The new exec code inserts an accounted vma into an mm struct which is not
current->mm.  The existing memory check code has a hard coded assumption
that this does not happen as does the security code.

As the correct mm is known we pass the mm to the security method and the
helper function.  A new security test is added for the case where we need
to pass the mm and the existing one is modified to pass current->mm to
avoid the need to change large amounts of code.

The new rtc-m41t80 driver name doesn't match its module name, which
prevents it from properly hotplugging.  Since it's new, no platforms yet
depend on that name ...  so this patch fixes the driver name to match its
module name, rather than going the other way around with a MODULE_ALIAS().

NOTE: This sort of bug is a new thing to watch out for with new-style I2C
drivers; previously I2C couldn't hotplug.

Lumpy reclaim works by selecting a lead page from the LRU list and then
selecting pages for reclaim from the order-aligned area of pages.  In the
situation were all pages in that region are inactive and not referenced by any
process over time, it works well.

In the situation where there is even light load on the system, the pages may
not free quickly.  Out of a area of 1024 pages, maybe only 950 of them are
freed when the allocation attempt occurs because lumpy reclaim returned early.
 This patch alters the behaviour of direct reclaim for large contiguous
blocks.

The first attempt to call shrink_page_list() is asynchronous but if it fails,
the pages are submitted a second time and the calling process waits for the IO
to complete.  This may stall allocators waiting for contiguous memory but that
should be expected behaviour for high-order users.  It is preferable behaviour
to potentially queueing unnecessary areas for IO.  Note that kswapd will not
stall in this fashion.

As pointed out by Mel when reclaim is applied at higher orders a significant
amount of IO may be started.  As this takes finite time to drain reclaim will
consider more areas than ultimatly needed to satisfy the request.  This leads
to more reclaim than strictly required and reduced success rates.

I was able to confirm Mel's test results on systems locally.  These show that
even under light load the success rates drop off far more than expected.
Testing with a modified version of his patch (which follows) I was able to
allocate almost all of ZONE_MOVABLE with a near idle system.  I ran 5 test
passes sequentially following system boot (the system has 29 hugepages in
ZONE_MOVABLE):

  2.6.23-rc1              11  8  6  7  7
  sync_lumpy              28 28 29 29 26

These show that although hugely better than the near 0% success normally
expected we can only allocate about a 1/4 of the zone.  Using synchronous
reclaim for these allocations we get close to 100% as expected.

I have also run our standard high order tests and these show no regressions in
allocation success rates at rest, and some significant improvements under
load.

The serial_pci driver tries to guess serial ports on unknown devices based
on the PCI class (modem or serial).  On certain softmodems (AC'97 modems)
this can lead to the recognition of non-existing serial ports.

This patch adds a blacklist of PCI IDs that are to be ignored by the driver.

Reading the LSR clears the break, parity, frame error, and overrun bits in
the 8250 chip, but these are not being saved in all places that read the
LSR.  Same goes for the MSR delta bits.  Save the LSR bits off whenever the
lsr is read so they can be handled later in the receive routine.  Save the
MSR bits to be handled in the modem status routine.

Also, clear the stored bits and clear the interrupt registers before
enabling interrupts, to avoid handling old values of the stored bits in the
interrupt routines.

The uart_set_termios() function will bail out early without bothering to
touch the hardware, if it decides that nothing "relevant" has changed.
Unfortunately, its idea of "relevant" doesn't include c_[io]speed.  So if
the baud rate bits are BOTHER and you just change the speed, the change
gets optimised away.

This patch makes it ignore the old Bfoo bits in c_cflag and just check
whether c_ispeed and c_ospeed have changed.  Those integers are always set
appropriately for us by set_termios().

Booting SPARSEMEM on NUMA systems trips a BUG in page_alloc.c:

	Initializing HighMem for node 0 (00038000:00100000)
	Initializing HighMem for node 1 (00100000:001ffe00)
	------------[ cut here ]------------
	kernel BUG at /home/apw/git/linux-2.6/mm/page_alloc.c:456!
	[...]

This occurs because the section to node id mapping is not being
setup correctly during init under SPARSEMEM_STATIC, leading to an
attempt to free pages from all nodes into the zones on node 0.

When the zone_table[] was removed in the following commit, a new
section to node mapping table was introduced:

    commit 89689ae7
    [PATCH] Get rid of zone_table[]

That conversion inadvertantly only initialised the node mapping in
SPARSEMEM_EXTREME.  Ensure we initialise the node mapping in
SPARSEMEM_STATIC.

Placing a kprobe on "bc" instruction (s390/s390x) can cause an oops.
The instruction length is encoded into the first two bits of the s390
instruction. Kprobe is incorrectly computing the instruction length.
The instruction length is used for determining what type of "fix-up" is
needed for conditional branch instruction. The problem can bee seen by
placing a kprobe on a "bc" instruction that will not branch. The
results is that Kprobe incorrectly computes the new instruction

The snap_rcv code reads 5 bytes so we should make sure that
we have 5 bytes in the head before proceeding.

Based on diagnosis and fix by Evgeniy Polyakov, reported by
Alan J. Wylie.

Patch also kills the skb->sk assignment before kfree_skb
since it's redundant.

Gerd Hoffmann pointed out that my patch from yesterday can lead
to a null pointer dereference if the kernel is booted with no
console, and no earlyprintk defined. This fixes that issue.
