sysctl binary: Reorder the tests to process wild card entries first.
A malicious user could have passed in a ctl_name of 0 and triggered
the well know ctl_name to procname mapping code, instead of the wild
card matching code. This is a slight problem as wild card entries don't
have procnames, and because in some alternate universe a network device
might have ifindex 0. So test for and handle wild card entries first.

sysctl: sysctl_binary.c Fix compilation when !CONFIG_NET
dev_get_by_index does not exist when the network stack is not
compiled in, so only include the code to follow wild card paths
when the network stack is present.
I have shuffled the code around a little to make it clear
that dev_put is called after dev_get_by_index showing that
there is no leak.

sysctl: Don't look at ctl_name and strategy in the generic code
The ctl_name and strategy fields are unused, now that sys_sysctl
is a compatibility wrapper around /proc/sys. No longer looking
at them in the generic code is effectively what we are doing
now and provides the guarantee that during further cleanups
we can just remove references to those fields and everything
will work ok.

Now that the sys_sysctl is now a compatibility wrapper around
/proc/sys we can remove much of sysctl_check and reduce it
to a few remaining sanity checks. This completely decouples
it from the binary sysctl system call.
Little things like ensuring that the sysctl has not already
been registered are all that remain.

sysctl: Reduce sys_sysctl to a compatibility wrapper around /proc/sys
To simply maintenance and to be able to remove all of the binary
sysctl support from various subsystems I have rewritten the binary
sysctl code as a compatibility wrapper around proc/sys.
The code is built around a hard coded table based on the table
in sysctl_check.c that lists all of our current binary sysctls
and provides enough information to convert from the sysctl
binary input into into ascii and back again. New in this
patch is the realization that the only dynamic entries
that need to be handled have ifname as the asscii string
and ifindex as their ctl_name.
When a sys_sysctl is called the code now looks in the
translation table converting the binary name to the
path under /proc where the value is to be found. Opens
that file, and calls into a format conversion wrapper
that calls fop->read and then fop->write as appropriate.
Since in practice the practically no one uses or tests
sys_sysctl rewritting the code to be beautiful is a little
silly. The redeeming merit of this work is it allows us to
rip out all of the binary sysctl syscall support from
everywhere else in the tree. Allowing us to remove
a lot of dead (after this patch) and barely maintained code.
In addition it becomes much easier to optimize the sysctl
implementation for being the backing store of /proc/sys,
without having to worry about sys_sysctl.

This uses compat_alloc_userspace to remove the various
hacks to allow do_sysctl to write to throuh oldlenp.
The rest of our mature compat syscall helper facitilies
are used as well to ensure we have a nice clean maintainable
compat syscall that can be used on all architectures.
The motiviation for a generic compat sysctl (besides the
obvious hack removal) is to reduce the number of compat
sysctl defintions out there so I can refactor the
binary sysctl implementation.
ppc already used the name compat_sys_sysctl so I remove the
ppcs version here.

sysctl: Refactor the binary sysctl handling to remove duplicate code
Read in the binary sysctl path once, instead of reread it
from user space each time the code needs to access a path
element.
The deprecated sysctl warning is moved to do_sysctl so
that the compat_sysctl entries syscalls will also warn.
The return of -ENOSYS when !CONFIG_SYSCTL_SYSCALL is moved
to binary_sysctl. Always leaving a do_sysctl available
that handles !CONFIG_SYSCTL_SYSCALL and printing the
deprecated sysctl warning allows for a single defitition
of the sysctl syscall.

Correct nr_processes() when CPUs have been unplugged
nr_processes() returns the sum of the per cpu counter process_counts for
all online CPUs. This counter is incremented for the current CPU on
fork() and decremented for the current CPU on exit(). Since a process
does not necessarily fork and exit on the same CPU the process_count for
an individual CPU can be either positive or negative and effectively has
no meaning in isolation.
Therefore calculating the sum of process_counts over only the online
CPUs omits the processes which were started or stopped on any CPU which
has since been unplugged. Only the sum of process_counts across all
possible CPUs has meaning.
The only caller of nr_processes() is proc_root_getattr() which
calculates the number of links to /proc as
stat->nlink = proc_root.nlink + nr_processes();
You don't have to be all that unlucky for the nr_processes() to return a
negative value leading to a negative number of links (or rather, an
apparently enormous number of links). If this happens then you can get
failures where things like "ls /proc" start to fail because they got an
-EOVERFLOW from some stat() call.
I'm not 100% convinced that the per_cpu regions remain valid for offline
CPUs, although my testing suggests that they do. If not then I think the
correct solution would be to aggregate the process_count for a given CPU
into a global base value in cpu_down().
This bug appears to pre-date the transition to git and it looks like it
may even have been present in linux-2.6.0-test7-bk3 since it looks like
the code Rusty patched in http://lwn.net/Articles/64773/ was already
wrong.

(PM / yenta: Fix cardbus suspend/resume regression) caused resume to
fail on systems with two CardBus bridges. While the exact nature
of the failure is not known at the moment, it can be worked around by
splitting the yenta resume into an early part, executed during the
early phase of resume, that will only resume the socket and power it
up if there was a card in it during suspend, and a late part,
executed during "regular" resume, that will carry out all of the
remaining yenta resume operations.

