d3ae33efb8 pata_netcell: LBA48 force identify bits correct
This matches Bartlomiej's patch for ide_pci_generic:
c339dfdd65

In the libata case netcell has its own mini driver. I suspect this fix is
actually only needed for some firmware revs but it does no harm either way.

12186be7d2 net_cls: fix unconfigured struct tcf_proto keeps chaining and avoid kernel panic when we use cls_cgroup
This patch fixes a bug which unconfigured struct tcf_proto keeps
chaining in tc_ctl_tfilter(), and avoids kernel panic in
cls_cgroup_classify() when we use cls_cgroup.

When we execute 'tc filter add', tcf_proto is allocated, initialized
by classifier's init(), and chained.  After it's chained,
tc_ctl_tfilter() calls classifier's change().  When classifier's
change() fails, tc_ctl_tfilter() does not free and keeps tcf_proto.

In addition, cls_cgroup is initialized in change() not in init().  It
accesses unconfigured struct tcf_proto which is chained before
change(), then hits Oops.

ea30e11970 e1000: add missing length check to e1000 receive routine
Patch to fix bad length checking in e1000.  E1000 by default does two
things:

1) Spans rx descriptors for packets that don't fit into 1 skb on recieve
2) Strips the crc from a frame by subtracting 4 bytes from the length prior to
doing an skb_put

Since the e1000 driver isn't written to support receiving packets that span
multiple rx buffers, it checks the End of Packet bit of every frame, and
discards it if its not set.  This places us in a situation where, if we have a
spanning packet, the first part is discarded, but the second part is not (since
it is the end of packet, and it passes the EOP bit test).  If the second part of
the frame is small (4 bytes or less), we subtract 4 from it to remove its crc,
underflow the length, and wind up in skb_over_panic, when we try to skb_put a
huge number of bytes into the skb.  This amounts to a remote DOS attack through
careful selection of frame size in relation to interface MTU.  The fix for this
is already in the e1000e driver, as well as the e1000 sourceforge driver, but no
one ever pushed it to e1000.  This is lifted straight from e1000e, and prevents
small frames from causing the underflow described above

5a9a8e32eb forcedeth: add phy_power_down parameter, leave phy powered up by default (v2)
Add a phy_power_down parameter to forcedeth: set to 1 to power down the
phy and disable the link when an interface goes down; set to 0 to always
leave the phy powered up.

The phy power state persists across reboots; Windows, some BIOSes, and
older versions of Linux don't bother to power up the phy again, forcing
users to remove all power to get the interface working (see
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13072).  Leaving the phy
powered on is the safest default behavior.  Users accustomed to seeing
the link state reflect the interface state and/or wanting to minimize
power consumption can set phy_power_down=1 if compatibility with other
OSes is not an issue.

e6da7c9fed xfs: fix overflow in xfs_growfs_data_private
In the case where growing a filesystem would leave the last AG
too small, the fixup code has an overflow in the calculation
of the new size with one fewer ag, because "nagcount" is a 32
bit number.  If the new filesystem has > 2^32 blocks in it
this causes a problem resulting in an EINVAL return from growfs:

1f23920dbf xfs: fix double unlock in xfs_swap_extents()
Regreesion from commit ef8f7fc, which rearranged the code in
xfs_swap_extents() leading to double unlock of xfs inode ilock.
That resulted in xfs_fsr deadlocking itself on platforms, which
don't handle double unlock of rw_semaphore nicely. It caused the
count go negative, which represents the write holder, without
really having one. ia64 is one of the platforms where deadlock
was easily reproduced and the fix was tested.

d315a0e09f crypto: hash - Fix handling of sg entry that crosses page boundary
A quirk that we've always supported is having an sg entry that's
bigger than a page, or more generally an sg entry that crosses
page boundaries.  Even though it would be better to explicitly have
to sg entries for this, we need to support it for the existing users,
in particular, IPsec.

The new ahash sg walking code did try to handle this, but there was
a bug where we didn't increment the page so kept on walking on the
first page over an dover again.

This patch fixes it.

the FPEXC.EX bit set but without the FPSCR.IXE bit being set like in the
VFP subarchitecture 1 or just the FPEXC.DEX bit like in VFP

(which needs to be emulated in software) will be restarted several times
(normally until a context switch disables the VFP). This patch ensures
that the VFP exception is treated as synchronous.

af607747de RealView: Allow access to the secure flash memory block on PB1176
This patch adds a Kconfig option for specifying whether Linux will only
be run in secure mode on the RealView PB1176 platform. Enabling it will
make the secure flash memory block (64MB @ 0x3c000000) available to
Linux.

c626e3f5ca [ARM] alternative copy_to_user: more precise fallback threshold
Previous size thresholds were guessed from various user space benchmarks
using a kernel with and without the alternative uaccess option.  This
is however not as precise as a kernel based test to measure the real
speed of each method.

This adds a simple test bench to show the time needed for each method.
With this, the optimal size treshold for the alternative implementation
can be determined with more confidence.  It appears that the optimal
threshold for both copy_to_user and clear_user is around 64 bytes. This
is not a surprise knowing that the memcpy and memset implementations
need at least 64 bytes to achieve maximum throughput.

One might suggest that such test be used to determine the optimal
threshold at run time instead, but results are near enough to 64 on
tested targets concerned by this alternative copy_to_user implementation,
so adding some overhead associated with a variable threshold is probably
not worth it for now.
