The taskstats structure is internally aligned on 8 byte boundaries but the
layout of the aggregrate reply, with two NLA headers and the pid (each 4
bytes), actually force the entire structure to be unaligned. This causes
the kernel to issue unaligned access warnings on some architectures like
ia64. Unfortunately, some software out there doesn't properly unroll the
NLA packet and assumes that the start of the taskstats structure will
always be 20 bytes from the start of the netlink payload. Aligning the
start of the taskstats structure breaks this software, which we don't
want. So, for now the alignment only happens on architectures that
require it and those users will have to update to fixed versions of those
packages. Space is reserved in the packet only when needed. This ifdef
should be removed in several years e.g. 2012 once we can be confident
that fixed versions are installed on most systems. We add the padding
before the aggregate since the aggregate is already a defined type.
Commit 85893120 ("delayacct: align to 8 byte boundary on 64-bit systems")
previously addressed the alignment issues by padding out the pid field.
This was supposed to be a compatible change but the circumstances
described above mean that it wasn't. This patch backs out that change,
since it was a hack, and introduces a new NULL attribute type to provide
the padding. Padding the response with 4 bytes avoids allocating an
aligned taskstats structure and copying it back. Since the structure
weighs in at 328 bytes, it's too big to do it on the stack.

The current packed struct implementation of unaligned access adds the
packed attribute only to the field within the unaligned struct rather than
to the struct as a whole. This is not sufficient to enforce proper
behaviour on architectures with a default struct alignment of more than
one byte.
For example, the current implementation of __get_unaligned_cpu16 when
compiled for arm with gcc -O1 -mstructure-size-boundary=32 assumes the
struct is on a 4 byte boundary so performs the load of the 16bit packed
field as if it were on a 4 byte boundary:
__get_unaligned_cpu16:
ldrh r0, [r0, #0]
bx lr
Moving the packed attribute to the struct rather than the field causes the
proper unaligned access code to be generated:
__get_unaligned_cpu16:
ldrb r3, [r0, #0] @ zero_extendqisi2
ldrb r0, [r0, #1] @ zero_extendqisi2
orr r0, r3, r0, asl #8
bx lr

When I added led_blink_set I had a typo: the return value of the hw

Using TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE in balance_dirty_pages() seems wrong. If it's
going to do that then it must break out if signal_pending(), otherwise
it's pretty much guaranteed to degenerate into a busywait loop. Plus we
*do* want these processes to appear in D state and to contribute to load
average.
So it should be TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE. -- Andrew Morton

This happens when __logfs_create() tries to write a new inode to the disk
which is full.
__logfs_create() associates the transaction pointer with inode. During
the logfs_write_inode() function call chain this transaction pointer is
moved from inode to page->private using function move_inode_to_page
(do_write_inode() -> inode_to_page() -> move_inode_to_page)
When the write inode fails, the transaction is aborted and iput is called
on the failed inode. During delete_inode the same transaction pointer
associated with the page is getting used. Thus causing kernel BUG.
The patch checks for error in write_inode() and restores the page->private
to NULL.

do_logfs_journal_wl_pass() should use GFP_NOFS for memory allocation GC
code calls btree_insert32 with GFP_KERNEL while holding a mutex
super->s_write_mutex.
The same mutex is used in address_space_operations->writepage(), and a
call to writepage() could be triggered as a result of memory allocation
in btree_insert32, causing a deadlock.

and vmstat
When correlating ftrace results with /proc/vmstat, I noticed that the
reporting scripts value for "pages scanned" differed significantly. Both
values were "right" depending on how you look at it.
The difference is due to vmstat only counting scanning of the inactive
list towards pages scanned. The analysis script for the tracepoint counts
active and inactive list yielding a far higher value than vmstat. The
resulting scanning/reclaim ratio looks much worse. The tracepoint is ok
but this patch updates the reporting script so that the report values for
scanned are similar to vmstat.

