The virtio balloon driver can dig into the reservation pools of the OS
to satisfy a balloon request. This is not advisable and other balloon
drivers (drivers/xen/balloon.c) avoid this as well.
The patch also adds changes to avoid printing a warning if allocation
fails, since we retry after sometime anyway.

When the dt3155 driver is built-in (not as a loadable module),
these build errors happen:
drivers/staging/dt3155/dt3155_drv.c:1047: error: implicit declaration of function 'request_irq'
drivers/staging/dt3155/dt3155_drv.c:1048: error: 'IRQF_SHARED' undeclared (first use in this function)

drivers/staging/dt3155/dt3155_drv.c:1091: error: implicit declaration of function 'free_irq'
so remove the #ifdef MODULE check since it's not needed. Also remove
the CONFIG_PCI check since the Kconfig file already requires that.

There is a typo here. We should be testing "*dentry" instead of

creds_are_invalid() reads both cred->usage and cred->subscribers and then
compares them to make sure the number of processes subscribed to a cred struct
never exceeds the refcount of that cred struct.
The problem is that this can cause a race with both copy_creds() and
exit_creds() as the two counters, whilst they are of atomic_t type, are only
atomic with respect to themselves, and not atomic with respect to each other.
This means that if creds_are_invalid() can read the values on one CPU whilst
they're being modified on another CPU, and so can observe an evolving state in
which the subscribers count now is greater than the usage count a moment
before.
Switching the order in which the counts are read cannot help, so the thing to
do is to remove that particular check.
I had considered rechecking the values to see if they're in flux if the test
fails, but I can't guarantee they won't appear the same, even if they've
changed several times in the meantime.
Note that this can only happen if CONFIG_DEBUG_CREDENTIALS is enabled.
The problem is only likely to occur with multithreaded programs, and can be
tested by the tst-eintr1 program from glibc's "make check". The symptoms look
like:
CRED: Invalid credentials
CRED: At include/linux/cred.h:240

we should extend the gotos around the error handling we don't need.

Patch 570b8fb505896e007fd3bb07573ba6640e51851d:
Author: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com>
Date: Tue Mar 30 00:04:00 2010 +0100
Subject: CRED: Fix memory leak in error handling
attempts to fix a memory leak in the error handling by making the offending
return statement into a jump down to the bottom of the function where a
kfree(tgcred) is inserted.
This is, however, incorrect, as it does a kfree() after doing put_cred() if
security_prepare_creds() fails. That will result in a double free if 'error'
is jumped to as put_cred() will also attempt to free the new tgcred record by
virtue of it being pointed to by the new cred record.

Before commit e28cbf22933d0c0ccaf3c4c27a1a263b41f73859 ("improve
sys_newuname() for compat architectures") 64-bit x86 had a private
implementation of sys_uname which was just called sys_uname, which other
architectures used for the old uname.
Due to some merge issues with the uname refactoring patches we ended up
calling the old uname version for both the old and new system call
slots, which lead to the domainname filed never be set which caused
failures with libnss_nis.

Currently we set eflags.vm unconditionally when entering real mode emulation
through virtual-8086 mode, and clear it unconditionally when we enter protected
mode. The means that the following sequence
KVM_SET_REGS (rflags.vm=1)
KVM_SET_SREGS (cr0.pe=1)
Ends up with rflags.vm clear due to KVM_SET_SREGS triggering enter_pmode().
Fix by shadowing rflags.vm (and rflags.iopl) correctly while in real mode:
reads and writes to those bits access a shadow register instead of the actual
register.

There is a quirk for AMD K8 CPUs in many Linux kernels (see
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/mce.c:__mcheck_cpu_apply_quirks()) that
clears bit 10 in that MCE related MSR. KVM can only cope with all
zeros or all ones, so it will inject a #GP into the guest, which
will let it panic.
So lets add a quirk to the quirk and ignore this single cleared bit.
This fixes -cpu kvm64 on all machines and -cpu host on K8 machines
with some guest Linux kernels.

- Return -ETIMEDOUT on bus busy error
- Fix timeout test "time_after(jiffies, orig_jiffies + HZ / 1000)" :
By default, HZ=100 on arm. This means that this test has no chances to
work and may result in a dead loop. Set timeout to 500ms.
- Don't try to send a new message if we failed to transmit
previous one. This was preventing to recover from error on my system

The recent anon_vma fixes cause many anonymous pages to end up
in the parent process anon_vma, even when the page is exclusively
owned by the current process.
Adding exclusively owned anonymous pages to the top anon_vma
reduces rmap scanning overhead, especially in workloads with
forking servers.
This patch adds a parameter to __page_set_anon_rmap that can
be used to indicate whether or not the added page is exclusively
owned by the current process.
Pages added through page_add_new_anon_rmap are exclusively
owned by the current process, and can be added to the top
anon_vma.
Pages added through page_add_anon_rmap can be either shared
or exclusively owned, so we do the conservative thing and
add it to the oldest anon_vma.
A next step would be to add the exclusive parameter to
page_add_anon_rmap, to be used from functions where we do
know for sure whether a page is exclusively owned.
