[IA64] reduce cacheline bouncing in cpu_idle_wait
Andi noted that during normal runtime cpu_idle_map is bounced around a lot,
and occassionally at a higher frequency than the timer interrupt wakeup
which we normally exit pm_idle from. So switch to a percpu variable.
I didn't move things to the slow path because it would involve adding
scheduler code to wakeup the idle thread on the cpus we're waiting for.

I have recompiled Linux kernel 2.6.11.5 documentation for me and our

sources which are equipped by structured comments for recent 2.6 kernels. I
have tried to proceed with that task. I have done that more times from 2.6.0
time and it gets boring to do same changes again and again. Linux kernel
compiles after changes for i386 and ARM targets. I have added references to
some more files into kernel-api book, I have added some section names as well.
So please, check that changes do not break something and that categories are
not too much skewed.
I have changed kernel-doc to accept "fastcall" and "asmlinkage" words reserved
by kernel convention. Most of the other changes are modifications in the
comments to make kernel-doc happy, accept some parameters description and do
not bail out on errors. Changed <pid> to @pid in the description, moved some
#ifdef before comments to correct function to comments bindings, etc.
You can see result of the modified documentation build at
http://cmp.felk.cvut.cz/~pisa/linux/lkdb-2.6.11.tar.gz

[PATCH] ext3: remove unnecessary race then retry in ext3_get_block
The extra race-with-truncate-then-retry logic around
ext3_get_block_handle(), which was inherited from ext2, becomes unecessary
for ext3, since we have already obtained the ei->truncate_sem in
ext3_get_block_handle() before calling ext3_alloc_branch(). The
ei->truncate_sem is already there to block concurrent truncate and block
allocation on the same inode. So the inode's indirect addressing tree
won't be changed after we grab that semaphore.
We could, after get the semaphore, re-verify the branch is up-to-date or
not. If it has been changed, then get the updated branch. If we still
need block allocation, we will have a safe version of the branch to work
with in the ext3_find_goal()/ext3_splice_branch().
The code becomes more readable after remove those retry logic. The patch
also clean up some gotos in ext3_get_block_handle() to make it more
readable.

[PATCH] reiserfs endianness: sanitize reiserfs_key union
Since we only access reiserfs_key ->u.k_offset_v2 guts in four helper
functions, we are free to sanitize those, as long as
- layout of the structure is unchanged (it's on-disk object)
- behaviour of these helpers is same as before.
Patch kills the mess with endianness-dependent bitfields and replaces them
with a single __le64. Helpers are switched to straightforward shift/and/or.
Benefits:
- exact same definitions for little- and big-endian architectures; no ifdefs
in sight.
- generate the same code on little-endian and improved on big-endian.
- doesn't rely on lousy bitfields handling in gcc codegenerator.
- happens to be standard C (unsigned long long is not a valid type for a
bitfield; it's a gccism and not well-implemented one, at that).

[PATCH] hangcheck-timer: Update to 0.9.0.
I recently realized that the in-kernel copy of hangcheck-timer was quite
stale. Here's the latest. It adds support for s390, ppc64, and ia64 too.

[PATCH] vgacon: set vc_hi_font_mask correctly
When allocating a new VC with vgacon_init(), the font is shared across all
the VGA consoles. However, the font mask was always set to the default
value of zero in visual_init(), even if we were using 512 character fonts
at the time.
Moreover, code in vgacon.c:vga_do_font_op() didn't reset the mask if the
console driver thinks it's already in 512 character mode. This means that
to *fix* it, you'd actually have to take the console out of 512 character
mode and then set it back.
The attached sets vc_hi_font_mask in vgacon_init() for any new consoles
opened if the vgacon driver is already in 512 character mode, solving this.
This bug goes back to 2.4.18 at least, probably earlier.

[PATCH] nbd: Don't create all MAX_NBD devices by default all the time
This patches adds the "nbds_max" parameter to the nbd kernel module, which
limits the number of nbds allocated. Previously, always all 128 entries
were allocated unconditionally, which used to waste resources and
needlessly flood the hotplug system with events. (Defaults to 16 now.)

[PATCH] add EOWNERDEAD and ENOTRECOVERABLE version 2
Add EOWNERDEAD and ENOTRECOVERABLE to all architectures. This is to
support the upcoming patches for robust mutexes.
We normally don't reserve parts of the name/number space for external
patches, but robust mutexes are sufficiently popular and important to
justify it in this case.
