603c461250 [POWERPC] spufs: fix mismerge, making context signal{1,2} files readable again
The commit 8b6f50ef1d seems to have
been affected by a mismerge of a duplicate patch
(d054b36ffd) - both the
spufs_dir_contents and spufs_dir_nosched_contents have been given
write-only signal notification files.

This change reverts the spufs_dir_contents array to use the
readable signal notification file implementation.

6f4c618ddb SCTP : Add paramters validity check for ASCONF chunk
If ADDIP is enabled, when an ASCONF chunk is received with ASCONF
paramter length set to zero, this will cause infinite loop.
By the way, if an malformed ASCONF chunk is received, will cause
processing to access memory without verifying.

This is because of not check the validity of parameters in ASCONF chunk.
This patch fixed this.

3c77f961b5 SCTP: Discard OOTB packetes with bundled INIT early.
RFC 4460 and future RFC 4960 (2960-bis) specify that packets
with bundled INIT chunks need to be dropped.  We currenlty do
that only after processing any leading chunks.  For OOTB chunks,
since we already walk the entire packet, we should discard packets
with bundled INITs.

There are other chunks chunks that MUST NOT be bundled, but the spec
is silent on theire treatment.  Thus, we'll leave their teatment
alone for the moment.

ece25dfa09 SCTP: Clean up OOTB handling and fix infinite loop processing
While processing OOTB chunks as well as chunks with an invalid
length of 0, it was possible to SCTP to get wedged inside an
infinite loop because we didn't catch the condition correctly,
or didn't mark the packet for discard correctly.

Explicitely discard OOTB chunks, whether the result is a
SHUTDOWN COMPLETE or an ABORT.  We need to discard the OOTB
SHUTDOWN ACK to prevent bombing attackes since responsed

02c4e12c64 SCTP: Send ABORT chunk with correct tag in response to INIT ACK
When SCTP client received an INIT ACK chunk with missing mandatory
parameter such as "cookie parameter", it will send back a ABORT
with T-bit not set and verification tag is set to 0.
This is because before we accept this INIT ACK chunk, we do not know
the peer's tag.  This patch change to reflect vtag when responding to

When PCIX_IRQ_WOC is used, sil24 has an inherent race condition
between clearing IRQ pending and reading IRQ status.  If IRQ pending
is cleared after reading IRQ status, there's possibility of lost IRQ.
If IRQ pending is cleared before reading IRQ status, spurious IRQs
will occur.

sata_sil24 till now cleared IRQ pending after reading IRQ status thus
losing IRQs on machines where PCIX_IRQ_WOC was used.  Reverse the
order and ignore spurious IRQs if PCIX_IRQ_WOC.

78e1ca49c7 ACPI: hpet: ACPI Error (utglobal-0126): Unknown exception code: 0xFFFFFFF0
If hpet has been initialized before registering hpet driver, the callback
function of hpet_resources will return the status code of -EBUSY, which is
not defined in the ACPI exception table.  So when ACPI checks the status
code of callback function, it will report the unknown exception code.

So the status code in ACPI is used instead of the generic error code in the
ACPI callback function of hpet_resources.
For example: -EBUSY is replaced by AE_ALREADY_EXISTS
	     -EINVAL is replaced by AE_NO_MEMORY

474f819672 [POWERPC] Ensure FULL_REGS on exec
When PTRACE_O_TRACEEXEC is used, a ptrace call to fetch the registers at
the PTRACE_EVENT_EXEC stop (PTRACE_PEEKUSR) will oops in CHECK_FULL_REGS.
With recent versions, "gdb --args /bin/sh -c 'exec /bin/true'" and "run" at
the (gdb) prompt is sufficient to produce this.  I also have written an
isolated test case, see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=301791#c15.

This change fixes the problem by clearing the low bit of pt_regs.trap in
start_thread so that FULL_REGS is true again.  This is correct since all of
the GPRs that "full" refers to are cleared in start_thread.

e4d84909dd raid5: fix 2 bugs in ops_complete_biofill
1/ ops_complete_biofill tried to avoid calling handle_stripe since all the
state necessary to return read completions is available.  However the
process of determining whether more read requests are pending requires
locking the stripe (to block add_stripe_bio from updating dev->toead).
ops_complete_biofill can run in tasklet context, so rather than upgrading
all the stripe locks from spin_lock to spin_lock_bh this patch just
unconditionally reschedules handle_stripe after completing the read
request.

2/ ops_complete_biofill needlessly qualified processing R5_Wantfill with
dev->toread.  The result being that the 'biofill' pending bit is cleared
before handling the pending read-completions on dev->read.  R5_Wantfill can
be unconditionally handled because the 'biofill' pending bit prevents new
R5_Wantfill requests from being seen by ops_run_biofill and
ops_complete_biofill.

6e694ea33e IB/mlx4: Fix data corruption triggered by wrong headroom marking order
This is an addendum to commit 0e6e7416 ("IB/mlx4: Handle new FW
requirement for send request prefetching").  We also need to handle
prefetch marking properly for S/G segments, or else the HCA may end up
processing S/G segments that are not fully written and end up sending
the wrong data.  This can actually cause data corruption in practice,
especially on systems with relatively slow CPUs (where the HCA is more
likely to prefetch while the CPU is in the middle of writing a work
request into memory).

We write S/G segments in reverse order into the WQE, in order to
guarantee that the first dword of all cachelines containing S/G
segments is written last (overwriting the headroom invalidation
pattern).  The entire cacheline will thus contain valid data when the
invalidation pattern is overwritten.

b7e113dc9d clockevents: remove the suspend/resume workaround^Wthinko
In a desparate attempt to fix the suspend/resume problem on Andrews
VAIO I added a workaround which enforced the broadcast of the oneshot
timer on resume. This was actually resolving the problem on the VAIO
but was just a stupid workaround, which was not tackling the root
cause: the assignement of lower idle C-States in the ACPI processor_idle
code. The cpuidle patches, which utilize the dynamic tick feature and
go faster into deeper C-states exposed the problem again. The correct
solution is the previous patch, which prevents lower C-states across
the suspend/resume.

Remove the enforcement code, including the conditional broadcast timer
arming, which helped to pamper over the real problem for quite a time.
The oneshot broadcast flag for the cpu, which runs the resume code can
never be set at the time when this code is executed. It only gets set,
when the CPU is entering a lower idle C-State.

b04e7bdb98 ACPI: disable lower idle C-states across suspend/resume
device_suspend() calls ACPI suspend functions, which seems to have undesired
side effects on lower idle C-states. It took me some time to realize that
especially the VAIO BIOSes (both Andrews jinxed UP and my elfstruck SMP one)
show this effect. I'm quite sure that other bug reports against suspend/resume
about turning the system into a brick have the same root cause.

After fishing in the dark for quite some time, I realized that removing the ACPI
processor module before suspend (this removes the lower C-state functionality)
made the problem disappear. Interestingly enough the propability of having a
bricked box is influenced by various factors (interrupts, size of the ram image,
...). Even adding a bunch of printks in the wrong places made the problem go
away. The previous periodic tick implementation simply pampered over the
problem, which explains why the dyntick / clockevents changes made this more
prominent.

We avoid complex functionality during the boot process and we have to do the
same during suspend/resume. It is a similar scenario and equaly fragile.

Add suspend / resume functions to the ACPI processor code and disable the lower
idle C-states across suspend/resume. Fall back to the default idle
implementation (halt) instead.
