All the current page_mkwrite() implementations also set the page dirty. Which
results in the set_page_dirty_balance() call to _not_ call balance, because the
page is already found dirty.
This allows us to dirty a _lot_ of pages without ever hitting
balance_dirty_pages(). Not good (tm).
Force a balance call if ->page_mkwrite() was successful.

Async signals should not be reported as sent by current in audit log. As
it is, we call audit_signal_info() too early in check_kill_permission().
Note that check_kill_permission() has that test already - it needs to know
if it should apply current-based permission checks. So the solution is to
move the call of audit_signal_info() between those.
Bogosity in question is easily reproduced - add a rule watching for e.g.
kill(2) from specific process (so that audit_signal_info() would not
short-circuit to nothing), say load_policy, watch the bogus OBJ_PID entry
in audit logs claiming that write(2) on selinuxfs file issued by
load_policy(8) had somehow managed to send a signal to syslogd...

VIA C3 Ezra-T has RevisionID equal to 1, but it needs RevisionKey to be 0
or CPU will ignore new frequency and will continue to work at old
frequency. New "revid_errata" option will force RevisionKey to be set to
0, whatever RevisionID is.
Additionaly "Longhaul" will not silently ignore unsuccessful transition.
It will try to check if "revid_errata" or "disable_acpi_c3" options need to
be enabled for this processor/system.
Same for Longhaul ver. 2 support. It will be disabled if none of above
options will work.
Best case scenario (with patch apllied and v2 enabled):
longhaul: VIA C3 'Ezra' [C5C] CPU detected. Longhaul v2 supported.
longhaul: Using northbridge support.
longhaul: VRM 8.5
longhaul: Max VID=1.350 Min VID=1.050, 13 possible voltage scales
longhaul: f: 300000 kHz, index: 0, vid: 1050 mV
[...]
longhaul: Voltage scaling enabled.
Worst case scenario:
longhaul: VIA C3 'Ezra-T' [C5M] CPU detected. Powersaver supported.
longhaul: Using northbridge support.
longhaul: Using ACPI support.
longhaul: VRM 8.5
longhaul: Claims to support voltage scaling but min & max are both 1.250. Voltage scaling disabled
longhaul: Failed to set requested frequency!

When using /proc/timer_stats on ppc64 I noticed the events/sec field wasnt
accurate. Sometimes the integer part was incorrect due to rounding (we
werent taking the fractional seconds into consideration).
The fraction part is also wrong, we need to pad the printf statement and
take the bottom three digits of 1000 times the value.

It turns out that there are a few other five-second timers in the
kernel, and if the timers get in sync, the load-average can get
artificially inflated by events that just happen to coincide.
So just offset the load average calculation it by a timer tick.
Noticed by Anders Boström, for whom the coincidence started triggering
on one of his machines with the JBD jiffies rounding code (JBD is one of
the subsystems that also end up using a 5-second timer by default).

We should generally prefer to return ERESTARTNOHAND rather than EINTR,
so that processes with unhandled signals that get ignored don't return
EINTR.
This can help with X startup issues:
Fatal server error:
xf86OpenConsole: VT_WAITACTIVE failed: Interrupted system call
although the real fix is having the X server always retry EINTR
regardless (since EINTR does happen for signals that have handlers
installed). Keithp has a patch for that.
Regardless, ERESTARTNOHAND is the correct thing to use.

The PCI device table in the powermac IDE driver isn't properly
terminated. Depending on how your kernel is linked and other random
factors, you can end up with this driver matched against any other PCI
device in your system, possibly crashing at boot.
Thanks to Heikki for tracking this down with me, the bug have been there
for some time, though it rarely hurts due to luck. In this case, the
switch from .22 to .23-rc9 is causing it to show up due to differences
in the resulting layout of .data I suppose.

When pinning and unpinning pagetables, we must protect them against
being used by other CPUs, lest they see the pagetable in an
intermediate read-only-but-not-pinned state.
When using split pte locks, doing this properly would require taking
all the pte locks for the pagetable while pinning, but this may overflow
the PREEMPT_BITS part of the preempt counter if the process has mapped
more than about 512M of memory.
However, failing to take the pte locks causes write-protect faults when
the pageout code is trying to clear the Access bit on a pte which is part
of a freshy created and still being pinned process after fork.
This is a short-term fix until the problem is solved properly.

It is ok to call prefetch() function with NULL argument, as specifically
commented in include/linux/prefetch.h. But in standard C, it is invalid
to dereference NULL pointer (see C99 standard 6.5.3.2 paragraph 4 and
note #84).
prefetch() has a memory reference for its argument.
Newer gcc versions (4.3 and above) will use that to conclude that "x"
argument is non-null and thus wreaking havok everywhere prefetch() was
inlined.
Fixed by removing cast and changing asm constraint.
[ It seems in theory gcc 4.2 could miscompile this too; although no
cases known. In 2.6.24 we should probably switch to
__builtin_prefetch() instead, but this is a simpler fix for now.

Gurudas Pai reports kernel BUG at arch/i386/mm/highmem.c:15! below
sys_remap_file_pages, while running Oracle database test on x86 in 6GB
RAM: kunmap thinks we're in_interrupt because the preempt count has
wrapped.
That's because __do_fault expected to unmap page_table, but one of its
two callers do_nonlinear_fault already unmapped it: let do_linear_fault
unmap it first too, and then there's no need to pass the page_table arg
down.
Why have we been so slow to notice this? Probably through forgetting
that the mapping_cap_account_dirty test means that sys_remap_file_pages
nowadays only goes the full nonlinear vma route on a few memory-backed
filesystems like ramfs, tmpfs and hugetlbfs.
[ It also depends on CONFIG_HIGHPTE, so it becomes even harder to
trigger in practice. Many who have need of large memory have probably
migrated to x86-64..

The PCI-E slot on T1000 connects directly to the Fire PCI chip with no
intervening bridges visible in the OBP tree.
Unfortunately the bus numbering of the device in that slot is
different (2) from the PCI host controller (0), and thus the
pci_bus_{read,write}_config_*() calls don't work out.
Complicating things further the Fire PCI controller has no config
space it responds to either.
For now treat this case specially so that devices in the slot work.
Longer term we need to perhaps cons up a dummy bridge between the Fire
and the PCI-E slot so that the bus hierarchy is complete inside of the
kernel and thus the bus numbering all works out right.

For the case where the source is not aligned modulo 8
we don't use load-twins to suck the data in and this
kills performance since normal loads allocate in the
L1 cache (unlike load-twin) and thus big memcpys swipe
the entire L1 D-cache.
We need to allocate a register window to implement this

TCP V4 sequence numbers are 32bits, and RFC 793 assumed a 250 KHz clock.
In order to follow network speed increase, we can use a faster clock, but
we should limit this clock so that the delay between two rollovers is
greater than MSL (TCP Maximum Segment Lifetime : 2 minutes)
Choosing a 64 nsec clock should be OK, since the rollovers occur every
274 seconds.
