fe102c71a6 rtc: fix missing id_table in rtc-ds1672 and rtc-max6900 drivers
Add missing id_table to the drivers in subject.  Patch is against the
latest git.  It should go in with 2.6.28 if possible, the drivers won't
work without the id_table bits.

fbb5b7ae4b relayfs: fix infinite loop with splice()
Running kmemtraced, which uses splice() on relayfs, causes a hard lock on
x86-64 SMP.  As described by Tom Zanussi:

  It looks like you hit the same problem as described here:

361371201b uml: boot broken due to buffer overrun
mconsole_init() passed 256 bytes as length in os_create_unix_socket, while
the sizeof UNIX_PATH_MAX is 108. This patch fixes that problem and avoids
a big overrun bug reported on UML bootup.

sockaddr_un.sun_path is UNIX_PATH_MAX long which causes the problem.

6a0fcbb4da crypto: api - Disallow cryptomgr as a module if algorithms are built-in
If we have at least one algorithm built-in then it no longer makes
sense to have the testing framework, and hence cryptomgr to be a
module.  It should be either on or off, i.e., built-in or disabled.

This just happens to stop a potential runaway modprobe loop that
seems to trigger on at least one distro.

7b363e4400 netpoll: fix race on poll_list resulting in garbage entry
A few months back a race was discused between the netpoll napi service
path, and the fast path through net_rx_action:
http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-netdev/2007/10/16/345470

A patch was submitted for that bug, but I think we missed a case.

Consider the following scenario:

INITIAL STATE
CPU0 has one napi_struct A on its poll_list
CPU1 is calling netpoll_send_skb and needs to call poll_napi on the same
napi_struct A that CPU0 has on its list



CPU0						CPU1
net_rx_action					poll_napi
!list_empty (returns true)			locks poll_lock for A
						 poll_one_napi
						  napi->poll
						   netif_rx_complete
						    __napi_complete
						    (removes A from poll_list)
list_entry(list->next)


In the above scenario, net_rx_action assumes that the per-cpu poll_list is
exclusive to that cpu.  netpoll of course violates that, and because the netpoll
path can dequeue from the poll list, its possible for CPU0 to detect a non-empty
list at the top of the while loop in net_rx_action, but have it become empty by
the time it calls list_entry.  Since the poll_list isn't surrounded by any other
structure, the returned data from that list_entry call in this situation is
garbage, and any number of crashes can result based on what exactly that garbage
is.

Given that its not fasible for performance reasons to place exclusive locks
arround each cpus poll list to provide that mutal exclusion, I think the best
solution is modify the netpoll path in such a way that we continue to guarantee
that the poll_list for a cpu is in fact exclusive to that cpu.  To do this I've
implemented the patch below.  It adds an additional bit to the state field in
the napi_struct.  When executing napi->poll from the netpoll_path, this bit will
be set. When a driver calls netif_rx_complete, if that bit is set, it will not
remove the napi_struct from the poll_list.  That work will be saved for the next
iteration of net_rx_action.

I've tested this and it seems to work well.  About the biggest drawback I can
see to it is the fact that it might result in an extra loop through
net_rx_action in the event that the device is actually contended for (i.e. the
netpoll path actually preforms all the needed work no the device, and the call
to net_rx_action winds up doing nothing, except removing the napi_struct from
the poll_list.  However I think this is probably a small price to pay, given
that the alternative is a crash.

85f334666a tracehook: exec double-reporting fix
The patch 6341c39 "tracehook: exec" introduced a small regression in
2.6.27 regarding binfmt_misc exec event reporting.  Since the reporting
is now done in the common search_binary_handler() function, an exec
of a misc binary will result in two (or possibly multiple) exec events
being reported, instead of just a single one, because the misc handler
contains a recursive call to search_binary_handler.

To add to the confusion, if PTRACE_O_TRACEEXEC is not active, the multiple
SIGTRAP signals will in fact cause only a single ptrace intercept, as the
signals are not queued.  However, if PTRACE_O_TRACEEXEC is on, the debugger
will actually see multiple ptrace intercepts (PTRACE_EVENT_EXEC).

The test program included below demonstrates the problem.

This change fixes the bug by calling tracehook_report_exec() only in the
outermost search_binary_handler() call (bprm->recursion_depth == 0).

The additional change to restore bprm->recursion_depth after each binfmt
load_binary call is actually superfluous for this bug, since we test the
value saved on entry to search_binary_handler().  But it keeps the use of
of the depth count to its most obvious expected meaning.  Depending on what
binfmt handlers do in certain cases, there could have been false-positive
tests for recursion limits before this change.

    /* Test program using PTRACE_O_TRACEEXEC.
       This forks and exec's the first argument with the rest of the arguments,
       while ptrace'ing.  It expects to see one PTRACE_EVENT_EXEC stop and
       then a successful exit, with no other signals or events in between.

       Test for kernel doing two PTRACE_EVENT_EXEC stops for a binfmt_misc exec:

       $ gcc -g traceexec.c -o traceexec
       $ sudo sh -c 'echo :test:M::foobar::/bin/cat: > /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/register'
       $ echo 'foobar test' > ./foobar
       $ chmod +x ./foobar
       $ ./traceexec ./foobar; echo $?

24fc7b86dc ipv6: silence log messages for locally generated multicast
This patch fixes minor annoyance during transmission of unsolicited
neighbor advertisements from userspace to multicast addresses (as
far as I can see in RFC, this is allowed and the similar functionality
for IPv4 has been in arping for a long time).

Outgoing multicast packets get reinserted into local processing as if they
are received from the network. The machine thus sees its own NA and fills
the logs with error messages. This patch removes the message if NA has been
generated locally.

