does not cause the directory to actually be removed. Nonetheless, we

This dma_ops->dma_supported is first called in platform_dma_init() during kernel
boot. Then dma_ops->dma_supported will be called recursively in
iommu_dma_supported.
Kernel can not boot because kernel can not get out of iommu_dma_supported until
it runs out of stack memory.

ALSA: hda - Don't override ADC definitions for ALC codecs
ALC269 and ALC861-VD parsers override the ADC definitions
unconditionally without checking the spec definition. This causes
the problem when any inconsistent ADC is set up in the device quirk
(like ALC272 with digital-mic).
This patch avoids the overriding by adding the proper checks.

PM / Driver Core: Kill dev_pm_ops platform warning for now
Commit 783ea7d4eeefe895f2731fe73ac951e94418927b
(Driver Core: Rework platform suspend/resume, print warning)
added a warning message printed for platform drivers that use the
legacy PM callbacks rather than struct dev_pm_ops. Unfortunately,
this resulted in some confusion and made some people try to convert
drivers by replacing the old callbacks with struct dev_pm_ops in
automatic way, which generally is not a good idea.
Remove the platform device runtime dev_pm_ops warning for now,
because it's annoying to users and it's not really necessary right
now.

pty: fix data loss when stopped (^S/^Q)
Commit d945cb9cc ("pty: Rework the pty layer to use the normal buffering
logic") dropped the test for 'tty->stopped' in pty_write_room(), which
then causes the n_tty line discipline thing to not throttle the data
properly when the tty is stopped.
So instead of pausing the write due to the tty being stopped, the ldisc
layer would go ahead and push it down to the pty. The pty write()
routine would then refuse to take the data (because it _did_ check
'stopped'), and the data wouldn't actually be written.
This whole stopped test should eventually be moved into the tty ldisc
layer rather than have low-level tty drivers care about these things,
but right now the fix is to just re-instate the missing pty 'stopped'
handling.

PCI hotplug: SGI hotplug: do not use hotplug_slot_attr
PCI hotplug: SGI hotplug: fix build failure
Wei Chong Tan reported a fast-PIT-calibration corner-case:
| pit_expect_msb() is vulnerable to SMI disturbance corner case
| in some platforms which causes /proc/cpuinfo to show wrong
| CPU MHz value when quick_pit_calibrate() jumps to success
| section.
I think that the real issue isn't even an SMI - but the fact
that in the very last iteration of the loop, there's no
serializing instruction _after_ the last 'rdtsc'. So even in
the absense of SMI's, we do have a situation where the cycle
counter was read without proper serialization.
The last check should be done outside the outer loop, since
_inside_ the outer loop, we'll be testing that the PIT has
the right MSB value has the right value in the next iteration.
So only the _last_ iteration is special, because that's the one
that will not check the PIT MSB value any more, and because the
final 'get_cycles()' isn't serialized.
In other words:
- I'd like to move the PIT MSB check to after the last
iteration, rather than in every iteration
- I think we should comment on the fact that it's also a
serializing instruction and so 'fences in' the TSC read.

mempool.c: clean up type-casting
clean up type-casting twice. "size_t" is typedef as "unsigned long" in
64-bit system, and "unsigned int" in 32-bit system, and the intermediate
cast to 'long' is pointless.
perf_counter: Zero dead bytes from ftrace raw samples size alignment
After aligning the ftrace raw samples, there are dead bytes storing
random data from the stack. We don't want to leak these to userspace,
then zero these out.
perf_counter: Subtract the buffer size field from the event record size
We compute the perf raw sample size by aligning the raw ftrace
event size plus the buffer size field itself. We do that
instead of aligning only the perf raw sample size, so that we
might economize some in some cases.
But this buffer size field is not stored in the perf raw
sample, we must then substract its size from the buffer once we
computed the alignment unless we may get a useless u32 field in
the buffer.

mm_for_maps: take ->cred_guard_mutex to fix the race with exec
The problem is minor, but without ->cred_guard_mutex held we can race
with exec() and get the new ->mm but check old creds.
Now we do not need to re-check task->mm after ptrace_may_access(), it
can't be changed to the new mm under us.
Strictly speaking, this also fixes another very minor problem. Unless
security check fails or the task exits mm_for_maps() should never
return NULL, the caller should get either old or new ->mm.
mm_for_maps: shift down_read(mmap_sem) to the caller
mm_for_maps() takes ->mmap_sem after security checks, this looks
strange and obfuscates the locking rules. Move this lock to its
single caller, m_start().

mm_for_maps: simplify, use ptrace_may_access()
It would be nice to kill __ptrace_may_access(). It requires task_lock(),
but this lock is only needed to read mm->flags in the middle.
Convert mm_for_maps() to use ptrace_may_access(), this also simplifies
the code a little bit.
Also, we do not need to take ->mmap_sem in advance. In fact I think
mm_for_maps() should not play with ->mmap_sem at all, the caller should
take this lock.
With or without this patch, without ->cred_guard_mutex held we can race
with exec() and get the new ->mm but check old creds.
