Brian Wang reported that a FUSE filesystem exported through NFS could
return I/O errors on read.  This was traced to splice_direct_to_actor()
returning a short or zero count when racing with page invalidation.

However this is not FUSE or NFSD specific, other filesystems (notably
NFS) also call invalidate_inode_pages2() to purge stale data from the
cache.

If this happens while such pages are sitting in a pipe buffer, then
splice(2) from the pipe can return zero, and read(2) from the pipe can
return ENODATA.

The zero return is especially bad, since it implies end-of-file or
disconnected pipe/socket, and is documented as such for splice.  But
returning an error for read() is also nasty, when in fact there was no
error (data becoming stale is not an error).

The same problems can be triggered by "hole punching" with
madvise(MADV_REMOVE).

Fix this by not clearing the PG_uptodate flag on truncation and
invalidation.

  [IA64] Move include/asm-ia64 to arch/ia64/include/asm

This fixes a bug in operator precedence in the newly introduced vc_translate
macro.  Without this fix, the translation of some characters on the
kernel console is garbled.

This patch was copied to the e-mail list previously for testing.  Now,
all reports confirm that it works, so this is an official post for
application.

Currently function tty_ldisc_get() tries to load an ldisc driver module
only when tty_ldisc_try_get() returns -EAGAIN. This happens only if
module is being unloaded. If ldisc module is not loaded
tty_ldisc_try_get() returns -EINVAL and this case is not handled in
tty_ldisc_get(), so request_module() is not called.

Attached patch fixes this by calling request_module() if
tty_ldisc_try_get() returned any error code.

Some platform decide whether they support huge pages at boot time.  On
these, such as powerpc, HPAGE_SHIFT is a variable, not a constant, and is
set to 0 when there is no such support.

The patches to introduce multiple huge pages support broke that causing
the kernel to crash at boot time on machines such as POWER3 which lack
support for multiple page sizes.

When defining a symbol in vmlinux.lds, use the VMLINUX_SYMBOL macro.
VMLINUX_SYMBOL adds a prefix charactor.

You can't just use straight symbol names in common header files as they
dont take into consideration weird arch-specific ABI conventions.  in the
case of Blackfin/h8300, the ABI dictates that any C-visible symbols have
an underscore prefixed to them.  Thus all symbols in vmlinux.lds.h need to
be wrapped in VMLINUX_SYMBOL() so that each arch can put hide this magic
in their own files.

Each resource should be printed on its own line, so start snprintf'ing
at the beginning of the buffer every time through the loop.

Also, use scnprintf() rather than snprintf() when building up the
buffer to print.  scnprintf() returns the number of characters actually
written into the buffer (not including the trailing NULL).

snprintf() returns the number of characters that *would be* written,
assuming everything would fit in the buffer.  That's nice if we want to
resize the buffer to make sure everything fits, but in this case, I
just want to keep from overflowing the buffer, and it's OK if the
output is truncated.

Using snprintf() meant that my "len" could grow to be more than the
the buffer size, which makes "sizeof(buf) - len" negative, which causes
this alarming WARN_ON:
    http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=121736480005656&w=2

My commit 2b2a1ff6 introduced a regression
(sorry about that) for the odd case of exit_signal=0 (e.g. clone_flags=0).
This is not a normal use, but it's used by a case in the glibc test suite.

Dying with exit_signal=0 sends no signal, but it's supposed to wake up a
parent's blocked wait*() calls (unlike the delayed_group_leader case).
This fixes tracehook_notify_death() and its caller to distinguish a
"signal 0" wakeup from the delayed_group_leader case (with no wakeup).
