include/asm-powerpc/elf.h has 6 entries in ARCH_DLINFO. fs/binfmt_elf.c
has 14 unconditional NEW_AUX_ENT entries and 2 conditional NEW_AUX_ENT
entries. So in the worst case, saved_auxv does not get an AT_NULL entry at
the end.The saved_auxv array must be terminated with an AT_NULL entry. Make the
size of mm_struct->saved_auxv arch dependend, based on the number of
ARCH_DLINFO entries.Signed-off-by: Olaf Hering

dma_cache_(wback|inv|wback_inv) were the earliest attempt on a generalized
cache managment API for I/O purposes. Originally it was basically the raw
MIPS low level cache API exported to the entire world. The API has
suffered from a lack of documentation, was not very widely used unlike it's
more modern brothers and can easily be replaced by dma_cache_sync. So
remove it rsp. turn the surviving bits back into an arch private API, as
discussed on linux-arch.Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle

Introduced a consistent style in vmlinux.lds and it now matches the
soon-to-be common style for all arch's vmlinux.lds files.In addition:
- Replaced hardcoded constant with PAGE_SIZE
- Fix page.h so PAGE_SIZE can be used from assembler and in lds files
- Move a few labels inside brackets so linker alignment will not
make label point ot a too low address
- Replaced DWARF and STABS sections with definitions from asm-genericSigned-off-by: Sam Ravnborg

This patch converts alpha to the generic sys_ptrace. We use

It is often known at allocation time whether a page may be migrated or not.
This patch adds a flag called __GFP_MOVABLE and a new mask called
GFP_HIGH_MOVABLE. Allocations using the __GFP_MOVABLE can be either migrated
using the page migration mechanism or reclaimed by syncing with backing
storage and discarding.An API function very similar to alloc_zeroed_user_highpage() is added for
__GFP_MOVABLE allocations called alloc_zeroed_user_highpage_movable(). The
flags used by alloc_zeroed_user_highpage() are not changed because it would
change the semantics of an existing API. After this patch is applied there
are no in-kernel users of alloc_zeroed_user_highpage() so it probably should
be marked deprecated if this patch is merged.Note that this patch includes a minor cleanup to the use of __GFP_ZERO in
shmem.c to keep all flag modifications to inode->mapping in the
shmem_dir_alloc() helper function. This clean-up suggestion is courtesy of
Hugh Dickens.Additional credit goes to Christoph Lameter and Linus Torvalds for shaping the
concept. Credit to Hugh Dickens for catching issues with shmem swap vector
and ramfs allocations.[akpm@linux-foundation.org: build fix]

isa_bus_to_virt() is still needed in a few places (lance.c, at least). When
we switch the kernel to using -Werror-implicit-function-declaration, the lack
of isa_bus_to_virt() breaks alpha allmodconfig builds.Add isa_bus_to_virt() and deprecate the ezisting ISA APIs, though it might be
better to define these functions as BUG(), since virt_to_bus/bus_to_virt just
do wrong things on a number of machines.[akpm@linux-foundation.org: build fix]

This code replaces earlier and incomplete handling of graphics on non-zero PCI
domains (aka hoses or peer PCI buses).An option (CONFIG_VGA_HOSE) is set TRUE if configuring a GENERIC kernel, or a
kernel for MARVEL, TITAN, or TSUNAMI machines, as these are the machines whose
SRM consoles are capable of configuring and handling graphics options on
non-zero hoses. All other machines have the option set FALSE.A routine, "find_console_vga_hose()", is used to find the graphics device
which the machine's firmware believes is the console device, and it sets a
global (pci_vga_hose) for later use in managing access to the device. This is
called in "init_arch" on TITAN and TSUNAMI machines; MARVEL machines use a
custom version of this routine because of extra complexity.A routine, "locate_and_init_vga()", is used to find the graphics device and
set a global (pci_vga_hose) for later use in managing access to the device, in
the case where "find_console_vga_hose" has failed.Various adjustments are made to the ioremap and ioportmap routines for
detecting and translating "legacy" VGA register and memory references to the
real PCI domain.[akpm@linux-foundation.org: don't statically init bss]

This finally renames the thread_info field in task structure to stack, so that
the assumptions about this field are gone and archs have more freedom about
placing the thread_info structure.Nonbroken archs which have a proper thread pointer can do the access to both
current thread and task structure via a single pointer.It'll allow for a few more cleanups of the fork code, from which e.g. ia64

With the advent of kdump, the assumption that the boot CPU when booting an UP
kernel is always the CPU with a particular hardware ID (often 0) (usually
referred to as BSP on some architectures) is not valid anymore. The reason
being that the dump capture kernel boots on the crashed CPU (the CPU that
invoked crash_kexec), which may be or may not be that particular CPU.Move definition of hard_smp_processor_id for the UP case to
architecture-specific code ("asm/smp.h") where it belongs, so that each
architecture can provide its own implementation.Signed-off-by: Fernando Luis Vazquez Cao

atomic_add_unless as inline. Remove system.h atomic.h circular dependency.
I agree (with Andi Kleen) this typeof is not needed and more error
prone. All the original atomic.h code that uses cmpxchg (which includes
the atomic_add_unless) uses defines instead of inline functions,
probably to circumvent a circular dependency between system.h and
atomic.h on powerpc (which my patch addresses). Therefore, it makes
sense to use inline functions that will provide type checking.atomic_add_unless as inline. Remove system.h atomic.h circular dependency.
Digging into the FRV architecture shows me that it is also affected by
such a circular dependency. Here is the diff applying this against the
rest of my atomic.h patches.It applies over the atomic.h standardization patches.
