the subtraction could wrap around and produce a very large unsigned
value.  In fact it probably isn't possible to hit the bug in practice

allocation request and there is a reserved region starting at 0.

This fixes the potential bug by breaking out of the loop when we get
to the point where the base of the reserved region is less than the
size requested.  This also restructures the loop to be a bit easier to
follow.

The same logic got copied into lmb_alloc_nid_unreserved, so this makes
a similar change there.  Here the bug is more likely to be hit because
the outer loop  (in lmb_alloc_nid) goes through the memory regions in
increasing order rather than decreasing order as __lmb_alloc_base
does, and we are therefore more likely to hit the case where we are
testing against a reserved region with a base address of 0.

[POWERPC] Fix handling of unrecoverable SLB miss interrupts

If an SLB miss interrupt happens while the RI bit of MSR is zero, we
can't just return, because RI being zero indicates that SRR0/SRR1
potentially had live values in them, and the process of taking an
interrupt overwrites them.

This should never happen, but if it does, we try to print a nice oops
message.  That doesn't work, however, because the code at unrecov_slb
assumes that the MMU has been turned on, but we call it with the MMU
off (and have done so since the SLB miss handler was rewritten to run
without turning the MMU on) -- except on iSeries, where everything runs
with the MMU on.

This fixes it by adding the necessary code to turn the MMU on if
necessary.

pnp: increase number of devices supported per protocol

Increase the PNP "number of devices" limit.  We currently use an unsigned
char, which limits us to 256 devices per protocol.  This patch changes that to
an unsigned int.

Not all backends can take advantage of this: we limit ISAPNP to 10 devices in
isapnp_cfg_begin(), and PNPBIOS is limited to 256 devices because the BIOS
interfaces use a one-byte device node number.

But there is no limit on the number of PNPACPI devices we may have.  Large HP
Integrity machines have more than 256, which causes the current "unsigned char
number" to wrap around.  This causes errors like this:

    pnp: PnP ACPI init

This patch increases the limit to fix this PNPACPI problem.  It should not

asmlinkage_protect replaces prevent_tail_call

The prevent_tail_call() macro works around the problem of the compiler
clobbering argument words on the stack, which for asmlinkage functions
is the caller's (user's) struct pt_regs.  The tail/sibling-call
optimization is not the only way that the compiler can decide to use
stack argument words as scratch space, which we have to prevent.
Other optimizations can do it too.

Until we have new compiler support to make "asmlinkage" binding on the
compiler's own use of the stack argument frame, we have work around all
the manifestations of this issue that crop up.

More cases seem to be prevented by also keeping the incoming argument
variables live at the end of the function.  This makes their original
stack slots attractive places to leave those variables, so the compiler
tends not clobber them for something else.  It's still no guarantee, but
it handles some observed cases that prevent_tail_call() did not.

smp_call_function to all cpus, to make them come out of old idle handler

pop previous section in alternative.c

gcc expects all toplevel assembly to return to the original section type.
The code in alteranative.c does not do this. This caused some strange bugs
in sched-devel where code would end up in the .rodata section and when
the kernel sets the NX bit on all .rodata, the kernel would crash when
executing this code.

This patch adds a .previous marker to return the code back to the
original section.

Credit goes to Andrew Pinski for telling me it wasn't a gcc bug but a
bug in the toplevel asm code in the kernel.  ;-)

SELinux: don't BUG if fs reuses a superblock

I (wrongly) assumed that nfs_xdev_get_sb() would not ever share a superblock
and so cloning mount options would always be correct.  Turns out that isn't
the case and we could fall over a BUG_ON() that wasn't a BUG at all.  Since
there is little we can do to reconcile different mount options this patch
just leaves the sb alone and the first set of options wins.

broke openswan by removing the selector initialization for tunnel mode
in case it is uninitialized.

This patch restores the initialization, fixing openswan, but probably
breaking inter-family tunnels again (unknown since the patch author
