17efa644f6 [ARM] 2976/1: S3C2410: add static to functions in serial driver
Patch from Ben Dooks

The s3c2410 serial driver is missing static declerations
on several functions that are not exported, and have no
need of being exported outside the driver

60ac133aac [ARM] 2974/1: fix ARM710 swi bug workaround
Patch from Nicolas Pitre

Either no one is using an ARM710 with recent kernels, or all ARM710s
still in use are not afflicted by this swi bug.  Nevertheless, the code
to work around the ARM710 swi bug is itself currently buggy since it
uses r8 as a pointer to S_PC while in fact it holds the spsr content
these days. Fix that, and simplify the code as well.

d8e998c58a [PATCH] ppc32: Tell userland about lack of standard TB
Glibc is about to get some new high precision timer stuff that relies on
the standard timebase of the PPC architecture.

However, some (rare & old) CPUs do not have such timebase and it is a
bit annoying to have your stuff just crash because you are running on
the wrong CPU...

This exposes to userland a CPU feature bit that tells that the current
processor doesn't have a standard timebase.  It's negative logic so that
glibc will still "just work" on older kernels (it will just be unhappy
on those old CPUs but that doesn't really matter as distro tend to
update glibc & kernel at the same time).

cbd27b8ced [PATCH] ppc32: Fix timekeeping
Interestingly enough, ppc32 had broken timekeeping for ages...  It
worked, but probably drifted a bit more than could be explained by the
actual bad precision of the timebase calibration.  We discovered that
recently when somebody figured out that the common code was using
CLOCK_TICK_RATE to correct the timekeeing, and ppc32 had a completely
bogus value for it.

This patch turns it into something saner.  Probably not as good as doing
something based on the actual timebase frequency precision but I'll
leave that sort of math to others.  This at least makes it better for
the common HZ values.

The patch to use host AIO support that I submitted early after 2.6.13 exposed
some problems in the block driver.  I have fixes for these, but am not

b1b510aa28 [SPARC64]: Fix net booting on Ultra5
We were not doing alignment properly when remapping the kernel image.

What we want is a 4MB aligned physical address to map at KERNBASE.
Mistakedly we were 4MB aligning the virtual address where the kernel

Instead, we should PAGE align the virtual address, then 4MB align the

Nir Tzachar <tzachar@cs.bgu.ac.il> points out that if an ELF file specifies a
zero-length bss at a whacky address, we cannot load that binary because
padzero() tries to zero out the end of the page at the whacky address, and
that may not be writeable.

See also http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5411

So teach load_elf_binary() to skip the bss settng altogether if the elf file
has a zero-length bss segment.

a0c111c631 [PATCH] ppc highmem fix
I've noticed that the calculations for seg_size and nr_segs in
__dma_sync_page_highmem() (arch/ppc/kernel/dma-mapping.c) are wrong.  The
incorrect calculations can result in either an oops or a panic when running
fsck depending on the size of the partition.

The problem with the seg_size calculation is that it can result in a
negative number if size is offset > size.  The problem with the nr_segs
caculation is returns the wrong number of segments, e.g.  it returns 1 when
size is 200 and offset is 4095, when it should return 2 or more.

22c1ea44f0 [PATCH] nfsacl: Solaris VxFS compatibility fix
Here is a compatibility fix between Linux and Solaris when used with VxFS
filesystems: Solaris usually accepts acl entries in any order, but with
VxFS it replies with NFSERR_INVAL when it sees a four-entry acl that is not
in canonical form.  It may also fail with other non-canonical acls -- I
can't tell, because that case never triggers: We only send non-canonical
acls when we fake up an ACL_MASK entry.

Instead of adding fake ACL_MASK entries at the end, inserting them in the
correct position makes Solaris+VxFS happy.  The Linux client and server
sides don't care about entry order.  The three-entry-acl special case in
which we need a fake ACL_MASK entry was handled in xdr_nfsace_encode.  The
patch moves this into nfsacl_encode.

ad6ce87e5b [PATCH] dell_rbu: changes in packet update mechanism
In the current dell_rbu code ver 2.0 the packet update mechanism makes the
user app dump every individual packet in to the driver.

This adds in efficiency as every packet update makes the
/sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/loading and data files to disappear and reappear
again.  Thus the user app needs to wait for the files to reappear to dump
another packet.  This slows down the packet update tremendously in case of
large number of packets.  I am submitting a new patch for dell_rbu which will
change the way we do packet updates;

In the new method the user app will create a new single file which has already
packetized the rbu image and all the packets are now staged in this file.

