5e7c4ea83e [PATCH] m68k: fix NBPG define
The recent header cleanup removed PAGE_SIZE from the exported information as
it depends on the configuration.

BTW This has possibly other consequences, as the core dump code is using
PAGE_SIZE directly, which may need fixing as well.

7f7bbbe50b [PATCH] page fault retry with NOPAGE_REFAULT
Add a way for a no_page() handler to request a retry of the faulting
instruction.  It goes back to userland on page faults and just tries again
in get_user_pages().  I added a cond_resched() in the loop in that later
case.

The problem I have with signal and spufs is an actual bug affecting apps and I
don't see other ways of fixing it.

In addition, we are having issues with infiniband and 64k pages (related to
the way the hypervisor deals with some HV cards) that will require us to muck
around with the MMU from within the IB driver's no_page() (it's a pSeries
specific driver) and return to the caller the same way using NOPAGE_REFAULT.

And to add to this, the graphics folks have been following a new approach of
memory management that involves transparently swapping objects between video
ram and main meory.  To do that, they need installing PTEs from a no_page()
handler as well and that also requires returning with NOPAGE_REFAULT.

(For the later, they are currently using io_remap_pfn_range to install one PTE
from no_page() which is a bit racy, we need to add a check for the PTE having
already been installed afer taking the lock, but that's ok, they are only at
the proof-of-concept stage.  I'll send a patch adding a "clean" function to do
that, we can use that from spufs too and get rid of the sparsemem hacks we do
to create struct page for SPEs.  Basically, that provides a generic solution
for being able to have no_page() map hardware devices, which is something that
I think sound driver folks have been asking for some time too).

All of these things depend on having the NOPAGE_REFAULT exit path from
no_page() handlers.

d69a892268 [PATCH] Fix WARN_ON / WARN_ON_ONCE regression
Tim and Ananiev report that the recent WARN_ON_ONCE changes cause increased
cache misses with the tbench workload.  Apparently due to the access to the
newly-added static variable.

Rearrange the code so that we don't touch that variable unless the warning is
going to trigger.

Also rework the logic so that the static variable starts out at zero, so we
can move it into bss.

It would seem logical to mark the static variable as __read_mostly too.  But
it would be wrong, because that would put it back into the vmlinux image, and
the kernel will never read from this variable in normal operation anyway.
Unless the compiler or hardware go and do some prefetching on us?

For some reason this patch shrinks softirq.o text by 40 bytes.

c1ce464d29 [POWERPC] Minor fix for bootargs property
Avoid the use of an uninitialized stack variable when the powerpc device tree
bootargs property is either missing or incorrectly defined.  This also makes
CONFIG_CMDLINE work properly under these conditions.  This change adds a test
for the existence of the bootargs property.

early_init_dt_scan_chosen() tests for a zero length bootargs property in its
CONFIG_CMDLINE processing, but the current implementation of
of_get_flat_dt_prop() doesn't assign a value to the length when no property is
found.  Since an automatic variable is used, a stale value from the stack will
be used in the test.

41550c5128 [POWERPC] Don't get PCI IRQ from OF for devices with no IRQ
This patch adds checking of the PCI_INTERRUPT_PIN register before
using standard OF parsing to retreive PCI interrupts. The reason is
that some PCI devices may have no PCI interrupt, though they may have
interrupts attached via other means. In this case, we shall not use
irq->pdev, but device-specific code can later retreive those interrupts
instead.

Without that patch, Maple and derivatives don't get the right interrupt
for the second IDE channel as the linux IDE code fallsback to the PCI
irq instead of trying to use the legacy ones for the on-board controller
(which has no PCI_INTERRUPT_PIN). Having no PCI IRQ assign to it (as it
doesn't request any) fixes it.

76fd231717 [PATCH] x86-64: Calgary IOMMU: Fix off by one when calculating register space location
The purpose of the code being modified is to determine the location
of the calgary chip address space.  This is done by a magical formula
of FE0MB-8MB*OneBasedChassisNumber+1MB*(RioNodeId-ChassisBase) to
find the offset where BIOS puts it.  In this formula,
OneBasedChassisNumber corresponds to the NUMA node, and rionodeid is
always 2 or 3 depending on which chip in the system it is.  The
problem was that we had an off by one error that caused us to account
some busses to the wrong chip and thus give them the wrong address
space.

Fixes RH bugzilla #203971.

dedc9937e8 [PATCH] x86-64: Calgary IOMMU: deobfuscate calgary_init
calgary_init's for loop does not correspond to the actual device being
checked, which makes its upperbound check for array overflow useless.
Changing this to a do-while loop is the correct way of doing this.
There should be no possibility of spinning forever in this loop, as
pci_get_device states that it will go through all iterations, then
return NULL (thus breaking the loop).

7d12e780e0 IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers
Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead
of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the
Linux kernel.

The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack
space and code to pass it around.  On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter
from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path
(ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()).

Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do
something different with the variable.  On FRV, for instance, the address is
maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception
handling.

Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down
through up to twenty or so layers of functions.  Consider a USB character
device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its
interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller.  A character
device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input
layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing.

I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386.  I've runtested the
main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers.
I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile
with minimal configurations.

This will affect all archs.  Mostly the changes should be relatively easy.
Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one:

	struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs);

And put the old one back at the end:

	set_irq_regs(old_regs);

Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ().

In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary:

	-	update_process_times(user_mode(regs));
	-	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs);
	+	update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs()));
	+	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING);

I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself,
except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode().

Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers:

 (*) input_dev() is now gone entirely.  The regs pointer is no longer stored in
     the input_dev struct.

 (*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking.  It does
     something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs
     pointer or not.

 (*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type
     irq_handler_t.

77dc2db6d1 [PATCH] itmtouch: fix inverted flag to indicate touch location correctly, correct white space
There is a bug in the current version of the itmtouch USB touchscreen
driver.  The if statment that checks if pressure is being applied to the
touch screen is now missing a ! (not), so events are no longer being
reported correctly.

The original source code for this line was as follows:

	#define UCP(x) ((unsigned char*)(x))
	#define UCOM(x,y,z) ((UCP((x)->transfer_buffer)[y]) & (z))

	...
	if (!UCOM(urb, 7, 0x20)) {

And was cleaned to:

	unsigned char *data = urb->transfer_buffer;
	....
	 if (data[7] & 0x20) {

(note the lack of '!')

This has been tested on an LG L1510BF and an LG1510SF touch screen.
