With CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC configured, the CPU will generate an exception
on access (read,write) to an unallocated page, which permits us to catch
code which corrupts memory. However the kernel is trying to maximise
memory usage, hence there are usually few free pages in the system and
buggy code usually corrupts some crucial data.This patch changes the buddy allocator to keep more free/protected pages
and to interlace free/protected and allocated pages to increase the
probability of catching corruption.When the kernel is compiled with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC,
debug_guardpage_minorder defines the minimum order used by the page
allocator to grant a request. The requested size will be returned with
the remaining pages used as guard pages.The default value of debug_guardpage_minorder is zero: no change from
current behaviour.[akpm@linux-foundation.org: tweak documentation, s/flg/flag/]

Now that the use of numeric uids/gids is officially sanctioned in
RFC3530bis, it is time to change the default here to 'enabled'.By doing so, we ensure that NFSv4 copies the behaviour of NFSv3 when we're
using the default AUTH_SYS authentication (i.e. when the client uses the
numeric uids/gids as authentication tokens), so that when new files are
created, they will appear to have the correct user/group.
It also fixes a number of backward compatibility issues when migrating
from NFSv3 to NFSv4 on a platform where the server uses different uid/gid
mappings than the client.Note also that this setting has been successfully tested against servers
that do not support numeric uids/gids at several Connectathon/Bakeathon
events at this point, and the fall back to using string names/groups has
been shown to work well in all those test cases.Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust

If the device starts to use IOMMUv2 features the dma handles
need to stay valid. The only sane way to do this is to use a
identity mapping for the device and not translate it by the
iommu. This is implemented with this patch. Since this lifts
the device-isolation there is also a new kernel parameter
which allows to disable that feature.Signed-off-by: Joerg Roedel

With this patch the OProfile Basic Mode Sampling support for System z
is enhanced with a counter file system. That way hardware sampling
can be configured using the user space tools with only little
modifications.With the patch by default new cpu_types (s390/z10, s390/z196) are
returned in order to indicate that we are running a CPU which provides
the hardware sampling facility. Existing user space tools will
complain about an unknown cpu type. In order to be compatible with
existing user space tools the `cpu_type' module parameter has been
added. Setting the parameter to `timer' will force the module to
return `timer' as cpu_type. The module will still try to use hardware
sampling if available and the hwsampling virtual filesystem will be
also be available for configuration. So this has a different effect
than using the generic oprofile module parameter `timer=1'.If the basic mode sampling is enabled on the machine and the
cpu_type=timer parameter is not used the kernel module will provide
the following virtual filesystem:/dev/oprofile/0/enabled
/dev/oprofile/0/event
/dev/oprofile/0/count
/dev/oprofile/0/unit_mask
/dev/oprofile/0/kernel
/dev/oprofile/0/userIn the counter file system only the values of 'enabled', 'count',
'kernel', and 'user' are evaluated by the kernel module. Everything
else must contain fixed values.The 'event' value only supports a single event - HWSAMPLING with value
0.The 'count' value specifies the hardware sampling rate as it is passed
to the CPU measurement facility.The 'kernel' and 'user' flags can now be used to filter for samples
when using hardware sampling.Additionally also the following file will be created:
/dev/oprofile/timer/enabledThis will always be the inverted value of /dev/oprofile/0/enabled. 0
is not accepted without hardware sampling.Signed-off-by: Andreas Krebbel

The 16-MB global limit on memory used by usbfs isn't suitable for all
people. It's a reasonable default, but there are applications
(especially for SuperSpeed devices) that need a lot more.This patch (as1498) creates a writable module parameter for usbcore to
control the global limit. The default is still 16 MB, but users can
change it at runtime, even after usbcore has been loaded. As a
special case, setting the value to 0 is treated the same as the hard
limit of 2047 MB.Signed-off-by: Alan Stern

Currently only the address of the pre-allocated ELF header is passed with
the elfcorehdr= kernel parameter. In order to reserve memory for the header
in the 2nd kernel also the size is required. Current kdump architecture
backends use different methods to do that, e.g. x86 uses the memmap= kernel
parameter. On s390 there is no easy way to transfer this information.
Therefore the elfcorehdr kernel parameter is extended to also pass the size.
This now can also be used as standard mechanism by all future kdump
architecture backends.The syntax of the kernel parameter is extended as follows:
elfcorehdr=[size[KMG]@]offset[KMG]
This change is backward compatible because elfcorehdr=size is still allowed.

* 'x86-rdrand-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
x86, random: Verify RDRAND functionality and allow it to be disabled
x86, random: Architectural inlines to get random integers with RDRAND
random: Add support for architectural random hooksFix up trivial conflicts in drivers/char/random.c: the architectural
random hooks touched "get_random_int()" that was simplified to use MD5
and not do the keyptr thing any more (see commit 6e5714eaf77d: "net:
Compute protocol sequence numbers and fragment IDs using MD5").