This driver also creates a new entry in
/sys/devices/platform/dell_rbu/packet_size ; the user needs to echo the packet
size here before downloading the packet file.

The user should do the following:

 create one single file which has all the packets stacked together.
 echo the packet size in to /sys/devices/platform/dell_rbu/packet_size.
 echo 1 > /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/loading
 cat the packetfile > /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/data
 echo 0 > /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/loading

The driver takes the file which came through /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/data
and takes chunks of paket_size data from it and place in contiguous memory.

This makes packet update process very efficient and fast.  As all the packet
update happens in one single operation.  The user can still read back the
downloaded file from /sys/devices/platform/dell_rbu/data.

d4875b049b [IPSEC] Fix block size/MTU bugs in ESP
This patch fixes the following bugs in ESP:

* Fix transport mode MTU overestimate.  This means that the inner MTU
  is smaller than it needs be.  Worse yet, given an input MTU which
  is a multiple of 4 it will always produce an estimate which is not
  a multiple of 4.

  For example, given a standard ESP/3DES/MD5 transform and an MTU of
  1500, the resulting MTU for transport mode is 1462 when it should
  be 1464.

  The reason for this is because IP header lengths are always a multiple
  of 4 for IPv4 and 8 for IPv6.

* Ensure that the block size is at least 4.  This is required by RFC2406
  and corresponds to what the esp_output function does.  At the moment
  this only affects crypto_null as its block size is 1.

Bug was introduced with the TLB flush filter fix for i386

421c7ce6d0 [PATCH] x86_64: Allocate cpu local data for all possible CPUs
CPU hotplug fills up the possible map to NR_CPUs, but it did that after
setting up per CPU data. This lead to CPU data not getting allocated
for all possible CPUs, which lead to various side effects.

d7dd8a72ab Use the new "kill_proc_info_as_uid()" for USB disconnect too
All the same issues - we can't just save the pointer to the thread, we
must save the pid/uid/euid combination.

46113830a1 [PATCH] Fix signal sending in usbdevio on async URB completion
If a process issues an URB from userspace and (starts to) terminate
before the URB comes back, we run into the issue described above.  This
is because the urb saves a pointer to "current" when it is posted to the
device, but there's no guarantee that this pointer is still valid
afterwards.

In fact, there are three separate issues:

1) the pointer to "current" can become invalid, since the task could be
   completely gone when the URB completion comes back from the device.

2) Even if the saved task pointer is still pointing to a valid task_struct,
   task_struct->sighand could have gone meanwhile.

3) Even if the process is perfectly fine, permissions may have changed,
   and we can no longer send it a signal.

So what we do instead, is to save the PID and uid's of the process, and
introduce a new kill_proc_info_as_uid() function.

5d8e1b181c [SPARC64]: Fix Ultra5, Ultra60, et al. boot failures.
On the boot processor, we need to do the move onto the Linux trap
table a little bit differently else we'll take unhandlable faults in
the firmware address space.

Previously we would do the following:

1) Disable PSTATE_IE in %pstate.
2) Set %tba by hand to sparc64_ttable_tl0
3) Initialize alternate, mmu, and interrupt global
   trap registers.
4) Call prom_set_traptable()

That doesn't work very well actually with the way we boot the kernel
VM these days.  It worked by luck on many systems because the firmware
accesses for the prom_set_traptable() call happened to be loaded into
the TLB already, something we cannot assume.

So the new scheme is this:

1) Clear PSTATE_IE in %pstate and set %pil to 15
2) Call prom_set_traptable()
3) Initialize alternate, mmu, and interrupt global
   trap registers.

and this works quite well.  This sequence has been moved into a
callable function in assembler named setup-trap_table().  The idea is
that eventually trampoline.S can use this code as well.  That isn't
possible currently due to some complications, but eventually we should
be able to do it.

Thanks to Meelis Roos for the Ultra5 boot failure report.

094804c5a1 [PATCH] x86_64: Fix change_page_attr cache flushing
Noticed by Terence Ripperda

Undo wrong change in global_flush_tlb. We need to flush the caches in all
cases, not just when pages were reverted. This was a bogus optimization
added earlier, but it was wrong.
