Impact: cleanup, no code changed
Clean up various small details, which can be correctness checked
automatically:
- tidy up the include file section
- eliminate unnecessary includes
- introduce show_signal_msg() to clean up code flow
- standardize the code flow
- standardize comments and other style details
- more cleanups, pointed out by checkpatch
No code changed on either 32-bit nor 64-bit:
arch/x86/mm/fault.o:
text data bss dec hex filename
4632 32 24 4688 1250 fault.o.before
4632 32 24 4688 1250 fault.o.after
the md5 changed due to a change in a single instruction:
2e8a8241e7f0d69706776a5a26c90bc0 fault.o.before.asm
c5c3d36e725586eb74f0e10692f0193e fault.o.after.asm
Because a __LINE__ reference in a WARN_ONCE() has changed.
On 32-bit a few stack offsets changed - no code size difference
nor any functionality difference.

Impact: future-proof the split_large_page() function
Linus noticed that split_large_page() is not safe wrt. the
PAT bit: it is bit 12 on the 1GB and 2MB page table level
(_PAGE_BIT_PAT_LARGE), and it is bit 7 on the 4K page
table level (_PAGE_BIT_PAT).
Currently it is not a problem because we never set
_PAGE_BIT_PAT_LARGE on any of the large-page mappings - but
should this happen in the future the split_large_page() would
silently lift bit 12 into the lowlevel 4K pte and would start
corrupting the physical page frame offset. Not fun.
So add a debug warning, to make sure if something ever sets
the PAT bit then this function gets updated too.

Impact: fix to prevent hard lockup on bad PMD permissions
If the PMD does not have the correct permissions for a page access,
but the PTE does, the spurious fault handler will mistake the fault
as a lazy TLB transaction. This will result in an infinite loop of:
fault -> spurious_fault check (pass) -> return to code -> fault
This patch adds a check and a warn on if the PTE passes the permissions
but the PMD does not.
[ Updated: Ingo Molnar suggested using WARN_ONCE with some text ]

Steven Rostedt found a bug in where in his modified kernel
ftrace was unable to modify the kernel text, due to the PMD
itself having been marked read-only as well in
split_large_page().
The fix, suggested by Linus, is to not try to 'clone' the
reference protection of a huge-page, but to use the standard
(and permissive) page protection bits of KERNPG_TABLE.
The 'cloning' makes sense for the ptes but it's a confused and
incorrect concept at the page table level - because the
pagetable entry is a set of all ptes and hence cannot
'clone' any single protection attribute - the ptes can be any
mixture of protections.
With the permissive KERNPG_TABLE, even if the pte protections
get changed after this point (due to ftrace doing code-patching
or other similar activities like kprobes), the resulting combined
protections will still be correct and the pte's restrictive
(or permissive) protections will control it.
Also update the comment.
This bug was there for a long time but has not caused visible
problems before as it needs a rather large read-only area to
trigger. Steve possibly hacked his kernel with some really
large arrays or so. Anyway, the bug is definitely worth fixing.
[ Huang Ying also experienced problems in this area when writing
the EFI code, but the real bug in split_large_page() was not
realized back then. ]

Introduced a timing regression:
-bash-3.2# time ls
real 0m0.006s
user 0m1.754s
sys 0m1.094s
The problem was introduced by an error in cputime_to_timeval.
Cputime is now 1/4096 microsecond, therefore, we have to divide
the remainder with 4096 to get the microseconds.

This reverts commit 7e86c0e6850504ec9516b953f316a47277825e33 ("do not
overwrite EEPROM on Xonar D2/D2X") because it did not actually help with
the problem.
More user reports show that the overwriting of the EEPROM is not
triggered by using this driver but by installing Linux, and that the
installation of any other operating system (even one without any CMI8788
driver) has the same effect. In other words, the presence of this
driver does not have any effect on the occurrence of the error. (So
far, the available evidence seems to point to a BIOS bug.)
Furthermore, it turns out that the EEPROM chip is protected against
stray write commands by the command format and by requiring a separate
write-enable command, so the error scenario in the previous commit (that
SPI writes can be misinterpreted as an EEPROM write command) is not even
theoretically possible.
The mixer control that was removed as a consequence of the previous
commit can only be partially emulated in userspace, which also means it
cannot be seen be the in-kernel OSS API emulation, so it is better to
revert that change.

Impact: prevent deadlock if ring buffer gets corrupted
This patch adds a paranoid check to make sure the ring buffer consumer
does not go into an infinite loop. Since the ring buffer has been set
to read only, the consumer should not loop for more than the ring buffer
size. A check is added to make sure the consumer does not loop more than
the ring buffer size.

Impact: fix output of function tracer to be useful
The function tracer is pretty useless if KALLSYMS is not configured.

select the KALLSYMS configuration.
Also, the dynamic function tracer will fail its self test if KALLSYMS
is not selected.

Impact: fix to prevent hard lockup on self tests
If one of the tracers are broken and is constantly filling the ring
buffer while the test of the ring buffer is running, it will hang
the box. The reason is that the test is a consumer that will not
stop till the ring buffer is empty. But if the tracer is broken and
is constantly producing input to the buffer, this test will never
end. The result is a lockup of the box.
This happened when KALLSYMS was not defined and the dynamic ftrace
test constantly filled the ring buffer, because the filter failed
and all functions were being traced. Something was being called
that constantly filled the buffer.

Submenus of the graphics support "Support for frame buffer devices" and
"Direct Rendering Manager (XFree86 4.1.0 and higher DRI support)" are
broken in half after latest changes for Intel 915 mode setting support.
The DRM subsection is broken because one option is put outside the choice
section it depends on.
The frame buffers part is broken then due to circular dependency. Fix
this by make Intel frame buffers depend on CONFIG_INTEL_AGP.
Kconfigs are broken by d2f59357700487a8b944f4f7777d1e97cf5ea2ed
("drm/i915: select framebuffer support automatically").
This is probably not only way to fix this.

The floppy driver requests an I/O port it doesn't need, and sometimes this
causes a conflict with a motherboard device reported by PNPBIOS.
This patch makes the floppy driver request and release only the ports it
actually uses. It also factors out the request/release stuff and the
io-ports list so they're all in one place now.
The current floppy driver uses only these ports:
0x3f2 (FD_DOR)
0x3f4 (FD_STATUS)
0x3f5 (FD_DATA)
0x3f7 (FD_DCR/FD_DIR)
but it requests 0x3f2-0x3f5 and 0x3f7, which includes the unused port
0x3f3.
Some BIOSes report 0x3f3 as a motherboard resource. The PNP system driver
reserves that, which causes a conflict when the floppy driver requests
0x3f2-0x3f5 later.
Philippe reported that this conflict broke the floppy driver between
2.6.11 and 2.6.22. His PNPBIOS reports these devices:
$ cat 00:07/id 00:07/resources # motherboard device
PNP0c02
state = active
io 0x80-0x80
io 0x10-0x1f
io 0x22-0x3f
io 0x44-0x5f
io 0x90-0x9f
io 0xa2-0xbf
io 0x3f0-0x3f1
io 0x3f3-0x3f3
$ cat 00:03/id 00:03/resources # floppy device
PNP0700
state = active
io 0x3f4-0x3f5
io 0x3f2-0x3f2

Now, early_pfn_in_nid(PFN, NID) may returns false if PFN is a hole.
and memmap initialization was not done. This was a trouble for
sparc boot.
To fix this, the PFN should be initialized and marked as PG_reserved.
This patch changes early_pfn_in_nid() return true if PFN is a hole.
