x86: don't use P6_NOPs if compiling with CONFIG_X86_GENERIC
P6_NOPs are definitely not supported on some VIA CPUs, and possibly
(unverified) on AMD K7s. It is also the only thing that prevents a
686 kernel from running on Transmeta TM3x00/5x00 (Crusoe) series.
The performance benefit over generic NOPs is very small, so when
building for generic consumption, avoid using them.

When sending a SCSI command to a tape drive via the SCSI Generic (sg)
driver, if the command has a data transfer length more than
scatter_elem_sz (32 KB default) and not a multiple of 512, then I either
hit BUG_ON(!valid_dma_direction(direction)) in dma_unmap_sg() or else
the command never completes (depending on the LLDD).
When constructing scatterlists, the sg driver rounds up the scatterlist
element sizes to be a multiple of 512. This can result in
sum(scatterlist lengths) > bufflen. In this case, scsi_req_map_sg()
incorrectly sets bio->bi_size to sum(scatterlist lengths) rather than to
bufflen. When the command completes, req_bio_endio() detects that
bio->bi_size != 0, and so it doesn't call bio_endio(). This causes the
command to be resubmitted, resulting in BUG_ON or the command never
completing.
This patch makes scsi_req_map_sg() set bio->bi_size to bufflen rather
than to sum(scatterlist lengths), which fixes the problem.

USB: ehci: Fixes completion for multi-qtd URB the short read case
When use of urb->status in the EHCI driver was reworked last August
(commit 14c04c0f88f228fee1f412be91d6edcb935c78aa), a bug was inserted
in the handling of early completion for bulk transactions that need
more than one qTD (e.g. more than 20KB in one URB).
This patch resolves that problem by ensuring that the early completion
status is preserved until the URB is handed back to its submitter,
instead of resetting it after each qTD.

The atmel_spi driver does not initialize clock polarity correctly (except for
at91rm9200 CS0 channel) in some case.
The atmel_spi driver uses gpio-controlled chipselect. OTOH spi clock signal
is controlled by CSRn.CPOL bit, but this register controls clock signal
correctly only in 'real transfer' duration. At the time of cs_activate()
call, CSRn.CPOL will be initialized correctly, but the controller do not know
which channel is to be used next, so clock signal will stay at the inactive
state of last transfer. If clock polarity of new transfer and last transfer
was differ, new transfer will start with wrong clock signal state.
For example, if you started SPI MODE 2 or 3 transfer after SPI MODE 0 or 1
transfer, the clock signal state at the assertion of chipselect will be low.
Of course this will violates SPI transfer.
This patch is short term solution for this problem. It makes all CSRn.CPOL
match for the transfer before activating chipselect. For longer term, the
best fix might be to let NPCS0 stay selected permanently in MR and overwrite
CSR0 with to the new slave's settings before asserting CS.

This is a backport of upstream commit 013978b6 ("b43: Changes to enable
BCM4311 rev 02 with wireless core revision 13") and the changes include
the following:
(1) Add the 802.11 rev 13 device to the ssb_device_id table to load b43.
(2) Add PHY revision 9 to the supported list.
(3) Change the 2-bit routing code for address extensions to 0b10 rather
than the 0b01 used for the 32-bit case.
(4) Remove some magic numbers in the DMA setup.
The DMA implementation for this chip supports full 64-bit addressing with
one exception. Whenever the Descriptor Ring Buffer is in high memory, a
fatal DMA error occurs. This problem was not present in 2.6.24-rc2 due
to code to "Bias the placement of kernel pages at lower PFNs". When
commit 44048d70 reverted that code, the DMA error appeared. As a "fix",
use the GFP_DMA flag when allocating the buffer for 64-bit DMA. At present,
this problem is thought to arise from a hardware error.

Fixes a sequencing bug in spi driver pxa2xx_spi.c in which the chip select
for a transfer may be asserted before the clock polarity is set on the
interface. As a result of this bug, the clock signal may have the wrong
polarity at transfer start, so it may need to make an extra half transition
before the intended clock/data signals begin. (This probably means all
transfers are one bit out of sequence.)
This only occurs on the first transfer following a change in clock polarity
in systems using more than one more than one such polarity. The fix
assures that the clock mode is properly set before asserting chip select.

Not all architectures implement futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic(). The default
implementation returns -ENOSYS, which is currently not handled inside of the
futex guts.
Futex PI calls and robust list exits with a held futex result in an endless
loop in the futex code on architectures which have no support.
Fixing up every place where futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() is called would
add a fair amount of extra if/else constructs to the already complex code. It
is also not possible to disable the robust feature before user space tries to
register robust lists.
Compile time disabling is not a good idea either, as there are already
architectures with runtime detection of futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic support.
Detect the functionality at runtime instead by calling
cmpxchg_futex_value_locked() with a NULL pointer from the futex initialization
code. This is guaranteed to fail, but the call of
futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() happens with pagefaults disabled.
On architectures, which use the asm-generic implementation or have a runtime
CPU feature detection, a -ENOSYS return value disables the PI/robust features.
On architectures with a working implementation the call returns -EFAULT and
the PI/robust features are enabled.
The relevant syscalls return -ENOSYS and the robust list exit code is blocked,
when the detection fails.

