modpost: NOBITS sections may point beyond the end of the file
Impact: fix link failure on certain toolchains with specific configs
Recent percpu change made x86_64 split .data.init section into three

.data.nosave and .bss.* and is followed by .notes segment. Depending
on configuration both segments might contain no data, in which case
the tool chain makes the section header to contain offset beyond the

xen: make direct versions of irq_enable/disable/save/restore to common code
Now that x86-64 has directly accessible percpu variables, it can also
implement the direct versions of these operations, which operate on a
vcpu_info structure directly embedded in the percpu area.
In fact, the 64-bit versions are more or less identical, and so can be
shared. The only two differences are:
1. xen_restore_fl_direct takes its argument in eax on 32-bit, and rdi on 64-bit.
Unfortunately it isn't possible to directly refer to the 2nd lsb of rdi directly
(as you can with %ah), so the code isn't quite as dense.
2. check_events needs to variants to save different registers.

x86/paravirt: add register-saving thunks to reduce caller register pressure
Impact: Optimization
One of the problems with inserting a pile of C calls where previously
there were none is that the register pressure is greatly increased.
The C calling convention says that the caller must expect a certain
set of registers may be trashed by the callee, and that the callee can
use those registers without restriction. This includes the function
argument registers, and several others.
This patch seeks to alleviate this pressure by introducing wrapper
thunks that will do the register saving/restoring, so that the
callsite doesn't need to worry about it, but the callee function can
be conventional compiler-generated code. In many cases (particularly
performance-sensitive cases) the callee will be in assembler anyway,
and need not use the compiler's calling convention.
The thunk preserves all argument and scratch registers. The return
register is not preserved, and is available as a scratch register for
unwrapped callee code (and of course the return value).
Wrapped function pointers are themselves wrapped in a struct
paravirt_callee_save structure, in order to get some warning from the
compiler when functions with mismatched calling conventions are used.
The most common paravirt ops, both statically and dynamically, are
interrupt enable/disable/save/restore, so handle them first. This is
particularly easy since their calls are handled specially anyway.
XXX Deal with VMI. What's their calling convention?

x86/pvops: add a paravirt_ident functions to allow special patching
Impact: Optimization
Several paravirt ops implementations simply return their arguments,
the most obvious being the make_pte/pte_val class of operations on
native.
On 32-bit, the identity function is literally a no-op, as the calling
convention uses the same registers for the first argument and return.
On 64-bit, it can be implemented with a single "mov".
This patch adds special identity functions for 32 and 64 bit argument,
and machinery to recognize them and replace them with either nops or a
mov as appropriate.
At the moment, the only users for the identity functions are the
pagetable entry conversion functions.
The result is a measureable improvement on pagetable-heavy benchmarks
(2-3%, reducing the pvops overhead from 5 to 2%).

linker script: use separate simpler definition for PERCPU()
Impact: fix linker screwup on x86_32
Recent x86_64 zerobased patches introduced PERCPU_VADDR() to put
.data.percpu to a predefined address and re-defined PERCPU() in terms
of it. The new macro defined one extra symbol, __per_cpu_load, for
LMA of the section so that the init data could be accessed. This new
symbol introduced the following problems to x86_32.
1. If __per_cpu_load is defined outside of .data.percpu as an absolute
symbol, relocation generation for relocatable kernel fails due to
absolute relocation.
2. If __per_cpu_load is put inside .data.percpu with absolute address
assignment to work around #1, linker gets confused and under
certain configurations ends up relocating the symbol against
.data.percpu such that the load address gets added on top of
already set load address.
As x86_32 doesn't use predefined address for .data.percpu, there's no
need for it to care about the possibility of __per_cpu_load being
different from __per_cpu_start.
This patch defines PERCPU() separately so that __per_cpu_load is
defined inside .data.percpu so that everything is ordinary
linking-wise.

Allow opportunistic merging of VM_CAN_NONLINEAR areas
Commit de33c8db5910cda599899dd431cc30d7c1018cbf ("Fix OOPS in
mmap_region() when merging adjacent VM_LOCKED file segments") unified
the vma merging of anonymous and file maps to just one place, which
simplified the code and fixed a use-after-free bug that could cause an
oops.
But by doing the merge opportunistically before even having called
->mmap() on the file method, it now compares two different 'vm_flags'
values: the pre-mmap() value of the new not-yet-formed vma, and previous
mappings of the same file around it.
And in doing so, it refused to merge the common file case, which adds a
marker to say "I can be made non-linear".
This fixes it by just adding a set of flags that don't have to match,
because we know they are ok to merge. Currently it's only that single
VM_CAN_NONLINEAR flag, but at least conceptually there could be others
in the future.

version.
Just adding an infinite loop to the BUG() is sufficient.

The lifetime of struct cgroup and struct mem_cgroup is different and
mem_cgroup has its own reference count for handling references from
swap_cgroup.
This causes strange problem that the parent mem_cgroup dies while child
mem_cgroup alive, and this problem causes a bug in case of
use_hierarchy==1 because res_counter_uncharge climbs up the tree.
This patch is for avoiding it by getting the parent at create, and putting
it at freeing.

Fix OOPS in mmap_region() when merging adjacent VM_LOCKED file segments
As of commit ba470de43188cdbff795b5da43a1474523c6c2fb ("map: handle
mlocked pages during map, remap, unmap") we now use the 'vma' variable
at the end of mmap_region() to handle the page-in of newly mapped
mlocked pages.
However, if we merged adjacent vma's together, the vma we're using may
be stale. We historically consciously avoided using it after the merge
operation, but that got overlooked when redoing the locked page
handling.
This commit simplifies mmap_region() by doing any vma merges early,
avoiding the issue entirely, and 'vma' will always be valid. As pointed
out by Hugh Dickins, this depends on any drivers that change the page
offset of flags to have set one of the VM_SPECIAL bits (so that they
cannot trigger the early merge logic), but that's true in general.

Now phylib turns off PHY power during suspend, and thus WOL
doesn't work anymore.
This patch workarounds the issue by enabling wakeup in the MDIO
device, i.e. just restores the old behaviour for the gianfar
driver. Note that this way all PHYs on a given MDIO bus won't
be turned off during suspend, which isn't good from the power
saving point of view.
A proper, per netdevice wakeup management support will need
a bit reworked phylib suspend/resume logic.

smsc9420 performs an interrupt signalling test when the interface is
brought up. The current code mistakenly sets its test flag to false
AFTER enabling the software interrupt source, making failure quite
likely.
This patch changes the code to set the test flag BEFORE enabling
interrupts. I've also removed an smp_wmb because the following spinlock
provides an implicit memory barrier.

The definitions needed for the wimax stack and i2400m driver debug
infrastructure was, by mistake, compiled depending on CONFIG_DEBUG_FS
(by them being placed in the debugfs.c files); thus the build broke in
2.6.29-rc3 when debugging was enabled (CONFIG_WIMAX_DEBUG) and
DEBUG_FS was disabled.
These definitions are always needed if debug is enabled at compile
time (independently of DEBUG_FS being or not enabled), so moving them
to a file that is always compiled fixes the issue.
