This is a fix for the following crash observed in 2.6.29-rc3:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/1/29/150

On ARM it doesn't make sense to trace a naked function because then
mcount is called without stack and frame pointer being set up and there
is no chance to restore the lr register to the value before mcount was
called.

6074d5b0a3 percpu: more flexibility for @dyn_size of pcpu_setup_first_chunk()
Impact: cleanup, more flexibility for first chunk init

Non-negative @dyn_size used to be allowed iff @unit_size wasn't auto.
This restriction stemmed from implementation detail and made things a
bit less intuitive.  This patch allows @dyn_size to be specified
regardless of @unit_size and swaps the positions of @dyn_size and
@unit_size so that the parameter order makes more sense (static,
reserved and dyn sizes followed by enclosing unit_size).

While at it, add @unit_size >= PCPU_MIN_UNIT_SIZE sanity check.

129f8ae9b1 Revert "[CPUFREQ] Disable sysfs ui for p4-clockmod."
This reverts commit e088e4c9cd.

Removing the sysfs interface for p4-clockmod was flagged as a
regression in bug 12826.

Course of action:
 - Find out the remaining causes of overheating, and fix them
   if possible. ACPI should be doing the right thing automatically.
   If it isn't, we need to fix that.
 - mark p4-clockmod ui as deprecated
 - try again with the removal in six months.

It's not really feasible to printk about the deprecation, because
it needs to happen at all the sysfs entry points, which means adding
a lot of strcmp("p4-clockmod".. calls to the core, which.. bleuch.

6b19b0c240 x86, percpu: setup reserved percpu area for x86_64
Impact: fix relocation overflow during module load

x86_64 uses 32bit relocations for symbol access and static percpu
symbols whether in core or modules must be inside 2GB of the percpu
segement base which the dynamic percpu allocator doesn't guarantee.
This patch makes x86_64 reserve PERCPU_MODULE_RESERVE bytes in the
first chunk so that module percpu areas are always allocated from the
first chunk which is always inside the relocatable range.

This problem exists for any percpu allocator but is easily triggered
when using the embedding allocator because the second chunk is located
beyond 2GB on it.

This patch also changes the meaning of PERCPU_DYNAMIC_RESERVE such
that it only indicates the size of the area to reserve for dynamic
allocation as static and dynamic areas can be separate.  New
PERCPU_DYNAMIC_RESERVED is increased by 4k for both 32 and 64bits as
the reserved area separation eats away some allocatable space and
having slightly more headroom (currently between 4 and 8k after
minimal boot sans module area) makes sense for common case
performance.

x86_32 can address anywhere from anywhere and doesn't need reserving.

Mike Galbraith first reported the problem first and bisected it to the
embedding percpu allocator commit.

edcb463997 percpu, module: implement reserved allocation and use it for module percpu variables
Impact: add reserved allocation functionality and use it for module
	percpu variables

This patch implements reserved allocation from the first chunk.  When
setting up the first chunk, arch can ask to set aside certain number
of bytes right after the core static area which is available only
through a separate reserved allocator.  This will be used primarily
for module static percpu variables on architectures with limited
relocation range to ensure that the module perpcu symbols are inside
the relocatable range.

If reserved area is requested, the first chunk becomes reserved and
isn't available for regular allocation.  If the first chunk also
includes piggy-back dynamic allocation area, a separate chunk mapping
the same region is created to serve dynamic allocation.  The first one
is called static first chunk and the second dynamic first chunk.
Although they share the page map, their different area map
initializations guarantee they serve disjoint areas according to their
purposes.

If arch doesn't setup reserved area, reserved allocation is handled
like any other allocation.

cafe8816b2 percpu: use negative for auto for pcpu_setup_first_chunk() arguments
Impact: argument semantic cleanup

In pcpu_setup_first_chunk(), zero @unit_size and @dyn_size meant
auto-sizing.  It's okay for @unit_size as 0 doesn't make sense but 0
dynamic reserve size is valid.  Alos, if arch @dyn_size is calculated
from other parameters, it might end up passing in 0 @dyn_size and
malfunction when the size is automatically adjusted.

This patch makes both @unit_size and @dyn_size ssize_t and use -1 for
auto sizing.

              the _same_ one you passed into the pci_map_sg call,

e7d3ef13d5 libata: change drive ready wait after hard reset to 5s
This fixes problems during resume with drives that take longer than 1s to
be ready.  The ATA-6 spec appears to allow 5 seconds for a drive to be
ready.

On one affected system, this patch changes "PM: resume devices took..."
message from 17 seconds to 4 seconds, and gets rid of a lot of ugly
timeout/error messages.

Without this patch, the libata code moves on after 1s, tries to send a
soft reset (which the drive doesn't see because it isn't ready) which also
times out, then an IDENTIFY command is sent to the drive which times out,
and finally the error handler will try to send another hard reset which
will finally get things working.

9d40bbda59 vlan: Fix vlan-in-vlan crashes.
As analyzed by Patrick McHardy, vlan needs to reset it's
netdev_ops pointer in it's ->init() function but this
leaves the compat method pointers stale.

Add a netdev_resync_ops() and call it from the vlan code.

Any other driver which changes ->netdev_ops after register_netdevice()
will need to call this new function after doing so too.

With help from Patrick McHardy.

0c5c2d3089 neigh: Allow for user space users of the neighbour table
Currently it is possible to do just about everything with the arp table
from user space except treat an entry like you are using it.  To that end
implement and a flag NTF_USE that when set in a netwlink update request
treats the neighbour table entry like the kernel does on the output path.

