The architecture states, that bit 0-7 of STIDP returns all zero, and
if STIDP is executed in a virtual machine, the VM operating system
will replace bits 0-7 with FF.
KVM should not use FE to distinguish z/VM from KVM for interested
guests. The proper way to detect the hypervisor is the STSI (Store
System Information) instruction, which return information about the
hypervisors via function code 3, selector1=2, selector2=2.

changes.
The problem is this:
- task A is ptracing task B
- task B stops on a trace event
- task A is woken up and preempts task B
- task A calls ptrace on task B, which does ptrace_check_attach()
- this calls wait_task_inactive(), which sees that task B is still on the runq
- task A goes to sleep for a jiffy
- ...
Since UML does lots of the above sequences, those jiffies quickly add
up to make it slow as hell.
This patch solves this by not rescheduling in read_unlock() after
ptrace_stop() has woken up the tracer.
Thanks to Oleg Nesterov and Ingo Molnar for the feedback.

ucc_geth: Fix oops when using fixed-link support
commit b1c4a9dddf09fe99b8f88252718ac5b357363dc4 ("ucc_geth: Change
uec phy id to the same format as gianfar's") introduced a regression
in the ucc_geth driver that causes this oops when fixed-link is used:
This patch fixes the issue by removing offending (and somewhat
duplicate) code from init_phy() routine, and changes _probe()
function to use uec_mdio_bus_name().
Also, since we fully construct phy_bus_id in the _probe() routine,
we no longer need ->phy_address and ->mdio_bus fields in
ucc_geth_info structure.
I wish the patch would be a bit shorter, but it seems like the only
way to fix the issue in a sane way. Luckily, the patch has been
tested with real PHYs and fixed-link, so no further regressions
expected.

dm9000: locking bugfix
This fixes a locking bug in the dm9000 driver. It calls
request_irq() without setting IRQF_DISABLED ... which is
correct for handlers that support IRQ sharing, since that
behavior is not guaranteed for shared IRQs. However, its
IRQ handler then wrongly assumes that IRQs are blocked.
So the fix just uses the right spinlock primitives in the
IRQ handler.
NOTE: this is a classic example of the type of bug which
lockdep currently masks by forcibly setting IRQF_DISABLED
on IRQ handlers that did not request that flag.

eCryptfs: NULL crypt_stat dereference during lookup
If ecryptfs_encrypted_view or ecryptfs_xattr_metadata were being
specified as mount options, a NULL pointer dereference of crypt_stat
was possible during lookup.
This patch moves the crypt_stat assignment into
ecryptfs_lookup_and_interpose_lower(), ensuring that crypt_stat
will not be NULL before we attempt to dereference it.
Thanks to Dan Carpenter and his static analysis tool, smatch, for
finding this bug.

eCryptfs: Allocate a variable number of pages for file headers
When allocating the memory used to store the eCryptfs header contents, a
single, zeroed page was being allocated with get_zeroed_page().
However, the size of an eCryptfs header is either PAGE_CACHE_SIZE or
ECRYPTFS_MINIMUM_HEADER_EXTENT_SIZE (8192), whichever is larger, and is
stored in the file's private_data->crypt_stat->num_header_bytes_at_front
field.
ecryptfs_write_metadata_to_contents() was using
num_header_bytes_at_front to decide how many bytes should be written to
the lower filesystem for the file header. Unfortunately, at least 8K
was being written from the page, despite the chance of the single,
zeroed page being smaller than 8K. This resulted in random areas of
kernel memory being written between the 0x1000 and 0x1FFF bytes offsets
in the eCryptfs file headers if PAGE_SIZE was 4K.
This patch allocates a variable number of pages, calculated with
num_header_bytes_at_front, and passes the number of allocated pages
along to ecryptfs_write_metadata_to_contents().
Thanks to Florian Streibelt for reporting the data leak and working with
me to find the problem. 2.6.28 is the only kernel release with this
vulnerability. Corresponds to CVE-2009-0787
radeonfb: Whack the PCI PM register until it sticks
This fixes a regression introduced when we switched to using the core
pci_set_power_state(). The chip seems to need the state to be written
over and over again until it sticks, so we do that.
Note that the code is a bit blunt, without timeout, etc... but that's
pretty much because I put back in there the code exactly as it used to
be before the regression. I still add a call to pci_set_power_state()
at the end so that ACPI gets called appropriately on x86.
