taskstats_tgid_free() is called on copy_process's error path. This is wrong.
IF (clone_flags & CLONE_THREAD)
We should not clear ->signal->taskstats, current uses it,
it probably has a valid accumulated info.
ELSE
taskstats_tgid_init() set ->signal->taskstats = NULL,
there is nothing to free.
Move the callsite to __exit_signal(). We don't need any locking, entire
thread group is exiting, nobody should have a reference to soon to be
released ->signal.

If __vmalloc is called to allocate memory with GFP_ATOMIC in atomic
context, the chain of calls results in __get_vm_area_node allocating memory
for vm_struct with GFP_KERNEL, causing the 'sleeping from invalid context'
warning. This patch fixes it by passing the gfp flags along so
__get_vm_area_node allocates memory for vm_struct with the same flags.

The temp_priority field in zone is racy, as we can walk through a reclaim
path, and just before we copy it into prev_priority, it can be overwritten
(say with DEF_PRIORITY) by another reclaimer.
The same bug is contained in both try_to_free_pages and balance_pgdat, but
it is fixed slightly differently. In balance_pgdat, we keep a separate
priority record per zone in a local array. In try_to_free_pages there is
no need to do this, as the priority level is the same for all zones that we
reclaim from.
Impact of this bug is that temp_priority is copied into prev_priority, and
setting this artificially high causes reclaimers to set distress
artificially low. They then fail to reclaim mapped pages, when they are,
in fact, under severe memory pressure (their priority may be as low as 0).
This causes the OOM killer to fire incorrectly.
From: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org>
__zone_reclaim() isn't modifying zone->prev_priority. But zone->prev_priority
is used in the decision whether or not to bring mapped pages onto the inactive
list. Hence there's a risk here that __zone_reclaim() will fail because
zone->prev_priority ir large (ie: low urgency) and lots of mapped pages end up
stuck on the active list.
Fix that up by decreasing (ie making more urgent) zone->prev_priority as
__zone_reclaim() scans the zone's pages.
This bug perhaps explains why ZONE_RECLAIM_PRIORITY was created. It should be
possible to remove that now, and to just start out at DEF_PRIORITY?

The multithreaded-probing code has a problem: after one initcall level (eg,
core_initcall) has been processed, we will then start processing the next
level (postcore_initcall) while the kernel threads which are handling
core_initcall are still executing. This breaks the guarantees which the
layered initcalls previously gave us.
IOW, we want to be multithreaded _within_ an initcall level, but not between
different levels.
Fix that up by causing the probing code to wait for all outstanding probes at
one level to complete before we start processing the next level.

A number of new drivers require io{read,write}{8,16,32}{be,} family of io
operations. These are provided for the AVR32 by this patch in the form of
a series of macros.
Access to the (memory mapped) io space through these macros is defined to
be little endian only as little endian devices (such as PCI) are the main
consumer of IO access. If high speed access is required,
io{read,write}{16,32}be macros are supplied to perform native big endian
access to this io space.

When calling e.g. atomic_sub_return with a large constant, the
compiler may output an immediate that is too large for the sub
instruction in the middle of the loop.
Fix this by explicitly specifying the number of bits allowed in the
constraint. Also stop atomic_add_return() and friends from falling
back to their respective "sub" variants if the constant is too large
to fit in an immediate.

The transport class recv mempools are causing slab corruption.
We could hack around netlink's lack of mempool support like dm,
but it is just too ulgy (dm's hack is ugly enough :) when you need
to support broadcast.
This patch removes the recv pools. We have not used them even when
we were allocting 20 MB per session and the system only had 64 MBs.
And we have no pools on the send side and have been ok there. When
Peter's work gets merged we can use that since the network guys
are in favor of that approach and are not going to add mempools
everywhere.

The Cell CPU timebase has an erratum. When reading the entire 64 bits
of the timebase with one mftb instruction, there is a handful of cycles
window during which one might read a value with the low order 32 bits
already reset to 0x00000000 but the high order bits not yet incremeted
by one. This fixes it by reading the timebase again until the low order
32 bits is no longer 0. That might introduce occasional latencies if
hitting mftb just at the wrong time, but no more than 70ns on a cell
blade, and that was considered acceptable.

This patch reworks the feature fixup mecanism so vdso's can be fixed up.
The main issue was that the construct:
.long label (or .llong on 64 bits)
will not work in the case of a shared library like the vdso. It will
generate an empty placeholder in the fixup table along with a reloc,
which is not something we can deal with in the vdso.
The idea here (thanks Alan Modra !) is to instead use something like:
1:
.long label - 1b
That is, the feature fixup tables no longer contain addresses of bits of
code to patch, but offsets of such code from the fixup table entry
itself. That is properly resolved by ld when building the .so's. I've
modified the fixup mecanism generically to use that method for the rest
of the kernel as well.
Another trick is that the 32 bits vDSO included in the 64 bits kernel
need to have a table in the 64 bits format. However, gas does not
support 32 bits code with a statement of the form:
.llong label - 1b (Or even just .llong label)
That is, it cannot emit the right fixup/relocation for the linker to use
to assign a 32 bits address to an .llong field. Thus, in the specific
case of the 32 bits vdso built as part of the 64 bits kernel, we are
using a modified macro that generates:
.long 0xffffffff
.llong label - 1b
Note that is assumes that the value is negative which is enforced by
the .lds (those offsets are always negative as the .text is always
before the fixup table and gas doesn't support emiting the reloc the
other way around).

There are currently two versions of the functions for applying the
feature fixups, one for CPU features and one for firmware features. In
addition, they are both in assembly and with separate implementations
for 32 and 64 bits. identify_cpu() is also implemented in assembly and
separately for 32 and 64 bits.
This patch replaces them with a pair of C functions. The call sites are
slightly moved on ppc64 as well to be called from C instead of from
assembly, though it's a very small change, and thus shouldn't cause any
problem.
