07de5bdb7b tc1100-wmi: Fix state reporting
The tc1100-wmi driver should print the current states of wireless LAN and
jogdial brightness control when "cat /sys/devices/platform/tc1100-wmi/wireless"
and "cat /sys/devices/platform/tc1100-wmi/jogdial" are executed, respectively.
What actually happens is that both of those commands print 0 regardless of the
hardware state. The cause is that wmi_query_block returns an ACPI_TYPE_INTEGER
rather than ACPI_TYPE_BUFFER as the driver assumes. Additionally, the driver
intends to return a jogdial state that is inverted with respect to the commands
required to set it (e.g. it intends to return 1 after the jogdial file was
written with 0).

This patch fixes both of those issues - the commands to query the
state now work, and should return the same state that was written.

Pallipadi, Venkatesh
a59d1637eb ACPI: cap off P-state transition latency from buggy BIOSes
Some BIOSes report very high frequency transition latency which are plainly
wrong on CPus that can change frequency using native MSR interface.

One such system is IBM T42 (2327-8ZU) as reported by Owen Taylor and
Rik van Riel.

cpufreq_ondemand driver uses this transition latency to come up with a
reasonable sampling interval to sample CPU usage and with such high
latency value, ondemand sampling interval ends up being very high
(0.5 sec, in this particular case), resulting in performance impact due to
slow response to increasing frequency.

Fix it by capping-off the transition latency to 20uS for native MSR based
frequency transitions.

mjg: We've confirmed that this also helps on the X31

003086497f Build with -fno-dwarf2-cfi-asm
With a sufficiently new compiler and binutils, code which wasn't
previously generating .eh_frame sections has begun to.  Certain
architectures (powerpc, in this case) may generate unexpected relocation
formats in response to this, preventing modules from loading.

While the new relocation types should probably be handled, revert to the
previous behaviour with regards to generation of .eh_frame sections.

(This was reported against Fedora, which appears to be the only distro
doing any building against gcc-4.4 at present: RH bz#486545.)

53da1d9456 fix ptrace slowness
This patch fixes bug #12208:

  Bug-Entry       : http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12208
  Subject         : uml is very slow on 2.6.28 host

This turned out to be not a scheduler regression, but an already
existing problem in ptrace being triggered by subtle scheduler
changes.

The problem is this:

 - task A is ptracing task B
 - task B stops on a trace event
 - task A is woken up and preempts task B
 - task A calls ptrace on task B, which does ptrace_check_attach()
 - this calls wait_task_inactive(), which sees that task B is still on the runq
 - task A goes to sleep for a jiffy
 - ...

Since UML does lots of the above sequences, those jiffies quickly add
up to make it slow as hell.

This patch solves this by not rescheduling in read_unlock() after
ptrace_stop() has woken up the tracer.

Thanks to Oleg Nesterov and Ingo Molnar for the feedback.

This patch fixes the issue by removing offending (and somewhat
duplicate) code from init_phy() routine, and changes _probe()
function to use uec_mdio_bus_name().

Also, since we fully construct phy_bus_id in the _probe() routine,
we no longer need ->phy_address and ->mdio_bus fields in
ucc_geth_info structure.

I wish the patch would be a bit shorter, but it seems like the only
way to fix the issue in a sane way. Luckily, the patch has been
tested with real PHYs and fixed-link, so no further regressions
expected.

e3162d381f dm9000: locking bugfix
This fixes a locking bug in the dm9000 driver.  It calls
request_irq() without setting IRQF_DISABLED ... which is
correct for handlers that support IRQ sharing, since that
behavior is not guaranteed for shared IRQs.  However, its
IRQ handler then wrongly assumes that IRQs are blocked.
So the fix just uses the right spinlock primitives in the
IRQ handler.

NOTE:  this is a classic example of the type of bug which
lockdep currently masks by forcibly setting IRQF_DISABLED
on IRQ handlers that did not request that flag.

2aac0cf886 eCryptfs: NULL crypt_stat dereference during lookup
If ecryptfs_encrypted_view or ecryptfs_xattr_metadata were being
specified as mount options, a NULL pointer dereference of crypt_stat
was possible during lookup.

This patch moves the crypt_stat assignment into
ecryptfs_lookup_and_interpose_lower(), ensuring that crypt_stat
will not be NULL before we attempt to dereference it.

8faece5f90 eCryptfs: Allocate a variable number of pages for file headers
When allocating the memory used to store the eCryptfs header contents, a
single, zeroed page was being allocated with get_zeroed_page().
However, the size of an eCryptfs header is either PAGE_CACHE_SIZE or
ECRYPTFS_MINIMUM_HEADER_EXTENT_SIZE (8192), whichever is larger, and is
stored in the file's private_data->crypt_stat->num_header_bytes_at_front
field.

ecryptfs_write_metadata_to_contents() was using
num_header_bytes_at_front to decide how many bytes should be written to
the lower filesystem for the file header.  Unfortunately, at least 8K
was being written from the page, despite the chance of the single,
zeroed page being smaller than 8K.  This resulted in random areas of
kernel memory being written between the 0x1000 and 0x1FFF bytes offsets
in the eCryptfs file headers if PAGE_SIZE was 4K.

This patch allocates a variable number of pages, calculated with
num_header_bytes_at_front, and passes the number of allocated pages
along to ecryptfs_write_metadata_to_contents().

