492e2b63eb [CRYPTO] api: Allow algorithm lookup by type
This patch also adds the infrastructure to pick an algorithm based on
their type.  For example, this allows you to select the encryption
algorithm "aes", instead of any algorithm registered under the name
"aes".  For now this is only accessible internally.  Eventually it
will be made available through crypto_alloc_tfm.

2b8c19dbdc [CRYPTO] api: Add cryptomgr
The cryptomgr module is a simple manager of crypto algorithm instances.
It ensures that parameterised algorithms of the type tmpl(alg) (e.g.,
cbc(aes)) are always created.

This is meant to satisfy the needs for most users.  For more complex
cases such as deeper combinations or multiple parameters, a netlink
module will be created which allows arbitrary expressions to be parsed
in user-space.

2825982d9d [CRYPTO] api: Added event notification
This patch adds a notifier chain for algorithm/template registration events.
This will be used to register compound algorithms such as cbc(aes).  In
future this will also be passed onto user-space through netlink.

cce9e06d10 [CRYPTO] api: Split out low-level API
The crypto API is made up of the part facing users such as IPsec and the
low-level part which is used by cryptographic entities such as algorithms.
This patch splits out the latter so that the two APIs are more clearly
delineated.  As a bonus the low-level API can now be modularised if all
algorithms are built as modules.

9409f38a0c [IPSEC]: Move linux/crypto.h inclusion out of net/xfrm.h
The header file linux/crypto.h is only needed by a few files so including
it in net/xfrm.h (which is included by half of the networking stack) is a
waste.  This patch moves it out of net/xfrm.h and into the specific header
files that actually need it.

6521f30273 [CRYPTO] api: Add crypto_alg reference counting
Up until now we've relied on module reference counting to ensure that the
crypto_alg structures don't disappear from under us.  This was good enough
as long as each crypto_alg came from exactly one module.

However, with parameterised crypto algorithms a crypto_alg object may need
two or more modules to operate.  This means that we need to count the
references to the crypto_alg object directly.

72fa491912 [CRYPTO] api: Rename crypto_alg_get to crypto_mod_get
The functions crypto_alg_get and crypto_alg_put operates on the crypto
modules rather than the algorithms.  Therefore it makes sense to call
them crypto_mod_get and crypto_alg_put respectively.

This is needed because we need to have real algorithm reference counters
for parameterised algorithms as they can be unregistered from below by
when their parameter algorithms are themselves unregistered.

eaf44088ff [CRYPTO] twofish: x86-64 assembly version
The patch passed the trycpt tests and automated filesystem tests.

Twofish Assembler vs. AES Assembler (128bit 8kb block CBC)

setup  ) which will be uses by all twofish crypto modules ( generic-c , i586

79e453d49b Revert mmiocfg heuristics and blacklist changes
This reverts commits 11012d419c and
40dd2d20f2, which allowed us to use the
MMIO accesses for PCI config cycles even without the area being marked
reserved in the e820 memory tables.

Those changes were needed for EFI-environment Intel macs, but broke some
newer Intel 965 boards, so for now it's better to revert to our old
2.6.17 behaviour and at least avoid introducing any new breakage.

Andi Kleen has a set of patches that work with both EFI and the broken
Intel 965 boards, which will be applied once they get wider testing.

86998aa653 [PATCH] genirq core: fix handle_level_irq()
while porting the -rt tree to 2.6.18-rc7 i noticed the following
screaming-IRQ scenario on an SMP system:

 2274  0Dn.:1 0.001ms: do_IRQ+0xc/0x103  <= (ret_from_intr+0x0/0xf)
 2274  0Dn.:1 0.010ms: do_IRQ+0xc/0x103  <= (ret_from_intr+0x0/0xf)
 2274  0Dn.:1 0.020ms: do_IRQ+0xc/0x103  <= (ret_from_intr+0x0/0xf)
 2274  0Dn.:1 0.029ms: do_IRQ+0xc/0x103  <= (ret_from_intr+0x0/0xf)
 2274  0Dn.:1 0.039ms: do_IRQ+0xc/0x103  <= (ret_from_intr+0x0/0xf)
 2274  0Dn.:1 0.048ms: do_IRQ+0xc/0x103  <= (ret_from_intr+0x0/0xf)
 2274  0Dn.:1 0.058ms: do_IRQ+0xc/0x103  <= (ret_from_intr+0x0/0xf)
 2274  0Dn.:1 0.068ms: do_IRQ+0xc/0x103  <= (ret_from_intr+0x0/0xf)
 2274  0Dn.:1 0.077ms: do_IRQ+0xc/0x103  <= (ret_from_intr+0x0/0xf)
 2274  0Dn.:1 0.087ms: do_IRQ+0xc/0x103  <= (ret_from_intr+0x0/0xf)
 2274  0Dn.:1 0.097ms: do_IRQ+0xc/0x103  <= (ret_from_intr+0x0/0xf)

as it turns out, the bug is caused by handle_level_irq(), which if it
races with another CPU already handling this IRQ, it _unmasks_ the IRQ
line on the way out. This is not how 2.6.17 works, and we introduced
this bug in one of the early genirq cleanups right before it went into
-mm. (the bug was not in the genirq patchset for a long time, and we
didnt notice the bug due to the lack of -rt rebase to the new genirq
code. -rt, and hardirq-preemption in particular opens up such races much
wider than anything else.)

properties in that state, we try to dereference a NULL
pointer in the downcall to the of_*() routines.

So protect against that.

This turns out to be a genuine bug.  The queue lock and xmit lock are
intentionally taken out of order.  Two things are supposed to prevent
dead-locks from occuring:

1) When we hold the queue_lock we're supposed to only do try_lock on the
tx_lock.

2) We always drop the queue_lock after taking the tx_lock and before doing
anything else.

This path obviously breaks assumption 1) and therefore can lead to ABBA
dead-locks.

I've looked at the history and there seems to be no reason for the lock
to be held at all in dev_watchdog_up.  The lock appeared in day one and
even there it was unnecessary.  In fact, people added __dev_watchdog_up
precisely in order to get around the tx lock there.

The function dev_watchdog_up is already serialised by rtnl_lock since
its only caller dev_activate is always called under it.

So here is a simple patch to remove the tx lock from dev_watchdog_up.
In 2.6.19 we can eliminate the unnecessary __dev_watchdog_up and
replace it with dev_watchdog_up.

This patch should add support for -1 as "default" IPv6 traffic class,
as specified in IETF RFC3542 §6.5. Within the kernel, it seems tclass
< 0 is already handled, but setsockopt, getsockopt and recvmsg calls
won't accept it from userland.
