This fixes the same problem as described in the patch "nohz: fix
printk_needs_cpu() return value on offline cpus" for the arch_needs_cpu()
primitive:
arch_needs_cpu() may return 1 if called on offline cpus. When a cpu gets
offlined it schedules the idle process which, before killing its own cpu,
will call tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick().
That function in turn will call arch_needs_cpu() in order to check if the
local tick can be disabled. On offline cpus this function should naturally
return 0 since regardless if the tick gets disabled or not the cpu will be
dead short after. That is besides the fact that __cpu_disable() should already
have made sure that no interrupts on the offlined cpu will be delivered anyway.
In this case it prevents tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() to call
select_nohz_load_balancer(). No idea if that really is a problem. However what
made me debug this is that on 2.6.32 the function get_nohz_load_balancer() is
used within __mod_timer() to select a cpu on which a timer gets enqueued.
If arch_needs_cpu() returns 1 then the nohz_load_balancer cpu doesn't get
updated when a cpu gets offlined. It may contain the cpu number of an offline
cpu. In turn timers get enqueued on an offline cpu and not very surprisingly
they never expire and cause system hangs.
This has been observed 2.6.32 kernels. On current kernels __mod_timer() uses
get_nohz_timer_target() which doesn't have that problem. However there might
be other problems because of the too early exit tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick()
in case a cpu goes offline.
This specific bug was indrocuded with 3c5d92a0 "nohz: Introduce
arch_needs_cpu".
In this case a cpu hotplug notifier is used to fix the issue in order to keep
the normal/fast path small. All we need to do is to clear the condition that
makes arch_needs_cpu() return 1 since it is just a performance improvement
which is supposed to keep the local tick running for a short period if a cpu
goes idle. Nothing special needs to be done except for clearing the condition.

Since commit a1afb637(switch /proc/irq/*/spurious to seq_file) all
/proc/irq/XX/spurious files show the information of irq 0.
Current irq_spurious_proc_open() passes on NULL as the 3rd argument,
which is used as an IRQ number in irq_spurious_proc_show(), to the
single_open(). Because of this, all the /proc/irq/XX/spurious file
shows IRQ 0 information regardless of the IRQ number.
To fix the problem, irq_spurious_proc_open() must pass on the
appropreate data (IRQ number) to single_open().

This follows the ARM change c01778001a
("ARM: 6379/1: Assume new page cache pages have dirty D-cache") for the
same rationale:
There are places in Linux where writes to newly allocated page
cache pages happen without a subsequent call to flush_dcache_page()
(several PIO drivers including USB HCD). This patch changes the
meaning of PG_arch_1 to be PG_dcache_clean and always flush the
D-cache for a newly mapped page in update_mmu_cache().
This addresses issues seen with executing binaries from MMC, in
addition to some of the other HCDs that don't explicitly do cache
management for their pipe-in buffers.

Note: this patch targets 2.6.37 and tries to be as simple as possible.
That is why it adds more copy-and-paste horror into fs/compat.c and
uglifies fs/exec.c, this will be cleanuped later.
compat_copy_strings() plays with bprm->vma/mm directly and thus has
two problems: it lacks the RLIMIT_STACK check and argv/envp memory
is not visible to oom killer.
Export acct_arg_size() and get_arg_page(), change compat_copy_strings()
to use get_arg_page(), change compat_do_execve() to do acct_arg_size(0)
as do_execve() does.
Add the fatal_signal_pending/cond_resched checks into compat_count() and
compat_copy_strings(), this matches the code in fs/exec.c and certainly
makes sense.

Brad Spengler published a local memory-allocation DoS that
evades the OOM-killer (though not the virtual memory RLIMIT):
http://www.grsecurity.net/~spender/64bit_dos.c
execve()->copy_strings() can allocate a lot of memory, but
this is not visible to oom-killer, nobody can see the nascent
bprm->mm and take it into account.
With this patch get_arg_page() increments current's MM_ANONPAGES
counter every time we allocate the new page for argv/envp. When
do_execve() succeds or fails, we change this counter back.
Technically this is not 100% correct, we can't know if the new
page is swapped out and turn MM_ANONPAGES into MM_SWAPENTS, but
I don't think this really matters and everything becomes correct
once exec changes ->mm or fails.

Previous baud rate setting code only has been tested with 3.5M/9600/
115200/230400/460800 bps, and recently we got a 3M bps device to test,
which needs to modify current MUL register setting, and with this
patch 2.5M/2M/1.5M/1M/0.5M should also work as they just use a MUL
value scale down from 3M's.
Also got some reference register setting from silicon guys for
different baud rates, which tries to keep the pre-scalar register value
to 16.

The DFS referral parsing code does a memchr() call to find the '\\'
delimiter that separates the hostname in the referral UNC from the
sharename. It then uses that value to set the length of the hostname via
pointer subtraction. Instead of subtracting the start of the hostname
however, it subtracts the start of the UNC, which causes the code to
pass in a hostname length that is 2 bytes too long.
