[PATCH] ppc64 memory model depends on NUMA
Currently when we first select memory model (FLAT, DISCONTIG, SPARSE) then
select whether the machine is NUMA. However NUMA systems may not be FLAT.
This constraint it not honoured and we may configure a NUMA/FLAT system.
Reorder the configuration such that we choose NUMA first which allows us to
only list the memory models which are valid. We now default NUMA for known
NUMA systems. Note that this new order also matches that used in x86.

[PATCH] ppc64: change name of target file during make install
'make install' creates a /boot/zImage[.vmode] file when the defconfig is used.
It uses the second arg as file content, which is the vmlinux, and the 5th
arg as file name, which is the BOOTIMAGE name.
A comment in an earlier patch to install.sh states that yaboot can not load
a zImage+initrd combo. This was true in kernel 2.6.5 because it did use
bi_recs to pass the initrd info. But this concept was always broken.
Register r3 holds the initrd address and r4 holds the initrd size. This
works with all kernel versions. The current code in main.c leaves r3 and
r4 alone, so the kernel should be able to see and use the memory range with
the initrd content.
If one wants to rerun mkinitrd, it is currently hard to get the uname -r
value for the installed zImage. Without this info, mkinitrd can not know
what modules to use. This would be fixable by including the /proc/version
output of the new kernel. But it is simpler to just use the plain vmlinux.
So all this patch does is to write to /boot/vmlinux instead to /boot/zImage

[TCP]: Clear stale pred_flags when snd_wnd changes
This bug is responsible for causing the infamous "Treason uncloaked"
messages that's been popping up everywhere since the printk was added.
It has usually been blamed on foreign operating systems. However,
some of those reports implicate Linux as both systems are running
Linux or the TCP connection is going across the loopback interface.
In fact, there really is a bug in the Linux TCP header prediction code
that's been there since at least 2.1.8. This bug was tracked down with
help from Dale Blount.
The effect of this bug ranges from harmless "Treason uncloaked"
messages to hung/aborted TCP connections. The details of the bug
and fix is as follows.
When snd_wnd is updated, we only update pred_flags if
tcp_fast_path_check succeeds. When it fails (for example,
when our rcvbuf is used up), we will leave pred_flags with
an out-of-date snd_wnd value.
When the out-of-date pred_flags happens to match the next incoming
packet we will again hit the fast path and use the current snd_wnd
which will be wrong.
In the case of the treason messages, it just happens that the snd_wnd
cached in pred_flags is zero while tp->snd_wnd is non-zero. Therefore
when a zero-window packet comes in we incorrectly conclude that the
window is non-zero.
In fact if the peer continues to send us zero-window pure ACKs we
will continue making the same mistake. It's only when the peer
transmits a zero-window packet with data attached that we get a
chance to snap out of it. This is what triggers the treason
message at the next retransmit timeout.

64-bit area to save the fpscr, because we use load/store double
instructions to get it in to/out of the FPU. However, only the low
32-bits are actually used, so we want to treat it as a 32-bit quantity
when manipulating its bits to avoid extra load/stores on 32-bit. This
patch replaces the current definition with a structure of two 32-bit
quantities (pad and val), to clarify things as much as is possible.
The 'val' field is used when manipulating bits, the structure itself
is used when obtaining the address for loading/unloading the value
from the FPU.
While we're at it, consolidate the 4 (!) almost identical versions of
cvt_fd() and cvt_df() (arch/ppc/kernel/misc.S,
arch/ppc64/kernel/misc.S, arch/powerpc/kernel/misc_32.S,
arch/powerpc/kernel/misc_64.S) into a single version in fpu.S. The
new version takes a pointer to thread_struct and applies the correct
offset itself, rather than a pointer to the fpscr field itself, again
to avoid confusion as to which is the correct field to use.
Finally, this patch makes ARCH=ppc64 also use the consolidated fpu.S
code, which it previously did not.
Built for G5 (ARCH=ppc64 and ARCH=powerpc), 32-bit powermac (ARCH=ppc
and ARCH=powerpc) and Walnut (ARCH=ppc, CONFIG_MATH_EMULATION=y).
Booted on G5 (ARCH=powerpc) and things which previously fell over no
longer do.

powerpc: undeprecate the old OF device tree accessors for now
The recent addition of __deprecated to the declarations for
find_devices etc. produces a whole pile of warnings from the
ppc32 code. Since those functions still work perfectly well on
ppc32, which doesn't have hotplug support for anything in the
OF device tree, and we don't have time to fix that code now,
remove the __deprecated markings for now.

[PATCH] Fix cpu timers expiration time
There's a silly off-by-one error in the code that updates the expiration
of posix CPU timers, causing them to not be properly updated when they
hit exactly on their expiration time (which should be the normal case).
This causes them to then fire immediately again, and only _then_ get
properly updated.

[PATCH] Fix HFS+ to free up the space when a file is deleted.
fsck_hfs reveals lots of temporary files accumulating in the hidden
directory "\000\000\000HFS+ Private Data". According to the HFS+
documentation these are files which are unlinked while in use. However,
there may be a bug in the Linux hfsplus implementation which causes this to
happen even when the files are not in use. It looks like the "opencnt"
field is never initialized as (I think) it should be in hfsplus_read_inode.
This means that a file can appear to be still in use when in fact it has
been closed. This patch seems to fix it for me.

[PATCH] kill massive wireless-related log spam
Although this message is having the intended effect of causing wireless
driver maintainers to upgrade their code, I never should have merged this
patch in its present form. Leading to tons of bug reports and unhappy
users.
Some wireless apps poll for statistics regularly, which leads to a printk()
every single time they ask for stats. That's a little bit _too_ much of a
reminder that the driver is using an old API.
Change this to printing out the message once, per kernel boot.

[PATCH] ppc64: Fix wrong register mapping in mpic driver
The mpic interrupt controller driver (used on G5 and early pSeries among
others) has a bug where it doesn't get the right virtual address for the
timer registers. It causes the driver to poke at the MMIO space of
whatever has been mapped just next to it (ouch !) when initializing and
causes boot failures on some IBM machines.

[ARM] 3032/1: sparse: complains about generic_fls() prototype in asm-arm/bitops.h
Patch from Ian Campbell
Sparse complains about the definition of generic_fls in asm-arm/bitops.h:
CHECK /home/icampbell/devel/kernel/2.6/arch/arm/mach-pxa/viper.c
include2/asm/bitops.h:350:34: error: marked inline, but without a definition
The definition is unnecessary since linux/bitops.h defines generic_fls before including asm/bitops.h and asm/bitops.h should not be included directly. There are still some places where asm/bitops.h is directly included, but I think that code should be fixed. I was a little wary of the patch for this reason but lubbock, mainstone and assabet all build OK and so do my in house boards...
ARM is the only arch with the generic_fls prototype in this way.
