This is a much better version of a previous patch to make the parser
tables constant. Rather than changing the typedef, we put the "const" in
all the various places where its required, allowing the __initconst
exception for nfsroot which was the cause of the previous trouble.This was posted for review some time ago and I believe its been in -mm
since then.Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse

percpu_counter_sum_and_set() and percpu_counter_sum() is the same except
the former updates the global counter after accounting. Since we are
taking the fbc->lock to calculate the precise value of the counter in
percpu_counter_sum() anyway, it should simply set fbc->count too, as the
percpu_counter_sum_and_set() does.This patch merges these two interfaces into one.

Extended devt introduces non-contiguos device numbers. This patch
implements a debug option which forces most devt allocations to be
from the extended area and spreads them out. This is enabled by
default if DEBUG_KERNEL is set and achieves...1. Detects code paths in kernel or userland which expect predetermined
consecutive device numbers.2. When something goes wrong, avoid corruption as adding to the minor
of earlier partition won't lead to the wrong but valid device.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

A klist entry is kept on the list till all its current iterations are
finished; however, a new iteration after deletion also iterates over
deleted entries as long as their reference count stays above zero.
This causes problems for cases where there are users which iterate
over the list while synchronized against list manipulations and
natuarally expect already deleted entries to not show up during
iteration.This patch implements dead flag which gets set on deletion so that
iteration can skip already deleted entries. The dead flag piggy backs
on the lowest bit of knode->n_klist and only visible to klist
implementation proper.While at it, drop klist_iter->i_head as it's redundant and doesn't
offer anything in semantics or performance wise as klist_iter->i_klist
is dereferenced on every iteration anyway.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

This patch adds the ability to print sizes in either units of 10^3 (SI)
or 2^10 (Binary) units. It rounds up to three significant figures and
can be used for either memory or storage capacities.Oh, and I'm fully aware that 64 bits is only 16EiB ... the Zetta and
Yotta units are added for future proofing against the day we have 128
bit computers ...[fujita.tomonori@lab.ntt.co.jp: fix missed unsigned long long cast]

This patch adds stalled-CPU detection to Classic RCU. This capability
is enabled by a new config variable CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_DETECTOR, which
defaults disabled.This is a debugging feature to detect infinite loops in kernel code, not
something that non-kernel-hackers would be expected to care about.This feature can detect looping CPUs in !PREEMPT builds and looping CPUs
with preemption disabled in PREEMPT builds. This is essentially a port of
this functionality from the treercu patch, replacing the stall debug patch
that is already in tip/core/rcu (commit 67182ae1c4).The changes from the patch in tip/core/rcu include making the config
variable name match that in treercu, changing from seconds to jiffies to
avoid spurious warnings, and printing a boot message when this feature
is enabled.Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-2.6-block:
sg: disable interrupts inside sg_copy_buffer -
The callers of sg_copy_buffer must disable interrupts before calling
it (since it uses kmap_atomic). Some callers use it on
interrupt-disabled code but some need to take the trouble to disable
interrupts just for this. No wonder they forget about it and we hit a
bug like:http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11529
James said that it might be better to disable interrupts inside the
function rather than risk the callers getting it wrong.Signed-off-by: FUJITA Tomonori

This fixes a SWIOTLB oops
With SWIOTLB being enabled and straight-forward page allocation
failure [1], the swiotlb_alloc_coherent fall-back path hits an
issue [2], resulting in my webcam failing to work.At the time of oops, RDI is clearly a pointer to a structure which
has arrived as NULL, leading to the typo in swiotlb_map_single's
callsite arguments.Correctly passing the device structure [3] addresses the issue and
gets my webcam working again (the allocation failure still occuring).--- [1]

It was introduced by "vsprintf: add support for '%pS' and '%pF' pointer
formats" in commit 0fe1ef24f7bd0020f29ffe287dfdb9ead33ca0b2. However,
the current way its coded doesn't work on parisc64. For two reasons: 1)
parisc isn't in the #ifdef and 2) parisc has a different format for
function descriptorsMake dereference_function_descriptor() more accommodating by allowing
architecture overrides. I put the three overrides (for parisc64, ppc64
and ia64) in arch/kernel/module.c because that's where the kernel

This bug is causing random crashes
(http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11414).-fno-omit-frame-pointer is only needed on powerpc when -pg is also
supplied, and there is a gcc bug that causes incorrect code generation
on 32-bit powerpc when -fno-omit-frame-pointer is used---it uses stack
locations below the stack pointer, which is not allowed by the ABI
because those locations can and sometimes do get corrupted by an
interrupt.This ensures that CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is only selected by ftrace.
When CONFIG_FTRACE is enabled we also pass -mno-sched-epilog to work
around the gcc codegen bug.Patch based on work by:

> =======================================================
> [ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
> 2.6.27-rc4-224c #1
> -------------------------------------------------------
> hald/4680 is trying to acquire lock:

>
> but task is already holding lock:
> (&obj_hash[i].lock){++..}, at: []
> debug_object_free+0x5c/0x120We fix it by moving the actual freeing to outside the lock (the lock
now only protects the list).The pool lock is also promoted to irq-safe (suggested by Dan). It's
necessary because free_pool is now called outside the irq disabled
region. So we need to protect against an interrupt handler which calls
debug_object_init().[tglx@linutronix.de: added hlist_move_list helper to avoid looping
through the list twice]Reported-by: Daniel J Blueman

A recent patch from Kay Sievers
replaced the first occurrence of '/' with '!' as needed for block devices.Now do some cheap defensive coding and replace all of them to avoid future
issues in this area.Signed-off-by: Ingo Oeser

I noticed that sysctl_check.o was the largest object file in
a allnoconfig build in kernel/*.36243 0 0 36243 8d93 kernel/sysctl_check.o
This is because it was default y and && EMBEDDED. But I don't
really see a need for a non kernel developer to have their
sysctls checked all the time.So move the Kconfig into the kernel debugging section and
also drop the default y and the EMBEDDED check.Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen
