a6b93a9085 [SERIAL] Fix oops when removing suspended serial port
A serial card might have been removed when the system is resumed.
This results in a suspended port being shut down, which results in
the ports shutdown method being called twice in a row.  This causes
BUGs.  Avoid this by tracking the suspended state separately from
the initialised state.

bcf5111a58 [SERIAL] Remove wrong asm/serial.h inclusions
asm/serial.h is supposed to contain the definitions for the architecture
specific 8250 ports for the 8250 driver.  It may also define BASE_BAUD,
but this is the base baud for the architecture specific ports _only_.

Therefore, nothing other than the 8250 driver should be including this
header file.  In order to move towards this goal, here is a patch which
removes some of the more obvious incorrect includes of the file.

255341c6fd [SERIAL] OMAP1510 serial fix for 115200 baud
The patch below is necessary for 115200 baud on an OMAP1510 internal UART.
It's been in the linux-omap tree for some time and with it applied to a
vanilla Linus git tree the serial console on the Amstrad Delta (which is
OMAP1510 based and whose initial bootloader runs at 115200) works fine (it
doesn't without it).

f236218b72 [SCTP]: Do not timestamp every SCTP packet.
We only need the timestamp on COOKIE-ECHO chunks, so instead of always
timestamping every SCTP packet, let common code timestamp if the socket
option is set.  For COOKIE-ECHO, simply get the time of day if we don't
have a timestamp.  This introduces a small possibility that the cookie
may be considered expired, but it will be renegotiated.

Currently if the sender is sending small messages, it can cause a receiver

is still open and results in packet drops and retransmissions. Including
a overhead while updating the sender's view of peer receive window will

f9317a40c4 [BNX2]: Disable MSI on 5706 if AMD 8132 bridge is present.
MSI is defined to be 32-bit write.  The 5706 does 64-bit MSI writes
with byte enables disabled on the unused 32-bit word.  This is legal
but causes problems on the AMD 8132 which will eventually stop
responding after a while.

Without this patch, the MSI test done by the driver during open will
pass, but MSI will eventually stop working after a few MSIs are
written by the device.

AMD believes this incompatibility is unique to the 5706, and
prefers to locally disable MSI rather than globally disabling it
using pci_msi_quirk.

Update version to 1.4.45.

181b648036 [PATCH] cpuset: fix obscure attach_task vs exiting race
Fix obscure race condition in kernel/cpuset.c attach_task() code.

There is basically zero chance of anyone accidentally being harmed by this
race.

It requires a special 'micro-stress' load and a special timing loop hacks
in the kernel to hit in less than an hour, and even then you'd have to hit
it hundreds or thousands of times, followed by some unusual and senseless
cpuset configuration requests, including removing the top cpuset, to cause
any visibly harm affects.

One could, with perhaps a few days or weeks of such effort, get the
reference count on the top cpuset below zero, and manage to crash the
kernel by asking to remove the top cpuset.

I found it by code inspection.

The race was introduced when 'the_top_cpuset_hack' was introduced, and one
piece of code was not updated.  An old check for a possibly null task
cpuset pointer needed to be changed to a check for a task marked
PF_EXITING.  The pointer can't be null anymore, thanks to
the_top_cpuset_hack (documented in kernel/cpuset.c).  But the task could
have gone into PF_EXITING state after it was found in the task_list scan.

If a task is PF_EXITING in this code, it is possible that its task->cpuset
pointer is pointing to the top cpuset due to the_top_cpuset_hack, rather
than because the top_cpuset was that tasks last valid cpuset.  In that
case, the wrong cpuset reference counter would be decremented.

The fix is trivial.  Instead of failing the system call if the tasks cpuset
pointer is null here, fail it if the task is in PF_EXITING state.

The code for 'the_top_cpuset_hack' that changes an exiting tasks cpuset to
the top_cpuset is done without locking, so could happen at anytime.  But it
is done during the exit handling, after the PF_EXITING flag is set.  So if
we verify that a task is still not PF_EXITING after we copy out its cpuset
pointer (into 'oldcs', below), we know that 'oldcs' is not one of these
hack references to the top_cpuset.

after much debugging it turned out to be caused by accidental chain-hash
key collisions.  The current hash is:

 #define iterate_chain_key(key1, key2) \
	(((key1) << MAX_LOCKDEP_KEYS_BITS/2) ^ \
	((key1) >> (64-MAX_LOCKDEP_KEYS_BITS/2)) ^ \
 	(key2))

where MAX_LOCKDEP_KEYS_BITS is 11.  This hash is pretty good as it will
shift by 5 bits in every iteration, where every new ID 'mixed' into the
hash would have up to 11 bits.  But because there was a 6 bits overlap
between subsequent IDs and their high bits tended to be similar, there was
a chance for accidental chain-hash collision for a low number of locks
held.

the solution is to shift by 11 bits:

 #define iterate_chain_key(key1, key2) \
	(((key1) << MAX_LOCKDEP_KEYS_BITS) ^ \
	((key1) >> (64-MAX_LOCKDEP_KEYS_BITS)) ^ \
 	(key2))

This keeps the hash perfect up to 5 locks held, but even above that the
hash is still good because 11 bits is a relative prime to the total 64
bits, so a complete match will only occur after 64 held locks (which doesnt
happen in Linux).  Even after 5 locks held, entropy of the 5 IDs mixed into
the hash is already good enough so that overlap doesnt generate a colliding
hash ID.

with this change the false positives went away.

632dd2053a [PATCH] Kcore elf note namesz field fix
o As per ELF specifications, it looks like that elf note "namesz" field
  contains the length of "name" including the size of null character.  And
  currently we are filling "namesz" without taking into the consideration
  the null character size.

o Kexec-tools performs this check deligently hence I ran into the issue
  while trying to open /proc/kcore in kexec-tools for some info.

eb84a20e9e [PATCH] audit/accounting: tty locking
Add tty locking around the audit and accounting code.

The whole current->signal-> locking is all deeply strange but it's for
someone else to sort out.  Add rather than replace the lock for acct.c

5f412b2424 [PATCH] Fix locking for tty drivers when doing urgent characters
If you send a priority character (as is done for flow control) then the tty
driver can either have its own method for "jumping the queue" or the characrer
can be queued normally.  In the latter case we call the write method but
without the atomic_write_lock taken elsewhere.

Make this consistent.  Note that the send_xchar method if implemented remains
outside of the lock as it can jump ahead of a current write so must not be
locked out by it.
