602ed87ecd [PATCH] uml: fix pte bit collision
_PAGE_PROTNONE conflicts with the lowest bit of pgoff.  This causes all sorts
of weirdness when nonlinear mappings are used.

Took me a good half day to track this down.

Change prototypes for __chk_user_ptr and __chk_io_ptr to take const
void* instead of void*, so that code can pass "const void *" to them.

(Right now sparse does not warn about passing const void* to void*

and once sparse does check this, the changed prototypes will be
necessary.)

513daadd15 ide: use correct IDE error recovery
IDE error recovery is using IDLE IMMEDIATE if the drive is busy or has DRQ set.
This violates the ATA spec (can only send IDLE IMMEDIATE when drive is not
busy) and really hoses up some drives (modern drives will not be able to
recover using this error handling).  The correct thing to do is issue a SRST
followed by a SET FEATURES command.  This is what Western Digital recommends
for error recovery and what Western Digital says Windows does.  It also does
not violate the ATA spec as far as I can tell.

Bart:
* port the patch over the current tree
* undo the recalibration code removal
* send SET FEATURES command after checking for good drive status
* don't check whether the current request is of REQ_TYPE_ATA_{CMD,TASK}
  type because we need to send SET FEATURES before handling any requests
* some pre-ATA4 drives require INITIALIZE DEVICE PARAMETERS command before
  other commands (except IDENTIFY) so send SET FEATURES only if there are
  no pending drive->special requests
* update comments and patch description
* any bugs introduced by this patch are mine and not Suleiman's :-)

afbc1e994d [S390] Fix TCP/UDP pseudo header checksum computation.
git commit f994aae1bd changed the
function declaration of csum_tcpudp_nofold. Argument types were
changed from unsigned long to __be32 (unsigned int). Therefore we
lost the implicit type conversion that zeroed the upper half of the
registers that are used to pass parameters. Since the inline assembly
relied on this we ended up adding random values and wrong checksums
were created.
Showed only up on machines with more than 4GB since gcc produced code
where the registers that are used to pass 'saddr' and 'daddr' previously
contained addresses before calling this function.
Fix this by using 32 bit arithmetics and convert code to C, since gcc
produces better code than these hand-optimized versions.

f11e6659ce [IPV6]: Fix routing round-robin locking.
As per RFC2461, section 6.3.6, item #2, when no routers on the
matching list are known to be reachable or probably reachable we
do round robin on those available routes so that we make sure
to probe as many of them as possible to detect when one becomes
reachable faster.

Each routing table has a rwlock protecting the tree and the linked
list of routes at each leaf.  The round robin code executes during
lookup and thus with the rwlock taken as a reader.  A small local
spinlock tries to provide protection but this does not work at all
for two reasons:

1) The round-robin list manipulation, as coded, goes like this (with
   read lock held):

	walk routes finding head and tail

	spin_lock();
	rotate list using head and tail
	spin_unlock();

   While one thread is rotating the list, another thread can
   end up with stale values of head and tail and then proceed
   to corrupt the list when it gets the lock.  This ends up causing
   the OOPS in fib6_add() later onthat many people have been hitting.

2) All the other code paths that run with the rwlock held as
   a reader do not expect the list to change on them, they
   expect it to remain completely fixed while they hold the
   lock in that way.

So, simply stated, it is impossible to implement this correctly using
a manipulation of the list without violating the rwlock locking
semantics.

Reimplement using a per-fib6_node round-robin pointer.  This way we
don't need to manipulate the list at all, and since the round-robin
pointer can only ever point to real existing entries we don't need
to perform any locking on the changing of the round-robin pointer
itself.  We only need to reset the round-robin pointer to NULL when
the entry it is pointing to is removed.

The idea is from Thomas Graf and it is very similar to how this
was implemented before the advanced router selection code when in.

ecbb416939 [NET]: Fix neighbour destructor handling.
->neigh_destructor() is killed (not used), replaced with
->neigh_cleanup(), which is called when neighbor entry goes to dead
state. At this point everything is still valid: neigh->dev,
neigh->parms etc.

The device should guarantee that dead neighbor entries (neigh->dead !=
0) do not get private part initialized, otherwise nobody will cleanup
it.

I think this is enough for ipoib which is the only user of this thing.
Initialization private part of neighbor entries happens in ipib
start_xmit routine, which is not reached when device is down.  But it
would be better to add explicit test for neigh->dead in any case.

e1701c68c1 [NET]: Fix fib_rules compatibility breakage
Based upon a patch from Patrick McHardy.

The fib_rules netlink attribute policy introduced in 2.6.19 broke
userspace compatibilty. When specifying a rule with "from all"
or "to all", iproute adds a zero byte long netlink attribute,
but the policy requires all addresses to have a size equal to
sizeof(struct in_addr)/sizeof(struct in6_addr), resulting in a
validation error.

Check attribute length of FRA_SRC/FRA_DST in the generic framework
by letting the family specific rules implementation provide the
length of an address. Report an error if address length is non
zero but no address attribute is provided. Fix actual bug by
checking address length for non-zero instead of relying on
availability of attribute.

It has been reported by Julian Deng that configuring the pxa27x i2c SCL line as output generates a short negative pulse on it during the call to pxa_gpio_mode(GPIO117_I2CSCL_MD); as it first switches it to output and then configures it for the alternate function. The SCL line is in fact bidirectional and can also be configured as 117 | GPIO_ALT_FN_1_IN, in which case the pulse is not generated. This is exactly what this patch does.

