Mike Rapoport 1b0b30acf3 [MTD] [NOR] Add support for Eon EN29SL800B[BT] NOR flash chips
This patch add support for non-CFI Eon EN29SL800B[BT] NOR flash chips.
The Eon chips have manufacturer ID in the first bank, therefore this patch
depends on support for flash chips with ID in bank other than 0.

According to JEDEC "Standard Manufacturer's Identification Code"

Wilson Callan 2d7f16d6d1 m68knommu: fix signal handling return path
The return from software signal handling pushes code on the stack
that system calls to the kernels cleanup code. This is borrowed
directly from the m68k linux signal handler.

The rt signal case is not quite right for the restricted instruction
set of the ColdFire parts. And neither the normal signal case or rt
signal case properly flushes/pushes the appropriate cache lines.

Rework the return path to just call back through some code fragments
in the kernel proper (with no MMU in the way we can do this). No
cache problems, and less code overall.

Original patch submitted by Wilson Callan <wcallan@savantav.com>

Jeff Moyer 9d2de6ad2a autofs4: fix incorrect return from root.c:try_to_fill_dentry()
Jeff Moyer has identified a case where the autofs4 function
root.c:try_to_fill_dentry() can return -EBUSY when it should return 0.

Jeff's description of the way this happens is:

"automount starts an expire for directory d.  after the callout to the daemon,
but before the rmdir, another process tries to walk into the same directory.
It puts itself onto the waitq, pending the expiration.

When the expire finishes, the second process is woken up.  In
try_to_fill_dentry, it does this check:

                status = d_invalidate(dentry);
                if (status != -EBUSY)
                        return -EAGAIN;

And status is EBUSY.  The dentry still has a non-zero d_inode, and the
flags do not contain LOOKUP_CONTINUE or LOOKUP_DIRECTORY

So, we fall through and return -EBUSY to the caller."

Jeff Moyer 033790449b autofs4: fix execution order race in mount request code
Jeff Moyer has identified a race in due to an execution order dependency
in the autofs4 function root.c:try_to_fill_dentry().

Jeff's description of this race is:

"P1 does a lookup of /mount/submount/foo.  Since the VFS can't find an entry
for "foo" under /mount/submount, it calls into the autofs4 kernel module to
allocate a new dentry, D1.  The kernel creates a new waitq for this lookup and
calls the daemon to perform the mount.

The daemon performs a mkdir of the "foo" directory under /mount/submount,
which ends up creating a *new* dentry, D2.

Then, P2 does a lookup of /mount/submount/foo.  The VFS path walking logic
finds a dentry in the dcache, D2, and calls the revalidate function with this.
 In the autofs4 revalidate code, we then trigger a mount, since the dentry is
an empty directory that isn't a mountpoint, and so set DCACHE_AUTOFS_PENDING
and call into the wait code to trigger the mount.

The wait code finds our existing waitq entry (since it is keyed off of the
directory name) and adds itself to the list of waiters.

After the daemon finishes the mount, it calls back into the kernel to release
the waiters.  When this happens, P1 is woken up and goes about clearing the
DCACHE_AUTOFS_PENDING flag, but it does this in D1!  So, given that P1 in our
case is a program that will immediately try to access a file under
/mount/submount/foo, we end up finding the dentry D2 which still has the
pending flag set, and we set out to wait for a mount *again*!

So, one way to address this is to re-do the lookup at the end of
try_to_fill_dentry, and to clear the pending flag on the hashed dentry.  This
seems a sane approach to me."

And Jeff's patch does this.
