This patch adds pci_common_swizzle(), which swizzles INTx values all the way up to a root bridge. This common implementation can replace several architecture-specific ones. This should someday be combined with pci_get_interrupt_pin(), but I left it separate for now to make reviewing easier.

Some ACPI related PCI hotplug code can be shared among PCI hotplug drivers. This patch introduces the following functions in drivers/pci/hotplug/acpi_pcihp.c to share the code, and changes acpiphp and pciehp to use them. - int acpi_pci_detect_ejectable(struct pci_bus *pbus) This checks if the specified PCI bus has ejectable slots. - int acpi_pci_check_ejectable(struct pci_bus *pbus, acpi_handle handle) This checks if the specified handle is ejectable ACPI PCI slot. The 'pbus' parameter is needed to check if 'handle' is PCI related ACPI object. This patch also introduces the following inline function in include/linux/pci-acpi.h, which is useful to get ACPI handle of the PCI bridge from struct pci_bus of the bridge's secondary bus. - static inline acpi_handle acpi_pci_get_bridge_handle(struct pci_bus *pbus) This returns ACPI handle of the PCI bridge which generates PCI bus specified by 'pbus'.

Device drivers that use pci_request_regions() (and similar APIs) have a reasonable expectation that they are the only ones accessing their device. As part of the e1000e hunt, we were afraid that some userland (X or some bootsplash stuff) was mapping the MMIO region that the driver thought it had exclusively via /dev/mem or via various sysfs resource mappings. This patch adds the option for device drivers to cause their reserved regions to the "banned from /dev/mem use" list, so now both kernel memory and device-exclusive MMIO regions are banned. NOTE: This is only active when CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM is set. In addition to the config option, a kernel parameter iomem=relaxed is provided for the cases where developers want to diagnose, in the field, drivers issues from userspace.

The first step to make swab.h a regular header that will include an asm/swab.h with arch overrides. Avoid the gratuitous differences introduced in the new linux/swab.h by naming the ___constant_swabXX bits and __fswabXX bits exactly as found in the old implementation in byteorder/swab[b].h Use this new swab.h in byteorder/[big|little]_endian.h and remove the two old swab headers. Although the inclusion of asm/byteorder.h looks strange in linux/swab.h, this will allow each arch to move the actual arch overrides for the swab bits in an asm file and then the includes can be cleaned up without requiring a flag day for all arches at once. Keep providing __fswabXX in case some userspace was using them directly, but the revised __swabXX should be used instead in any new code and will always do constant folding not dependent on the optimization level, which means the __constant versions can be phased out in-kernel. Arches that use the old-style arch macros will lose their optimized versions until they move to the new style, but at least they will still compile. Many arches have already moved and the patches to move the remaining arches are trivial.

- the type assigned at mount when no type is given is changed from 0 to AUTOFS_TYPE_INDIRECT. This was done because 0 and AUTOFS_TYPE_INDIRECT were being treated implicitly as the same type. - previously, an offset mount had it's type set to AUTOFS_TYPE_DIRECT|AUTOFS_TYPE_OFFSET but the mount control re-implementation needs to be able distinguish all three types. So this was changed to make the type setting explicit. - a type AUTOFS_TYPE_ANY was added for use by the re-implementation when checking if a given path is a mountpoint. It's not really a type as we use this to ask if a given path is a mountpoint in the autofs_dev_ioctl_ismountpoint() function. - functions to set and test the autofs mount types have been added to improve readability and make the type usage explicit. - the mount type is used from user space for the mount control re-implementtion so, for consistency, all the definitions have been moved to the user space include file include/linux/auto_fs4.h.

Allows kprobes to probe __exit routine. This adds flags member to struct kprobe. When module is freed(kprobes hooks module_notifier to get this event), kprobes which probe the functions in that module are set to "Gone" flag to the flags member. These "Gone" probes are never be enabled. Users can check the GONE flag through debugfs. This also removes mod_refcounted, because we couldn't free a module if kprobe incremented the refcount of that module.

This series of patches allows kprobes to probe module's __init and __exit functions. This means, you can probe driver initialization and terminating. Currently, kprobes can't probe __init function because these functions are freed after module initialization. And it also can't probe module __exit functions because kprobe increments reference count of target module and user can't unload it. this means __exit functions never be called unless removing probes from the module. To solve both cases, this series of patches introduces GONE flag and sets it when the target code is freed(for this purpose, kprobes hooks MODULE_STATE_* events). This also removes refcount incrementing for allowing user to unload target module. Users can check which probes are GONE by debugfs interface. For taking timing of freeing module's .init text, these also include a patch which adds module's notifier of MODULE_STATE_LIVE event. This patch: Add within_module_core() and within_module_init() for checking whether an address is in the module .init.text section or .text section, and replace within() local inline functions in kernel/module.c with them. kprobes uses these functions to check where the kprobe is inserted.

