      * corruption fix: we only want the lower 16 bits of length (0 == 64kb)
      
      * ditto: the upper layer sets max-phys-segments to LIBATA_MAX_PRD,
        so we must reset it to own hw-specific length.

      Implement show_unhandled_signals sysctl + support to print when a process
      is killed due to unhandled signals just as i386 and x86_64 does.
      
      Default to having it off, unlike x86 that defaults on.

      [POWERPC] Add legacy serial support for OPB with flattened device tree · b63db45c
      Valentine Barshak authored
      Currently find_legacy_serial_ports() can find no serial ports on the
      OPB with flattened device tree.  Thus no legacy boot console can be
      initialized.  Just the early udbg console works, which is initialized
      with udbg_init_44x_as1 on the UART's physical address specified in
      kernel config.  This happens because we look for ns16750 serial
      devices only and expect opb node to have a device type property.  This
      patch makes it look for ns16550-compatible devices and use
      of_device_is_compatible() for opb in case device type is not
      specified.

      [POWERPC] Use 1TB segments · 1189be65
      Paul Mackerras authored
      This makes the kernel use 1TB segments for all kernel mappings and for
      user addresses of 1TB and above, on machines which support them
      (currently POWER5+, POWER6 and PA6T).
      
      We detect that the machine supports 1TB segments by looking at the
      ibm,processor-segment-sizes property in the device tree.
      
      We don't currently use 1TB segments for user addresses < 1T, since
      that would effectively prevent 32-bit processes from using huge pages
      unless we also had a way to revert to using 256MB segments.  That
      would be possible but would involve extra complications (such as
      keeping track of which segment size was used when HPTEs were inserted)
      and is not addressed here.
      
      Parts of this patch were originally written by Ben Herrenschmidt.

      Some custom implementations of the xilinx fb can use resolutions other
      than 640x480.  This patch allows the resolution to be specified in the

      [NET]: Fix NAPI completion handling in some drivers. · 6f535763
      David S. Miller authored
      In order for the list handling in net_rx_action() to be
      correct, drivers must follow certain rules as stated by
      this comment in net_rx_action():
      
      		/* Drivers must not modify the NAPI state if they
      		 * consume the entire weight.  In such cases this code
      		 * still "owns" the NAPI instance and therefore can
      		 * move the instance around on the list at-will.
      		 */
      
      A few drivers do not do this because they mix the budget checks
      with reading hardware state, resulting in crashes like the one
      reported by takano@axe-inc.co.jp.
      
      BNX2 and TG3 are taken care of here, SKY2 fix is from Stephen
      Hemminger.

      [TCP]: Limit processing lost_retrans loop to work-to-do cases · b08d6cb2
      Ilpo Järvinen authored
      This addition of lost_retrans_low to tcp_sock might be
      unnecessary, it's not clear how often lost_retrans worker is
      executed when there wasn't work to do.

      [TCP]: Fix lost_retrans loop vs fastpath problems · f785a8e2
      Ilpo Järvinen authored
      Detection implemented with lost_retrans must work also when
      fastpath is taken, yet most of the queue is skipped including
      (very likely) those retransmitted skb's we're interested in.
      This problem appeared when the hints got added, which removed
      a need to always walk over the whole write queue head.
      Therefore decicion for the lost_retrans worker loop entry must
      be separated from the sacktag processing more than it was
      necessary before.
      
      It turns out to be problematic to optimize the worker loop
      very heavily because ack_seqs of skb may have a number of
      discontinuity points. Maybe similar approach as currently is
      implemented could be attempted but that's becoming more and
      more complex because the trend is towards less skb walking
      in sacktag marker. Trying a simple work until all rexmitted
      skbs heve been processed approach.
      
      Maybe after(highest_sack_end_seq, tp->high_seq) checking is not
      sufficiently accurate and causes entry too often in no-work-to-do
      cases. Since that's not known, I've separated solution to that
      from this patch.
      
      Noticed because of report against a related problem from TAKANO
      Ryousei <takano@axe-inc.co.jp>. He also provided a patch to
      that part of the problem. This patch includes solution to it
      (though this patch has to use somewhat different placement).
      TAKANO's description and patch is available here:
      
        http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=119149311913288&w=2
      
      ...In short, TAKANO's problem is that end_seq the loop is using
      not necessarily the largest SACK block's end_seq because the
      current ACK may still have higher SACK blocks which are later
      by the loop.

      Both sacked_out and fackets_out are directly known from how
      parameter. Since fackets_out is accurate, there's no need for
      recounting (sacked_out was previously unnecessarily counted
      in the loop anyway).

      [TCP]: Add bytes_acked (ABC) clearing to FRTO too · 16e90681
      Ilpo Järvinen authored
      I was reading tcp_enter_loss while looking for Cedric's bug and
      noticed bytes_acked adjustment is missing from FRTO side.
      
      Since bytes_acked will only be used in tcp_cong_avoid, I think
      it's safe to assume RTO would be spurious. During FRTO cwnd
      will be not controlled by tcp_cong_avoid and if FRTO calls for
      conventional recovery, cwnd is adjusted and the result of wrong
      assumption is cleared from bytes_acked. If RTO was in fact
      spurious, we did normal ABC already and can continue without
      any additional adjustments.
