ftrace: irqs off smp_processor_id() fix
The irqsoff function tracer did a __get_cpu_var to determine
if it should trace the function or not. The problem is that
__get_cpu_var can preempt between getting the CPU and reading
the cpu variable. This means that the cpu variable that is
being read is not from the cpu being run on.
At worst, this can give a false positive, where we trace the
function when we should not. It will never give a false negative
since we only want to trace when interrupts are disabled
and we never preempt when they are.
This fix adds a check after reading the irq flags to only
trace if the interrupts are actually disabled. It also changes
the reading of the cpu variable to use a raw_smp_processor_id
since we now don't care if we preempt. We still catch that fact.

ftrace: debug smp_processor_id, use notrace preempt disable
The debug smp_processor_id caused a recursive fault in debugging
the irqsoff tracer. The tracer used a smp_processor_id in the
ftrace callback, and this function called preempt_disable which
also is traced. This caused a recursive fault (stack overload).
Since using smp_processor_id without debugging on does not cause
faults with the tracer (even when the tracer is wrong), the
debug version should not cause a system reboot.
This changes the debug_smp_processor_id to use the notrace versions
of preempt_disable and enable.

ftrace: use dynamic patching for updating mcount calls
This patch replaces the indirect call to the mcount function
pointer with a direct call that will be patched by the

On boot up, the mcount function calls the ftace_stub function.
When the dynamic ftrace code is initialized, the ftrace_stub
is replaced with a call to the ftrace_record_ip, which records
the instruction pointers of the locations that call it.
Later, the ftraced daemon will call kstop_machine and patch all
the locations to nops.
When a ftrace is enabled, the original calls to mcount will now
be set top call ftrace_caller, which will do a direct call
to the registered ftrace function. This direct call is also patched
when the function that should be called is updated.
All patching is performed by a kstop_machine routine to prevent any
type of race conditions that is associated with modifying code
on the fly.

ftrace: dynamic enabling/disabling of function calls
This patch adds a feature to dynamically replace the ftrace code
with the jmps to allow a kernel with ftrace configured to run
as fast as it can without it configured.
The way this works, is on bootup (if ftrace is enabled), a ftrace
function is registered to record the instruction pointer of all
places that call the function.
Later, if there's still any code to patch, a kthread is awoken
(rate limited to at most once a second) that performs a stop_machine,
and replaces all the code that was called with a jmp over the call
to ftrace. It only replaces what was found the previous time. Typically
the system reaches equilibrium quickly after bootup and there's no code
patching needed at all.
e.g.
call ftrace /* 5 bytes */
is replaced with
jmp 3f /* jmp is 2 bytes and we jump 3 forward */
3:
When we want to enable ftrace for function tracing, the IP recording
is removed, and stop_machine is called again to replace all the locations
of that were recorded back to the call of ftrace. When it is disabled,
we replace the code back to the jmp.
Allocation is done by the kthread. If the ftrace recording function is
called, and we don't have any record slots available, then we simply
skip that call. Once a second a new page (if needed) is allocated for
recording new ftrace function calls. A large batch is allocated at
boot up to get most of the calls there.
Because we do this via stop_machine, we don't have to worry about another
CPU executing a ftrace call as we modify it. But we do need to worry
about NMI's so all functions that might be called via nmi must be
annotated with notrace_nmi. When this code is configured in, the NMI code
will not call notrace.

tcp: TCP connection times out if ICMP frag needed is delayed
We are seeing an issue with TCP in handling an ICMP frag needed
message that is received after net.ipv4.tcp_retries1 retransmits.
The default value of retries1 is 3. So if the path mtu changes
and ICMP frag needed is lost for the first 3 retransmits or if
it gets delayed until 3 retransmits are done, TCP doesn't update
MSS correctly and continues to retransmit the orginal message
until it timesout after tcp_retries2 retransmits.
I am seeing this issue even with the latest 2.6.25.4 kernel.
In tcp_retransmit_timer(), when retransmits counter exceeds
tcp_retries1 value, the dst cache entry of the socket is reset.
At this time, if we receive an ICMP frag needed message, the
dst entry gets updated with the new MTU, but the TCP sockets
dst_cache entry remains NULL.
So the next time when we try to retransmit after the ICMP frag
needed is received, tcp_retransmit_skb() gets called. Here the
cur_mss value is calculated at the start of the routine with
a NULL sk_dst_cache. Instead we should call tcp_current_mss after
the rebuild_header that caches the dst entry with the updated mtu.
Also the rebuild_header should be called before tcp_fragment
so that skb is fragmented if the mss goes down.

ath5k: Fix loop variable initializations
In ath5k_tasklet_rx, both status structures 'rxs' and 'rs' are
initialized at the top of the tasklet, but not within the loop.
If the loop is executed multiple times in the tasklet then the
variables may see changes from previous packets.
For TKIP, this results in 'Invalid Michael MIC' errors if two packets
are processed in the tasklet: rxs.flag gets set to RX_DECRYPTED by
mac80211 when it decrypts the first encrypted packet. The subsequent
packet will have RX_DECRYPTED set upon entry to mac80211, so mac80211
will not try to decrypt it.
We currently initialize all but two fields in the structures, so fix
the other two.

vlan: Correctly handle device notifications for layered VLAN devices
Commit 30688a9 ([VLAN]: Handle vlan devices net namespace changing)
changed the device notifier to special-case notifications for VLAN
devices, effectively disabling state propagation to underlying VLAN
devices. This is needed for layered VLANs though, so restore the
original behaviour.

ipsec: Use the correct ip_local_out function
Because the IPsec output function xfrm_output_resume does its
own dst_output call it should always call __ip_local_output
instead of ip_local_output as the latter may invoke dst_output
directly. Otherwise the return values from nf_hook and dst_output
may clash as they both use the value 1 but for different purposes.
When that clash occurs this can cause a packet to be used after
it has been freed which usually leads to a crash. Because the
offending value is only returned from dst_output with qdiscs
such as HTB, this bug is normally not visible.
Thanks to Marco Berizzi for his perseverance in tracking this
down.

USB: ehci-orion: the Orion EHCI root hub does have a Transaction Translator
Commit 7329e211b987a493cbcfca0e98c60eb108ab42df ("USB: root hubs don't
lie about their number of TTs") requires the various platform EHCI
glue modules to set ->has_tt if the root hub has a Transaction
Translator.
The Orion EHCI root hub does have a Transaction Translator, so set
->has_tt in ehci_orion_setup(). This fixes oopsing on plugging in a
low speed device.

Recent USB-serial devices using the WinChipHead CH340/CH341 chipset are
being shipped with a new vendor/product ID code pair, but an otherwise

Windows driver.)
Patch is tested and working, both with new and old devices.

usb-serial: Use ftdi_sio driver for RATOC REX-USB60F
This patch reverts 57833ea6b95a3995149f1f6d1a8d8862ab7a0ba2
("usb-serial: pl2303: add support for RATOC REX-USB60F") and adds

There is a race from when a device is created with device_create() and
then the drvdata is set with a call to dev_set_drvdata() in which a
sysfs file could be open, yet the drvdata will be NULL, causing all
sorts of bad things to happen.
This patch fixes the problem by using the new function,
device_create_drvdata(). It fixes the problem in all of the scsi
drivers that need it.
