[PATCH] cfq-iosched: slice expiry fixups
During testing of SLES10, we encountered a hang in the CFQ io scheduler.
Turns out the deferred slice expiry logic is buggy, so remove that for
now. We could be left with an idle queue that would never wake up. So
kill that logic, always expire immediately. Also fix a potential timer
race condition.
Patch looks bigger than it is, because it moves a function.
Later we changed iSeries_hpte_insert to cope with the bolting case, and called
that instead from create_pte_mapping() (which was renamed to htab_bolt_mapping)
(3c726f8dee6f55e96475574e9f645327e461884c).
Unfortunately that change introduced a subtle bug, where we pass an absolute
address to iSeries_hpte_insert() where it expects a physical address. This
leads to us calling phys_to_abs() twice on the physical address, which is
seriously bogus.
This only causes a problem if the absolute address from the first translation
can be looked up again in the chunk_map, which depends on the size and layout
of memory. I've seen it fail on one box, but not others.
The minimal fix is to pass the physical address to iSeries_hpte_insert(). For

address.

[PATCH] x86_64: Better ATI timer fix
The previous experiment for using apicmaintimer on ATI systems didn't
work out very well. In particular laptops with C2/C3 support often
don't let it tick during idle, which makes it useless. There were also
some other bugs that made the apicmaintimer often not used at all.
I tried some other experiments - running timer over RTC and some other
things but they didn't really work well neither.
I rechecked the specs now and it turns out this simple change is
actually enough to avoid the double ticks on the ATI systems. We just
turn off IRQ 0 in the 8254 and only route it directly using the IO-APIC.
I tested it on a few ATI systems and it worked there. In fact it worked
on all chipsets (NVidia, Intel, AMD, ATI) I tried it on.
According to the ACPI spec routing should always work through the
IO-APIC so I think it's the correct thing to do anyways (and most of the
old gunk in check_timer should be thrown away for x86-64).
But for 2.6.16 it's best to do a fairly minimal change:
- Use the known to be working everywhere-but-ATI IRQ0 both over 8254
and IO-APIC setup everywhere
- Except on ATI disable IRQ0 in the 8254
- Remove the code to select apicmaintimer on ATI chipsets
- Add some boot options to allow to override this (just paranoia)
In 2.6.17 I hope to switch the default over to this for everybody.

targets for the migration of a list of pages out of place.
When the pages are allocated it is not clear which of the out of place
pages will be moved to the new pages. So we cannot specify an address as
needed by alloc_page_vma(). This causes problem for MPOL_INTERLEAVE which
will currently allocate the pages on the first node of the set. If mbind

interleaving of pages may be destroyed.
This patch fixes that by generating a fake address for each alloc_page_vma
which will result is a distribution of pages as prescribed by
MPOL_INTERLEAVE.

[PATCH] cfi: init wait queue in chip struct
Fix a kernel oops for Intel P30 flashes, where the wait queue head was not
initialized for the flchip struct, which in turn caused a crash at the
first read operation.

[PATCH] Kprobes causes NX protection fault on i686 SMP
Fix a problem seen on i686 machine with NX support where the instruction
could not be single stepped because of NX bit set on the memory pages
allocated by kprobes module. This patch provides allocation of instruction
solt so that the processor can execute the instruction from that location
similar to x86_64 architecture. Thanks to Bibo and Masami for testing this
patch.

[PATCH] vgacon: no vertical resizing on EGA
EGA boards suck: they mostly have write-only registers. This is
particularly problematic for the overflow register: for being able to write
to it, we would have to handle vertical sync & such too, which (I'd say)
would potentially break a lot of configurations. Instead, just disabling
vertical resize for EGA boards is just nice enough (horizontal resize still
works).
Improve (especially for coherence) some prototypes, and return code of
init_cow_file in error case - for a short write return -EINVAL, otherwise
return the error we got!

[PATCH] uml: better error reporting for read_output
Do precise error handling: print precise error messages, distinguishing short
reads and read errors. This functions fails frequently enough for me so I
bothered doing this fix.
