fa1df75d4d cifs: add mount option to enable local caching
Add a mount option 'fsc' to enable local caching on CIFS.

I considered adding a separate debug bit for caching, but it appears that
debugging would be relatively easier with the normal CIFS_INFO level.

As the cifs-utils (userspace) changes are not done yet, this patch enables
'fsc' by default to enable testing.

4ff67b720c cifs: clean up cifs_find_smb_ses (try #2)
This patch replaces the earlier patch by the same name. The only
difference is that MAX_PASSWORD_SIZE has been increased to attempt to
match the limits that windows enforces.

Do a better job of matching sessions by authtype. Matching by username
for a Kerberos session is incorrect, and anonymous sessions need special
handling.

Also, in the case where we do match by username, we also need to match
by password. That ensures that someone else doesn't "borrow" an existing
session without needing to know the password.

Finally, passwords can be longer than 16 bytes. Bump MAX_PASSWORD_SIZE
to 512 to match the size that the userspace mount helper allows.

50d971602a cifs: set the port in sockaddr in a more clearly defined fashion
This patch should replace the patch I sent a couple of weeks ago to
set the port in cifs_convert_address.

Currently we set this in cifs_find_tcp_session, but that's more of a
side effect than anything. Add a new function called cifs_fill_sockaddr.
Have it call cifs_convert_address and then set the port.

This also allows us to skip passing in the port as a separate parm to
cifs_find_tcp_session.

Also, change cifs_convert_address take a struct sockaddr * rather than
void * to make it clearer how this function should be called.

64d4b4c90a UBI: do not warn unnecessarily

default) of PEBs for bad eraseblocks handling, it prints a warning. However,
Matthew L. Creech <mlcreech@gmail.com> is not very happy to see this warning,
because he did reserve enough of PEB at the beginning, but with time some
PEBs became bad. The warning is not necessary in this case.

This patch makes UBI print the warning

 o of this is used image and the amount of reserved PEBs is only 10% (or less)
   of the size of the reserved PEB pool.

7cfe249475 ARM: AMBA: Add pclk support to AMBA bus infrastructure
Some platforms gate the pclk (APB - the bus - clock) to the peripherals
for power saving, along with the functional clock.  When devices are
accessed without pclk enabled, the kernel will oops.

This gives them two options:

1. Leave all clocks on all the time.
2. Attempt to gate pclk along with the functional clock.

(With some hardware, pclk and the functional clock are gated by a single
bit in a register.)

(1) has the disadvantage that it causes increased power usage, which is
bad news for battery operated devices.  (2) can lead to kernel oops if
registers are accessed without the functional clock being enabled.

So, introduce the apb_pclk signal in such a way existing drivers don't
need to be updated.  Essentially, this means we guarantee that:

1. pclk will be enabled whenever the driver is bound to a device -
   from probe() to remove() time.
2. pclk will also be enabled when reading the primecell IDs from the device.

In order to allow drivers to be incrementally updated to achieve greater
power savings, we provide two additional calls to allow drivers to
manage the pclk - amba_pclk_enable()/amba_pclk_disable().

de51257aa3 mm: fix ia64 crash when gcore reads gate area
Debian's ia64 autobuilders have been seeing kernel freeze or reboot
when running the gdb testsuite (Debian bug 588574): dannf bisected to
2.6.32 62eede62da "mm: ZERO_PAGE without
PTE_SPECIAL"; and reproduced it with gdb's gcore on a simple target.

I'd missed updating the gate_vma handling in __get_user_pages(): that
happens to use vm_normal_page() (nowadays failing on the zero page),
yet reported success even when it failed to get a page - boom when
access_process_vm() tried to copy that to its intermediate buffer.

Fix this, resisting cleanups: in particular, leave it for now reporting
success when not asked to get any pages - very probably safe to change,
but let's not risk it without testing exposure.

Why did ia64 crash with 16kB pages, but succeed with 64kB pages?
Because setup_gate() pads each 64kB of its gate area with zero pages.

674b222292 nfs: include space for the NUL in root path

        }
        sprintf(nfs_export_path, buf, cp);

In the original code if (strlen(buf) + strlen(cp) == NFS_MAXPATHLEN)
then the sprintf() would lead to an overflow.  Generally the rest of the
code assumes that the path can have NFS_MAXPATHLEN (1024) characters and
a NUL terminator so the fix is to add space to the nfs_export_path[]
buffer.

8f92054e7c CRED: Fix __task_cred()'s lockdep check and banner comment
Fix __task_cred()'s lockdep check by removing the following validation
condition:

	lockdep_tasklist_lock_is_held()

as commit_creds() does not take the tasklist_lock, and nor do most of the
functions that call it, so this check is pointless and it can prevent
detection of the RCU lock not being held if the tasklist_lock is held.

Instead, add the following validation condition:

	task->exit_state >= 0

to permit the access if the target task is dead and therefore unable to change
its own credentials.

Fix __task_cred()'s comment to:

 (1) discard the bit that says that the caller must prevent the target task
     from being deleted.  That shouldn't need saying.

 (2) Add a comment indicating the result of __task_cred() should not be passed
     directly to get_cred(), but rather than get_task_cred() should be used
     instead.

Also put a note into the documentation to enforce this point there too.

de09a9771a CRED: Fix get_task_cred() and task_state() to not resurrect dead credentials
It's possible for get_task_cred() as it currently stands to 'corrupt' a set of
credentials by incrementing their usage count after their replacement by the
task being accessed.

What happens is that get_task_cred() can race with commit_creds():

	TASK_1			TASK_2			RCU_CLEANER
	-->get_task_cred(TASK_2)
	rcu_read_lock()
	__cred = __task_cred(TASK_2)
				-->commit_creds()
				old_cred = TASK_2->real_cred
				TASK_2->real_cred = ...
				put_cred(old_cred)
				  call_rcu(old_cred)
		[__cred->usage == 0]
	get_cred(__cred)
		[__cred->usage == 1]
	rcu_read_unlock()
							-->put_cred_rcu()
							[__cred->usage == 1]
							panic()

However, since a tasks credentials are generally not changed very often, we can
reasonably make use of a loop involving reading the creds pointer and using
atomic_inc_not_zero() to attempt to increment it if it hasn't already hit zero.

If successful, we can safely return the credentials in the knowledge that, even
if the task we're accessing has released them, they haven't gone to the RCU
cleanup code.

We then change task_state() in procfs to use get_task_cred() rather than
calling get_cred() on the result of __task_cred(), as that suffers from the
same problem.

Without this change, a BUG_ON in __put_cred() or in put_cred_rcu() can be
tripped when it is noticed that the usage count is not zero as it ought to be,
for example:

5da3e714e3 ARM: 6277/1: mach-shmobile: Allow users to select HZ, default to 128
Introduce SHMOBILE_TIMER_HZ for SH-Mobile.

Allow users to select HZ on their system to
minimize potential timer drift. Use 128 Hz as
default to work well with the 32768 Hz RCLK.
