Patch from Rik van Riel <riel@imladris.surriel.com> If a process cannot exit because it's stuck in eg. a driver, it doesn't make sense to have the OOM killer kill it repeatedly; that could lead to a hung system. Instead, kill another process if the first process we tried to kill hasn't made any move to exit within 5 seconds. This way we have a much better chance of recovering the system.

Patch from "Martin J. Bligh" <mbligh@aracnet.com> Fixes up the logic and code which is used to suppress the IRQ balancing code. We now just have a single boolean, "irqbalance_disabled". The initial value comes from the per-platform "NO_BALANCE_IRQ" constant. If the platform defaults to "on", users can override this with the "noirqbalance" kernel boot option.

Patch from Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com> When prune_icache coincides with unmounting, invalidate_inodes notices the inode it's working on as busy but doesn't wait: Self-destruct in 5 seconds message, and later iput oopses on freed super_block. Neither end is a fast path, so the patch just adds iprune_sem for exclusion. The semaphore is held across dispose_list so that dispose_list->clear_inode->destroy_inode cannot reference a destroyed superblock.

This check is not needed - the PMD is known to be present.

Patch from Maneesh Soni <maneesh@in.ibm.com> Turns out that sysfs is doing dget() on a zero-ref dentry. That's a bug, but dcache is no longer detecting it. The check was removed because with lockless d_lookup, there can be cases when d_lookup and dput are going on concurrently, If d_lookup happens earlier then it may do dget() on a dentry for which dput() has decremented the ref count to zero. This race is handled by taking the per dentry lock and checking the DCACHE_UNHASHED flag. The patch open-codes that part of d_lookup(), and restores the BUG check in dget().

Use interruptible sleep rather than uninterruptible to avoid perturbing load average.

Use the early ioremap code to parse the Static Resource Affinity Table on x440 machines.

Patch from Patricia Gaughen <gone@us.ibm.com>, Dave Hansen <haveblue@us.ibm.com> It provides a very early sort of kmap-by-hand. The patch is used by the x440 discontigmem to map the srat tables into low memory so that the memory can be setup. This remap function is used very early in the boot process... at the start of setup_arch(). This functionality is only available to Summit and NUMAQ. It will work on other platforms, but they do not need it.

Patch from Thomas Schlichter <schlicht@uni-mannheim.de> Make flush_tlb_all() preempt-safe. Same as the ia32 fix.

Patch from Joakim Tjernlund <joakim.tjernlund@lumentis.se> Here is another update(against BK curr) for crc32(). A kind soul pointed out the optimizations below. lib/crc32defs.h: - Make it possible to define new values for CRC_LE_BITS/CRC_BE_BITS without modifying the source. lib/crc32.c: - Eliminate the need for ENDIAN_SHIFT. Saves a 24 bit shift in the byte loops. - Swap the XOR expression in DO_CRC. gcc for x86 can not do that simple optimization itself(gcc 3.2.2 and RH gcc 2.96 tested). Will improve performance with 20-25% on x86.

Spotted by Anton Blanchard: Our attempt to limit the interrupts-off time in slab wasn't very effective. #ifndef DEBUG is never true.

Rework this function so that we only make the indirect call to the page-freeing function on the final put_page(), rather than on every invokation.

Patch from Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com> Userspace shows huge elapsed time across jiffies wrap: with USER_HZ less then HZ, sys_times needs jiffies_64 to calculate its retval.

From Tim Schmielau <tim@physik3.uni-rostock.de> Force jiffies to start out at five-minutes-before-wrap. To find jiffy-wrapping bugs.

make rpm has been broken in several kernel versions, fix it. Solves http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=373 which Paolo Ciarrocchi pushed me to fix. 1) Moved make rpm to the noconfig section, thus allowing it to see the clean target. 2) Fixed the commandline for find 3) Use rpmbuild if present 4) In mkspec use the generic all target, and drop the dep target This made the build command arch independent

These are minor fixes for swsusp and S3 sleep. - #ifdef mess in acpi_save_state_mem() is simplified - better error handling in reserving bootmem - handle video bioses that play with segment registers - automagic support for S3 on toshiba notebook - don't try to sync() when pdflush is already stopped - reorder actions to make pdflush not complain