From: Hermann Lauer <Hermann.Lauer@iwr.uni-heidelberg.de>

Attached is a patch which improves the output of ethtool (see below)
to some sensefull values with a sungem fibre card which uses the
sungem interal pcs connected to a serdes chip. The seriallink case in
the driver is untouched.

Most values are hardcoded, because gigabit fibre autoneg is anyways
limited and the driver don't really support much at the moment with
that hardware.

ff740fb021 [IA64] SN: prevent IRQ retargetting in request_irq()
With the introduction of the generic affinity autoselector,
irq_select_affinity(), IRQs are now being retargetted,
using a default mask, via the request_irq() path.
This results in all IRQs targetted at CPU 0.

SN Altix assigns affinity in the SN PROM, and does not
expect that to be changed as part of request_irq().

Set the IRQ_AFFINITY_SET flag to prevent
request_irq() from resetting affinity.

ec9a13cdbf ieee1394: node manager causes up to ~3.25s delay in freezing tasks
The firewire nodemanager function "nodemgr_host_thread" contains a loop
that calls try_to_freeze near the top of the loop, but then delays for
up to 3.25 seconds (plus time to do work) before getting back to the top
of the loop. When starting a cycle post-boot, this doesn't seem to bite,
but it is causing a noticeable delay at boot time, when freezing
processes prior to starting to read the image.

The following patch adds invocation of try_to_freeze to the subloops
that are used in the body of this function. With these additions, the
time to freeze when starting to resume at boot time is virtually zero.
I'm no expert on firewire, and so don't know that we shouldn't check
the return value and jump back to the top of the loop or such like after
being frozen, but I submit it for your consideration.

Signed-off-by: Nigel Cunningham <nigel@tuxonice.net>

The delay until nodemgr freezes was up to 0.25s (plus time for node
probes) in Linux 2.6.27 and older and up to 3.25s (plus ~) since Linux
2.6.28-rc1, hence much more noticeable.

try_to_freeze() without any jump is correct.  The surrounding code in
the respective loops will catch whether another bus reset happens during
the freeze and handle it.

f3179748a1 radeonfb: Disable new color expand acceleration unless explicitely enabled
This new color expansion acceleration for radeonfb appears to trigger
problems with X on VT switch and suspend/resume on some machines. It
might be a problem in the VT layer or in X, but I haven't quite found
it yet, so in the meantime, this disables the acceleration by default,
reverting to 2.6.27 state. It can be enabled using the "accel_cexp"
module parameter or fbdev argument.

57458036af [SCSI] ibmvstgt: move crq_queue_create to the end of initialization
Calling crq_queue_create could lead to the creation of a rport. We
need to set up everything before creating a rport. This moves
crq_queue_create to the end of initialization to avoid a race which

8d3a564da3 tcp: tcp_vegas cong avoid fix
This patch addresses a book-keeping issue in tcp_vegas.c.  At present
tcp_vegas does separate book-keeping of cwnd based on packet sequence
numbers.  A mismatch can develop between this book-keeping and
tp->snd_cwnd due, for example, to delayed acks acking multiple
packets.  When vegas transitions to reno operation (e.g. following
loss), then this mismatch leads to incorrect behaviour (akin to a cwnd
backoff).  This seems mostly to affect operation at low cwnds where
delayed acking can lead to a significant fraction of cwnd being
covered by a single ack, leading to the book-keeping mismatch.  This
patch modifies the congestion avoidance update to avoid the need for
separate book-keeping while leaving vegas congestion avoidance
functionally unchanged.  A secondary advantage of this modification is
that the use of fixed-point (via V_PARAM_SHIFT) and 64 bit arithmetic
is no longer necessary, simplifying the code.

Some example test measurements with the patched code (confirming no functional
change in the congestion avoidance algorithm) can be seen at:

8c83f80b2d sungem: Make PCS PHY support partially work again.
As reported by Hermann Lauer, PCS PHY support in the sungem
driver simply doesn't work.

When the chip is reset due to open, or some other similar operation,
the PCS is reset too but we don't program it back into a running
state.  The result is no link when the device is brought up.

This partially rectifies the situation for the moment, by kicking
the PCS after a sungem chip reset so that it will renegotiate and
be re-enabled again.

The behavior is still a little bit dodgy as the added renegotiate
make the link take some time after bringing the interface up,
but this is a significant improvement in that things actually work
now :-)

Based almost entirely upon an initial patch by Hermann.

a3f07114e3 [PATCH] Audit: make audit=0 actually turn off audit
Currently audit=0 on the kernel command line does absolutely nothing.
Audit always loads and always uses its resources such as creating the
kernel netlink socket.  This patch causes audit=0 to actually disable
audit.  Audit will use no resources and starting the userspace auditd
daemon will not cause the kernel audit system to activate.

e33ba2c6c6 pata_sis: Remove bogus cable match
Some systems report SIS 5513 as both vendor/id and subvendor/id
string. In that case we can't distinguish the system by the id
svid/sdid and in fact the entry here breaks some boxes. At some
point we need to find another way to detect the Targa Visionary 1000,
until then this trades a hang for some users with lower performance
for others.

Hi,

I've found this issue in the mmotm 2008-12-02-17-08.

ata_piix: add borked Tecra M4 to broken suspend list
introduced DMI variables checking, but they can be null, so that
we possibly dereference null.

Check if they are null and avoid checks in that case.

b60678a75d drm/i915: Disable the GM965 MSI errata workaround.
Since applying the fix suggested by the errata (disabling MSI), we've had
issues with interrupts being stuck on despite IIR being 0 on GM965 hardware.
Most reporters of the issue have confirmed that turning MSI back on fixes
things, and given the difficulties experienced in getting reliable MSI working
on Linux, it's believable that the errata was about software issues and not
actual hardware issues.
