725f2865d4 gss_krb5: Introduce encryption type framework
Make the client and server code consistent regarding the extra buffer
space made available for the auth code when wrapping data.

Add some comments/documentation about the available buffer space
in the xdr_buf head and tail when gss_wrap is called.

Add a compile-time check to make sure we are not exceeding the available
buffer space.

Add a central function to shift head data.

DA8xx OHCI driver fails to load due to failing clk_get() call for the USB 2.0

(Adding another CLK() entry for "ohci.0" device won't do -- in the future I'll
also have to enable USB 2.0 clock to configure CPPI 4.1 module, in which case
I won't have any device at all.)

b3b38d842f inotify: don't leak user struct on inotify release
inotify_new_group() receives a get_uid-ed user_struct and saves the
reference on group->inotify_data.user.  The problem is that free_uid() is
never called on it.

Issue seem to be introduced by 63c882a0 (inotify: reimplement inotify
using fsnotify) after 2.6.30.

e08733446e inotify: race use after free/double free in inotify inode marks
There is a race in the inotify add/rm watch code.  A task can find and
remove a mark which doesn't have all of it's references.  This can
result in a use after free/double free situation.

Task A					Task B
------------				-----------
inotify_new_watch()
 allocate a mark (refcnt == 1)
 add it to the idr
					inotify_rm_watch()
					 inotify_remove_from_idr()
					  fsnotify_put_mark()
					      refcnt hits 0, free
 take reference because we are on idr
 [at this point it is a use after free]
 [time goes on]
 refcnt may hit 0 again, double free

The fix is to take the reference BEFORE the object can be found in the
idr.

4ae69e6b71 mmap_min_addr check CAP_SYS_RAWIO only for write
Redirecting directly to lsm, here's the patch discussed on lkml:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/4/22/219

The mmap_min_addr value is useful information for an admin to see without
being root ("is my system vulnerable to kernel NULL pointer attacks?") and
its setting is trivially easy for an attacker to determine by calling
mmap() in PAGE_SIZE increments starting at 0, so trying to keep it private
has no value.

Only require CAP_SYS_RAWIO if changing the value, not reading it.

1c5250d616 serial: imx.c: fix CTS trigger level lower to avoid lost chars
The imx CTS trigger level is left at its reset value that is 32
chars. Since the RX FIFO has 32 entries, when CTS is raised, the
FIFO already is full. However, some serial port devices first empty
their TX FIFO before stopping when CTS is raised, resulting in lost
chars.

This patch sets the trigger level lower so that other chars arrive
after CTS is raised, there is still room for 16 of them.

5051d411ec mfd: Clean up after WM83xx AUXADC interrupt if it arrives late
In certain circumstances, especially under heavy load, the AUXADC
completion interrupt may be detected after we've timed out waiting for
it.  That conversion would still succeed but the next conversion will
see the completion that was signalled by the interrupt for the previous
conversion and therefore not wait for the AUXADC conversion to run,
causing it to report failure.

Provide a simple, non-invasive cleanup by using try_wait_for_completion()
to ensure that the completion is not signalled before we wait.  Since
the AUXADC is run within a mutex we know there can only have been at
most one AUXADC interrupt outstanding.  A more involved change should
follow for the next merge window.

3843384a05 Input: ad7877 - keep dma rx buffers in seperate cache lines
With dma based spi transmission, data corruption is observed
occasionally. With dma buffers located right next to msg and
xfer fields, cache lines correctly flushed in preparation for
dma usage may be polluted again when writing to fields in the
same cache line.

Make sure cache fields used with dma do not share cache lines
with fields changed during dma handling. As both fields are part
of a struct that is allocated via kzalloc, thus cache aligned,
moving the fields to the 1st position and insert padding for
alignment does the job.

f8c5fae166 KVM: VMX: blocked-by-sti must not defer NMI injections
As the processor may not consider GUEST_INTR_STATE_STI as a reason for
blocking NMI, it could return immediately with EXIT_REASON_NMI_WINDOW
when we asked for it. But as we consider this state as NMI-blocking, we
can run into an endless loop.

Resolve this by allowing NMI injection if just GUEST_INTR_STATE_STI is
active (originally suggested by Gleb). Intel confirmed that this is
safe, the processor will never complain about NMI injection in this
state.

7ac512aa82 CacheFiles: Fix error handling in cachefiles_determine_cache_security()
cachefiles_determine_cache_security() is expected to return with a
security override in place.  However, if set_create_files_as() fails, we
fail to do this.  In this case, we should just reinstate the security
override that was set by the caller.

Furthermore, if set_create_files_as() fails, we should dispose of the
new credentials we were in the process of creating.

91af708141 rwsem: Test for no active locks in __rwsem_do_wake undo code
If there are no active threasd using a semaphore, it is always correct
to unqueue blocked threads.  This seems to be what was intended in the
undo code.

What was done instead, was to look for a sem count of zero - this is an
impossible situation, given that at least one thread is known to be
queued on the semaphore.  The code might be correct as written, but it's
hard to reason about and it's not what was intended (otherwise the goto
out would have been unconditional).

Go for checking the active count - the alternative is not worth the
headache.

0d4993563b vhost: fix barrier pairing
According to memory-barriers.txt, an smp memory barrier in guest
should always be paired with an smp memory barrier in host,
and I quote "a lack of appropriate pairing is almost certainly an
error". In case of vhost, failure to flush out used index
update before looking at the interrupt disable flag
could result in missed interrupts, resulting in
networking hang under stress.

This might happen when flags read bypasses used index write.
So we see interrupts disabled and do not interrupt, at the
same time guest writes flags value to enable interrupt,
reads an old used index value, thinks that
used ring is empty and waits for interrupt.

Note: the barrier we pair with here is in
drivers/virtio/virtio_ring.c, function
vring_enable_cb.

e7b702b1a8 Inotify: undefined reference to `anon_inode_getfd'
Fix:

fs/built-in.o: In function `sys_inotify_init1':
summary.c:(.text+0x347a4): undefined reference to `anon_inode_getfd'

found by kautobuild with arms bcmring_defconfig, which ends up with
INOTIFY_USER enabled (through the 'default y') but leaves ANON_INODES
unset.  However, inotify_user.c uses anon_inode_getfd().
