de01dfadf2 md: Ensure an md array never has too many devices.
Each different metadata format supported by md supports a
different maximum number of devices.
We really should be enforcing this maximum in the kernel, but
we aren't quite doing that properly.

We currently only enforce it at the 'hot_add' point, which is an
older interface which is not used by current userspace.

We need to also enforce it at 'add_new_disk' time for active arrays
and at 'do_md_run' time when starting a new array.

So move the test from 'hot_add' into 'bind_rdev_to_array' which is
called from both 'hot_add' and 'add_new_disk, and add a new
test in 'analyse_sbs' which is called from 'do_md_run'.

This bug (or missing feature) has been around "forever" and so
the patch is suitable for any -stable that is currently maintained.

852c8bf484 md: Fix a bug in linear.c causing which_dev() to return the wrong device.
ab5bd5cbc8 introduced the following
bug in linear software raid for large arrays on 32 bit machines:

which_dev() computes the device holding a given sector by shifting
down the sector number to a 32 bit range, dividing by the array
spacing and looking up the resulting index in the hash table of
the array.

Because the computed index might be slightly too small, a loop at
the end of which_dev() increases the index until the given sector
actually falls into the range of the device associated with that index.

The changes of the above mentioned commit caused this loop to check
whether the _index_ rather than the sector number is small enough,
effectively bypassing the loop and thus possibly returning the wrong
device.

As reported by Simon Kirby, this leads to errors such as

	linear_make_request: Sector 2340486136 out of bounds on dev sdi: 156301312 sectors, offset 2109870464

Fix this bug by introducing a local variable for the index so that
the variable containing the passed sector is left unchanged.

4706b349f4 md: Allow read error in a single drive raid1 to be passed up.
If a raid1 only has a single working device and gets a read error, 
we choose to simply return that error up to the filesystem (or whatever)
rather than failing the whole array.

However the codes doesn't quite do that.  We attempt a readbalance
which allocates the same drive, so we retry the read - indefinitely. 

Instead:  If read_balance in the error case chooses the same drive that just
failed, treat it as a failure and don't retry.

33da8892a2 seq_file: move traverse so it can be used from seq_read
In 2.6.25 some /proc files were converted to use the seq_file
infrastructure.  But seq_files do not correctly support pread(), which
broke some usersapce applications.

To handle pread correctly we can't assume that f_pos is where we left it
in seq_read.  So move traverse() so that we can eventually use it in
seq_read and do thus some day support pread().

ab92661d5d do_wp_page: fix regression with execute in place
Fix do_wp_page for VM_MIXEDMAP mappings.

In the case where pfn_valid returns 0 for a pfn at the beginning of
do_wp_page and the mapping is not shared writable, the code branches to
label `gotten:' with old_page == NULL.

In case the vma is locked (vma->vm_flags & VM_LOCKED), lock_page,
clear_page_mlock, and unlock_page try to access the old_page.

This patch checks whether old_page is valid before it is dereferenced.

The regression was introduced by "mlock: mlocked pages are unevictable"
(commit b291f00039).

777c6c5f1f wait: prevent exclusive waiter starvation
With exclusive waiters, every process woken up through the wait queue must
ensure that the next waiter down the line is woken when it has finished.

Interruptible waiters don't do that when aborting due to a signal.  And if
an aborting waiter is concurrently woken up through the waitqueue, noone
will ever wake up the next waiter.

This has been observed with __wait_on_bit_lock() used by
lock_page_killable(): the first contender on the queue was aborting when
the actual lock holder woke it up concurrently.  The aborted contender
didn't acquire the lock and therefor never did an unlock followed by
waking up the next waiter.

Add abort_exclusive_wait() which removes the process' wait descriptor from
the waitqueue, iff still queued, or wakes up the next waiter otherwise.
It does so under the waitqueue lock.  Racing with a wake up means the
aborting process is either already woken (removed from the queue) and will
wake up the next waiter, or it will remove itself from the queue and the
concurrent wake up will apply to the next waiter after it.

Use abort_exclusive_wait() in __wait_event_interruptible_exclusive() and
__wait_on_bit_lock() when they were interrupted by other means than a wake
up through the queue.

