b2c99e3c70 [PATCH] EFI: keep physical table addresses in efi structure
Almost all users of the table addresses from the EFI system table want
physical addresses.  So rather than doing the pa->va->pa conversion, just keep
physical addresses in struct efi.

This fixes a DMI bug: the efi structure contained the physical SMBIOS address
on x86 but the virtual address on ia64, so dmi_scan_machine() used ioremap()
on a virtual address on ia64.

This is essentially the same as an earlier patch by Matt Tolentino:
	http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=112130292316281&w=2
except that this changes all table addresses, not just ACPI addresses.

Matt's original patch was backed out because it caused MCAs on HP sx1000
systems.  That problem is resolved by the ioremap() attribute checking added
for ia64.

136939a2b5 [PATCH] EFI, /dev/mem: simplify efi_mem_attribute_range()
Pass the size, not a pointer to the size, to efi_mem_attribute_range().

This function validates memory regions for the /dev/mem read/write/mmap paths.
The pointer allows arches to reduce the size of the range, but I think that's
unnecessary complexity.  Simplifying it will let me use
efi_mem_attribute_range() to improve the ia64 ioremap() implementation.

5a3a5a98b6 [PATCH] Add flush_kernel_dcache_page() API
We have a problem in a lot of emulated storage in that it takes a page from
get_user_pages() and does something like

kmap_atomic(page)
modify page
kunmap_atomic(page)

However, nothing has flushed the kernel cache view of the page before the
kunmap.  We need a lightweight API to do this, so this new API would
specifically be for flushing the kernel cache view of a user page which the
kernel has modified.  The driver would need to add
flush_kernel_dcache_page(page) before the final kunmap.

03beb07664 [PATCH] Add API for flushing Anon pages
Currently, get_user_pages() returns fully coherent pages to the kernel for
anything other than anonymous pages.  This is a problem for things like
fuse and the SCSI generic ioctl SG_IO which can potentially wish to do DMA
to anonymous pages passed in by users.

The fix is to add a new memory management API: flush_anon_page() which
is used in get_user_pages() to make anonymous pages coherent.

64a07bd82e [PATCH] protect remove_proc_entry
It has been discovered that the remove_proc_entry has a race in the removing
of entries in the proc file system that are siblings.  There's no protection
around the traversing and removing of elements that belong in the same
subdirectory.

This subdirectory list is protected in other areas by the BKL.  So the BKL was
at first used to protect this area too, but unfortunately, remove_proc_entry
may be called with spinlocks held.  The BKL may schedule, so this was not a
solution.

The final solution was to add a new global spin lock to protect this list,
called proc_subdir_lock.  This lock now protects the list in
remove_proc_entry, and I also went around looking for other areas that this
list is modified and added this protection there too.  Care must be taken
since these locations call several functions that may also schedule.

Since I don't see any location that these functions that modify the
subdirectory list are called by interrupts, the irqsave/restore versions of
the spin lock was _not_ used.

33d8675ea6 [PATCH] amiga: fix driver_register() return handling, remove zorro_module_init()
Remove the assumption that driver_register() returns the number of devices
bound to the driver.  In fact, it returns zero for success or a negative
error value.

zorro_module_init() used the device count to automatically unregister and
unload drivers that found no devices.  That might have worked at one time,
but has been broken for some time because zorro_register_driver() returned
either a negative error or a positive count (never zero).  So it could only
unregister on failure, when it's not needed anyway.

This functionality could be resurrected in individual drivers by counting
devices in their .probe() methods.

error value.

dio_module_init() used the device count to automatically unregister and
unload drivers that found no devices.  That might have worked at one time,
but has been broken for some time because dio_register_driver() returned
either a negative error or a positive count (never zero).  So it could only
unregister on failure, when it's not needed anyway.

This functionality could be resurrected in individual drivers by counting
devices in their .probe() methods.

Today I wondered about /dev/parport<n> after not seeing anything in
drivers/parport register char-major-99.  Having PP_MAJOR in
include/linux/major.h would've allowed me to more quickly determine that it
was the ppdev driver driving these.

c32ccd87bf [PATCH] inotify: lock avoidance with parent watch status in dentry
Previous inotify work avoidance is good when inotify is completely unused,
but it breaks down if even a single watch is in place anywhere in the
system.  Robin Holt notices that udev is one such culprit - it slows down a
512-thread application on a 512 CPU system from 6 seconds to 22 minutes.

Solve this by adding a flag in the dentry that tells inotify whether or not
its parent inode has a watch on it.  Event queueing to parent will skip
taking locks if this flag is cleared.  Setting and clearing of this flag on
all child dentries versus event delivery: this is no in terms of race
cases, and that was shown to be equivalent to always performing the check.

The essential behaviour is that activity occuring _after_ a watch has been
added and _before_ it has been removed, will generate events.

c08b8a4910 [PATCH] sys_alarm() unsigned signed conversion fixup
alarm() calls the kernel with an unsigend int timeout in seconds.  The
value is stored in the tv_sec field of a struct timeval to setup the
itimer.  The tv_sec field of struct timeval is of type long, which causes
the tv_sec value to be negative on 32 bit machines if seconds > INT_MAX.

Before the hrtimer merge (pre 2.6.16) such a negative value was converted
to the maximum jiffies timeout by the timeval_to_jiffies conversion.  It's
not clear whether this was intended or just happened to be done by the
timeval_to_jiffies code.

hrtimers expect a timeval in canonical form and treat a negative timeout as
already expired.  This breaks the legitimate usage of alarm() with a
timeout value > INT_MAX seconds.

For 32 bit machines it is therefor necessary to limit the internal seconds
value to avoid API breakage.  Instead of doing this in all implementations
of sys_alarm the duplicated sys_alarm code is moved into a common function
in itimer.c

This mode allows the user to select both languages of a bilingual transmission,

bilingual transmission, or it is not supported, then this mode should act like
V4L2_TUNER_MODE_STEREO.
This mode is introduced for PVR-like drivers where it is useful to be able to
record both languages of a bilingual broadcast.
