module: use MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX with module_layout
The check_modstruct_version() needs to look up the symbol "module_layout"
in the kernel, but it does so literally and not by a C identifier. The
trouble is that it does not include a symbol prefix for those ports that
need it (like the Blackfin and H8300 port). So make sure we tack on the
MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX define to the front of it.

Upcoming paches to support the new 64-bit "BookE" powerpc architecture
will need to have the virtual address corresponding to PTE page when
freeing it, due to the way the HW table walker works.
Basically, the TLB can be loaded with "large" pages that cover the whole
virtual space (well, sort-of, half of it actually) represented by a PTE
page, and which contain an "indirect" bit indicating that this TLB entry
RPN points to an array of PTEs from which the TLB can then create direct
entries. Thus, in order to invalidate those when PTE pages are deleted,
we need the virtual address to pass to tlbilx or tlbivax instructions.
The old trick of sticking it somewhere in the PTE page struct page sucks
too much, the address is almost readily available in all call sites and
almost everybody implemets these as macros, so we may as well add the
argument everywhere. I added it to the pmd and pud variants for consistency.

cifs: fix sb->s_maxbytes so that it casts properly to a signed value
This off-by-one bug causes sendfile() to not work properly. When a task
calls sendfile() on a file on a CIFS filesystem, the syscall returns -1
and sets errno to EOVERFLOW.
do_sendfile uses s_maxbytes to verify the returned offset of the file.
The problem there is that this value is cast to a signed value (loff_t).
When this is done on the s_maxbytes value that cifs uses, it becomes
negative and the comparisons against it fail.
Even though s_maxbytes is an unsigned value, it seems that it's not OK
to set it in such a way that it'll end up negative when it's cast to a
signed value. These casts happen in other codepaths besides sendfile
too, but the VFS is a little hard to follow in this area and I can't
be sure if there are other bugs that this will fix.
It's not clear to me why s_maxbytes isn't just declared as loff_t in the
first place, but either way we still need to fix these values to make
sendfile work properly. This is also an opportunity to replace the magic
bit-shift values here with the standard #defines for this.
This fixes the reproducer program I have that does a sendfile and
will probably also fix the situation where apache is serving from a
CIFS share.

perf_counter: PERF_SAMPLE_ID and inherited counters
Anton noted that for inherited counters the counter-id as provided by
PERF_SAMPLE_ID isn't mappable to the id found through PERF_RECORD_ID
because each inherited counter gets its own id.
His suggestion was to always return the parent counter id, since that
is the primary counter id as exposed. However, these inherited
counters have a unique identifier so that events like
PERF_EVENT_PERIOD and PERF_EVENT_THROTTLE can be specific about which
counter gets modified, which is important when trying to normalize the
sample streams.
This patch removes PERF_EVENT_PERIOD in favour of PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD,
which is more useful anyway, since changing periods became a lot more
common than initially thought -- rendering PERF_EVENT_PERIOD the less
useful solution (also, PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD reports the more accurate
value, since it reports the value used to trigger the overflow,
whereas PERF_EVENT_PERIOD simply reports the requested period changed,
which might only take effect on the next cycle).
This still leaves us PERF_EVENT_THROTTLE to consider, but since that
_should_ be a rare occurrence, and linking it to a primary id is the
most useful bit to diagnose the problem, we introduce a
PERF_SAMPLE_STREAM_ID, for those few cases where the full
reconstruction is important.

The compiler will incorrectly decide that a trivial loop like this:

This was triggered by the addition of '-fno-strict-overflow', and we

NFSv4: Fix a problem whereby a buggy server can oops the kernel
We just had a case in which a buggy server occasionally returns the wrong
attributes during an OPEN call. While the client does catch this sort of
condition in nfs4_open_done(), and causes the nfs4_atomic_open() to return
-EISDIR, the logic in nfs_atomic_lookup() is broken, since it causes a
fallback to an ordinary lookup instead of just returning the error.
When the buggy server then returns a regular file for the fallback lookup,
the VFS allows the open, and bad things start to happen, since the open
file doesn't have any associated NFSv4 state.
The fix is firstly to return the EISDIR/ENOTDIR errors immediately, and
secondly to ensure that we are always careful when dereferencing the
nfs_open_context state pointer.
Commit 008f55d0e019943323c20a03493a2ba5672a4cc8 (nfs41: recover lease in
_nfs4_lookup_root) forces the state manager to always run on mount. This is
a bug in the case of NFSv4.0, which doesn't require us to send a
setclientid until we want to grab file state.
In any case, this is completely the wrong place to be doing state
management. Moving that code into nfs4_init_session...
The oops http://www.kerneloops.org/raw.php?rawid=537858&msgid= appears to
be due to the nfs4_lock_state->ls_state field being uninitialised. This
happens if the call to nfs4_free_lock_state() is triggered at the end of
nfs4_get_lock_state().
The fix is to move the initialisation of ls_state into the allocator.

mvsdio: fix handling of partial word at the end of PIO transfer
Standard data flow for MMC/SD/SDIO cards requires that the mvsdio
controller be set for big endian operation. This is causing problems
with buffers which length is not a multiple of 4 bytes as the last
partial word doesn't get shifted all the way and stored properly in
memory. Let's compensate for this.

specialix.c: convert nested spin_lock_irqsave to spin_lock
If spin_lock_irqsave is called twice in a row with the same second
argument, the interrupt state at the point of the second call overwrites
the value saved by the first call. Indeed, the second call does not
need to save the interrupt state, so it is changed to a simple

The tx ring accounting fix in commit cb2107be43d2fc5eadec58b92b
("netxen: fix tx ring accounting") introduced intermittent
deadlock when inteface is going down.
This was possibly combined effect of speculative tx pause,
calling netif_tx_lock instead of queue lock and unclean
synchronization with napi which could end up unmasking
interrupt.

The capture buffer size with 64kB seems broken with CA0106.
At least, either the update timing or the DMA position is wrong,
and this screws up pulseaudio badly.
This patch restricts the max buffer size less than that to make life
a bit easier.
ALSA: hda - Fix pin-setup for Sony VAIO with STAC9872 codecs
The recent rewrite of the codec parser for STAC9872 caused a regression
for some Sony VAIO models that don't give proper pin default configs
by BIOS. Even using model=vaio doesn't work because the pin definitions
are set after the pin overrides.
This patch fixes the pin definitions in patch_stac9872() to be put
in the right place before the pin overrides. Also the patch adds the
new quirk entry for VAIO F/S to have the correct pin default configs.
