6aceabb459 ASoC: tlv320dac33: Burst mode BCLK divider configuration
Add possibility to configure the burst mode BCLK divider through platform
data structure.
The BCLK divider changes the actual speed of the serial bus in burst mode,
which is faster than the sampling frequency of the running stream.
In this way platforms can experiment with the optimal burst speed without
the need to modify the codec driver itself.

c6fcf6bcfc mac80211: re-enable re-transmission of filtered frames
In an earlier commit,

    mac80211: disable software retry for now

    Pavel Roskin reported a problem that seems to be due to
    software retry of already transmitted frames. It turns
    out that we've never done that correctly, but due to
    some recent changes it now crashes in the TX code. I've
    added a comment in the patch that explains the problem
    better and also points to possible solutions -- which
    I can't implement right now.

I disabled software retry of failed/filtered frames
because it was broken. With the work of the previous
patches, it now becomes fairly easy to re-enable it
by adding a flag indicating that the frame shouldn't
be modified, but still running it through the transmit
handlers to populate the control information.

4f9c85a1b0 phylib: Move workqueue initialization to a proper place
commit 541cd3ee00 ("phylib: Fix deadlock
on resume") caused TI DaVinci EMAC ethernet driver to oops upon resume:

 PM: resume of devices complete after 237.098 msecs
 Restarting tasks ... done.
 kernel BUG at kernel/workqueue.c:354!
 Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000
 [...]
 Backtrace:
 [<c002c598>] (__bug+0x0/0x2c) from [<c0052a54>] (queue_delayed_work_on+0x74/0xf8)
 [<c00529e0>] (queue_delayed_work_on+0x0/0xf8) from [<c0052b30>] (queue_delayed_work+0x2c/0x30)

The oops pops up because TI DaVinci EMAC driver detaches PHY on
suspend and attaches it back on resume. Attaching makes phylib call
phy_start_machine() that initializes a workqueue. On the other hand,
PHY's resume routine will call phy_start_machine() again, and that
will cause the oops since we just destroyed the already scheduled
workqueue.

This patch fixes the issue by moving workqueue initialization to
phy_device_create().

p.s. We don't see this oops with ucc_geth and gianfar drivers because
they perform a fine-grained suspend, i.e. they just stop the PHYs
without detaching.

72659ecce6 tcp: account SYN-ACK timeouts & retransmissions
Currently we don't increment SYN-ACK timeouts & retransmissions
although we do increment the same stats for SYN. We seem to have lost
the SYN-ACK accounting with the introduction of tcp_syn_recv_timer
(commit 2248761e in the netdev-vger-cvs tree).

This patch fixes this issue. In the process we also rename the v4/v6
syn/ack retransmit functions for clarity. We also add a new
request_socket operations (syn_ack_timeout) so we can keep code in
inet_connection_sock.c protocol agnostic.

88b060d6c0 pcmcia: improve check for same card in slot after resume
During a suspend/resume cycle, an user may change the card in the
PCMCIA/CardBus slot. The pcmcia_core can at least look at the
socket state to check whether it is the same.

For PCMCIA devices, move the detection and handling of such a
change to ds.c.

For CardBus devices, the PCI hotplug interface doesn't offer a "rescan"
facility which also _removes_ devices no longer to be found behind a
bridge. Therefore, remove and re-add all devices unconditionally.

7e6608724c nommu: fix shared mmap after truncate shrinkage problems
Fix a problem in NOMMU mmap with ramfs whereby a shared mmap can happen
over the end of a truncation.  The problem is that
ramfs_nommu_check_mappings() checks that the reduced file size against the
VMA tree, but not the vm_region tree.

The following sequence of events can cause the problem:

	fd = open("/tmp/x", O_RDWR|O_TRUNC|O_CREAT, 0600);
	ftruncate(fd, 32 * 1024);
	a = mmap(NULL, 32 * 1024, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);
	b = mmap(NULL, 16 * 1024, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);
	munmap(a, 32 * 1024);
	ftruncate(fd, 16 * 1024);
	c = mmap(NULL, 32 * 1024, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);

Mapping 'a' creates a vm_region covering 32KB of the file.  Mapping 'b'
sees that the vm_region from 'a' is covering the region it wants and so
shares it, pinning it in memory.

Mapping 'a' then goes away and the file is truncated to the end of VMA
'b'.  However, the region allocated by 'a' is still in effect, and has
_not_ been reduced.

Mapping 'c' is then created, and because there's a vm_region covering the
desired region, get_unmapped_area() is _not_ called to repeat the check,
and the mapping is granted, even though the pages from the latter half of
the mapping have been discarded.

However:

	d = mmap(NULL, 16 * 1024, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);

Mapping 'd' should work, and should end up sharing the region allocated by
'a'.

