d218d11133 tcp: Generalized TTL Security Mechanism
This patch adds the kernel portions needed to implement
RFC 5082 Generalized TTL Security Mechanism (GTSM).
It is a lightweight security measure against forged
packets causing DoS attacks (for BGP). 

This is already implemented the same way in BSD kernels.
For the necessary Quagga patch 
  http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/quagga/dev/17389

Description from Cisco
  http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_3t/12_3t7/feature/guide/gt_btsh.html

It does add one byte to each socket structure, but I did
a little rearrangement to reuse a hole (on 64 bit), but it
does grow the structure on 32 bit

This should be documented on ip(4) man page and the Glibc in.h
file also needs update.  IPV6_MINHOPLIMIT should also be added
(although BSD doesn't support that).  

Only TCP is supported, but could also be added to UDP, DCCP, SCTP
if desired.

a29815a333 core, x86: make LIST_POISON less deadly
The list macros use LIST_POISON1 and LIST_POISON2 as undereferencable
pointers in order to trap erronous use of freed list_heads.  Unfortunately
userspace can arrange for those pointers to actually be dereferencable,
potentially turning an oops to an expolit.

To avoid this allow architectures (currently x86_64 only) to override
the default values for these pointers with truly-undereferencable values.
This is easy on x86_64 as the virtual address space is large and contains
areas that cannot be mapped.

Other 64-bit architectures will likely find similar unmapped ranges.

[ingo: switch to 0xdead000000000000 as the unmapped area]
[ingo: add comments, cleanup]
[jaswinder: eliminate sparse warnings]

7dd65feb6c lib: add support for LZO-compressed kernels
This patch series adds generic support for creating and extracting
LZO-compressed kernel images, as well as support for using such images on
the x86 and ARM architectures, and support for creating and using
LZO-compressed initrd and initramfs images.

Russell King said:

: Testing on a Cortex A9 model:
: - lzo decompressor is 65% of the time gzip takes to decompress a kernel
: - lzo kernel is 9% larger than a gzip kernel
:
: which I'm happy to say confirms your figures when comparing the two.
:
: However, when comparing your new gzip code to the old gzip code:
: - new is 99% of the size of the old code
: - new takes 42% of the time to decompress than the old code
:
: What this means is that for a proper comparison, the results get even better:
: - lzo is 7.5% larger than the old gzip'd kernel image
: - lzo takes 28% of the time that the old gzip code took
:
: So the expense seems definitely worth the effort.  The only reason I
: can think of ever using gzip would be if you needed the additional
: compression (eg, because you have limited flash to store the image.)
:
: I would argue that the default for ARM should therefore be LZO.

This patch:

The lzo compressor is worse than gzip at compression, but faster at
extraction.  Here are some figures for an ARM board I'm working on:

Uncompressed size: 3.24Mo
gzip  1.61Mo 0.72s
lzo   1.75Mo 0.48s

So for a compression ratio that is still relatively close to gzip, it's
much faster to extract, at least in that case.

This part contains:
 - Makefile routine to support lzo compression
 - Fixes to the existing lzo compressor so that it can be used in
   compressed kernels
 - wrapper around the existing lzo1x_decompress, as it only extracts one
   block at a time, while we need to extract a whole file here
 - config dialog for kernel compression

65324144b5 net: RFC3069, private VLAN proxy arp support
This is to be used together with switch technologies, like RFC3069,
that where the individual ports are not allowed to communicate with
each other, but they are allowed to talk to the upstream router.  As
described in RFC 3069, it is possible to allow these hosts to
communicate through the upstream router by proxy_arp'ing.

This patch basically allow proxy arp replies back to the same
interface (from which the ARP request/solicitation was received).

Tunable per device via proc "proxy_arp_pvlan":
  /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/*/proxy_arp_pvlan

This switch technology is known by different vendor names:
 - In RFC 3069 it is called VLAN Aggregation.
 - Cisco and Allied Telesyn call it Private VLAN.
 - Hewlett-Packard call it Source-Port filtering or port-isolation.
 - Ericsson call it MAC-Forced Forwarding (RFC Draft).

