2c75910f1a x86: Make sure get_user_desc() doesn't sign extend.
The current implementation of get_user_desc() sign extends the return
value because of integer promotion rules.  For the most part, this
doesn't matter, because the top bit of base2 is usually 0.  If, however,
that bit is 1, then the entire value will be 0xffff...  which is
probably not what the caller intended.

This patch casts the entire thing to unsigned before returning, which
generates almost the same assembly as the current code but replaces the
final "cltq" (sign extend) with a "mov %eax %eax" (zero-extend).  This
fixes booting certain guests under KVM.

d39b7dd1dc sgi-gru: decrapfiy options_write() function
Not a single line of actual code in the function was really
fundamentally correct.

Problems ranged from lack of proper range checking, to removing the last
character written (which admittedly is usually '\n'), to not accepting
hex numbers even though the 'show' routine would show the data in that
format.

This tries to do better.

89240ba059 x86, fs: Fix x86 procfs stack information for threads on 64-bit
This patch fixes two issues in the procfs stack information on
x86-64 linux.

The 32 bit loader compat_do_execve did not store stack
start. (this was figured out by Alexey Dobriyan).

The stack information on a x64_64 kernel always shows 0 kbyte
stack usage, because of a missing implementation of the KSTK_ESP
macro which always returned -1.

The new implementation now returns the right value.

Building with --build-id option, .note.gnu.build-id section is added

and a bootloader fails to boot its zImage as well.

This patch adds a NOTES macro to a linker script vmlinux.ld.S to put
.note.gnu.build-id section into .note section.
Then, the .note section will be removed, because "-R .note" option is
specified in OBJCOPYFLAGS to make a vmlinux.bin binary.

e65cc194f7 ahci: Enable SB600 64bit DMA on MSI K9A2 Platinum v2
Like the Asus M2A-VM, MSI's K9A2 Platinum (MS-7376) can also support 64bit
DMA. It is a new enough board that all the BIOS releases work correctly with
64bit DMA enabled.

4b27e1bb44 cfq-iosched: limit coop preemption
CFQ has an optimization for cooperated applications. if several
io-context have close requests, they will get boost. But the
optimization get abused. Considering thread a, b, which work on one
file. a reads sectors s, s+2, s+4, ...; b reads sectors s+1, s+3, s
+5, ... Both a and b are sequential read, so they can open idle window.
a reads a sector s and goes to idle window and wakeup b. b reads sector
s+1, since in current implementation, cfq_should_preempt() thinks a and
b are cooperators, b will preempt a. b then reads sector s+1 and goes to
idle window and wakeup a. for the same reason, a will preempt b and
reads s+2. a and b will continue the circle. The circle will be very
long, and a and b will occupy whole disk queue. Other applications will
nearly have no chance to run.

Fix this limiting coop preempt until a queue is scheduled normally
again.

e6ec4fe245 cfq-iosched: fix bad return value cfq_should_preempt()
Commit a6151c3a5c inadvertently reversed
a preempt condition check, potentially causing a performance regression.
Make the meta check correct again.
