The TWL4030 IRQ handler has a bug which leads to spinlock lock-up. It is

If gcc chooses to put flags on the stack, for instance because this is
inlined into a larger function with more register pressure, the offset
of the flags variable from the stack pointer will change when the
pushf is performed. gcc doesn't attempt to understand that fact, and
address used for pop will still be the same. It will write to
somewhere near flags on the stack but not actually into it and
overwrite some other value.
I saw this happen in the ide_device_add_all function when running in a
simulator I work on. I'm assuming that some quirk of how the simulated
hardware is set up caused the code path this is on to be executed when
it normally wouldn't.
This happens because the 64-bit version of efi_ioremap calls
init_memory_mapping for all addresses, regardless of whether they are
RAM or MMIO. The EFI tables on this machine ask for runtime access to
some MMIO regions:
This arranges to pass the EFI memory type through to efi_ioremap, and
makes efi_ioremap use ioremap rather than init_memory_mapping if the
type is EFI_MEMORY_MAPPED_IO. With this, the above warning goes away.

md_integrity_register() is called from the ->run and ->hot_remove

function iterates over the component devices of the array and
determines if all active devices are integrity capable and if their

for the mddev via blk_integrity_register().
The second new function, md_integrity_add_rdev() is called from the
->hot_add_disk methods, i.e. whenever a new device is being added
to a raid array. If the new device does not support data integrity,
or has a profile different from the one already registered, data
integrity for the mddev is disabled.

sched: Fix race in cpupri introduced by cpumask_var changes
Background:
Several race conditions in the scheduler have cropped up
recently, which Steven and I have tracked down using ftrace.
The most recent one turns out to be a race in how the scheduler
determines a suitable migration target for RT tasks, introduced
recently with commit:
The original design of cpupri allowed lockless readers to
quickly determine a best-estimate target. Races between the
pri_active bitmap and the vec->mask were handled in the
original code because we would detect and return "0" when this
occured. The design was predicated on the *effective*
atomicity (*) of caching the result of cpus_and() between the
cpus_allowed and the vec->mask.
Commit 68e74568 changed the behavior such that vec->mask is
accessed multiple times. This introduces a subtle race, the
result of which means we can have a result that returns "1",
but with an empty bitmap.
*) yes, we know cpus_and() is not a locked operator across the
entire composite array, but it is implicitly atomic on a
per-word basis which is all the design required to work.
Implementation:
Rather than forgoing the lockless design, or reverting to a
stack-based cpumask_t, we simply check for when the race has
been encountered and continue processing in the event that the
race is hit. This renders the removal race as if the priority
bit had been atomically cleared as well, and allows the
algorithm to execute correctly.

has uid= or gid= options specified.
It also adds a couple of printk notices that pop up when forceuid or
forcegid options are specified without a uid= or gid= option.
The standard ACPI dock driver can handle the hotplug bays and docks of
the ThinkPads just fine (including batteries) as of 2.6.27, and the
code in thinkpad-acpi for the dock and bay subdrivers is currently
broken anyway...
Userspace needs some love to support the two-stage ejection nicely,
but it is simple enough to do through udev rules (you don't even need
HAL) so this wouldn't justify fixing the dock and bay subdrivers,
either.
That leaves warm-swap bays (_EJ3) support for thinkpad-acpi, as well
as support for the weird dock of the model 570, but since such support
has never left the "experimental" stage, it is also not a strong
enough reason to find a way to fix this code.
Users of ThinkPads with warm-swap bays are urged to request that _EJ3
support be added to the regular ACPI dock driver, if such feature is
indeed useful for them.
thinkpad-acpi: disable broken bay and dock subdrivers
Currently, the ThinkPad-ACPI bay and dock drivers are completely
broken, and cause a NULL pointer derreference in kernel mode (and,
therefore, an OOPS) when they try to issue events (i.e. on dock,
undock, bay ejection, etc).
OTOH, the standard ACPI dock driver can handle the hotplug bays and
docks of the ThinkPads just fine (including batteries) as of 2.6.27.
In fact, it does a much better job of it than thinkpad-acpi ever did.
It is just not worth the hassle to find a way to fix this crap without
breaking the (deprecated) thinkpad-acpi dock/bay ABI. This is old,
deprecated code that sees little testing or use.
As a quick fix suitable for -stable backports, mark the thinkpad-acpi
bay and dock subdrivers as BROKEN in Kconfig. The dead code will be
removed by a later patch.
This fixes bugzilla #13669, and should be applied to 2.6.27 and later.

do_sigaltstack: small cleanups
The previous commit ("do_sigaltstack: avoid copying 'stack_t' as a
structure to user space") fixed a real bug. This one just cleans up the
copy from user space to that gcc can generate better code for it (and so
that it looks the same as the later copy back to user space).

do_sigaltstack: avoid copying 'stack_t' as a structure to user space
Ulrich Drepper correctly points out that there is generally padding in
the structure on 64-bit hosts, and that copying the structure from
kernel to user space can leak information from the kernel stack in those
padding bytes.
Avoid the whole issue by just copying the three members one by one
instead, which also means that the function also can avoid the need for
a stack frame. This also happens to match how we copy the new structure
from user space, so it all even makes sense.
[ The obvious solution of adding a memset() generates horrid code, gcc
does really stupid things. ]
