pcibios_fixup_device_resources() presently skips over resources flagged
with IORESOURCE_PCI_FIXED, which is a remnant of the old PCI-auto code.
The only user for this at present is the Dreamast GAPSPCI code which
can't tolerate any adjustments to the BARs, but a combination of the
IORESOURCE_PCI_FIXED and zeroed out hose offsets does the right thing for
this case already, so we simply kill off the special casing.

Cursors need to be in the GTT domain when being accessed by the GPU.
Previously this was a fortuitous byproduct of userspace using pwrite()
to upload the image data into the cursor. The redundant clflush was
removed in commit 9b8c4a and so the image was no longer being flushed
out of the caches into main memory. One could also devise a scenario
where the cursor was rendered by the GPU, prior to being attached as the
cursor, resulting in similar corruption due to the missing MI_FLUSH.

module: Make the 'usage' lists be two-way
Problem: it's hard to avoid an init routine stumbling over a
request_module these days. And it's not clear it's always a bad idea:
for example, a module like kvm with dynamic dependencies on kvm-intel
or kvm-amd would be neater if it could simply request_module the right
one.
In this particular case, it's libcrc32c:
libcrc32c_mod_init
crypto_alloc_shash
crypto_alloc_tfm
crypto_find_alg
crypto_alg_mod_lookup
crypto_larval_lookup
request_module
If another module is waiting inside resolve_symbol() for libcrc32c to
finish initializing (ie. bne2 depends on libcrc32c) then it does so
holding the module lock, and our request_module() can't make progress
until that is released.
Waiting inside resolve_symbol() without the lock isn't all that hard:
we just need to pass the -EBUSY up the call chain so we can sleep
where we don't hold the lock. Error reporting is a bit trickier: we
need to copy the name of the unfinished module before releasing the
lock.
Other notes:
1) This also fixes a theoretical issue where a weak dependency would allow
symbol version mismatches to be ignored.
2) We rename use_module to ref_module to make life easier for the only
external user (the out-of-tree ksplice patches).

It disabled preempt so it was "safe", but nothing stops another module
slipping in before this module is added to the global list now we don't
hold the lock the whole time.
So we check this just after we check for duplicate modules, and just
before we put the module in the global list.
(find_symbol finds symbols in coming and going modules, too).

I think Rusty may have made the lock a bit _too_ finegrained there, and
didn't add it to some places that needed it. It looks, for example, like
PATCH 1/2 actually drops the lock in places where it's needed
("find_module()" is documented to need it, but now load_module() didn't
hold it at all when it did the find_module()).
Rather than adding a new "module_loading" list, I think we should be able
to just use the existing "modules" list, and just fix up the locking a
bit.
In fact, maybe we could just move the "look up existing module" a bit
later - optimistically assuming that the module doesn't exist, and then
just undoing the work if it turns out that we were wrong, just before
adding ourselves to the list.

When adding a module that depends on another one, we used to create a
one-way list of "modules_which_use_me", so that module unloading could
see who needs a module.
It's actually quite simple to make that list go both ways: so that we
not only can see "who uses me", but also see a list of modules that are
"used by me".
In fact, we always wanted that list in "module_unload_free()": when we
unload a module, we want to also release all the other modules that are
used by that module. But because we didn't have that list, we used to
first iterate over all modules, and then iterate over each "used by me"
list of that module.
By making the list two-way, we simplify module_unload_free(), and it
allows for some trivial fixes later too.

I believe a moderate SYN flood attack can corrupt RFS flow table
(rps_sock_flow_table), making RPS/RFS much less effective.
Even in a normal situation, server handling short lived sessions suffer
from bad steering for the first data packet of a session, if another SYN
packet is received for another session.
We do following action in tcp_v4_rcv() :
sock_rps_save_rxhash(sk, skb->rxhash);
We should _not_ do this if sk is a LISTEN socket, as about each
packet received on a LISTEN socket has a different rxhash than
previous one.
-> RPS_NO_CPU markers are spread all over rps_sock_flow_table.
Also, it makes sense to protect sk->rxhash field changes with socket
lock (We currently can change it even if user thread owns the lock
and might use rxhash)
This patch moves sock_rps_save_rxhash() to a sock locked section,
and only for non LISTEN sockets.

Remove a BUG_ON for when interrupts are disabled during an MMC request.
During boot, interrupts can be disabled when a request is made, causing
this bug to be triggered. In reality, there's no reason this should halt
the kernel, as the driver has proved reliable in spite of disabled
interrupts, and additionally, there's nothing in this code that would
require interrupts to be enabled.
The only setup I've managed to make it trigger on is on the HTC Herald
during bootup when the driver is built into the kernel (mostly because
that's all I have). I believe it's related to the fact that on bootup I
get many timeout errors on "CMD5" while initializing the card. Each CMD5
timeout triggers that bug (I changed it to a WARN_ON to get it to boot in)
due to the fact that part of the timeout code involves sending the request
again. With interrupts turned off, that BUG would be triggered.

task_struct->pesonality is "unsigned int", but sys_personality() paths use
"unsigned long pesonality". This means that every assignment or
comparison is not right. In particular, if this argument does not fit
into "unsigned int" __set_personality() changes the caller's personality
and then sys_personality() returns -EINVAL.
Turn this argument into "unsigned int" and avoid overflows. Obviously,
this is the user-visible change, we just ignore the upper bits. But this
can't break the sane application.
There is another thing which can confuse the poorly written applications.
User-space thinks that this syscall returns int, not long. This means
that the returned value can be negative and look like the error code. But
note that libc won't be confused and thus errno won't be set, and with
this patch the user-space can never get -1 unless sys_personality() really
fails. And, most importantly, the negative RET != -1 is only possible if
that app previously called personality(RET).

This reverts commit 49bbd815fd ("fb_defio:
fix for non-dirty ptes").
Although the fix provided is correct, it's been suggested to avoid the
underlying race in the same way as it is currently done in filesystems
like NFS, for maintainability.
A following patch "fb_defio: redo fix for non-dirty ptes" will provide
such an alternate fix.

The data chunk is mmaped with 'len' which remains unchanged, so use that
when unmapping in the error path rather than trying to recalculate (and
incorrectly so) the value used originally.

The stack and data have different alignment requirements, so don't force
them to wear the same shoe. Increase the data alignment to match that
which the elf2flt linker script has always been using: 0x20 bytes. Not
only does this bring the kernel loader in line with the toolchain, but it
also fixes a swath of gcc tests which try to force larger alignment values
but randomly fail when the FLAT loader fails to deliver.

Limit number of accumulated non-balloonable pages during inflation cycle,
otherwise there is a chance we will be spinning and growing the list
forever. This happens during torture tests when balloon target changes
while we are in the middle of inflation cycle and monitor starts refusing
to lock pages (since they are not needed anymore).
