bec4f749cb [WATCHDOG] rm9k_wdt: fix compilation
Driver did not compile any more. Someone moved the definition
of 'struct miscdevice miscdev' to a place near the end of the
file, after some code that was refering to this variable.

68380b5813 Add "run_scheduled_work()" workqueue function
This allows workqueue users to run just their own pending work, rather
than wait for the whole workqueue to finish running.  This solves the
deadlock with networking libphy that was due to other workqueue entries
possibly needing a lock that was held by the routine that wanted to
flush its own work.

It's not wonderful: if you absolutely need to synchronize with the work
function having been executed, any user strictly speaking should have
its own completion tracking logic, since when we run things explicitly
by hand, the generic workqueue layer can no longer help us synchronize.

Also, this is strictly only usable for work that has been scheduled
without any delayed timers.  You can not mix the new interface with
schedule_delayed_work().

But it's better than what we had currently.

4d7cbac7c8 [PATCH] IPMI: Fix BT long busy
The IPMI BT subdriver has been patched to survive "long busy" timeouts seen
during firmware upgrades and resets.  The patch never returns the HOSED state,
synthesizes response messages with meaningful completion codes, and recovers
gracefully when the hardware finishes the long busy.  The subdriver now issues
a "Get BT Capabilities" command and properly uses those results.  More
informative completion codes are returned on error from transaction starts;
this logic was propogated to the KCS and SMIC subdrivers.  Finally, indent and
other style quirks were normalized.

97d2a80584 [PATCH] aio: remove ki_retried debugging member
Remove the ki_retried member from struct kiocb.  I think the idea was
bounced around a while back, but Arnaldo pointed out another reason that we
should dig it up when he pointed out that the last cacheline of struct
kiocb only contains 4 bytes.  By removing the debugging member, we save
more than the 8 byte on 64 bit machines.

Chen, Kenneth W
b62e8ec2ac [PATCH] aio: kill pointless ki_nbytes assignment in aio_setup_single_vector
io_submit_one assigns ki_left = ki_nbytes = iocb->aio_nbytes, then calls
down to aio_setup_iocb, then to aio_setup_single_vector.  In there,
ki_nbytes is reassigned to the same value it got two call stack above it.
There is no need to do so.

85916f8166 [PATCH] Kexec / Kdump: Unify elf note code
The elf note saving code is currently duplicated over several
architectures.  This cleanup patch simply adds code to a common file and
then replaces the arch-specific code with calls to the newly added code.

The only drawback with this approach is that s390 doesn't fully support
kexec-on-panic which for that arch leads to introduction of unused code.

Heh, the very first line:
fs/exec.c(1465): remark #593: variable "flag" was set but never used

fs/exec.c:
  1477		/*
  1478		 *	We cannot trust fsuid as being the "true" uid of the
  1479		 *	process nor do we know its entire history. We only know it
  1480		 *	was tainted so we dump it as root in mode 2.
  1481		 */
  1482		if (mm->dumpable == 2) {	/* Setuid core dump mode */
  1483			flag = O_EXCL;		/* Stop rewrite attacks */
  1484			current->fsuid = 0;	/* Dump root private */
  1485		}

And then filp_open follows with "flag" totally ignored.

(akpm: this restores the code to Alan's original version.  Andi's "Support
piping into commands in /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern" (cset d025c9db) broke
it).

f46ba2235f [PATCH] fs: make nls_cp936.c handle some U00XY characters and U20AC correctly
Twenty characters in cp936 are not correctly handled.  They're all in the
U00 plane.  nls_cp936 converts all U00XY to XY but this is not correct for
some characters.(e.g.  U00B7 -> A1A4, U00A8 -> A1A7).

This problem is fixed by generating u2c_00 based on all c2u_xx and changing
uni2char() to give U00 plane a special handling.  The "€"(U20AC,80 in
cp936) is also be handled properly.

ccdea2f88b [PATCH] futex: remove unneeded barrier
When disassembling a kernel I found around over 90 sync Instructions from
mb, rmb and wmb calls in the kernel and only few of those make any sense to
me.  So here's the first one - I think the wmb() in kernel/futex.c is not
needed on uniprocessors so should become an smb_wmb().
