  • Pull x86 cleanups from Peter Anvin:
    "The biggest textual change is the cleanup to use symbolic constants
    for x86 trap values.

    The only *functional* change and the reason for the x86/x32 dependency
    is the move of is_ia32_task() into so that it can
    be used in other code that needs to understand if a system call comes
    from the compat entry point (and therefore uses i386 system call
    numbers) or not. One intended user for that is the BPF system call
    filter. Moving it out of means we can define it
    unconditionally, returning always true on i386."

  • Pull x32 support for x86-64 from Ingo Molnar:
    "This tree introduces the X32 binary format and execution mode for x86:
    32-bit data space binaries using 64-bit instructions and 64-bit kernel
    syscalls.

    This allows applications whose working set fits into a 32 bits address
    space to make use of 64-bit instructions while using a 32-bit address
    space with shorter pointers, more compressed data structures, etc."

  • Pull "ARM: cleanups of io includes" from Olof Johansson:
    "Rob Herring has done a sweeping change cleaning up all of the
    mach/io.h includes, moving some of the oft-repeated macros to a common
    location and removing a bunch of boiler plate. This is another step
    closer to a common zImage for multiple platforms."

  • This reverts commit b43d17f319f2c502b17139d1cf70731b2b62c644.

    Dave Jones reports that it causes lockups on his laptop, and his debug
    output showed a lot of processes hung waiting for page_writeback (or
    more commonly - processes hung waiting for a lock that was held during
    that writeback wait).

    The page_writeback hint made Ted suggest that Dave look at this commit,
    and Dave verified that reverting it makes his problems go away.

    Ted says:
    "That commit fixes a race which is seen when you write into fallocated
    (and hence uninitialized) disk blocks under *very* heavy memory
    pressure. Furthermore, although theoretically it could trigger under
    normal direct I/O writes, it only seems to trigger if you are issuing
    a huge number of AIO writes, such that a just-written page can get
    evicted from memory, and then read back into memory, before the
    workqueue has a chance to update the extent tree.

    This race has been around for a little over a year, and no one noticed
    until two months ago; it only happens under fairly exotic conditions,
    and in fact even after trying very hard to create a simple repro under
    lab conditions, we could only reproduce the problem and confirm the
    fix on production servers running MySQL on very fast PCIe-attached
    flash devices.

    Given that Dave was able to hit this problem pretty quickly, if we
    confirm that this commit is at fault, the only reasonable thing to do
    is to revert it IMO."

  • Pull more ARM updates from Russell King.

    This got a fair number of conflicts with the split, but
    also with some other sparse-irq and header file include cleanups. They
    all looked pretty trivial, though.

  • Pull nfsd changes from Bruce Fields:

    Highlights:
    - Benny Halevy and Tigran Mkrtchyan implemented some more 4.1 features,
    moving us closer to a complete 4.1 implementation.
    - Bernd Schubert fixed a long-standing problem with readdir cookies on
    ext2/3/4.
    - Jeff Layton performed a long-overdue overhaul of the server reboot
    recovery code which will allow us to deprecate the current code (a
    rather unusual user of the vfs), and give us some needed flexibility
    for further improvements.
    - Like the client, we now support numeric uid's and gid's in the
    auth_sys case, allowing easier upgrades from NFSv2/v3 to v4.x.

    Plus miscellaneous bugfixes and cleanup.

    Thanks to everyone!

    There are also some delegation fixes waiting on vfs review that I
    suppose will have to wait for 3.5. With that done I think we'll finally
    turn off the "EXPERIMENTAL" dependency for v4 (though that's mostly
    symbolic as it's been on by default in distro's for a while).

    And the list of 4.1 todo's should be achievable for 3.5 as well:

    http://wiki.linux-nfs.org/wiki/index.php/Server_4.0_and_4.1_issues

    though we may still want a bit more experience with it before turning it
    on by default.

  • Pull x86 updates from Ingo Molnar.

    This touches some non-x86 files due to the sanitized INLINE_SPIN_UNLOCK
    config usage.

    Fixed up trivial conflicts due to just header include changes (removing
    headers due to cpu_idle() merge clashing with the split).

  • Fix this build error on ia64:

    In file included from include/linux/sched.h:92,
    from arch/ia64/kernel/asm-offsets.c:9:
    include/linux/llist.h:59:25: error: asm/cmpxchg.h: No such file or directory
    make[1]: *** [arch/ia64/kernel/asm-offsets.s] Error 1

    Right now we don't seem to need any actual contents for the
    asm/cmpxchg.h to make the build work ... so leave the migration of
    xchg() and cmpxchg() to this new header file for a future patch.

    Also process.c needs (for definition of pfm_syst_info).
