This should fix a suspend/resume issues that appear with OHCI on some

such ASIC-specific hooks (in this case, software clock gating), so
this moves the code to do that into hcd-pci.c ... where it can be
done after the relevant PCI PM state transition (to/from D3).

- Splits the EHCI startup code into run-once HCD setup code and
separate "init the hardware" reinit code. (That reinit code is
a superset of the "early usb handoff" code.)
- Then it makes the PCI init code run both, and the resume code only
run the reinit code.
- It also removes needless pci wrappers around EHCI start/stop methods.
- Removes a byteswap issue that would be seen on big-endian hardware.

[PATCH] kprobes: Fix return probes on sys_execve
Fix a bug in kprobes that can cause an Oops or even a crash when a return
probe is installed on one of the following functions: sys_execve,
do_execve, load_*_binary, flush_old_exec, or flush_thread. The fix is to
remove the call to kprobe_flush_task() in flush_thread(). This fix has
been tested on all architectures for which the return-probes feature has
been implemented (i386, x86_64, ppc64, ia64). Please apply.
BACKGROUND
Up to now, we have called kprobe_flush_task() under two situations: when a
task exits, and when it execs. Flushing kretprobe_instances on exit is
correct because (a) do_exit() doesn't return, and (b) one or more
return-probed functions may be active when a task calls do_exit(). Neither
is the case for sys_execve() and its callees.
Initially, the mistaken call to kprobe_flush_task() on exec was harmless
because we put the "real" return address of each active probed function
back in the stack, just to be safe, when we recycled its
kretprobe_instance. When support for ppc64 and ia64 was added, this safety
measure couldn't be employed, and was eventually dropped even for i386 and
x86_64. sys_execve() and its callees were informally blacklisted for
return probes until this fix was developed.

Well, arm26 manages it by returning a pte_t pointer cast to a struct page

SMP, so it's not a problem for split ptlock either.
And the PA-RISC situation has been recently improved: CONFIG_PA20 works
without the 16-byte alignment which inflated its spinlock_t. But the current
union of spinlock_t with private does make the 7xxx struct page significantly
larger, even without debug, so disable its split ptlock.

since wuite a few places in the kernel do not implement the ipi handler

allocating and zeroing a multiple of 4 bytes (as 'clean_bits' is a uint32_t).
The patch below fixes this problem.
The problem is specific to 64-bit big endian machines such as s390x or ppc-64
and can prevent pvmove terminating.
In the simplest case, if "region_count" were (say) 30, then
bitset_size (below) would be 4 and bitset_uint32_count would be 1.
Thus the memory for this butset, after allocation and zeroing would
be
0 0 0 0 X X X X
On a bigendian 64bit machine, bit 0 for this bitset is in the 8th
byte! (and every bit that dm-log would use would be in the X area).
0 0 0 0 X X X X

which hasn't been cleared properly.
As the dm-raid1 code only syncs and counts regions which have a 0 in the
'sync_bits' bitset, and only finishes when it has counted high enough, a large
number of 1's among those 'X's will cause the sync to not complete.
It is worth noting that the code uses the same bitsets for in-memory and
on-disk logs. As these bitsets are host-endian and host-sized, this means

Reported by: Wayne E. Harlan
"[1.] One line summary of the problem:
When the kernel option "vga=1" is used, additional tty's (alt+control+Fx
with x=2,3,4,5, etc) do not provide the full 50 lines of output. The first
one does have 50 lines, however.
[2.] Full description of the problem/report:
These addtitional tty's show only 39 lines plus the top pixel of the 40-th
line. The remaining lines are black and not shown. Kernel version
2.6.13.4 does not show this problem."
This bug is caused by using a stale font height value on vgacon_init.
Booting with vga=1 gives an 80x50 screen with an 8x8 font. Somewhere
during the initialization, the font was changed to 8x9 and the first
vc was correctly resized to 80x44. However, the rest of the vc's were
not allocated yet, and when they were subsequently initialized, they
still used a font height of 8 (instead of 9) causing the mentioned bug.
Fix by saving the new font height to vga_video_font_height.
The shift value (amount to shift the bitmap so first pixel starts at
origin(0,0)) is incorrect. This causes corrupted characters or a kernel crash
if fontwidth is not divisible by 8 at 270 degrees, or fontheight not divisible
by 8 at 180 degrees.
Report and part of the fix contributed by Knut Petersen.

