ccc7dadf73 hrtimer: prevent migration of per CPU hrtimers
Impact: per CPU hrtimers can be migrated from a dead CPU

The hrtimer code has no knowledge about per CPU timers, but we need to
prevent the migration of such timers and warn when such a timer is
active at migration time.

Explicitely mark the timers as per CPU and use a more understandable
mode descriptor for the interrupts safe unlocked callback mode, which
is used by hrtimer_sleeper and the scheduler code.

b00c1a99e7 hrtimer: mark migration state
Impact: during migration active hrtimers can be seen as inactive

The migration code removes the hrtimers from the queues of the dead
CPU and sets the state temporary to INACTIVE. The enqueue code sets it
to ACTIVE/PENDING again.

Prevent that the wrong state can be seen by using a separate migration
state bit.

41e1022eae hrtimer: fix migration of CB_IRQSAFE_NO_SOFTIRQ hrtimers
Impact: Stale timers after a CPU went offline.

commit 37bb6cb409
       hrtimer: unlock hrtimer_wakeup

changed the hrtimer sleeper callback mode to CB_IRQSAFE_NO_SOFTIRQ due
to locking problems. A result of this change is that when enqueue is
called for an already expired hrtimer the callback function is not
longer called directly from the enqueue code. The normal callers have
been fixed in the code, but the migration code which moves hrtimers
from a dead CPU to a live CPU was not made aware of this.

This can be fixed by checking the timer state after the call to
enqueue in the migration code.

d0185c0882 Fix NULL pointer dereference in proc_sys_compare
The VFS interface for the 'd_compare()' is a bit special (read: 'odd'),
because it really just essentially replaces a memcmp().  The filesystem
is supposed to just compare the two names with whatever case-independent
or other function.

And when I say 'is supposed to', I obviously mean that 'procfs does odd
things, and actually looks at the dentry that we don't even pass down,
rather than just the name'.  Which results in problems, because we
actually call d_compare before we have even verified that the dentry is
still hashed at all.

And that causes a problm since the inode that procfs looks at may have
been free'd and the d_inode pointer is NULL.  procfs just assumes that
all dentries are positive, since procfs itself never generates a
negative one.  But memory pressure will still result in the dentry
getting torn down, and as it is removed by RCU, it still remains visible
on some lists - and to d_compare.

If the filesystem just did a name comparison, we wouldn't care.  And we
could just fix procfs to know about negative dentries too.  But rather
than have the low-level filesystems know about internal VFS details,
just move the check for a unhashed dentry up a bit, so that we will only
call d_compare on dentries that are still active.

The actual oops this caused didn't look like a NULL pointer dereference
because procfs did a 'container_of(inode, struct proc_inode, vfs_inode)'
to get at its internal proc_inode information from the inode pointer,
and accessed a field below the inode. So the oops would look something
like

	BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at fffffffffffffff0
	IP: [<ffffffff802bc6c6>] proc_sys_compare+0x36/0x50

and was seen on both x86-64 (Alexey Dobriyan and Hugh Dickins) and
ppc64 (Hugh Dickins).

ec2cd95f34 ALSA: make the CS4270 driver a new-style I2C driver
Update the CS4270 ALSA device driver to use the new-style I2C interface.
Starting with the 2.6.27 PowerPC kernel, I2C devices that have entries in the
device trees can no longer be probed by old-style I2C drivers.  The device
tree for Freescale MPC8610 HPCD has included an entry for the CS4270 since
2.6.25, but that entry was previously ignored by the PowerPC I2C subsystem.
Since that's no longer the case, the best solution is to update the CS4270
driver to a new-style interface, rather than try to revert the behavior of
new PowerPC I2C subsystem.

Well the second 7-group and on is a bug because sg pointer does not advance.

4c1eb90a09 sata_nv: reinstate nv_hardreset() for non generic controllers
Commit 2fd673ecf0 which tried to remove
hardreset for generic accidentally removed it for all flavors as all
others were inheriting from nv_generic_ops.  This patch reinstates
nv_hardreset() and puts it into nv_common_ops which all flavors
inherit from.  nv_generic_ops now inherits from nv_common_ops and
overrides .hardreset to ATA_OP_NULL.

While at it, explain why nv_hardreset and ATA_OP_NULL override are
necessary.

95dbf1dbe3 kgdb, x86_64: gdb serial has BX and DX reversed
The BX and DX registers in the gdb serial register packet need to be
flipped for gdb to receive the correct data.

d7161a6534 kgdb, x86, arm, mips, powerpc: ignore user space single stepping
On the x86 arch, user space single step exceptions should be ignored
if they occur in the kernel space, such as ptrace stepping through a
system call.

First check if it is kgdb that is executing a single step, then ensure
it is not an accidental traversal into the user space, while in kgdb,
any other time the TIF_SINGLESTEP is set, kgdb should ignore the
exception.

On x86, arm, mips and powerpc, the kgdb_contthread usage was
inconsistent with the way single stepping is implemented in the kgdb
core.  The arch specific stub should always set the
kgdb_cpu_doing_single_step correctly if it is single stepping.  This
allows kgdb to correctly process an instruction steps if ptrace
happens to be requesting an instruction step over a system call.

18d6522b86 kgdb: could not write to the last of valid memory with kgdb
On the ARM architecture, kgdb will crash the kernel if the last byte
of valid memory is written due to a flush_icache_range flushing
beyond the memory boundary.

71a8c87fb3 [XFS] Remove xfs_iext_irec_compact_full()
Yet another bug was found in xfs_iext_irec_compact_full() and while the
source of the bug was found it wasn't an easy task to track it down
because the conditions are very difficult to reproduce.

A HUGE thank-you goes to Russell Cattelan and Eric Sandeen for their
significant effort in tracking down the source of this corruption.

xfs_iext_irec_compact_full() and xfs_iext_irec_compact_pages() are almost
identical - they both compact indirect extent lists by moving extents from
subsequent buffers into earlier ones. xfs_iext_irec_compact_pages() only
moves extents if all of the extents in the next buffer will fit into the
empty space in the buffer before it. xfs_iext_irec_compact_full() will go
a step further and move part of the next buffer if all the extents wont
fit. It will then shift the remaining extents in the next buffer up to the
start of the buffer. The bug here was that we did not update er_extoff and
this caused extent list corruption.

It does not appear that this extra functionality gains us much. Calling
xfs_iext_irec_compact_pages() instead will do a good enough job at
compacting the indirect list and will be quicker too.

For the case in xfs_iext_indirect_to_direct() the total number of extents
in the indirect list will fit into one buffer so we will never need the
extra functionality of xfs_iext_irec_compact_full() there.

Also xfs_iext_irec_compact_pages() doesn't need to do a memmove() (the
buffers will never overlap) so we don't want the performance hit that can
incur.
