include/asm-:mips add missing edac h file
EDAC has a foundation to perform software memory scrubbing, but it requires a
per architecture (atomic_scrub) function for performing an atomic update
operation. Under X86, this is done with a
lock: add [addr],0
in the file asm-x86/edac.h
This patch provides the MIPS arch with that atomic function, atomic_scrub() in
asm-mips/edac.h

drivers/edac: fix edac_pci sysfs
This patch fixes sysfs exit code for the EDAC PCI device in a similiar manner
and the previous fixes for EDAC_MC and EDAC_DEVICE.
It removes the old (and incorrect) completion model and uses reference counts
on per instance kobjects and on the edac core module.
This pattern was applied to the edac_mc and edac_device code, but the EDAC PCI
code was missed. In addition, this fixes a system hang after a low level
driver was unloaded. (A cleanup function was called twice, which really
screwed things up)

This fixes a deadlock that could occur on a 'setup' and 'teardown' sequence of

In addition, the edac_mc device code there was missing code to allow the workq

This patch adds that fix on the code, and allows for the changing of the
period value as well.

However, I see a possibly related binutils patch:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.binutils/33650
It was tracked down to be caused by the weak prototype
declaration in mm.h:
__attribute__((weak)) const char *arch_vma_name(struct vm_area_struct *vma);
But there is no need to make the declaration weak - only the definition
needs to be marked weak. So drop the weak declaration. And in the process
drop the duplicate definition in page.h for powerpc.
Note: the arch_vma_name fix for x86_64 needs to be applied first to avoid

fix inode_table test in ext234_check_descriptors
ext[234]_check_descriptors sanity checks block group descriptor geometry at
mount time, testing whether the block bitmap, inode bitmap, and inode table
reside wholly within the blockgroup. However, the inode table test is off
by one so that if the last block in the inode table resides on the last
block of the block group, the test incorrectly fails. This is because it
tests the last block as (start + length) rather than (start + length - 1).
This can be seen by trying to mount a filesystem made such as:
mkfs.ext2 -F -b 1024 -m 0 -g 256 -N 3744 fsfile 1024
which yields:
EXT2-fs error (device loop0): ext2_check_descriptors: Inode table for group 0 not in group (block 101)!
EXT2-fs: group descriptors corrupted!
There is a similar bug in e2fsprogs, patch already sent for that.

used in this and other tests throughout the ext filesystems...)

memory unplug: migration by kernel
In usual, migrate_pages(page,,) is called with holding mm->sem by system call.
(mm here is a mm_struct which maps the migration target page.)
This semaphore helps avoiding some race conditions.
But, if we want to migrate a page by some kernel codes, we have to avoid
some races. This patch adds check code for following race condition.
1. A page which page->mapping==NULL can be target of migration. Then, we have
to check page->mapping before calling try_to_unmap().
2. anon_vma can be freed while page is unmapped, but page->mapping remains as
it was. We drop page->mapcount to be 0. Then we cannot trust page->mapping.
So, use rcu_read_lock() to prevent anon_vma pointed by page->mapping from
being freed during migration.

make timerfd return a u64 and fix the __put_user
Davi fixed a missing cast in the __put_user(), that was making timerfd
return a single byte instead of the full value.
Talking with Michael about the timerfd man page, we think it'd be better to
use a u64 for the returned value, to align it with the eventfd
implementation.
This is an ABI change. The timerfd code is new in 2.6.22 and if we merge this
into 2.6.23 then we should also merge it into 2.6.22.x. That will leave a few
early 2.6.22 kernels out in the wild which might misbehave when a future
timerfd-enabled glibc is run on them.
mtk says: The difference would be that read() will only return 4 bytes, while
the application will expect 8. If the application is checking the size of
returned value, as it should, then it will be able to detect the problem (it
could even be sophisticated enough to know that if this is a 4-byte return,
then it is running on an old 2.6.22 kernel). If the application is not
checking the return from read(), then its 8-byte buffer will not be filled --
the contents of the last 4 bytes will be undefined, so the u64 value as a
whole will be junk.

ip6_tunnel - endianness annotations
Convert rel_info to host-endian before calling ip6_tnl_err().
The things become much more straightforward that way.
The key observation (and the reason why that code actually
worked) is that after ip6_tnl_err() we either immediately
bailed out or had rel_info set to 0 or had it set to host-endian
and guaranteed to hit
(rel_type == ICMP_DEST_UNREACH && rel_code == ICMP_FRAG_NEEDED)
case. So inconsistent endianness didn't really lead to bugs,
but it had been subtle and prone to breakage. New variant is
saner and obviously safe.

kbuild: fix modpost warnings for xtensa
The Xtensa architecture places literal pools in sections separate
from the instructions. The corresponsing text sections, therefore,
reference the .literal section, and we have to suppress those
warnings.
The naming convention defines the name for a literal
section as .SECTION.literal, unless .SECTION is .text. In that case
the name is only .literal. Using strncmp() instead of strcmp()
to compare the from-section with .SECTION.init.refok in pattern 0
should not cause any regressions for other architectures.
We also need to suppress warnings for two informational
sections (.xt.lit and .xt.prop) used by the Xtensa architecture.

[x86 setup] APM detection logic bug fix
Starting with kernel 2.6.23-rc1, the i386 APM driver fails
on several of my machines with the message:
apm: BIOS not found
This happens because of a bug in the i386 boot code rewrite
from assembler to C. The original assembly code had the
following code in its APM BIOS presence test (boot/setup.S):
andw $0x02, %cx # Is 32 bit supported?
je done_apm_bios # No 32-bit, no (good) APM BIOS
That is, the code bails out if bit 2 is zero.
In the new C version, this is coded as (boot/apm.c):
if (cx & 0x02) /* 32 bits supported? */
return -1;
Here we see that the test has been accidentally inverted.
The fix is to negate the test. I've verified that this
allows the APM driver to work again on my affected machines.

Cache xtime every call to update_wall_time
This avoids xtime lag seen with dynticks, because while 'xtime' itself
is still not updated often, we keep a 'xtime_cache' variable around that
contains the approximate real-time that _is_ updated each time we do a
'update_wall_time()', and is thus never off by more than one tick.
IOW, this restores the original semantics for 'xtime' users, as long as
you use the proper abstraction functions (ie 'current_kernel_time()' or
'get_seconds()' depending on whether you want a timespec or just the
seconds field).
[ Updated Patch. As penance for my sins I've also yanked another #ifdef
that was added to avoid the xtime lag w/ hrtimers. ]

Cleanup non-arch xtime uses, use get_seconds() or current_kernel_time().
This avoids use of the kernel-internal "xtime" variable directly outside
of the actual time-related functions. Instead, use the helper functions
that we already have available to us.
This doesn't actually change any behaviour, but this will allow us to
fix the fact that "xtime" isn't updated very often with CONFIG_NO_HZ
(because much of the realtime information is maintained as separate
offsets to 'xtime'), which has caused interfaces that use xtime directly
to get a time that is out of sync with the real-time clock by up to a
third of a second or so.
