We can set LOAD_OFFSET and use the AT attribute on sections and the
linker will properly set the physical address of the LOAD program

This allows us to know how the PHYSICAL_START the user configured a

to the point where the base of the reserved region is less than the
size requested.  This also restructures the loop to be a bit easier to
follow.

The same logic got copied into lmb_alloc_nid_unreserved, so this makes

the outer loop  (in lmb_alloc_nid) goes through the memory regions in

This should never happen, but if it does, we try to print a nice oops

Increase the PNP "number of devices" limit.  We currently use an unsigned
char, which limits us to 256 devices per protocol.  This patch changes that to
an unsigned int.

Not all backends can take advantage of this: we limit ISAPNP to 10 devices in
isapnp_cfg_begin(), and PNPBIOS is limited to 256 devices because the BIOS
interfaces use a one-byte device node number.

But there is no limit on the number of PNPACPI devices we may have.  Large HP
Integrity machines have more than 256, which causes the current "unsigned char
number" to wrap around.  This causes errors like this:

asmlinkage_protect replaces prevent_tail_call

The prevent_tail_call() macro works around the problem of the compiler
clobbering argument words on the stack, which for asmlinkage functions
is the caller's (user's) struct pt_regs.  The tail/sibling-call

stack argument words as scratch space, which we have to prevent.
Other optimizations can do it too.

Until we have new compiler support to make "asmlinkage" binding on the
compiler's own use of the stack argument frame, we have work around all
the manifestations of this issue that crop up.

More cases seem to be prevented by also keeping the incoming argument
variables live at the end of the function.  This makes their original
stack slots attractive places to leave those variables, so the compiler
tends not clobber them for something else.  It's still no guarantee, but
it handles some observed cases that prevent_tail_call() did not.

smp_call_function to all cpus, to make them come out of old idle handler

[XFS] Fix superblock features2 field alignment problem

Due to the xfs_dsb_t structure not being 64 bit aligned, the last field of
the on-disk superblock can vary in location This causes problems when the
filesystem gets moved to a different platform, or there is a 32 bit
userspace and 64 bit kernel.

This patch detects the defect at mount time, logs a warning such as:

XFS: correcting sb_features alignment problem

in dmesg and corrects the problem so that everything is OK. it also
blacklists the bad field in the superblock so it does not get used for
something else later on.

pop previous section in alternative.c

gcc expects all toplevel assembly to return to the original section type.
The code in alteranative.c does not do this. This caused some strange bugs
in sched-devel where code would end up in the .rodata section and when
the kernel sets the NX bit on all .rodata, the kernel would crash when
executing this code.

This patch adds a .previous marker to return the code back to the
original section.

Credit goes to Andrew Pinski for telling me it wasn't a gcc bug but a
bug in the toplevel asm code in the kernel.  ;-)