This allows user space applications to share the kernel's arp cache.

a1d2f09544 crypto: compress - Add pcomp interface
The current "comp" crypto interface supports one-shot (de)compression only,
i.e. the whole data buffer to be (de)compressed must be passed at once, and
the whole (de)compressed data buffer will be received at once.
In several use-cases (e.g. compressed file systems that store files in big
compressed blocks), this workflow is not suitable.
Furthermore, the "comp" type doesn't provide for the configuration of
(de)compression parameters, and always allocates workspace memory for both
compression and decompression, which may waste memory.

To solve this, add a "pcomp" partial (de)compression interface that provides
the following operations:
  - crypto_compress_{init,update,final}() for compression,
  - crypto_decompress_{init,update,final}() for decompression,
  - crypto_{,de}compress_setup(), to configure (de)compression parameters
    (incl. allocating workspace memory).

The (de)compression methods take a struct comp_request, which was mimicked
after the z_stream object in zlib, and contains buffer pointer and length
pairs for input and output.

The setup methods take an opaque parameter pointer and length pair. Parameters
are supposed to be encoded using netlink attributes, whose meanings depend on
the actual (name of the) (de)compression algorithm.

c747583d19 wimax/i2400m: implement RX reorder support
Allow the device to give the driver RX data with reorder information.

When that is done, the device will indicate the driver if a packet has
to be held in a (sorted) queue. It will also tell the driver when held
packets have to be released to the OS.

This is done to improve the WiMAX-protocol level retransmission
support when missing frames are detected.

The code docs provide details about the implementation.

In general, this just hooks into the RX path in rx.c; if a packet with
the reorder bit in the RX header is detected, the reorder information
in the header is extracted and one of the four main reorder operations
are executed. In one case (queue) no packet will be delivered to the
networking stack, just queued, whereas in the others (reset, update_ws
and queue_update_ws), queued packet might be delivered depending on
the window start for the specific queue.

The modifications to files other than rx.c are:

- control.c: during device initialization, enable reordering support
  if the rx_reorder_disabled module parameter is not enabled

- driver.c: expose a rx_reorder_disable module parameter and call
  i2400m_rx_setup/release() to initialize/shutdown RX reorder
  support.

- i2400m.h: introduce members in 'struct i2400m' needed for
  implementing reorder support.

- linux/i2400m.h: introduce TLVs, commands and constant definitions
  related to RX reorder

Last but not least, the rx reorder code includes an small circular log
where the last N reorder operations are recorded to be displayed in
case of inconsistency. Otherwise diagnosing issues would be almost
impossible.

fd5c565c0c wimax/i2400m: support extended data RX protocol (no need to reallocate skbs)
Newer i2400m firmwares (>= v1.4) extend the data RX protocol so that
each packet has a 16 byte header. This header is mainly used to
implement host reordeing (which is addressed in later commits).

However, this header also allows us to overwrite it (once data has
been extracted) with an Ethernet header and deliver to the networking
stack without having to reallocate the skb (as it happened in fw <=
v1.3) to make room for it.

- control.c: indicate the device [dev_initialize()] that the driver
  wants to use the extended data RX protocol. Also involves adding the
  definition of the needed data types in include/linux/wimax/i2400m.h.

- rx.c: handle the new payload type for the extended RX data
  protocol. Prepares the skb for delivery to
  netdev.c:i2400m_net_erx().

- netdev.c: Introduce i2400m_net_erx() that adds the fake ethernet
  address to a prepared skb and delivers it to the networking
  stack.

- cleanup: in most instances in rx.c, the variable 'single' was
  renamed to 'single_last' for it better conveys its meaning.

8987691a4a wimax/i2400m: allow control of the base-station idle mode timeout
For power saving reasons, WiMAX links can be put in idle mode while
connected after a certain time of the link not being used for tx or
rx. In this mode, the device pages the base-station regularly and when
data is ready to be transmitted, the link is revived.

This patch allows the user to control the time the device has to be
idle before it decides to go to idle mode from a sysfs
interace.

It also updates the initialization code to acknowledge the module
variable 'idle_mode_disabled' when the firmware is a newer version
(upcoming 1.4 vs 2.6.29's v1.3).

The method for setting the idle mode timeout in the older firmwares is
much more limited and can be only done at initialization time. Thus,
the sysfs file will return -ENOSYS on older ones.

f180053694 x86, mm: dont use non-temporal stores in pagecache accesses
Impact: standardize IO on cached ops

On modern CPUs it is almost always a bad idea to use non-temporal stores,
as the regression in this commit has shown it:

  30d697f: x86: fix performance regression in write() syscall

The kernel simply has no good information about whether using non-temporal
stores is a good idea or not - and trying to add heuristics only increases
complexity and inserts fragility.

The regression on cached write()s took very long to be found - over two
years. So dont take any chances and let the hardware decide how it makes
use of its caches.

The only exception is drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem.c: there were we are
absolutely sure that another entity (the GPU) will pick up the dirty
data immediately and that the CPU will not touch that data before the
GPU will.

