Anton Blanchard ab87e8dc88 [POWERPC] Fix corruption in hcall9
It looks to me like we are corrupting r12 in the hcall9 function.
Although we have r0 free we cant use offsets against it, so save
away r12 in there instead.  r12 holds the ninth return value from
the hypervisor call, so without this fix, the caller will see the
wrong value for the ninth element in the array that gets the return
values.

This proc file should only be created if we are running on legacy
iSeries.  Since we can now run the same kernel on legacy iSeries and
other machines, we currently get the /proc/iSeries directory and the
files in it on non-iSeries machines, and accessing them causes an oops
in some cases.  This and the following patches make sure that these
files are not created on non-iSeries machines, thus avoiding the oops.

Using device_initcall makes it happen for every platform that
compiles this file in. This is really bad, for obvious reasons.

Instead, we use the .init field of the machine description. If
the platform needs the hook to do something specific it can provides
its own function and call mpc52xx_declare_of_platform_devices from
there. If not, the mpc52xx_declare_of_platform_devices function can
directly be used as the init hook.

David Woodhouse 007d88d042 [POWERPC] Fix manual assembly WARN_ON() in enter_rtas().
When we switched over to the generic BUG mechanism we forgot to change
the assembly code which open-codes a WARN_ON() in enter_rtas(), so the
bug table got corrupted.

This patch provides an EMIT_BUG_ENTRY macro for use in assembly code,
and uses it in entry_64.S. Tested with CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE on ppc64
but not without -- I tried to turn it off but it wouldn't go away; I
suspect Aunt Tillie probably needed it.

This version gets __FILE__ and __LINE__ right in the assembly version --
rather than saying include/asm-powerpc/bug.h line 21 every time which is
a little suboptimal.

David Gibson 6aa3e1e944 [POWERPC] Fix bogus BUG_ON() in in hugetlb_get_unmapped_area()
The powerpc specific version of hugetlb_get_unmapped_area() makes some
unwarranted assumptions about what checks have been made to its
parameters by its callers.  This will lead to a BUG_ON() if a 32-bit
process attempts to make a hugepage mapping which extends above
TASK_SIZE (4GB).

I'm not sure if these assumptions came about because they were valid
with earlier versions of the get_unmapped_area() path, or if it was
always broken.  Nonetheless this patch fixes the logic, and removes
the crash.

This reverts commit b026872601, which has

through multiple interfaces.

Patches to fix this cleanup exist (and have been confirmed to work fine
at least for some of the affected cases) and we'll revisit it for
2.6.21, but this late in the -rc series we're better off just reverting
the incomplete commit that caused the problems.

Russell King 6020dff092 [ARM] Resolve fuse and direct-IO failures due to missing cache flushes
fuse does not work on ARM due to cache incoherency issues - fuse wants
to use get_user_pages() to copy data from the current process into
kernel space.  However, since this accesses userspace via the kernel
mapping, the kernel mapping can be out of date wrt data written to
userspace.

This can lead to unpredictable behaviour (in the case of fuse) or data
corruption for direct-IO.

This resolves debian bug #402876

Russell King a6f36be326 [ARM] pass vma for flush_anon_page()
Since get_user_pages() may be used with processes other than the
current process and calls flush_anon_page(), flush_anon_page() has to
cope in some way with non-current processes.

It may not be appropriate, or even desirable to flush a region of
virtual memory cache in the current process when that is different to
the process that we want the flush to occur for.

Therefore, pass the vma into flush_anon_page() so that the architecture
can work out whether the 'vmaddr' is for the current process or not.

Evgeniy Dushistov d63b70902b [PATCH] fix garbage instead of zeroes in UFS
Looks like this is the problem, which point Al Viro some time ago:

ufs's get_block callback allocates 16k of disk at a time, and links that
entire 16k into the file's metadata.  But because get_block is called for only
a single buffer_head (a 2k buffer_head in this case?) we are only able to tell
the VFS that this 2k is buffer_new().

So when ufs_getfrag_block() is later called to map some more data in the file,
and when that data resides within the remaining 14k of this fragment,
ufs_getfrag_block() will incorrectly return a !buffer_new() buffer_head.

I don't see _right_ way to do nullification of whole block, if use inode
page cache, some pages may be outside of inode limits (inode size), and
will be lost; if use blockdev page cache it is possible to zero real data,
if later inode page cache will be used.

The simpliest way, as can I see usage of block device page cache, but not only
mark dirty, but also sync it during "nullification".  I use my simple tests
collection, which I used for check that create,open,write,read,close works on
ufs, and I see that this patch makes ufs code 18% slower then before.

Hugh Dickins 7ba3485947 [PATCH] fix OOM killing of swapoff
These days, if you swapoff when there isn't enough memory, OOM killer gives
"BUG: scheduling while atomic" and the machine hangs: badness() needs to do
its PF_SWAPOFF return after the task_unlock (tasklist_lock is also held
here, so p isn't going to be freed: PF_SWAPOFF might get turned off at any
moment, but that doesn't really matter).

Matthijs van Otterdijk c8af57eb76 [PATCH] fix the toshiba_acpi write_lcd return value
write_lcd() in toshiba_acpi returns 0 on success since the big ACPI patch
merged in 2.6.20-rc2.  It should return count.

Christoph Lameter f2e12bb272 [PATCH] Check for populated zone in __drain_pages
Both process_zones() and drain_node_pages() check for populated zones
before touching pagesets.  However, __drain_pages does not do so,

This may result in a NULL pointer dereference for pagesets in unpopulated
zones if a NUMA setup is combined with cpu hotplug.

Initially the unpopulated zone has the pcp pointers pointing to the boot
pagesets.  Since the zone is not populated the boot pageset pointers will
not be changed during page allocator and slab bootstrap.

If a cpu is later brought down (first call to __drain_pages()) then the pcp
pointers for cpus in unpopulated zones are set to NULL since __drain_pages
does not first check for an unpopulated zone.

If the cpu is then brought up again then we call process_zones() which will
ignore the unpopulated zone.  So the pageset pointers will still be NULL.

If the cpu is then again brought down then __drain_pages will attempt to
drain pages by following the NULL pageset pointer for unpopulated zones.
