task_struct->pesonality is "unsigned int", but sys_personality() paths use "unsigned long pesonality". This means that every assignment or comparison is not right. In particular, if this argument does not fit into "unsigned int" __set_personality() changes the caller's personality and then sys_personality() returns -EINVAL. Turn this argument into "unsigned int" and avoid overflows. Obviously, this is the user-visible change, we just ignore the upper bits. But this can't break the sane application. There is another thing which can confuse the poorly written applications. User-space thinks that this syscall returns int, not long. This means that the returned value can be negative and look like the error code. But note that libc won't be confused and thus errno won't be set, and with this patch the user-space can never get -1 unless sys_personality() really fails. And, most importantly, the negative RET != -1 is only possible if that app previously called personality(RET).

As pointed by Nick Piggin, ->page_mkwrite provides a way to keep a page locked until the associated PTE is marked dirty. Re-implement the fix by using this mechanism.

This reverts commit 49bbd815 ("fb_defio: fix for non-dirty ptes"). Although the fix provided is correct, it's been suggested to avoid the underlying race in the same way as it is currently done in filesystems like NFS, for maintainability. A following patch "fb_defio: redo fix for non-dirty ptes" will provide such an alternate fix.

The stack and data have different alignment requirements, so don't force them to wear the same shoe. Increase the data alignment to match that which the elf2flt linker script has always been using: 0x20 bytes. Not only does this bring the kernel loader in line with the toolchain, but it also fixes a swath of gcc tests which try to force larger alignment values but randomly fail when the FLAT loader fails to deliver.

Limit number of accumulated non-balloonable pages during inflation cycle, otherwise there is a chance we will be spinning and growing the list forever.

The C-state idle time is not calculated correctly, which will return the wrong residency time in C-state. It will have the following effects: 1. The system can't choose the deeper C-state when it is idle next time. Of course the system power is increased. E.g. On one server machine about 40W idle power is increased. 2. The powertop shows that it will stay in C0 running state about 95% time although the system is idle at most time. 2.6.35-rc1 regression caused-by: 2da513f5 (ACPI: Minor cleanup eliminating redundant PMTIMER_TICKS to NS conversion) Signed-off-by: Zhao Yakui <yakui.zhao@intel.com> Reported-by: Yu Zhidong <zhidong.yu@intel.com> Tested-by: Yu Zhidong <zhidong.yu@intel.com> Acked-by: Venkatesh Pallipadi <venki@google.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

Frederic reported that because swevents handling doesn't disable IRQs anymore, we can get a recursion of perf_adjust_period(), once from overflow handling and once from the tick. If both call ->disable, we get a double hlist_del_rcu() and trigger a LIST_POISON2 dereference. Since we don't actually need to stop/start a swevent to re-programm the hardware (lack of hardware to program), simply nop out these callbacks for the swevent pmu.

Wolfram Sang authored
I2C drivers can use the clientdata-pointer to point to private data. As I2C devices are not really unregistered, but merely detached from their driver, it used to be the drivers obligation to clear this pointer during remove() or a failed probe(). As a couple of drivers forgot to do this, it was agreed that it was cleaner if the i2c-core does this clearance when appropriate, as there is no guarantee for the lifetime of the clientdata-pointer after remove() anyhow. This feature was added to the core with commit e4a7b9b0 to fix the faulty drivers. As there is no need anymore to clear the clientdata-pointer, remove all current occurrences in the drivers to simplify the code and prevent confusion.