Also, keep the _nocache() primitives to make it easier for people to
experiment with these details. There may be more clear-cut cases where
non-cached copies can be used, outside of filemap.c.

bdaa6e8062 sh: multiple vectors per irq - base
Instead of keeping the single vector -> single linux irq mapping
we extend the intc code to support merging of vectors to a single
linux irq. This helps processors such as sh7750, sh7780 and sh7785
which have more vectors than masking ability. With this patch in
place we can modify the intc tables to use one irq per maskable
irq source. Please note the following:

 - If multiple vectors share the same enum then only the
   first vector will be available as a linux irq.

 - Drivers may need to be rewritten to get pending irq
   source from the hardware block instead of irq number.

This patch together with the sh7785 specific intc tables solves
DMA controller irq issues related to buggy interrupt masking.

a682604838 rcu: Teach RCU that idle task is not quiscent state at boot
This patch fixes a bug located by Vegard Nossum with the aid of
kmemcheck, updated based on review comments from Nick Piggin,
Ingo Molnar, and Andrew Morton.  And cleans up the variable-name
and function-name language.  ;-)

The boot CPU runs in the context of its idle thread during boot-up.
During this time, idle_cpu(0) will always return nonzero, which will
fool Classic and Hierarchical RCU into deciding that a large chunk of
the boot-up sequence is a big long quiescent state.  This in turn causes
RCU to prematurely end grace periods during this time.

This patch changes the rcutree.c and rcuclassic.c rcu_check_callbacks()
function to ignore the idle task as a quiescent state until the
system has started up the scheduler in rest_init(), introducing a
new non-API function rcu_idle_now_means_idle() to inform RCU of this
transition.  RCU maintains an internal rcu_idle_cpu_truthful variable
to track this state, which is then used by rcu_check_callback() to
determine if it should believe idle_cpu().

Because this patch has the effect of disallowing RCU grace periods
during long stretches of the boot-up sequence, this patch also introduces
Josh Triplett's UP-only optimization that makes synchronize_rcu() be a
no-op if num_online_cpus() returns 1.  This allows boot-time code that
calls synchronize_rcu() to proceed normally.  Note, however, that RCU
callbacks registered by call_rcu() will likely queue up until later in
the boot sequence.  Although rcuclassic and rcutree can also use this
same optimization after boot completes, rcupreempt must restrict its
use of this optimization to the portion of the boot sequence before the
scheduler starts up, given that an rcupreempt RCU read-side critical
section may be preeempted.

In addition, this patch takes Nick Piggin's suggestion to make the
system_state global variable be __read_mostly.

Changes since v4:

o	Changes the name of the introduced function and variable to
	be less emotional.  ;-)

Changes since v3:

o	WARN_ON(nr_context_switches() > 0) to verify that RCU
	switches out of boot-time mode before the first context
	switch, as suggested by Nick Piggin.

Changes since v2:

o	Created rcu_blocking_is_gp() internal-to-RCU API that
	determines whether a call to synchronize_rcu() is itself
	a grace period.

o	The definition of rcu_blocking_is_gp() for rcuclassic and
	rcutree checks to see if but a single CPU is online.

o	The definition of rcu_blocking_is_gp() for rcupreempt
	checks to see both if but a single CPU is online and if
	the system is still in early boot.

	This allows rcupreempt to again work correctly if running
	on a single CPU after booting is complete.

o	Added check to rcupreempt's synchronize_sched() for there
	being but one online CPU.

Tested all three variants both SMP and !SMP, booted fine, passed a short
rcutorture test on both x86 and Power.

1ce85fe402 netlink: change nlmsg_notify() return value logic
This patch changes the return value of nlmsg_notify() as follows:

If NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR is set by any of the listeners and
an error in the delivery happened, return the broadcast error;
else if there are no listeners apart from the socket that
requested a change with the echo flag, return the result of the
unicast notification. Thus, with this patch, the unicast
notification is handled in the same way of a broadcast listener
that has set the NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR socket flag.

This patch is useful in case that the caller of nlmsg_notify()
wants to know the result of the delivery of a netlink notification
(including the broadcast delivery) and take any action in case
that the delivery failed. For example, ctnetlink can drop packets
if the event delivery failed to provide reliable logging and
state-synchronization at the cost of dropping packets.

This patch also modifies the rtnetlink code to ignore the return
value of rtnl_notify() in all callers. The function rtnl_notify()
(before this patch) returned the error of the unicast notification
which makes rtnl_set_sk_err() reports errors to all listeners. This
is not of any help since the origin of the change (the socket that
requested the echoing) notices the ENOBUFS error if the notification
fails and should resync itself.

The unit in which user-space can set the bus timeout value is jiffies
for historical reasons (back when HZ was always 100.) This is however
not good because user-space doesn't know how long a jiffy lasts. The
timeout value should instead be set in a fixed time unit. Given the
original value of HZ, this unit should be 10 ms, for compatibility.

8d408b4be3 percpu: give more latitude to arch specific first chunk initialization
Impact: more latitude for first percpu chunk allocation

The first percpu chunk serves the kernel static percpu area and may or
may not contain extra room for further dynamic allocation.
Initialization of the first chunk needs to be done before normal
memory allocation service is up, so it has its own init path -
pcpu_setup_static().

It seems archs need more latitude while initializing the first chunk
for example to take advantage of large page mapping.  This patch makes
the following changes to allow this.

* Define PERCPU_DYNAMIC_RESERVE to give arch hint about how much space
  to reserve in the first chunk for further dynamic allocation.

* Rename pcpu_setup_static() to pcpu_setup_first_chunk().

