The install_special_mapping routine (used, for example, to setup the
vdso) skips the security check before insert_vm_struct, allowing a local
attacker to bypass the mmap_min_addr security restriction by limiting
the available pages for special mappings.
bprm_mm_init() also skips the check, and although I don't think this can
be used to bypass any restrictions, I don't see any reason not to have
the security check.

The desire to keep old names for the EVIOCGKEYCODE/EVIOCSKEYCODE while
extending them to support large scancodes was a mistake. While we tried
to keep ABI intact (and we succeeded in doing that, programs compiled
on older kernels will work on newer ones) there is still a problem with
recompiling existing software with newer kernel headers.
New kernel headers will supply updated ioctl numbers and kernel will
expect that userspace will use struct input_keymap_entry to set and
retrieve keymap data. But since the names of ioctls are still the same
userspace will happily compile even if not adjusted to make use of the
new structure and will start miraculously fail in the field.
To avoid this issue let's revert EVIOCGKEYCODE/EVIOCSKEYCODE definitions
and add EVIOCGKEYCODE_V2/EVIOCSKEYCODE_V2 so that userspace can explicitly
select the style of ioctls it wants to employ.

Cache ownership must be acquired by reading/writing data from the

Because the nwfpe support is unlikely to be used on new platforms
and requires CONFIG_OABI_COMPAT, which is not generally used with
ARMv7+, we shouldn't expect to build nwfpe support into a Thumb-2
kernel.
At present, nwfpe contains assembly code which isn't Thumb-2
compatible, and for now it doesn't appear useful to port this
code.
All ARMv7-A/R platforms necessarily have VFPv3 hardware floating-

This makes sense, because Thumb-2 code can't execute on plain
ARMv6 processors.
This will avoid accidentally configuring a broken kernel where the
config otherwise would allow multiple architecture versions to
coexist in the same kernel.
Not adding !CPU_V5 etc., because the chance of anyone trying to
put v5 and v7 in the same kernel is low, and I'm not aware of
any mach which can do this. These could be added later if it
matters.
Note that the rules may need to be refined if support for the
ARM1156J(F)-S processor is later added to the kernel, since this
processor supports the rare ARMv6T2 extensions, which add support
for Thumb-2 and a few other ARMv7 features.

Jon Nelson has found a test case which causes postgresql to fail with
the error:
psql:t.sql:4: ERROR: invalid page header in block 38269 of relation base/16384/16581
Under memory pressure, it looks like part of a file can end up getting
replaced by zero's. Until we can figure out the cause, we'll roll
back the change and use block_write_full_page() instead of
ext4_bio_write_page(). The new, more efficient writing function can
be used via the mount option mblk_io_submit, so we can test and fix
the new page I/O code.
To reproduce the problem, install postgres 8.4 or 9.0, and pin enough
memory such that the system just at the end of triggering writeback
before running the following sql script:
begin;
create temporary table foo as select x as a, ARRAY[x] as b FROM
generate_series(1, 10000000 ) AS x;
create index foo_a_idx on foo (a);
create index foo_b_idx on foo USING GIN (b);
rollback;
If the temporary table is created on a hard drive partition which is
encrypted using dm_crypt, then under memory pressure, approximately
30-40% of the time, pgsql will issue the above failure.
This patch should fix this problem, and the problem will come back if
the file system is mounted with the mblk_io_submit mount option.

Running the annotate branch profiler on three boxes, including my

96 996247 99 wq_worker_waking_up workqueue.c 677
The likely()s in this case were assuming that WORKER_NOT_RUNNING will
most likely be false. But this is not the case. The reason is
(and shown by adding trace_printks and testing it) that most of the time
WORKER_PREP is set.
In worker_thread() we have:
worker_clr_flags(worker, WORKER_PREP);
[ do work stuff ]
worker_set_flags(worker, WORKER_PREP, false);
(that 'false' means not to wake up an idle worker)
The wq_worker_sleeping() is called from schedule when a worker thread
is putting itself to sleep. Which happens most of the time outside
of that [ do work stuff ].
The wq_worker_waking_up is called by the wakeup worker code, which
is also callod outside that [ do work stuff ].
Thus, the likely and unlikely used by those two functions are actually
backwards.
Remove the annotation and let gcc figure it out.
