73f460408c x86, quirks: Shut-up a long-standing gcc warning
So gcc nags about those since forever in randconfig builds.

arch/x86/kernel/quirks.c: In function ‘ati_ixp4x0_rev’:
arch/x86/kernel/quirks.c:361:4: warning: ‘b’ is used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized]
arch/x86/kernel/quirks.c: In function ‘ati_force_enable_hpet’:
arch/x86/kernel/quirks.c:367:4: warning: ‘d’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized]
arch/x86/kernel/quirks.c:357:6: note: ‘d’ was declared here
arch/x86/kernel/quirks.c:407:21: warning: ‘val’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized]

This function quirk is called on a SB400 chipset only anyway so the
distant possibility of a PCI access failing becomes almost impossible
there. Even if it did fail, then something else more serious is the
problem.

So zero-out the variables so that gcc shuts up but do a coarse check
on the PCI accesses at the end and signal whether any of them had an
error. They shouldn't but in case they do, we'll at least know and we
can address it.

1423bed239 x86, msr: Unify variable names
Make sure all MSR-accessing primitives which split MSR values in
two 32-bit parts have their variables called 'low' and 'high' for
consistence with the rest of the code and for ease of staring.

2dead15fb8 x86_64: Use __BOOT_DS instead_of __KERNEL_DS for safety
In startup_32, the running code still uses the initial GDT
located in setup. Thus, __BOOT_DS is preferred. Currently
__KERNEL_DS is lucky to equal to __BOOT_DS, but this is
not always a safe way.

b67bfe0d42 hlist: drop the node parameter from iterators
I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived

        list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member)

The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter:

        hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member)

Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only
they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking
exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate.

Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required:

 - Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h
 - Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones.
 - A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this
 was modified to use 'obj->member' instead.
 - Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator
 properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.

The semantic patch which is mostly the work of Peter Senna Tschudin is here:

1e142b29e2 kcmp: make it depend on CHECKPOINT_RESTORE
Since kcmp syscall has been implemented (initially on x86 architecture) a
number of other archs wire it up as well: xtensa, sparc, sh, s390, mips,
microblaze, m68k (not taking into account those who uses
<asm-generic/unistd.h> for syscall numbers definitions).

But the Makefile, which turns kcmp.o generation on still depends on former
config-x86.  Thus get rid of this limitation and make kcmp.o depend on
CHECKPOINT_RESTORE option.

This patch removes the useless and outdated bits.  The tools on nbd.sf.net
are fully documented in manpages, which is where documentation for the
non-kernel bits should live.

Additionally, add a reference to the MAINTAINERS file for the nbd-general
mailinglist that is used for discussion of the userland tools and the
kernel module already.

3a2d63f879 nbd: fsync and kill block device on shutdown
There are two problems with shutdown in the NBD driver.

1: Receiving the NBD_DISCONNECT ioctl does not sync the filesystem.

   This patch adds the sync operation into __nbd_ioctl()'s
   NBD_DISCONNECT handler.  This is useful because BLKFLSBUF is restricted
   to processes that have CAP_SYS_ADMIN, and the NBD client may not
   possess it (fsync of the block device does not sync the filesystem,
   either).

2: Once we clear the socket we have no guarantee that later reads will
   come from the same backing storage.

   The patch adds calls to kill_bdev() in __nbd_ioctl()'s socket
   clearing code so the page cache is cleaned, lest reads that hit on the
   page cache will return stale data from the previously-accessible disk.

Example:

    # qemu-nbd -r -c/dev/nbd0 /dev/sr0
    # file -s /dev/nbd0
    /dev/stdin: # UDF filesystem data (version 1.5) etc.
    # qemu-nbd -d /dev/nbd0
    # qemu-nbd -r -c/dev/nbd0 /dev/sda
    # file -s /dev/nbd0
    /dev/stdin: # UDF filesystem data (version 1.5) etc.

While /dev/sda has:

    # file -s /dev/sda
    /dev/sda: x86 boot sector; etc.

75f187aba5 nbd: support FLUSH requests
Currently, the NBD device does not accept flush requests from the Linux
block layer.  If the NBD server opened the target with neither O_SYNC nor
O_DSYNC, however, the device will be effectively backed by a writeback
cache.  Without issuing flushes properly, operation of the NBD device will
not be safe against power losses.