* Make pcpu_setup_first_chunk() much more flexible by fetching page
  pointer by callback and adding optional @unit_size, @free_size and
  @base_addr arguments which allow archs to selectively part of chunk
  initialization to their likings.

c132937556 bootmem: clean up arch-specific bootmem wrapping
Impact: cleaner and consistent bootmem wrapping

By setting CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_BOOTMEM_NODE, archs can define
arch-specific wrappers for bootmem allocation.  However, this is done
a bit strangely in that only the high level convenience macros can be
changed while lower level, but still exported, interface functions
can't be wrapped.  This not only is messy but also leads to strange
situation where alloc_bootmem() does what the arch wants it to do but
the equivalent __alloc_bootmem() call doesn't although they should be
able to be used interchangeably.

This patch updates bootmem such that archs can override / wrap the
backend function - alloc_bootmem_core() instead of the highlevel
interface functions to allow simpler and consistent wrapping.  Also,
HAVE_ARCH_BOOTMEM_NODE is renamed to HAVE_ARCH_BOOTMEM.

9c3c133b1e hwrng: timeriomem - New driver
Some hardware platforms, the TS-7800[1] is one for example, can
supply the kernel with an entropy source, albeit a slow one for
TS-7800 users, by just reading a particular IO address.  This
source must not be read above a certain rate otherwise the quality
suffers.

The driver is then hooked into by calling
platform_device_(register|add|del) passing a structure similar to:
------

        .address        = (u32 *__iomem) TS_RNG,
        .period         = 1000000, /* one second */
};

        .name           = "timeriomem_rng",
        .id             = -1,

b6adea334c 8250: fix boot hang with serial console when using with Serial Over Lan port
Intel 8257x Ethernet boards have a feature called Serial Over Lan.

This feature works by emulating a serial port, and it is detected by
kernel as a normal 8250 port.  However, this emulation is not perfect, as
also noticed on changeset 7500b1f602.

Before this patch, the kernel were trying to check if the serial TX is
capable of work using IRQ's.

This were done with a code similar this:

        serial_outp(up, UART_IER, UART_IER_THRI);
        lsr = serial_in(up, UART_LSR);
        iir = serial_in(up, UART_IIR);
        serial_outp(up, UART_IER, 0);

        if (lsr & UART_LSR_TEMT && iir & UART_IIR_NO_INT)
		up->bugs |= UART_BUG_TXEN;

This works fine for other 8250 ports, but, on 8250-emulated SoL port, the
chip is a little lazy to down UART_IIR_NO_INT at UART_IIR register.

Due to that, UART_BUG_TXEN is sometimes enabled.  However, as TX IRQ keeps
working, and the TX polling is now enabled, the driver miss-interprets the
IRQ received later, hanging up the machine until a key is pressed at the
serial console.

This is the 6 version of this patch.  Previous versions were trying to
introduce a large enough delay between serial_outp and serial_in(up,
UART_IIR), but not taking forever.  However, the needed delay couldn't be
safely determined.

At the experimental tests, a delay of 1us solves most of the cases, but
still hangs sometimes.  Increasing the delay to 5us was better, but still
doesn't solve.  A very high delay of 50 ms seemed to work every time.

However, poking around with delays and pray for it to be enough doesn't
seem to be a good approach, even for a quirk.

So, instead of playing with random large arbitrary delays, let's just
disable UART_BUG_TXEN for all SoL ports.

3ef0e5ba46 slab: introduce kzfree()
kzfree() is a wrapper for kfree() that additionally zeroes the underlying
memory before releasing it to the slab allocator.

Currently there is code which memset()s the memory region of an object
before releasing it back to the slab allocator to make sure
security-sensitive data are really zeroed out after use.

These callsites can then just use kzfree() which saves some code, makes
users greppable and allows for a stupid destructor that isn't necessarily
aware of the actual object size.

51735a7ca6 SLUB: Do not pass 8k objects through to the page allocator
Increase the maximum object size in SLUB so that 8k objects are not
passed through to the page allocator anymore. The network stack uses 8k
objects for performance critical operations.

The patch is motivated by a SLAB vs. SLUB regression in the netperf
benchmark. The problem is that the kfree(skb->head) call in
skb_release_data() that is subject to page allocator pass-through as the
size passed to __alloc_skb() is larger than 4 KB in this test.

As explained by Yanmin Zhang:

  I use 2.6.29-rc2 kernel to run netperf UDP-U-4k CPU_NUM client/server
  pair loopback testing on x86-64 machines. Comparing with SLUB, SLAB's
  result is about 2.3 times of SLUB's. After applying the reverting patch,
  the result difference between SLUB and SLAB becomes 1% which we might
  consider as fluctuation.

784544739a netfilter: iptables: lock free counters
The reader/writer lock in ip_tables is acquired in the critical path of
processing packets and is one of the reasons just loading iptables can cause
a 20% performance loss. The rwlock serves two functions:

1) it prevents changes to table state (xt_replace) while table is in use.
   This is now handled by doing rcu on the xt_table. When table is
   replaced, the new table(s) are put in and the old one table(s) are freed
   after RCU period.

2) it provides synchronization when accesing the counter values.
   This is now handled by swapping in new table_info entries for each cpu
   then summing the old values, and putting the result back onto one
   cpu.  On a busy system it may cause sampling to occur at different
   times on each cpu, but no packet/byte counts are lost in the process.

be0c22a46c netlink: add NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR socket option
This patch adds NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR which is a netlink
socket option that the listener can set to make netlink_broadcast()
return errors in the delivery to the caller. This option is useful
if the caller of netlink_broadcast() do something with the result
of the message delivery, like in ctnetlink where it drops a network
packet if the event delivery failed, this is used to enable reliable
logging and state-synchronization. If this socket option is not set,
netlink_broadcast() only reports ESRCH errors and silently ignore
ENOBUFS errors, which is what most netlink_broadcast() callers
should do.