6ea65ff79c [PATCH] i386: clear segment register padding in core dumps
The segment register slots in struct pt_regs are padded to 32 bits.
Some of these are stored with instructions like "pushl %es", which
leaves the high 16 bits as they were.  So the high bits of these
fields in struct pt_regs contain kernel stack garbage.  These bits are
ignored by everything and never leak to user space, except in core
dumps.  The user struct pt_regs is always at the base of the thread's
kernel stack and so it seems unlikely the information that leaks from
here is ever worthwhile so as to be a security concern, but I'm not
sure about that.  It has been this way for ages; userland consumers of
core dumps all mask off these high bits themselves.  So it is not urgent.

This change masks off the padding bits of the segment register slots
in core dumps.  ptrace already masks off these high bits, so this
makes the values in core dumps consistent with what ptrace would
report just before the process died.

As I read the processor manuals, the cs and ss values will always be
padded with zero bits rather than stack garbage.  But unlike "pushl %es",
this is not simple to test with a userland program.  So I added the two
instructions rather than wonder if they are really never necessary.

I think that x86_64 does not have this problem (for either 32-bit or
64-bit processes).  It only uses "mov" instructions from segment
registers, which zero-extend.

e585bef815 [PATCH] i386: add command line option "local_apic_timer_c2_ok"
It turned out that it is almost impossible to trust ACPI, BIOS & Co.
regarding the C states. This was the reason to switch the local apic
timer off in C2 state already. OTOH there are sane and well behaving
systems, which get punished by that decision.

Allow the user to confirm that the local apic timer is trustworthy in C2
state. This keeps the default behaviour on the safe side.

e3a55fd18d [PATCH] lockdep: lockdep_depth vs. debug_locks
lockdep found a bug during a run of workqueue function - this could be also
caused by a bug from other code running simultaneously.

lockdep really shouldn't be used when debug_locks == 0!

8da38d7bac [PATCH] FRV: fix unannotated variable declarations
Fix unannotated variable declarations.  Variables that have allocation
section annotations (such as __meminitdata) on their definitions must also
have them on their declarations as not doing so may affect the addressing
mode used by the compiler and may result in a linker error.

b4aea36b79 [POWERPC] Avoid hypervisor statistics calculation in real mode
kexec invokes plpar_hcall hypervisor call in real mode.  plpar_hcall
refers to per cpu variables for accounting hypervisor statistics.
These variables may not be in the RMO region, so accesses to them
in real mode may result in a data storage exception.

This fixes this problem by using a new plpar_hcall_raw function which
does not update the hypervisor call statistics.  Thanks to Anton for
suggesting this idea.

a3f5c338b9 [IA64] min_low_pfn and max_low_pfn calculation fix
We have seen bad_pte_print when testing crashdump on an SN machine in
recent 2.6.20 kernel.  There are tons of bad pte print (pfn < max_low_pfn)
reports when the crash kernel boots up, all those reported bad pages
are inside initmem range; That is because if the crash kernel code and
data happens to be at the beginning of the 1st node. build_node_maps in
discontig.c will bypass reserved regions with filter_rsvd_memory. Since
min_low_pfn is calculated in build_node_map, so in this case, min_low_pfn
will be greater than kernel code and data.

Because pages inside initmem are freed and reused later, we saw
pfn_valid check fail on those pages.

I think this theoretically happen on a normal kernel. When I check
min_low_pfn and max_low_pfn calculation in contig.c and discontig.c.
I found more issues than this.

1. min_low_pfn and max_low_pfn calculation is inconsistent between
contig.c and discontig.c,
min_low_pfn is calculated as the first page number of boot memmap in
contig.c (Why? Though this may work at the most of the time, I don't
think it is the right logic). It is calculated as the lowest physical
memory page number bypass reserved regions in discontig.c.
max_low_pfn is calculated include reserved regions in contig.c. It is
calculated exclude reserved regions in discontig.c.

2. If kernel code and data region is happen to be at the begin or the
end of physical memory, when min_low_pfn and max_low_pfn calculation is
bypassed kernel code and data, pages in initmem will report bad.

3. initrd is also in reserved regions, if it is at the begin or at the
end of physical memory, kernel will refuse to reuse the memory. Because
the virt_addr_valid check in free_initrd_mem.

So it is better to fix and clean up those issues.
Calculate min_low_pfn and max_low_pfn in a consistent way.

749bf9215e [SCTP]: Reset some transport and association variables on restart
If the association has been restarted, we need to reset the
transport congestion variables as well as accumulated error
counts and CACC variables.  If we do not, the association
will use the wrong values and may terminate prematurely.

This was found with a scenario where the peer restarted
the association when lksctp was in the last HB timeout for
its association.  The restart happened, but the error counts
have not been reset and when the timeout occurred, a newly
restarted association was terminated due to excessive
retransmits.

0b58a81146 [SCTP]: Clean up stale data during association restart
During association restart we may have stale data sitting
on the ULP queue waiting for ordering or reassembly.  This
data may cause severe problems if not cleaned up.  In particular
stale data pending ordering may cause problems with receive
window exhaustion if our peer has decided to restart the
association.
