powerpc: Support for relocatable kdump kernel
This adds relocatable kernel support for kdump. With this one can
use the same regular kernel to capture the kdump. A signature (0xfeed1234)
is passed in r6 from panic code to the next kernel through kexec_sequence
and purgatory code. The signature is used to differentiate between
kdump kernel and non-kdump kernels.
The purgatory code compares the signature and sets the __kdump_flag in
head_64.S. During the boot up, kernel code checks __kdump_flag and if it
is set, the kernel will behave as relocatable kdump kernel. This kernel
will boot at the address where it was loaded by kexec-tools ie. at the
address reserved through crashkernel boot parameter.
CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP depends on CONFIG_RELOCATABLE option to build kdump
kernel as relocatable. So the same kernel can be used as production and
kdump kernel.
This patch incorporates the changes suggested by Paul Mackerras to avoid
GOT use and to avoid two copies of the code.

The thread calls hvc_poll() --> hvc_push()... if there are still

Remove stop_machine during module load v2
Remove stop_machine during module load v2
module loading currently does a stop_machine on each module load to insert
the module into the global module lists. Especially on larger systems this
can be quite expensive.
It does that to handle concurrent lock lessmodule list readers
like kallsyms.
I don't think stop_machine() is actually needed to insert something
into a list though. There are no concurrent writers because the
module mutex is taken. And the RCU list functions know how to insert
a node into a list with the right memory ordering so that concurrent
readers don't go off into the wood.
So remove the stop_machine for the module list insert and just
do a list_add_rcu() instead.
Module removal will still do a stop_machine of course, it needs
that for other reasons.
v2: Revised readers based on Paul's comments. All readers that only
rely on disabled preemption need to be changed to list_for_each_rcu().
Done that. The others are ok because they have the modules mutex.

dm crypt: fix async split
When writing io, dm-crypt has to allocate a new cloned bio
and encrypt the data into newly-allocated pages attached to this bio.
In rare cases, because of hw restrictions (e.g. physical segment limit)
or memory pressure, sometimes more than one cloned bio has to be used,
each processing a different fragment of the original.
Currently there is one waitqueue which waits for one fragment to finish
and continues processing the next fragment.
But when using asynchronous crypto this doesn't work, because several
fragments may be processed asynchronously or in parallel and there is
only one crypt context that cannot be shared between the bio fragments.
The result may be corruption of the data contained in the encrypted bio.
The patch fixes this by allocating new dm_crypt_io structs (with new
crypto contexts) and running them independently.
The fragments contains a pointer to the base dm_crypt_io struct to
handle reference counting, so the base one is properly deallocated
after all the fragments are finished.
In a low memory situation, this only uses one additional object from the
mempool. If the mempool is empty, the next allocation simple waits for
previous fragments to complete.

Fix a race condition with primary_pe ref_count handling.

__origin_write does atomic_dec_and_test on primary_pe->ref_count without holding
dm_snapshot->lock.
This opens the following race condition:
Assume two CPUs, CPU1 is executing put_pending_exception (and holding
dm_snapshot->lock). CPU2 is executing __origin_write in parallel.
primary_pe->ref_count == 2.
CPU1:
if (primary_pe && atomic_dec_and_test(&primary_pe->ref_count))
origin_bios = bio_list_get(&primary_pe->origin_bios);
... decrements primary_pe->ref_count to 1. Doesn't load origin_bios

free_pending_exception(primary_pe);
/* If we got here, pe_queue is necessarily empty. */

free_pending_exception(pe);
... this has no effect.
if (primary_pe && !atomic_read(&primary_pe->ref_count))
free_pending_exception(primary_pe);
... sees ref_count == 0 (written by CPU 2), does double free !!
This bug can happen only if someone is simultaneously writing to both the
origin and the snapshot.
If someone is writing only to the origin, __origin_write will submit kcopyd
request after it decrements primary_pe->ref_count (so it can't happen that the
finished copy races with primary_pe->ref_count decrementation).
If someone is writing only to the snapshot, __origin_write isn't invoked at all
and the race can't happen.
The race happens when someone writes to the snapshot --- this creates
pending_exception with primary_pe == NULL and starts copying. Then, someone
writes to the same chunk in the snapshot, and __origin_write races with
termination of already submitted request in pending_complete (that calls
put_pending_exception).
This race may be reason for bugs:

must no longer dereference primary_pe (because someone else may free it under
us).
2. If atomic_dec_and_test(&primary_pe->ref_count) returns true, the process
is responsible for freeing primary_pe.

