sparsemem: record when a section has a valid mem_map
We have flags to indicate whether a section actually has a valid mem_map
associated with it. This is never set and we rely solely on the present bit
to indicate a section is valid. By definition a section is not valid if it
has no mem_map and there is a window during init where the present bit is set
but there is no mem_map, during which pfn_valid() will return true
incorrectly.
Use the existing SECTION_HAS_MEM_MAP flag to indicate the presence of a valid
mem_map. Switch valid_section{,_nr} and pfn_valid() to this bit. Add a new
present_section{,_nr} and pfn_present() interfaces for those users who care to
know that a section is going to be valid.

sparsemem: clean up spelling error in comments
SPARSEMEM is a pretty nice framework that unifies quite a bit of code over all
the arches. It would be great if it could be the default so that we can get
rid of various forms of DISCONTIG and other variations on memory maps. So far
what has hindered this are the additional lookups that SPARSEMEM introduces
for virt_to_page and page_address. This goes so far that the code to do this
has to be kept in a separate function and cannot be used inline.
This patch introduces a virtual memmap mode for SPARSEMEM, in which the memmap
is mapped into a virtually contigious area, only the active sections are
physically backed. This allows virt_to_page page_address and cohorts become
simple shift/add operations. No page flag fields, no table lookups, nothing
involving memory is required.
The two key operations pfn_to_page and page_to_page become:
By having a virtual mapping for the memmap we allow simple access without
wasting physical memory. As kernel memory is typically already mapped 1:1
this introduces no additional overhead. The virtual mapping must be big
enough to allow a struct page to be allocated and mapped for all valid
physical pages. This vill make a virtual memmap difficult to use on 32 bit
platforms that support 36 address bits.
However, if there is enough virtual space available and the arch already maps
its 1-1 kernel space using TLBs (f.e. true of IA64 and x86_64) then this
technique makes SPARSEMEM lookups even more efficient than CONFIG_FLATMEM.
FLATMEM needs to read the contents of the mem_map variable to get the start of
the memmap and then add the offset to the required entry. vmemmap is a
constant to which we can simply add the offset.
This patch has the potential to allow us to make SPARSMEM the default (and
even the only) option for most systems. It should be optimal on UP, SMP and
NUMA on most platforms. Then we may even be able to remove the other memory
models: FLATMEM, DISCONTIG etc.
The current aim is to bring a common virtually mapped mem_map to all
architectures. This should facilitate the removal of the bespoke
implementations from the architectures. This also brings performance
improvements for most architecture making sparsmem vmemmap the more desirable
memory model. The ultimate aim of this work is to expand sparsemem support to
encompass all the features of the other memory models. This could allow us to
drop support for and remove the other models in the longer term.
Below are some comparitive kernbench numbers for various architectures,
comparing default memory model against SPARSEMEM VMEMMAP. All but ia64 show
marginal improvement; we expect the ia64 figures to be sorted out when the
larger mapping support returns.

x86: optimize page faults like all other achitectures and kill notifier cruft
x86(-64) are the last architectures still using the page fault notifier
cruft for the kprobes page fault hook. This patch converts them to the
proper direct calls, and removes the now unused pagefault notifier bits
aswell as the cruft in kprobes.c that was related to this mess.
I know Andi didn't really like this, but all other architecture maintainers
agreed the direct calls are much better and besides the obvious cruft
removal a common way of dealing with kprobes across architectures is
important aswell.

x86: Convert cpu_core_map to be a per cpu variable
This is from an earlier message from 'Christoph Lameter':
cpu_core_map is currently an array defined using NR_CPUS. This means that
we overallocate since we will rarely really use maximum configured cpu.
If we put the cpu_core_map into the per cpu area then it will be allocated
for each processor as it comes online.
This means that the core map cannot be accessed until the per cpu area
has been allocated. Xen does a weird thing here looping over all processors
and zeroing the masks that are not yet allocated and that will be zeroed
when they are allocated. I commented the code out.

someone, please, verify, that put_device after device_find_child is
correct?
Also would be nice to test with a Natsemi UART, that can wake up the system,
if such systems exist.
For this you just have to apply the patch below, issue the above "echo"
command to one of your Natsemi port, suspend and resume your system, and
verify that your Natsemi port still works. If you are actually capable of
waking up the system from that port, would be nice to test that as well.

The issue has something to do with assert time on PCMCIA bus, but I'm not

[NEIGH]: Ensure that pneigh_lookup is protected with RTNL
The pnigh_lookup is used to lookup proxy entries and to
create them in case lookup failed.
However, the "creation" code does not perform the re-lookup
after GFP_KERNEL allocation. This is done because the code
is expected to be protected with the RTNL lock, so add the
assertion (mainly to address future questions from new network

scsi/gdth: fix crash in gdth_timeout if no gdth controllers found
If the gdth module is loaded (or compiled in), the gdth_timeout function
gets started even if no actual gdth controllers are found b the probing.
That ends up not only being unnecessary, but also causes a crash due to
the function blindly just trying to pick the first entry off the

if the list is empty!

libata: prevent devices with blank model names from being DMA blacklisted
The strn_pattern_cmp routine does not handle a blank name parameter
properly. The only patterns which should match a blank name are "*"
and an explicit "". If the function is passed a blank name in current

itself as the device with the empty model name always matching the first
device in the DMA blacklist, forcing it to revert to PIO mode.

works around a bug in some BIOSes that handle unaligned access to the
PCI config registers poorly. Finally, the driver allows fallback to
using MSR registers for configuration on BIOSes that are truly

[NET]: Avoid copying TCP packets unnecessarily
TCP packets all have writable heads, that is, even though it's cloned, it is
writable up to the end of the TCP header. This patch makes skb_checksum_help

I've also modified the BUG_ON tests to be unsigned. The only case where this

Since skb->data should always include the header where the checksum field
is (and all currently callers adhere to that), this change is safe and may
