use the MCFG and not work.
After some discussion I think it's best to remove the heuristic again.
It also failed on some other boxes (although it didn't cause much
problems there because old style port access for PCI config space
still works as fallback), but the preproduction SDVs can just use
pci=nommcfg. Supporting production machines properly is more
important.

[POWERPC] Fix problem with time not advancing on 32-bit platforms
This fixes a problem introduced in 5db9fa9593e2ff69f2b95f9d59229dc4faaa564d.
The last_jiffy per-cpu variable is only 32 bits on 32-bit machines, but it
was being compared with a 64-bit quantity (tb_next_jiffy), which resulted in
time not advancing.
This fixes it by changing last_jiffy to be 64 bits on all platforms. With
this, we no longer need tb_last_stamp as a 32-bit version of tb_last_jiffy,
so this gets rid of tb_last_stamp and we just use tb_last_jiffy instead.
This also fixes a bug when the boot cpu is not online, because using
tb_last_stamp could have caused the wrong timebase origin value to be used
when calculating the time of day.

This introduces CONFIG_MPIC_WEIRD. For boards with non standard mpic

Unlike the hugetlb code paths, the normal fault code is not setup to
propagate PTE changes for large page sizes correctly like the ones we
make for I/O mappings in io_remap_pfn_range().
It is absolutely necessary to update all sub-ptes of a largepage
mapping on a fault. Adding special handling for this would add
considerably complexity to tlb_batch_add(). So let's just side-step
the issue and forcefully dirty any writable PTEs created by
io_remap_pfn_range().
The only other real option would be to disable to large PTE code of
io_remap_pfn_range() and we really don't want to do that.

entities which are not IPv6 routers and therefore
do not forward datagrams, this counter includes
datagrams discarded because the destination address
was not a local address."
