Fixup bitops.h to use volatile for *_bit() ops

In a nutshell:
*_bit() want use of volatile.
__*_bit() are "relaxed" and don't use spinlock or volatile.
other minor changes:
o replaces hweight64() macro with alias to generic_hweight64() (Joel Soete)
o cleanup ext2* macros so (a) it's obvious what the XOR magic is about
and (b) one version that works for both 32/64-bit.

2.6.14-rc2-pa2 - make SBA more anal about invalidating pdir entries

the write happened to hit the SBA before the cacheline was flushed

When I originally moved exit_itimers into __exit_signal, that was the only
place where we could reliably know it was the last thread in the group

counter, and do_exit can reliably do group-wide cleanup work.
This patch moves the call to do_exit, where it's made without locks. This
avoids the deadlock issues that the old __exit_signal code's comment talks
about, and the one that Oleg found recently with process CPU timers.
AMD recently discovered that on some hardware, there is a race condition
possible when a C-state change request goes onto the bus at the same
time as a P-state change request.
Both requests happen, but the southbridge hardware only acknowledges the
C-state change. The PowerNow! driver is then stuck in a loop, waiting
for the P-state change acknowledgement. The driver eventually times
out, but can no longer perform P-state changes.
It turns out the solution is to resend the P-state change, which the
southbridge will acknowledge normally.

The code calls __hash_page() passing it an "access" parameter (the type
of access that triggers the hash) containing the bits _PAGE_RW and
_PAGE_USER of the linux PTE. The latter is useless in this case and the
former is wrong. In fact, if we have a writeable PTE and we pass
_PAGE_RW to hash_page(), it will set _PAGE_DIRTY (since we track dirty
that way, by hash faulting !dirty) which is not what we want.
In fact, the correct fix is to always pass 0. That means that only
read-only or already dirty read write PTEs will be preloaded. The
(hopefully rare) case of a non dirty read write PTE can't be preloaded
this way, it will have to fault in hash_page on the actual access.

process name wrong. This fixes it.
2/ The recent change to use kthreads lost the ability for
md threads to be signalled with SIG_KILL. This restores that.
3/ There is a long standing bug in that if:
- An array needs recovery (onto a hot-spare) and
- The recovery is being blocked because some other array being
recovered shares a physical device and
- The recovery thread is killed with SIG_KILL
Then the recovery will appear to have completed with no IO being
done, which can cause data corruption.
This patch makes sure that incomplete recovery will be treated as
incomplete.
Note that any kernel affected by bug 2 will not suffer the problem of bug
3, as the signal can never be delivered. Thus the current 2.6.14-rc
kernels are not susceptible to data corruption. Note also that if arrays
are shutdown (with "mdadm -S" or "raidstop") then the problem doesn't
occur. It only happens if a SIGKILL is independently delivered as done by
'init' when shutting down.

[PATCH] Fix cpu timers exit deadlock and races
Oleg Nesterov reported an SMP deadlock. If there is a running timer
tracking a different process's CPU time clock when the process owning
the timer exits, we deadlock on tasklist_lock in posix_cpu_timer_del via
exit_itimers.
That code was using tasklist_lock to check for a race with __exit_signal
being called on the timer-target task and clearing its ->signal.
However, there is actually no such race. __exit_signal will have called
posix_cpu_timers_exit and posix_cpu_timers_exit_group before it does
that. Those will clear those k_itimer's association with the dying
task, so posix_cpu_timer_del will return early and never reach the code
in question.
In addition, posix_cpu_timer_del called from exit_itimers during execve
or directly from timer_delete in the process owning the timer can race
with an exiting timer-target task to cause a double put on timer-target
task struct. Make sure we always access cpu_timers lists with sighand

I'm using the Vesa FB driver. When the machine has been idle for some

vesafb recently added a blank method which has only 2 states, powerup and
powerdown. The powerdown state is used for all blanking levels, but in his
case, powerdown does not work correctly for higher levels of display
powersaving. Thus, for intermediate power levels, use software blanking,
and use only hardware blanking for an explicit powerdown.

[PATCH] USB: fix bug in handling of highspeed usb HID devices
During the development of an USB device I found a bug in the handling of
Highspeed HID devices in the kernel.
What happened?
Highspeed HID devices are correctly recognized and enumerated by the
kernel. But even if usbhid kernel module is loaded, no HID reports are
received by the kernel.
The output of the hardware USB analyzer told me that the host doesn't
even poll for interrupt IN transfers (even the "interrupt in" USB
transfer are polled by the host).
After some debugging in hid-core.c I've found the reason.
In case of a highspeed device, the endpoint interval is re-calculated in
driver/usb/input/hid-core.c:
Because of this the value of urb->interval is sometimes negative and is
rejected in core/urb.c:
line 353:
/* too small? */
if (urb->interval <= 0)
return -EINVAL;
The conclusion is, that the recalculaton of the interval (which is
necessary for highspeed) should not be made twice, because this is
simply wrong. ;-)
Re-calculation in usb_fill_int_urb makes more sense, because it is the
most general approach. So it would make sense to remove it from
hid-core.c.
Because in hid-core.c the interval variable is only used for calling
usb_fill_int_urb, it is no problem to remove the highspeed
re-calculation in this file.

[PATCH] SVGATextMode fix
Fix bug 5441.
I didn't know about messy programs like svgatextmode... Couldn't this be
integrated in some linux/drivers/video/console/svgacon.c ?... So because
of the existence of the svgatextmode program, the kernel is not supposed to
touch to CRT_OVERFLOW/SYNC_END/DISP/DISP_END/OFFSET ?
Disabling the check in vgacon_resize() might help indeed, but I'm really
not sure whether it will work for any chipset: in my patch, CRT registers
are set at each console switch, since stty rows/cols apply to consoles
separately...
The attached solution is to keep the test, but if it fails, we assume that
the caller knows what it does (i.e. it is svgatextmode) and then disable
any further call to vgacon_doresize. Svgatextmode is usually used to
_expand_ the display, not to shrink it. And it is harmless in the case of
a too big stty rows/cols: the display will just be cropped. I tested it on
my laptop, and it works fine with svgatextmode.
A better solution would be that svgatextmode explicitely tells the kernel
not to care about video timing, but for this an interface needs be defined
and svgatextmode be patched.