[PATCH] Fix error handling with put_compat_statfs()
In fs/compat.c, whenever put_compat_statfs() returns an error, the
containing syscall returns -EFAULT. This is presumably by analogy with the
non-compat case, where any non-zero code from copy_to_user() should be
translated into an EFAULT. However, put_compat_statfs() is also return
-EOVERFLOW. The same applies for put_compat_statfs64().
This bug can be observed with a statfs() on a hugetlbfs directory.
hugetlbfs, when mounted without limits reports available, free and total
blocks as -1 (itself a bug, another patch coming). statfs() will
mysteriously return EFAULT although it's parameters are perfectly valid
addresses.
This patch causes the compat versions of statfs() and statfs64() to
correctly propogate the return values from put_compat_statfs() and
put_compat_statfs64().

[PATCH] unpaged: fix sound Bad page states
Earlier I unifdefed PageCompound, so that snd_pcm_mmap_control_nopage and
others can give out a 0-order component of a higher-order page, which won't
be mistakenly freed when zap_pte_range unmaps it. But many Bad page states
reported a PG_reserved was freed after all: I had missed that we need to
say __GFP_COMP to get compound page behaviour.
Some of these higher-order pages are allocated by snd_malloc_pages, some by
snd_malloc_dev_pages; or if SBUS, by sbus_alloc_consistent - but that has
no gfp arg, so add __GFP_COMP into its sparc32/64 implementations.
I'm still rather puzzled that DRM seems not to need a similar change.

It used to be the case that PG_reserved pages were silently never freed, but
in 2.6.15-rc1 they may be freed with a "Bad page state" message. We should
work through such cases as they appear, fixing the code; but for now it's
safer to issue the message without freeing the page, leaving PG_reserved set.

[PATCH] unpaged: ZERO_PAGE in VM_UNPAGED
It's strange enough to be looking out for anonymous pages in VM_UNPAGED areas,
let's not insert the ZERO_PAGE there - though whether it would matter will
depend on what we decide about ZERO_PAGE refcounting.
But whereas do_anonymous_page may (exceptionally) be called on a VM_UNPAGED
area, do_no_page should never be: just BUG_ON.

[PATCH] unpaged: anon in VM_UNPAGED
copy_one_pte needs to copy the anonymous COWed pages in a VM_UNPAGED area,
zap_pte_range needs to free them, do_wp_page needs to COW them: just like
ordinary pages, not like the unpaged.
But recognizing them is a little subtle: because PageReserved is no longer a
condition for remap_pfn_range, we can now mmap all of /dev/mem (whether the
distro permits, and whether it's advisable on this or that architecture, is
another matter). So if we can see a PageAnon, it may not be ours to mess with
(or may be ours from elsewhere in the address space). I suspect there's an
entertaining insoluble self-referential problem here, but the page_is_anon
function does a good practical job, and MAP_PRIVATE PROT_WRITE VM_UNPAGED will
always be an odd choice.
In updating the comment on page_address_in_vma, noticed a potential NULL
dereference, in a path we don't actually take, but fixed it.

Remove the BUG_ON(vma->vm_flags & VM_UNPAGED) from do_wp_page, and let it do
Copy-On-Write without touching the VM_UNPAGED's page counts - but this is
incomplete, because the anonymous page it inserts will itself need to be
handled, here and in other functions - next patch.
We still don't copy the page if the pfn is invalid, because the
copy_user_highpage interface does not allow it. But that's not been a problem
in the past: can be added in later if the need arises.

[PATCH] unpaged: VM_NONLINEAR VM_RESERVED
There's one peculiar use of VM_RESERVED which the previous patch left behind:
because VM_NONLINEAR's try_to_unmap_cluster uses vm_private_data as a swapout
cursor, but should never meet VM_RESERVED vmas, it was a way of extending
VM_NONLINEAR to VM_RESERVED vmas using vm_private_data for some other purpose.
But that's an empty set - they don't have the populate function required. So
just throw away those VM_RESERVED tests.
But one more interesting in rmap.c has to go too: try_to_unmap_one will want
to swap out an anonymous page from VM_RESERVED or VM_UNPAGED area.