The NBD protocol has support for both a cache flush command and a FUA
command flag; the server will also pass a flag to note its support for
these features.  This patch adds support for the cache flush command and
flag.  In the kernel, we receive the flags via the NBD_SET_FLAGS ioctl,
and map NBD_FLAG_SEND_FLUSH to the argument of blk_queue_flush.  When the
flag is active the block layer will send REQ_FLUSH requests, which we
translate to NBD_CMD_FLUSH commands.

FUA support is not included in this patch because all free software
servers implement it with a full fdatasync; thus it has no advantage over
supporting flush only.  Because I [Paolo] cannot really benchmark it in a
realistic scenario, I cannot tell if it is a good idea or not.  It is also
not clear if it is valid for an NBD server to support FUA but not flush.
The Linux block layer gives a warning for this combination, the NBD
protocol documentation says nothing about it.

The patch also fixes a small problem in the handling of flags: nbd->flags
must be cleared at the end of NBD_DO_IT, but the driver was not doing
that.  The bug manifests itself as follows.  Suppose you two different
client/server pairs to start the NBD device.  Suppose also that the first
client supports NBD_SET_FLAGS, and the first server sends
NBD_FLAG_SEND_FLUSH; the second pair instead does neither of these two
things.  Before this patch, the second invocation of NBD_DO_IT will use a
stale value of nbd->flags, and the second server will issue an error every
time it receives an NBD_CMD_FLUSH command.

This bug is pre-existing, but it becomes much more important after this
patch; flush failures make the device pretty much unusable, unlike

ac2e5327a5 block/partitions: optimize memory allocation in check_partition()
Currently, sizeof(struct parsed_partitions) may be 64KB in 32bit arch, so
it is easy to trigger page allocation failure by check_partition,
especially in hotplug block device situation(such as, USB mass storage,
MMC card, ...), and Felipe Balbi has observed the failure.

This patch does below optimizations on the allocation of struct
parsed_partitions to try to address the issue:

- make parsed_partitions.parts as pointer so that the pointed memory can
  fit in 32KB buffer, then approximate 32KB memory can be saved

- vmalloc the buffer pointed by parsed_partitions.parts because 32KB is
  still a bit big for kmalloc

- given that many devices have the partition count limit, so only
  allocate disk_max_parts() partitions instead of 256 partitions always

UEFI 2.3.1D will include a change to the spec language mandating that a
GPT header must be greater than *or equal to* the size of the defined
structure.  While verifying that this would work on Linux, I discovered
that we're not actually checking the minimum bound at all.

The result of this is that when we verify the checksum, it's possible that
on a malformed header (with header_size of 0), we won't actually verify
any data.

d941aeae42 ipmi: add new kernel options to prevent automatic ipmi init
The configuration change building ipmi_si into the kernel precludes the
use of a custom driver that can utilize more than one KCS interface,
multiple IPMBs, and more than one BMC.  This capability is important for
fault-tolerant systems.

Even if the kernel option ipmi_si.trydefaults=0 is specified, ipmi_si
discovers and claims one of the KCS interfaces on a Stratus server.  The
inability to now prevent the kernel from managing this device is a
regression from previous kernels.  The regression breaks a capability
fault-tolerant vendors have relied upon.

To support both ACPI opregion access and the need to avoid activation of
ipmi_si on some platforms, we've added two new kernel options,
ipmi_si.tryacpi and ipmi_si.trydmi be added to prevent ipmi_si from
initializing when these options are set to 0 on the kernel command line.
With these options at the default value of 1, ipmi_si init proceeds
according to the kernel default.

7175c61cc6 idr: explain WARN_ON_ONCE() on negative IDs out-of-range ID
Until recently, when an negative ID is specified, idr functions used to
ignore the sign bit and proceeded with the operation with the rest of
bits, which is bizarre and error-prone.  The behavior recently got changed
so that negative IDs are treated as invalid but we're triggering
WARN_ON_ONCE() on negative IDs just in case somebody was depending on the
sign bit being ignored, so that those can be detected and fixed easily.

We only need this for a while.  Explain why WARN_ON_ONCE()s are there and
that they can be removed later.

0ffc2a9c80 idr: implement lookup hint
While idr lookup isn't a particularly heavy operation, it still is too
substantial to use in hot paths without worrying about the performance
implications.  With recent changes, each idr_layer covers 256 slots
which should be enough to cover most use cases with single idr_layer
making lookup hint very attractive.

This patch adds idr->hint which points to the idr_layer which
allocated an ID most recently and the fast path lookup becomes

	if (look up target's prefix matches that of the hinted layer)
		return hint->ary[ID's offset in the leaf layer];

which can be inlined.

idr->hint is set to the leaf node on idr_fill_slot() and cleared from
free_layer().
