crypto: user - fix info leaks in report API
Three errors resulting in kernel memory disclosure:
1/ The structures used for the netlink based crypto algorithm report API
are located on the stack. As snprintf() does not fill the remainder of

of the API. Switch to strncpy() to fix this.
2/ crypto_report_one() does not initialize all field of struct
crypto_user_alg. Fix this to fix the heap info leak.
3/ For the module name we should copy only as many bytes as
module_name() returns -- not as much as the destination buffer could
hold. But the current code does not and therefore copies random data
from behind the end of the module name, as the module name is always
shorter than CRYPTO_MAX_ALG_NAME.
Also switch to use strncpy() to copy the algorithm's name and

cifs: bugfix for unreclaimed writeback pages in cifs_writev_requeue()
Pages get the PG_writeback flag set before cifs sends its
request to SMB server in cifs_writepages(), if the SMB service
goes down, cifs may try to recommit the writing requests in
cifs_writev_requeue(). However, it does not clean its PG_writeback

1.Write from cifs client continuously.(e.g dd if=/dev/zero of=<cifs file>)
2.Stop SMB service from server.(e.g service smb stop)
3.Wait for two minutes， and then start SMB service from

openrisc: update DTLB-miss handler last
The self-modifying code that updates the TLB handler at start-up has
a subtle ordering requirement: the DTLB handler must be the last thing
changed.
What I was seeing was the following:
i) The DTLB handler was updated
ii) The following printk caused a TLB miss and the look-up resulted
in the page containing itlb_vector (0xc0000a00) being bounced from
the TLB.
iii) The subsequent access to itlb_vector caused a TLB miss and reload
of the page containing itlb_vector from the page tables.
iv) But this reload of the page in iii) was being done by the "new"
DTLB-miss handler which resulted (correctly) in the page flags being
set to read-only; the subsequent write-access to itlb_vector thus
resulted in a page (access) fault.
This is easily remedied if we ensure that the boot-time DTLB-miss handler
continues running until the very last bit of self-modifying code has been
executed. This patch should ensure that the very last thing updated is the
DTLB-handler itself.

ARM: 7645/1: ioremap: introduce an infrastructure for static mapped area
In current implementation, we used ARM-specific flag, that is,
VM_ARM_STATIC_MAPPING, for distinguishing ARM specific static mapped area.
The purpose of static mapped area is to re-use static mapped area when
entire physical address range of the ioremap request can be covered
by this area.
This implementation causes needless overhead for some cases.
For example, assume that there is only one static mapped area and
vmlist has 300 areas. Every time we call ioremap, we check 300 areas for
deciding whether it is matched or not. Moreover, even if there is
no static mapped area and vmlist has 300 areas, every time we call
ioremap, we check 300 areas in now.
If we construct a extra list for static mapped area, we can eliminate
above mentioned overhead.
With a extra list, if there is one static mapped area,
we just check only one area and proceed next operation quickly.
In fact, it is not a critical problem, because ioremap is not frequently
used. But reducing overhead is better idea.
Another reason for doing this work is for removing architecture dependency
on vmalloc layer. I think that vmlist and vmlist_lock is internal data
structure for vmalloc layer. Some codes for debugging and stat inevitably
use vmlist and vmlist_lock. But it is preferable that they are used
as least as possible in outside of vmalloc.c
Now, I introduce an ARM-specific infrastructure for static mapped area. In
the following patch, we will use this and resolve above mentioned problem.

ARC: Don't fiddle with non-existent caches
!CONFIG_ARC_HAS_(I|D)CACHE makes Linux disable caches (assuming they
exist in hardware) - mostly for debugging issues with new peripherals.
However, independent of CONFIG_ARC_HAS_(I|D)CACHE, Linux also needs to
handle, non-existant caches, using the information in Cache BCRs (Build
Configuration Reg)
All the current platforms can work with 0x8000_0000 based dma_addr_t
since the Bus Bridges typically ignore the top bit (the only excpetion
was Angel4 PCI-AHB bridge which we no longer care for).
That way we don't need plat-specific cpu-addr to bus-addr conversion.
Hooks still provided - just in case a platform has an obscure device
which say needs 0 based bus address.
That way <asm/dma_mapping.h> no longer needs to unconditinally include
<plat/dma_addr.h>
Also verfied that on Angel4 board, other peripherals (IDE-disk / EMAC)
work fine with 0x8000_0000 based dma addresses.
The orig platform code orgnaization was singleton design pattern - only
one platform (and board thereof) would build at a time.
Thus any platform/board specific code (e.g. irq init, early init ...)
expected by ARC common code was exported as well defined set of APIs,
with only ONE instance building ever.
Now with multiple-platform build requirement, that design of code no
longer holds - multiple board specific calls need to build at the same
time - so ARC common code can't use the API approach, it needs a
callback based design where each board registers it's specific set of
functions, and at runtime, depending on board detection, the callbacks
are used from the registry.
This commit adds all the infrastructure, where board specific callbacks
are specified as a "maThine description".
All the hooks are placed in right spots, no board callbacks registered
yet (with MACHINE_STARt/END constructs) so the hooks will not run.
Next commit will actually convert the platform to this infrastructure.
This mini patchseries addresses the lack of multi-platform-image support
in ARC port.
Older build system only supported one platform(soc) to build at a time
and further only one board of that platform could be built. There was no
technical reason for that - we just didn't have the need.
So the first step towards multi-platform (and multi-board) builds it to
allow build system to do that.