60fd760fb9 revert "rlimit: permit setting RLIMIT_NOFILE to RLIM_INFINITY"
Revert commit 0c2d64fb6c because it causes
(arguably poorly designed) existing userspace to spend interminable
periods closing billions of not-open file descriptors.

We could bring this back, with some sort of opt-in tunable in /proc, which
defaults to "off".

Peter's alanysis follows:

: I spent several hours trying to get to the bottom of a serious
: performance issue that appeared on one of our servers after upgrading to
: 2.6.28.  In the end it's what could be considered a userspace bug that
: was triggered by a change in 2.6.28.  Since this might also affect other
: people I figured I'd at least document what I found here, and maybe we
: can even do something about it:
:
:
: So, I upgraded some of debian.org's machines to 2.6.28.1 and immediately
: the team maintaining our ftp archive complained that one of their
: scripts that previously ran in a few minutes still hadn't even come
: close to being done after an hour or so.  Downgrading to 2.6.27 fixed
: that.
:
: Turns out that script is forking a lot and something in it or python or
: whereever closes all the file descriptors it doesn't want to pass on.
: That is, it starts at zero and goes up to ulimit -n/RLIMIT_NOFILE and
: closes them all with a few exceptions.
:
: Turns out that takes a long time when your limit -n is now 2^20 (1048576).
:
: With 2.6.27.* the ulimit -n was the standard 1024, but with 2.6.28 it is
: now a thousand times that.
:
: 2.6.28 included a patch titled "rlimit: permit setting RLIMIT_NOFILE to
: RLIM_INFINITY" (0c2d64fb6c)[1] that
: allows, as the title implies, to set the limit for number of files to
: infinity.
:
: Closer investigation showed that the broken default ulimit did not apply
: to "system" processes (like stuff started from init).  In the end I
: could establish that all processes that passed through pam_limit at one
: point had the bad resource limit.
:
: Apparently the pam library in Debian etch (4.0) initializes the limits
: to some default values when it doesn't have any settings in limit.conf
: to override them.  Turns out that for nofiles this is RLIM_INFINITY.
: Commenting out "case RLIMIT_NOFILE" in pam_limit.c:267 of our pam
: package version 0.79-5 fixes that - tho I'm not sure what side effects
: that has.
:
: Debian lenny (the upcoming 5.0 version) doesn't have this issue as it
: uses a different pam (version).

a68e61e8ff shm: fix shmctl(SHM_INFO) lockup with !CONFIG_SHMEM
shm_get_stat() assumes that the inode is a "struct shmem_inode_info",
which is incorrect for !CONFIG_SHMEM (see fs/ramfs/inode.c:
ramfs_get_inode() vs.  mm/shmem.c: shmem_get_inode()).

This bad assumption can cause shmctl(SHM_INFO) to lockup when
shm_get_stat() tries to spin_lock(&info->lock).  Users of !CONFIG_SHMEM
may encounter this lockup simply by invoking the 'ipcs' command.

1f5e31d7e5 fbmem: don't call copy_from/to_user() with mutex held
Avoid calling copy_from/to_user() with fb_info->lock mutex held in fbmem
ioctl().

fb_mmap() is called under mm->mmap_sem (A) held, that also acquires
fb_info->lock (B); fb_ioctl() takes fb_info->lock (B) and does
copy_from/to_user() that might acquire mm->mmap_sem (A), causing a
deadlock.

NOTE: it doesn't push down the fb_info->lock in each own driver's
fb_ioctl(), so there are still potential deadlocks elsewhere.

c073b2db00 hpilo: open/close fix
The device can take a while to respond to an open/close request, so
increase the time kernel will wait for response (1 ms to 10ms).

Also, properly clean up a channel on a failed open, by calling the channel
close routine.  Just freeing the memory isn't sufficient, the device needs
to be informed that the channel is no longer open, and the device memory
cleared of references to freed dma buffer.

732553e567 [CPUFREQ] powernow-k8: Get transition latency from ACPI _PSS table
At this time, the PowerNow! driver for K8 uses an experimentally
derived formula to calculate transition latency.  The value it
provides is orders of magnitude too large on modern systems.
This patch replaces the formula with ACPI _PSS latency values
for more accuracy and better performance.