This socket option is based on a suggestion from Patrick McHardy.
Patrick McHardy can exchange this patch for a beer from me ;).

f0aa661790 vmalloc: implement vm_area_register_early()
Impact: allow multiple early vm areas

There are places where kernel VM area needs to be allocated before
vmalloc is initialized.  This is done by allocating static vm_struct,
initializing several fields and linking it to vmlist and later vmalloc
initialization picking up these from vmlist.  This is currently done
manually and if there's more than one such areas, there's no defined
way to arbitrate who gets which address.

This patch implements vm_area_register_early(), which takes vm_area
struct with flags and size initialized, assigns address to it and puts
it on the vmlist.  This way, multiple early vm areas can determine
which addresses they should use.  The only current user - alpha mm
init - is converted to use it.

f2dbcfa738 mm: clean up for early_pfn_to_nid()
What's happening is that the assertion in mm/page_alloc.c:move_freepages()
is triggering:

	BUG_ON(page_zone(start_page) != page_zone(end_page));

Once I knew this is what was happening, I added some annotations:

	if (unlikely(page_zone(start_page) != page_zone(end_page))) {
		printk(KERN_ERR "move_freepages: Bogus zones: "
		       "start_page[%p] end_page[%p] zone[%p]\n",
		       start_page, end_page, zone);
		printk(KERN_ERR "move_freepages: "
		       "start_zone[%p] end_zone[%p]\n",
		       page_zone(start_page), page_zone(end_page));
		printk(KERN_ERR "move_freepages: "
		       "start_pfn[0x%lx] end_pfn[0x%lx]\n",
		       page_to_pfn(start_page), page_to_pfn(end_page));
		printk(KERN_ERR "move_freepages: "
		       "start_nid[%d] end_nid[%d]\n",
		       page_to_nid(start_page), page_to_nid(end_page));
 ...

And here's what I got:

	move_freepages: Bogus zones: start_page[2207d0000] end_page[2207dffc0] zone[fffff8103effcb00]
	move_freepages: start_zone[fffff8103effcb00] end_zone[fffff8003fffeb00]
	move_freepages: start_pfn[0x81f600] end_pfn[0x81f7ff]
	move_freepages: start_nid[1] end_nid[0]

My memory layout on this box is:

[    0.000000] Zone PFN ranges:
[    0.000000]   Normal   0x00000000 -> 0x0081ff5d
[    0.000000] Movable zone start PFN for each node
[    0.000000] early_node_map[8] active PFN ranges
[    0.000000]     0: 0x00000000 -> 0x00020000
[    0.000000]     1: 0x00800000 -> 0x0081f7ff
[    0.000000]     1: 0x0081f800 -> 0x0081fe50
[    0.000000]     1: 0x0081fed1 -> 0x0081fed8
[    0.000000]     1: 0x0081feda -> 0x0081fedb
[    0.000000]     1: 0x0081fedd -> 0x0081fee5
[    0.000000]     1: 0x0081fee7 -> 0x0081ff51
[    0.000000]     1: 0x0081ff59 -> 0x0081ff5d

So it's a block move in that 0x81f600-->0x81f7ff region which triggers
the problem.

This patch:

Declaration of early_pfn_to_nid() is scattered over per-arch include
files, and it seems it's complicated to know when the declaration is used.
 I think it makes fix-for-memmap-init not easy.

This patch moves all declaration to include/linux/mm.h

After this,
  if !CONFIG_NODES_POPULATES_NODE_MAP && !CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_EARLY_PFN_TO_NID
     -> Use static definition in include/linux/mm.h
  else if !CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_EARLY_PFN_TO_NID
     -> Use generic definition in mm/page_alloc.c
  else
     -> per-arch back end function will be called.

1cf6e7d83b mm: task dirty accounting fix
YAMAMOTO-san noticed that task_dirty_inc doesn't seem to be called properly for
cases where set_page_dirty is not used to dirty a page (eg. mark_buffer_dirty).

Additionally, there is some inconsistency about when task_dirty_inc is
called.  It is used for dirty balancing, however it even gets called for
__set_page_dirty_no_writeback.

So rather than increment it in a set_page_dirty wrapper, move it down to
exactly where the dirty page accounting stats are incremented.

8f19d47293 seq_file: properly cope with pread
Currently seq_read assumes that the offset passed to it is always the
offset it passed to user space.  In the case pread this assumption is
broken and we do the wrong thing when presented with pread.

To solve this I introduce an offset cache inside of struct seq_file so we
know where our logical file position is.  Then in seq_read if we try to
read from another offset we reset our data structures and attempt to go to
the offset user space wanted.

c296861291 vmalloc: add __get_vm_area_caller()
We have get_vm_area_caller() and __get_vm_area() but not
__get_vm_area_caller()

On powerpc, I use __get_vm_area() to separate the ranges of addresses
given to vmalloc vs.  ioremap (various good reasons for that) so in order
to be able to implement the new caller tracking in /proc/vmallocinfo, I
need a "_caller" variant of it.