dm kcopyd: avoid queue shuffle

of magnitude slower than those to LV without snapshots or
snapshot target volumes, especially in the case of sequential

The following patch originally written by Kevin Jamieson and
Jan Blunck and slightly modified for the current RCs by myself
tries to improve the performance by modifying the behaviour
of kcopyd, so that it pushes back an I/O job to the head of
the job queue instead of the tail as process_jobs() currently
does when it has to wait for free pages. This way, write
requests aren't shuffled to cause extra seeks.
I tested the patch against 2.6.27-rc5 and got the following results.
The test is a dd command writing to snapshot origin followed by fsync
to the file just created/updated. A couple of filesystem benchmarks
gave me similar results in case of sequential writes, while random
writes didn't suffer much.
dd if=/dev/zero of=<somewhere on snapshot origin> bs=4096 count=...

all dd+fsync and 1000 MiB writes perform very poorly.

V4L/DVB (9333): cx88: Not all boards that requires cx88-mpeg has frontends
The multifrontend changes on cx88 assumed that all boards that use cx88-mpeg
supports DVB. This is not true. There also a few analog-only boards based on
Blackboard design that also uses cx88-mpeg. For those boards, there's no need
to allocate dvb frontends.
This patch fixes videobuf allocation for those devices.
V4L/DVB (9331): Remove unused inode parameter from video_ioctl2
inode is never used on video_ioctl2. Remove it and rename the function to
__video_ioctl2. This allows its usage directly as a callback at
fops.unlocked_ioctl.
Since we still need a callback with inode to be used with fops.ioctl,
this patch adds video_ioctl2() that is just a call to __video_ioctl2().
Also, this patch adds some comments about video_ioctl2 and __video_ioctl2
usage at v4l2-ioctl.h.
V4L/DVB (9330): Get rid of inode parameter at v4l_compat_translate_ioctl()
The inode parameter at v4l_compat_translate_ioctl() were just passed over several
places just to keep compatible with fops.ioctl. However, it weren't used anywere.

V4L/DVB (9328): ivtvfb: FB_BLANK_POWERDOWN turns off video output
When using FBIOBLANK, FB_BLANK_POWERDOWN will now switch off the video output.
Since some televisions turn themselves off after a while with no signal, this
is the closest we can get to power-saving.

V4L/DVB (9327): v4l: use video_device.num instead of minor in video%d
The kernel number of a v4l2 node (e.g. videoX, radioX or vbiX) is now
independent of the minor number. So instead of using the minor field
of the video_device struct one has to use the num field: this always
contains the kernel number of the device node.
I forgot about this when I did the v4l2 core change, so this patch
converts all drivers that use it in one go. Luckily the change is
trivial.

V4L/DVB (9318): v4l2-int-if: Add command to get slave private data.
vidioc_int_g_priv is used to get master's slave-related private data
structure. The structure can contain for example master's configuration
specific to slave.

V4L/DVB (9315): s5h1411: Skip reconfiguring demod modulation if already at the desired modulation
If we are already at the desired modulation, there is no need to reconfigure
the demod (at a tuning time cost)
Note that this change revealed that although the datasheet says the demod
starts out in VSB-8 mode, the first tuning was failing consistently unless
we went through the work of setting the registers. So add a field to denote
this case so we always do the enable_frontend call, even if the first tuning
request is for VSB-8.

V4L/DVB (9314): s5h1411: Perform s5h1411 soft reset after tuning
If you instruct the tuner to change frequencies, it can take up to 2500ms to
get a demod lock. By performing a soft reset after the tuning call (which
is consistent with how the Pinnacle 801e Windows driver behaves), you get
a demod lock inside of 300ms