I've tested it on two 2nd generation Opteron systems, a 3rd
generation Operton system, and a Turion X2 without seeing any
stability problems.

4cd4c1b40d timers: split process wide cpu clocks/timers
Change the process wide cpu timers/clocks so that we:

 1) don't mess up the kernel with too many threads,
 2) don't have a per-cpu allocation for each process,
 3) have no impact when not used.

In order to accomplish this we're going to split it into two parts:

 - clocks; which can take all the time they want since they run
           from user context -- ie. sys_clock_gettime(CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID)

 - timers; which need constant time sampling but since they're
           explicity used, the user can pay the overhead.

The clock readout will go back to a full sum of the thread group, while the
timers will run of a global 'clock' that only runs when needed, so only
programs that make use of the facility pay the price.

32bd671d6c signal: re-add dead task accumulation stats.
We're going to split the process wide cpu accounting into two parts:

 - clocks; which can take all the time they want since they run
           from user context.

 - timers; which need constant time tracing but can affort the overhead
           because they're default off -- and rare.

The clock readout will go back to a full sum of the thread group, for this
we need to re-add the exit stats that were removed in the initial itimer
rework (f06febc9: timers: fix itimer/many thread hang).

Furthermore, since that full sum can be rather slow for large thread groups
and we have the complete dead task stats, revert the do_notify_parent time
computation.

b534816b55 x86: don't apply __supported_pte_mask to non-present ptes
On an x86 system which doesn't support global mappings,
__supported_pte_mask has _PAGE_GLOBAL clear, to make sure it never
appears in the PTE.  pfn_pte() and so on will enforce it with:

static inline pte_t pfn_pte(unsigned long page_nr, pgprot_t pgprot)
{
	return __pte((((phys_addr_t)page_nr << PAGE_SHIFT) |
		      pgprot_val(pgprot)) & __supported_pte_mask);
}

However, we overload _PAGE_GLOBAL with _PAGE_PROTNONE on non-present
ptes to distinguish them from swap entries.  However, applying
__supported_pte_mask indiscriminately will clear the bit and corrupt the
pte.

I guess the best fix is to only apply __supported_pte_mask to present
ptes.  This seems like the right solution to me, as it means we can
completely ignore the issue of overlaps between the present pte bits and
the non-present pte-as-swap entry use of the bits.

__supported_pte_mask contains the set of flags we support on the
current hardware.  We also use bits in the pte for things like
logically present ptes with no permissions, and swap entries for
swapped out pages.  We should only apply __supported_pte_mask to
present ptes, because otherwise we may destroy other information being
stored in the ptes.

5294e25671 PCI PM: make the PM core more careful with drivers using the new PM framework
Currently, the PM core always attempts to manage devices with drivers
that use the new PM framework.  In particular, it attempts to disable
the devices (which is unnecessary), to save their state (which may be
undesirable if the driver has done that already) and to put them into
low power states (again, this may be undesirable if the driver has
already put the device into a low power state).  That need not be
the right thing to do, so make the core be more careful in this
respect.

Generally, there are the following categories of devices to consider:
* bridge devices without drivers
* non-bridge devices without drivers
* bridge devices with drivers
* non-bridge devices with drivers
and each of them should be handled differently.

For bridge devices without drivers the PCI PM core will save their
state on suspend and restore it (early) during resume, after putting
them into D0 if necessary.  It will not attempt to do anything else
to these devices.

For non-bridge devices without drivers the PCI PM core will disable
them and save their state on suspend.  During resume, it will put
them into D0, if necessary, restore their state (early) and reenable
them.

For bridge devices with drivers the PCI PM core will only save
their state on suspend if the driver hasn't done that already.
Still, the core will restore their state (early) during resume,
after putting them into D0, if necessary.

For non-bridge devices with drivers the PCI PM core will only save
their state on suspend if the driver hasn't done that already.  Also,
if the state of the device hasn't been saved by the driver, the core
will attempt to put the device into a low power state.  During
resume the core will restore the state of the device (early), after
putting it into D0, if necessary.
