ibmaem: prevent infinite probing loop on x3650 M2 systems
On older machines, probing for a nonexistent AEM interface returned an
IPMI error; when we saw this, we'd stop probing. On the x3650 M2 and
(presumably) later, we are returned a value indicating success and a
buffer full of garbage or zeroes. This causes the probe function to run
in an infinite loop. To fix this, we add one last check--if the
interface number we're looking for is higher than the number of
interfaces that AEM claims to have, stop probing.

Previously the driver was only using DMI to prevent smbus probing on
non-Abit motherboards. However, since the manual probing method is
brittle and prone to failure on some Abit motherboards (esp. the Abit
IP35 Pro) it is better to use DMI to also read the board name and then
decide whether or not to probe the bus.
At the moment, we do not have a list of valid DMI name strings to use
for existing and supported motherboards. This patch only implements DMI
probing for the IP35 Pro. For motherboards that can not yet use DMI
probing, a warning will be printed to the kernel log asking those users
to email me their dmidecode output.
The existing manual probing mechanism will be used if CONFIG_DMI is not
enabled, if DMI probing fails (for DMI-unsupported motherboards), or if
DMI probing fails and the "force" option is set (for DMI-supported
motherboards). Ideally in the longer term this manual probing method
would be removed.
This patch should be safe to apply as it does not change the probing
behaviour for most of the supported motherboards, just the IP35 Pro,
which already has regressions filed against it in 2.6.26.

x86: fix /proc/meminfo DirectMap
Do we actually want these DirectMap lines in the x86 /proc/meminfo?
I can see they're interesting to CPA developers and TLB optimizers,
but they don't fit its usual "where has all my memory gone?" usage.
If they are to stay, here are some fixes.
1. On x86_32 without PAE, they're not 2M but 4M pages: no need to
mess with the internal enum, but show the right name to users.
2. Many machines can never show anything but 0 for DirectMap1G,
so suppress that line unless direct_gbpages are really enabled.
3. The unit in /proc/meminfo is kB not number of pages: HugePages
messed that up, but they're an example to regret not to follow.
4. Once we use kB, it's easy to see that 1GB has gone missing (which
explains why CONFIG_CPA_DEBUG=y soon wraps DirectMap2M negative):
because head_64.S's level2_ident_pgt entries were not counted.
My fix is not ideal, but works for more and for less than 1G,
and avoids interfering with early bootup pagetable contortions.

ACPI: Avoid bogus EC timeout when EC is in Polling mode
When EC is in Polling mode, OS will check the EC status continually by using
the following source code:
clear_bit(EC_FLAGS_WAIT_GPE, &ec->flags);
while (time_before(jiffies, delay)) {
if (acpi_ec_check_status(ec, event))
return 0;
msleep(1);
}
But msleep is realized by the function of schedule_timeout. At the same time
although one process is already waken up by some events, it won't be scheduled
immediately. So maybe there exists the following phenomena:
a. The current jiffies is already after the predefined jiffies.
But before timeout happens, OS has no chance to check the EC
status again.
b. If preemptible schedule is enabled, maybe preempt schedule will happen
before checking loop. When the process is resumed again, maybe
timeout already happens, which means that OS has no chance to check
the EC status.
In such case maybe EC status is already what OS expects when timeout happens.
But OS has no chance to check the EC status and regards it as AE_TIME.
So it will be more appropriate that OS will try to check the EC status again
when timeout happens. If the EC status is what we expect, it won't be regarded
as timeout. Only when the EC status is not what we expect, it will be regarded
as timeout, which means that EC controller can't give a response in time.

