The on-disk media specification field in FAT is only 8-bits, so testing for
<=0xff is pointless, and can generate a "comparison is always true due to
limited range of data type" warning.
While we're there, convert FAT_VALID_MEDIA() into a C function - the present
implementation is buggy: it generates either one or two references to its
argument.

Currently, free_clusters is not updated until it is trusted, because
Windows doesn't update it correctly.
But if user is using FAT driver of Linux, it updates free_clusters
correctly. Instead, this updates it even if it's untrusted, so if
free_clustes is correct, now keep correct value.

Normally utime(2) checks current process is owner of the file, or it

Quota files cannot have tails because quota_write and quota_read functions do
not support them. So far when quota files did have tail, we just refused to
turn quotas on it. Sadly this check has been wrong and so there are now
plenty installations where quota files don't have NOTAIL flag set and so now
after fixing the check, they suddently fail to turn quotas on. Since it's
easy to unpack the tail from kernel, do this from reiserfs_quota_on() which
solves the problem and is generally nicer to users anyway.

Improve write performance by preventing the delayed_list from dumping all its
stripes onto the handle_list in one shot. Delayed stripes are now further
delayed by being held on the 'hold_list'. The 'hold_list' is bypassed when:
* a STRIPE_IO_STARTED stripe is found at the head of 'handle_list'
* 'handle_list' is empty and i/o is being done to satisfy full stripe-width
write requests
* 'bypass_count' is less than 'bypass_threshold'. By default the threshold
is 1, i.e. every other stripe handled is a preread stripe provided the
top two conditions are false.
Benchmark data:
System: 2x Xeon 5150, 4x SATA, mem=1GB
Baseline: 2.6.24-rc7
Configuration: mdadm --create /dev/md0 /dev/sd[b-e] -n 4 -l 5 --assume-clean
Test1: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/md0 bs=1024k count=2048
* patched: +33% (stripe_cache_size = 256), +25% (stripe_cache_size = 512)
Test2: tiobench --size 2048 --numruns 5 --block 4096 --block 131072 (XFS)
* patched: +13%
* patched + preread_bypass_threshold = 0: +37%
Changes since v1:
* reduce bypass_threshold from (chunk_size / sectors_per_chunk) to (1) and
make it configurable. This defaults to fairness and modest performance
gains out of the box.
Changes since v2:
* [[email protected]]: kill STRIPE_PRIO_HI and preread_needed as they are not
necessary, the important change was clearing STRIPE_DELAYED in
add_stripe_bio and this has been moved out to make_request for the hang
fix.
* [[email protected]]: simplify get_priority_stripe
* [[email protected]]: reset the bypass_count when ->hold_list is
sampled empty (+11%)
* [[email protected]]: decrement the bypass_count at the detection
of stripes being naturally promoted off of hold_list +2%. Note, resetting
bypass_count instead of decrementing on these events yields +4% but that is
probably too aggressive.
Changes since v3:
* cosmetic fixups

Adds different wiring mode for the LCD screen.
The legacy atmel LCDC IP uses a non standard color mode, "BGR-555.1" instead
"RGB-565". The major part of graphic stacks for embedded systems uses only
"RGB-565". It is possible to swap LCD IOs instead of doing this bit swapping
by software (See application note AT91SAM9 LCD Controller
http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/doc6300.pdf)
This wire swapping is done on the at91sam9rl-ek board (board code
using this patch will come later).

turning off display power (more than just the backlight) and stopping the

Prior to suspend, we allocate and switch to a new VT; after suspend, we switch
back to the original VT. This can be slow, and is completely unnecessary if
the framebuffer we're using can restore video properly.
This adds a hook that allows drivers to select whether or not to do this vt
switch, and changes the gxfb driver to call this hook. It also adds a module
param to gxfb to allow controlling of the vt switch (defaulting to no switch).
(Note: I'm not convinced that console_sem is the best way to protect this, but
we should probably have some form of locking..)

This cleans up a few MSR-using drivers in the following manner:
- Ensures MSRs are all defined in asm/geode.h, rather than in misc
places
- Makes the naming consistent; cs553[56] ones begin with MSR_,
GX-specific ones start with MSR_GX_, and LX-specific ones start
with MSR_LX_. Also, make the names match the data sheet.
- Use MSR names rather than numbers in source code
- Document the fact that the LX's MSR_PADSEL has the wrong value
in the data sheet. That's, uh, good to note.

As long as one or more GPIOs on a gpio chip are used its driver should not be
unloaded. The existing mechanism (gpiochip_remove failure) doesn't address
that, since rmmod can no longer be made to fail by having the cleanup code
report errors. Module usecounts are the solution.
Assuming standard "initialize struct to zero" policies, this change won't
affect SOC platform drivers. However, drivers for external chips (on I2C and
SPI busses) should be updated if they can be built as modules.

Currently, we just turn quotas off on remount of filesystem to read-only
state. The patch below adds necessary framework so that we can turn quotas
off on remount RO but we are able to automatically reenable them again when
filesystem is remounted to RW state. All we need to do is to keep references
to inodes of quota files when remounting RO and using these references to
reenable quotas when remounting RW.

