Patch from Alexander Schulz

Up to now, shark kernels were limited to one megabyte compressed
size. As the kernels get bigger, this becomes more and more
uncomfortable. So I added a loop to copy 3 MB instead of one
and added some comments.

b66da4a485 [PATCH] ARM: Remove global nwfpe register variable
Recent changes to nwfpe broke the build with some gcc versions:

In file included from arch/arm/nwfpe/softfloat.c:33:
arch/arm/nwfpe/fpa11.h:32: global register variable follows a function definition
make[1]: *** [arch/arm/nwfpe/softfloat.o] Error 1

Since we now ensure that the kernel stack is empty when returning
to user space, we can now access the userspace registers with
reference to the kernel stack using current_thread_info(), rather
than remembering the stack pointer at the time nwfpe was called.

Patch from Alexander Schulz

This patch brings a new default config file for the shark and
fixes a compilation issue with io addressing and a runtime

These are all shark specific files so I hope it is ok to
put them in one patch.

This patch includes feedback from Andrew and Christoph. Thanks for

Use of empty_zero_page was eliminated to fix compilation for architectures

This patch removes setting pages up-to-date in ext2_get_xip_page and all
bug checks to verify that the page is indeed up to date.  Setting the page
state on mapping to userland is bogus.  None of the code patchs involved
with these pages in mm cares about the page state.

1feb8d2d73 [PATCH] uml: workaround host bug in "TT mode vs. NPTL link fix"
A big bug has been diagnosed on hosts running the SKAS patch and built with
CONFIG_REGPARM, due to some missing prevent_tail_call().

On these hosts, this workaround is needed to avoid triggering that bug,
because "to" is kept by GCC only in EBX, which is corrupted at the return of
mmap2().

Since to trigger this bug int 0x80 must be used when doing the call, it rarely
manifests itself, so I'd prefer to get this merged to workaround that host
bug, since it should cause no functional change.  Still, you might prefer to
drop it, I'll leave this to you.

bcb01b8a67 [PATCH] uml: fix lvalue for gcc4
Russell King <rmk+lkml@arm.linux.org.uk>

This construct is refused by GCC 4, so here's the (corrected) fix.  Thanks to
Russell for noticing a stupid mistake I did when first sending this.

As he noted, the code is largely suboptimal however it currently works, and
will be fixed shortly.  Just read the access_ok check on fp which is NULL, or
the pointer arithmetic below which should be done with a cast to void*:

 	frame = (struct rt_sigframe __user *)
 		round_down(stack_top - sizeof(struct rt_sigframe), 16) - 8;

The code shows clearly that has been taken from
arch/x86_64/kernel/signal.c:setup_rt_frame(), maybe in a bit of a hurry.

7fce2cf62e [SCSI] Redundant this_count check in sd_init_command()
I was going over the scsi I/O submit path, when sd_init_command
construct the scsi command, this_count is already checked in the
previous else if clause.  Why does it need to check it again in
the last else block?

Patch to delete the spurious check.

0f34e3f533 [SCSI] Redundant memset in scsi_alloc_sgtable
scsi_init_io calls scsi_alloc_sgtable and then calls blk_rq_map_sg
to initialize the scatterlist structure.  blk_rq_map_sg() already
memset the structure for every new segment.  That makes the memset
in scsi_alloc_sgtable unnecessary.

Patch to delete the extra memset in scsi_alloc_sgtable.  Tested on
a x86_64 machine.  Looks stable to me.

2f4701d827 [SCSI] add int_to_scsilun() function
One of the issues we had was reverting the midlayers lun value
into the 8byte lun value that we wanted to send to the device.
Historically, there's been some combination of byte swapping,
setting high/low, etc. There's also been no common thread between
how our driver did it and others.  I also got very confused as
to why byteswap routines were being used.

Anyway, this patch is a LLDD-callable function that reverts the
midlayer's lun value, stored in an int, to the 8-byte quantity
(note: this is not the real 8byte quantity, just the same amount
that scsilun_to_int() was able to convert and store originally).

This also solves the dilemma of the thread:

A patch for the lpfc driver to use this function will be along
in a few days (batched with other patches).
