In commit ee7c82da ("wait_task_stopped:
simplify and fix races with SIGCONT/SIGKILL/untrace"), the magic (short)
cast when storing si_code was lost in wait_task_stopped.  This leaks the
in-kernel CLD_* values that do not match what userland expects.

This makes 64-bit ptrace calls setting the 64-bit orig_ax field for a
32-bit task sign-extend the low 32 bits up to 64.  This matches what a
64-bit debugger expects when tracing a 32-bit task.

This follows on my "x86_64 ia32 syscall restart fix".  This didn't
matter until that was fixed.

The debugger ignores or zeros the high half of every register slot it
sets (including the orig_rax pseudo-register) uniformly.  It expects
that the setting of the low 32 bits always has the same meaning as a
32-bit debugger setting those same 32 bits with native 32-bit
facilities.

This never arose before because the syscall restart check never
matched any -ERESTART* values due to lack of sign extension.  Before
that fix, even 32-bit ptrace setting orig_eax to -1 failed to trigger
the restart check anyway.  So this was never noticed as a regression
of 64-bit debuggers vs 32-bit debuggers on the same 64-bit kernel.

The card state mutex was only initialized when a device was connected,
but used during unload unconditionally, leading to an Oops if a driver
was loaded and unloaded again without ever connecting a device.

Fix this by initializing the mutex as soon as the structure is allocated.
Also add a missing mutex unlock revealed in the same execution path.

Sripathi Kodi reported a crash in the -rt kernel:

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=435674

this is due to a place that can reschedule a task without holding
the tasks runqueue lock.  This was caused by the RT balancing code
that pulls RT tasks to the current run queue and will reschedule the
current task.

There's a slight chance that the pulling of the RT tasks will release
the current runqueue's lock and retake it (in the double_lock_balance).
During this time that the runqueue is released, the current task can
migrate to another runqueue.

In the prio_changed_rt code, after the pull, if the current task is of
lesser priority than one of the RT tasks pulled, resched_task is called
on the current task. If the current task had migrated in that small
window, resched_task will be called without holding the runqueue lock
for the runqueue that the task is on.

This race condition also exists in the mainline kernel and this patch
adds a check to make sure the task hasn't migrated before calling
resched_task.

The new x86 setup code (4fd06960) broke booting on an old P3/500MHz
with an onboard Voodoo3 of mine. After debugging it, it turned out
to be caused by the fact that the vesa probing now asks for VBE2 data.

Disassembing the video BIOS shows that it overflows the vesa_general_info
structure when VBE2 data is requested because the source addresses for the
information strings which get strcpy'ed to the buffer lie outside the 32K
BIOS code (and hence contain long sequences of 0xff's).

The Linux kernel currently does not clear the direction flag before
calling a signal handler, whereas the x86/x86-64 ABI requires that.

Linux had this behavior/bug forever, but this becomes a real problem
with gcc version 4.3, which assumes that the direction flag is
correctly cleared at the entry of a function.

This patches changes the setup_frame() functions to clear the
direction before entering the signal handler.

NUMA slab allocator cpu migration bugfix

The NUMA slab allocator (specifically, cache_alloc_refill)
is not refreshing its local copies of what cpu and what
numa node it is on, when it drops and reacquires the irq
block that it inherited from its caller.  As a result
those values become invalid if an attempt to migrate the
process to another numa node occured while the irq block
had been dropped.

The solution is to make cache_alloc_refill reload these
variables whenever it drops and reacquires the irq block.

The error is very difficult to hit.  When it does occur,
one gets the following oops + stack traceback bits in
check_spinlock_acquired:

	kernel BUG at mm/slab.c:2417
	cache_alloc_refill+0xe6
	kmem_cache_alloc+0xd0

SLUB should pack even small objects nicely into cachelines if that is what
has been asked for. Use the same algorithm as SLAB for this.

The effect of this patch for a system with a cacheline size of 64
bytes is that the 24 byte sized slab caches will now put exactly
2 objects into a cacheline instead of 3 with some overlap into
the next cacheline. This reduces the object density in a 4k slab
