dbb2ed2485 [IPV6]: Add ifindex field to ND user option messages.
Userland neighbor discovery options are typically heavily involved with
the interface on which thay are received: add a missing ifindex field to
the original struct. Thanks to Rémi Denis-Courmont.

92d140e21f x86: fix taking DNA during 64bit sigreturn
restore sigcontext is taking a DNA exception while restoring FP context
from the user stack, during the sigreturn.  Appended patch fixes it by
doing clts() if the app doesn't touch FP during the signal handler
execution.  This will stop generating a DNA, during the fxrstor in the
sigreturn.

This improves 64-bit lat_sig numbers by ~30% on my core2 platform.

42b36cc0ce virtio: Force use of power-of-two for descriptor ring sizes
The virtio descriptor rings of size N-1 were nicely set up to be
aligned to an N-byte boundary.  But as Anthony Liguori points out, the
free-running indices used by virtio require that the sizes be a power
of 2, otherwise we get problems on wrap (demonstrated with lguest).

So we replace the clever "2^n-1" scheme with a simple "align to page
boundary" scheme: this means that all virtio rings take at least two
pages, but it's safer than guessing cache alignment.

44332f7167 virtio: fix vring_init for 64 bits
This patch fixes a typo in vring_init().  This happens to work today in lguest
because the sizeof(struct vring_desc) is 16 and struct vring contains 3
pointers and an unsigned int so on 32-bit
sizeof(struct vring_desc) == sizeof(struct vring).  However, this is no longer
true on 64-bit where the bug is exposed.

78608ba032 [NET]: Fix skb_truesize_check() assertion
The intent of the assertion in skb_truesize_check() is to check
for skb->truesize being decremented too much by other code,
resulting in a wraparound below zero.

The type of the right side of the comparison causes the compiler to
promote the left side to an unsigned type, despite the presence of an
explicit type cast.  This defeats the check for negativity.

Ensure both sides of the comparison are a signed type to prevent the
implicit type conversion.

fa13a5a1f2 sched: restore deterministic CPU accounting on powerpc
Since powerpc started using CONFIG_GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS, the
deterministic CPU accounting (CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING) has been
broken on powerpc, because we end up counting user time twice: once in
timer_interrupt() and once in update_process_times().

This fixes the problem by pulling the code in update_process_times
that updates utime and stime into a separate function called
account_process_tick.  If CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING is not defined,
there is a version of account_process_tick in kernel/timer.c that
simply accounts a whole tick to either utime or stime as before.  If
CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING is defined, then arch code gets to
implement account_process_tick.

This also lets us simplify the s390 code a bit; it means that the s390
timer interrupt can now call update_process_times even when
CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING is turned on, and can just implement a
suitable account_process_tick().

account_process_tick() now takes the task_struct * as an argument.
Tested both with and without CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING.

a8fa9ba623 [ARM] 4644/2: fix flush_kern_tlb_range() in module space
For kernel addresses between TASK_SIZE and PAGE_OFFSET,
flush_tlb_kern_range() does not work as would be expected.

The TLB invalidate works with a matching ASID, or on entries marked as
global.  The set_pte_at() macro marks addresses >= PAGE_OFFSET as
global, but not addresses from TASK_SIZE to PAGE_OFFSET, which are
also kernel addresses.

The result is that the entries in this range are not actually
invalidated by flush_tlb_kern_range().

This patch instead marks addresses >= TASK_SIZE as global.

43875cc0a5 [POWERPC] Fix off-by-one error in setting decrementer on Book E/4xx (v2)
The decrementer in Book E and 4xx processors interrupts on the
transition from 1 to 0, rather than on the 0 to -1 transition as on
64-bit server and 32-bit "classic" (6xx/7xx/7xxx) processors.  At the
moment we subtract 1 from the count of how many decrementer ticks are
required before the next interrupt before putting it into the
decrementer, which is correct for server/classic processors, but could
possibly cause the interrupt to happen too early on Book E and 4xx if
the timebase/decrementer frequency is low.

This fixes the problem by making set_dec subtract 1 from the count for
server and classic processors, instead of having the callers subtract
1.  Since set_dec already had a bunch of ifdefs to handle different
processor types, there is no net increase in ugliness. :)

Note that calling set_dec(0) may not generate an interrupt on some
processors.  To make sure that decrementer_set_next_event always calls
set_dec with an interval of at least 1 tick, we set min_delta_ns of
the decrementer_clockevent to correspond to 2 ticks (2 rather than 1
to compensate for truncations in the conversions between ticks and
ns).

This also removes a redundant call to set the decrementer to
0x7fffffff - it was already set to that earlier in timer_interrupt.

On a typical x86_64 platform, this saves about 2MB or 4MB of ram, for
litle performance differences. (we hit a different cache line for the
rwlock, but then the bucket cache line have a better sharing factor
among cpus, since we dirty it less often). For netstat or ss commands
that want a full scan of hash table, we perform fewer memory accesses.