(akpm: needed for ongoing powerpc development, so merge it early)

74019224ac timers: add mod_timer_pending()
Impact: new timer API

Based on an idea from Martin Josefsson with the help of
Patrick McHardy and Stephen Hemminger:

introduce the mod_timer_pending() API which is a mod_timer()
offspring that is an invariant on already removed timers.

(regular mod_timer() re-activates non-pending timers.)

This is useful for the networking code in that it can
allow unserialized mod_timer_pending() timer-forwarding
calls, but a single del_timer*() will stop the timer
from being reactivated again.

Also while at it:

- optimize the regular mod_timer() path some more, the
  timer-stat and a debug check was needlessly duplicated
  in __mod_timer().

- make the exports come straight after the function, as
  most other exports in timer.c already did.

- eliminate __mod_timer() as an external API, change the
  users to mod_timer().

The regular mod_timer() code path is not impacted
significantly, due to inlining optimizations and due to
the simplifications.

In NFLOG the per-rule qthreshold should overrides per-instance only
it is set. With current code, the per-rule qthreshold is 1 if not set
and it overrides the per-instance qthreshold.

This patch modifies the default xt_NFLOG threshold from 1 to
0. Thus a value of 0 means there is no per-rule setting and the instance
parameter has to apply.

3f683d6175 crypto: api - Fix crypto_alloc_tfm/create_create_tfm return convention
This is based on a report and patch by Geert Uytterhoeven.

The functions crypto_alloc_tfm and create_create_tfm return a
pointer that needs to be adjusted by the caller when successful
and otherwise an error value.  This means that the caller has
to check for the error and only perform the adjustment if the
pointer returned is valid.

Since all callers want to make the adjustment and we know how
to adjust it ourselves, it's much easier to just return adjusted
pointer directly.

The only caveat is that we have to return a void * instead of
struct crypto_tfm *.  However, this isn't that bad because both
of these functions are for internal use only (by types code like
shash.c, not even algorithms code).

This patch also moves crypto_alloc_tfm into crypto/internal.h
(crypto_create_tfm is already there) to reflect this.

92a0acce18 net: Kill skb_truesize_check(), it only catches false-positives.
A long time ago we had bugs, primarily in TCP, where we would modify
skb->truesize (for TSO queue collapsing) in ways which would corrupt
the socket memory accounting.

skb_truesize_check() was added in order to try and catch this error
more systematically.

However this debugging check has morphed into a Frankenstein of sorts
and these days it does nothing other than catch false-positives.

ac45f602ee net: infrastructure for hardware time stamping
The additional per-packet information (16 bytes for time stamps, 1
byte for flags) is stored for all packets in the skb_shared_info
struct. This implementation detail is hidden from users of that
information via skb_* accessor functions. A separate struct resp.
union is used for the additional information so that it can be
stored/copied easily outside of skb_shared_info.

Compared to previous implementations (reusing the tstamp field
depending on the context, optional additional structures) this
is the simplest solution. It does not extend sk_buff itself.

TX time stamping is implemented in software if the device driver
doesn't support hardware time stamping.

The new semantic for hardware/software time stamping around
ndo_start_xmit() is based on two assumptions about existing
network device drivers which don't support hardware time
stamping and know nothing about it:
 - they leave the new skb_shared_tx unmodified
 - the keep the connection to the originating socket in skb->sk
   alive, i.e., don't call skb_orphan()

Given that skb_shared_tx is new, the first assumption is safe.
The second is only true for some drivers. As a result, software
TX time stamping currently works with the bnx2 driver, but not
with the unmodified igb driver (the two drivers this patch series
was tested with).

cb9eff0978 net: new user space API for time stamping of incoming and outgoing packets
User space can request hardware and/or software time stamping.
Reporting of the result(s) via a new control message is enabled
separately for each field in the message because some of the
fields may require additional computation and thus cause overhead.
User space can tell the different kinds of time stamps apart
and choose what suits its needs.

When a TX timestamp operation is requested, the TX skb will be cloned
and the clone will be time stamped (in hardware or software) and added
to the socket error queue of the skb, if the skb has a socket
associated with it.

The actual TX timestamp will reach userspace as a RX timestamp on the
cloned packet. If timestamping is requested and no timestamping is
done in the device driver (potentially this may use hardware
timestamping), it will be done in software after the device's
start_hard_xmit routine.

a75244c3d5 timecompare: generic infrastructure to map between two time bases
Mapping from a struct timecounter to a time returned by functions like
ktime_get_real() is implemented. This is sufficient to use this code
in a network device driver which wants to support hardware time
stamping and transformation of hardware time stamps to system time.

The interface could have been made more versatile by not depending on
a time counter, but this wasn't done to avoid writing glue code
elsewhere.

The method implemented here is the one used and analyzed under the name
"assisted PTP" in the LCI PTP paper:

a038a353c3 clocksource: allow usage independent of timekeeping.c
So far struct clocksource acted as the interface between time/timekeeping.c
and hardware. This patch generalizes the concept so that a similar
interface can also be used in other contexts. For that it introduces
new structures and related functions *without* touching the existing
struct clocksource.

The reasons for adding these new structures to clocksource.[ch] are
* the APIs are clearly related
* struct clocksource could be cleaned up to use the new structs
* avoids proliferation of files with similar names (timesource.h?
  timecounter.h?)

