move RLIMIT_NPROC check from set_user() to do_execve_common()
The patch http://lkml.org/lkml/2003/7/13/226 introduced an RLIMIT_NPROC
check in set_user() to check for NPROC exceeding via setuid() and
similar functions.
Before the check there was a possibility to greatly exceed the allowed
number of processes by an unprivileged user if the program relied on
rlimit only. But the check created new security threat: many poorly
written programs simply don't check setuid() return code and believe it
cannot fail if executed with root privileges. So, the check is removed
in this patch because of too often privilege escalations related to
buggy programs.
The NPROC can still be enforced in the common code flow of daemons
spawning user processes. Most of daemons do fork()+setuid()+execve().
The check introduced in execve() (1) enforces the same limit as in
setuid() and (2) doesn't create similar security issues.
Neil Brown suggested to track what specific process has exceeded the
limit by setting PF_NPROC_EXCEEDED process flag. With the change only
this process would fail on execve(), and other processes' execve()
behaviour is not changed.
Solar Designer suggested to re-check whether NPROC limit is still
exceeded at the moment of execve(). If the process was sleeping for
days between set*uid() and execve(), and the NPROC counter step down
under the limit, the defered execve() failure because NPROC limit was
exceeded days ago would be unexpected. If the limit is not exceeded
anymore, we clear the flag on successful calls to execve() and fork().
The flag is also cleared on successful calls to set_user() as the limit
was exceeded for the previous user, not the current one.
Similar check was introduced in -ow patches (without the process flag).
v3 - clear PF_NPROC_EXCEEDED on successful calls to set_user().
powerpc/4xx: enable and fix pcie gen1/gen2 on the 460sx
Adds a register to the config space for the 460sx. Changes the vc0
detect to a pll detect. maps configuration space to test the link
status. changes the setup to enable gen2 devices to operate at gen2
speeds. fixes mapping that was not correct for the 460sx. added
bit definitions for the OMRxMSKL registers. Removed reserved bit
that was set incorrectly in the OMR2MSKL register.
This patch adds kexec support for PPC440 based chipsets. This work is based
on the KEXEC patches for FSL BookE.
The FSL BookE patch and the code flow could be found at the link below:
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/49359/
Steps:
1) Invalidate all the TLB entries except the one this code is run from
2) Create a tmp mapping for our code in the other address space and jump to it
3) Invalidate the entry we used
4) Create a 1:1 mapping for 0-2GiB in blocks of 256M
5) Jump to the new 1:1 mapping and invalidate the tmp mapping
I have tested this patches on Ebony, Sequoia boards and Virtex on QEMU.

As rt_iif represents input device even for packets
coming from loopback with output route, it is not an unique
key specific to input routes. Now rt_route_iif has such role,
it was fl.iif in 2.6.38, so better to change the checks at
some places to save CPU cycles and to restore 2.6.38 semantics.
compare_keys:
- input routes: only rt_route_iif matters, rt_iif is same
- output routes: only rt_oif matters, rt_iif is not
used for matching in __ip_route_output_key
- now we are back to 2.6.38 state
ip_route_input_common:
- matching rt_route_iif implies input route
- compared to 2.6.38 we eliminated one rth->fl.oif check
because it was not needed even for 2.6.38
compare_hash_inputs:
Only the change here is not an optimization, it has
effect only for output routes. I assume I'm restoring
the original intention to ignore oif, it was using fl.iif

The patch incorrectly assumes that using atomic FLUSHING_CACHED_CHARGE
bit operations is sufficient but that is not true. Johannes Weiner has
reported a crash during parallel memory cgroup removal:
We are crashing because we try to dereference cached memcg when we are
checking whether we should wait for draining on the cache. The cache is
already cleaned up, though.
There is also a theoretical chance that the cached memcg gets freed
between we test for the FLUSHING_CACHED_CHARGE and dereference it in
mem_cgroup_same_or_subtree:
CPU0 CPU1 CPU2
mem=stock->cached
stock->cached=NULL
clear_bit
test_and_set_bit
test_bit() ...
<preempted> mem_cgroup_destroy
use after free
The percpu_charge_mutex protected from this race because sync draining
is exclusive.
It is safer to revert now and come up with a more parallel
implementation later.

ARM: SAMSUNG: Fix Section mismatch in samsung_bl_set()
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0xf47c): Section mismatch in reference from the function samsung_bl_set() to the (unknown reference) .init.data:(unknown)
The function samsung_bl_set() references
the (unknown reference) __initdata (unknown).
This is often because samsung_bl_set lacks a __initdata
annotation or the annotation of (unknown) is wrong.

ath5k: fix error handling in ath5k_beacon_send
This cleans up error handling for the beacon in case of dma mapping
failure. We need to free the skb when dma mapping fails instead of
nulling and leaking the pointer, and we should bail out to avoid
giving the hardware the bad descriptor.
Finally, we need to perform the null check after trying to update
the beacon, or else beacons will never be sent after a single
mapping failure.

ath9k_hw: Fix incorrect Tx control power in AR9003 template
CTL power data incorrect in ctlPowerData_2G field of ar9300_eeprom.
Setting incorrect CTL power in calibration is causing lower tx power.
Tx power was reported as 3dBm while operating in channel 6 HT40+/
in channel 11 HT40- due to CTL powers in the calibration is set to

eCryptfs: fix compile error
This patch fixes the compile error reported at the address:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40292
The problem arises when compiling eCryptfs as built-in and the 'encrypted'
key type as a module. The patch prevents this combination from being set in
the kernel configuration, by fixing the eCryptfs dependencies.

been set to NULL, return an error when trying to do a lower read or