7ad6848c7e ip: fix mc_loop checks for tunnels with multicast outer addresses
When we have L3 tunnels with different inner/outer families
(i.e. IPV4/IPV6) which use a multicast address as the outer tunnel
destination address, multicast packets will be loopbacked back to the
sending socket even if IP*_MULTICAST_LOOP is set to disabled.

The mc_loop flag is present in the family specific part of the socket
(e.g. the IPv4 or IPv4 specific part).  setsockopt sets the inner
family mc_loop flag. When the packet is pushed through the L3 tunnel
it will eventually be processed by the outer family which if different
will check the flag in a different part of the socket then it was set.

cfe79c00a2 NOMMU: Avoiding duplicate icache flushes of shared maps
When working with FDPIC, there are many shared mappings of read-only
code regions between applications (the C library, applet packages like
busybox, etc.), but the current do_mmap_pgoff() function will issue an
icache flush whenever a VMA is added to an MM instead of only doing it
when the map is initially created.

The flush can instead be done when a region is first mmapped PROT_EXEC.
Note that we may not rely on the first mapping of a region being
executable - it's possible for it to be PROT_READ only, so we have to
remember whether we've flushed the region or not, and then flush the
entire region when a bit of it is made executable.

However, this also affects the brk area.  That will no longer be
executable.  We can mprotect() it to PROT_EXEC on MPU-mode kernels, but
for NOMMU mode kernels, when it increases the brk allocation, making
sys_brk() flush the extra from the icache should suffice.  The brk area
probably isn't used by NOMMU programs since the brk area can only use up
the leavings from the stack allocation, where the stack allocation is

76446cac68 drm/i915: execbuf2 support
This patch adds a new execbuf ioctl, execbuf2, for use by clients that
want to control fence register allocation more finely.  The buffer
passed in to the new ioctl includes a new relocation type to indicate
whether a given object needs a fence register assigned for the command
buffer in question.

Compatibility with the existing execbuf ioctl is implemented in terms
of the new code, preserving the assumption that fence registers are
required for pre-965 rendering commands.

0fa0edaf32 tracing: Remove show_format and related macros from TRACE_EVENT
The previous patches added the use of print_fmt string and changes
the trace_define_field() function to also create the fields and
format output for the event format files.

   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
5857201	1355780	9336808	16549789	 fc879d	vmlinux
5884589	1351684	9337896	16574169	 fce6d9	vmlinux-orig

The above shows the size of the vmlinux after this patch set
compared to the vmlinux-orig which is before the patch set.

This saves us 27k on text, 1k on bss and adds just 4k of data.

The total savings of 24k in size.

c7ef3a9004 tracing: Have syscall tracing call its own init function
In the clean up of having all events call one specific function,
the syscall event init was changed to call this helper function.

With the new print_fmt updates, the syscalls need to do special
initializations. This patch converts the syscall events to call
its own init function again.

59b015133c Input: serio - fix potential deadlock when unbinding drivers
sysfs_remove_group() waits for sysfs attributes to be removed, therefore
we do not need to worry about driver-specific attributes being accessed
after driver has been detached from the device. In fact, attempts to take
serio->drv_mutex in attribute methods may lead to the following deadlock:

                                          sysfs_read_file()
                                            fill_read_buffer()
                                              sysfs_get_active_two()
                                                psmouse_attr_show_helper()
                                                  serio_pin_driver()
serio_disconnect_driver()
  mutex_lock(&serio->drv_mutex);
                                <-------->        mutex_lock(&serio_drv_mutex);
    psmouse_disconnect()
      sysfs_remove_group(... psmouse_attr_group);
        ....
        sysfs_deactivate();
          wait_for_completion();

Fix this by removing calls to serio_[un]pin_driver() and functions themselves
and using driver-private mutexes to serialize access to attribute's set()
methods that may change device state.

99dcc3e5a9 this_cpu: Page allocator conversion
Use the per cpu allocator functionality to avoid per cpu arrays in struct zone.