Prohibit users from probing preempt_schedule(). One way of prohibiting the
user from probing functions is by marking such functions with __kprobes. But
this method doesn't work for those functions, which are already marked to
different section like preempt_schedule() (belongs to __sched section). So we
use blacklist approach to refuse user from probing these functions.
In blacklist approach we populate the blacklisted function's starting address
and its size in kprobe_blacklist structure. Then we verify the user specified
address against start and end of the blacklisted function. So any attempt to
register probe on blacklisted functions will be rejected.

Filesystem capability support makes it possible to do away with (set)uid-0
based privilege and use capabilities instead. That is, with filesystem
support for capabilities but without this present patch, it is (conceptually)
possible to manage a system with capabilities alone and never need to obtain
privilege via (set)uid-0.
Of course, conceptually isn't quite the same as currently possible since few
user applications, certainly not enough to run a viable system, are currently
prepared to leverage capabilities to exercise privilege. Further, many
applications exist that may never get upgraded in this way, and the kernel
will continue to want to support their setuid-0 base privilege needs.
Where pure-capability applications evolve and replace setuid-0 binaries, it is
desirable that there be a mechanisms by which they can contain their
privilege. In addition to leveraging the per-process bounding and inheritable
sets, this should include suppressing the privilege of the uid-0 superuser
from the process' tree of children.
The feature added by this patch can be leveraged to suppress the privilege
associated with (set)uid-0. This suppression requires CAP_SETPCAP to
initiate, and only immediately affects the 'current' process (it is inherited
through fork()/exec()). This reimplementation differs significantly from the
historical support for securebits which was system-wide, unwieldy and which
has ultimately withered to a dead relic in the source of the modern kernel.
With this patch applied a process, that is capable(CAP_SETPCAP), can now drop

This hack, "base = MAX_NR_ZONES", at __GFP_THISNODE was used for old
zonliests.
Now, new zonelist[] have a list for __GFP_THISNODE and this hack is incorrect.
Should be removed.

alloc_bootmem_section() can allocate specified section's area. This is used
for usemap to keep same section with pgdat by later patch.

This patch set is to free pages which is allocated by bootmem for
memory-hotremove. Some structures of memory management are allocated by
bootmem. ex) memmap, etc.
To remove memory physically, some of them must be freed according to
circumstance. This patch set makes basis to free those pages, and free
memmaps.
Basic my idea is using remain members of struct page to remember information
of users of bootmem (section number or node id). When the section is
removing, kernel can confirm it. By this information, some issues can be
solved.
1) When the memmap of removing section is allocated on other
section by bootmem, it should/can be free.
2) When the memmap of removing section is allocated on the
same section, it shouldn't be freed. Because the section has to be
logical memory offlined already and all pages must be isolated against
page allocater. If it is freed, page allocator may use it which will
be removed physically soon.
3) When removing section has other section's memmap,
kernel will be able to show easily which section should be removed
before it for user. (Not implemented yet)
4) When the above case 2), the page isolation will be able to check and skip
memmap's page when logical memory offline (offline_pages()).
Current page isolation code fails in this case because this page is
just reserved page and it can't distinguish this pages can be
removed or not. But, it will be able to do by this patch.
(Not implemented yet.)
5) The node information like pgdat has similar issues. But, this
will be able to be solved too by this.
(Not implemented yet, but, remembering node id in the pages.)
Fortunately, current bootmem allocator just keeps PageReserved flags,
and doesn't use any other members of page struct. The users of
bootmem doesn't use them too.
This patch:
This is to register information which is node or section's id. Kernel can
distinguish which node/section uses the pages allcated by bootmem. This is
basis for hot-remove sections or nodes.

Huge ptes have a special type on s390 and cannot be handled with the standard
pte functions in certain cases, e.g. because of a different location of the
invalid bit. This patch adds some new architecture- specific functions to
hugetlb common code, as a prerequisite for the s390 large page support.
This won't affect other architectures in functionality, but I need to add some
new dummy inline functions to the headers.

A cow break on a hugetlbfs page with page_count > 1 will set a new pte with
set_huge_pte_at(), w/o any tlb flush operation. The old pte will remain in
the tlb and subsequent write access to the page will result in a page fault
loop, for as long as it may take until the tlb is flushed from somewhere else.
This patch introduces an architecture-specific huge_ptep_clear_flush()
function, which is called before the the set_huge_pte_at() in hugetlb_cow().
ATTENTION: This is just a nop on all architectures for now, the s390
implementation will come with our large page patch later. Other architectures
should define their own huge_ptep_clear_flush() if needed.

This patch moves all architecture functions for hugetlb to architecture header
files (include/asm-foo/hugetlb.h) and converts all macros to inline functions.
It also removes (!) ARCH_HAS_HUGEPAGE_ONLY_RANGE,
ARCH_HAS_HUGETLB_FREE_PGD_RANGE, ARCH_HAS_PREPARE_HUGEPAGE_RANGE,
ARCH_HAS_SETCLEAR_HUGE_PTE and ARCH_HAS_HUGETLB_PREFAULT_HOOK.
Getting rid of the ARCH_HAS_xxx #ifdef and macro fugliness should increase
readability and maintainability, at the price of some code duplication. An
asm-generic common part would have reduced the loc, but we would end up with
new ARCH_HAS_xxx defines eventually.
