      Pull kdump fixes from Peter Anvin:
       "The kexec/kdump people have found several problems with the support
        for loading over 4 GiB that was introduced in this merge cycle.  This
        is partly due to a number of design problems inherent in the way the
        various pieces of kdump fit together (it is pretty horrifically manual
        in many places.)
      
        After a *lot* of iterations this is the patchset that was agreed upon,
        but of course it is now very late in the cycle.  However, because it
        changes both the syntax and semantics of the crashkernel option, it
        would be desirable to avoid a stable release with the broken
        interfaces."
      
      I'm not happy with the timing, since originally the plan was to release
      the final 3.9 tomorrow.  But apparently I'm doing an -rc8 instead...

      x86, microcode: Verify the family before dispatching microcode patching · 74c3e3fc
      H. Peter Anvin authored
      For each CPU vendor that implements CPU microcode patching, there will
      be a minimum family for which this is implemented.  Verify this
      minimum level of support.
      
      This can be done in the dispatch function or early in the application
      functions.  Doing the latter turned out to be somewhat awkward because
      of the ineviable split between the BSP and the AP paths, and rather
      than pushing deep into the application functions, do this in
      the dispatch function.

      When building ax88796 on an ARM platform with 64-bit resource_size_t,
      we currently get
      
      drivers/net/ethernet/8390/ax88796.c:875: undefined reference to `__aeabi_uldivmod'
      
      because we do a division on the length of the MMIO resource.
      Since we know that this resource is very short, using an
      "unsigned long" instead of "resource_size_t" is entirely
      sufficient, and avoids this link-time error.

      ====================
      This series adds workarounds for 3 different firmware bugs, each
      preventing the affected devices from working at all. I therefore
      humbly request that these fixes go to stable-3.8 (if still
      maintained) and 3.9 (either via net if still possible, or via
      stable if not).
      
      All 3 workarounds are applied to all devices supported by the driver.
      Adding quirks for specific devices was considered as an alternative,
      but was rejected because we have too little information about the
      exact distribution of the buggy firmwares. All we know is that the
      same bug shows up in devices from at least 3 different, and presumably
      independent, vendors.
      
      The workarounds have instead been designed to automatically apply
      when necessary, and to have as little impact as possible on unaffected
      devices.  The series has been tested on a number of devices both with
      and without these bugs.
      
      The series should apply cleanly to net/master, net-next/master and
      stable/linux-3.8.y

      We normally trust and use the CDC functional descriptors provided by a
      number of devices.  But some of these will erroneously list the address
      reserved for the device end of the link.  Attempting to use this on
      both the device and host side will naturally not work.
      
      Work around this bug by ignoring the functional descriptor and assign a
      random address instead in this case.

      The bogus address is always the same, and matches the address
      suggested by many devices as a default address.  It is likely a
      hardcoded firmware default.
      
      The circumstances where this bug has been observed indicates that
      the trigger is related to timing or some other factor the host
      cannot control. Repeating the exact same configuration sequence
      that caused it to trigger once, will not necessarily cause it to
      trigger the next time. Reproducing the bug is therefore difficult.
      This opens up a possibility that the bug is more common than we can
      confirm, because affected devices often will work properly again
      after a reset.  A procedure most users are likely to try out before
      reporting a bug.
      
      Unconditionally rewriting the destination address if the first digit
      of the received packet is 0, is considered an acceptable compromise
      since we already have to inspect this digit.  The simplification will
      cause unnecessary rewrites if the real address starts with 0, but this
      is still better than adding additional tests for this particular case.

      net: qmi_wwan: fixup missing ethernet header (firmware bug workaround) · 6ff509af
      Bjørn Mork authored
      A number of LTE devices from different vendors all suffer from the
      same firmware bug: Most of the packets received from the device while
      it is attached to a LTE network will not have an ethernet header. The
      devices work as expected when attached to 2G or 3G networks, sending
      an ethernet header with all packets.
      
      This driver is not aware of which network the modem attached to, and
      even if it were there are still some packet types which are always
      received with the header intact.
      
      All devices supported by this driver have severely limited
      networking capabilities:
       - can only transmit IPv4, IPv6 and possibly ARP
       - can only support a single host hardware address at any time
       - will only do point-to-point communcation with the host
      
      Because of this, we are able to reliably identify any bogus raw IP
      packets by simply looking at the 4 IP version bits.  All we need to
      do is to avoid 4 or 6 in the first digit of the mac address.  This
      workaround ensures this, and fix up the received packets as necessary.
      
      Given the distribution of the bug, it is believed that the source is
      the chipset vendor.  The devices which are verified to be affected are:
       Huawei E392u-12 (Qualcomm MDM9200)
       Pantech UML290  (Qualcomm MDM9600)
       Novatel USB551L (Qualcomm MDM9600)
       Novatel E362    (Qualcomm MDM9600)
      
      It is believed that the bug depend on firmware revision, which means
      that possibly all devices based on the above mentioned chipset may be
      affected if we consider all available firmware revisions.
      
      The information about affected devices and versions is likely
      incomplete.  As the additional overhead for packets not needing this
      fixup is very small, it is considered acceptable to apply the
      workaround to all devices handled by this driver.

      ====================
      This patch-set fixes mainly bugs on enslave failure and one occasion
      of a needed locking. The patches are:
      
      	1. On enslave failure mc addresses are not flushed from the slave
      	2. On enslave failure vlans are not cleaned up from the slave
      	3. On enslave failure the bond's primary and curr_active_slave
      	   are not cleaned up (which might result in use of freed memory)
      	4. On enslave failure netpoll is not disabled which might result in
      	   a memory leak
      	5. In bond_mc_swap() the bond's mc addr list is walked without
      	   netif_addr_lock, since it can be called without rtnl, add it
      
      v2: patch 01 - fix log message and remove unnecessary code move

      Use netif_addr_lock_bh() to acquire the appropriate lock before walking.

      bonding: disable netpoll on enslave failure · fc7a72ac
      nikolay@redhat.com authored
      slave_disable_netpoll() is not called upon enslave failure which would
      lead to a memory leak. Call slave_disable_netpoll() after err_detach as
      that's the first error path after enabling netpoll on that slave.

      bonding: primary_slave & curr_active_slave are not cleaned on enslave failure · 3c5913b5
      nikolay@redhat.com authored
      On enslave failure primary_slave can point to new_slave which is to be
      freed, and the same applies to curr_active_slave. So check if this is
      the case and clean up properly after err_detach because that's the first
      error code path after they're set.

      The main problem is with vid refcount which only gets bumped up.
      Delete the vlans after err_detach as that's the first error path
      after the vlans are added.

      Fix to return -EINVAL when tb[TCA_FW_MASK] is set and head->mask != 0xFFFFFFFF
      instead of 0 (ifdef CONFIG_NET_CLS_IND and tb[TCA_FW_INDEV]), as done elsewhere
