The current PDA code, which went in in post 2.6.19 has a flaw in that it
doesn't correctly cycle the GDT and %GS segment through the boot PDA,
the CPU PDA and finally the per-cpu PDA.
The bug generally doesn't show up if the boot CPU id is zero, but
everything falls apart for a non zero boot CPU id. The basically kills
voyager which is perfectly capable of doing non zero CPU id boots, so
voyager currently won't boot without this.
The fix is to be careful and actually do the GDT setups correctly.

mmc: Correct definition of R6

On 64-bit machines, if an atomic counter is explicitly set to a
negative value, the atomic_dec_if_positive function will decrement and
store the next smallest value in the atomic counter, contrary to its
intended operation.
The comparison to determine if the decrement will make the result
negative was done by the "addic." instruction, which operates on a
64-bit value, namely the zero-extended word loaded from the atomic
variable. This patch uses an explicit word compare (cmpwi) and
changes the addic. to an addi (also changing "=&r" to "=&b" so that r0
isn't used, and addi doesn't become li).
This also fixes a bug for both 32-bit and 64-bit in that previously
0x80000000 was considered positive, since the result after
decrementing is positive. Now it is considered negative.
Also, I clarify the return value in the comments just to make it clear
that the value returned is always the decremented value, even if that
value is not stored back to the atomic counter.

libata didn't used to init qc->dma_dir to any specific value on qc
initialization and command translation path didn't set qc->dma_dir if
the command doesn't need data transfer. This made non-data commands
to have random qc->dma_dir.
This usually doesn't cause problem because LLDs usually check
qc->protocol first and look at qc->dma_dir iff the command needs data
transfer but this doesn't hold for all LLDs.
It might be worthwhile to rename qc->dma_dir to qc->data_dir as we use
the field to tag data direction for both PIO and DMA protocols.
This problem has been spotted by James Bottomley.

NFS: Fix race in nfs_release_page()
invalidate_inode_pages2() may find the dirty bit has been set on a page
owing to the fact that the page may still be mapped after it was locked.
Only after the call to unmap_mapping_range() are we sure that the page
can no longer be dirtied.
In order to fix this, NFS has hooked the releasepage() method and tries
to write the page out between the call to unmap_mapping_range() and the
call to remove_mapping(). This, however leads to deadlocks in the page
reclaim code, where the page may be locked without holding a reference
to the inode or dentry.
Fix is to add a new address_space_operation, launder_page(), which will
attempt to write out a dirty page without releasing the page lock.

There were a few issues with the HCALL_STATS code:
- PURR cpu feature checks were backwards
- We iterated one entry off the end of the hcall_stats array
- Remove dead update_hcall_stats() function prototype
I noticed one thing while debugging, and that is we call H_ENTER (to set
up the MMU hashtable in early init) before we have done the cpu fixups.
This means we will execute the PURR SPR reads even on a CPU that isnt
capable of it. I wonder if we can move the CPU feature fixups earlier.

Using device_initcall makes it happen for every platform that
compiles this file in. This is really bad, for obvious reasons.
Instead, we use the .init field of the machine description. If
the platform needs the hook to do something specific it can provides
its own function and call mpc52xx_declare_of_platform_devices from
there. If not, the mpc52xx_declare_of_platform_devices function can
directly be used as the init hook.

When we switched over to the generic BUG mechanism we forgot to change
the assembly code which open-codes a WARN_ON() in enter_rtas(), so the
bug table got corrupted.
This patch provides an EMIT_BUG_ENTRY macro for use in assembly code,
and uses it in entry_64.S. Tested with CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE on ppc64
but not without -- I tried to turn it off but it wouldn't go away; I
suspect Aunt Tillie probably needed it.
This version gets __FILE__ and __LINE__ right in the assembly version --
rather than saying include/asm-powerpc/bug.h line 21 every time which is

fuse does not work on ARM due to cache incoherency issues - fuse wants
to use get_user_pages() to copy data from the current process into
kernel space. However, since this accesses userspace via the kernel
mapping, the kernel mapping can be out of date wrt data written to
userspace.
This can lead to unpredictable behaviour (in the case of fuse) or data
corruption for direct-IO.
This resolves debian bug #402876

Since get_user_pages() may be used with processes other than the
current process and calls flush_anon_page(), flush_anon_page() has to
cope in some way with non-current processes.
It may not be appropriate, or even desirable to flush a region of
virtual memory cache in the current process when that is different to
the process that we want the flush to occur for.
Therefore, pass the vma into flush_anon_page() so that the architecture
can work out whether the 'vmaddr' is for the current process or not.

The current interrupt injection mechanism might delay an interrupt under
the following circumstances:
- if injection fails because the guest is not interruptible (rflags.IF clear,
or after a 'mov ss' or 'sti' instruction). Userspace can check rflags,
but the other cases or not testable under the current API.
- if injection fails because of a fault during delivery. This probably
never happens under normal guests.
- if injection fails due to a physical interrupt causing a vmexit so that
it can be handled by the host.
In all cases the guest proceeds without processing the interrupt, reducing
the interactive feel and interrupt throughput of the guest.
This patch fixes the situation by allowing userspace to request an exit
when the 'interrupt window' opens, so that it can re-inject the interrupt
at the right time. Guest interactivity is very visibly improved.

number 0x5346414F (little endian 'OAFS') be allocated for the f_type field
of the fsinfo structure on Linux:
https://lists.openafs.org/pipermail/openafs-info/2006-December/024829.html
Add it to include/linux/magic.h, mostly as a way of publishing this number
and ensuring that no other filesystem accidentally uses it.

This reverts the new (unambiguous) definition of the TCP `before'
relation. As pointed out in an example by Herbert Xu, there is
existing code which implicitly requires the old definition in order
to work correctly.

Provide ACPI _PRT support for SN Altix systems.
The SN Altix platform does not conform to the
IOSAPIC IRQ routing model, so a new acpi_irq_model
(ACPI_IRQ_MODEL_PLATFORM) has been defined. The SN
platform specific code sets acpi_irq_model to
this new value, and keys off of it in acpi_register_gsi()
to avoid the iosapic code path.
