[ARM] 2892/1: remove gcc workaround for direct access to absolute memory addresses

Patch from Nicolas Pitre

It used to make a difference in the gcc-2.95 era.  However these days
modern gcc apparently got better at not being influenced by such constructs
(which is good in general) and therefore such workaround is of no real
advantage anymore.
The good news is that gcc (from version 4.1.0) is now fixed with
regards to the defficiency this workaround was trying to address.
For those interested the patch can easily be backported to older gcc
versions and can be found here:
http://gcc.gnu.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/gcc/gcc/config/arm/arm.c.diff?r1=1.476&r2=1.478

Arg 2 of rt_intern_hash must come with refcnt 1 as it is added to

[PATCH] scan all enabled ports on ata_piix

ICH6 spec defines the PORT_ bits as:

PORT_ENABLED (R/W):

  0 = Disabled.  The port is in the off state and cannot detect any
  devices.

  1 = Enabled.  The port can transition between the on, partial, and
  slumber states and can detect devices.

PORT_PRESENT  (R/O)

  The status of this bit may change at any time.  This bit is cleared
  when the port is disabled via PORT_ENABLED.  This bit is not cleared upon
  surprise removal of a device.

So from a textual view it is not necessary that PORT_PRESENT _must_ be set,
especially if a device detection has to be done anyway.  And, in fact, this
is the view that ACER has been taken with its new Laptops (e.g.  Travelmate
4150).

And the definition of PORT_ENABLED / PORT_PRESENT is mixed up, btw.

[PATCH] fix klist semantics for lists which have elements removed on traversal

The problem is that klists claim to provide semantics for safe traversal of
lists which are being modified.  The failure case is when traversal of a
list causes element removal (a fairly common case).  The issue is that
although the list node is refcounted, if it is embedded in an object (which
is universally the case), then the object will be freed regardless of the
klist refcount leading to slab corruption because the klist iterator refers
to the prior element to get the next.

The solution is to make the klist take and release references to the
embedding object meaning that the embedding object won't be released until
the list relinquishes the reference to it.

[PATCH] DVB: Clarify description text for dvb-bt8xx in Kconfig

Patrick Keene wrote to the linux-dvb list, asking where in menuconfig he
can enable dvb-bt8xx for his AVerMedia DVB card.  I pointed the following
out to him:

config DVB_BT8XX
       tristate "Nebula/Pinnacle PCTV/Twinhan PCI cards"

It has been agreed upon that this description is extremely misleading.

This patch changes the one-liner description text of dvb-bt8xx to something
more meaningful, and adds AVerMedia to the detailed description.

[PATCH] pivot_root() circular reference fix

Fix http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4857

When pivot_root is called from an init script in an initramfs environment,
it causes a circular reference in the mount tree.

The cause of this is that pivot_root() is not prepared to handle pivoting
an unattached mount.  In an initramfs environment, rootfs is the root of
the namespace, and so it is not attached.

This patch fixes this and related problems, by returning -EINVAL if either
the current root or the new root is detached.

reproduce the problem insert kprobes on schedule() and do_IRQ() functions
and you should see hang or system crash.

[PATCH] kprobes: fix handling of simultaneous probe hit/unregister

This patch fixes a bug in kprobes's handling of a corner case on i386 and
x86_64.  On an SMP system, if one CPU unregisters a kprobe just after
another CPU hits that probepoint, kprobe_handler() on the latter CPU sees
that the kprobe has been unregistered, and attempts to let the CPU continue
as if the probepoint hadn't been hit.  The bug is that on i386 and x86_64,
we were neglecting to set the IP back to the beginning of the probed
instruction.  This could cause an oops or crash.

This bug doesn't exist on ppc64 and ia64, where a breakpoint instruction
leaves the IP pointing to the beginning of the instruction.  I don't know
about sparc64.  (Dave, could you please advise?)

This fix has been tested on i386 and x86_64 SMP systems.  To reproduce the
problem, set one CPU to work registering and unregistering a kprobe
repeatedly, and another CPU pounding the probepoint in a tight loop.

[PATCH] Kprobes/IA64: fix race when break hits and kprobe not found

This patch addresses a potential race condition for a case where Kprobe has
been removed right after another CPU has taken a break hit.

The way this is addressed here is when the CPU that has taken a break hit
does not find its corresponding kprobe, then we check to see if the
original instruction got replaced with other than break.  If it got
replaced with other than break instruction, then we continue to execute
from the replaced instruction, else if we find that it is still a break,
then we let the kernel handle this, as this might be the break instruction
inserted by other than kprobe(may be kernel debugger).

[PATCH] Kprobes: prevent possible race conditions generic

There are possible race conditions if probes are placed on routines within the
kprobes files and routines used by the kprobes.  For example if you put probe
on get_kprobe() routines, the system can hang while inserting probes on any
routine such as do_fork().  Because while inserting probes on do_fork(),
register_kprobes() routine grabs the kprobes spin lock and executes
get_kprobe() routine and to handle probe of get_kprobe(), kprobes_handler()
gets executed and tries to grab kprobes spin lock, and spins forever.  This
patch avoids such possible race conditions by preventing probes on routines
within the kprobes file and routines used by kprobes.

I have modified the patches as per Andi Kleen's suggestion to move kprobes
routines and other routines used by kprobes to a seperate section
.kprobes.text.

Also moved page fault and exception handlers, general protection fault to
.kprobes.text section.

These patches have been tested on i386, x86_64 and ppc64 architectures, also
compiled on ia64 and sparc64 architectures.

under buffer lock in all cases and hence we know that whenever a buffer is
starting to be journaled we either finish the pending write-out before
attaching a buffer to a transaction or we won't write the buffer until the
transaction is going to be committed.

The test in jbd_unexpected_dirty_buffer() is redundant - remove it.
Furthermore we have to clear the buffer dirty bit under the buffer lock to
prevent races with buffer write-out (and hence prevent returning a buffer with
IO happening).