As outlined in the discussion with John Stultz, this patch adds
* struct cyclecounter: stateless API to hardware which counts clock cycles
* struct timecounter: stateful utility code built on a cyclecounter which
  provides a nanosecond counter
* only the function to read the nanosecond counter; deltas are used internally
  and not exposed to users of timecounter

The code does no locking of the shared state. It must be called at least
as often as the cycle counter wraps around to detect these wrap arounds.
Both is the responsibility of the timecounter user.

6c5979631b syscall define: fix uml compile bug
With the new system call defines we get this on uml:

arch/um/sys-i386/built-in.o: In function `sys_call_table':
(.rodata+0x308): undefined reference to `sys_sigprocmask'

Reason for this is that uml passes the preprocessor option
-Dsigprocmask=kernel_sigprocmask to gcc when compiling the kernel.
This causes SYSCALL_DEFINE3(sigprocmask, ...) to be expanded to
SYSCALL_DEFINEx(3, kernel_sigprocmask, ...) and finally to a system
call named sys_kernel_sigprocmask.  However sys_sigprocmask is missing
because of this.

To avoid macro expansion for the system call name just concatenate the
name at first define instead of carrying it through severel levels.
This was pointed out by Al Viro.

cfebe563bd cgroups: fix lockdep subclasses overflow
I enabled all cgroup subsystems when compiling kernel, and then:
 # mount -t cgroup -o net_cls xxx /mnt
 # mkdir /mnt/0

This showed up immediately:
 BUG: MAX_LOCKDEP_SUBCLASSES too low!
 turning off the locking correctness validator.

It's caused by the cgroup hierarchy lock:
	for (i = 0; i < CGROUP_SUBSYS_COUNT; i++) {
		struct cgroup_subsys *ss = subsys[i];
		if (ss->root == root)
			mutex_lock_nested(&ss->hierarchy_mutex, i);
	}

Now we have 9 cgroup subsystems, and the above 'i' for net_cls is 8, but
MAX_LOCKDEP_SUBCLASSES is 8.

This patch uses different lockdep keys for different subsystems.

9f339e7028 x86, ptrace, mm: fix double-free on race
Ptrace_detach() races with __ptrace_unlink() if the traced task is
reaped while detaching. This might cause a double-free of the BTS
buffer.

Change the ptrace_detach() path to only do the memory accounting in
ptrace_bts_detach() and leave the buffer free to ptrace_bts_untrace()
which will be called from __ptrace_unlink().

The fix follows a proposal from Oleg Nesterov.

5a6fe12595 Do not account for the address space used by hugetlbfs using VM_ACCOUNT
When overcommit is disabled, the core VM accounts for pages used by anonymous
shared, private mappings and special mappings. It keeps track of VMAs that
should be accounted for with VM_ACCOUNT and VMAs that never had a reserve
with VM_NORESERVE.

Overcommit for hugetlbfs is much riskier than overcommit for base pages
due to contiguity requirements. It avoids overcommiting on both shared and
private mappings using reservation counters that are checked and updated
during mmap(). This ensures (within limits) that hugepages exist in the
future when faults occurs or it is too easy to applications to be SIGKILLed.

As hugetlbfs makes its own reservations of a different unit to the base page
size, VM_ACCOUNT should never be set. Even if the units were correct, we would
double account for the usage in the core VM and hugetlbfs. VM_NORESERVE may
be set because an application can request no reserves be made for hugetlbfs
at the risk of getting killed later.

With commit fc8744adc8, VM_NORESERVE and
VM_ACCOUNT are getting unconditionally set for hugetlbfs-backed mappings. This
breaks the accounting for both the core VM and hugetlbfs, can trigger an
OOM storm when hugepage pools are too small lockups and corrupted counters
otherwise are used. This patch brings hugetlbfs more in line with how the
core VM treats VM_NORESERVE but prevents VM_ACCOUNT being set.

If we race with commit code setting i_transaction to NULL, we could

d6301d3dd1 net: Increase default NET_SKB_PAD to 32.
Several devices need to insert some "pre headers" in front of the
main packet data when they transmit a packet.

Currently we allocate only 16 bytes of pad room and this ends up not
being enough for some types of hardware (NIU, usb-net, s390 qeth,
etc.)

So increase this to 32.

Note that drivers still need to check in their transmit routine
whether enough headroom exists, and if not use skb_realloc_headroom().
Tunneling, IPSEC, and other encapsulation methods can cause the
padding area to be used up.

33dccbb050 tun: Limit amount of queued packets per device
Unlike a normal socket path, the tuntap device send path does
not have any accounting.  This means that the user-space sender
may be able to pin down arbitrary amounts of kernel memory by
continuing to send data to an end-point that is congested.

Even when this isn't an issue because of limited queueing at
most end points, this can also be a problem because its only
response to congestion is packet loss.  That is, when those
local queues at the end-point fills up, the tuntap device will
start wasting system time because it will continue to send
data there which simply gets dropped straight away.

Of course one could argue that everybody should do congestion
control end-to-end, unfortunately there are people in this world
still hooked on UDP, and they don't appear to be going away
anywhere fast.  In fact, we've always helped them by performing
accounting in our UDP code, the sole purpose of which is to
provide congestion feedback other than through packet loss.

This patch attempts to apply the same bandaid to the tuntap device.
It creates a pseudo-socket object which is used to account our
packets just as a normal socket does for UDP.  Of course things
are a little complex because we're actually reinjecting traffic
back into the stack rather than out of the stack.

The stack complexities however should have been resolved by preceding
patches.  So this one can simply start using skb_set_owner_w.

