Should e1000_test_msi() fail to see an msi interrupt, it attempts to
fallback to legacy INTx interrupts. But an error in the code may prevent
this from happening correctly.
Before calling e1000_test_msi_interrupt(), e1000_test_msi() disables SERR
by clearing the SERR bit from the just read PCI_COMMAND bits as it writes
them back out.
Upon return from calling e1000_test_msi_interrupt(), it re-enables SERR
by writing out the version of PCI_COMMAND it had previously read.
The problem with this is that e1000_test_msi_interrupt() calls
pci_disable_msi(), which eventually ends up in pci_intx(). And because
pci_intx() was called with enable set to 1, the INTX_DISABLE bit gets
cleared from PCI_COMMAND, which is what we want. But when we get back to
e1000_test_msi(), the INTX_DISABLE bit gets inadvertently re-set because
of the attempt by e1000_test_msi() to re-enable SERR.
The solution is to have e1000_test_msi() re-read the PCI_COMMAND bits as
part of its attempt to re-enable SERR.
During debugging/testing of this issue I found that not all the systems
I ran on had the SERR bit set to begin with. And on some of the systems
the same could be said for the INTX_DISABLE bit. Needless to say these
latter systems didn't have a problem falling back to legacy INTx
interrupts with the code as is.

At present, hw_breakpoint_slots() returns 1 regardless of what
type of breakpoint is specified in the type argument. Since we
don't define CONFIG_HAVE_MIXED_BREAKPOINTS_REGS, there are
separate values for TYPE_INST and TYPE_DATA, and hw_breakpoint_slots()
returns 1 for both, effectively advertising instruction breakpoint
support which doesn't exist.
This fixes it by making hw_breakpoint_slots return 1 for TYPE_DATA
and 0 for TYPE_INST. This moves hw_breakpoint_slots() from the
powerpc hw_breakpoint.h to hw_breakpoint.c because the definitions
of TYPE_INST and TYPE_DATA aren't available in <asm/hw_breakpoint.h>.
They are defined in <linux/hw_breakpoint.h> but we can't include
that header in <asm/hw_breakpoint.h>, and nor can we rely on
<linux/hw_breakpoint.h> being included before <asm/hw_breakpoint.h>.
Since hw_breakpoint_slots() is only called at boot time, there is
no performance impact from making it a real function rather than
a static inline.

The ds1307 driver misreads the ds1388 registers when checking for 12 or 24
hour mode. Instead of checking the hour register it reads the minute
register. Therefore the driver thinks minutes >= 40 has the 12HR bit set
and resets the minute register by zeroing the high bits. This results in
minutes are reset to 0-9, jumping back in time 40 or 50 minutes. The time
jump is also written back to the RTC.

A __naked function is defined in C but with a body completely implemented
by asm(), including any prologue and epilogue. These asm() bodies expect
standard calling conventions for parameter passing. Older GCCs implement
that correctly, but 4.[56] currently do not, see GCC PR44290. In the
Linux kernel this breaks ARM, causing most arch/arm/mm/copypage-*.c
modules to get miscompiled, resulting in kernel crashes during bootup.
Part of the kernel fix is to augment the __naked function attribute to
also imply noinline and noclone. This patch implements that, and has been
verified to fix boot failures with gcc-4.5 compiled 2.6.34 and 2.6.35-rc1
kernels. The patch is a no-op with older GCCs.

The recent commit 1f0ce8b3dd ("mm: Move ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGN and
ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN to <linux/slab_def.h>") which moved the
ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGN default into the global header inadvertently broke FLAT
for a bunch of systems. Blackfin systems now fail on any FLAT exec with:
Unable to read code+data+bss, errno 14 When your /init is a FLAT binary,
obviously this can be annoying ;).
This stems from the alignment usage in the FLAT loader. The behavior
before was that FLAT would default to ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGN only if it was
defined, and this was only defined by arches when they wanted a larger
alignment value. Otherwise it'd default to pointer alignment. Arguably,
this is kind of hokey that the FLAT is semi-abusing defines it shouldn't.
So let's merge the two alignment requirements so the floor is never 0.

OOM-waitqueue should be waken up when oom_disable is canceled. This is a

How to test:
Create a cgroup A...
1. set memory.limit and memory.memsw.limit to be small value
2. echo 1 > /cgroup/A/memory.oom_control, this disables oom-kill.
3. run a program which must cause OOM.
A program executed in 3 will sleep by oom_waiqueue in memcg. Then, how to
wake it up is problem.
1. echo 0 > /cgroup/A/memory.oom_control (enable OOM-killer)
2. echo big mem > /cgroup/A/memory.memsw.limit_in_bytes(allow more swap)

The reason being that FLAT combines a whole lot of stuff into one map
(including the stack). But this isn't any worse than the current output

Fix resume_execution() and is_IF_modifier() to skip x86
instruction prefixes correctly by using x86 instruction
attribute.
Without this fix, resume_execution() can't handle instructions
which have non-REX prefixes (REX prefixes are skipped). This
will cause unexpected kernel panic by hitting bad address when a
kprobe hits on two-byte ret (e.g. "repz ret" generated for
Athlon/K8 optimization), because it just checks "repz" and can't
recognize the "ret" instruction.
These prefixes can be found easily with x86 instruction
attribute. This patch introduces skip_prefixes() and uses it in
resume_execution() and is_IF_modifier() to skip prefixes.

This patch implements cpu intensive workqueue which can be specified
with WQ_CPU_INTENSIVE flag on creation. Works queued to a cpu
intensive workqueue don't participate in concurrency management. IOW,
it doesn't contribute to gcwq->nr_running and thus doesn't delay
excution of other works.
Note that although cpu intensive works won't delay other works, they
can be delayed by other works. Combine with WQ_HIGHPRI to avoid being
delayed by other works too.
As the name suggests this is useful when using workqueue for cpu

This patch implements high priority workqueue which can be specified
with WQ_HIGHPRI flag on creation. A high priority workqueue has the
following properties.
* A work queued to it is queued at the head of the worklist of the
respective gcwq after other highpri works, while normal works are
always appended at the end.
* As long as there are highpri works on gcwq->worklist,
[__]need_more_worker() remains %true and process_one_work() wakes up
another worker before it start executing a work.
The above two properties guarantee that works queued to high priority
workqueues are dispatched to workers and start execution as soon as
possible regardless of the state of other works.
