The rates tag of the assoc request has room for only 8 rates. In case of
802.11g an extended rate tag is appended. However in net/wireless/mlme.c
an extended (empty) rate tag is also appended if the number of rates is
exact 8. This empty (length=0) extended rates tag causes some APs to
deny association with code 18 (unsupported rates). These APs include my
ZyXEL G-570U, and according to Tomas Winkler som Cisco APs.
'If count == 8' has been used to check for the need for an extended rates
tag. But count would also be equal to 8 if the for loop exited because of
no more supported rates. Therefore a check for count being less than
rates_len would seem more correct.
Thanks to:
* Dan Williams for newbie guidance
* Tomas Winkler for confirming the problem

mac80211: Fix debugfs file add/del for netdev
Previous version was using incorrect union structures for non-AP
interfaces when adding and removing max_ratectrl_rateidx and
force_unicast_rateidx entries. Depending on the vif type, this ended
up in corrupting debugfs entries since the dentries inside different
union structures ended up going being on top of eachother.. As the
end result, debugfs files were being left behind with references to
freed data (instant kernel oops on access) and directories were not
removed properly when unloading mac80211 drivers. This patch fixes
those issues by using only a single union structure based on the vif
type.

mac80211: Use IWEVASSOCREQIE instead of IWEVCUSTOM
The previous code was using IWEVCUSTOM to report IEs from AssocReq and
AssocResp frames into user space. This can easily hit the 256 byte
limit (IW_CUSTOM_MAX) with APs that include number of vendor IEs in
AssocResp. This results in the event message not being sent and dmesg
showing "wlan0 (WE) : Wireless Event too big (366)" type of errors.
Convert mac80211 to use IWEVASSOCREQIE/IWEVASSOCRESPIE to avoid the
issue of being unable to send association IEs as wireless events. These
newer event types use binary encoding and larger maximum size
(IW_GENERIC_IE_MAX = 1024), so the likelyhood of not being able to send
the IEs is much smaller than with IWEVCUSTOM. As an extra benefit, the
code is also quite a bit simpler since there is no need to allocate an
extra buffer for hex encoding.

Allowing 4k CPU's is not practical at this time, because we still have a
number of places that have several 'cpumask_t's on the stack, and a
4k-bit cpumask is 512 bytes of stack-space for each such variable. This
literally caused functions like 'smp_call_function_mask' to have a 2.5kB
stack frame, and several functions to have 2kB stackframes.
With an 8kB stack total, smashing the stack was simply much too likely.
At least bugzilla entry
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11342
was due to this.
The earlier commit to not inline load_module() into sys_init_module()
fixed the particular symptoms of this that Alan Brunelle saw in that
bugzilla entry, but the huge stack waste by cpumask_t's was the more
direct cause.
Some day we'll have allocation helpers that allocate large CPU masks
dynamically, but in the meantime we simply cannot allow cpumasks this
large.

[module] Don't let gcc inline load_module()
'load_module()' is a complex function that contains all the ELF section
logic, and inlining it is utterly insane. But gcc will do it, simply
because there is only one call-site. As a result, all the stack space
that is allocated for all the work to load the module will still be
active when we actually call the module init sequence, and the deep call
chain makes stack overflows happen.
And stack overflows are really hard to debug, because they not only
corrupt random pages below the stack, but also corrupt the thread_info
structure that is allocated under the stack.
In this case, Alan Brunelle reported some crazy oopses at bootup, after
loading the processor module that ends up doing complex ACPI stuff and
has quite a deep callchain. This should fix it, and is the sane thing
to do regardless.

[IA64] Fix ia64 build failure when CONFIG_SFC=m
CONFIG_SFC=m uses topology_core_siblings() which, for ia64, expects
cpu_core_map to be exported. It is not. This patch exports the needed
symbol.
Maintainers note: This really looks like the wrong thing to do ... it
would be much better for the kernel to export an API to provide
drivers like this with data they need (which in the case of this
driver seems to be an estimate of the effective parallelism available
on the platform). But x86 has exported this forever ... so go with
the flow until such an API is defined.

sched_clock: fix cpu_clock()
This patch fixes 3 issues:
a) it removes the dependency on jiffies, because jiffies are incremented
by a single CPU, and the tick is not synchronized between CPUs. Therefore
relying on it to calculate a window to clip whacky TSC values doesn't work
as it can drift around.
So instead use [GTOD, GTOD+TICK_NSEC) as the window.

ocfs2: Increment the reference count of an already-active stack.
The ocfs2_stack_driver_request() function failed to increment the

first reference. Whoops.

KVM: Use .fixup instead of .text.fixup on __kvm_handle_fault_on_reboot
vmlinux.lds expects the fixup code to be on a section named .fixup. The
.text.fixup section is not mentioned on vmlinux.lds, and is included on
the resulting vmlinux (just after .text) only because of ld heuristics on
placing orphan sections.
However, placing .text.fixup outside .text breaks the definition of
_etext, making it exclude the .text.fixup contents. That makes .text.fixup
be ignored by the kernel initialization code that needs to know about
section locations, such as the code setting page protection bits.