Using a 'small' table of hashed rwlocks should be more than enough to
provide correct SMP concurrency between different buckets, without
using too much memory. Sizing of this table depends on
num_possible_cpus() and various CONFIG settings.

This patch provides some locking abstraction that may ease a future
work using a different model for TCP/DCCP table.

efac52762b [IPVS]: Synchronize closing of Connections
This patch makes the master daemon to sync the connection when it is about
to close.  This makes the connections on the backup to close or timeout
according their state.  Before the sync was performed only if the
connection is in ESTABLISHED state which always made the connections to
timeout in the hard coded 3 minutes. However the Andy Gospodarek's patch
([IPVS]: use proper timeout instead of fixed value) effectively did nothing
more than increasing this to 15 minutes (Established state timeout).  So
this patch makes use of proper timeout since it syncs the connections on
status changes to FIN_WAIT (2min timeout) and CLOSE (10sec timeout).
However if the backup misses CLOSE hopefully it did not miss FIN_WAIT.
Otherwise we will just have to wait for the ESTABLISHED state timeout. As
it is without this patch.  This way the number of the hanging connections
on the backup is kept to minimum. And very few of them will be left to
timeout with a long timeout.

This is important if we want to make use of the fix for the real server
overcommit on master/backup fail-over.

1e356f9cdf [IPVS]: Bind connections on stanby if the destination exists
This patch fixes the problem with node overload on director fail-over.
Given the scenario: 2 nodes each accepting 3 connections at a time and 2
directors, director failover occurs when the nodes are fully loaded (6
connections to the cluster) in this case the new director will assign
another 6 connections to the cluster, If the same real servers exist
there.

The problem turned to be in not binding the inherited connections to
the real servers (destinations) on the backup director. Therefore:
"ipvsadm -l" reports 0 connections:
root@test2:~# ipvsadm -l
IP Virtual Server version 1.2.1 (size=4096)
Prot LocalAddress:Port Scheduler Flags
  -> RemoteAddress:Port           Forward Weight ActiveConn InActConn
TCP  test2.local:5999 wlc
  -> node473.local:5999           Route   1000   0          0
  -> node484.local:5999           Route   1000   0          0

while "ipvs -lnc" is right
root@test2:~# ipvsadm -lnc
IPVS connection entries
pro expire state       source             virtual            destination
TCP 14:56  ESTABLISHED 192.168.0.10:39164 192.168.0.222:5999
192.168.0.51:5999
TCP 14:59  ESTABLISHED 192.168.0.10:39165 192.168.0.222:5999
192.168.0.52:5999

So the patch I am sending fixes the problem by binding the received
connections to the appropriate service on the backup director, if it
exists, else the connection will be handled the old way. So if the
master and the backup directors are synchronized in terms of real
services there will be no problem with server over-committing since
new connections will not be created on the nonexistent real services
on the backup. However if the service is created later on the backup,
the binding will be performed when the next connection update is
received. With this patch the inherited connections will show as
inactive on the backup:

root@test2:~# ipvsadm -l

0fc00e2440 [TTY]: Fix network driver interactions with TCGET/SET calls.
Dave Miller noted various cases where line disciplines for things like
ppp go poking around in termios themselves in ways that broke with the
new termios code. Rather than have them all learning about termios
internals provide proper methods for this

- tty_mode_ioctl()

	This handles all the terminal mode handling for speed/carrier
etc and none of the methods are ldisc dependant so they can be called
by any user

- tty_perform_flush()

	This extracts the flush functionality and enables pppd the ppp
layer to share it cleanly.

The existing n_tty_ioctl code is refactored in this patch to provide
the new functions and to call them itself appropriately. This patch
has no (intended) behaviour changes and simply prepares for the other
fixes.

286ab3d460 [NET]: Define infrastructure to keep 'inuse' changes in an efficent SMP/NUMA way.
"struct proto" currently uses an array stats[NR_CPUS] to track change on
'inuse' sockets per protocol.

If NR_CPUS is big, this means we use a big memory area for this.
Moreover, all this memory area is located on a single node on NUMA
machines, increasing memory pressure on the boot node.

In this patch, I tried to :

- Keep a fast !CONFIG_SMP implementation
- Keep a fast CONFIG_SMP implementation for often used protocols
(tcp,udp,raw,...)
- Introduce a NUMA efficient implementation

Some helper macros are defined in include/net/sock.h
These macros take into account CONFIG_SMP

If a "struct proto" is declared without using DEFINE_PROTO_INUSE /
REF_PROTO_INUSE
macros, it will automatically use a default implementation, using a
dynamically allocated percpu zone.
This default implementation will be NUMA efficient, but might use 32/64
bytes per possible cpu
because of current alloc_percpu() implementation.
However it still should be better than previous implementation based on
stats[NR_CPUS] field.

When a "struct proto" is changed to use the new macros, we use a single
static "int" percpu variable,
lowering the memory and cpu costs, still preserving NUMA efficiency.
