more/less data per page so that the alignment of the next entry
changes). We should therefore remove the condition that we only do this on

Correct hash flushing from huge_ptep_set_wrprotect()
As Andy Whitcroft recently pointed out, the current powerpc version of
huge_ptep_set_wrprotect() has a bug. It just calls ptep_set_wrprotect()
which in turn calls pte_update() then hpte_need_flush() with the 'huge'
argument set to 0. This will cause hpte_need_flush() to flush the wrong
hash entries (of any). Andy's fix for this is already in the powerpc
tree as commit 016b33c4958681c24056abed8ec95844a0da80a3.
I have confirmed this is a real bug, not masked by some other
synchronization, with a new testcase for libhugetlbfs. A process write
a (MAP_PRIVATE) hugepage mapping, fork(), then alter the mapping and
have the child incorrectly see the second write.
Therefore, this should be fixed for 2.6.26, and for the stable tree.
Here is a suitable patch for 2.6.26, which I think will also be suitable
for the stable tree (neither of the headers in question has been changed
much recently).
It is cut down slighlty from Andy's original version, in that it does
not include a 32-bit version of huge_ptep_set_wrprotect(). Currently,
hugepages are not supported on any 32-bit powerpc platform. When they
are, a suitable 32-bit version can be added - the only 32-bit hardware
which supports hugepages does not use the conventional hashtable MMU and
so will have different needs anyway.

vsprintf: add support for '%pS' and '%pF' pointer formats
They print out a pointer in symbolic format, if possible (ie using
symbolic KALLSYMS information). The '%pS' format is for regular direct
pointers (which can point to data or code and that you find on the stack
during backtraces etc), while '%pF' is for C function pointer types.
On most architectures, the two mean exactly the same thing, but some
architectures use an indirect pointer for C function pointers, where the
function pointer points to a function descriptor (which in turn contains
the actual pointer to the code). The '%pF' code automatically does the
appropriate function descriptor dereference on such architectures.
vsprintf: add infrastructure support for extended '%p' specifiers
This expands the kernel '%p' handling with an arbitrary alphanumberic
specifier extension string immediately following the '%p'. Right now
it's just being ignored, but the next commit will start adding some
specific pointer type extensions.
NOTE! The reason the extension is appended to the '%p' is to allow
minimal gcc type checking: gcc will still see the '%p' and will check
that the argument passed in is indeed a pointer, and yet will not
complain about the extended information that gcc doesn't understand
about (on the other hand, it also won't actually check that the pointer
type and the extension are compatible).
Alphanumeric characters were chosen because there is no sane existing
use for a string format with a hex pointer representation immediately
followed by alphanumerics (which is what such a format string would have
traditionally resulted in).
The actual code is the same, just split out into a helper function.
This makes it easier to read, and allows for simple future extension
of %p handling.

KVM: IOAPIC: Fix level-triggered irq injection hang
The "remote_irr" variable is used to indicate an interrupt
which has been received by the LAPIC, but not acked.
In our EOI handler, we unset remote_irr and re-inject the
interrupt if the interrupt line is still asserted.
However, we do not set remote_irr here, leading to a
situation where if kvm_ioapic_set_irq() is called, then we go
ahead and call ioapic_service(). This means that IRR is
re-asserted even though the interrupt is currently in service
(i.e. LAPIC IRR is cleared and ISR/TMR set)
The issue with this is that when the currently executing
interrupt handler finishes and writes LAPIC EOI, then TMR is
unset and EOI sent to the IOAPIC. Since IRR is now asserted,
but TMR is not, then when the second interrupt is handled,
no EOI is sent and if there is any pending interrupt, it is
not re-injected.

Most Smart Array controllers can support up to 1024 commands, the notable

The next generation of controllers which were just added support a mode of

64 outstanding commands. In Full Function Raid (FFR) mode they support
1024.
We have been setting the queue depth by arbitrarily assigning some value
for each controller. We needed a better way to set the queue depth to
avoid lots of annoying "fifo full" messages. So we made the driver a
little smarter. We now read the config table and subtract 4 from the

not tracked the same way as io commands are tracked.

Alpha Linux kernel fails with inconsistent kallsyms data
The build of the Alpha Linux kernel currently fails[1] with inconsistent
kallsyms data. As I never saw that before, I thought about hardware
problems. But in fact it is a bug in the Linux kernel.
The end of the rodata section is marked with the "__end_rodata" symbol.
This symbol have different aligning constraints than the inittext parts
and therefor the start marked "_sinittext". Because of that the
__end_rodata symbol shifts between < _sinittext and == _sinittext. The
later variant is seen as a code symbol and recorded in the kallsyms data.
On fix would be to move the exception table a little bit and get some
space between that two areas.

The filesystem capability support meaning for CAP_SETPCAP is less powerful
than the non-filesystem capability support. As such, when filesystem
capabilities are configured, we should not permit CAP_SETPCAP to 'enhance'
the current process through strace manipulation of a child process.

This commit includes a bugfix for the fragile setuid fixup code in the
case that filesystem capabilities are supported (in access()). The effect
of this fix is gated on filesystem capability support because changing
securebits is only supported when filesystem capabilities support is
configured.)

This got broken by the recent "fix rmmod $spi_driver while spidev-user is
active". I tested the rmmod & write path but didn't check the read path.
I am sorry. The read logic changed and spidev_sync_read() +
spidev_sync_write() do not return zero on success anymore but the number
of bytes that has been transfered over the bus. This patch changes the
logic and copy_to_user() gets called again.
The write path returns the number of bytes which are written to the
underlying device what may be less than the requested size. This patch
makes the same change to the read path or else we request a read of 20
bytes, get 10, don't call copy to user and report to the user that we read
10 bytes.

man-pages is supported
Starting last month, I reached a long-time goal: man-pages finally has a
paid, full-time maintainer, thanks to a fellowship from the Linux
Foundation. It's still a little unclear how long the LF money will last
for the fellowship, but for the foreseeable future, I'll be working on:
* Properly documenting every new Linux kernel-userland (and glibc) API,
and every API change, that is released into the mainline kernel, ideally
before actual release. (That's the ideal, but there's a quite a
backlog, so I'm not going to achieve the ideal immediately.)
* Testing new APIs, again ideally before they are released into the
mainline kernel, and probably doing some light bug fixing while I'm at
it (e.g., the recent utimensat() work).
* Design review of new APIs, which of course can only usefully be done
before they are released into the mainline kernel.
* And of course accepting patches and dealing with bug reports for
existing man pages.

In linux-next there is a commit ("rcu: split list.h and move rcu-protected
lists into rculist.h") that moved the rcu related list iterators from
list.h to rculist.h. Add a trivial version of the file now so that
various subsystem trees can start using it now for -next changes and so
reduce the build errors caused by adding uses of the moved functions.

Also, some sparse fixes: make two functions static, and use NULL where
appropriate. There are still a lot of sparse warnings, mainly wrt absence
of __iomem annotations, but some will require ugly __force stuff. I'll leave
them for now, since proper fix would be not that trivial as few one-liners

Commit 95b570c9cef3b12356454c7112571b7e406b4b51 ("Taint kernel after
WARN_ON(condition)") introduced a TAINT_WARN that was implemented for
all architectures using the generic warn_on_slowpath(), which excluded
any architecture that set HAVE_ARCH_WARN_ON.
As all of the architectures that implement their own WARN_ON() all go
through the report_bug() path (specifically handling BUG_TRAP_TYPE_WARN),
taint the kernel there as well for consistency.
Tested on avr32 and sh. Also relevant for s390, parisc, and powerpc.