When nilfs flushes out dirty data to reduce memory pressure, creation

To correct this issue, a timer for the checkpoint creation has to be
continued if a log writer does not create a checkpoint.
I found this was caused by an underflow of dirty pages counter. A
b-tree cache routine was marking page dirty without adjusting page
account information.

"My hand-wavy hunch about what is happening is that we're finding a
bad checksum on the last partially-written transaction, which is
not surprising, but if we have a wrapped log and we're doing the
initial scan for head/tail, and we abort scanning on that bad
checksum, then we are essentially running an unrecovered filesystem.
But that's hand-wavy and I need to go look at the code.
We lived without journal checksums on by default until now, and at

That had the effect of resetting the mm from which to start searching
for the next swap page, to an irrelevant mm instead of to an mm in which
this swap page had been found: which may increase search time by ~20%.
But we're used to swapoff being slow, so never noticed the slowdown.
Remove that one spurious use of swap_count(): Bo Liu thought it merely
redundant, Hugh rewrote the description since it was measurably wrong.

i915: fix intel graphics suspend breakage due to resume/lid event confusion
In commit c1c7af60892070e4b82ad63bbfb95ae745056de0 ("drm/i915: force
mode set at lid open time") the intel graphics driver was taught to
restore the LVDS mode on lid open.
That caused problems with interaction with the suspend/resume code,
which commonly runs at the same time (suspend is often caused by the lid
close event, while lid open is commonly a resume event), which was
worked around with in commit 06891e27a9b5dba5268bb80e41a283f51335afe7
("drm/i915: fix suspend/resume breakage in lid notifier").
However, in the meantime the lid event code had also grown a user event
notifier (commit 06324194eee97a51b5f172270df49ec39192d6cc: "drm/i915:
generate a KMS uevent at lid open/close time"), and now _that_ causes
problems with suspend/resume and some versions of Xorg reacting to those
uevents by setting the mode.
So this effectively reverts that commit 06324194ee, and makes the lid
open protection logic against suspend/resume more explicit. This fixes
at least one laptop. See

ARM: ensure initial page tables are setup for SMP systems
Mapping the same memory using two different attributes (memory
type, shareability, cacheability) is unpredictable. During boot,
we encounter a situation when we're updating the kernel's page
tables which can lead to dirty cache lines existing in the cache
which are subsequently missed. This causes stack corruption,
and therefore a crash.
Therefore, ensure that the shared and cacheability settings
matches the configuration that will be used later; this together
with the restriction in early_cachepolicy() ensures that we won't
create a mismatch during boot.

The patch below also addresses a couple of other corner cases in readdir
seen with a large (e.g. 64k) msize. I'm not sure what people think of
my co-opting of fid->aux here. I'd be happy to rework if there's a better
way.
When the size of the user supplied buffer passed to readdir is smaller
than the data returned in one go by the 9P read request, v9fs_dir_readdir()
currently discards extra data so that, on the next call, a 9P read
request will be issued with offset < previous offset + bytes returned,
which voilates the constraint described in paragraph 3 of read(5) description.
This patch preseves the leftover data in fid->aux for use in the next call.

9p: fix readlink
I do not know if you've looked on the patch, but unfortunately it is
incorrect. A suggested better version is in this email (the old
version didn't work in case the user provided buffer was not long
enough - it incorrectly appended null byte on a position of last char,
and thus broke the contract of the readlink method). However, I'm
still not sure this is 100% correct thing to do, I think readlink is
supposed to return buffer without last null byte in all cases, but we
do return last null byte (even the old version).. on the other hand it
is likely unspecified what is in the remaining part of the buffer, so
null character may be fine there ;):

MIPS: Alchemy: Fix hang with high-frequency edge interrupts
The handle_edge_irq() flowhandler disables edge int sources which occur
too fast (i.e. another edge comes in before the irq handler function
had a chance to finish). Currently, the mask_ack() callback does not
ack the edges in hardware, leading to an endless loop in the flowhandler
where it tries to shut up the irq source.
When I rewrote the alchemy IRQ code I wrongly assumed the mask_ack()
callback was only used by the level flowhandler, hence it omitted the
(at the time pointless) edge acks. Turned out I was wrong; so here
is a complete mask_ack implementation for Alchemy IC, which fixes
the above mentioned problem.

TXx9 SPI bit rate is calculated by:
fBR = fSPI / 2 / (n + 1)
(fSPI is SPI master clock freq, i.e. imbusclk freq.)
So use imbus_clk / 2 as a spi-baseclk.

MIPS: Fix machine check exception in kmap_coherent()
On an SMP system with cache aliases, the following sequence of events may
happen:
1) copy_user_highpage() runs on CPU0, invoking kmap_coherent() to create a
temporary mapping in the fixmap region
2) copy_page() starts on CPU0
3) CPU1 sends CPU0 an IPI asking CPU0 to run local_r4k_flush_cache_page()
4) CPU0 takes the interrupt, interrupting copy_page()
5) local_r4k_flush_cache_page() on CPU0 calls kmap_coherent() again
6) The second invocation of kmap_coherent() on CPU0 tries to use the
same fixmap virtual address that was being used by copy_user_highpage()
7) CPU0 throws a machine check exception for the TLB address conflict
Fixed by creating an extra set of fixmap entries for use in interrupt
handlers. This prevents fixmap VA conflicts between copy_user_highpage()
running in user context, and local_r4k_flush_cache_page() invoked from an
SMP IPI.
