d4ee453bcf [S390] Export uaccess as non-gpl symbol.
Commit c1821c2e97 introduced the
uaccess structure that is used to select the correct set of user
copy functions for the different execution modes (standard vs.
noexec vs. z9 optimized user copy). The uaccess symbol is exported
with EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL. This breaks all non-gpl modules that use
user copy. To make them work again change the export to
EXPORT_SYMBOL.

7562f876cd [NET]: Rework dev_base via list_head (v3)
Cleanup of dev_base list use, with the aim to simplify making device
list per-namespace. In almost every occasion, use of dev_base variable
and dev->next pointer could be easily replaced by for_each_netdev
loop. A few most complicated places were converted to using
first_netdev()/next_netdev().

4043579252 [ARM] 4227/1: minor head.S fixups
Let's surround constructs like:

	orr	r3, r3, #(KERNEL_RAM_PADDR & 0x00f00000)

between .if .endif since (KERNEL_RAM_PADDR & 0x00f00000) is 0 in 99% of
all cases.

Also let's mask PHYS_OFFSET with 0x00f00000 instead of 0x00e00000.
Section mappings are really 1MB not 2MB and the 2MB groupping is
a higher level issue already much better enforced with

#if (PHYS_OFFSET & 0x001fffff)
#error "PHYS_OFFSET must be at an even 2MiB boundary!"
#endif

at the top of the file.

e90ddd813d [ARM] 4348/4: iop3xx: Give Linux control over PCI initialization
Currently the iop3xx platform support code assumes that RedBoot is the
bootloader and has already initialized the ATU.  Linux should handle this
initialization for three reasons:

1/ The memory map that RedBoot sets up is not optimal (page_to_dma and
virt_to_phys return different addresses).  The effect of this is that using
the dma mapping API for the internal bus dma units generates pci bus
addresses that are incorrect for the internal bus.

2/ Not all iop platforms use RedBoot

3/ If the ATU is already initialized it indicates that the iop is an add-in
card in another host, it does not own the PCI bus, and should not be
re-initialized.

Changelog:
* rather than change nr_controllers to zero, simply do not call
  pci_common_init

7fe3730de7 MSI: arch must connect the irq and the msi_desc
set_irq_msi() currently connects an irq_desc to an msi_desc. The archs call
it at some point in their setup routine, and then the generic code sets up the
reverse mapping from the msi_desc back to the irq.

set_irq_msi() should do both connections, making it the one and only call
required to connect an irq with it's MSI desc and vice versa.

The arch code MUST call set_irq_msi(), and it must do so only once it's sure
it's not going to fail the irq allocation.

Given that there's no need for the arch to return the irq anymore, the return
value from the arch setup routine just becomes 0 for success and anything else
for failure.

40ee9e9f8d PCI: fix sysfs rom file creation for BIOS ROM shadows
At one time, if a BIOS ROM shadow was detected for the boot video
device (stored at offset 0xc0000), we'd set a special resource flag,
IORESOURCE_ROM_SHADOW, so that the sysfs ROM file code could handle
it properly.  That broke along the way somewhere though, so current
kernels will be missing 'rom' files in sysfs if the video device
doesn't have an explicit ROM BAR.

This patch fixes the regression by moving the video fixup quirk to a
little later in the boot cycle (to avoid having its work undone by
PCI resource allocation) and checking in the PCI sysfs code whether
a rom file should be created due to a shadow resource, which is also
moved to a little later in the boot cycle so it will occur after the
video fixup.  Tested and works on my i386 test box.

6473d160b4 PCI: Cleanup the includes of <linux/pci.h>
I noticed that many source files include <linux/pci.h> while they do
not appear to need it. Here is an attempt to clean it all up.

In order to find all possibly affected files, I searched for all
files including <linux/pci.h> but without any other occurence of "pci"
or "PCI". I removed the include statement from all of these, then I
compiled an allmodconfig kernel on both i386 and x86_64 and fixed the
false positives manually.

