49bc46360d I/OAT: add verification for proper APICID_TAG_MAP setting by BIOS
BIOS versions for systems with I/OAT ver.2 have been found
which fail to program APICID_TAG_MAP for DCA.
The ioatdma driver should recognize incorrectly set APICID_TAG_MAP
and disable DCA in that case.

211a40c087 smack: fixes for unlabeled host support
The following patch (against 2.6.29rc5) fixes a few issues in the
smack/netlabel "unlabeled host support" functionnality that was added in
2.6.29rc.  It should go in before -final.

1) smack_host_label disregard a "0.0.0.0/0 @" rule (or other label),
preventing 'tagged' tasks to access Internet (many systems drop packets with
IP options)

2) netmasks were not handled correctly, they were stored in a way _not
equivalent_ to conversion to be32 (it was equivalent for /0, /8, /16, /24,
/32 masks but not other masks)

3) smack_netlbladdr prefixes (IP/mask) were not consistent (mask&IP was not
done), so there could have been different list entries for the same IP
prefix; if those entries had different labels, well ...

4) they were not sorted

1) 2) 3) are bugs, 4) is a more cosmetic issue.
The patch :

-creates a new helper smk_netlbladdr_insert to insert a smk_netlbladdr,
-sorted by netmask length

-use the new sorted nature of  smack_netlbladdrs list to simplify
 smack_host_label : the first match _will_ be the more specific

-corrects endianness issues in smk_write_netlbladdr &  netlbladdr_seq_show

64ca5ab913 rcu: increment quiescent state counter in ksoftirqd()
If a machine is flooded by network frames, a cpu can loop
100% of its time inside ksoftirqd() without calling schedule().
This can delay RCU grace period to insane values.

Adding rcu_qsctr_inc() call in ksoftirqd() solves this problem.

Paul: "This regression was a result of the recent change from
"schedule()" to "cond_resched()", which got rid of that quiescent
state in the common case where a reschedule is not needed".

ab9e18587f x86, math-emu: fix init_fpu for task != current
Impact: fix math-emu related crash while using GDB/ptrace

init_fpu() calls finit to initialize a task's xstate, while finit always
works on the current task. If we use PTRACE_GETFPREGS on another
process and both processes did not already use floating point, we get
a null pointer exception in finit.

This patch creates a new function finit_task that takes a task_struct
parameter. finit becomes a wrapper that simply calls finit_task with
current. On the plus side this avoids many calls to get_current which
would each resolve to an inline assembler mov instruction.

An empty finit_task has been added to i387.h to avoid linker errors in
case the compiler still emits the call in init_fpu when
CONFIG_MATH_EMULATION is not defined.

The declaration of finit in i387.h has been removed as the remaining
code using this function gets its prototype from fpu_proto.h.

dd39ecf522 x86: EFI: Back efi_ioremap with init_memory_mapping instead of FIX_MAP
Impact: Fix boot failure on EFI system with large runtime memory range

Brian Maly reported that some EFI system with large runtime memory
range can not boot. Because the FIX_MAP used to map runtime memory
range is smaller than run time memory range.

This patch fixes this issue by re-implement efi_ioremap() with
init_memory_mapping().

ff0c087490 x86: fix DMI on EFI
Impact: reactivate DMI quirks on EFI hardware

DMI tables are loaded by EFI, so the dmi calls must happen after
efi_init() and not before.

Currently Apple hardware uses DMI to determine the framebuffer mappings
for efifb. Without DMI working you also have no video on MacBook Pro.

This patch resolves the DMI issue for EFI hardware (DMI is now properly
detected at boot), and additionally efifb now loads on Apple hardware
(i.e. video works).

b9bdcd9bd7 net pcmcia: worklimit reaches -1
with while (--worklimit >= 0); worklimit reaches -1 after the loop. In
3c589_cs.c this caused a warning not to be printed.

In 3c574_cs.c contrastingly, el3_rx() treats worklimit differently:

static int el3_rx(struct net_device *dev, int worklimit)
{
	while (--worklimit >= 0) { ... }
	return worklimit;
}

el3_rx() is only called by function el3_interrupt(): twice:

static irqreturn_t el3_interrupt(int irq, void *dev_id)
{
        int work_budget = max_interrupt_work;
	while(...) {
		if (...)
			work_budget = el3_rx(dev, work_budget);
		if (...)
			work_budget = el3_rx(dev, work_budget);
		if (--work_budget < 0) {
		        ...
		        break;
		}
	}
}
The error path can occur 2 too early.