The current tile rt_sigreturn() syscall pattern uses the common idiom
of loading up pt_regs with all the saved registers from the time of
the signal, then anticipating the fact that we will clobber the ABI
"return value" register (r0) as we return from the syscall by setting
the rt_sigreturn return value to whatever random value was in the pt_regs
for r0.
However, this breaks in our 64-bit kernel when running "compat" tasks,
since we always sign-extend the "return value" register to properly
handle returned pointers that are in the upper 2GB of the 32-bit compat
address space. Doing this to the sigreturn path then causes occasional
random corruption of the 64-bit r0 register.
Instead, we stop doing the crazy "load the return-value register"
hack in sigreturn. We already have some sigreturn-specific assembly
code that we use to pass the pt_regs pointer to C code. We extend that
code to also set the link register to point to a spot a few instructions
after the usual syscall return address so we don't clobber the saved r0.
Now it no longer matters what the rt_sigreturn syscall returns, and the
pt_regs structure can be cleanly and completely reloaded.

Previously we were just setting up the "tp" register in the
new task as started by clone() in libc. However, this is not
quite right, since in principle a signal might be delivered to
the new task before it had its TLS set up. (Of course, this race
window still exists for resetting the libc getpid() cached value
in the new task, in principle. But in any case, we are now doing
this exactly the way all other architectures do it.)
This change is important for 2.6.37 since the tile glibc we will
be submitting upstream will not set TLS in user space any more,
so it will only work on a kernel that has this fix. It should
also be taken for 2.6.36.x in the stable tree if possible.

Fix a regression where bttv driver causes oopses when loading, since it
were using some non-initialized mutexes. While it would be possible to
fix the issue, there are some other lock troubles, like to the presence of
lock code at free_btres_lock().
It is possible to fix, but the better is to just use the core-assisted
locking schema. This way, V4L2 core will serialize access to all
ioctl's/open/close/mmap/read/poll operations, avoiding to have two
processes accessing the hardware at the same time. Also, as there's just
one lock, instead of 3, there's no risk of dead locks.
The net result is a cleaner code, with just one lock.

This prevents allocation of the last 2MB before 4GB.
The experiment described here shows Windows 7 ignoring the last 1MB:

This patch ignores the top 2MB instead of just 1MB because H. Peter Anvin
says "There will be ROM at the top of the 32-bit address space; it's a fact

When we allocate address space, e.g., to assign it to a PCI device, don't
allocate anything mentioned in the BIOS E820 memory map.
On recent machines (2008 and newer), we assign PCI resources from the
windows described by the ACPI PCI host bridge _CRS. On many Dell
machines, these windows overlap some E820 reserved areas, e.g.,
BIOS-e820: 00000000bfe4dc00 - 00000000c0000000 (reserved)
pci_root PNP0A03:00: host bridge window [mem 0xbff00000-0xdfffffff]
If we put devices at 0xbff00000, they don't work, probably because
that's really RAM, not I/O memory. This patch prevents that by removing
the 0xbfe4dc00-0xbfffffff area from the "available" resource.
I'm not very happy with this solution because Windows solves the problem
differently (it seems to ignore E820 reserved areas and it allocates
top-down instead of bottom-up; details at comment 45 of the bugzilla
below). That means we're vulnerable to BIOS defects that Windows would not
trip over. For example, if BIOS described a device in ACPI but didn't
mention it in E820, Windows would work fine but Linux would fail.

avoid any arch-specific reserved areas. This currently just avoids the
BIOS area (the first 1MB), but could be used for E820 reserved areas if
that turns out to be necessary.
We previously avoided this area in pcibios_align_resource(). This patch
moves the test from that PCI-specific path to a generic path, so *all*
resource allocations will avoid this area.

This adds arch_remove_reservations(), which an arch can implement if it
needs to protect part of the address space from allocation.
Sometimes that can be done by just putting a region in the resource tree,
but there are cases where that doesn't work well. For example, x86 BIOS
E820 reservations are not related to devices, so they may overlap part of,
all of, or more than a device resource, so they may not end up at the
correct spot in the resource tree.

This reverts commit b126b4703afa4010b161784a43650337676dd03b.
We're going back to the old behavior of allocating from bus resources
in _CRS order.
