da521b2c4f net: Fix range checks in tcf_valid_offset().
This function has three bugs:

1) The offset should be valid most of the time, this is just
   a sanity check, therefore we should use "likely" not "unlikely"

2) This is the only place where we can check for arithmetic overflow
   of the pointer plus the length.

3) The existing range checks are off by one, the valid range is
   skb->head to skb_tail_pointer(), inclusive.

Based almost entirely upon a patch by Ralph Loader.

9f333281a7 mac80211/rt2x00: add ieee80211_tx_status_ni()
All rt2x00 drivers except rt2800pci call ieee80211_tx_status() from
a workqueue, which causes "NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 08" messages.

To fix it, add ieee80211_tx_status_ni() similar to ieee80211_rx_ni()
which can be called from process context, and call it from
rt2x00lib_txdone().  For the rt2800pci special case a driver
flag is introduced.

173021072e net_sched: always clone skbs
Pawel reported a panic related to handling shared skbs in ixgbe
incorrectly. So we need to revert my previous patch to work around
this bug. Instead of reverting the patch completely, I just revert
the essential lines, so we can add the previous optimization
back more easily in future.

ad0081e43a ipv6: Fragment locally generated tunnel-mode IPSec6 packets as needed.
This patch modifies IPsec6 to fragment IPv6 packets that are
locally generated as needed.

This version of the patch only fragments in tunnel mode, so that fragment

Special care is taken inside sk_port_alloc to avoid overwriting

d9ca676bcb atm: correct sysfs 'device' link creation and parent relationships
The ATM subsystem was incorrectly creating the 'device' link for ATM
nodes in sysfs.  This led to incorrect device/parent relationships
exposed by sysfs and udev.  Instead of rolling the 'device' link by hand
in the generic ATM code, pass each ATM driver's bus device down to the
sysfs code and let sysfs do this stuff correctly.

46bcf14f44 filter: fix sk_filter rcu handling
Pavel Emelyanov tried to fix a race between sk_filter_(de|at)tach and
sk_clone() in commit 47e958eac2

Problem is we can have several clones sharing a common sk_filter, and
these clones might want to sk_filter_attach() their own filters at the
same time, and can overwrite old_filter->rcu, corrupting RCU queues.

We can not use filter->rcu without being sure no other thread could do
the same thing.

Switch code to a more conventional ref-counting technique : Do the
atomic decrement immediately and queue one rcu call back when last
reference is released.

25888e3031 af_unix: limit recursion level
Its easy to eat all kernel memory and trigger NMI watchdog, using an
exploit program that queues unix sockets on top of others.

lkml ref : http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/11/25/8

This mechanism is used in applications, one choice we have is to have a
recursion limit.

Other limits might be needed as well (if we queue other types of files),
since the passfd mechanism is currently limited by socket receive queue
sizes only.

Add a recursion_level to unix socket, allowing up to 4 levels.

Each time we send an unix socket through sendfd mechanism, we copy its
recursion level (plus one) to receiver. This recursion level is cleared
when socket receive queue is emptied.

3b42a96dc7 net: rtnetlink.h -- only include linux/netdevice.h when used by the kernel
The commit below added a new helper dev_ingress_queue to cleanly obtain the
ingress queue pointer.  This necessitated including 'linux/netdevice.h':

  commit 24824a09e3
  Author: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com>
  Date:   Sat Oct 2 06:11:55 2010 +0000

    net: dynamic ingress_queue allocation

However this include triggers issues for applications in userspace
which use the rtnetlink interfaces.  Commonly this requires they include
'net/if.h' and 'linux/rtnetlink.h' leading to a compiler error as below:

  In file included from /usr/include/linux/netdevice.h:28:0,
                   from /usr/include/linux/rtnetlink.h:9,
                   from t.c:2:
  /usr/include/linux/if.h:135:8: error: redefinition of ‘struct ifmap’

  /usr/include/linux/if.h:218:8: error: redefinition of ‘struct ifconf’
  /usr/include/net/if.h:177:8: note: originally defined here

The new helper is only defined for the kernel and protected by __KERNEL__
therefore we can simply pull the include down into the same protected
section.

The intensity of the backlight can be varied from a range of
max_brightness to zero.  Though most, if not all the pwm based backlight
devices start flickering at lower brightness value.  And also for each
device there exists a brightness value below which the backlight appears
to be turned off though the value is not equal to zero.

If the range of brightness for a device is from zero to max_brightness.  A
graph is plotted for brightness Vs intensity for the pwm based backlight
device has to be a linear graph.

	  |   /
	  |  /
	  | /
	  |/
	  ---------
	 0	max_brightness

But pratically on measuring the above we note that the intensity of
backlight goes to zero(OFF) when the value in not zero almost nearing to
zero(some x%).  so the graph looks like

intensity
	  |    /
	  |   /
	  |  /
	  |  |
	  ------------
	 0   x	 max_brightness

In order to overcome this drawback knowing this x% i.e nothing but the low
threshold beyond which the backlight is off and will have no effect, the
brightness value is being offset by the low threshold value(retaining the
linearity of the graph).  Now the graph becomes

intensity
	  |     /
	  |    /
	  |   /
	  |  /
	  -------------
	   0	  max_brightness

With this for each and every digit increment in the brightness from zero
there is a change in the intensity of backlight.  Devices having this
behaviour can set the low threshold brightness(lth_brightness) and pass
the same as platform data else can have it as zero.

This patchset provides support for LP5521 and LP5523 LED driver chips from
National Semicondutor.  Both drivers supports programmable engines and
naturally LED class features.

Documentation is provided as a part of the patchset.  I created "leds"
subdirectory under Documentation.  Perhaps the rest of the leds*
documentation should be moved there.

