The problem were caused by a make silentoldconfig being
run before oldconfig and with a non-recent .config the build
failed because silentoldconfig requires non-redirected stdin.
Silentoldconfig was run as a side-effect of having the
top-level Makefile re-made by make.

libata: kill spurious NCQ completion detection
Spurious NCQ completion detection implemented in ahci was incorrect.
On AHCI receving and processing FISes and raising interrupts are not
interlocked and spurious interrupts are expected.
For example, if an interrupt occurs while interrupt handler is running
and the running interrupt handler handles the event the new IRQ
indicated, after IRQ handler finishes, it will be executed again
because IRQ pending bit is set by the new interrupt but there won't be
anything to process.
Please read the following message for more information.
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ide/26012
This patch...
* Removes all spurious IRQ whining from ahci. Spurious NCQ completion
detection was completely wrong. Spurious D2H Register FIS taught us
that some early drives send spurious D2H Register FIS with I bit set
while NCQ commands are in progress but none of recent drives does
that and even the ones which show such behavior can do NCQ fine.
* Kills all NCQ blacklist entries which were added because of spurious
NCQ completions. I tracked down each commit and verified all
removed ones are actually added because of spurious completions.
WD740ADFD-00NLR1 wasn't deleted but moved upward because the drive
not only had spurious NCQ completions but also is slow on sequential
data transfers if NCQ is enabled.
Maxtor 7V300F0 was added by 0e3dbc01d53940fe10e5a5cfec15ede3e929c918
from Alan Cox. I can only find evidences that the drive only had
troubles with spuruious completions by searching the mailing list.
This entry needs to be verified and removed if it doesn't have other
NCQ related problems.

scheduler is initialized.)
[AVR32] Fix wrong pt_regs in critical exception handler
It's not like it really matters at this point since the system is
dying anyway, but handle_critical pushes too few registers on the
stack so the register dump, which makes the register dump look a bit
strange. This patch fixes it.
The current implementation of copy_to_user_page() gives "vaddr" to the
cache instruction when trying to sync the icache with the dcache. If
vaddr does not exist in the TLB, the CPU will silently abort the
operation, which may result in the caches staying out of sync.
To fix this, pass the "dst" parameter to flush_icache_range() instead
-- we know this is valid because we just wrote to it.
[AVR32] Follow the rules when dealing with the OCD system
The current debug trap handling code does a number of things that are
illegal according to the AVR32 Architecture manual. Most importantly,
it may try to schedule from Debug Mode, thus clearing the D bit, which
can lead to "undefined behaviour".
It seems like this works in most cases, but several people have
observed somewhat unstable behaviour when debugging programs,
including soft lockups. So there's definitely something which is not
right with the existing code.
The new code will never schedule from Debug mode, it will always exit
Debug mode with a "retd" instruction, and if something not running in
Debug mode needs to do something debug-related (like doing a single
step), it will enter debug mode through a "breakpoint" instruction.
The monitor code will then return directly to user space, bypassing
its own saved registers if necessary (since we don't actually care
about the trapped context, only the one that came before.)
This adds three instructions to the common exception handling code,
including one branch. It does not touch super-hot paths like the TLB
miss handler.
Generate a new set of OCD register definitions in asm/ocd.h and rename
__mfdr() and __mtdr() to ocd_read() and ocd_write() respectively.
The bitfield definitions are a lot more complete now, and they are
entirely based on bit numbers, not masks. This is because OCD
registers are frequently accessed from assembly code, where bit
numbers are a lot more useful (can be fed directly to sbr, bfins,
etc.)
Bitfields that consist of more than one bit have two definitions:
_START, which indicates the number of the first bit, and _SIZE, which
indicates the number of bits. These directly correspond to the
parameters taken by the bfextu, bfexts and bfins instructions.
We really need to check TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK before returning to
userspace. The existing code does not necessarily do this.
Define the work masks as a bitwise OR of the respective flags instead
of a hardcoded hex value to make it easier to spot errors like this in
the future.

remove nonsense force-casts from ocfs2
endianness annotations in networking code had been in place for quite a
while; in particular, sin_port and s_addr are annotated as big-endian.
Code in ocfs2 had __force casts added apparently to shut the sparse
warnings up; of course, these days they only serve to *produce* warnings
for no reason whatsoever...

VM/Security: add security hook to do_brk
Given a specifically crafted binary do_brk() can be used to get low pages
available in userspace virtual memory and can thus be used to circumvent
the mmap_min_addr low memory protection. Add security checks in do_brk().

proc: fix proc_dir_entry refcounting
Creating PDEs with refcount 0 and "deleted" flag has problems (see below).
Switch to usual scheme:
* PDE is created with refcount 1
* every de_get does +1
* every de_put() and remove_proc_entry() do -1
* once refcount reaches 0, PDE is freed.
This elegantly fixes at least two following races (both observed) without
introducing new locks, without abusing old locks, without spreading
lock_kernel():
1) PDE leak
remove_proc_entry de_put
----------------- ------
[refcnt = 1]
if (atomic_read(&de->count) == 0)
if (atomic_dec_and_test(&de->count))
if (de->deleted)
/* also not taken! */
free_proc_entry(de);
else
de->deleted = 1;
[refcount=0, deleted=1]
Also, remove broken usage of ->deleted from reiserfs: if sget() succeeds,
module is already pinned and remove_proc_entry() can't happen => nobody
can mark PDE deleted.
Dummy proc root in netns code is not marked with refcount 1. AFAICS, we
never get it, it's just for proper /proc/net removal. I double checked
CLONE_NETNS continues to work.
Patch survives many hours of modprobe/rmmod/cat loops without new bugs
which can be attributed to refcounting.

jbd: Fix assertion failure in fs/jbd/checkpoint.c
Before we start committing a transaction, we call
__journal_clean_checkpoint_list() to cleanup transaction's written-back
buffers.
If this call happens to remove all of them (and there were already some
buffers), __journal_remove_checkpoint() will decide to free the transaction
because it isn't (yet) a committing transaction and soon we fail some
assertion - the transaction really isn't ready to be freed :).
We change the check in __journal_remove_checkpoint() to free only a
transaction in T_FINISHED state. The locking there is subtle though (as
everywhere in JBD ;(). We use j_list_lock to protect the check and a
subsequent call to __journal_drop_transaction() and do the same in the end
of journal_commit_transaction() which is the only place where a transaction
can get to T_FINISHED state.
Probably I'm too paranoid here and such locking is not really necessary -
checkpoint lists are processed only from log_do_checkpoint() where a
transaction must be already committed to be processed or from
__journal_clean_checkpoint_list() where kjournald itself calls it and thus
transaction cannot change state either. Better be safe if something
changes in future...
