Fix a bug and a philosophical decision about who handles errors. security_context_to_sid_core() was leaking a context in the common case. This was causing problems on fedora systems which recently have started making extensive use of this function. In discussion it was decided that if string_to_context_struct() had an error it was its own responsibility to clean up any mess it created along the way.

The allocated RX buffer size was 64 bytes bigger than the PCI mapped size with no good reason. If the packet was actually using the buffer up to its limit and if the last 64 bytes of the buffer crossed 4KB boundary then an unmapped PCI page was accessed. The fix is to use only one parameter for the buffer size - there is no need to differentiate between the buffer size and the PCI mapping size since the extra 64 bytes can actually be used by the FW to align the Ethernet payload to 64 bytes.

This patch "iwlwifi: do not use GFP_DMA in iwl_tx_queue_init" removes GFP_DMA from allocation tx command buffers. GFP_DMA allows allocation only for memory under 16M which causes allocation problems suspend/resume flows. Using kmalloc is temporal solution and some consistent/coherent allocation schema will be more correct. Since iwlwifi hardware supports 64bit address this solution should work on x86 (32 and 64bit) for now. This patch fixes memory freeing problem in the previous patch.

This patch fixes rx_chain computation. The code that adjusts number of rx chains to number supported by HW was missing. Miss configuration causes firmware error. Note: iwlwifi supports HW with up to 3 RX chains (2x2, 2x3, 1x2, and 3x3 MIMO). This patch also simplifies the whole RX chain computation.

This patch fixes the wrong use MIMO power save values. Our TX was configured with our MIMO power save values instead of peer's MIMO power save values, this may affect connectivity. The peer STA/AP may not sense our traffic at all as it doesn't have all RX chains opened.

Rx chain might change during power save transitions but it doesn't require sending Full-ROXN command to the firmware. Full-RXON requires reconnection to an AP and thus affects user experience. The patch avoids the Full-RXON by removing the rx_chain modification check in iwl_full_rxon_required function.

This patch is a W/A for the TSF sync issue in IBSS merging. HW is not capable to sync TSF (it's constantly little behind). This creates constant IBSS merging upon reception of each beacon, adding and removing station which in turn creates above 50% packet loss and thus dramatically degrade the throughput. The W/A simply stops the driver from declaring it has a reliable TSF value and thus eliminates IBSS merging.

The calculation to get TI_CPU based off of SPRG3 was just plain wrong, meaning that we were getting garbage for the CPU number on 6xx/G3/G4 based SMP boxes in this code. Just offset off the stack pointer (to get to thread_info) like all the other references to TI_CPU do.

This bug is causing random crashes (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11414). -fno-omit-frame-pointer is only needed on powerpc when -pg is also supplied, and there is a gcc bug that causes incorrect code generation on 32-bit powerpc when -fno-omit-frame-pointer is used---it uses stack locations below the stack pointer, which is not allowed by the ABI because those locations can and sometimes do get corrupted by an interrupt. This ensures that CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is only selected by ftrace. When CONFIG_FTRACE is enabled we also pass -mno-sched-epilog to work around the gcc codegen bug.

This makes core_kernel_text() (and therefore kernel_text_address()) return the correct result. Currently all the __devinit routines (at least) will not be considered to be kernel text.

Commit bc033b63 ("powerpc/mm: Fix attribute confusion with htab_bolt_mapping()") moved the check for whether we should make pages of the linear mapping executable from htab_bolt_mapping into its callers, including htab_initialize. A side-effect of this is that the decision is now made once for each contiguous section in the LMB array rather than for each page individually. This can often mean that the whole of the linear mapping ends up being executable. This reverts to the previous behaviour, where individual pages are checked for being part of the kernel text or not, by moving the check back down into htab_bolt_mapping.

This fixes an uninitialised variable in the VSX alignment code. It can cause warnings from GCC (noticed with gcc-4.1.1). Gcc is actually correct in this instance, and this bug could cause the alignment interrupt handler to send a SIGSEGV to the process on a legitimate access.