Datasheets are freely available at National Semiconductor www pages.

5ada28bf76 led-class: always implement blinking
Currently, blinking LEDs can be awkward because it is not guaranteed that
all LEDs implement blinking.  The trigger that wants it to blink then
needs to implement its own timer solution.

Rather than require that, add led_blink_set() API that triggers can use.
This function will attempt to use hw blinking, but if that fails
implements a timer for it.  To stop blinking again, brightness_set() also
needs to be wrapped into API that will stop the software blink.

As a result of this, the timer trigger becomes a very trivial one, and
hopefully we can finally see triggers using blinking as well because it's
always easy to use.

27d20fddc8 radix-tree: fix RCU bug
Salman Qazi describes the following radix-tree bug:

In the following case, we get can get a deadlock:

0.  The radix tree contains two items, one has the index 0.
1.  The reader (in this case find_get_pages) takes the rcu_read_lock.
2.  The reader acquires slot(s) for item(s) including the index 0 item.
3.  The non-zero index item is deleted, and as a consequence the other item is
    moved to the root of the tree. The place where it used to be is queued for
    deletion after the readers finish.
3b. The zero item is deleted, removing it from the direct slot, it remains in
    the rcu-delayed indirect node.
4.  The reader looks at the index 0 slot, and finds that the page has 0 ref
    count
5.  The reader looks at it again, hoping that the item will either be freed or
    the ref count will increase. This never happens, as the slot it is looking
    at will never be updated. Also, this slot can never be reclaimed because
    the reader is holding rcu_read_lock and is in an infinite loop.

The fix is to re-use the same "indirect" pointer case that requires a slot
lookup retry into a general "retry the lookup" bit.

eaf06b241b Restrict unprivileged access to kernel syslog
The kernel syslog contains debugging information that is often useful
during exploitation of other vulnerabilities, such as kernel heap
addresses.  Rather than futilely attempt to sanitize hundreds (or
thousands) of printk statements and simultaneously cripple useful
debugging functionality, it is far simpler to create an option that
prevents unprivileged users from reading the syslog.

This patch, loosely based on grsecurity's GRKERNSEC_DMESG, creates the
dmesg_restrict sysctl.  When set to "0", the default, no restrictions are
enforced.  When set to "1", only users with CAP_SYS_ADMIN can read the
kernel syslog via dmesg(8) or other mechanisms.

3f9d35b951 atomic: add atomic_inc_not_zero_hint()
Followup of perf tools session in Netfilter WorkShop 2010

In the network stack we make high usage of atomic_inc_not_zero() in
contexts we know the probable value of atomic before increment (2 for udp
sockets for example)

Using a special version of atomic_inc_not_zero() giving this hint can help
processor to use less bus transactions.

On x86 (MESI protocol) for example, this avoids entering Shared state,
because "lock cmpxchg" issues an RFO (Read For Ownership)

akpm: Adds a new include/linux/atomic.h.  This means that new code should
henceforth include linux/atomic.h and not asm/atomic.h.  The presence of
include/linux/atomic.h will in fact cause checkpatch.pl to warn about use
of asm/atomic.h.  The new include/linux/atomic.h becomes the place where
arch-neutral atomic_t code should be placed.

ac5aa2e333 netfilter: NF_HOOK_COND has wrong conditional
The NF_HOOK_COND returns 0 when it shouldn't due to what I believe to be an
error in the code as the order of operations is not what was intended.  C will
evalutate == before =.  Which means ret is getting set to the bool result,
rather than the return value of the function call.  The code says

if (ret = function() == 1)
when it meant to say:
if ((ret = function()) == 1)

Normally the compiler would warn, but it doesn't notice it because its
a actually complex conditional and so the wrong code is wrapped in an explict
set of () [exactly what the compiler wants you to do if this was intentional].
Fixing this means that errors when netfilter denies a packet get propagated
back up the stack rather than lost.

Problem introduced by commit 2249065f (netfilter: get rid of the grossness
in netfilter.h).

eed01528a4 perf_events: Fix time tracking in samples
This patch corrects time tracking in samples. Without this patch
both time_enabled and time_running are bogus when user asks for
PERF_SAMPLE_READ.

One uses PERF_SAMPLE_READ to sample the values of other counters
in each sample. Because of multiplexing, it is necessary to know
both time_enabled, time_running to be able to scale counts correctly.

In this second version of the patch, we maintain a shadow
copy of ctx->time which allows us to compute ctx->time without
calling update_context_time() from NMI context. We avoid the
issue that update_context_time() must always be called with
ctx->lock held.

We do not keep shadow copies of the other event timings
because if the lead event is overflowing then it is active
and thus it's been scheduled in via event_sched_in() in
which case neither tstamp_stopped, tstamp_running can be modified.

This timing logic only applies to samples when PERF_SAMPLE_READ
is used.

Note that this patch does not address timing issues related
to sampling inheritance between tasks. This will be addressed
in a future patch.

With this patch, the libpfm4 example task_smpl now reports
correct counts (shown on 2.4GHz Core 2):

$ task_smpl -p 2400000000 -e unhalted_core_cycles:u,instructions_retired:u,baclears  noploop 5

 - now unused bio_empty_barrier helper.
 - Xen blockfront use of BLKIF_OP_WRITE_BARRIER - it's dead for a while,
   but Xen really needs to sort out it's barrier situaton.
 - setting of ordered tags in uas - dead code copied from old scsi
   drivers.
 - scsi different retry for barriers - it's dead and should have been
   removed when flushes were converted to FS requests.
 - blktrace handling of barriers - removed.  Someone who knows blktrace
