with "quiet"
When the kernel does partition detection, on certain configurations with
external fibre channel raid systems (e.g. clariion from EMC) the read
would fail. And "ldm_validate_partition_table(): Disk read failed"
messages are printed to the console.
But the failure to read is not a critical error. Now since the message
is flagged as KERN_CRIT, it gets printed even when booting with the
"quiet" kernel parameter. Fix it by using KERN_INFO, as the failure to
read here is not really an error.

While trying to track down some NFS problems with BTRFS, I kept noticing I was
getting -EACCESS for no apparent reason. Eric Paris and printk() helped me
figure out that it was SELinux that was giving me grief, with the following
denial
type=AVC msg=audit(1290013638.413:95): avc: denied { 0x800000 } for pid=1772
comm="nfsd" name="" dev=sda1 ino=256 scontext=system_u:system_r:kernel_t:s0
tcontext=system_u:object_r:unlabeled_t:s0 tclass=file
Turns out this is because in d_obtain_alias if we can't find an alias we create
one and do all the normal instantiation stuff, but we don't do the
security_d_instantiate.
Usually we are protected from getting a hashed dentry that hasn't yet run
security_d_instantiate() by the parent's i_mutex, but obviously this isn't an
option there, so in order to deal with the case that a second thread comes in
and finds our new dentry before we get to run security_d_instantiate(), we go
ahead and call it if we find a dentry already. Eric assures me that this is ok
as the code checks to see if the dentry has been initialized already so calling
security_d_instantiate() against the same dentry multiple times is ok. With
this patch I'm no longer getting errant -EACCESS values.

Have it nested inside ->i_mutex. Instead of using follow_down()
under namespace_sem, followed by grabbing i_mutex and checking that
mountpoint to be is not dead, do the following:
grab i_mutex
check that it's not dead
grab namespace_sem
see if anything is mounted there
if not, we've won
otherwise
drop locks
put_path on what we had
replace with what's mounted
retry everything with new mountpoint to be
New helper (lock_mount()) does that. do_add_mount(), do_move_mount(),
do_loopback() and pivot_root() switched to it; in case of the last
two that eliminates a race we used to have - original code didn't
do follow_down().

Don't hold vfsmount_lock over the loop traversing ->mnt_parent;
do check_mnt(new.mnt) under namespace_sem instead; combined with
namespace_sem held over all that code it'll guarantee the stability
of ->mnt_parent chain all the way to the root.
Doing check_mnt() outside of namespace_sem in case of pivot_root()
is wrong anyway.

According to intel CPU manual, every time PGD entry is changed in i386 PAE
mode, we need do a full TLB flush. Current code follows this and there is
comment for this too in the code.
But current code misses the multi-threaded case. A changed page table
might be used by several CPUs, every such CPU should flush TLB. Usually
this isn't a problem, because we prepopulate all PGD entries at process
fork. But when the process does munmap and follows new mmap, this issue
will be triggered.
When it happens, some CPUs keep doing page faults:

Current stack dump code scans entire stack and check each entry
contains a pointer to kernel code. If CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=y it
could mark whether the pointer is valid or not based on value of
the frame pointer. Invalid entries could be preceded by '?' sign.
However this was not going to happen because scan start point
was always higher than the frame pointer so that they could not
meet.
Commit 9c0729dc8062 ("x86: Eliminate bp argument from the stack
tracing routines") delayed bp acquisition point, so the bp was
read in lower frame, thus all of the entries were marked
invalid.
This patch fixes this by reverting above commit while retaining
stack_frame() helper as suggested by Frederic Weisbecker.
End result looks like below:

I don't have the specs for this beast, but it looks a lot like the PXA
GPIO block. Though I bet it's the same IP and the driver should have
reused the PXA code.
Acknowleding the edge detect status after handling one or more gpio

handled the previous one.

Mike Galbraith reported finding a lockup ("perma-spin bug") where the
cpumask passed to smp_call_function_many was cleared by other cpu(s)
while a cpu was preparing its call_data block, resulting in no cpu to
clear the last ref and unlock the block.
Having cpus clear their bit asynchronously could be useful on a mask of
cpus that might have a translation context, or cpus that need a push to
complete an rcu window.
Instead of adding a BUG_ON and requiring yet another cpumask copy, just
detect the race and handle it.
Note: arch_send_call_function_ipi_mask must still handle an empty
cpumask because the data block is globally visible before the that arch
callback is made. And (obviously) there are no guarantees to which cpus
are notified if the mask is changed during the call; only cpus that were
online and had their mask bit set during the whole call are guaranteed
to be called.

Paul McKenney's review pointed out two problems with the barriers in the
2.6.38 update to the smp call function many code.
First, a barrier that would force the func and info members of data to
be visible before their consumption in the interrupt handler was
missing. This can be solved by adding a smp_wmb between setting the
func and info members and setting setting the cpumask; this will pair
with the existing and required smp_rmb ordering the cpumask read before
the read of refs. This placement avoids the need a second smp_rmb in
the interrupt handler which would be executed on each of the N cpus
executing the call request. (I was thinking this barrier was present
but was not).
Second, the previous write to refs (establishing the zero that we the
interrupt handler was testing from all cpus) was performed by a third
party cpu. This would invoke transitivity which, as a recient or
concurrent addition to memory-barriers.txt now explicitly states, would
require a full smp_mb().
However, we know the cpumask will only be set by one cpu (the data
owner) and any preivous iteration of the mask would have cleared by the
reading cpu. By redundantly writing refs to 0 on the owning cpu before
the smp_wmb, the write to refs will follow the same path as the writes
that set the cpumask, which in turn allows us to keep the barrier in the
interrupt handler a smp_rmb instead of promoting it to a smp_mb (which
will be be executed by N cpus for each of the possible M elements on the
list).
I moved and expanded the comment about our (ab)use of the rcu list
primitives for the concurrent walk earlier into this function. I
considered moving the first two paragraphs to the queue list head and
lock, but felt it would have been too disconected from the code.

Peter pointed out there was nothing preventing the list_del_rcu in
smp_call_function_interrupt from running before the list_add_rcu in
smp_call_function_many.
Fix this by not setting refs until we have gotten the lock for the list.
Take advantage of the wmb in list_add_rcu to save an explicit additional
one.
I tried to force this race with a udelay before the lock & list_add and
by mixing all 64 online cpus with just 3 random cpus in the mask, but
was unsuccessful. Still, inspection shows a valid race, and the fix is
a extension of the existing protection window in the current code.