This drastically reduces the size of struct zone for systems with large
amounts of processors and allows placement of critical variables of struct
zone in one cacheline even on very large systems.

Another effect is that the pagesets of one processor are placed near one
another. If multiple pagesets from different zones fit into one cacheline
then additional cacheline fetches can be avoided on the hot paths when
allocating memory from multiple zones.

Bootstrap becomes simpler if we use the same scheme for UP, SMP, NUMA. #ifdefs
are reduced and we can drop the zone_pcp macro.

Hotplug handling is also simplified since cpu alloc can bring up and
shut down cpu areas for a specific cpu as a whole. So there is no need to
allocate or free individual pagesets.

V7-V8:
- Explain chicken egg dilemmna with percpu allocator.

V4-V5:
- Fix up cases where per_cpu_ptr is called before irq disable
- Integrate the bootstrap logic that was separate before.

tj: Build failure in pageset_cpuup_callback() due to missing ret
    variable fixed.

e1783a240f module: Use this_cpu_xx to dynamically allocate counters
Use cpu ops to deal with the per cpu data instead of a local_t. Reduces memory
requirements, cache footprint and decreases cycle counts.

The this_cpu_xx operations are also used for !SMP mode. Otherwise we could
not drop the use of __module_ref_addr() which would make per cpu data handling
complicated. this_cpu_xx operations have their own fallback for !SMP.

V8-V9:
- Leave include asm/module.h since ringbuffer.c depends on it. Nothing else
  does though. Another patch will deal with that.
- Remove spurious free.

6f7edb4881 IPVS: Allow boot time change of hash size
I was very frustrated about the fact that I have to recompile the kernel
to change the hash size. So, I created this patch.

If IPVS is built-in you can append ip_vs.conn_tab_bits=?? to kernel
command line, or, if you built IPVS as modules, you can add
options ip_vs conn_tab_bits=??.

To keep everything backward compatible, you still can select the size at
compile time, and that will be used as default.

It has been about a year since this patch was originally posted
and subsequently dropped on the basis of insufficient test data.

Mark Bergsma has provided the following test results which seem
to strongly support the need for larger hash table sizes:

We do however run into the same problem with the default setting (212 =
4096 entries), as most of our LVS balancers handle around a million
connections/SLAB entries at any point in time (around 100-150 kpps
load). With only 4096 hash table entries this implies that each entry
consists of a linked list of 256 connections *on average*.

To provide some statistics, I did an oprofile run on an 2.6.31 kernel,
with both the default 4096 table size, and the same kernel recompiled
with IP_VS_CONN_TAB_BITS set to 18 (218 = 262144 entries). I built a
quick test setup with a part of Wikimedia/Wikipedia's live traffic
mirrored by the switch to the test host.

With the default setting, at ~ 120 kpps packet load we saw a typical %si
CPU usage of around 30-35%, and oprofile reported a hot spot in
ip_vs_conn_in_get:

samples  %        image name               app name
symbol name
1719761  42.3741  ip_vs.ko                 ip_vs.ko      ip_vs_conn_in_get
302577    7.4554  bnx2                     bnx2          /bnx2
181984    4.4840  vmlinux                  vmlinux       __ticket_spin_lock
128636    3.1695  vmlinux                  vmlinux       ip_route_input
74345     1.8318  ip_vs.ko                 ip_vs.ko      ip_vs_conn_out_get
68482     1.6874  vmlinux                  vmlinux       mwait_idle

After loading the recompiled kernel with 218 entries, %si CPU usage
dropped in half to around 12-18%, and oprofile looks much healthier,
with only 7% spent in ip_vs_conn_in_get:

samples  %        image name               app name
symbol name
265641   14.4616  bnx2                     bnx2         /bnx2
143251    7.7986  vmlinux                  vmlinux      __ticket_spin_lock
140661    7.6576  ip_vs.ko                 ip_vs.ko     ip_vs_conn_in_get
94364     5.1372  vmlinux                  vmlinux      mwait_idle
86267     4.6964  vmlinux                  vmlinux      ip_route_input
