fc370ecfdb kbuild: add vmlinux to kernel rpm
We are building an automated system to test kernels weekly and need to
provide an rpm to our QA dept.  We would like to use the ability to create
kernel rpms already in the kernel's Makefile, but need the vmlinux file
included in the rpm for later debugging.

This patch adds a compressed vmlinux to the kernel rpm when doing a
make rpm-pkg or binrpm-pkg and upon install places the vmlinux file in /boot.

ba4cef31d5 KVM: Fix racy in kvm_free_assigned_irq
In the past, kvm_get_kvm() and kvm_put_kvm() was called in assigned device irq
handler and interrupt_work, in order to prevent cancel_work_sync() in
kvm_free_assigned_irq got a illegal state when waiting for interrupt_work done.
But it's tricky and still got two problems:

1. A bug ignored two conditions that cancel_work_sync() would return true result
in a additional kvm_put_kvm().

2. If interrupt type is MSI, we would got a window between cancel_work_sync()
and free_irq(), which interrupt would be injected again...

This patch discard the reference count used for irq handler and interrupt_work,
and ensure the legal state by moving the free function at the very beginning of
kvm_destroy_vm(). And the patch fix the second bug by disable irq before
cancel_work_sync(), which may result in nested disable of irq but OK for we are
going to free it.

85db06e514 KVM: mmu_notifiers release method
The destructor for huge pages uses the backing inode for adjusting
hugetlbfs accounting.

Hugepage mappings are destroyed by exit_mmap, after
mmu_notifier_release, so there are no notifications through
unmap_hugepage_range at this point.

The hugetlbfs inode can be freed with pages backed by it referenced
by the shadow. When the shadow releases its reference, the huge page
destructor will access a now freed inode.

Implement the release operation for kvm mmu notifiers to release page
refs before the hugetlbfs inode is gone.

cf40bd16fd lockdep: annotate reclaim context (__GFP_NOFS)
Here is another version, with the incremental patch rolled up, and
added reclaim context annotation to kswapd, and allocation tracing
to slab allocators (which may only ever reach the page allocator
in rare cases, so it is good to put annotations here too).

Haven't tested this version as such, but it should be getting closer
to merge worthy ;)

--
After noticing some code in mm/filemap.c accidentally perform a __GFP_FS
allocation when it should not have been, I thought it might be a good idea to
try to catch this kind of thing with lockdep.

I coded up a little idea that seems to work. Unfortunately the system has to
actually be in __GFP_FS page reclaim, then take the lock, before it will mark
it. But at least that might still be some orders of magnitude more common
(and more debuggable) than an actual deadlock condition, so we have some
improvement I hope (the concept is no less complete than discovery of a lock's
interrupt contexts).

I guess we could even do the same thing with __GFP_IO (normal reclaim), and
even GFP_NOIO locks too... but filesystems will have the most locks and fiddly
code paths, so let's start there and see how it goes.

It *seems* to work. I did a quick test.

therefore the driver not to be initialized.

This patch:
- updates the platform support code to use AT91SAM9X_WATCHDOG.
- includes <linux/io.h> to fix compile error (same fix as was applied
to at91rm9200_wdt.c)
- fixes comment regarding watchdog clock-rates in at91rm9200.

2acf2c261b ext4: Implement range_cyclic in ext4_da_writepages instead of write_cache_pages
With delayed allocation we lock the page in write_cache_pages() and
try to build an in memory extent of contiguous blocks.  This is needed
so that we can get large contiguous blocks request.  If range_cyclic
mode is enabled, write_cache_pages() will loop back to the 0 index if
no I/O has been done yet, and try to start writing from the beginning
of the range.  That causes an attempt to take the page lock of lower
index page while holding the page lock of higher index page, which can
cause a dead lock with another writeback thread.

The solution is to implement the range_cyclic behavior in
ext4_da_writepages() instead.

d794bf8e09 ext4: Initialize preallocation list_head's properly
When creating a new ext4_prealloc_space structure, we have to
initialize its list_head pointers before we add them to any prealloc
lists.  Otherwise, with list debug enabled, we will get list
corruption warnings.

abf239657b [ARM] omap: fix _omap2_clksel_get_src_field()
_omap2_clksel_get_src_field() was returning the first entry which was
either the default _or_ applicable to the SoC.  This is wrong - we
should be returning the first default which is applicable to the SoC.

the actual value returned on error.  Fix this to return the correct error

efab0b5d3e [JFFS2] force the jffs2 GC daemon to behave a bit better
I've noticed some pretty poor behavior on OLPC machines after bootup, when
gdm/X are starting.  The GCD monopolizes the scheduler (which in turns
means it gets to do more nand i/o), which results in processes taking much
much longer than they should to start.

As an example, on an OLPC machine going from OFW to a usable X (via
auto-login gdm) takes 2m 30s.  The majority of this time is consumed by
the switch into graphical mode.  With this patch, we cut a full 60s off of
bootup time.  After bootup, things are much snappier as well.

Note that we have seen a CRC node error with this patch that causes the machine
to fail to boot, but we've also seen that problem without this patch.
