From: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

Apply some alterations to the memory barrier document that I worked out
with Paul McKenney of IBM, plus some of the alterations suggested by Alan
Stern.

The following changes were made:

 (*) One of the examples given for what can happen with overlapping memory
     barriers was wrong.

 (*) The description of general memory barriers said that a general barrier is
     a combination of a read barrier and a write barrier.  This isn't entirely
     true: it implies both, but is more than a combination of both.

 (*) The first example in the "SMP Barrier Pairing" section was wrong: the
     loads around the read barrier need to touch the memory locations in the
     opposite order to the stores around the write barrier.

 (*) Added a note to make explicit that the loads should be in reverse order to
     the stores.

 (*) Adjusted the diagrams in the "Examples Of Memory Barrier Sequences"
     section to make them clearer.  Added a couple of diagrams to make it more
     clear as to how it could go wrong without the barrier.

 (*) Added a section on memory speculation.

 (*) Dropped any references to memory allocation routines doing memory
     barriers.  They may do sometimes, but it can't be relied on.  This may be
     worthy of further documentation later.

 (*) Made the fact that a LOCK followed by an UNLOCK should not be considered a
     full memory barrier more explicit and gave an example.

  [PATCH] powerpc: Fix cell blade detection
  [PATCH] powerpc: Fix call to ibm,client-architecture-support
  powerpc: Fix machine check problem on 32-bit kernels

The IBM Cell blade firmware might confuse the kernel to think it's a
pSeries machine. This fixes it for now. With a bit of luck, the firmware
will be updated to avoid that in the future but currently that patch is
needed.

Looking at the reiser4 crash, I found a leak in debugfs. In
debugfs_mknod(), we create the inode before checking if the dentry
already has one attached. We don't free it if that is the case.

These bugs happen quite often, I'm starting to think we should disallow
such coding in CodingStyle.

There's a race between shutting down one io scheduler and firing up the
next, in which a new io could enter and cause the io scheduler to be
invoked with bad or NULL data.

To fix this, we need to maintain the queue lock for a bit longer.
Unfortunately we cannot do that, since the elevator init requires to be
run without the lock held.  This isn't easily fixable, without also
changing the mempool API.  So split the initialization into two parts,
and alloc-init operation and an attach operation.  Then we can
preallocate the io scheduler and related structures, and run the attach
inside the lock after we detach the old one.

This patch has survived 30 minutes of 1 second io scheduler switching
with a very busy io load.

This patch fixes a kernel panic during boot that occurs on NVIDIA platforms
that have HPET enabled.

When HPET is enabled, the standard timer IRQ is routed to IOAPIC pin 2 and is
advertised as such in the ACPI APIC table - but an earlier workaround in the
kernel was ignoring this override.  The fix is to honor timer IRQ overrides
from ACPI when HPET is detected on an NVIDIA platform.
