This patch introduces memory_read_from_buffer().
The only difference between memory_read_from_buffer() and
simple_read_from_buffer() is which address space the function copies to.
simple_read_from_buffer copies to user space memory.
memory_read_from_buffer copies to normal memory.

ip_fast_csum() requires a memory clobber on its inline asm as it accesses
memory in a fashion that gcc can't predict.
The GCC manual says:
If your assembler instructions access memory in an unpredictable
fashion, add `memory' to the list of clobbered registers. This will
cause GCC to not keep memory values cached in registers across the
assembler instruction and not optimize stores or loads to that memory.
The bug hasn't been noticed in FRV, but it has been seen in PA-RISC.

- Make ata_sff_altstatus private so nobody uses it by mistake
- Drop the 400nS delay from it
Add
ata_sff_irq_status - encapsulates the IRQ check logic
This function keeps the existing behaviour for altstatus using devices. I
actually suspect the logic was wrong before the changes but -rc isn't the
time to play with that
ata_sff_sync - ensure writes hit the device
Really we want an io* operation for 'is posted' eg ioisposted(ioaddr) so
that we can fix the nasty delay this causes on most systems.
- ata_sff_pause - 400nS delay
Ensure the command hit the device and delay 400nS
- ata_sff_dma_pause
Ensure the I/O hit the device and enforce an HDMA1:0 transition delay.
Requires altstatus register exists, BUG if not so we don't risk
corruption in MWDMA modes. (UDMA the checksum will save your backside in
theory)
The only other complication then is devices with their own handlers.
rb532 can use dma_pause but scc needs to access its own altstatus
register for internal errata workarounds so directly call the drivers own
altstatus function.

The tty layer provides a callback that is used when the line discipline
is changed. Some hardware uses this to configure hardware specific
features such as IrDA mode on serial ports. Unfortunately the serial
layer does not provide this feature or pass it down to drivers.
Blackfin used to hack around this by rewriting the tty ops, but those are
now properly shared and const so the hack fails. Instead provide the
proper operations.
This change plus a follow up from the Blackfin guys is needed to avoid

As noted by Matthew Wilcox:
Kyle McMartin just tracked down a bug on parisc to a missing
"memory" clobber in the inline assembly implementation of
ip_fast_csum. The FRV, SH and Xtensa ports are also missing a
memory clobber, so I thought it would be polite to let you know.
The bug manifests as dropped network packets (obviously they have
the wrong checksum). It started appearing for parisc with GCC 4.3.
The GCC manual says:
If your assembler instructions access memory in an unpredictable
fashion, add `memory' to the list of clobbered registers. This
will cause GCC to not keep memory values cached in registers
across the assembler instruction and not optimize stores or loads
to that memory.
I see that FRV has a 400 byte memory output which may prevent this
problem from appearing, but SH and Xtensa have nothing to prevent
this bug. Hope this saves you a few days of debugging.

Source code out there hard-codes a notion of what the
_LINUX_CAPABILITY_VERSION #define means in terms of the semantics of the
raw capability system calls capget() and capset(). Its unfortunate, but
true.
Since the confusing header file has been in a released kernel, there is
software that is erroneously using 64-bit capabilities with the semantics
of 32-bit compatibilities. These recently compiled programs may suffer
corruption of their memory when sys_getcap() overwrites more memory than
they are coded to expect, and the raising of added capabilities when using
sys_capset().
As such, this patch does a number of things to clean up the situation
for all. It
1. forces the _LINUX_CAPABILITY_VERSION define to always retain its
legacy value.
2. adopts a new #define strategy for the kernel's internal
implementation of the preferred magic.
3. deprecates v2 capability magic in favor of a new (v3) magic
number. The functionality of v3 is entirely equivalent to v2,
the only difference being that the v2 magic causes the kernel
to log a "deprecated" warning so the admin can find applications
that may be using v2 inappropriately.
[User space code continues to be encouraged to use the libcap API which
protects the application from details like this. libcap-2.10 is the first
to support v3 capabilities.]

The SW_RADIO code for EV_SW events has a name that is not descriptive
enough of its intended function, and could induce someone to think
KEY_RADIO is its EV_KEY counterpart, which is false.
Rename it to SW_RFKILL_ALL, and document what this event is for. Keep
the old name around, to avoid userspace ABI breaks.
The SW_RFKILL_ALL event is meant to be used by rfkill master switches. It
is not bound to a particular radio switch type, and usually applies to all
types. It is semantically tied to master rfkill switches that enable or

virtio allows drivers to suppress callbacks (ie. interrupts) for
efficiency (no locking, it's just an optimization).
There's a similar mechanism for the host to suppress notifications
coming from the guest: in that case, we ignore the suppression if the
ring is completely full.
It turns out that life is simpler if the host similarly ignores
callback suppression when the ring is completely empty: the network
driver wants to free up old packets in a timely manner, and otherwise
has to use a timer to poll.
We have to remove the code which ignores interrupts when the driver
has disabled them (again, it had no locking and hence was unreliable
anyway).

