b5bc6c0e55 x86, mm: use add_highpages_with_active_regions() for high pages init v2
use early_node_map to init high pages, so we can remove page_is_ram() and
page_is_reserved_early() in the big loop with add_one_highpage

also remove page_is_reserved_early(), it is not needed anymore.

v2: fix the build of other platforms

12448e3ef3 x86: use reserve_bootmem_generic() to reserve crashkernel memory on x86_64
This patch uses reserve_bootmem_generic() instead of reserve_bootmem()
to reserve the crashkernel memory on x86_64. That's necessary for NUMA
machines, see 00212fef81:

  [PATCH] Fix kdump Crash Kernel boot memory reservation for NUMA machines

  This patch will fix a boot memory reservation bug that trashes memory on
  the ES7000 when loading the kdump crash kernel.

  The code in arch/x86_64/kernel/setup.c to reserve boot memory for the crash
  kernel uses the non-numa aware "reserve_bootmem" function instead of the
  NUMA aware "reserve_bootmem_generic".  I checked to make sure that no other
  function was using "reserve_bootmem" and found none, except the ones that
  had NUMA ifdef'ed out.

  I have tested this patch only on an ES7000 with NUMA on and off (numa=off)
  in a single (non-NUMA) and multi-cell (NUMA) configurations.

8b2ef1d728 x86: add flags parameter to reserve_bootmem_generic()
This patch adds a 'flags' parameter to reserve_bootmem_generic() like it
already has been added in reserve_bootmem() with commit
72a7fe3967.

It also changes all users to use BOOTMEM_DEFAULT, which doesn't effectively
change the behaviour. Since the change is x86-specific, I don't think it's
necessary to add a new API for migration. There are only 4 users of that
function.

The change is necessary for the next patch, using reserve_bootmem_generic()
for crashkernel reservation.

97f8571e66 pxamci: fix byte aligned DMA transfers
The pxa27x DMA controller defaults to 64-bit alignment. This caused
the SCR reads to fail (and, depending on card type, error out) when
card->raw_scr was not aligned on a 8-byte boundary.

For performance reasons all scatter-gather addresses passed to
pxamci_request should be aligned on 8-byte boundaries, but if
this can't be guaranteed, byte aligned DMA transfers in the
have to be enabled in the controller to get correct behaviour.

09ca8adbe9 Revert "USB: don't explicitly reenable root-hub status interrupts"
This reverts commit e872154921.

Andrey Borzenkov reports that it resulted in a totally hung machine for
him when loading the OHCI driver.  Extensive netconsole capture with
SysRq output shows that modprobe gets stuck in ohci_hub_status_data()
when probing and enabling the OHCI controller, see for example

	http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/7/5/236

for an analysis.

The problem appears to be an interrupt flood triggered by the commit
that gets reverted, and Andrey confirmed that the revert makes things
work for him again.

35baff256d KVM: IOAPIC: Fix level-triggered irq injection hang
The "remote_irr" variable is used to indicate an interrupt
which has been received by the LAPIC, but not acked.

In our EOI handler, we unset remote_irr and re-inject the
interrupt if the interrupt line is still asserted.

However, we do not set remote_irr here, leading to a
situation where if kvm_ioapic_set_irq() is called, then we go
ahead and call ioapic_service(). This means that IRR is
re-asserted even though the interrupt is currently in service
(i.e. LAPIC IRR is cleared and ISR/TMR set)

The issue with this is that when the currently executing
interrupt handler finishes and writes LAPIC EOI, then TMR is
unset and EOI sent to the IOAPIC. Since IRR is now asserted,
but TMR is not, then when the second interrupt is handled,
no EOI is sent and if there is any pending interrupt, it is
not re-injected.

This fixes a hang only seen while running mke2fs -j on an
8Gb virtio disk backed by a fully sparse raw file, with
aliguori "avoid fragmented virtio-blk transfers by copying"
changes.

5d7e0d2bd9 Fix pagemap_read() use of struct mm_walk
Fix some issues in pagemap_read noted by Alexey:

- initialize pagemap_walk.mm to "mm" , so the code starts working as
  advertised

- initialize ->private to "&pm" so it wouldn't immediately oops in
  pagemap_pte_hole()

- unstatic struct pagemap_walk, so two threads won't fsckup each other
  (including those started by root, including flipping ->mm when you don't
  have permissions)

- pagemap_read() contains two calls to ptrace_may_attach(), second one
  looks unneeded.

- avoid possible kmalloc(0) and integer wraparound.

[   60.525138] mmcblk0: error -110 transferring data
[   60.531477] end_request: I/O error, dev mmcblk0, sector 1484353

[   60.533371] lost page write due to I/O error on mmcblk0p2

Presumably this is an off-by-one error in the hardware.  Incrementing
the timeout count value that we stuff into the TIMEOUT_CONTROL register
gets us a value that works.  This bug was originally discovered by
Pierre Ossman, I believe.

[thanks to Robert Millan for proving that this was still a problem]

e08c1694d9 olpc: sdhci: add quirk for the Marvell CaFe's vdd/powerup issue
This has been sitting around unloved for way too long..

The Marvell CaFe chip's SD implementation chokes during card insertion
if one attempts to set the voltage and power up in the same
SDHCI_POWER_CONTROL register write.  This adds a quirk that does
that particular dance in two steps.

It also adds an entry to pci_ids.h for the CaFe chip's SD device.

491539982a cciss: read config to obtain max outstanding commands per controller
This patch changes the way we determine the maximum number of outstanding
commands for each controller.

Most Smart Array controllers can support up to 1024 commands, the notable
exceptions are the E200 and E200i.

The next generation of controllers which were just added support a mode of
operation called Zero Memory Raid (ZMR).  In this mode they only support
64 outstanding commands.  In Full Function Raid (FFR) mode they support
1024.

We have been setting the queue depth by arbitrarily assigning some value
for each controller.  We needed a better way to set the queue depth to
avoid lots of annoying "fifo full" messages.  So we made the driver a
little smarter.  We now read the config table and subtract 4 from the
returned value.  The -4 is to allow some room for ioctl calls which are
not tracked the same way as io commands are tracked.

Please consider this for inclusion.

51597acfd3 Alpha Linux kernel fails with inconsistent kallsyms data
The build of the Alpha Linux kernel currently fails[1] with inconsistent
kallsyms data.  As I never saw that before, I thought about hardware
problems.  But in fact it is a bug in the Linux kernel.

The end of the rodata section is marked with the "__end_rodata" symbol.
This symbol have different aligning constraints than the inittext parts
and therefor the start marked "_sinittext".  Because of that the
__end_rodata symbol shifts between < _sinittext and == _sinittext.  The
later variant is seen as a code symbol and recorded in the kallsyms data.

On fix would be to move the exception table a little bit and get some
space between that two areas.

1209726ce9 security: filesystem capabilities: fix CAP_SETPCAP handling
The filesystem capability support meaning for CAP_SETPCAP is less powerful
than the non-filesystem capability support.  As such, when filesystem
capabilities are configured, we should not permit CAP_SETPCAP to 'enhance'
the current process through strace manipulation of a child process.

086f7316f0 security: filesystem capabilities: fix fragile setuid fixup code
This commit includes a bugfix for the fragile setuid fixup code in the
case that filesystem capabilities are supported (in access()).  The effect
of this fix is gated on filesystem capability support because changing
securebits is only supported when filesystem capabilities support is
configured.)
