x86 setup: correct segfault in generation of 32-bit reloc kernel
Impact: jiffies increment too fast.
Hugh Dickins noted that with NOHZ=n and HIGHRES=n jiffies get
incremented too fast. The reason is a wrong check in the broadcast
enter/exit code, which keeps the local apic timer in periodic mode
when the switch happens.

At some point during the 2.6.27 development cycle two new fields were added
to the SELinux context structure, a string pointer and a length field. The
code in selinux_secattr_to_sid() was not modified and as a result these two
fields were left uninitialized which could result in erratic behavior,
including kernel panics, when NetLabel is used. This patch fixes the
problem by fully initializing the context in selinux_secattr_to_sid() before
use and reducing the level of direct context manipulation done to help
prevent future problems.
Please apply this to the 2.6.27-rcX release stream.

When converting arch/x86/boot/compressed/relocs.c to support unlimited

This fixes a regression that came with 934b2857cc
("[S390] nohz/sclp: disable timer on synchronous waits.").
If udelay() gets called from a disabled context it sets the clock comparator
to a value where it expects the next interrupt. When the interrupt happens
the clock comparator gets not reset and therefore the interrupt condition
doesn't get cleared. The result is an endless timer interrupt loop.
In addition this patch fixes also the following:
rcutorture reveals that our __udelay implementation is still buggy,
since it might schedule tasklets, but prevents their execution:
NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 42
NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 02
NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 142
NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 02
To fix this we make sure that only the clock comparator interrupt
is enabled when the enabled wait psw is loaded.
Also no code gets called anymore which might schedule tasklets.

Doing 'WARN_ON(preempt_count())' was horribly horribly wrong, and would
cause tons of warnings at bootup if PREEMPT was enabled because the
initcalls currently run with the kernel lock, which increments the
preempt count.
At the same time, the warning was also insufficient, since it didn't
check that interrupts were enabled.
The proper debug function to use for something that can sleep and wants
a warning if it's called in the wrong context is 'might_sleep()'.

This is loosely based on a patch by Jesse Barnes to check the user-space
PCI mappings though the sysfs interfaces. Quoting Jesse's original
explanation:
It's fairly common for applications to map PCI resources through sysfs.
However, with the current implementation, it's possible for an application
to map far more than the range corresponding to the resourceN file it
opened. This patch plugs that hole by checking the range at mmap time,
similar to what is done on platforms like sparc64 in their lower level
PCI remapping routines.
It was initially put together to help debug the e1000e NVRAM corruption
problem, since we initially thought an X driver might be walking past the
end of one of its mappings and clobbering the NVRAM. It now looks like
that's not the case, but doing the check is still important for obvious
reasons.
and this version of the patch differs in that it uses a helper function
to clarify the code, and does all the checks in pages (instead of bytes)
in order to avoid overflows when doing "<< PAGE_SHIFT" etc.

When we initialise a compound page we initialise the page flags and head
page pointer for all base pages spanned by that page. When we initialise
a gigantic page (a page of order greater than or equal to MAX_ORDER) we
have to initialise more than MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES pages. Currently we
assume that all elements of the mem_map in this page are contigious in
memory. However this is only guarenteed out to MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES pages,
and with SPARSEMEM enabled they will not be contigious. This leads us to
walk off the end of the first section and scribble on everything which
follows, BAD.
When we reach a MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES boundary we much locate the next
section of the mem_map. As gigantic pages can only be maximally aligned
we know this will occur at exact multiple of MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES pages from
the start of the page.
This is a bug fix for the gigantic page support in hugetlbfs.

The previous patch db203d53d4 ("mm:
tiny-shmem fix lock ordering: mmap_sem vs i_mutex") to fix the lock
ordering in tiny-shmem breaks shared anonymous and IPC memory on NOMMU
architectures because it was using the expanding truncate to signal ramfs
to allocate a physically contiguous RAM backing the inode (otherwise it is
unusable for "memory mapping" it to userspace).
However do_truncate is what caused the lock ordering error, due to it
taking i_mutex. In this case, we can actually just call ramfs directly to
allocate memory for the mapping, rather than go via truncate.
