The segment register slots in struct pt_regs are padded to 32 bits.
Some of these are stored with instructions like "pushl %es", which
leaves the high 16 bits as they were. So the high bits of these
fields in struct pt_regs contain kernel stack garbage. These bits are
ignored by everything and never leak to user space, except in core
dumps. The user struct pt_regs is always at the base of the thread's
kernel stack and so it seems unlikely the information that leaks from
here is ever worthwhile so as to be a security concern, but I'm not
sure about that. It has been this way for ages; userland consumers of
core dumps all mask off these high bits themselves. So it is not urgent.
This change masks off the padding bits of the segment register slots
in core dumps. ptrace already masks off these high bits, so this
makes the values in core dumps consistent with what ptrace would
report just before the process died.
As I read the processor manuals, the cs and ss values will always be
padded with zero bits rather than stack garbage. But unlike "pushl %es",
this is not simple to test with a userland program. So I added the two
instructions rather than wonder if they are really never necessary.
I think that x86_64 does not have this problem (for either 32-bit or
64-bit processes). It only uses "mov" instructions from segment
registers, which zero-extend.

It turned out that it is almost impossible to trust ACPI, BIOS & Co.
regarding the C states. This was the reason to switch the local apic
timer off in C2 state already. OTOH there are sane and well behaving
systems, which get punished by that decision.
Allow the user to confirm that the local apic timer is trustworthy in C2
state. This keeps the default behaviour on the safe side.

[IA64] min_low_pfn and max_low_pfn calculation fix
We have seen bad_pte_print when testing crashdump on an SN machine in
recent 2.6.20 kernel. There are tons of bad pte print (pfn < max_low_pfn)
reports when the crash kernel boots up, all those reported bad pages
are inside initmem range; That is because if the crash kernel code and
data happens to be at the beginning of the 1st node. build_node_maps in
discontig.c will bypass reserved regions with filter_rsvd_memory. Since
min_low_pfn is calculated in build_node_map, so in this case, min_low_pfn
will be greater than kernel code and data.
Because pages inside initmem are freed and reused later, we saw
pfn_valid check fail on those pages.
I think this theoretically happen on a normal kernel. When I check
min_low_pfn and max_low_pfn calculation in contig.c and discontig.c.
I found more issues than this.
1. min_low_pfn and max_low_pfn calculation is inconsistent between
contig.c and discontig.c,
min_low_pfn is calculated as the first page number of boot memmap in
contig.c (Why? Though this may work at the most of the time, I don't
think it is the right logic). It is calculated as the lowest physical
memory page number bypass reserved regions in discontig.c.
max_low_pfn is calculated include reserved regions in contig.c. It is
calculated exclude reserved regions in discontig.c.
2. If kernel code and data region is happen to be at the begin or the
end of physical memory, when min_low_pfn and max_low_pfn calculation is
bypassed kernel code and data, pages in initmem will report bad.
3. initrd is also in reserved regions, if it is at the begin or at the
end of physical memory, kernel will refuse to reuse the memory. Because
the virt_addr_valid check in free_initrd_mem.
So it is better to fix and clean up those issues.
Calculate min_low_pfn and max_low_pfn in a consistent way.

If the association has been restarted, we need to reset the
transport congestion variables as well as accumulated error
counts and CACC variables. If we do not, the association
will use the wrong values and may terminate prematurely.
This was found with a scenario where the peer restarted
the association when lksctp was in the last HB timeout for
its association. The restart happened, but the error counts
have not been reset and when the timeout occurred, a newly
restarted association was terminated due to excessive
retransmits.

The current NFS client congestion logic is severly broken, it marks the

implements its own waitqueue.
Replace this by a more regular congestion implementation that puts a cap on
the number of active writeback pages and uses the bdi congestion waitqueue.
Also always use an interruptible wait since it makes sense to be able to

It's been pointed out that output GPIOs should have an initial value, to
avoid signal glitching ... among other things, it can be some time before
a driver is ready. This patch corrects that oversight, fixing
- documentation
- platforms supporting the GPIO interface
- users of that call (just one for now, others are pending)
There's only one user of this call for now since most platforms are still
using non-generic GPIO setup code, which in most cases already couples the
initial value with its "set output mode" request.
Note that most platforms are clear about the hardware letting the output
value be set before the pin direction is changed, but the s3c241x docs are
vague on that topic ... so those chips might not avoid the glitches.

Fix a bug in the cleanup of an spi_bitbang bus.
The workqueue associated with the bus was destroyed before the call to
spi_unregister_master. That meant that spi devices on that bus would be
unable to do IO in their remove method. The shutdown flag should have been
able to prevent a segfault, but was never getting set. By waiting to
destroy the workqueue until after the master is unregistered, devices are
able to do IO in their remove methods. An added benefit is that neither
the shutdown flag nor a wait for the queue of messages to empty is needed.

This patch (as868) adds a helper routine for device drivers that need
to set up a callback to perform some action in a different process's
context. This is intended for use by attribute methods that want to
unregister themselves or their parent device. Attribute method calls
are mutually exclusive with unregistration, so such actions cannot be
taken directly.
Two attribute methods are converted to use the new helper routine: one
for SCSI device deletion and one for System/390 ccwgroup devices.
