<id>urn:sha1:deac93df26b20cf8438339b5935b5f5643bc30c9</id>
<content type='text'>
It was introduced by "vsprintf: add support for '%pS' and '%pF' pointer
formats" in commit 0fe1ef24f7bd0020f29ffe287dfdb9ead33ca0b2.  However,
the current way its coded doesn't work on parisc64.  For two reasons: 1)
parisc isn't in the #ifdef and 2) parisc has a different format for
function descriptors

Make dereference_function_descriptor() more accommodating by allowing
architecture overrides.  I put the three overrides (for parisc64, ppc64
and ia64) in arch/kernel/module.c because that's where the kernel
internal linker which knows how to deal with function descriptors sits.

<title>dma-mapping: add the device argument to dma_mapping_error()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:8d8bb39b9eba32dd70e87fd5ad5c5dd4ba118e06</id>
<content type='text'>
Add per-device dma_mapping_ops support for CONFIG_X86_64 as POWER
architecture does:

This enables us to cleanly fix the Calgary IOMMU issue that some devices
are not behind the IOMMU (http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/5/8/423).

I think that per-device dma_mapping_ops support would be also helpful for
KVM people to support PCI passthrough but Andi thinks that this makes it
difficult to support the PCI passthrough (see the above thread).  So I
CC'ed this to KVM camp.  Comments are appreciated.

A pointer to dma_mapping_ops to struct dev_archdata is added.  If the
pointer is non NULL, DMA operations in asm/dma-mapping.h use it.  If it's
NULL, the system-wide dma_ops pointer is used as before.

If it's useful for KVM people, I plan to implement a mechanism to register
a hook called when a new pci (or dma capable) device is created (it works
with hot plugging).  It enables IOMMUs to set up an appropriate
dma_mapping_ops per device.

The major obstacle is that dma_mapping_error doesn't take a pointer to the
device unlike other DMA operations.  So x86 can't have dma_mapping_ops per
device.  Note all the POWER IOMMUs use the same dma_mapping_error function
so this is not a problem for POWER but x86 IOMMUs use different
dma_mapping_error functions.

The first patch adds the device argument to dma_mapping_error.  The patch
is trivial but large since it touches lots of drivers and dma-mapping.h in
all the architecture.

This patch:

dma_mapping_error() doesn't take a pointer to the device unlike other DMA
operations.  So we can't have dma_mapping_ops per device.

Note that POWER already has dma_mapping_ops per device but all the POWER
IOMMUs use the same dma_mapping_error function.  x86 IOMMUs use device
argument.

<content type='text'>
This patch removes the dummy asm/kvm.h files on architectures not (yet)
supporting KVM and uses the same conditional headers installation as
already used for a.out.h .

Also removed are superfluous install rules in the s390 and x86 Kbuild
files (they are already in Kbuild.asm).

<title>include/asm/ptrace.h userspace headers cleanup</title>

<id>urn:sha1:f22ab814a24e654b1de24db0c5f8b57b5ab2026a</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch contains the following cleanups for the asm/ptrace.h
userspace headers:

- include/asm-generic/Kbuild.asm already lists ptrace.h, remove
  the superfluous listings in the Kbuild files of the following
  architectures:
  - cris
  - frv
  - powerpc
  - x86
- don't expose function prototypes and macros to userspace:
  - arm
  - blackfin
  - cris
  - mn10300
  - parisc
- remove #ifdef CONFIG_'s around #define's:
  - blackfin
  - m68knommu
- sh: AFAIK __SH5__ should work in both kernel and userspace,
      no need to leak CONFIG_SUPERH64 to userspace
- xtensa: cosmetical change to remove empty
            #ifndef __ASSEMBLY__ #else #endif
          from the userspace headers

Not changed by this patch is the fact that the following architectures
have a different struct pt_regs depending on CONFIG_ variables:
- h8300
- m68knommu
- mips

This does not work in userspace.

We duplicate alloc/free_thread_info defines on many platforms (the
majority uses __get_free_pages/free_pages).  This patch defines common
defines and removes these duplicated defines.
__HAVE_ARCH_THREAD_INFO_ALLOCATOR is introduced for platforms that do
something different.

<content type='text'>
* Now that ide_hwif_t instances are allocated dynamically
  the difference between MAX_HWIFS == 2 and MAX_HWIFS == 10
  is ~100 bytes (x86-32) so use MAX_HWIFS == 10 on all archs
  except these ones that use MAX_HWIFS == 1.

* Define MAX_HWIFS in &lt;linux/ide.h&gt; instead of &lt;asm/ide.h&gt;.

[ Please note that avr32/cris/v850 have no &lt;asm/ide.h&gt;
  and alpha/ia64/sh always define CONFIG_IDE_MAX_HWIFS. ]
