Paul Moore observed that if two threads tried to create two tun

As there isn't anything in the ioctl that is expected to sleep
indefinitely, we can prevent this from occurring by extending
the RTNL lock coverage.
This also allows to get rid of the BKL.

fec: fix FEC driver packet transmission breakage
Commit f0b3fbeae11a526c3d308b691684589ee37c359b ("FEC Buffer rework")
breaks transmission of packets where the skb data buffer is not memory
aligned according to FEC_ALIGNMENT. It incorrectly passes to
dma_sync_single() the buffer address directly from the skb, instead of
the address calculated for use (which may be the skb address or one of
the bounce buffers).
It seems there is no use converting the cpu address of the buffer to
a physical either, since dma_map_single() expects the cpu address and
will return the dma address to use in the descriptor. So remove the use
of __pa() on the buffer address as well.

2.6.30, which does not have this problem.

perf_counter: Fix/complete ftrace event records sampling
This patch implements the kernel side support for ftrace event
record sampling.
A new counter sampling attribute is added:
PERF_SAMPLE_TP_RECORD
which requests ftrace events record sampling. In this case
if a PERF_TYPE_TRACEPOINT counter is active and a tracepoint
fires, we emit the tracepoint binary record to the
perfcounter event buffer, as a sample.
Result, after setting PERF_SAMPLE_TP_RECORD attribute from perf
record:
perf record -f -F 1 -a -e workqueue:workqueue_execution
perf report -D
- Userspace support ('perf trace'), 'flight data recorder' mode
for perf trace, etc.
- The unconditional copy from the profiling callback brings
some costs however if someone wants no such sampling to
occur, and needs to be fixed in the future. For that we need
to have an instant access to the perf counter attribute.
This is a matter of a flag to add in the struct ftrace_event.
- Take care of the events recursivity! Don't ever try to record
a lock event for example, it seems some locking is used in
the profiling fast path and lead to a tracing recursivity.
That will be fixed using raw spinlock or recursivity
protection.

- Profit! :-)
