User get *a lot* confused when consoles don't work but we don't report
anything. And, as reported in the comment, using printk to report "your
console doesn't work" isn't likely to go that far.
Fix the problem on the base of this: stack consumption by host printf(). Use
kernel sprintf() and os_write_file, using a wild guess that one page will be
enough for the message, to preallocate the buffer with kmalloc().

setup_initial_poll is only called with sigio_lock() held, so use appropriate
allocation.
Also, parse_chan() can also be called when holding a spinlock (see line_open()
-> parse_chan_pair()).
I have sporadic problems (spinlock taken twice, with spinlock debugging on UP)
which could be caused by a sequence like "take spinlock, alloc and go to
sleep, take again the spinlock in the other thread".

Following i386, we should maybe refuse trying to fault in pages when we're
doing atomic operations, because to handle the fault we could need to take
already taken spinlocks.
Also, if we're doing an atomic operation (in the sense of in_atomic()) we're
surely in kernel mode and we're surely going to handle adequately the failed
fault, so it's safe to behave this way.
Currently, on UML SMP is rarely used, and we don't support PREEMPT, so this is
unlikely to create problems right now, but it might in the future.

Things are breaking horribly with sysrq called in interrupt context. I want
to try to fix it, but probably this is simpler. To tell the truth, sysrq is
normally run in interrupt context, so there shouldn't be any problem.
There's also a warning from the fault handler because it's run in atomic
context (I have a patch for that, only I deferred it). This is why I'm doing
this.

The current code doesn't handle well general protection faults on the host -
it thinks that cr2 is always the address of a page fault. While actually, on
general protection faults, that address is not accessible, so we'd better
assume we couldn't satisfy the fault. Currently instead we think we've fixed
it, so we go back, retry the instruction and fault again endlessly.
This leads to the kernel hanging when doing copy_from_user(dest, -1, ...) in
TT mode, since reading *(-1) causes a GFP, and we don't support kernel
preemption.
Thanks to Luo Xin for testing UML with LTP and reporting the failures he got.

I had an issue on ia64 where I got a bug in kernel/workqueue because
kzalloc returned a NULL pointer due to the task structure getting too big
for the slab allocator. Usually these cases are caught by the kmalloc
macro in include/linux/slab.h.
Compilation will fail if a too big value is passed to kmalloc.
However, kzalloc uses __kmalloc which has no check for that. This patch
makes __kmalloc bug if a too large entity is requested.

The SMU is the "system controller" chip used by Apple recent G5 machines
including the iMac G5. It drives things like fans, i2c busses, real time
clock, etc...
The current kernel contains a very crude driver that doesn't do much more
than reading the real time clock synchronously. This is a completely
rewritten driver that provides interrupt based command queuing, a userland
interface, and an i2c/smbus driver for accessing the devices hanging off
the SMU i2c busses like temperature sensors. This driver is a basic block
for upcoming work on thermal control for those machines, among others.

The recent iommu fix broke booting on some POWER4 and POWER5 LPAR boxes.
It looks like we have been calling the non LPAR iommu_dev_setup on LPAR
machines for a while. The recent iommu fix caused that code path to
fail.
It looks like we just need to hook up the devices iommu_table to the
parents one, so do that instead of calling iommu_dev_setup_pSeries and
crossing the streams.

The numa slab allocator may allocate pages from foreign nodes onto the
lists for a particular node if a node runs out of memory. Inspecting the
slab->nodeid field will not reflect that the page is now in use for the
slabs of another node.
This patch fixes that issue by adding a node field to free_block so that
the caller can indicate which node currently uses a slab.
Also removes the check for the current node from kmalloc_cache_node since
the process may shift later to another node which may lead to an allocation
on another node than intended.

The address passed to io_remap_pfn_range() in hpet_mmap() does not need to
be converted using __pa(): it is already a physical address. This bug was
found and the patch suggested by Clay Harris.
I introduced this particular bug when making io_remap_pfn_range changes a
few months ago. In fact mmap()ing /dev/hpet has *never* previously worked:
before my changes __pa() was being executed on an ioremap()ed virtual
address, which is also invalid.

If error occurs while in v9fs_get_sb after it calles sget, the dentry object
of the root and its inode may be freed twice -- once while handling the error
in v9fs_get_sb, and second time when v9fs_get_sb calles deactivate_super
(which in turn calls v9fs_kill_super)

inode.

buf_check_size function checks if the conv buffer has enough space for the
performed operation, but it doesn't return the result back to the calling
function, only logs an error in the log.
The report-back-error functionality was lost when buf_check_size was
converted from macro to inline function. The return in the macro used to
exit from the functions that include it, after the conversion it just exits
from the inline function itself.
The patch makes buf_check_size to return flag and all functions that use
it check if they should perform the operation, or exit.

In the lead up to 2.6.13 I fixed a large number of reboot problems by
making the calling conventions consistent. Despite checking and double
checking my work it appears I missed an obvious one.
The S4 suspend code for PM_DISK_PLATFORM was also calling device_shutdown
without setting system_state, and was not calling the appropriate
reboot_notifier.
This patch fixes the bug by replacing the call of device_suspend with
kernel_poweroff_prepare.

Three minor sl811-hcd fixes:
- Elminate memory leak on one (rare) disable/shutdown path.
- For periodic transfers that don't need to be scheduled, update
urb->start_frame to represent the transfer phase correctly.
- Report the (single) port as removable, by default.
Since no drivers yet use start_frame or that part of the hub descriptor,
only that leak is likely to ever matter.