Thanks to Florian Streibelt for reporting the data leak and working with
me to find the problem.  2.6.28 is the only kernel release with this
vulnerability.  Corresponds to CVE-2009-0787

18a0d89e54 radeonfb: Whack the PCI PM register until it sticks
This fixes a regression introduced when we switched to using the core
pci_set_power_state().  The chip seems to need the state to be written
over and over again until it sticks, so we do that.

Note that the code is a bit blunt, without timeout, etc...  but that's
pretty much because I put back in there the code exactly as it used to
be before the regression.  I still add a call to pci_set_power_state()
at the end so that ACPI gets called appropriately on x86.

65c24491b4 aio: lookup_ioctx can return the wrong value when looking up a bogus context
The libaio test harness turned up a problem whereby lookup_ioctx on a
bogus io context was returning the 1 valid io context from the list
(harness/cases/3.p).

Because of that, an extra put_iocontext was done, and when the process
exited, it hit a BUG_ON in the put_iocontext macro called from exit_aio
(since we expect a users count of 1 and instead get 0).

The problem was introduced by "aio: make the lookup_ioctx() lockless"
(commit abf137dd77).

Thanks to Zach for pointing out that hlist_for_each_entry_rcu will not
return with a NULL tpos at the end of the loop, even if the entry was
not found.

87c3a86e1c eventfd: remove fput() call from possible IRQ context
Remove a source of fput() call from inside IRQ context.  Myself, like Eric,
wasn't able to reproduce an fput() call from IRQ context, but Jeff said he was
able to, with the attached test program.  Independently from this, the bug is
conceptually there, so we might be better off fixing it.  This patch adds an
optimization similar to the one we already do on ->ki_filp, on ->ki_eventfd.
Playing with ->f_count directly is not pretty in general, but the alternative
here would be to add a brand new delayed fput() infrastructure, that I'm not
sure is worth it.

a8e7d49aa7 Fix race in create_empty_buffers() vs __set_page_dirty_buffers()
Nick Piggin noticed this (very unlikely) race between setting a page
dirty and creating the buffers for it - we need to hold the mapping
private_lock until we've set the page dirty bit in order to make sure
that create_empty_buffers() might not build up a set of buffers without
the dirty bits set when the page is dirty.

I doubt anybody has ever hit this race (and it didn't solve the issue
Nick was looking at), but as Nick says: "Still, it does appear to solve
a real race, which we should close."

(it looks like it was introduced in gcc-3.4).

192d7a4667 sparc64: Fix crash with /proc/iomem
When you compile kernel on Sparc64 with heap memory checking and type
"cat /proc/iomem", you get a crash, because pointers in struct
resource are uninitialized.

Most code fills struct resource with zeros, so I assume that it is
responsibility of the caller of request_resource to initialized it,
not the responsibility of request_resource functuion.

After 2.6.29 is out, there could be a check for uninitialized fields
added to request_resource to avoid crashes like this.

44c1d6f99d smsc911x: reset last known duplex and carrier on open
smsc911x_phy_adjust_link is called periodically by the phy layer (as
it's run in polling mode), and it only updates the hardware when it sees
a change in duplex or carrier.  This patch clears the last known values
every time the interface is brought up, instead of only when the module
is loaded.

Without this patch the adjust_link function never updates the hardware
after an ifconfig down; ifconfig up.  On a full duplex link this causes
the tx error counter to increment, even though packets are correctly
transmitted, as the default MAC_CR register setting is for half duplex.

The tx errors are "no carrier" errors, which should be ignored in
full-duplex mode.  When MAC_CR is set to "full duplex" mode they are
correctly ignored by the hardware.

Note that even with this patch the tx error counter can increment if
packets are transmitted between "ifconfig up" and the first phy poll
interval.  An improved solution would use the phy interrupt with phylib,
but I haven't managed to make this work 100% robustly yet.

69145635d4 tulip: fix crash on iface up with shirq debug
Tulip is currently doing request_irq before it has done its
initialization. This is usually not a problem because it hasn't
enable interrupts yet, but with DEBUG_SHIRQ on, we call the irq handler
when registering the interrupt as a sanity check.

This can result in a NULL ptr dereference, so call tulip_init_ring
before request_irq, and add a free_ring function to do the freeing
now shared with tulip_close.

Tested with a shell loop running ifup, ifdown in a loop a few hundred
times with DEBUG_SHIRQ on.

4783256ef9 virtio_net: Make virtio_net support carrier detection
Impact: Make NetworkManager work with virtio_net

For now the semantics are simple: There is always carrier.

This allows a seamless experience with e.g., qemu/kvm
where NetworkManager just configures and sets up
everything automagically.

If/when a generally agreed-upon way to control
carrier on/off in the emulator/hypervisor level
emerges, it will be trivial to extend the driver
to support that too, but for now even this 2-liner
makes user experience that much better.

Author: Jay Vosburgh <fubar@us.ibm.com>
Date:   Wed Jul 2 18:21:58 2008 -0700

    bonding: refactor mii monitor

	The un-refactored code checked the link speed and duplex of
every slave on every pass; the refactored code did not do so.

	The 802.3ad and balance-alb/tlb modes utilize the speed and
duplex information, and require it to be kept up to date.  This patch
adds a notifier check to perform the appropriate updating when the slave
device speed changes.

6901031372 bnx2: Fix problem of using wrong IRQ handler.
The MSI-X handler was chosen before the call to pci_enable_msix().
If MSI-X was not available, the wrong MSI-X handler would be used in
INTA mode.  This would cause a screaming interrupt problem because
INTA would not be cleared by the MSI-X handler.

Fixed by assigning MSI-X handler after pci_enable_msix() returns
successfully.  Also update version to 1.9.3.