For now the accounting is essentially disabled by default for
backwards compatibility.  In particular, we set the cap to INT_MAX.
This is so that existing applications don't get confused by the
sudden arrival EAGAIN errors.

In future we may wish (or be forced to) do this by default.

1df9f0a731 Integrity: IMA file free imbalance
The number of calls to ima_path_check()/ima_file_free()
should be balanced.  An extra call to fput(), indicates
the file could have been accessed without first being
measured.

Although f_count is incremented/decremented in places other
than fget/fput, like fget_light/fput_light and get_file, the
current task must already hold a file refcnt.  The call to
__fput() is delayed until the refcnt becomes 0, resulting
in ima_file_free() flagging any changes.

- add hook to increment opencount for IPC shared memory(SYSV),
  shmat files, and /dev/zero
- moved NULL iint test in opencount_get()

3323eec921 integrity: IMA as an integrity service provider
IMA provides hardware (TPM) based measurement and attestation for
file measurements. As the Trusted Computing (TPM) model requires,
IMA measures all files before they are accessed in any way (on the
integrity_bprm_check, integrity_path_check and integrity_file_mmap
hooks), and commits the measurements to the TPM. Once added to the
TPM, measurements can not be removed.

In addition, IMA maintains a list of these file measurements, which
can be used to validate the aggregate value stored in the TPM.  The
TPM can sign these measurements, and thus the system can prove, to
itself and to a third party, the system's integrity in a way that
cannot be circumvented by malicious or compromised software.

- alloc ima_template_entry before calling ima_store_template()
- log ima_add_boot_aggregate() failure
- removed unused IMA_TEMPLATE_NAME_LEN
- replaced hard coded string length with #define name

Impact: cleanup

disable_ioapic_setup() in init/main.c is ugly as the function is
x86-specific. The #ifdef inline prototype there is ugly too.

Replace it with a generic arch_disable_smp_support() function - which
has a weak alias for non-x86 architectures and for non-ioapic x86 builds.

777c6c5f1f wait: prevent exclusive waiter starvation
With exclusive waiters, every process woken up through the wait queue must
ensure that the next waiter down the line is woken when it has finished.

Interruptible waiters don't do that when aborting due to a signal.  And if
an aborting waiter is concurrently woken up through the waitqueue, noone
will ever wake up the next waiter.

This has been observed with __wait_on_bit_lock() used by
lock_page_killable(): the first contender on the queue was aborting when
the actual lock holder woke it up concurrently.  The aborted contender
didn't acquire the lock and therefor never did an unlock followed by
waking up the next waiter.

Add abort_exclusive_wait() which removes the process' wait descriptor from
the waitqueue, iff still queued, or wakes up the next waiter otherwise.
It does so under the waitqueue lock.  Racing with a wake up means the
aborting process is either already woken (removed from the queue) and will
wake up the next waiter, or it will remove itself from the queue and the
concurrent wake up will apply to the next waiter after it.

Use abort_exclusive_wait() in __wait_event_interruptible_exclusive() and
__wait_on_bit_lock() when they were interrupted by other means than a wake
up through the queue.

1f5e31d7e5 fbmem: don't call copy_from/to_user() with mutex held
Avoid calling copy_from/to_user() with fb_info->lock mutex held in fbmem
ioctl().

fb_mmap() is called under mm->mmap_sem (A) held, that also acquires
fb_info->lock (B); fb_ioctl() takes fb_info->lock (B) and does
copy_from/to_user() that might acquire mm->mmap_sem (A), causing a
deadlock.

NOTE: it doesn't push down the fb_info->lock in each own driver's
fb_ioctl(), so there are still potential deadlocks elsewhere.

4cd4c1b40d timers: split process wide cpu clocks/timers
Change the process wide cpu timers/clocks so that we:

 1) don't mess up the kernel with too many threads,
 2) don't have a per-cpu allocation for each process,
 3) have no impact when not used.

In order to accomplish this we're going to split it into two parts:

 - clocks; which can take all the time they want since they run
           from user context -- ie. sys_clock_gettime(CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID)

 - timers; which need constant time sampling but since they're
           explicity used, the user can pay the overhead.

The clock readout will go back to a full sum of the thread group, while the
timers will run of a global 'clock' that only runs when needed, so only
programs that make use of the facility pay the price.

32bd671d6c signal: re-add dead task accumulation stats.
We're going to split the process wide cpu accounting into two parts:

 - clocks; which can take all the time they want since they run
           from user context.

 - timers; which need constant time tracing but can affort the overhead
           because they're default off -- and rare.

The clock readout will go back to a full sum of the thread group, for this
we need to re-add the exit stats that were removed in the initial itimer
rework (f06febc9: timers: fix itimer/many thread hang).

Furthermore, since that full sum can be rather slow for large thread groups
and we have the complete dead task stats, revert the do_notify_parent time
computation.

2a41f71d3b virtio_net: Add a virtqueue for outbound control commands
This will be used for RX mode, MAC filter table, VLAN filtering, etc...

The control transaction consists of one or more "out" sg entries and
one or more "in" sg entries.  The first out entry contains a header
defining the class and command.  Additional out entries may provide
data for the command.  The last in entry provides a status response
back from the command.

Virtqueues typically run asynchronous, running a callback function
when there's data in the channel.  We can't readily make use of this
in the command paths where we need to use this.  Instead, we kick
the virtqueue and spin.  The kick causes an I/O write, triggering an
immediate trap into the hypervisor.