Because we use shared tfm objects in order to conserve memory,
(each tfm requires 128K of vmalloc memory), BH needs to be turned
off on output as that can occur in process context.
Previously this was done implicitly by the xfrm output code.
That was lost when it became lockless. So we need to add the
BH disabling to IPComp directly.

Based upon a patch by Marcel Wappler:
This patch fixes a DHCP issue of the kernel: some DHCP servers
(i.e. in the Linksys WRT54Gv5) are very strict about the contents
of the DHCPDISCOVER packet they receive from clients.
Table 5 in RFC2131 page 36 requests the fields 'ciaddr' and
'siaddr' MUST be set to '0'. These DHCP servers ignore Linux
kernel's DHCP discovery packets with these two fields set to
'255.255.255.255' (in contrast to popular DHCP clients, such as
'dhclient' or 'udhcpc'). This leads to a not booting system.

Various RFCs have all sorts of things to say about the CS field of the
DSCP value. In particular they try to make the distinction between
values that should be used by "user applications" and things like
routing daemons.
This seems to have influenced the CAP_NET_ADMIN check which exists for
IP_TOS socket option settings, but in fact it has an off-by-one error
so it wasn't allowing CS5 which is meant for "user applications" as
well.
Further adding to the inconsistency and brokenness here, IPV6 does not
validate the DSCP values specified for the IPV6_TCLASS socket option.
The real actual uses of these TOS values are system specific in the
final analysis, and these RFC recommendations are just that, "a
recommendation". In fact the standards very purposefully use
"SHOULD" and "SHOULD NOT" when describing how these values can be
used.
In the final analysis the only clean way to provide consistency here
is to remove the CAP_NET_ADMIN check. The alternatives just don't
work out:
1) If we add the CAP_NET_ADMIN check to ipv6, this can break existing
setups.
2) If we just fix the off-by-one error in the class comparison in
IPV4, certain DSCP values can be used in IPV6 but not IPV4 by
default. So people will just ask for a sysctl asking to
override that.
I checked several other freely available kernel trees and they
do not make any privilege checks in this area like we do. For
the BSD stacks, this goes back all the way to Stevens Volume 2
and beyond.

This is a long-standing bug in the IPsec IPv6 code that breaks
when we emit a IPsec tunnel-mode datagram packet. The problem
is that the code the emits the packet assumes the IPv6 stack
will fragment it later, but the IPv6 stack assumes that whoever
is emitting the packet is going to pre-fragment the packet.
In the long term we need to fix both sides, e.g., to get the
datagram code to pre-fragment as well as to get the IPv6 stack
to fragment locally generated tunnel-mode packet.
For now this patch does the second part which should make it
work for the IPsec host case.

There is a race in Linux kernel file net/core/dev.c, function dev_close.
The function calls function dev_deactivate, which calls function
dev_watchdog_down that deletes the watchdog timer. However, after that, a
driver can call netif_carrier_ok, which calls function
__netdev_watchdog_up that can add the watchdog timer again. Function
unregister_netdevice calls function dev_shutdown that traps the bug
!timer_pending(&dev->watchdog_timer). Moving dev_deactivate after
netif_running() has been cleared prevents function netif_carrier_on
from calling __netdev_watchdog_up and adding the watchdog timer again.

If all of the entropy is in the local and foreign addresses,
but xor'ing together would cancel out that entropy, the
current hash performs poorly.
Suggested by Cosmin Ratiu:
Basically, the situation is as follows: There is a client
machine and a server machine. Both create 15000 virtual
interfaces, open up a socket for each pair of interfaces and
do SIP traffic. By profiling I noticed that there is a lot of
time spent walking the established hash chains with this
particular setup.
The addresses were distributed like this: client interfaces
were 198.18.0.1/16 with increments of 1 and server interfaces
were 198.18.128.1/16 with increments of 1. As I said, there
were 15000 interfaces. Source and destination ports were 5060
for each connection. So in this case, ports don't matter for
hashing purposes, and the bits from the address pairs used
cancel each other, meaning there are no differences in the
whole lot of pairs, so they all end up in the same hash chain.

(no matching git id as the upstream code is rewritten)
fix CPA cache attribute bug in v2.6.24. When phys_base is nonzero (when
CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) then change_page_attr_addr() miscalculates the
secondary alias address by -14 MB (depending on the configured offset).
The default 64-bit kernels of Fedora and Ubuntu are affected:
the bug affects all pages in the first 40 MB of physical RAM that
are allocated by some subsystem that does ioremap_nocache() on them:
if (__pa(address) < KERNEL_TEXT_SIZE) {
Hence we might leave page table entries with inconsistent cache
attributes around (pages mapped at both UnCacheable and Write-Back),
and we can also set the wrong kernel text pages to UnCacheable.
the effects of this bug can be random slowdowns and other misbehavior.
If for example AGP allocates its aperture pages into the first 40 MB
of physical RAM, then the -14 MB bug might mark random kernel texto
pages as uncacheable, slowing down a random portion of the 64-bit
kernel until the AGP driver is unloaded.

