That is because __after_dc_op() already reads it for status check, so it
is better anyways to use that "newer" value.
Also reduces the clutter in callers for passing from/to these routines.

As DW Mobile Storage databook says it's required to use "Hold Register"
if card is enumerated in SDR12 or SDR25 modes.
It means we need to act in the same way as in Altera's Socfpga
implementation - set "use hold reg" bit in commad.
Note that for upstream proper solution would be to remove
dw_mci_pltfm_prepare_command() at all and set the bit right in
dw_mci_prepare_command() for all platforms.

Earlycon calculates UART clock as "BASE_BAUD * 16". In case of ARC
"BASE_BAUD" is calculated dynamically in runtime, basically it is an
alias to arc_early_base_baud(), which in turn just does
"arc_base_baud/16".
8250 UART on AXS/SDP board uses 33.3MHz clock source which is set in
"arc_base_baud" with this change.
Additional compatibility string "snps,arc-sdp" is introduced as well
because there're different flavours of AXS boards but they all share the
same motherboard and so it's possible to re-use the same code for
motherbord even if CPU daughterboard changes.

Back when ARC700 4.10 was released, the related kernel features were
tied to this config item so they could be disabled in one shot (i.e.
LLOCK/SCOND, SWAPE, RTSC..)
That having happened a while back, all new ARC customers weill get 4.11+
so those features can be assumed to be present and need not be tied to a
top-level (we still retain the ability to individually disable them).
Further, since ARCv2 also shares some of those feautes, removing it
simplifies things a bit in Kconfig

Two watchdog changes that came through different trees had a non
conflicting conflict, that is, one changed the semantics of a variable
but no actual code conflict happened. So the merge appeared fine, but
the resulting code did not behave as expected.
Commit 195daf665a62 ("watchdog: enable the new user interface of the
watchdog mechanism") changes the semantics of watchdog_user_enabled,
which thereafter is only used by the functions introduced by
b3738d293233 ("watchdog: Add watchdog enable/disable all functions").
There further appears to be a distinct lack of serialization between
setting and using watchdog_enabled, so perhaps we should wrap the
{en,dis}able_all() things in watchdog_proc_mutex.
This patch fixes a s2r failure reported by Michal; which I cannot
readily explain. But this does make the code internally consistent
again.

In commit 8ff16cf77ce3 ("Documentation: devicetree: m25p80: add "nor-jedec"
binding"), we added a generic "nor-jedec" binding to catch all
mostly-compatible SPI NOR flash which can be detected via the READ ID
opcode (0x9F). This was discussed and reviewed at the time, however
objections have come up since then as part of this discussion:
http://lkml.kernel.org/g/20150511224646.GJ32500@ld-irv-0074
It seems the parties involved agree that "jedec,spi-nor" does a better
job of capturing the fact that this is SPI-specific, not just any NOR
flash.
This binding was only merged for v4.1-rc1, so it's still OK to change
the naming.
At the same time, let's move the documentation to a better name.
Next up: stop referring to code (drivers/mtd/devices/m25p80.c) from the
documentation.

NUMA balancing is meant to be disabled by default on UMA machines but
the check is using nr_node_ids (highest node) instead of
num_online_nodes (online nodes).
The consequences are that a UMA machine with a node ID of 1 or higher
will enable NUMA balancing. This will incur useless overhead due to
minor faults with the impact depending on the workload. These are the
impact on the stats when running a kernel build on a single node machine
whose node ID happened to be 1:

This issue is because when calling unset_migratetype_isolate() to unset

if (order >= pageblock_order) {
page_idx = page_to_pfn(page) & ((1 << MAX_ORDER) - 1);
buddy_idx = __find_buddy_index(page_idx, order);
buddy = page + (buddy_idx - page_idx);
if (!is_migrate_isolate_page(buddy)) {
But the begin addr of this part of CMA memory is very close to a part of
memory that is reserved at boot time (not in buddy system). So add a
check before accessing it.