My tests covered 66% of the affected files, so there could be false
positives remaining. Untested files are:

I would welcome test reports for these files. I am fine with removing
the untested files from the patch if the general opinion is that these
changes aren't safe. The tested part would still be nice to have.

6c2af35820 [PATCH] i386: Add missing !X86_PAE dependincy to the 2G/2G split.
Only 1GB-aligned kernel/user splits are now handled for PAE. The
2GB/2GB split attempts to avoid aliasing vmallocspace with the 1:1
mapping for physical memory by using an actual split of 1.875/2.125
to accommodate 128MB of vmallocspace out of what would otherwise
be a full 2GB for userspace. That attempt disturbs the alignment
required by PAE for 2GB/2GB splits, and furthermore does not provide
a 2GB/2GB split as advertised.

This patch resolves the issues here in two manners. The first is
by providing a true 2GB/2GB split in addition to the 1.875/2.125
split. The second is by renaming the 1.875/2.125 split to
CONFIG_VMSPLIT_2G_OPT analogously to CONFIG_VMSPLIT_3G_OPT, which
performs a similar manuever to avoid aliasing vmallocspace with
the 1:1 mapping for physical memory around the 3GB boundary. With
the 1.875/2.125 split properly-named, its config option is then
tagged as depending on !HIGHMEM to express the PAE implementation's
current inability to deal with such unaligned splits.

This patch is essentially a combination of two patches, one written
by Eric Biederman and the other by Eric Dumazet. If they could add
their Signed-off-by: to this, I'd be much obliged.

4637a74cf2 [PATCH] x86-64: Avoid overflows during apic timer calibration
- Use 64bit TSC calculations to avoid handling overflow
- Use 32bit unsigned arithmetic for the APIC timer. This
way overflows are handled correctly.
- Fix exit check of loop to account for apic timer counting down

This mainly removes a lot of code, replacing it with calls into the new 32bit
perfctr-watchdog.c

09198e6850 [PATCH] i386: Clean up NMI watchdog code
- Introduce a wd_ops structure
- Convert the various nmi watchdogs over to it
- This allows to split the perfctr reservation from the watchdog
setup cleanly.
- Do perfctr reservation globally as it should have always been
- Remove dead code referenced only by unused EXPORT_SYMBOLs

e3f1caeef9 [PATCH] x86-64: set node_possible_map at runtime - try 2
Set the node_possible_map at runtime on x86_64.  On a non NUMA system,
num_possible_nodes() will now say '1'.

8a336b0a4b [PATCH] x86-64: Dynamically adjust machine check interval
Background:
 We've found that MCEs (specifically DRAM SBEs) tend to come in bunches,
 especially when we are trying really hard to stress the system out.  The
 current MCE poller uses a static interval which does not care whether it
 has or has not found MCEs recently.

Description:
 This patch makes the MCE poller adjust the polling interval dynamically.
 If we find an MCE, poll 2x faster (down to 10 ms).  When we stop finding
 MCEs, poll 2x slower (up to check_interval seconds).  The check_interval
 tunable becomes the max polling interval.  The "Machine check events
 logged" printk() is rate limited to the check_interval, which should be
 identical behavior to the old functionality.

Result:
 If you start to take a lot of correctable errors (not exceptions), you
 log them faster and more accurately (less chance of overflowing the MCA
 registers).  If you don't take a lot of errors, you will see no change.

Alternatives:
 I considered simply reducing the polling interval to 10 ms immediately
 and keeping it there as long as we continue to find errors.  This felt a
 bit heavy handed, but does perform significantly better for the default
 check_interval of 5 minutes (we're using a few seconds when testing for
 DRAM errors).  I could be convinced to go with this, if anyone felt it
 was not too aggressive.

Testing:
 I used an error-injecting DIMM to create lots of correctable DRAM errors
 and verified that the polling interval accelerates.  The printk() only
 happens once per check_interval seconds.

Patch:
 This patch is against 2.6.21-rc7.
