alpha: fix alignment problem in csum_ipv6_magic()
Hopefully this fixes http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8635
The struct in6_addr passed to csum_ipv6_magic() is 4 byte aligned, so we
can't use the regular 64-bit loads. Since the cost of handling of 4 byte
and 1 byte aligned 64-bit data is roughly the same, this code can cope with
any src/dst [mis]alignment.

console UTF-8 fixes (fix)
Recently my console UTF-8 patch went mainline. Here is an additional patch
that fixes two nasty issues and improves a third one, namely:
1. My patch changed the behavior if a glyph is not found in the Unicode
mapping table. Previously for Unicode values less than 256 or 512 the
kernel tried to display the glyph from that position of the glyph table,
which could lead to a different accented letter being displayed. I
removed this fallback possibility and changed it to display the
replacement symbol.
As Behdad pointed out, some fonts (e.g. sun12x22 from the kbd package)
lack Unicode mapping information, hence all you get is lots of question
marks. Though theoretically it's actually a user-space bug (the font
should be fixed), Behdad and I both believe that it'd be good to work
around in the kernel by re-introducing the fallback solution for ASCII
characters only. This sounds a quite reasonable decision, since all fonts
ship the ASCII characters in the first 128 positions. This way users
won't be surprised by lots of question marks just because s/he issued a
not-so-perfectly parameterized setfont command. As this fallback is only
re-introduced for code points below 128, you still won't see an accented
letter replaced by another, but at least you'll always get the English
letters right.
2. My patch introduced "question mark with inverted color attributes" as a
last resort fallback glyph. Though it perfectly works on VGA console, on
framebuffer you may end up with question marks that are highlighed but
shouldn't be, and normal characters that are accidentally highlighed.
This is caused by missing FLUSHes when changing the color attribute.
3. I've updated the table of double-width character based on Markus's
updated version. Only ten new code poings (one interval) is added.

posix-timers: Prevent softirq starvation by small intervals and SIG_IGN
posix-timers which deliver an ignored signal are currently rearmed in
the timer softirq: This is necessary because the timer needs to be
delivered again when SIG_IGN is removed. This is not a problem, when
the interval is reasonable.
With high resolution timers enabled one might arm a posix timer with a
very small interval and ignore the signal. This might lead to a
softirq starvation when the interval is so small that the timer is
requeued onto the softirq pending list right away.
This problem was pointed out by Jan Kiszka. Thanks Jan !
The correct solution would be to stop the timer, when the signal is
ignored and rearm it when SIG_IGN is removed. Unfortunately this
requires modification in sigaction and involves non trivial sighand
locking. It's too late in the release cycle for such a change.
For now we just keep the timer running and enforce that the timer only
fires every jiffie. This does not break anything as we keep the
overrun counter correct. It adds a little inaccuracy to the
timer_gettime() interface, but...
The more complex change is necessary anyway to fix another short
coming of the current implementation, which I discovered while looking
at this problem: A pending signal is discarded when SIG_IGN is set. In
case that a posixtimer signal is pending then it is discarded as well,
but when SIG_IGN is removed later nothing rearms the timer. This is
not new, it's that way since posix timers have been merged. So nothing
to worry about right now.
I have a working solution to fix all of this, but the impact is too
large for both stable and 2.6.22. I'm going to send it out for review
in the next days.
This should go into 2.6.21.stable as well.

spidernet: Cure RX ram full bug
This patch fixes a rare deadlock that can occur when the kernel
is not able to empty out the RX ring quickly enough. Below follows
a detailed description of the bug and the fix.
As long as the OS can empty out the RX buffers at a rate faster than
the hardware can fill them, there is no problem. If, for some reason,
the OS fails to empty the RX ring fast enough, the hardware GDACTDPA
pointer will catch up to the head, notice the not-empty condition,
ad stop. However, RX packets may still continue arriving on the wire.
The spidernet chip can save some limited number of these in local RAM.
When this local ram fills up, the spider chip will issue an interrupt
indicating this (GHIINT0STS will show ERRINT, and the GRMFLLINT bit
will be set in GHIINT1STS). When te RX ram full condition occurs,
a certain bug/feature is triggered that has to be specially handled.
This section describes the special handling for this condition.
When the OS finally has a chance to run, it will empty out the RX ring.
In particular, it will clear the descriptor on which the hardware had
stopped. However, once the hardware has decided that a certain
descriptor is invalid, it will not restart at that descriptor; instead
it will restart at the next descr. This potentially will lead to a
deadlock condition, as the tail pointer will be pointing at this descr,
which, from the OS point of view, is empty; the OS will be waiting for
this descr to be filled. However, the hardware has skipped this descr,
and is filling the next descrs. Since the OS doesn't see this, there
is a potential deadlock, with the OS waiting for one descr to fill,
while the hardware is waiting for a differen set of descrs to become
empty.
A call to show_rx_chain() at this point indicates the nature of the
problem. A typical print when the network is hung shows the following:
net eth1: Spider RX RAM full, incoming packets might be discarded!
net eth1: Total number of descrs=256
net eth1: Chain tail located at descr=255
net eth1: Chain head is at 255
net eth1: HW curr desc (GDACTDPA) is at 0
net eth1: Have 1 descrs with stat=xa0800000
net eth1: HW next desc (GDACNEXTDA) is at 1
net eth1: Have 127 descrs with stat=x40800101
net eth1: Have 1 descrs with stat=x40800001
net eth1: Have 126 descrs with stat=x40800101
net eth1: Last 1 descrs with stat=xa0800000
Both the tail and head pointers are pointing at descr 255, which is
marked xa... which is "empty". Thus, from the OS point of view, there
is nothing to be done. In particular, there is the implicit assumption
that everything in front of the "empty" descr must surely also be empty,
as explained in the last section. The OS is waiting for descr 255 to
become non-empty, which, in this case, will never happen.
The HW pointer is at descr 0. This descr is marked 0x4.. or "full".
Since its already full, the hardware can do nothing more, and thus has
halted processing. Notice that descrs 0 through 254 are all marked
"full", while descr 254 and 255 are empty. (The "Last 1 descrs" is
descr 254, since tail was at 255.) Thus, the system is deadlocked,
and there can be no forward progress; the OS thinks there's nothing
to do, and the hardware has nowhere to put incoming data.
This bug/feature is worked around with the spider_net_resync_head_ptr()
routine. When the driver receives RX interrupts, but an examination
of the RX chain seems to show it is empty, then it is probable that
the hardware has skipped a descr or two (sometimes dozens under heavy
network conditions). The spider_net_resync_head_ptr() subroutine will
search the ring for the next full descr, and the driver will resume
operations there. Since this will leave "holes" in the ring, there
is also a spider_net_resync_tail_ptr() that will skip over such holes.

[POWERPC] PowerPC: Prevent data exception in kernel space (32-bit)
The "is_exec" branch of the protection check in do_page_fault()
didn't do anything on 32-bit PowerPC. So if a userland program
jumps to a page with Linux protection flags "---p", all the tests
happily fall through, and handle_mm_fault() is called, which in
turn calls handle_pte_fault(), which calls update_mmu_cache(),
which goes flush the dcache to a page with no access rights.
Boom.
This fixes it.