security: Fix setting of PF_SUPERPRIV by __capable()
Fix the setting of PF_SUPERPRIV by __capable() as it could corrupt the flags
the target process if that is not the current process and it is trying to
change its own flags in a different way at the same time.
__capable() is using neither atomic ops nor locking to protect t->flags. This
patch removes __capable() and introduces has_capability() that doesn't set
PF_SUPERPRIV on the process being queried.
This patch further splits security_ptrace() in two:
(1) security_ptrace_may_access(). This passes judgement on whether one
process may access another only (PTRACE_MODE_ATTACH for ptrace() and
PTRACE_MODE_READ for /proc), and takes a pointer to the child process.
current is the parent.
(2) security_ptrace_traceme(). This passes judgement on PTRACE_TRACEME only,
and takes only a pointer to the parent process. current is the child.
In Smack and commoncap, this uses has_capability() to determine whether
the parent will be permitted to use PTRACE_ATTACH if normal checks fail.
This does not set PF_SUPERPRIV.
Two of the instances of __capable() actually only act on current, and so have
been changed to calls to capable().
Of the places that were using __capable():
(1) The OOM killer calls __capable() thrice when weighing the killability of a
process. All of these now use has_capability().
(2) cap_ptrace() and smack_ptrace() were using __capable() to check to see
whether the parent was allowed to trace any process. As mentioned above,
these have been split. For PTRACE_ATTACH and /proc, capable() is now
used, and for PTRACE_TRACEME, has_capability() is used.
(3) cap_safe_nice() only ever saw current, so now uses capable().
(4) smack_setprocattr() rejected accesses to tasks other than current just
after calling __capable(), so the order of these two tests have been
switched and capable() is used instead.
(5) In smack_file_send_sigiotask(), we need to allow privileged processes to
receive SIGIO on files they're manipulating.
(6) In smack_task_wait(), we let a process wait for a privileged process,
whether or not the process doing the waiting is privileged.

UBIFS: xattr bugfixes
Xattr code has not been tested for a while and there were
serveral bugs. One of them is using wrong inode in
'ubifs_jnl_change_xattr()'. The other is a deadlock in
'ubifs_setxattr()': the i_mutex is locked in
'cap_inode_need_killpriv()' path, so deadlock happens when
'ubifs_setxattr()' tries to lock it again.

This allows us to boot the full range of possible CPUs that the

with less than 8 CPUs.

x86: resurrect proper handling of maxcpus= kernel option (v2)
For some reason we had two parsers registered for maxcpus=. One in init/main.c
and another in arch/x86/smpboot.c. So I nuked the one in arch/x86.
Also 64-bit kernels used to handle maxcpus= as documented in
Documentation/cpu-hotplug.txt. CPUs with 'id > maxcpus' are initialized
but not booted. 32-bit version for some reason ignored them even though
all the infrastructure for booting them later is there.
In the current mainline both 64 and 32 bit versions are broken.
This patch restores the correct behaviour. I've tested x86_64 version on
4- and 8- way Core2 and 2-way Opteron based machines. Various config
combinations SMP, !SMP, CPU_HOTPLUG, !CPU_HOTPLUG.
Booted with maxcpus=1 and maxcpus=4, etc. Everything is working as expected.
So far we've received two reports from different people confirming that 32-bit
version also works fine, both on dual core laptops and 16way server machines.
[v2: This version fixes visws breakage pointed out by Ingo.]

sched: fix the race between walk_tg_tree and sched_create_group
With 2.6.27-rc3, I hit a kernel panic when running volanoMark on my
new x86_64 machine. I also hit it with other 2.6.27-rc kernels.
See below log.
Basically, function walk_tg_tree and sched_create_group have a race
between accessing and initiating tg->children. Below patch fixes it
by moving tg->children initiation to the front of linking tg->siblings
to parent->children.

sparc64: Fix cmdline_memory_size handling bugs.
First, lmb_enforce_memory_limit() interprets it's argument
(mostly, heh) as a size limit not an address limit. So pass
the raw cmdline_memory_size value into it. And we don't
need to check it against zero, lmb_enforce_memory_limit() does
that for us.
Next, free_initmem() needs special handling when the kernel
command line trims the available memory. The problem case is
if the trimmed out memory is where the kernel image itself
resides.
When that memory is trimmed out, we don't add those physical
ram areas to the sparsemem active ranges, amongst other things.
Which means that this free_initmem() code will free up invalid
page structs, resulting in either crashes or hangs.
Just quick fix this by not freeing initmem at all if "mem="
was given on the boot command line.

powerpc/spufs: reference context while dropping state mutex in scheduler
Based on an original patch from Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>.
Currently, there is a possible reference-after-free in the spusched
code - contexts may be freed after we have released their state_mutex
in spusched_tick and find_victim.
This change takes a reference to the context before releasing the
mutex, so that the context doesn't get destroyed.
