      Make the "word-at-a-time" helper functions more commonly usable · f68e556e
      Linus Torvalds authored
      I have a new optimized x86 "strncpy_from_user()" that will use these
      same helper functions for all the same reasons the name lookup code uses
      them.  This is preparation for that.
      
      This moves them into an architecture-specific header file.  It's
      architecture-specific for two reasons:
      
       - some of the functions are likely to want architecture-specific
         implementations.  Even if the current code happens to be "generic" in
         the sense that it should work on any little-endian machine, it's
         likely that the "multiply by a big constant and shift" implementation
         is less than optimal for an architecture that has a guaranteed fast
         bit count instruction, for example.
      
       - I expect that if architectures like sparc want to start playing
         around with this, we'll need to abstract out a few more details (in
         particular the actual unaligned accesses).  So we're likely to have
         more architecture-specific stuff if non-x86 architectures start using
         this.
      
         (and if it turns out that non-x86 architectures don't start using
         this, then having it in an architecture-specific header is still the
         right thing to do, of course)

      cpuidle: Fix panic in CPU off-lining with no idle driver · ee01e663
      Toshi Kani authored
      Fix a NULL pointer dereference panic in cpuidle_play_dead() during
      CPU off-lining when no cpuidle driver is registered.  A cpuidle
      driver may be registered at boot-time based on CPU type.  This patch
      allows an off-lined CPU to enter HLT-based idle in this condition.

      Pull networking updates from David Miller:
      
       1) Fix inaccuracies in network driver interface documentation, from Ben
          Hutchings.
      
       2) Fix handling of negative offsets in BPF JITs, from Jan Seiffert.
      
       3) Compile warning, locking, and refcounting fixes in netfilter's
          xt_CT, from Pablo Neira Ayuso.
      
       4) phonet sendmsg needs to validate user length just like any other
          datagram protocol, fix from Sasha Levin.
      
       5) Ipv6 multicast code uses wrong loop index, from RongQing Li.
      
       6) Link handling and firmware fixes in bnx2x driver from Yaniv Rosner
          and Yuval Mintz.
      
       7) mlx4 erroneously allocates 4 pages at a time, regardless of page
          size, fix from Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo.
      
       8) SCTP socket option wasn't extended in a backwards compatible way,
          fix from Thomas Graf.
      
       9) Add missing address change event emissions to bonding, from Shlomo
          Pongratz.
      
      10) /proc/net/dev regressed because it uses a private offset to track
          where we are in the hash table, but this doesn't track the offset
          pullback that the seq_file code does resulting in some entries being
          missed in large dumps.
      
          Fix from Eric Dumazet.
      
      11) do_tcp_sendpage() unloads the send queue way too fast, because it
          invokes tcp_push() when it shouldn't.  Let the natural sequence
          generated by the splice paths, and the assosciated MSG_MORE
          settings, guide the tcp_push() calls.
      
          Otherwise what goes out of TCP is spaghetti and doesn't batch
          effectively into GSO/TSO clusters.
      
          From Eric Dumazet.
      
      12) Once we put a SKB into either the netlink receiver's queue or a
          socket error queue, it can be consumed and freed up, therefore we
          cannot touch it after queueing it like that.
      
          Fixes from Eric Dumazet.
      
      13) PPP has this annoying behavior in that for every transmit call it
          immediately stops the TX queue, then calls down into the next layer
          to transmit the PPP frame.
      
          But if that next layer can take it immediately, it just un-stops the
          TX queue right before returning from the transmit method.
      
          Besides being useless work, it makes several facilities unusable, in
          particular things like the equalizers.  Well behaved devices should
          only stop the TX queue when they really are full, and in PPP's case
          when it gets backlogged to the downstream device.
      
          David Woodhouse therefore fixed PPP to not stop the TX queue until
          it's downstream can't take data any more.
      
      14) IFF_UNICAST_FLT got accidently lost in some recent stmmac driver
          changes, re-add.  From Marc Kleine-Budde.
      
      15) Fix link flaps in ixgbe, from Eric W. Multanen.
      
      16) Descriptor writeback fixes in e1000e from Matthew Vick.

      xen/pcifront: avoid pci_frontend_enable_msix() falsely returning success · f09d8432
      Jan Beulich authored
      The original XenoLinux code has always had things this way, and for
      compatibility reasons (in particular with a subsequent pciback
      adjustment) upstream Linux should behave the same way (allowing for two
      distinct error indications to be returned by the backend).

      xen/pciback: fix XEN_PCI_OP_enable_msix result · 0ee46eca
      Jan Beulich authored
      Prior to 2.6.19 and as of 2.6.31, pci_enable_msix() can return a
      positive value to indicate the number of vectors (less than the amount
      requested) that can be set up for a given device. Returning this as an
      operation value (secondary result) is fine, but (primary) operation
      results are expected to be negative (error) or zero (success) according
      to the protocol. With the frontend fixed to match the XenoLinux
      behavior, the backend can now validly return zero (success) here,
      passing the upper limit on the number of vectors in op->value.

      The reason we are dying is b/c the call acpi_get_override_irq() is used,
      which returns the polarity and trigger for the IRQs. That function calls
      mp_find_ioapics to get the 'struct ioapic' structure - which along with the
      mp_irq[x] is used to figure out the default values and the polarity/trigger
      overrides. Since the mp_find_ioapics now returns -1 [b/c the IOAPIC is filled
      with 0xffffffff], the acpi_get_override_irq() stops trying to lookup in the
      mp_irq[x] the proper INT_SRV_OVR and we can't install the SCI interrupt.
      
      The proper fix for this is going in v3.5 and adds an x86_io_apic_ops
      struct so that platforms can override it. But for v3.4 lets carry this
      work-around. This patch does that by providing a slightly different variant
      of the fake IOAPIC entries.

      regmap: introduce explicit bus_context for bus callbacks · 0135bbcc
      Stephen Warren authored
      The only context needed by I2C and SPI bus definitions is the device
      itself; this can be converted to an i2c_client or spi_device in order
      to perform IO on the device. However, other bus types may need more
      context in order to perform IO. Enable this by having regmap_init accept
      a bus_context parameter, and pass this to all bus callbacks. The
      existing callbacks simply pass the struct device here. Future bus types
      may pass something else.
