powerpc: Support for relocatable kdump kernel
This adds relocatable kernel support for kdump. With this one can
use the same regular kernel to capture the kdump. A signature (0xfeed1234)
is passed in r6 from panic code to the next kernel through kexec_sequence
and purgatory code. The signature is used to differentiate between
kdump kernel and non-kdump kernels.
The purgatory code compares the signature and sets the __kdump_flag in
head_64.S. During the boot up, kernel code checks __kdump_flag and if it
is set, the kernel will behave as relocatable kdump kernel. This kernel
will boot at the address where it was loaded by kexec-tools ie. at the
address reserved through crashkernel boot parameter.
CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP depends on CONFIG_RELOCATABLE option to build kdump
kernel as relocatable. So the same kernel can be used as production and
kdump kernel.
This patch incorporates the changes suggested by Paul Mackerras to avoid
GOT use and to avoid two copies of the code.

2. khvcd may loop:
The thread calls hvc_poll() --> hvc_push()... if there are still
buffered data then the HVC_POLL_WRITE bit is set and causes the
khvcd thread to loop (if yield() returns immediately).
However, instead of looping, the khvcd thread could sleep for
MIN_TIMEOUT (doing the same as for get_chars()).
The MIN_TIMEOUT is set if hvc_push() was not able to write
data to the backend. If data has been written, the timeout is
set to 0 to immediately re-schedule hvc_poll().

Remove stop_machine during module load v2
Remove stop_machine during module load v2
module loading currently does a stop_machine on each module load to insert
the module into the global module lists. Especially on larger systems this
can be quite expensive.
It does that to handle concurrent lock lessmodule list readers
like kallsyms.
I don't think stop_machine() is actually needed to insert something
into a list though. There are no concurrent writers because the
module mutex is taken. And the RCU list functions know how to insert
a node into a list with the right memory ordering so that concurrent
readers don't go off into the wood.
So remove the stop_machine for the module list insert and just
do a list_add_rcu() instead.
Module removal will still do a stop_machine of course, it needs
that for other reasons.

rely on disabled preemption need to be changed to list_for_each_rcu().

dm crypt: fix async split
When writing io, dm-crypt has to allocate a new cloned bio
and encrypt the data into newly-allocated pages attached to this bio.
In rare cases, because of hw restrictions (e.g. physical segment limit)
or memory pressure, sometimes more than one cloned bio has to be used,
each processing a different fragment of the original.
Currently there is one waitqueue which waits for one fragment to finish
and continues processing the next fragment.
But when using asynchronous crypto this doesn't work, because several
fragments may be processed asynchronously or in parallel and there is
only one crypt context that cannot be shared between the bio fragments.
The result may be corruption of the data contained in the encrypted bio.
The patch fixes this by allocating new dm_crypt_io structs (with new
crypto contexts) and running them independently.
The fragments contains a pointer to the base dm_crypt_io struct to
handle reference counting, so the base one is properly deallocated
after all the fragments are finished.
In a low memory situation, this only uses one additional object from the
mempool. If the mempool is empty, the next allocation simple waits for
previous fragments to complete.

Fix a race condition with primary_pe ref_count handling.

__origin_write does atomic_dec_and_test on primary_pe->ref_count without holding

This opens the following race condition:
Assume two CPUs, CPU1 is executing put_pending_exception (and holding
dm_snapshot->lock). CPU2 is executing __origin_write in parallel.
primary_pe->ref_count == 2.
CPU1:
if (primary_pe && atomic_dec_and_test(&primary_pe->ref_count))
origin_bios = bio_list_get(&primary_pe->origin_bios);
... decrements primary_pe->ref_count to 1. Doesn't load origin_bios

if (primary_pe && !atomic_read(&primary_pe->ref_count))
free_pending_exception(primary_pe);

