Appended patch fixes an oops while changing the vsyscall sysctl.
I am sure no one tested this code before integrating into mainline :(
BTW, using ioremap() in vsyscall_sysctl_change() to get the virtual
address of a kernel symbol sounds like an over kill.. I wonder if we
can define a simple __va_vsymbol() which will return directly the
kernel direct mapping. comments in the code which says gcc has trouble
with __va(__pa()) sounds bogus to me. __pa() on a vsyscall address will
not work anyhow :(
And also, the whole nop out syscall in vsyscall page infrastructure
(vsyscall_sysctl_change()) is added to make some attacks difficult,
and yet I don't see this nop out being done by default. This area
requires more cleanups?
Fix an oops with __pa_vsymbol(). VSYSCALL_FIRST_PAGE is a fixmap index.
We want the starting virtual address of the vsyscall page and not the index.

msr_class_cpu_callback() can be marked __cpuinit, being the notifier callback
for a __cpuinitdata notifier_block. So can be marked msr_device_create() too,
called only from the newly-__cpuinit msr_class_cpu_callback() or from
__init-marked msr_init().

- Fix resource leakage in error case within detect_cache_attributes()
- Don't register hotcpu notifier when cache_add_dev() returns error
- Introduce cache_dev_map cpumask to track whether cache interface for
CPU is successfully added by cache_add_dev() or not.
cache_add_dev() may fail with out of memory error. In order to
avoid cache_remove_dev() with that uninitialized cache interface when
CPU_DEAD event is delivered we need to have the cache_dev_map cpumask.
(We cannot change cache_add_dev() from CPU_ONLINE event handler
to CPU_UP_PREPARE event handler. Because cache_add_dev() needs
to do cpuid and store the results with its CPU online.)

On platforms that copy sys_tz into the vdso (currently only x86_64, soon to
include powerpc), it is possible for the vdso to get out of sync if a user
calls (admittedly unusual) settimeofday(NULL, ptr).
This patch adds a hook for architectures that set
CONFIG_GENERIC_TIME_VSYSCALL to ensure when sys_tz is updated they can also
updatee their copy in the vdso.

Use temporary page tables for the kernel text mapping during hibernation
restore on x86_64.
Without the patch, the original boot kernel's page tables that represent the
kernel text mapping are used while the core of the image kernel is being
restored. However, in principle, if the boot kernel is not identical to the
image kernel, the location of these page tables in the image kernel need not
be the same, so we should create a safe copy of the kernel text mapping prior
to restoring the core of the image kernel.

Since we already pass the address of restore_registers() in the image header,
we can also pass the value of the CR3 register from before the hibernation in
the same way. This will allow us to avoid using init_level4_pgt page tables
during the restore.

Make it possible to restore a hibernation image on x86_64 with the help of a
kernel different from the one in the image.
The idea is to split the core restoration code into two separate parts and to
place each of them in a different page. Â The first part belongs to the boot
kernel and is executed as the last step of the image kernel's memory
restoration procedure. Â Before being executed, it is relocated to a safe page
that won't be overwritten while copying the image kernel pages.
The final operation performed by it is a jump to the second part of the core
restoration code that belongs to the image kernel and has just been restored.
This code makes the CPU switch to the image kernel's page tables and restores
the state of general purpose registers (including the stack pointer) from
before the hibernation.
The main issue with this idea is that in order to jump to the second part of
the core restoration code the boot kernel needs to know its address.
 However, this address may be passed to it in the image header.  Namely, the
part of the image header previously used for checking if the version of the
image kernel is correct can be replaced with some architecture specific data
that will allow the boot kernel to jump to the right address within the image
kernel. Â These data should also be used for checking if the image kernel is
compatible with the boot kernel (as far as the memory restroration procedure
is concerned). It can be done, for example, with the help of a "magic" value
that has to be equal in both kernels, so that they can be regarded as
compatible.
