      Pull a Xen fix from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk:
       "It is a bug-fix when we run the initial PV guest on a AMD K8 machine
        and have CONFIG_AMD_NUMA enabled and detect the NUMA topology from the
        Northbridge.
      
        We end up in the situation where the initial domain gets too much
        information and gets confused and crashes - the fix is to restrict the
        domain to get the information - and we do it by just disabling NUMA on
        the PV guest (the hypervisor is still able to do its proper NUMA
        allocations of guests).
      
        It is OK to disable the PV guest from accessing NUMA data as right now
        we do not inject any NUMA node information to the PV guests.  When we
        do get to that point, then this patch will have to be reverted."

      tile: gxio iorpc numbering change for TRIO interface · e70cf540
      Chris Metcalf authored
      An ABI numbering change was made in the hypervisor for Tilera's 4.1
      MDE release (just shipped).  It's incompatible with the previous 4.0
      release ABI numbering, so we track the new numbering going forward.
      We plan to avoid modifying ABI numbering for these interfaces again.

      xen/boot: Disable NUMA for PV guests. · 8d54db79
      Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk authored
      The hypervisor is in charge of allocating the proper "NUMA" memory
      and dealing with the CPU scheduler to keep them bound to the proper
      NUMA node. The PV guests (and PVHVM) have no inkling of where they
      run and do not need to know that right now. In the future we will
      need to inject NUMA configuration data (if a guest spans two or more
      NUMA nodes) so that the kernel can make the right choices. But those
      patches are not yet present.
      
      In the meantime, disable the NUMA capability in the PV guest, which
      also fixes a bootup issue. Andre says:
      
      "we see Dom0 crashes due to the kernel detecting the NUMA topology not
      by ACPI, but directly from the northbridge (CONFIG_AMD_NUMA).
      
      This will detect the actual NUMA config of the physical machine, but
      will crash about the mismatch with Dom0's virtual memory. Variation of
      the theme: Dom0 sees what it's not supposed to see.
      
      This happens with the said config option enabled and on a machine where
      this scanning is still enabled (K8 and Fam10h, not Bulldozer class)
      
      We have this dump then:

      edac_mc: edac_mc_free() cannot assume mem_ctl_info is registered in sysfs. · faa2ad09
      Shaun Ruffell authored
      Fix potential NULL pointer dereference in edac_unregister_sysfs() on
      system boot introduced in 3.6-rc1.
      
      Since commit 7a623c03 ("edac: rewrite the sysfs code to use struct
      device") edac_mc_alloc() no longer initializes embedded kobjects in
      struct mem_ctl_info.  Therefore edac_mc_free() can no longer simply
      decrement a kobject reference count to free the allocated memory unless
      the memory controller driver module had also called edac_mc_add_mc().
      
      Now edac_mc_free() will check if the newly embedded struct device has
      been registered with sysfs before using either the standard device
      release functions or freeing the data structures itself with logic
      pulled out of the error path of edac_mc_alloc().
      
      The BUG this patch resolves for me:

         432          }
      
      and that code block seem to mess things up in several ways (double free, memory
      leak, out-of-bound reads etc.):
      
      L422: The iterator "chn" and bound "tot_channels" are totally wrong. Should be
            "row" and "tot_csrows" respectively. Which means either memory leak, or
            out-of-bound reads (which if does not trigger an immediate page fault
            error, will further lead to kfree() on random addresses).
      
      L425: The inner loop is reusing the same iterator "chn" as the outer loop,
            which could lead to premature end of the outer loop, and hence memory leak.
      
      L429: The array index 'i' in mci->csrows[i] is a temporary value used in
            previous loops, and won't change at all in the current loop. Which
            means either out-of-bound read and possibly kfree(random number), or the
            same mci->csrows[i] get freed once and again, and possibly double free
            for the kfree(csr) in L427.
      
      L426/L427: a kfree(csr->channels) is needed in between to avoid leaking the memory.
      
      The buggy code was introduced by commit de3910eb ("edac: change the mem
      allocation scheme to make Documentation/kobject.txt happy") in the 3.6-rc1
      merge window. Fix it by freeing up resources in this order:
      
        free csrows[i]->channels[j]
        free csrows[i]->channels
        free csrows[i]
        free csrows

      HID: Fix logitech-dj: missing Unifying device issue · 59626408
      Nestor Lopez Casado authored
      This patch fixes an issue introduced after commit 4ea54542
      ("HID: Fix race condition between driver core and ll-driver").
      
      After that commit, hid-core discards any incoming packet that arrives while
      hid driver's probe function is being executed.
      
      This broke the enumeration process of hid-logitech-dj, that must receive
      control packets in-band with the mouse and keyboard packets. Discarding mouse
      or keyboard data at the very begining is usually fine, but it is not the case
      for control packets.
      
      This patch forces a re-enumeration of the paired devices when a packet arrives
      that comes from an unknown device.
      
      Based on a patch originally written by Benjamin Tissoires.