4222474519 net: fix tokenring license
Currently, modular tokenring ("tr") lacks a license and fails to load:

tr: module license 'unspecified' taints kernel.
tr: Unknown symbol proc_net_fops_create

Beacuse of this, no tokenring driver can load if it depends on modular 
tr. Fix this by adding GPL module license as it is in the kernel.

With this fix, tr module loads fine and tms380 driver also loads. Well, 
it does'nt work but that's a different bug.

4843b93c96 netlink: invert error code in netlink_set_err()
The callers of netlink_set_err() currently pass a negative value
as parameter for the error code. However, sk->sk_err wants a
positive error value. Without this patch, skb_recv_datagram() called
by netlink_recvmsg() may return a positive value to report an error.

Another choice to fix this is to change callers to pass a positive
error value, but this seems a bit inconsistent and error prone
to me. Indeed, the callers of netlink_set_err() assumed that the
(usual) negative value for error codes was fine before this patch :).

This patch also includes some documentation in docbook format
for netlink_set_err() to avoid this sort of confusion.

This is because the #ifdef's in bfin_serial_5xx.h are messed up. More
specifically, they add/remove the uart_{rts,cts}_pin fields in
bfin_serial_resources based on whether the particular port has rts/cts enabled,
as opposed to when either port has it enabled.

This patch fixed this.

17edde5209 netns: Remove net_alive
It turns out that net_alive is unnecessary, and the original problem
that led to it being added was simply that the icmp code thought
it was a network device and wound up being unable to handle packets
while there were still packets in the network namespace.

Now that icmp and tcp have been fixed to properly register themselves
this problem is no longer present and we have a stronger guarantee
that packets will not arrive in a network namespace then that provided
by net_alive in netif_receive_skb.  So remove net_alive allowing
packet reception run a little faster.

Additionally document the strong reason why network namespace cleanup
is safe so that if something happens again someone else will have
a chance of figuring it out.

6eb0777228 netns: Fix icmp shutdown.
Recently I had a kernel panic in icmp_send during a network namespace
cleanup.  There were packets in the arp queue that failed to be sent
and we attempted to generate an ICMP host unreachable message, but
failed because icmp_sk_exit had already been called.

The network devices are removed from a network namespace and their
arp queues are flushed before we do attempt to shutdown subsystems
so this error should have been impossible.

It turns out icmp_init is using register_pernet_device instead
of register_pernet_subsys.  Which resulted in icmp being shut down
while we still had the possibility of packets in flight, making
a nasty NULL pointer deference in interrupt context possible.

Changing this to register_pernet_subsys fixes the problem in
my testing.

176c39af29 netns: fix addrconf_ifdown kernel panic
When a network namespace is destroyed the network interfaces are
all unregistered, making addrconf_ifdown called by the netdevice
notifier. 
In the other hand, the addrconf exit method does a loop on the network
devices and does addrconf_ifdown on each of them. But the ordering of 
the netns subsystem is not right because it uses the register_pernet_device
instead of register_pernet_subsys. If we handle the loopback as
any network device, we can safely use register_pernet_subsys.

But if we use register_pernet_subsys, the addrconf exit method will do
exactly what was already done with the unregistering of the network
devices. So in definitive, this code is pointless.

I removed the netns addrconf exit method and moved the code to the
addrconf cleanup function.

0fc59d3a01 x86: fix init_memory_mapping() to handle small ranges
Impact: fix failed EFI bootup in certain circumstances

Ying Huang found init_memory_mapping() has problem with small ranges
less than 2M when he tried to direct map the EFI runtime code out of
max_low_pfn_mapped.

It turns out we never considered that case and didn't check the range...

07555c9880 OMAP: enable smc911x support for LDP platform
The following patch enables SMC911x support to work on the OMAP LDP
board.  Although the SMC911x driver will eventually be obsoleted, the
smsc911x patches are rather invasive for the -rc kernels.

Rather than risk destablising smsc911x, this simpler patch is preferred
to allow the network interface to work.

3df2678737 sctp: fix kernel panic with ERROR chunk containing too many error causes
If ERROR chunk is received with too many error causes in ESTABLISHED
state, the kernel get panic.

This is because sctp limit the max length of cmds to 14, but while
ERROR chunk is received, one error cause will add around 2 cmds by
sctp_add_cmd_sf(). So many error causes will fill the limit of cmds
and panic.

This patch fixed the problem.

2450cf51a1 Revert "menu: fix embedded menu snafu"
This reverts commit 155b25bcc2, which was
totally wrong - the "embedded" options still exists (very much so) even
on non-embedded platforms.

It's just that we don't bother with actually asking about them when
we're not embedded, we just take their default values (which is usually
'y' - the options add features that may not be worth it in a constrained
environment).
