[PATCH] s390: overflow in sched_clock
The least significant bit of the TOD clock value returned by get_clock
is the 4096th part of a microsecond. To get to nanoseconds the value
needs to be divided by 4096 and multiplied with 1000.
The current method multiplies first and then shifts the value to make the
result as precise as possible. The disadvantage is that the multiplication
with 1000 will overflow shortly after 52 days. sched_clock is used by the
scheduler for time stamp deltas, if an overflow occurs between two time stamps
the scheduler will get confused.
With the patch the problem occurs only after approx. one year, so the chance
to run into this overflow is extremly low.

Olaf Hering <olh@suse.de>
Olaf reported UML doesn't build for him with a clear analisys of what happened
- we're using NR_CPUS in files linked against glibc headers. Seems like it
defines CONFIG_SMP but not CONFIG_NR_CPUS, so we get CONFIG_NR_CPUS

The fix is to move the declaration away from that header file and move it in

[PATCH] VMSPLIT config options
Enable selection of different user/kernel VM splits for i386, including an
optimized mode for 1GB physical RAM, which gives the kernel a direct (non
HIGHMEM) mapping to the entire 1GB rather than just the first 896MB.
There is a similarly a similarly optimized mode for machines with exactly 2GB
of physical RAM.
This can speed up the kernel by avoiding having to create/destroy temporary
HIGHMEM mappings, and by not having to include HIGHMEM support at all on such
machines. The flip side is that there's less virtual addressing left for
userspace in these alternatives, and some binary-only kernel modules may
misbehave unless rebuilt with the same VMSPLIT option as the main kernel
image.

If large amounts of zone memory are used by empty slabs then zone_reclaim

The problem with this patch is that the slab reclaim is not containable to a

In some situations one may want zone_reclaim to behave differently. For
example a process writing large amounts of memory will spew unto other nodes
to cache the writes if many pages in a zone become dirty. This may impact the
performance of processes running on other nodes.
Allowing writes during reclaim puts a stop to that behavior and throttles the
process by restricting the pages to the local zone.
Similarly one may want to contain processes to local memory by enabling
regular swap behavior during zone_reclaim. Off node memory allocation can
then be controlled through memory policies and cpusets.

Currently the zone_reclaim code has a fixed window of 30 seconds of off node
allocations should a local zone have no unused pagecache pages left. Reclaim
will be attempted again after this timeout period to avoid repeated useless
scans for memory. This is also useful to established sufficiently large off
node allocation chunks to relieve the local node.
It may be beneficial to adjust that time period for some special situations.
For example if memory use was exceeding node capacity one may want to give up
for longer periods of time. If memory spikes intermittendly then one may want
to shorten the time period to reduce the number of off node allocations.

[PATCH] jsm: fix for high baud rates problem
Scott Kilau <Scott_Kilau@digi.com>
Digi serial port console doesn't work when baud rates are set higher than
38400. So the lookup table and code in jsm_neo.c has been modified and
tested. Please let me have the feed-back.

[PATCH] disable lost tick compensation before TSCs are synced
Avoid lost tick compensation early in boot before the TSCs are
synchronized. Currently timekeeping is enabled before the TSCs are
synchronized, thus when the TSCs are synched (reset to zero), it appears
that a number of lost ticks have occurred. This can cause premature expiry
of timers and in extreme cases can cause the soft lockup detection to fire.
This resolves issues reported by Andy Whitcroft as well as bug #5366
reported by Tim Mann.

[PATCH] sys_sched_getaffinity() & hotplug
Change sched_getaffinity() so that it returns a bitmap that indicates the
legally schedulable cpus that a task is allowed to run on.
Without this patch, if CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is enabled, sched_getaffinity()
unconditionally returns (at least on IA64) a mask with NR_CPUS bits set.
This conveys no useful infornmation except for a kernel compile option.
This fixes a breakage we obseved running recent kernels. We have MPI jobs
that use sched_getaffinity() to determine where to place their threads.
Placing them on non-existant cpus is problematic :-)

[PATCH] Introduce __iowrite32_copy
This arch-independent routine copies data to a memory-mapped I/O region,
using 32-bit accesses. The naming is double-underscored to make it clear
that it does not guarantee write ordering, nor does it perform a memory
barrier afterwards; the kernel doc also explicitly states this. This style
of access is required by some devices.
This change also introduces include/linux/io.h, at Andrew's suggestion. It
only has one occupant at the moment, but is a logical destination for
oft-replicated contents of include/asm-*/{io,iomap}.h to migrate to.

[PATCH] hrtimers: fix posix-timer requeue race
From: Steven Rostedtrostedt@goodmis.org <rostedt@goodmis.org>
CPU0 expires a posix-timer and runs the callback function. The signal is
queued.
After releasing the posix-timer lock and before returning to hrtimer_run_queue
CPU0 gets interrupted. CPU1 delivers the queued signal and rearms the timer.
CPU0 comes back to hrtimer_run_queue and sets the timer state to expired.
The next modification of the timer can result in an oops, because the state
information is wrong.
Keep track of state = RUNNING and check if the state has been in the return
path of hrtimer_run_queue. In case the state has been changed, ignore a
restart request and do not touch the state variable.
