[NET] Fix too aggressive backoff in dst garbage collection
The bug is evident when it is seen once. dst gc timer was backed off,
when gc queue is not empty. But this means that timer quickly backs off,
if at least one destination remains in use. Normally, the bug is invisible,
because adding new dst entry to queue cancels the backoff. But it shots
deadly with destination cache overflow when new destinations are not released
for long time f.e. after an interface goes down.
The fix is to cancel backoff when something was released.

Tunnel modules used to obtain module refcount each time when
some tunnel was created, which meaned that tunnel could be unloaded
only after all the tunnels are deleted.
Since killing old MOD_*_USE_COUNT macros this protection has gone.
It is possible to return it back as module_get/put, but it looks
more natural and practically useful to force destruction of all
the child tunnels on module unload.

The patch adds boundary check for the MAX_GSI_NUM. Same as the update for
i386, the patch addresses a problem with ACPI SCI IRQ. The patch corrects
the code such that SCI IRQ is skipped and duplicate entry is avoided. The
VIA chipset uses 4-bit IRQ register for internal interrupt routing, and
therefore cannot handle IRQ numbers assigned to its devices. The patch
corrects this problem by allowing PCI IRQs below 16.

[PATCH] ppc32: fix 44x early serial debug for configurations with more than 512M of RAM
Fix 44x early serial debugging for big RAM configurations (more than 512M).
We cannot use default OpenBIOS virtual mapping, because it interferes with
pinned TLB entry.
While we are at it, move early UART mapping to TLB slot 0, so it can
survive longer during boot process (slot 1 is used by the first ioremap
call, effectively killing UART mapping if it occupies this slot). Also,
change UART TLB entry size to 4K (256M is too much for a bunch of registers
:). Squash some warnings on the way.
Tested on Ebony and Ocotea with 1G of RAM.

The patch addresses a problem with ACPI SCI interrupt entry, which gets
re-used, and the IRQ is assigned to another unrelated device. The patch
corrects the code such that SCI IRQ is skipped and duplicate entry is
avoided. Second issue came up with VIA chipset, the problem was caused by
original patch assigning IRQs starting 16 and up. The VIA chipset uses
4-bit IRQ register for internal interrupt routing, and therefore cannot
handle IRQ numbers assigned to its devices. The patch corrects this
problem by allowing PCI IRQs below 16.
sync_tsc was using smp_call_function to ask the boot processor to report
it's tsc value. smp_call_function performs an IPI_send_allbutself which is
a broadcast ipi. There is a window during processor startup during which
the target cpu has started and before it has initialized it's interrupt
vectors so it can properly process an interrupt. Receveing an interrupt
during that window will triple fault the cpu and do other nasty things.
Why cli does not protect us from that is beyond me.
The simple fix is to match ia64 and provide a smp_call_function_single.
Which avoids the broadcast and is more efficient.
This certainly fixes the problem of getting stuck on boot which was
very easy to trigger on my SMP Hyperthreaded Xeon, and I think
it fixes it for the right reasons.

(We found this (after a customer complained) and it is in the kernel.org
kernel. Seems that for CLOCK_MONOTONIC absolute timers and clock_nanosleep

the normalize resulting in an overflow in the existing normalize test.
This causes the result to be shifted ~4 seconds ahead instead of ~2 seconds

The normalize code in posix-timers.c fails when the tv_nsec member is ~1.2

clock_nanosleeps) requested on CLOCK_MONOTONIC (both the request time and
wall_to_monotonic are subtracted resulting in the possibility of a number
close to -2 seconds.)

Just a Kbuild subtlety, not listing a target file inside targets causes it
to be rebuilt each time, and as a consequence everything depending on it is
rebuilt.

[PATCH] uml: fix TT mode by reverting "use fork instead of clone"
With Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso <blaisorblade@yahoo.it>
Revert the following patch, because of miscompilation problems in different
environments leading to UML not working *at all* in TT mode; it was merged
lately in 2.6 development cycle, a little after being written, and has
caused problems to lots of people; I know it's a bit too long, but it
shouldn't have been merged in first place, so I still apply for inclusion
in the -stable tree. Anyone using this feature currently is either using
some older kernel (some reports even used 2.6.12-rc4-mm2) or using this
patch, as included in my -bs patchset.
For now there's not yet a fix for this patch, so for now the best thing is
to drop it (which was widely reported to give a working kernel, and as such
was even merged in -stable tree).
"Convert the boot-time host ptrace testing from clone to fork. They were
essentially doing fork anyway. This cleans up the code a bit, and makes
valgrind a bit happier about grinding it."

[PATCH] device-mapper: fix md->lock deadlocks in core
This patch is an attempt to fix deadlocks discovered in the core dm.
The problems boil down to md->lock having to be held in too many places, so
I've split it into two: md->suspend_lock and md->io_lock.
suspend_lock is now held throughout dm_suspended() as well as dm_resume()
and dm_swap_table() so that these functions cannot run concurrently:
there's no requirement for that and it added complexity.
[PATCH] x86_64: fix cpu_to_node setup for sparse apic_ids
While booting with SMT disabled in bios, when using acpi srat to setup
cpu_to_node[], sparse apic_ids create problems.
Without this patch, intel x86_64 boxes with hyperthreading disabled in the
bios (and which rely on srat for numa setup) endup having incorrect values in
cpu_to_node[] arrays, causing sched domains to be built incorrectly etc.
[PATCH] x86_64: Fix gcc 4 warning in sched_find_first_bit
This patch eliminates the GCC4 warning on the x86_64 platform:
kernel/sched.c:1824: warning: control may reach end of non-void function
'sched_find_first_bit' being inlined.
The change follows the lead of others, i.e. it is guaranteed that at least
one of b[0], b[1], or b[2] will have a bit set and evaluate to true. That
being said, GCC4.0.0 notices that the code flow does not return anything if
b[0], b[1] and b[2] are not true. Since we know better, if it's not b[0] or
b[1], it has to be b[2].
