There is a problem with large amounts of spurious IRQs on PowerPC 82xx
systems.

The problem is corrected by adding sync at the end of cpm2_mask_and_ack.
This may be needed on 8xx as well but has not yet been confirmed.

I noticed an occasional crash on wakeup from sleep on my powerbook
(strangly never happened before, probably timing related) that appears to
be due to a dangling interrupt while the chip is put to sleep and beeing
reset on wakeup.

This patch fixes is by disabling the irq in the ide pmac driver while
asleep and only re-enable it after the chip has been fully reset.  This is
safe to do so as the interrupt of these apple IDE cells is never shared.

Some G3 CPUs can crash in funny way if a store from an FPU register
instruction is executed on a register that has never been initialized since

This patch provides finer grained permissions for the audit family of
Netlink sockets under SELinux.

1.  We need a way to differentiate between privileged and unprivileged
   reads of kernel data maintained by the audit subsystem.  The AUDIT_GET
   operation is unprivileged: it returns the current status of the audit
   subsystem (e.g.  whether it's enabled etc.).  The AUDIT_LIST operation
   however returns a list of the current audit ruleset, which is considered
   privileged by the audit folk.  To deal with this, a new SELinux
   permission has been implemented and applied to the operation:
   nlmsg_readpriv, which can be allocated to appropriately privileged
   domains.  Unprivileged domains would only be allocated nlmsg_read.

2.  There is a requirement for certain domains to generate audit events
   from userspace.  These events need to be collected by the kernel,
   collated and transmitted sequentially back to the audit daemon.  An
   example is user level login, an auditable event under CAPP, where
   login-related domains generate AUDIT_USER messages via PAM which are
   relayed back to auditd via the kernel.  To prevent handing out
   nlmsg_write permissions to such domains, a new permission has been
   added, nlmsg_relay, which is intended for this type of purpose: data is
   passed via the kernel back to userspace but no privileged information is
   written to the kernel.

Also, AUDIT_LOGIN messages are now valid only for kernel->user messaging,
so this value has been removed from the SELinux nlmsgtab (which is only
used to check user->kernel messages).

The patch makes the following function calls available to allocate memory
on a specific node without changing the basic operation of the slab
allocator:

 kmem_cache_alloc_node(kmem_cache_t *cachep, unsigned int flags, int node);
 kmalloc_node(size_t size, unsigned int flags, int node);

in a similar way to the existing node-blind functions:

 kmem_cache_alloc(kmem_cache_t *cachep, unsigned int flags);
 kmalloc(size, flags);

kmem_cache_alloc_node was changed to pass flags and the node information
through the existing layers of the slab allocator (which lead to some minor
rearrangements).  The functions at the lowest layer (kmem_getpages,
cache_grow) are already node aware.  Also __alloc_percpu can call
kmalloc_node now.

Performance measurements (using the pageset localization patch) yields:

This is a patch for counting the number of pages for bounce buffers.  It's
shown in /proc/vmstat.

Currently, the number of bounce pages are not counted anywhere.  So, if
there are many bounce pages, it seems that there are leaked pages.  And
it's difficult for a user to imagine the usage of bounce pages.  So, it's
meaningful to show # of bouce pages.

Mempool is pretty clever.  Looks too clever for its own good :) It
shouldn't really know so much about page reclaim internals.

- don't guess about what effective page reclaim might involve.

- don't randomly flush out all dirty data if some unlikely thing
  happens (alloc returns NULL). page reclaim can (sort of :P) handle
  it.

I think the main motivation is trying to avoid pool->lock at all costs.
However the first allocation is attempted with __GFP_WAIT cleared, so it
will be 'can_try_harder' if it hits the page allocator.  So if allocation
still fails, then we can probably afford to hit the pool->lock - and what's
the alternative?  Try page reclaim and hit zone->lru_lock?

A nice upshot is that we don't need to do any fancy memory barriers or do
(intentionally) racy access to pool-> fields outside the lock.

Mempools have 2 problems.

The first is that mempool_alloc can possibly get stuck in __alloc_pages
when they should opt to fail, and take an element from their reserved pool.

The second is that it will happily eat emergency PF_MEMALLOC reserves
instead of going to their reserved pools.

Fix the first by passing __GFP_NORETRY in the allocation calls in
mempool_alloc.  Fix the second by introducing a __GFP_MEMPOOL flag which
directs the page allocator not to allocate from the reserve pool.

Removing the dependency on vmlinux for the install target raised a few
complaints, so instead a new target i added: kernel_install.

kernel_install will install the kernel just like the ordinary install target.
The only difference is that install has a dependency on vmlinux,
kernel_install does not. Therefore kernel_install is the best choice
when accessing the kernel over a NFS mount or as another user.

kernel_install is similar to modules_install in the fact that neither does
a full kernel compile before performing the install.
In this way they are good for root use. Also added back the
dependency on vmlinux for the install target so peoples scripts are no

When the kernel creates a signal frame on the user stack, it puts the
old stack pointer value at the beginning so that the signal frame is
linked into the chain of stack frames like any other frame.
Unfortunately, for 32-bit processes we are writing the old stack
pointer as a 64-bit value rather than a 32-bit value, and the process
sees that as a null pointer, since it only looks at the first 32 bits,
which are zero since ppc is bigendian and the stack pointer is below
4GB.  This bug is in SLES9 and RHEL4 too, hence the ccs.

This patch fixes the bug by making the signal code write the old stack
pointer as a u32 instead of an unsigned long.
