38938c879e Add support for GCC-4.5's __builtin_unreachable() to compiler.h (v2)
Starting with version 4.5, GCC has a new built-in function
__builtin_unreachable() that can be used in places like the kernel's
BUG() where inline assembly is used to transfer control flow.  This
eliminated the need for an endless loop in these places.

The patch adds a new macro 'unreachable()' that will expand to either
__builtin_unreachable() or an endless loop depending on the compiler
version.

Change from v1: Simplify unreachable() for non-GCC 4.5 case.

d29cecda03 mac80211: fix reorder buffer release
My patch "mac80211: correctly place aMPDU RX reorder code"
uses an skb queue for MPDUs that were released from the
buffer. I intentially didn't initialise and use the skb
queue's spinlock, but in this place forgot that the code
variant that doesn't touch the spinlock is needed.

Thanks to Christian Lamparter for quickly spotting the
bug in the backtrace Reinette reported.

- handle non-zero stkadj when accessing pc and sr in ptregs
- correctly handle PT_SR in PTRACE_POKEUSR
- report -EIO when trying to read unknown offset in PTRACE_PEEKUSR

Additionally, the handling of the special case that PT_SR accesses a 16

914828fad0 mac80211: Fix TX status reporting for injected data frames
An earlier optimization on removing unnecessary traffic on cooked
monitor interfaces ("mac80211: reduce the amount of unnecessary traffic
on cooked monitor interfaces ") ended up removing quite a bit more
than just unnecessary traffic. It was not supposed to remove TX status
reporting for injected frames, but ended up doing it by checking the
injected flag in skb->cb only after that field had been cleared with
memset.. Fix this by taking a local copy of the injected flag before
skb->cb is cleared.

This broke user space applications that depend on getting TX status
notifications for injected data frames. For example, STA inactivity
poll from hostapd did not work and ended up kicking out stations even
if they were still present.

316a4d966c b43legacy: avoid PPC fault during resume
For PPC architecture with PHY Revision < 3, a read of the register
B43_MMIO_HWENABLED_LO will cause a CPU fault unless b43legacy_status()
returns a value of 2 (B43legacy_STAT_STARTED); however, one finds that
the driver is unable to associate after resuming from hibernation unless
this routine returns 1. To satisfy both conditions, the routine is rewritten
to return TRUE whenever b43legacy_status() returns a value < 2.

This patch fixes the second problem listed in the postings for Red Hat
Bugzilla #538523.

c2ff581aca b43: avoid PPC fault during resume
The routine b43_is_hw_radio_enabled() has long been a problem.
For PPC architecture with PHY Revision < 3, a read of the register
B43_MMIO_HWENABLED_LO will cause a CPU fault unless b43_status()
returns a value of 2 (B43_STAT_STARTED) (BUG 14181). Fixing that
results in Bug 14538 in which the driver is unable to reassociate
after resuming from hibernation because b43_status() returns 0.

The correct fix would be to determine why the status is 0; however,
I have not yet found why that happens. The correct value is found for
my device, which has PHY revision >= 3.

Returning TRUE when the PHY revision < 3 and b43_status() returns 0 fixes
the regression for 2.6.32.

This patch fixes the problem in Red Hat Bugzilla #538523.

6060e8df51 ARM: I-cache: flush executable mappings in flush_cache_range()
Dirk Behme reported instability on ARM11 SMP (VIPT non-aliasing cache)
caused by the dynamic linker changing protection on text pages to write
GOT entries.  The problem is due to an interaction between the write
faulting code providing new anonymous pages which are incoherent with
the I-cache due to write buffering, and the I-cache not having been
invalidated.

a4db94d plugs the hole with the data cache coherency.  This patch
provides the other half of the fix by flushing the I-cache in
flush_cache_range() for VM_EXEC VMAs (which is what we have when the
region is being made executable again.)  This ensures that the I-cache
will be up to date with the newly COW'd pages.

Note: if users are writing instructions, then they still need to use
the ARM sys_cacheflush API to ensure that the caches are correctly
synchronized.

   We can allow the stale lines to evict themselves over time without
   causing any harm.

2. when a process forks, and we've allocated a new ASID.
   The instruction cache issues are dealt with as pages are brought
   into the new process address space.  Flushing the I-cache here is
   therefore unnecessary.

However, we must keep the VIPT aliasing D-cache flush to ensure that
any dirty cache lines are not written back after the pages have been
reallocated for some other use - which would result in corruption.

115b22474e ARM: 5794/1: Flush the D-cache during copy_user_highpage()
The I and D caches for copy-on-write pages on processors with
write-allocate caches become incoherent causing problems on application
relying on CoW for text pages (dynamic linker relocating symbols in a
text page). This patch flushes the D-cache for such pages.

f91fb05d82 ARM: Remove __flush_icache_all() from __flush_dcache_page()
Both call sites for __flush_dcache_page() end up calling
__flush_icache_all() themselves, so having __flush_dcache_page() do
this as well is wasteful.  Remove the duplicated icache flushing.