Generalize the old at91rm9200 "bootstrap" bitbanging SPI master driver as "spi_gpio", so it works with arbitrary GPIOs and can be configured through platform_data. Such SPI masters support: - any number of bus instances (bus_num is the platform_device.id) - any number of chipselects (one GPIO per spi_device) - all four SPI_MODE values, and SPI_CS_HIGH - i/o word sizes from 1 to 32 bits; - devices configured as with any other spi_master controller When configured using platform_data, this provides relatively low clock rates. On platforms that support inlined GPIO calls, significantly improved transfer speeds are also possible with a semi-custom driver. (It's still painful when accessing flash memory, but less so.) Sanity checked by using this version to replace both native controllers on a board with six different SPI slaves, relying on three different SPI_MODE_* values and both SPI_CS_HIGH settings for correct operation.

A sensible value is 2*num_online_cpus(), with a minimum value of 32 (This minimum value helps branch prediction in __percpu_counter_add()) We already have a hotcpu notifier, so we can adjust FBC_BATCH dynamically.

f_op->poll is the only vfs operation which is not allowed to sleep. It's because poll and select implementation used task state to synchronize against wake ups, which doesn't have to be the case anymore as wait/wake interface can now use custom wake up functions. The non-sleep restriction can be a bit tricky because ->poll is not called from an atomic context and the result of accidentally sleeping in ->poll only shows up as temporary busy looping when the timing is right or rather wrong. This patch converts poll/select to use custom wake up function and use separate triggered variable to synchronize against wake up events. The only added overhead is an extra function call during wake up and negligible. This patch removes the one non-sleep exception from vfs locking rules and is beneficial to userland filesystem implementations like FUSE, 9p or peculiar fs like spufs as it's very difficult for those to implement non-sleeping poll method.

xacct_add_tsk() relies on do_exit()->update_hiwater_xxx() and uses mm->hiwater_xxx directly, this leads to 2 problems: - taskstats_user_cmd() can call fill_pid()->xacct_add_tsk() at any moment before the task exits, so we should check the current values of rss/vm anyway. - do_exit()->update_hiwater_xxx() calls are racy. An exiting thread can be preempted right before mm->hiwater_xxx = new_val, and another thread can use A_LOT of memory and exit in between. When the first thread resumes it can be the last thread in the thread group, in that case we report the wrong hiwater_xxx values which do not take A_LOT into account. Introduce get_mm_hiwater_rss() and get_mm_hiwater_vm() helpers and change xacct_add_tsk() to use them. The first helper will also be used by rusage->ru_maxrss accounting. Kill do_exit()->update_hiwater_xxx() calls. Unless we are going to decrease rss/vm there is no point to update mm->hiwater_xxx, and nobody can look at this mm_struct when exit_mmap() actually unmaps the memory.

Remove WB_SYNC_HOLD. The primary motiviation is the design of my anti-starvation code for fsync. It requires taking an inode lock over the sync operation, so we could run into lock ordering problems with multiple inodes. It is possible to take a single global lock to solve the ordering problem, but then that would prevent a future nice implementation of "sync multiple inodes" based on lock order via inode address. Seems like a backward step to remove this, but actually it is busted anyway: we can't use the inode lists for data integrity wait: an inode can be taken off the dirty lists but still be under writeback. In order to satisfy data integrity semantics, we should wait for it to finish writeback, but if we only search the dirty lists, we'll miss it. It would be possible to have a "writeback" list, for sys_sync, I suppose. But why complicate things by prematurely optimise? For unmounting, we could avoid the "livelock avoidance" code, which would be easier, but again premature IMO. Fixing the existing data integrity problem will come next.

Complete zap_pte_range()'s coverage of bad pagetable entries by calling print_bad_pte() on a pte_file in a linear vma and on a bad swap entry.

No, that would be more noisy than helpful: we'll see them when parent and child exec or exit. Where do_nonlinear_fault() calls print_bad_pte(): omit !VM_CAN_NONLINEAR case, that could only be a bug in sys_remap_file_pages(), not a bad pte. VM_FAULT_OOM rather than VM_FAULT_SIGBUS?

Swap allocation has always started from the beginning of the swap area; but if we're dealing with a solidstate swap device which can only remap blocks within limited zones, that would sooner wear out the first zone. Therefore sys_swapon() test whether blk_queue is non-rotational, and if so randomize the cluster_next starting position for allocation. If blk_queue is nonrot, note SWP_SOLIDSTATE for later use, and report it with an "SS" at the right end of the kernel's "Adding ... swap" message (so that if it's both nonrot and discardable, "SSD" will be shown there). Perhaps something should be shown in /proc/swaps (swapon -s), but we have to be more cautious before making any addition to that format.
