Commit 7676bef9c1 breaks DCSS support on
s390. DCSS needs initialized struct pages to work. With the usage of
add_active_range() only the struct pages for physically present pages
are initialized.
This could be fixed if the DCSS driver would initiliaze the struct pages
itself, but this doesn't work too. This is because the mem_map array
does not include holes after the last present memory area and therefore
there is nothing that could be initialized.
To fix this and to avoid some dirty hacks revert this patch for now.
Will be added later when we move to a virtual mem_map.

Since it is becoming clear that there are just enough users of the binary
sysctl interface that completely removing the binary interface from the kernel
will not be an option for foreseeable future, we need to find a way to address
the sysctl maintenance issues.
The basic problem is that sysctl requires one central authority to allocate
sysctl numbers, or else conflicts and ABI breakage occur. The proc interface
to sysctl does not have that problem, as names are not densely allocated.
By not terminating a sysctl table until I have neither a ctl_name nor a
procname, it becomes simple to add sysctl entries that don't show up in the
binary sysctl interface. Which allows people to avoid allocating a binary
sysctl value when not needed.
I have audited the kernel code and in my reading I have not found a single
sysctl table that wasn't terminated by a completely zero filled entry. So
this change in behavior should not affect anything.
I think this mechanism eases the pain enough that combined with a little
disciple we can solve the reoccurring sysctl ABI breakage.

tg3_close() turns off the PHY if WoL and ASF are both disabled. On
the next tg3_open(), some devices such as the 5752M will not be
brought up correctly without a PHY reset early in the reset sequence.
The PHY clock is needed for some internal MAC blocks to function
correctly.
This problem is fixed by always resetting the PHY early in
tg3_reset_hw() when it is called from tg3_open() or tg3_resume().
tg3_setup_phy() can then be called later in the sequence without the
reset_phy parameter set to 1, since the PHY reset is already done.

The previous commit (45c18b0bb5, aka "Fix
unlikely (but possible) race condition on task->user access") fixed a
potential oops due to __sigqueue_alloc() getting its "user" pointer out
of sync with switch_user(), and accessing a user pointer that had been
de-allocated on another CPU.
It still left another (much less serious) problem, where a concurrent
__sigqueue_alloc and swich_user could cause sigqueue_alloc to do signal
pending reference counting for a _different_ user than the one it then
actually ended up using. No oops, but we'd end up with the wrong signal
accounting.
Another case of Oleg's eagle-eyes picking up the problem.
This is trivially fixed by just making sure we load whichever "user"
structure we decide to use (it doesn't matter _which_ one we pick, we
just need to pick one) just once.

There's a possible race condition when doing a "switch_uid()" from one
user to another, which could race with another thread doing a signal
allocation and looking at the old thread ->user pointer as it is freed.
This explains an oops reported by Lukasz Trabinski:
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/462241
We fix this by delaying the (reference-counted) freeing of the user
structure until the thread signal handler lock has been released, so
that we know that the signal allocation has either seen the new value or
has properly incremented the reference count of the old one.

The fact that the code seems to rely on compiler access ordering through
the use of "volatile" is a pretty certain sign that the code has locking
problems, and we should fix those properly and then remove the whole
"volatile" entirely.
But in the meantime, the movement of "volatile" was unintentional, and

The original check in ext2/ext3 when user.* xattrs were merged was more

sys_move_pages() uses vmalloc() to allocate an array of structures that is
fills with information passed from user mode and then passes to
do_stat_pages() (in the case the node list is NULL). do_stat_pages()
depends on a marker in the node field of the structure to decide how large
the array is and this marker is correctly inserted into the last element of
the array. However, vmalloc() doesn't zero the memory it allocates and if
the user passes NULL for the node list, then the node fields are not filled
in (except for the end marker). If the memory the vmalloc() returned
happend to have a word with the marker value in it in just the right place,
do_pages_stat will fail to fill the status field of part of the array and
we will return (random) kernel data to user mode.

Fix a UML hang in which everything would just stop until some I/O happened
- a ping, someone whacking the keyboard - at which point everything would
start up again as though nothing had happened.
The cause was gcc reordering some code which absolutely needed to be
executed in the order in the source. When unblock_signals switches signals
from off to on, it needs to see if any interrupts had happened in the
critical section. The interrupt handlers check signals_enabled - if it is
zero, then the handler adds a bit to the "pending" bitmask and returns.
unblock_signals checks this mask to see if any signals need to be
delivered.
The crucial part is this:
signals_enabled = 1;
save_pending = pending;
if(save_pending == 0)
return;
pending = 0;
In order to avoid an interrupt arriving between reading pending and setting
it to zero, in which case, the record of the interrupt would be erased,
signals are enabled.
What happened was that gcc reordered this so that 'save_pending = pending'
came before 'signals_enabled = 1', creating a one-instruction window within
which an interrupt could arrive, set its bit in pending, and have it be
immediately erased.
When the I/O workload is purely disk-based, the loss of a block device
interrupt stops the entire I/O system because the next block request will
wait for the current one to finish. Thus the system hangs until something
else causes some I/O to arrive, such as a network packet or console input.
The fix to this particular problem is a memory barrier between enabling
signals and reading the pending signal mask. An xchg would also probably
work.
Looking over this code for similar problems led me to do a few more
things:
- make signals_enabled and pending volatile so that they don't get cached
in registers
- add an mb() to the return paths of block_signals and unblock_signals so
that the modification of signals_enabled doesn't get shuffled into the
caller in the event that these are inlined in the future.
