d92de65cab [PATCH] variable overflow after hundreds round of hotplug CPU
I'm doing the cpu hotplug stress test and found a variable ('ready') is
overflow after several hundreds rounds of cpu hotplug.  Here is a fix.

8749af6821 [PATCH] ARM: Generic Dynamic Tick Timer support for ARM, take 4
This patch adds support for Dynamic Tick Timer for ARM. Dynamic Tick is
also known as VST (Variable Scheduling Timeouts).

Dynamic Tick has been in use in the OMAP tree since last October.  The
patch is not intrusive, and does not do anything unless CONFIG_NO_IDLE_HZ
is defined.  This patch has the following fixed based on comments from
RMK:
- Time is updated before calling interrupt handlers.
- Added new interrupt flag SA_TIMER to avoid duplicate timer interrupts
- Moved struct dyn_tick_timer to time.h until we at some point probably
  have an arch independent dyn-tick.h
- Cleaned up testing for DYN_TICK_ENABLED in irq.c

 I've cleaned up this patch to fix some remaining issues:
 - Call the timer tick handler with irqs disabled, as it would be from
   a normal interrupt
 - if we have a dyn_tick, we better implement all methods.
 - generic timer_dyn_reprogram() call, to be called before sleeping
 - added command line option - "dyntick=" to allow boot-time control
   of this feature

Patch from Lennert Buytenhek

The later ixp2000 models don't need the PCI I/O workaround that we
currently perform.  Add a config option to disable the workaround,
and panic on boot if a kernel without the workaround is booted on a
buggy chip.  As only pre-production ixp2000s need the workaround,
the default is for it not to be configured in.

cpu_v6_set_pte() sets the kernel access rights to r/o for user
pages (L_PTE_USER) when neither L_PTE_WRITE nor L_PTE_DIRTY are

in the 0xffff0000 page. This patch enables the kernel r/w access.

for cmp.crel.ctype where ctype == unc, which is a special instruction

we are patching is of this type, then we should not copy the original qp to

13608d6433 [PATCH] Kprobes ia64 qp fix
Fix a bug where a kprobe still fires when the instruction is predicated
off.  So given the p6=0, and we have an instruction like:

(p6) move loc1=0

we should not be triggering the kprobe.  This is handled by carrying over
the qp section of the original instruction into the break instruction.

8bc76772ad [PATCH] Kprobes ia64 cleanup
A cleanup of the ia64 kprobes implementation such that all of the bundle
manipulation logic is concentrated in arch_prepare_kprobe().

With the current design for kprobes, the arch specific code only has a
chance to return failure inside the arch_prepare_kprobe() function.

This patch moves all of the work that was happening in arch_copy_kprobe()
and most of the work that was happening in arch_arm_kprobe() into
arch_prepare_kprobe().  By doing this we can add further robustness checks
in arch_arm_kprobe() and refuse to insert kprobes that will cause problems.
