Under Xen 64 bit guests actually run their kernel in ring 3,
however the hypervisor takes care of squashing descriptor the
RPLs transparently (in order to allow them to continue to
differentiate between user and kernel space CS using the RPL).
Therefore the Xen paravirt backend should use RPL==0 instead of
1 (or 3). Using RPL==1 causes generic arch code to take
incorrect code paths because it uses "testl $3, <CS>, je foo"
type tests for a userspace CS and this considers 1==userspace.
This issue was previously masked because get_kernel_rpl() was
omitted when setting CS in kernel_thread(). This was fixed when
kernel_thread() was unified with 32 bit in
f443ff4201.

Though I must admit I didn't find any *explicit* load of

and set it to a known value.

agp_amd64_init() and agp_amd64_cleanup should be called only
when gart_iommu is not called earlier (that is, the GART IOMMU

With the recent irq migration fixes (post 2.6.32), Gary Hade has noticed
"No IRQ handler for vector" messages during the 2.6.33-rc1 kernel boot on IBM
AMD platforms and root caused the issue to this commit:

> x86: Remove move_cleanup_count from irq_cfg
As part of this patch, we have removed the move_cleanup_count check
in smp_irq_move_cleanup_interrupt(). With this change, we can run into a
situation where an irq cleanup interrupt on a cpu can cleanup the vector
mappings associated with multiple irqs, of which one of the irq's migration
might be still in progress. As such when that irq hits the old cpu, we get
the "No IRQ handler" messages.
Fix this by checking for the irq_cfg's move_in_progress and if the move
is still in progress delay the vector cleanup to another irq cleanup
interrupt request (which will happen when the irq starts arriving at the
new cpu destination).

Recently, some distros have started shipping versions of gcc which
default to -march=i686. This breaks building kernels for pre-i686
machines, even if they have been selected in Kconfig, due to the
generation of CMOV instructions.
There isn't enough benefit to try to preserve the generation of these
instructions even when selected, so simply force -march=i386 for the
decompressor when building a 32-bit kernel.

BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null)
IP: [<c0580d35>] dma_debug_device_change+0x5d/0x117
The problem is that the dma_debug_device_change notifier function is
added to the bus notifier chain even though the dma_entry_hash array
was never initialized. If dma debugging is disabled, this patch both
prevents dma_debug_device_change notifiers from being added to the

set_desc_affinity() is already checking if the incoming cpu mask
intersects with the cpu online mask or not. So there is no need
for the apic op cpu_mask_to_apicid_and() to check again
and return BAD_APICID.
Remove the BAD_APICID return value from cpu_mask_to_apicid_and()
and also fix set_desc_affinity() to return -1 instead of using BAD_APICID
to represent error conditions (as cpu_mask_to_apicid_and() can return
logical or physical apicid values and BAD_APICID is really to represent
bad physical apic id).

I added blk_run_backing_dev on page_cache_async_readahead so readahead I/O
is unpluged to improve throughput on especially RAID environment.
The normal case is, if page N become uptodate at time T(N), then T(N) <=
T(N+1) holds. With RAID (and NFS to some degree), there is no strict
ordering, the data arrival time depends on runtime status of individual
disks, which breaks that formula. So in do_generic_file_read(), just
after submitting the async readahead IO request, the current page may well
be uptodate, so the page won't be locked, and the block device won't be
implicitly unplugged:
if (PageReadahead(page))
page_cache_async_readahead()
if (!PageUptodate(page))
goto page_not_up_to_date;
//...
page_not_up_to_date:
lock_page_killable(page);
Therefore explicit unplugging can help.
Following is the test result with dd.

RTC core won't allow wakeup alarms to be set if RTC devices' parent (i.e.
i2c_client or spi_device) isn't wakeup capable.
For I2C devices there is I2C_CLIENT_WAKE flag exists that we can pass via
board info, and if set, I2C core will initialize wakeup capability. For
SPI devices there is no such flag at all.
I believe that it's not platform code responsibility to allow or disallow
wakeups, instead, drivers themselves should set the capability if a device
can trigger wakeups.
That's what drivers/base/power/sysfs.c says:
* It is the responsibility of device drivers to enable (or disable)
* wakeup signaling as part of changing device power states, respecting
* the policy choices provided through the driver model.
I2C and SPI RTC devices send wakeup events via interrupt lines, so we
should set the wakeup capability if IRQ is routed.
Ideally we should also check irq for wakeup capability before setting
device's capability, i.e.
if (can_irq_wake(irq))
device_set_wakeup_capable(&client->dev, 1);
But there is no can_irq_wake() call exist, and it is not that trivial to
implement it for all interrupts controllers and complex/cascaded setups.
drivers/base/power/sysfs.c also covers these cases:
* Devices may not be able to generate wakeup events from all power
* states. Also, the events may be ignored in some configurations;
* for example, they might need help from other devices that aren't
* active
So there is no guarantee that wakeup will actually work, and so I think
there is no point in being pedantic wrt checking IRQ wakeup capability.

This patch renames sdhci-of.c to sdhci-of-core.c before reorganizing the

The driver is still built as sdhci-of despite the rename of the file. No

Daniel Drake noticed a crash in the error path of mmc_attach_sdio(). This
bug is discussed at http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/9707.
BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at 6b6b6c57
IP: [<b066d6e2>] sdio_remove_func+0x9/0x27
Call Trace:
[<b066cfb4>] ? mmc_sdio_remove+0x34/0x65
[<b066d1fc>] ? mmc_attach_sdio+0x217/0x240
[<b066a22f>] ? mmc_rescan+0x1a2/0x20f
[<b042e9a0>] ? worker_thread+0x156/0x1e
We need to accurately track how many SDIO functions have been initialised
(and keep card->sdio_funcs in sync) so that we don't try to remove more
functions than we initialised if we hit the error path in
mmc_attach_sdio().
Without this patch if we hit the error path in mmc_attach_sdio() we run
the risk of deferencing invalid memory in sdio_remove_func(), leading to a
crash.

sdio_remove_func() needs to be more careful about reference counting. It
can be called in error paths where sdio_add_func() has never been called
e.g. mmc_attach_sdio error path --> mmc_sdio_remove --> sdio_remove_func

Thanks to Roland who pointed out de_thread() issues.
Currently we add sub-threads to ->real_parent->children list. This buys
nothing but slows down do_wait().
With this patch ->children contains only main threads (group leaders).
The only complication is that forget_original_parent() should iterate over
sub-threads by hand, and de_thread() needs another list_replace() when it
changes ->group_leader.
Henceforth do_wait_thread() can never see task_detached() && !EXIT_DEAD
tasks, we can remove this check (and we can unify do_wait_thread() and
ptrace_do_wait()).
This change can confuse the optimistic search in mm_update_next_owner(),
but this is fixable and minor.
Perhaps badness() and oom_kill_process() should be updated, but they
should be fixed in any case.