{u,g}id_valid call {u,g}id_eq, which calls __k{u,g}id_val on both

constant 0, which makes {u,g}id_valid always return false. Change
{u,g}id_valid to compare their argument against -1 instead. That produces
identical results in the normal CONFIG_MULTIUSER=y case, but with
!CONFIG_MULTIUSER will make {u,g}id_valid constant-fold into "return

root->ino_ida is used for kernfs inode number allocations. Since IDA has
a layered structure, different IDs can reside on the same layer, which
is currently accounted to some memory cgroup. The problem is that each
kmem cache of a memory cgroup has its own directory on sysfs (under
/sys/fs/kernel/<cache-name>/cgroup). If the inode number of such a
directory or any file in it gets allocated from a layer accounted to the
cgroup which the cache is created for, the cgroup will get pinned for
good, because one has to free all kmem allocations accounted to a cgroup
in order to release it and destroy all its kmem caches. That said we
must not account layers of ino_ida to any memory cgroup.
Since per net init operations may create new sysfs entries directly
(e.g. lo device) or indirectly (nf_conntrack creates a new kmem cache
per each namespace, which, in turn, creates new sysfs entries), an easy
way to reproduce this issue is by creating network namespace(s) from
inside a kmem-active memory cgroup.

Not all kmem allocations should be accounted to memcg. The following
patch gives an example when accounting of a certain type of allocations to
memcg can effectively result in a memory leak. This patch adds the
__GFP_NOACCOUNT flag which if passed to kmalloc and friends will force the
allocation to go through the root cgroup. It will be used by the next
patch.
Note, since in case of kmemleak enabled each kmalloc implies yet another
allocation from the kmemleak_object cache, we add __GFP_NOACCOUNT to
gfp_kmemleak_mask.
Alternatively, we could introduce a per kmem cache flag disabling
accounting for all allocations of a particular kind, but (a) we would not
be able to bypass accounting for kmalloc then and (b) a kmem cache with
this flag set could not be merged with a kmem cache without this flag,
which would increase the number of global caches and therefore
fragmentation even if the memory cgroup controller is not used.
Despite its generic name, currently __GFP_NOACCOUNT disables accounting
only for kmem allocations while user page allocations are always charged.
To catch abusing of this flag, a warning is issued on an attempt of
passing it to mem_cgroup_try_charge.

The journal revoke block recovery code does not check r_count for
sanity, which means that an evil value of r_count could result in
the kernel reading off the end of the revoke table and into whatever
garbage lies beyond. This could crash the kernel, so fix that.
However, in testing this fix, I discovered that the code to write
out the revoke tables also was not correctly checking to see if the
block was full -- the current offset check is fine so long as the
revoke table space size is a multiple of the record size, but this
is not true when either journal_csum_v[23] are set.

Currently when journal restart fails, we'll have the h_transaction of
the handle set to NULL to indicate that the handle has been effectively
aborted. We handle this situation quietly in the jbd2_journal_stop() and just
free the handle and exit because everything else has been done before we
attempted (and failed) to restart the journal.
Unfortunately there are a number of problems with that approach
introduced with commit
41a5b913197c "jbd2: invalidate handle if jbd2_journal_restart()
fails"
First of all in ext4 jbd2_journal_stop() will be called through
__ext4_journal_stop() where we would try to get a hold of the superblock
by dereferencing h_transaction which in this case would lead to NULL
pointer dereference and crash.
In addition we're going to free the handle regardless of the refcount
which is bad as well, because others up the call chain will still
reference the handle so we might potentially reference already freed
memory.
Moreover it's expected that we'll get aborted handle as well as detached
handle in some of the journalling function as the error propagates up
the stack, so it's unnecessary to call WARN_ON every time we get
detached handle.
And finally we might leak some memory by forgetting to free reserved
handle in jbd2_journal_stop() in the case where handle was detached from
the transaction (h_transaction is NULL).
Fix the NULL pointer dereference in __ext4_journal_stop() by just
calling jbd2_journal_stop() quietly as suggested by Jan Kara. Also fix
the potential memory leak in jbd2_journal_stop() and use proper
handle refcounting before we attempt to free it to avoid use-after-free
issues.
And finally remove all WARN_ON(!transaction) from the code so that we do
not get random traces when something goes wrong because when journal
restart fails we will get to some of those functions.

In function dmi_present(), dmi_walk_early() calls dmi_table(), which
calls dmi_decode(), which ultimately calls dmi_save_uuid(). This last
function makes a decision based on the value of global variable
dmi_ver. The problem is that this variable is set right _after_
dmi_walk_early() returns. So dmi_save_uuid() always sees dmi_ver == 0
regardless of the actual version implemented.
This causes /sys/class/dmi/id/product_uuid to always use the old
ordering even on systems implementing DMI/SMBIOS 2.6 or later, which
should use the new ordering.
This is broken since kernel v3.8 for legacy DMI implementations and
since kernel v3.10 for SMBIOS 2 implementations. SMBIOS 3
implementations with the 64-bit entry point are not affected.
The first breakage does not matter much as in practice legacy DMI
implementations are always for versions older than 2.6, which is when
the UUID ordering changed. The second breakage is more problematic as
