  clockevents: remove WARN_ON which was used to gather information

The issue of the endless reprogramming loop due to a too small
min_delta_ns was fixed with the previous updates of the clock events
code, but we had no information about the spread of this problem. I
added a WARN_ON to get automated information via kerneloops.org and to
get some direct reports, which allowed me to analyse the affected
machines.

The WARN_ON has served its purpose and would be annoying for a release
kernel. Remove it and just keep the information about the increase of
the min_delta_ns value.

When using kdump modifying the e820 map is yielding strange results.

For example starting with

 BIOS-provided physical RAM map:
 BIOS-e820: 0000000000000100 - 0000000000093400 (usable)
 BIOS-e820: 0000000000093400 - 00000000000a0000 (reserved)

 BIOS-e820: 00000000ff000000 - 0000000100000000 (reserved)

and booting with args

memmap=exactmap memmap=640K@0K memmap=5228K@16384K memmap=125188K@22252K memmap=76K#1047424K memmap=564K#1047500K

resulted in:

 user-defined physical RAM map:
 user: 0000000000000000 - 0000000000093400 (usable)
 user: 0000000000093400 - 00000000000a0000 (reserved)

 user: 00000000ff000000 - 0000000100000000 (reserved)

But should have resulted in:

 user-defined physical RAM map:
 user: 0000000000000000 - 00000000000a0000 (usable)
 user: 0000000001000000 - 000000000151b000 (usable)

 user: 000000003fee0000 - 000000003ff80000 (ACPI data)

This is happening because of an improper usage of strcmp() in the
e820 parsing code.  The strcmp() always returns !0 and never resets the
value for e820.nr_map and returns an incorrect user-defined map.

This patch fixes the problem.

the current way its coded doesn't work on parisc64.  For two reasons: 1)
parisc isn't in the #ifdef and 2) parisc has a different format for

When running a 31-bit ptrace, on either an s390 or s390x kernel,
reads and writes into a padding area in struct user_regs_struct32
will result in a kernel panic.

This is also known as CVE-2008-1514.

Test case available here:
http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/tests/ptrace-tests/tests/user-area-padding.c?cvsroot=systemtap

Steps to reproduce:
1) wget the above
2) gcc -o user-area-padding-31bit user-area-padding.c -Wall -ggdb2 -D_GNU_SOURCE -m31
3) ./user-area-padding-31bit
<panic>

Test status
-----------
Without patch, both s390 and s390x kernels panic. With patch, the test case,
as well as the gdb testsuite, pass without incident, padding area reads
returning zero, writes ignored.

Nb: original version returned -EINVAL on write attempts, which broke the
gdb test and made the test case slightly unhappy, Jan Kratochvil suggested

Automounter maps can contain mount options valid for other NFS
implementations but not for Linux.  The Linux automounter uses the
mount command's "-s" command line option ("s" for "sloppy") so that
mount requests containing such options are not rejected.

Commit f45663ce attempted to address a
known regression with text-based NFS mount option parsing.  Unrecognized
mount options would cause mount requests to fail, even if the "-s"
option was used on the mount command line.

Unfortunately, this commit was not complete as submitted.  It adds a
new mount option, "sloppy".  But it is missing a hunk, so it now allows
NFS mounts with unrecognized mount options, even if the "sloppy" option
is not present.  This could be a problem if a required critical mount
option such as "sync" is misspelled, for example, and is considered a
regression from 2.6.26.

This patch restores the missing hunk.  Now, the default behavior of
text-based NFS mount options is as before: any unrecognized mount option
will cause the mount to fail.

Please include this in 2.6.27-rc.

Dushan Tcholich reports that on his system ksoftirqd can consume
between %6 to %10 of cpu time, and cause ~200 context switches per

He then correlated this with a report by bdupree@techfinesse.com:

	http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=119613299024398&w=2

and the culprit cause seems to be starting the bridge interface.
In particular, when starting the bridge interface, his scripts
are specifying a hello timer interval of "0".

The bridge hello time can't be safely set to values less than 1
second, otherwise it is possible to end up with a runaway timer.

This patch provides a function to purge all timewait sockets related
to a network namespace. The timewait sockets life cycle is not tied with
the network namespace, that means the timewait sockets stay alive while
the network namespace dies. The timewait sockets are for avoiding to
receive a duplicate packet from the network, if the network namespace is
freed, the network stack is removed, so no chance to receive any packets
from the outside world. Furthermore, having a pending destruction timer
on these sockets with a network namespace freed is not safe and will lead
to an oops if the timer callback which try to access data belonging to 
the namespace like for example in:
	inet_twdr_do_twkill_work
		-> NET_INC_STATS_BH(twsk_net(tw), LINUX_MIB_TIMEWAITED);

Purging the timewait sockets at the network namespace destruction will:
 1) speed up memory freeing for the namespace
 2) fix kernel panic on asynchronous timewait destruction

On 32-bit, at least the generic nops are fairly reasonable, but the
default nops for 64-bit really look pretty sad, and the P6 nops really do
look better.

So I would suggest perhaps moving the static P6 nop selection into the
CONFIG_X86_64 thing.

The alternative is to just get rid of that static nop selection, and just
have two cases: 32-bit and 64-bit, and just pick obviously safe cases for
them.

of them being unifying probing, hotplug and EH reset paths uniform.
Previously, broken hardreset could go unnoticed as it wasn't used
during probing but when something goes wrong or after hotplug the
problem will surface and bite hard.

OSDL bug 11195 reports that sata_nv generic flavor falls into this
category.  Hardreset itself succeeds but PHY stays offline after
hardreset.  I tried longer debounce timing but the result was the
same.

So, it seems we'll have to drop hardreset from the generic flavor.

I've been chasing Jeff about this for months.  Jeff added the Marvell
device identifiers to the ahci driver without making the AHCI driver
handle the PATA port. This means a lot of users can't use current
kernels and in most distro cases can't even install.

This has been going on since March 2008 for the 6121 Marvell, and late 2007
for the 6145!!!

This was all pointed out at the time and repeatedly ignored. Bugs assigned
to Jeff about this are ignored also.

(Which isn't trivial, isn't end user, shouldn't be needed, and as it usually
breaks at install time is in fact impossible)

Only he add the ids anyway later and caused regressions, adding a further
id in March causing more regresions.

The actual fix for the moment is very simple. If the user has included
the pata_marvell driver let it drive the ports. If they've only selected
for SATA support give them the AHCI driver which will run the port a fraction
faster. Allow the user to control this decision via ahci.marvell_enable as
a module parameter so that distributions can ship 'it works' defaults and
smarter users (or config tools) can then flip it over it desired.

A make -j20 powerpc kernel build broke a couple of months ago saying:
In file included from arch/powerpc/boot/gunzip_util.h:13,
                 from arch/powerpc/boot/prpmc2800.c:21:
arch/powerpc/boot/zlib.h:85: error: expected ‘:’, ‘,’, ‘;’, ‘}’ or ‘__attribute__’ before ‘*’ token
arch/powerpc/boot/zlib.h:630: warning: type defaults to ‘int’ in declaration of ‘Byte’
arch/powerpc/boot/zlib.h:630: error: expected ‘;’, ‘,’ or ‘)’ before ‘*’ token

It happened again yesterday: too rare for me to confirm the fix, but
it looks like the list of dependants on gunzip_util.h was incomplete.