This bug can happen only if someone is simultaneously writing to both the
origin and the snapshot.
If someone is writing only to the origin, __origin_write will submit kcopyd
request after it decrements primary_pe->ref_count (so it can't happen that the
finished copy races with primary_pe->ref_count decrementation).
If someone is writing only to the snapshot, __origin_write isn't invoked at all
and the race can't happen.
The race happens when someone writes to the snapshot --- this creates
pending_exception with primary_pe == NULL and starts copying. Then, someone
writes to the same chunk in the snapshot, and __origin_write races with
termination of already submitted request in pending_complete (that calls
put_pending_exception).
This race may be reason for bugs:

us).

dm kcopyd: avoid queue shuffle

of magnitude slower than those to LV without snapshots or
snapshot target volumes, especially in the case of sequential
writes with O_SYNC on.
The following patch originally written by Kevin Jamieson and
Jan Blunck and slightly modified for the current RCs by myself
tries to improve the performance by modifying the behaviour
of kcopyd, so that it pushes back an I/O job to the head of
the job queue instead of the tail as process_jobs() currently
does when it has to wait for free pages. This way, write
requests aren't shuffled to cause extra seeks.
I tested the patch against 2.6.27-rc5 and got the following results.
The test is a dd command writing to snapshot origin followed by fsync
to the file just created/updated. A couple of filesystem benchmarks
gave me similar results in case of sequential writes, while random
writes didn't suffer much.
dd if=/dev/zero of=<somewhere on snapshot origin> bs=4096 count=...

compared with write throughput to LV without any snapshots,
all dd+fsync and 1000 MiB writes perform very poorly.
Although still not on par with plain LV performance -
cannot be avoided because it's copy on write anyway -
this simple patch successfully improves throughtput

The kernel number of a v4l2 node (e.g. videoX, radioX or vbiX) is now
independent of the minor number. So instead of using the minor field
of the video_device struct one has to use the num field: this always
contains the kernel number of the device node.
I forgot about this when I did the v4l2 core change, so this patch
converts all drivers that use it in one go. Luckily the change is
trivial.

V4L/DVB (9315): s5h1411: Skip reconfiguring demod modulation if already at the desired modulation
If we are already at the desired modulation, there is no need to reconfigure
the demod (at a tuning time cost)
Note that this change revealed that although the datasheet says the demod
starts out in VSB-8 mode, the first tuning was failing consistently unless
we went through the work of setting the registers. So add a field to denote
this case so we always do the enable_frontend call, even if the first tuning
request is for VSB-8.

V4L/DVB (9314): s5h1411: Perform s5h1411 soft reset after tuning
If you instruct the tuner to change frequencies, it can take up to 2500ms to
get a demod lock. By performing a soft reset after the tuning call (which
is consistent with how the Pinnacle 801e Windows driver behaves), you get
a demod lock inside of 300ms

V4L/DVB (9300): pvrusb2: Fix deadlock problem
Fix deadlock problem in 2.6.27 caused by new USB core behavior in
response to a USB device reset request. With older kernels, the USB
device reset was "in line"; the reset simply took place and the driver
retained its association with the hardware. However now this reset
triggers a disconnect, and worse still the disconnect callback happens
in the context of the caller who asked for the device reset. This
results in an attempt by the pvrusb2 driver to recursively take a
mutex it already has, which deadlocks the driver's worker thread.
(Even if the disconnect callback were to happen on a different thread
we'd still have problems however - because while the driver should
survive and correctly disconnect / reconnect, it will then trigger
another device reset during the repeated initialization, which will
then cause another disconect, etc, forever.) The fix here is simply
to not attempt the device reset (it was of marginal value anyway).

}
The inconsistency of the code and the comments show a bug here.
rcu_read_lock() cannot make sure that "grace periods for RCU_BH
cannot complete until all the callbacks are queued".
it only make sure that race periods for RCU cannot complete
until all the callbacks are queued.
so we must use rcu_read_lock_bh() for rcu_barrier_bh().
like this:
and also rcu_barrier() rcu_barrier_sched() are implemented like this.
it will bring a lot of duplicate code. My patch uses another way to
fix this bug, please see the comment of my patch.

It is also not a good thing if the character string resided in kmalloc'd