To deal with this, we shrink the vm_region struct during the truncation,
lest do_mmap_pgoff() take it as licence to share the full region
automatically without calling the get_unmapped_area() file op again.

cc8ef6eb21 kernel.h: add BUILD_BUG_ON_NOT_POWER_OF_2()
Add BUILD_BUG_ON_NOT_POWER_OF_2()

When code relies on a constant being a power of 2:

	#define FOO	512	/* must be a power of 2 */

it would be nice to be able to do:

	BUILD_BUG_ON(!is_power_of_2(FOO));

However applying an inline function does not result in a compile-time
constant that can be used with BUILD_BUG_ON(), so trying that gives
results in:

	error: bit-field '<anonymous>' width not an integer constant

As suggested by akpm, rather than monkeying around with is_power_of_2()
and risking gcc warts about constant expressions, just create a macro
BUILD_BUG_ON_NOT_POWER_OF_2() to encapsulate this common requirement.

64ce1037c5 kfifo: sanitize *_user error handling
Right now for kfifo_*_user it's not easily possible to distingush between
a user copy failing and the FIFO not containing enough data.  The problem
is that both conditions are multiplexed into the same return code.

Avoid this by moving the "copy length" into a separate output parameter
and only return 0/-EFAULT in the main return value.

I didn't fully adapt the weird "record" variants, those seem
to be unused anyways and were rather messy (should they be just removed?)

I would appreciate some double checking if I did all the conversions
correctly.

Before scheduling an event group, we first check if a group can go
on. We first check if the group is made of software only events
first, in which case it is enough to know if the group can be
scheduled in.

For that purpose, we iterate through the whole group, which is
wasteful as we could do this check when we add/delete an event to
a group.

So we create a group_flags field in perf event that can host
characteristics from a group of events, starting with a first
PERF_GROUP_SOFTWARE flag that reduces the check on the fast path.

5908cdc85e list: Introduce list_rotate_left()
Bring a new list_rotate_left() helper that rotates a list to
the left. This is useful for codes that need to round roubin
elements which queue priority increases from tail to head.

889ff01506 perf/core: Split context's event group list into pinned and non-pinned lists
Split-up struct perf_event_context::group_list into pinned_groups
and flexible_groups (non-pinned).

This first appears to be useless as it duplicates various loops around
the group list handlings.

But it scales better in the fast-path in perf_sched_in(). We don't
anymore iterate twice through the entire list to separate pinned and
non-pinned scheduling. Instead we interate through two distinct lists.

The another desired effect is that it makes easier to define distinct
scheduling rules on both.

Changes in v2:
- Respectively rename pinned_grp_list and
  volatile_grp_list into pinned_groups and flexible_groups as per
  Ingo suggestion.
- Various cleanups

c084ca704a ACPI: don't cond_resched if irq is disabled
commit 8bd108d adds preemption point after each opcode parse, then
a sleeping function called from invalid context bug was founded
during suspend/resume stage. this was fixed in commit abe1dfa by
don't cond_resched when irq_disabled. But recent commit 138d156 changes
the behaviour to don't cond_resched when in_atomic. This makes the
sleeping function called from invalid context bug happen again, which
is reported in http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/12/1/371.

This patch also fixes http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14483

3a4d5c94e9 vhost_net: a kernel-level virtio server
What it is: vhost net is a character device that can be used to reduce
the number of system calls involved in virtio networking.
Existing virtio net code is used in the guest without modification.

There's similarity with vringfd, with some differences and reduced scope
- uses eventfd for signalling
- structures can be moved around in memory at any time (good for
  migration, bug work-arounds in userspace)
- write logging is supported (good for migration)
- support memory table and not just an offset (needed for kvm)

common virtio related code has been put in a separate file vhost.c and
can be made into a separate module if/when more backends appear.  I used
Rusty's lguest.c as the source for developing this part : this supplied
me with witty comments I wouldn't be able to write myself.

What it is not: vhost net is not a bus, and not a generic new system
call. No assumptions are made on how guest performs hypercalls.
Userspace hypervisors are supported as well as kvm.

How it works: Basically, we connect virtio frontend (configured by
userspace) to a backend. The backend could be a network device, or a tap
device.  Backend is also configured by userspace, including vlan/mac
etc.

Status: This works for me, and I haven't see any crashes.
Compared to userspace, people reported improved latency (as I save up to
4 system calls per packet), as well as better bandwidth and CPU
utilization.

Features that I plan to look at in the future:
- mergeable buffers
- zero copy
- scalability tuning: figure out the best threading model to use

Note on RCU usage (this is also documented in vhost.h, near
private_pointer which is the value protected by this variant of RCU):
what is happening is that the rcu_dereference() is being used in a
workqueue item.  The role of rcu_read_lock() is taken on by the start of
execution of the workqueue item, of rcu_read_unlock() by the end of
execution of the workqueue item, and of synchronize_rcu() by
flush_workqueue()/flush_work(). In the future we might need to apply
some gcc attribute or sparse annotation to the function passed to
INIT_WORK(). Paul's ack below is for this RCU usage.

05c2828c72 tun: export underlying socket
Tun device looks similar to a packet socket
in that both pass complete frames from/to userspace.

This patch fills in enough fields in the socket underlying tun driver
to support sendmsg/recvmsg operations, and message flags
MSG_TRUNC and MSG_DONTWAIT, and exports access to this socket
to modules.  Regular read/write behaviour is unchanged.

This way, code using raw sockets to inject packets
into a physical device, can support injecting
packets into host network stack almost without modification.

First user of this interface will be vhost virtualization
accelerator.