Note that by itself, having a "hardware" random generator does very
little: you should probably run "rngd" in your guest to feed this into
the kernel entropy pool.
Included:
virtio_rng: dont use vmalloced addresses for virtio
If virtio_rng is build as a module, random_data is an address
in vmalloc space. As virtio expects guest real addresses, this
can cause any kind of funny behaviour, so lets allocate

this change also improves lat_ctx from 6.69 usecs to 1.11 usec:

$ ./lat_ctx -s 0 2
"size=0k ovr=1.22

in sysbench it's an overall win with some weakness at the lots-of-clients
side. That happens because we now under-balance this workload
a bit. To counter that effect, turn on NEWIDLE:
wake-idle wake-idle+newidle
-------------------------------------------------
1: 830 834 +0.43%
2: 1391 1401 +0.65%

256: 8144 8384 +2.87%
-------------------------------------------------
SUM: 57882 58591 +1.21%
as a bonus this not only improves the many-clients case but
also improves the (more important) rampup phase.
sysbench is a workload that quickly breaks down if the
scheduler over-balances, so since it showed an improvement
under NEWIDLE this change is definitely good.

This doesn't work if SLAB is selected and slab debugging is enabled as
these are passed to the preprocessor, and the preprocessor doesn't
understand sizeof.

Specify the minimum slab/kmalloc alignment to be 8 bytes. This fixes a
crash when SLOB is selected as the memory allocator. The FRV arch needs
this so that it can use the load- and store-double instructions without
faulting. By default SLOB sets the minimum to be 4 bytes.

Currently it uses a single static char array, but that risks
being corrupted when multiple users issue message notes at the
same time. Make the buffers dynamically allocated when the trace
is setup and make them per-cpu instead.
The default max message size of 1k is also very large, the
interface is mainly for small text notes. So shrink it to 128 bytes.

Problem: An application violating the architectural rules regarding
operation dependencies and having specific Register Stack Engine (RSE)
state at the time of the violation, may result in an illegal operation
fault and invalid RSE state. Such faults may initiate a cascade of
repeated illegal operation faults within OS interruption handlers.
The specific behavior is OS dependent.
Implication: An application causing an illegal operation fault with
specific RSE state may result in a series of illegal operation faults
and an eventual OS stack overflow condition.
Workaround: OS interruption handlers that switch to kernel backing
store implement a check for invalid RSE state to avoid the series
of illegal operation faults.
The core of the workaround is the RSE_WORKAROUND code sequence
inserted into each invocation of the SAVE_MIN_WITH_COVER and
SAVE_MIN_WITH_COVER_R19 macros. This sequence includes hard-coded
constants that depend on the number of stacked physical registers
being 96. The rest of this patch consists of code to disable this
workaround should this not be the case (with the presumption that
if a future Itanium processor increases the number of registers, it
would also remove the need for this patch).
Move the start of the RBS up to a mod32 boundary to avoid some
corner cases.
The dispatch_illegal_op_fault code outgrew the spot it was
squatting in when built with this patch and CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING=y
Move it out to the end of the ivt.

Based on Roland's patch. This approach was suggested by Austin Clements
from the very beginning, and then by Linus.
As Austin pointed out, the execing task can be killed by SI_TIMER signal
because exec flushes the signal handlers, but doesn't discard the pending
signals generated by posix timers. Perhaps not a bug, but people find this
surprising. See http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10460

When we get any IO error during a recovery (rebuilding a spare), we abort
the recovery and restart it.
For RAID6 (and multi-drive RAID1) it may not be best to restart at the
beginning: when multiple failures can be tolerated, the recovery may be
able to continue and re-doing all that has already been done doesn't make
sense.
We already have the infrastructure to record where a recovery is up to
and restart from there, but it is not being used properly.
This is because:
- We sometimes abort with MD_RECOVERY_ERR rather than just MD_RECOVERY_INTR,
which causes the recovery not be be checkpointed.
- We remove spares and then re-added them which loses important state
information.
The distinction between MD_RECOVERY_ERR and MD_RECOVERY_INTR really isn't
needed. If there is an error, the relevant drive will be marked as
Faulty, and that is enough to ensure correct handling of the error. So we
first remove MD_RECOVERY_ERR, changing some of the uses of it to
MD_RECOVERY_INTR.
Then we cause the attempt to remove a non-faulty device from an array to
fail (unless recovery is impossible as the array is too degraded). Then
when remove_and_add_spares attempts to remove the devices on which
recovery can continue, it will fail, they will remain in place, and
recovery will continue on them as desired.
Issue: If we are halfway through rebuilding a spare and another drive
fails, and a new spare is immediately available, do we want to:
1/ complete the current rebuild, then go back and rebuild the new spare or
2/ restart the rebuild from the start and rebuild both devices in
parallel.
Both options can be argued for. The code currently takes option 2 as
a/ this requires least code change
b/ this results in a minimally-degraded array in minimal time.

In some configurations, a raid6 resync can be limited by CPU speed
(Calculating P and Q and moving data) rather than by device speed. In
these cases there is nothing to be gained byt serialising resync of arrays
that share a device, and doing the resync in parallel can provide benefit.
So add a sysfs tunable to flag an array as being allowed to resync in
parallel with other arrays that use (a different part of) the same device.

CR4 manipulation is not protected against interrupts and preemption,
but KVM uses smp_function_call to manipulate the X86_CR4_VMXE bit
either from the CPU hotplug code or from the kvm_init call.
We need to protect the CR4 manipulation from both interrupts and
preemption.
