Use flush_cache_vmap() after creating mappings.  Also use BUG_ON()
rather than if() BUG().

These broke when find_first_bit/find_next_bit was added.

Patch from David Vrabel

Fix a trivial typo in a dma_unregister_dev printk.

Can't use _ffs() without first checking for zero, and if bits beyond
NR_CPUS set it'll give bogus results.  Use find_first_bit

We cannot always rely on ->biotail remaining untouched. Currently we
leak all the pinned user pages when doing cdda ripping at least, so I
see no way around keeping the bio pointer seperate and passing it back
in for unmap. Alternatively, we could invent a struct blk_map_data and
put it on the stack for passing to both map and unmap.

An unintentional sign extention caused non-ascii characters to be
stored incorrectly, leading to inaccessible files.  Changing a
declaration to unsigned char fixes the problem.

The external module support recently introduced caused a number of problems:
- To build an external module the Module.symvers file was needed
- To create the Module.symvers file a module was required
- If Module.symvers was missing kbuild boiled out with an error
- If vmlinux was missing also the stage 2 of module build failed (make -k)
- It was not documented what was needed to actually bauild a module

The following patch addresses this by adding the following functionality:
- Always generate the Module.symvers file
- Ignore a missing Module.symvers file
- Add a new target modules_prepare, it prepares the kernel for building
  external modules, and is also usefull with O=
- And it adds some more comments to Makefile.modpost, so others may follow
  it with some luck
- .modpost.cmd is no longer generated

This should close all reports on issues with respect to building external
modules with current kernel - which has been identified as kernel problems.

Looking again at the SELinux ptrace check, I believe that there is an
unrelated race due to the fact that the parent link is only updated after
releasing the task lock in ptrace_attach (and this is necessary as task lock
doesn't nest with write lock of tasklist_lock).

The patch below changes SELinux to save the tracing process' SID upon a
successful selinux_ptrace hook call and then use that SID in the ptrace check
in apply_creds in order to avoid such races.  This allows us to preserve the
fine-grained process-to-process ptrace check upon exec (vs.  the global
CAP_SYS_PTRACE privilege => PT_PTRACE_CAP flag used by the capability module)
while still avoiding races.

This patch sets the module license for mcheck/non-fatal.c.  The module

The partportbook is licensed under the GFDL and Linus agreed to remove

I pinged the author the first time on the 2nd of april but still didn't get
a reply, then send a patch to Linus to remove it last week but linus
ignored it.  Here's the patch again:

Duplicate definition of dma_unmap_single() should actually be

Both ->writepage() and ->writepages() should return 0 or a negative error

This patch removes the function to call a usermode helper if the hardware
and its firmware has a problem.  This feature is already implemented in the
user utility and the driver does not need to care about it.

From: William Lee Irwin III <wli@holomorphy.com>

mm/hugetlb.c is putting the destructor in head->lru.prev not head[1].mapping;
fix below along with nuking huge_page_release(), which simply duplicates
put_page().

By requiring that compound pages implement destructors we can drop some code
from put_page().

->writepage() is supposed to return zero or a negative error code.  Returning
the number of bytes written will confuse the VFS.

We have interesting deadlocks when slab decides to use order-1 allocations for
ext3_inode_cache.  This is because ext3_alloc_inode() needs to perform a
GFP_NOFS 1-order allocation.

Sometimes the 1-order allocation needs to free a huge number of pages (tens of
megabytes) before a 1-order grouping becomes available.  But the GFP_NOFS
allocator cannot free dcache (and hence icache) due to the deadlock problems
identified in shrink_dcache_memory().

So change slab so that it will force 0-order allocations for shrinkable VFS
objects.  We can handle those OK.
