This patch introduces a new sysctl:
/proc/sys/kernel/panic_on_io_nmi
which defaults to 0 (off).
When enabled, the kernel panics when the kernel receives an NMI
caused by an IO error.
The IO error triggered NMI indicates a serious system
condition, which could result in IO data corruption. Rather
than contiuing, panicing and dumping might be a better choice,
so one can figure out what's causing the IO error.
This could be especially important to companies running IO
intensive applications where corruption must be avoided, e.g. a
bank's databases.
[ SuSE has been shipping it for a while, it was done at the
request of a large database vendor, for their users. ]

The PERF_EVENT_READ implementation made me realize we don't
actually need the sample_type int the output sample, since
we already have that in the perf_counter_attr information.
Therefore, remove the PERF_EVENT_MISC_OVERFLOW bit and the
event->type overloading, and imply put counter overflow
samples in a PERF_EVENT_SAMPLE type.
This also fixes the issue that event->type was only 32-bit
and sample_type had 64 usable bits.

With the introduction of PERF_EVENT_READ we have the
possibility to provide accurate counter values for
individual tasks in a task hierarchy.
However, due to the lazy context switching used for similar
counter contexts our current per task counts are way off.
In order to maintain some of the lazy switch benefits we
don't disable it out-right, but simply iterate the active
counters and flip the values between the contexts.
This only reads the counters but does not need to reprogram
the full PMU.

Provide a read() like event which can be used to log the
counter value at specific sites such as child->parent
folding on exit.
In order to be useful, we log the counter parent ID, not the
actual counter ID, since userspace can only relate parent
IDs to perf_counter_attr constructs.

The DMA mapping API cannot map on-stack addresses, as explained in
Documentation/DMA-mapping.txt. Convert the two cases of on-stack packet
payload buffers in firewire-core (payload of lock requests in the bus
manager work and in iso resource management) to slab-allocated memory.
There are a number on-stack buffers for quadlet write or quadlet read
requests in firewire-core and firewire-sbp2. These are harmless; they
are copied to/ from card driver internal DMA buffers since quadlet
payloads are inlined with packet headers.

This patch adds ioctls to vfs for compatibility with legacy XFS
pre-allocation ioctls (XFS_IOC_*RESVP*). The implementation

When the kernel is configured with CONFIG_TIMER_STATS but timer
stats are runtime disabled we still get calls to
__timer_stats_timer_set_start_info which initializes some
fields in the corresponding struct timer_list.
So add some quick checks in the the timer stats setup functions
to avoid function calls to __timer_stats_timer_set_start_info
when timer stats are disabled.
In an artificial workload that does nothing but playing ping
pong with a single tcp packet via loopback this decreases cpu
consumption by 1 - 1.5%.
This is part of a modified function trace output on SLES11:

There are some broken devices that report multiple DMA xfer modes
enabled at once (ATA spec doesn't allow it) but otherwise work fine
with DMA so just delete ide_id_dma_bug().
[ As discovered by detective work by Frans and Bart, due to how
handling of the ID block was handled before commit c419993
("ide-iops: only clear DMA words on setting DMA mode") this
check was always seeing zeros in the fields or other similar
garbage. Therefore this check wasn't actually checking anything.
Now that the tests actually check the real bits, all we see are
devices that trigger the check yet work perfectly fine, therefore
killing this useless check is the best thing to do. -DaveM ]

To support domain-isolation usages, the platform hardware must be
capable of uniquely identifying the requestor (source-id) for each
interrupt message. Without source-id checking for interrupt remapping
, a rouge guest/VM with assigned devices can launch interrupt attacks
to bring down anothe guest/VM or the VMM itself.
This patch adds source-id checking for interrupt remapping, and then
really isolates interrupts for guests/VMs with assigned devices.
Because PCI subsystem is not initialized yet when set up IOAPIC
entries, use read_pci_config_byte to access PCI config space directly.

After the recent changes that went into mm/vmscan.c to overhaul stuff, we
ended up with these warnings on no-mmu systems:
mm/vmscan.c: In function `shrink_page_list':
mm/vmscan.c:580: warning: unused variable `vm_flags'
mm/vmscan.c: In function `shrink_active_list':
mm/vmscan.c:1294: warning: `vm_flags' may be used uninitialized in this function
mm/vmscan.c:1242: note: `vm_flags' was declared here
This is because the no-mmu function defines page_referenced() to work on
the first argument only (the page). It does not clear the vm_flags given
to it because for no-mmu systems, they never actually get utilized. Since
that is no longer strictly true, we need to set vm_flags to 0 like
everyone else so gcc can do proper dead code elimination without annoying
us with unused warnings.