[PATCH] unpaged: VM_UNPAGED
Although we tend to associate VM_RESERVED with remap_pfn_range, quite a few
drivers set VM_RESERVED on areas which are then populated by nopage. The
PageReserved removal in 2.6.15-rc1 changed VM_RESERVED not to free pages in
zap_pte_range, without changing those drivers not to set it: so their pages
just leak away.
Let's not change miscellaneous drivers now: introduce VM_UNPAGED at the core,
to flag the special areas where the ptes may have no struct page, or if they
have then it's not to be touched. Replace most instances of VM_RESERVED in
core mm by VM_UNPAGED. Force it on in remap_pfn_range, and the sparc and
sparc64 io_remap_pfn_range.
Revert addition of VM_RESERVED to powerpc vdso, it's not needed there. Is it
needed anywhere? It still governs the mm->reserved_vm statistic, and special
vmas not to be merged, and areas not to be core dumped; but could probably be
eliminated later (the drivers are probably specifying it because in 2.4 it
kept swapout off the vma, but in 2.6 we work from the LRU, which these pages
don't get on).
Use the VM_SHM slot for VM_UNPAGED, and define VM_SHM to 0: it serves no
purpose whatsoever, and should be removed from drivers when we clean up.

[PATCH] unpaged: unifdefed PageCompound
It looks like snd_xxx is not the only nopage to be using PageReserved as a way
of holding a high-order page together: which no longer works, but is masked by
our failure to free from VM_RESERVED areas. We cannot fix that bug without
first substituting another way to hold the high-order page together, while
farming out the 0-order pages from within it.
That's just what PageCompound is designed for, but it's been kept under
CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE. Remove the #ifdefs: which saves some space (out- of-line
put_page), doesn't slow down what most needs to be fast (already using
hugetlb), and unifies the way we handle high-order pages.

[PATCH] unpaged: sound nopage get_page
Something noticed when studying use of VM_RESERVED in different drivers:
snd_usX2Y_hwdep_pcm_vm_nopage omitted to get_page: fixed.
And how did this work before? Aargh! That nopage is returning a page from
within a buffer allocated by snd_malloc_pages, which allocates a high-order
page, then does SetPageReserved on each 0-order page within.
That would have worked in 2.6.14, because when the area was unmapped,
PageReserved inhibited put_page. 2.6.15-rc1 removed that inhibition (while
leaving ineffective PageReserveds around for now), but it hasn't caused
trouble because.. we've not been freeing from VM_RESERVED at all.

[PATCH] unpaged: private write VM_RESERVED
The PageReserved removal in 2.6.15-rc1 issued a "deprecated" message when you
tried to mmap or mprotect MAP_PRIVATE PROT_WRITE a VM_RESERVED, and failed
with -EACCES: because do_wp_page lacks the refinement to COW pages in those
areas, nor do we expect to find anonymous pages in them; and it seemed just
bloat to add code for handling such a peculiar case. But immediately it
caused vbetool and ddcprobe (using lrmi) to fail.
So revert the "deprecated" messages, letting mmap and mprotect succeed. But
leave do_wp_page's BUG_ON(vma->vm_flags & VM_RESERVED) in place until we've
added the code to do it right: so this particular patch is only good if the
app doesn't really need to write to that private area.

[PATCH] unpaged: get_user_pages VM_RESERVED
The PageReserved removal in 2.6.15-rc1 prohibited get_user_pages on the areas
flagged VM_RESERVED in place of PageReserved. That is correct in theory - we
ought not to interfere with struct pages in such a reserved area; but in
practice it broke BTTV for one.
So revert to prohibiting only on VM_IO: if someone gets into trouble with
get_user_pages on VM_RESERVED, it'll just be a "don't do that".
You can argue that videobuf_mmap_mapper shouldn't set VM_RESERVED in the first
place, but now's not the time for breaking drivers without notice.

[PATCH] uml: eliminate use of local in clone stub
We have a bug in the i386 stub_syscall6 which pushes ebp before the system
call and pops it afterwards. Because we use syscall6 to remap the stack, the
old contents of the stack (and the former value of ebp) are no longer
available. Some versions of gcc make from a real local, accessed through ebp,
despite my efforts to make it obvious that references to from are really
constants. This patch attempts to make it even more obvious by eliminating
from and using a macro to access the stub's data explicitly with constants.
My original thinking on this was to replace syscall6 with a remap_stack
interface which saved ebp someplace and restored it afterwards. The problem
is that there are no registers to put it in, except for esp. That could work,
since we can store a constant in esp after the mmap because we just replaced
the stack. However, this approach seems a tad cleaner.
