I realized that the mtrr.show param cannot work, because
the code is processed much too early.
This patch:
- Declares mtrr.show as early_param
- Stays consistent with the previous param (which I doubt
that it ever worked), so mtrr.show=1 would still work
- Declares mtrr_show as initdata

Impact: fix sporadic slowdowns and warning messages
This patch fixes a performance issue reported by Linus on his
Nehalem system. While Linus reverted the PAT patch (commit
58dab916df) which exposed the issue,
existing cpa() code can potentially still cause wrong(page attribute
corruption) behavior.
This patch also fixes the "WARNING: at arch/x86/mm/pageattr.c:560" that
various people reported.
In 64bit kernel, kernel identity mapping might have holes depending
on the available memory and how e820 reports the address range
covering the RAM, ACPI, PCI reserved regions. If there is a 2MB/1GB hole
in the address range that is not listed by e820 entries, kernel identity
mapping will have a corresponding hole in its 1-1 identity mapping.
If cpa() happens on the kernel identity mapping which falls into these holes,
existing code fails like this:
__change_page_attr_set_clr()
__change_page_attr()
returns 0 because of if (!kpte). But doesn't
set cpa->numpages and cpa->pfn.
cpa_process_alias()
uses uninitialized cpa->pfn (random value)
which can potentially lead to changing the page
attribute of kernel text/data, kernel identity
mapping of RAM pages etc. oops!
This bug was easily exposed by another PAT patch which was doing
cpa() more often on kernel identity mapping holes (physical range between
max_low_pfn_mapped and 4GB), where in here it was setting the
cache disable attribute(PCD) for kernel identity mappings aswell.
Fix cpa() to handle the kernel identity mapping holes. Retain
the WARN() for cpa() calls to other not present address ranges
(kernel-text/data, ioremap() addresses)

When doing large allocations (larger than the per-device coherent area)
the generic memory allocators are silently fallen back on regardless of
consideration for the per-device constraints.
In the DMA_MEMORY_EXCLUSIVE case falling back on generic memory is not
an option, as it tends not to be addressable by the DMA hardware in
question. This issue showed up with the 8139too breakage on the
Dreamcast, where non-addressable buffers were silently allocated due to
the size mismatch calculation -- while it should have simply errored out
upon being unable to satisfy the allocation with the given device
constraints.
This restores fall back behaviour to what it was before the oversized
request change caused multiple regressions.

Commit 58c6d3dfe4 ("dma-coherent: catch
oversized requests to dma_alloc_from_coherent()") attempted to add a
sanity check to bail out on allocations larger than the coherent area.
Unfortunately when this was implemented, the fact the coherent area
is tracked in pages rather than bytes was overlooked, which subsequently
broke every single dma_alloc_from_coherent() user, forcing the allocation
silently through generic memory instead.

This reverts commit 4217458daf.
Justin Madru bisected this commit, it was causing weird Firefox

The reason is that GCC mis-optimizes (re-uses) the on-stack parameters of
the calling frame, which corrupts the syscall return pt_regs state and
thus corrupts user-space register state.
So we go back to the slightly less clean but more optimization-safe
method of getting to pt_regs. Also add a comment to explain this.

The asm constraints for the strncpy_from_user() result were missing an

Commit 3ada8b7e ("block: struct device - replace bus_id with dev_name(),
dev_set_name()") deleted the code in register_disk() that changed a '/'
to a '!' in the device name when registering a disk, but dev_set_name()
does not perform this conversion.
This leads to amusing problems with disks that have '/' in their names:
for example a failure to boot with the root partition on a cciss device,
even though the kernel says it knows about the root device:
VFS: Cannot open root device "cciss/c0d0p6" or unknown-block(0,0)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option; here are the available partitions:
6800 71652960 cciss/c0d0 driver: cciss
6802 1 cciss/c0d0p2
6805 2931831 cciss/c0d0p5
6806 34354908 cciss/c0d0p6
6810 71652960 cciss/c0d1 driver: cciss
Fix this by adding code to change '/' to '!' in dev_set_name() to handle
this until dev_set_name() is converted to use kobject_set_name().

The trick in socket splicing where we try to convert the skb->data
into a page based reference using virt_to_page() does not work so
well.
The idea is to pass the virt_to_page() reference via the pipe
buffer, and refcount the buffer using a SKB reference.
But if we are splicing from a socket to a socket (via sendpage)
this doesn't work.
The from side processing will grab the page (and SKB) references.
The sendpage() calls will grab page references only, return, and
then the from side processing completes and drops the SKB ref.
The page based reference to skb->data is not enough to keep the
kmalloc() buffer backing it from being reused. Yet, that is
all that the socket send side has at this point.
This leads to data corruption if the skb->data buffer is reused
by SLAB before the send side socket actually gets the TX packet
out to the device.
The fix employed here is to simply allocate a page and copy the
skb->data bytes into that page.
This will hurt performance, but there is no clear way to fix this
properly without a copy at the present time, and it is important
to get rid of the data corruption.
With fixes from Herbert Xu.

This patch modifies how the tg3 driver handles device firmware.
The patch starts by consolidating David Woodhouse's earlier patch under
the same name. Specifically, the patch moves the request_firmware call
into a separate tg3_request_firmware() function and calls that function
from tg3_open() rather than tg3_init_one().
The patch then goes on to limit the number of devices that will make
request_firmware calls. The original firmware patch unnecessarily
requested TSO firmware for devices that did not need it. This patch
reduces the set of devices making TSO firmware patches to approximately
the following device set : 5703, 5704, and 5705.
Finally, the patch reduces the effects of a request_firmware() failure.
For those devices that are requesting TSO firmware, the driver will turn
off the TSO capability. If TSO firmware becomes available at a later
time, the device can be closed and then opened again to reacquire the
TSO capability.
