68ac64cd3f [SERIAL] Clean up serial locking when obtaining a reference to a port
The locking for the uart_port is over complicated, and can be
simplified if we introduce a flag to indicate that a port is "dead"
and will be removed.

This also helps the validator because it removes a case of non-nested
unlock ordering.

f807221ded [PATCH] spufs: Disable local interrupts for SPE hash_page calls.
This patch disables and saves local interrupts during
hash_page processing for SPE contexts.

We have to do it explicitly in the spu_irq_class_1_bottom

implicitly by using SA_INTERRUPT to disable interrupts while
in the handler.

For the IBM Thinkpad X30 using vesafb as the console driver, successful resume

40ac6b204c [PATCH] s390: fix slab debugging
With CONFIG_SLAB_DEBUG=y networking over qeth doesn't work.  The problem is
that the qib structure embedded in the qeth_irq structure needs an alignment
of 256 but kmalloc only guarantees an alignment of 8.  When using SLAB
debugging the alignment of qeth_irq is not sufficient for the embedded qib
structure which causes all users of qdio (qeth and zfcp) to stop working.
Allocate qeth_irq structure with __get_free_page.  That wastes a small amount
of memory (~2500 bytes) per online adapter.

Running abnormal VM splits causes weird problems - people can set non-standard

"[stable] 2.6.16.6 breaks java...  sort of" email thread.

So we need to make this option harder to set.  Use CONFIG_EMBEDDED for this.

CONFIG_EMBEDDED isn't really the right thing to use, but there's nothing else

35076bdfa1 [PATCH] enable X86_PC for HOTPLUG_CPU
CPU_HOTPLUG has race conditions when we use broadcast mode IPI.

- First we introduced no_broadcast option
    (see include/asm-i386/mach-default/mach_ipi.h)

- x86_64 solved it by using physical flat mode (same as bigsmp on i386)
  since this will not use broadcast shortcuts for IPI.

- We switched to use bigsmp on i386 so that we can have same handling as
  x86_64, but apparently this caused an error message, if kernel was
  compiled without X86_GENERICARCH, X86_BIGSMP.  The message "You have >8
  CPUS..." which was bogus and misleading, and only indicated one of the
  above ARCH wasnt selected.

So we do not switch to automatic bigsmp for HOTPLUG_CPU support in i386
until the other related config dependencies for SMP_SUSPEND etc can be done
right.

catch machine checks after poking at some random I/O address. I'd seen
it happen on my dual G4 with serial ports until we fixed those to use
OF, but now other users are reporting it with i8042.

This expands the use of check_legacy_ioport() to avoid that situation
even on 32-bit kernels.

f749edae5e [PATCH] powerpc64: Fix loading of modules without a .toc section
Normally, ppc64 module .ko files contain a table-of-contents (.toc)
section, but if the module doesn't reference any static or external
data or external procedures, it is possible for gcc/binutils to
generate a .ko that doesn't have a .toc.  Currently the module
loader refuses to load such a module, since it needs the address
of the .toc section to use in relocations.

This patch fixes the problem by using the address of the .stubs
section instead, which is an acceptable substitute in this situation.

f709bfac48 powerpc/pseries: Tell firmware our capabilities on new machines
This adds code to call a new firmware method to tell the firmware
what machines and capabilities (such as VMX/Altivec) we support.
This will be needed on POWER5+ and POWER6 machines, and it has no
effect on past and current machines.

f10a04c034 [PATCH] powerpc: Fix pagetable bloat for hugepages
At present, ARCH=powerpc kernels can waste considerable space in
pagetables when making large hugepage mappings.  Hugepage PTEs go in
PMD pages, but each PMD page maps 256M and so contains only 16
hugepage PTEs (128 bytes of data), but takes up a 1024 byte
allocation.  With CONFIG_PPC_64K_PAGES enabled (64k base page size),
the situation is worse.  Now hugepage PTEs are at the PTE page level
(also mapping 256M), so we store 16 hugepage PTEs in a 64k allocation.

The PowerPC MMU already means that any 256M region is either all
hugepage, or all normal pages.  Thus, with some care, we can use a
different allocation for the hugepage PTE tables and only allocate the
128 bytes necessary.

1df57c0c21 [IA64] enable dumps to capture second page of kernel stack
In SLES10 (2.6.16) crash dumping (in my experience, LKCD) is unable to
capture the second page of the 2-page task/stack allocation.
This is particularly troublesome for dump analysis, as the stack traceback
cannot be done.
  (A similar convention is probably needed throughout the kernel to make
   kernel multi-page allocations detectable for dumping)

Multi-page kernel allocations are represented by the single page structure
associated with the first page of the allocation.  The page structures
associated with the other pages are unintialized.

If the dumper is selecting only kernel pages it has no way to identify
any but the first page of the allocation.

The fix is to make the task/stack allocation a compound page.