If a kthread happens to use get_user_pages() on an mm (as KSM does),
there's a chance that it will end up trying to read in a swap page, then
oops in grab_swap_token() because the kthread has no mm: GUP passes down
the right mm, so grab_swap_token() ought to be using it.
We have not identified a stronger case than KSM's daemon (not yet in
mainline), but the issue must have come up before, since RHEL has included
a fix for this for years (though a different fix, they just back out of
grab_swap_token if current->mm is unset: which is what we first proposed,
but using the right mm here seems more correct).

There already is a "default-on" trigger but there are problems with it.
For one, it's a inefficient way to do it and requires led trigger support
to be compiled in.
But the real reason is that is produces a glitch on the LED. The GPIO is
allocate with the LED *off*, then *later* when the trigger runs it is
turned back on. If the LED was already on via the GPIO's reset default or
action of the firmware, this produces a glitch where the LED goes from on
to off to on. While normally this is fast enough that it wouldn't be
noticeable to a human observer, there are still serious problems.
One is that there may be something else on the GPIO line, like a hardware
alarm or watchdog, that is fast enough to notice the glitch.
Another is that the kernel may panic before the LED is turned back on, thus
hanging with the LED in the wrong state. This is not just speculation, but
actually happened to me with an embedded system that has an LED which
should turn off when the kernel finishes booting, which was left in the
incorrect state due to a bug in the OF LED binding code.
We also let GPIO LEDs get their initial value from whatever the current
state of the GPIO line is. On some systems the LEDs are put into some
state by the firmware or hardware before Linux boots, and it is desired to
have them keep this state which is otherwise unknown to Linux.
This requires that the underlying GPIO driver support reading the value of
output GPIOs. Some drivers support this and some do not.
The platform device binding gains a field in the platform data
"default_state" that controls this. There are three constants defined to
select from on, off, or keeping the current state. The OpenFirmware
binding uses a property named "default-state" that can be set to "on",
"off", or "keep". The default if the property isn't present is off.

LEDs driver for National Semiconductor LP3944 Funlight Chip
http://www.national.com/pf/LP/LP3944.html
This helper chip can drive up to 8 leds, with two programmable DIM
modes; it could even be used as a gpio expander but this driver assumes
it is used as a led controller.
The DIM modes are used to set _blink_ patterns for leds, the pattern is
specified supplying two parameters:
- period: from 0s to 1.6s
- duty cycle: percentage of the period the led is on, from 0 to 100
LP3944 can be found on Motorola A910 smartphone, where it drives the rgb
leds, the camera flash light and the displays backlights.

The purpose of this patch is to improve the remote mount path lookup
support for distributed filesystems such as the NFSv4 client.
When given a mount command of the form "mount server:/foo/bar /mnt", the
NFSv4 client is required to look up the filehandle for "server:/", and
then look up each component of the remote mount path "foo/bar" in order
to find the directory that is actually going to be mounted on /mnt.
Following that remote mount path may involve following symlinks,
crossing server-side mount points and even following referrals to
filesystem volumes on other servers.
Since the standard VFS path lookup code already supports walking paths
that contain all these features (using in-kernel automounts for
following referrals) we would like to be able to reuse that rather than
duplicate the full path traversal functionality in the NFSv4 client code.
This patch therefore defines a VFS helper function create_mnt_ns(), that
sets up a temporary filesystem namespace and attaches a root filesystem to
it. It exports the create_mnt_ns() and put_mnt_ns() function for use by

SLAB uses get/put_online_cpus() which use a mutex which is itself only
initialized when cpu_hotplug_init() is called. Currently we hang suring
boot in SLAB due to doing that too late.
Reported by James Bottomley and Sachin Sant (and possibly others).
Debugged by Benjamin Herrenschmidt.
This just removes the dynamic initialization of the data structures, and
replaces it with a static one, avoiding this dependency entirely, and
removing one unnecessary special initcall.

Some filesystems need to set lockdep map for i_mutex differently for
different directories. For example OCFS2 has system directories (for
orphan inode tracking and for gathering all system files like journal
or quota files into a single place) which have different locking
locking rules than standard directories. For a filesystem setting
lockdep map is naturaly done when the inode is read but we have to
modify unlock_new_inode() not to overwrite the lockdep map the filesystem
has set.
