148f97292e [IPV4]: Reset scope when changing address
This bug did bite at least one user, who did have to resort to rebooting
the system after an "ifconfig eth0 127.0.0.1" typo.

Deleting the address and adding a new is a less intrusive workaround.
But I still beleive this is a bug that should be fixed.  Some way or
another.

Another possibility would be to remove the scope mangling based on
address.  This will always be incomplete (are 127/8 the only address
space with host scope requirements?)

We set the scope to RT_SCOPE_HOST if an IPv4 interface is configured
with a loopback address (127/8).  The scope is never reset, and will
remain set to RT_SCOPE_HOST after changing the address. This patch
resets the scope if the address is changed again, to restore normal
functionality.

622eaec613 [SPARC64]: Loosen checks in exception table handling.
Some parts of the kernel now do things like do *_user() accesses while
set_fs(KERNEL_DS) that fault on purpose.

See, for example, the code added by changeset
a0c1e9073e ("futex: runtime enable pi
and robust functionality").

That trips up the ASI sanity checking we make in do_kernel_fault().

Just remove it for now.  Maybe we can add it back later with an added
conditional which looks at the current get_fs() value.

b2d7c7f7a6 arch/sh/drivers/dma/dma-sh.c: Correct use of ! and &
In commit e6bafba5b4, a bug was fixed that
involved converting !x & y to !(x & y).  The code below shows the same
pattern, and thus should perhaps be fixed in the same way.

This is not tested and clearly changes the semantics, so it is only
something to consider.

The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows:

Interrupt moderation low threshold value was incorrectly triggering,

The impact was the timer was likely to become 40usecs and get stuck

30da7cff87 RDMA/nes: Fix CRC endianness for RDMA connection establishment on big-endian
With commit ef19454b ("[LIB] crc32c: Keep intermediate crc state in
cpu order"), the behavior of crc32c changes on big-endian platforms.

Our algorithm expects the previous behavior; otherwise we have RDMA
connection establishment failure on big-endian platforms like powerpc.
Apply cpu_to_le32() to value returned by crc32c() to get the previous
behavior.

12c247a671 x86: fix boot failure on 486 due to TSC breakage
> Diffing dmesg between git7 and git8 doesn't sched any light since
 > git8 also removed the printouts of the x86 caps as they were being
 > initialised and updated. I'm currently adding those printouts back
 > in the hope of seeing where and when the caps get broken.

That turned out to be very illuminating:

 --- dmesg-2.6.24-git7	2008-02-24 18:01:25.295851000 +0100
 +++ dmesg-2.6.24-git8	2008-02-24 18:01:25.530358000 +0100
 ...
 CPU: After generic identify, caps: 00000003 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000

 CPU: After all inits, caps: 00000003 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000
+CPU: After applying cleared_cpu_caps, caps: 00000013 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000

Notice how the TSC cap bit goes from Off to On.

(The first two lines are printout loops from -git7 forward-ported
to -git8, the third line is the same printout loop added just after
the xor-with-cleared_cpu_caps[] loop.)

Here's how the breakage occurs:
1. arch/x86/kernel/tsc_32.c:tsc_init() sees !cpu_has_tsc,
   so bails and calls setup_clear_cpu_cap(X86_FEATURE_TSC).
2. include/asm-x86/cpufeature.h:setup_clear_cpu_cap(bit) clears
   the bit in boot_cpu_data and sets it in cleared_cpu_caps
3. arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.c:identify_cpu() XORs all caps
   in with cleared_cpu_caps
   HOWEVER, at this point c->x86_capability correctly has TSC
   Off, cleared_cpu_caps has TSC On, so the XOR incorrectly
   sets TSC to On in c->x86_capability, with disastrous results.

The real bug is that clearing bits with XOR only works if the
bits are known to be 1 prior to the XOR, and that's not true here.

A simple fix is to convert the XOR to AND-NOT instead. The following
patch does that, and allows my 486 to boot 2.6.25-rc kernels again.

[ mingo@elte.hu: fixed a similar bug in setup_64.c as well. ]

a given stack trace entry was deemed reliable or not, simply because
save_stack_trace() does not record this information. (Perhaps needless
to say, this makes the saved stack traces A LOT harder to read, and
probably with no other benefits, since debugging features that use
save_stack_trace() most likely also require frame pointers, etc.)

This patch reverts to the old behaviour of only recording the reliable trace
entries for saved stack traces.

4147c8747e x86: don't print a warning when MTRR are blank and running in KVM
Inside a KVM virtual machine the MTRRs are usually blank. This confuses Linux
and causes a warning message at boot. This patch removes that warning message
when running Linux as a KVM guest.

To fix this we pass in pt_regs by pointer.

ce28b9864b x86: fix vsyscall wreckage
based on a report from Arne Georg Gleditsch about user-space apps
misbehaving after toggling /proc/sys/kernel/vsyscall64, a review
of the code revealed that the "NOP patching" done there is
fundamentally unsafe for a number of reasons:

1) the patching code runs without synchronizing other CPUs

2) it inserts NOPs even if there is no clock source which provides vread

3) when the clock source changes to one without vread we run in
   exactly the same problem as in #2

4) if nobody toggles the proc entry from 1 to 0 and to 1 again, then
   the syscall is not patched out

as a result it is possible to break user-space via this patching.
The only safe thing for now is to remove the patching.

This code was broken since v2.6.21.

d4afe41418 x86: rename KERNEL_TEXT_SIZE => KERNEL_IMAGE_SIZE
The KERNEL_TEXT_SIZE constant was mis-named, as we not only map the kernel
text but data, bss and init sections as well.

That name led me on the wrong path with the KERNEL_TEXT_SIZE regression,
because i knew how big of _text_ my images have and i knew about the 40 MB
"text" limit so i wrongly thought to be on the safe side of the 40 MB limit
with my 29 MB of text, while the total image size was slightly above 40 MB.

88f3aec7af x86: fix spontaneous reboot with allyesconfig bzImage
recently the 64-bit allyesconfig bzImage kernel started spontaneously
rebooting during early bootup.

after a few fun hours spent with early init debugging, it turns out
that we've got this rather annoying limit on the size of the kernel
image:

      #define KERNEL_TEXT_SIZE  (40*1024*1024)

which limit my vmlinux just happened to pass:

       text           data       bss        dec       hex   filename
   29703744        4222751   8646224   42572719   2899baf   vmlinux

40 MB is 42572719 bytes, so my vmlinux was just 1.5% above this limit :-/

So it happily crashed right in head_64.S, which - as we all know - is
the most debuggable code in the whole architecture ;-)

So increase the limit to allow an up to 128MB kernel image to be mapped.
(should anyone be that crazy or lazy)

We have a full 4K of pagetable (level2_kernel_pgt) allocated for these
mappings already, so there's no RAM overhead and the limit was rather
pointless and arbitrary.

829157be59 x86: handle BIOSes which terminate e820 with CF=1 and no SMAP
The proper way to terminate the e820 chain is with %ebx == 0 on the
last legitimate memory block.  However, several BIOSes don't do that
and instead return error (CF = 1) when trying to read off the end of
the list.  For this error return, %eax doesn't necessarily return the
SMAP signature -- correctly so, since %ah should contain an error code
in this case.

To deal with some particularly broken BIOSes, we clear the entire e820
chain if the SMAP signature is missing in the middle, indicating a
plain insane e820 implementation.  However, we need to make the test
for CF = 1 before the SMAP check.

This fixes at least one HP laptop (nc6400) for which none of the
memory-probing methods (e820, e801, 88) functioned fully according to
spec.
