1e86240f3f [PATCH] IDE: Touch NMI watchdog during resume from STR
When resuming from suspend-to-RAM, the NMI watchdog detects a lockup in
ide_wait_not_busy.  Here's a screenshot of the trace taken by a digital
camera: http://www.uamt.feec.vutbr.cz/rizeni/pom/DSC03510-2.JPG

Let's touch the NMI watchdog in ide_wait_not_busy.  The system then resumes
correctly from STR.

c39df470e0 [PATCH] kprobe-booster: disable in preemptible kernel
The kprobe-booster's safety check against preemption does not work well
now, because the preemption count has been modified by read_rcu_lock() in
atomic_notifier_call_chain() before we check it.  So, I'd like to prevent
boosting kprobe temporarily if the kernel is preemptable.

Now we are searching for the good solution.

d5a2601734 [PATCH] i386/x86-64: Add user_mode checks to profile_pc for oprofile
Fixes a obscure user space triggerable crash during oprofiling.

Oprofile calls profile_pc from NMIs even when user_mode(regs) is not true and
the program counter is inside the kernel lock section. This opens
a race - when a user program jumps to a kernel lock address and
a NMI happens before the illegal page fault exception is raised
and the program has a unmapped esp or ebp then the kernel could
oops. NMIs have a higher priority than exceptions so that could
happen.

Add user_mode checks to i386/x86-64 profile_pc to prevent that.

8477b55ba1 [PATCH] i386: remove redundant might_sleep() in user accessors.
On i386, the user space accessor functions copy_from/to_user() both invoke
might_sleep(), do a quick sanity check, and then pass the work on to their
__copy_from/to_user() counterparts, which again invoke might_sleep().
Given that no actual work happens between these two calls, it is best to
eliminate one of the redundant might_sleep()s.

e78a887a59 [PATCH] i386 kexec: allow the kexec on panic support to compile on voyager
This patch removes the foolish assumption that SMP implied local apics.
That assumption is not-true on the Voyager subarch.  This makes that
dependency explicit, and allows the code to build.

What gets disabled is just an optimization to get better crash dumps so the
support should work if there is a kernel that will initialization on the
voyager subarch under those harsh conditions.

Hopefully we can figure out how to initialize apics in init_IRQ and remove
the need to disable io_apics and this dependency.

9a865ffa34 [PATCH] zoned vm counters: conversion of nr_slab to per zone counter
- Allows reclaim to access counter without looping over processor counts.

- Allows accurate statistics on how many pages are used in a zone by
  the slab. This may become useful to balance slab allocations over
  various zones.

65ba55f500 [PATCH] zoned vm counters: convert nr_mapped to per zone counter
nr_mapped is important because it allows a determination of how many pages of
a zone are not mapped, which would allow a more efficient means of determining
when we need to reclaim memory in a zone.

We take the nr_mapped field out of the page state structure and define a new
per zone counter named NR_FILE_MAPPED (the anonymous pages will be split off
from NR_MAPPED in the next patch).

We replace the use of nr_mapped in various kernel locations.  This avoids the
looping over all processors in try_to_free_pages(), writeback, reclaim (swap +
zone reclaim).