Add missing exception table entry so that the kernel can handle
proctection exceptions as well on the cs instruction. Currently only
specification exceptions are handled correctly.
The missing entry allows user space to crash the kernel.
It removed the mask function in favour of the default delayed
interrupt disabling. Unfortunately this also broke the shutdown in
free_irq() when the last handler is removed from the interrupt for
those architectures which rely on the default implementations. Now we
can end up with a enabled interrupt line after the last handler was
removed, which can result in spurious interrupts.
Fix this by adding a default_shutdown function, which is only
installed, when the irqchip implementation does provide neither a
shutdown nor a disable function.

hrtimer_nanosleep() sets restart_block->arg1 = rmtp, but this rmtp points to
the local variable which lives in the caller's stack frame. This means that
if sys_restart_syscall() actually happens and it is interrupted as well, we
don't update the user-space variable, but write into the already dead stack
frame.
Change the callers to pass "__user *rmtp" to hrtimer_nanosleep(), and change
hrtimer_nanosleep() to use copy_to_user() to actually update *rmtp.
Small problem remains. man 2 nanosleep states that *rtmp should be written if
nanosleep() was interrupted (it says nothing whether it is OK to update *rmtp
if nanosleep returns 0), but (with or without this patch) we can dirty *rem
even if nanosleep() returns 0.
NOTE: this patch doesn't change compat_sys_nanosleep(), because it has other
bugs. Fixed by the next patch.

It appears that with the U3 northbridge, if the processor is in NAP
mode the whole time while waiting for an SMU command to complete,
then the SMU will fail. It could be related to the weird backward
mechanism the SMU uses to get to system memory via i2c to the
northbridge that doesn't operate properly when the said bridge is
in napping along with the CPU. That is on U3 at least, U4 doesn't
seem to be affected.
This didn't show before NO_HZ as the timer wakeup was enough to make
it work it seems, but that is no longer the case.

So I spent a while pounding my head against my monitor trying to figure
out the vmsplice() vulnerability - how could a failure to check for
*read* access turn into a root exploit? It turns out that it's a buffer
overflow problem which is made easy by the way get_user_pages() is
coded.
In particular, "len" is a signed int, and it is only checked at the
*end* of a do {} while() loop. So, if it is passed in as zero, the loop
will execute once and decrement len to -1. At that point, the loop will
proceed until the next invalid address is found; in the process, it will
likely overflow the pages array passed in to get_user_pages().
I think that, if get_user_pages() has been asked to grab zero pages,
that's what it should do. Thus this patch; it is, among other things,
enough to block the (already fixed) root exploit and any others which
might be lurking in similar code. I also think that the number of pages
should be unsigned, but changing the prototype of this function probably
requires some more careful review.
The recent UDP patch exposed this bug in the audit code. It
was calling pskb_expand_head without increasing skb->truesize.
The caller of pskb_expand_head needs to do so because that function
is designed to be called in places where truesize is already fixed
and therefore it doesn't update its value.
Because the audit system is using it in a place where the truesize
has not yet been fixed, it needs to update its value manually.

The inet_diag_lock_handler function uses ERR_PTR to encode errors but

This only happens when the only inet_diag modular user, DCCP, is not

Also there was a problem with not dropping the mutex lock when a handler

If the inode is flagged as having an invalid mapping, then we can't rely on
the PageUptodate() flag. Ensure that we don't use the "anti-fragmentation"
write optimisation in nfs_updatepage(), since that will cause NFS to write
out areas of the page that are no longer guaranteed to be up to date.
A potential corruption could occur in the following scenario:
fd=open("f",O_WRONLY|O_APPEND);
write(fd,"bar\n",4);
close(fd);
-----
The bug may lead to the file "f" reading 'fubar\n\0\0\0\nbar\n' because
client 2 does not update the cached page after re-opening the file for
write. Instead it keeps it marked as PageUptodate() until someone calls
invalidate_inode_pages2() (typically by calling read()).
TCP connection tracking in netfilter did not handle TCP reopening
properly: active close was taken into account for one side only and
not for any side, which is fixed now. The patch includes more comments
to explain the logic how the different cases are handled.
The bug was discovered by Jeff Chua.
Commit 8811930dc74a503415b35c4a79d14fb0b408a361 ("splice: missing user
pointer access verification") added the proper access_ok() calls to
copy_from_user_mmap_sem() which ensures we can copy the struct iovecs
from userspace to the kernel.
But we also must check whether we can access the actual memory region
pointed to by the struct iovec to fix the access checks properly.

vmsplice_to_user() must always check the user pointer and length
with access_ok() before copying. Likewise, for the slow path of
copy_from_user_mmap_sem() we need to check that we may read from
the user region.
