The prevent_tail_call() macro works around the problem of the compiler
clobbering argument words on the stack, which for asmlinkage functions
is the caller's (user's) struct pt_regs. The tail/sibling-call
optimization is not the only way that the compiler can decide to use
stack argument words as scratch space, which we have to prevent.
Other optimizations can do it too.
Until we have new compiler support to make "asmlinkage" binding on the
compiler's own use of the stack argument frame, we have work around all
the manifestations of this issue that crop up.
More cases seem to be prevented by also keeping the incoming argument
variables live at the end of the function. This makes their original
stack slots attractive places to leave those variables, so the compiler
tends not clobber them for something else. It's still no guarantee, but
it handles some observed cases that prevent_tail_call() did not.

This patch also resolves hangs on boot:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/2/23/263http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10093
The bug was causing once-in-few-reboots 10-15 sec wait during boot on
certain laptops.
Earlier commit 40d6a14662 added
smp_call_function in cpu_idle_wait() to kick cpus that are in tickless
idle. Looking at cpu_idle_wait code at that time, code seemed to be
over-engineered for a case which is rarely used (while changing idle
handler).
Below is a simplified version of cpu_idle_wait, which just makes a dummy
smp_call_function to all cpus, to make them come out of old idle handler
and start using the new idle handler. It eliminates code in the idle
loop to handle cpu_idle_wait.

Handle update_mmu_cache() being called when current->mm is NULL.
We cache static TLB mappings for the current page table in DAMPR4 and DAMPR5
on the theory that the next data lookup is likely to be in the same general

can't get this information if we can't access the appropriate mm_struct.
If current->mm is NULL, we just clear the cache in the knowledge that the TLB

This fixes kernel bugzilla 10371.
As reported by M.Piechaczek@osmosys.tv, if we try to grab a
char sized socket option value, as in:
unsigned char ttl = 255;
socklen_t len = sizeof(ttl);
setsockopt(socket, IPPROTO_IP, IP_MULTICAST_TTL, &ttl, &len);
getsockopt(socket, IPPROTO_IP, IP_MULTICAST_TTL, &ttl, &len);
The ttl returned will be wrong on big-endian, and on both little-
endian and big-endian the next three bytes in userspace are written
with garbage.
It's because of this test in do_ip_getsockopt():
if (len < sizeof(int) && len > 0 && val>=0 && val<255) {
It should allow a 'val' of 255 to pass here, but it doesn't so it
copies a full 'int' back to userspace.
On little-endian that will write the correct value into the location
but it spams on the next three bytes in userspace. On big endian it
writes the wrong value into the location and spams the next three
bytes.

When switching scheduler from cfq, cfq_exit_queue() does not clear
ioc->ioc_data, leaving a dangling pointer that can deceive the following
lookups when the iosched is switched back to cfq. The pattern that can
trigger that is the following:
- elevator switch from cfq to something else;
- module unloading, with elv_unregister() that calls cfq_free_io_context()
on ioc freeing the cic (via the .trim op);
- module gets reloaded and the elevator switches back to cfq;
- reallocation of a cic at the same address as before (with a valid key).
To fix it just assign NULL to ioc_data in __cfq_exit_single_io_context(),
that is called from the regular exit path and from the elevator switching
code. The only path that frees a cic and is not covered is the error handling
one, but cic's freed in this way are never cached in ioc_data.

Since older kernels may look in the sb_bad_features2 slot for flags,
rather than zeroing it out on fixup, we should make it equal to the
sb_features2 value.
Also, if the ATTR2 flag was not found prior to features2 fixup, it was not
set in the mount flags, so re-check after the fixup so that the current
session will use the feature.
Also fix up the comments to reflect these changes.

snd_es1968_ac97_read() calls snd_es1968_ac97_wait() first outside a locked

snd_es1968_ac97_wait() has a polling loop with a cond_resched() inside it..
which sleeps, so the second call is invalid.
This patch adds a version of the wait function that just pure polls. While
this is not very elegant in principle, it's very likely the easiest thing to
do here, we already checked if the chip was ready (while yielding) just
before, so it is very unlikely to take a long time here.

is "true" if a node has memory for HIGHMEM. (If CONFIG_HIGHMEM=n, always
"true")
This check is used for testing whether we can use kmalloc_node() on a node.
Then, if there is a node which only contains HIGHMEM, the system will call
kmalloc_node() which doesn't contain memory for the kernel. If it happens
under SLUB, the kernel will panic. I think this only happens on x86_32-numa.

When __blk_end_request returns nonzero, it means that the request was

a packet request ends normally, but with residue (e.g. when scsi_id

The fix is to make sure that arguments passed to __blk_end_request

The transferred length is indicated to applications by adjusting
