Impact: widen the reach of the low-memory-protect DMI quirk
Phoenix BIOSes variously identify their vendor as "Phoenix Technologies,
LTD" or "Phoenix Technologies LTD" (without the comma.)
This patch makes the identification string in the bad_bios_dmi_table
more general (following a suggestion by Ingo Molnar), so that both
versions are handled.
Again, the patched file compiles cleanly and the patch has been tested
successfully on my machine.

this compiler warning:
arch/x86/kernel/ds.c: In function 'ds_request':
arch/x86/kernel/ds.c:368: warning: 'context' may be used uninitialized in this function
Shows that the code flow in ds_request() is buggy - it goes into
the unlock+release-context path even when the context is not allocated
yet.
First allocate the context, then do the other checks.
Also, take care with GFP allocations under the ds_lock spinlock.

Impact: fix incorrectly marked unstable TSC clock
Patch (commit 0d12cdd "sched: improve sched_clock() performance") has
a regression on one of the test systems here.
With the patch, I see:
checking TSC synchronization [CPU#0 -> CPU#1]:
Measured 28 cycles TSC warp between CPUs, turning off TSC clock.
Marking TSC unstable due to check_tsc_sync_source failed
Whereas, without the patch syncs pass fine on all CPUs:
checking TSC synchronization [CPU#0 -> CPU#1]: passed.
Due to this, TSC is marked unstable, when it is not actually unstable.
This is because syncs in check_tsc_wrap() goes away due to this commit.
As per the discussion on this thread, correct way to fix this is to add
explicit syncs as below?

Impact: fix guest kernel crash with CONFIG_XEN_SCRUB_PAGES=y
Jens noticed that scrub_page() has a buggy unmap of the wrong
thing. (virtual address instead of page)
Linus pointed out that the whole scrub_page() code is an unnecessary
reimplementation of clear_highpage() to begin with.
Just use clear_highpage() rather than reimplementing it poorly.

Fix the __pfn_to_page(pfn) macro so that it doesn't evaluate its
argument twice in the CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM=y case, because 'pfn' may
be a result of a funtion call having side effects.
For example, the hibernation code applies pfn_to_page(pfn) to the
result of a function returning the pfn corresponding to the next set
bit in a bitmap and the current bit position is modified on each
call. This leads to "interesting" failures for CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM=y
due to the current behavior of __pfn_to_page(pfn).

in scheduler-intense workloads native_read_tsc() overhead accounts for
20% of the system overhead:
659567 system_call 41222.9375
686796 schedule 435.7843
718382 __switch_to 665.1685

1883122 native_read_tsc 55385.9412
9761990 total 2.8468
this is large part due to the rdtsc_barrier() that is done before
and after reading the TSC.
But sched_clock() is not a precise clock in the GTOD sense, using such
barriers is completely pointless. So remove the barriers and only use
them in vget_cycles().
This improves lat_ctx performance by about 5%.

# *DOCUMENTATION*
When initializing an uninitialized block group in ext4_new_inode(),
its block group checksum must be re-calculated. This fixes a race
when several threads try to allocate a new inode in an UNINIT'd group.
There is some question whether we need to be initializing the block
bitmap in ext4_new_inode() at all, but for now, if we are going to
init the block group, let's eliminate the race.

Xen requires that all mappings of pagetable pages are read-only, so
that they can't be updated illegally. As a result, if a page is being
turned into a pagetable page, we need to make sure all its mappings
are RO.
If the page had been used for ioremap or vmalloc, it may still have
left over mappings as a result of not having been lazily unmapped.
This change makes sure we explicitly mop them all up before pinning
the page.
Unlike aliases created by kmap, the there can be vmalloc aliases even
for non-high pages, so we must do the flush unconditionally.

__scm_destroy() walks the list of file descriptors in the scm_fp_list
pointed to by the scm_cookie argument.
Those, in turn, can close sockets and invoke __scm_destroy() again.
There is nothing which limits how deeply this can occur.
The idea for how to fix this is from Linus. Basically, we do all of
the fput()s at the top level by collecting all of the scm_fp_list
objects hit by an fput(). Inside of the initial __scm_destroy() we
keep running the list until it is empty.

Fix the hrtimer_add_expires_ns() function. It should take a 'u64 ns' argument,
but rather takes an 'unsigned long ns' argument - which might only be 32-bits.
On FRV, this results in the kernel locking up because hrtimer_forward() passes
the result of a 64-bit multiplication to this function, for which the compiler
discards the top 32-bits - something that didn't happen when ktime_add_ns() was
called directly.
