The code waits in a busy loop until the hardware finishes the encryption
or decryption process. This wants a cpu_relax() :)
The busy loop finishes either if the encryption is done or if the counter
is zero. If the latter is true than the hardware failed. Since this
should not happen, leave sith a BUG().

This patch implements CTR mode for IPsec.
It is based off of RFC 3686.
Please note:
1. CTR turns a block cipher into a stream cipher.
Encryption is done in blocks, however the last block
may be a partial block.
A "counter block" is encrypted, creating a keystream
that is xor'ed with the plaintext. The counter portion
of the counter block is incremented after each block
of plaintext is encrypted.
Decryption is performed in same manner.
2. The CTR counterblock is composed of,
nonce + IV + counter
The size of the counterblock is equivalent to the
blocksize of the cipher.
sizeof(nonce) + sizeof(IV) + sizeof(counter) = blocksize
The CTR template requires the name of the cipher
algorithm, the sizeof the nonce, and the sizeof the iv.
ctr(cipher,sizeof_nonce,sizeof_iv)
So for example,
ctr(aes,4,8)
specifies the counterblock will be composed of 4 bytes
from a nonce, 8 bytes from the iv, and 4 bytes for counter
since aes has a blocksize of 16 bytes.
3. The counter portion of the counter block is stored
in big endian for conformance to rfc 3686.

Roman Zippel pointed out that kconfig supported string compares so
the additional complexity introduced by the above two patches were
not needed.
With this patch we have following behaviour:

ARCH=i386 | 32bit | 32bit
ARCH=x86_64 | 64bit | 64bit
The general rule are that ARCH= and native architecture takes
precedence over the configuration.
So make ARCH=i386 [whatever] will always build a 32-bit kernel
no matter what the configuration says. The configuration will
be updated to 32-bit if it was configured to 64-bit and the
other way around.
This behaviour is consistent with previous behaviour so no
suprises here.
make ARCH=x86 will per default result in a 32-bit kernel but as

Attempt to fix http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8378
Hiroto Shibuya wrote to tell me that he has a VIA EPIA-EK10000 which
suffers from the reboot problem when no keyboard is attached. My first
patch works for him:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=59f4e7d572980a521b7bdba74ab71b21f5995538
But the latest patch does not work for him :
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=8b93789808756bcc1e5c90c99f1b1ef52f839a51
We found that it was necessary to also set the "disable keyboard" flag in
the command byte, as the first patch was doing. The second patch tries to
minimally modify the command byte, but it is not enough.
Please consider this simple one-line patch to help people with low end VIA
motherboards reboot when no keyboard is attached. Hiroto Shibuya has
verified that this works for him (as I no longer have an afflicted
machine).
Additional discussion:
Note that original patch from Truxton DOES
disable keyboard and this has been in main tree since 2.6.14, thus it must have
quite a bit of air time already.
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.14.y.git;a=commit;h=59f4e7d572980a521b7bdba74ab71b21f5995538
Note that he only mention "System flag" in the description and comment, but
in the code, "disable keyboard" flag is set.
outb(0x14, 0x60); /* set "System flag" */
In 2.6.23, he made a change to read the current byte and then mask the flags,
but along this change, he only set the "System flag" and dropped the setting
of "disable keyboard" flag.
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.23.y.git;a=commit;h=8b93789808756bcc1e5c90c99f1b1ef52f839a51
outb(cmd | 0x04, 0x60); /* set "System flag" */
So my request is to restore the setting of disable keyboard flag which has been
there since 2.6.14 but disappeared in 2.6.23.

Correct potentially unstable PC RTC time register reading in time_64.c
Stop the use of an incorrect technique for reading the standard PC RTC
timer, which is documented to "disconnect" time registers from the bus
while updates are in progress. The use of UIP flag while interrupts
are disabled to protect a 244 microsecond window is one of the
Motorola spec sheet's documented ways to read the RTC time registers
reliably.
tglx: removed locking changes from original patch, as they gain nothing
(read_persistent_clock is only called during boot, suspend, resume - so
no hot path affected) and conflict with the paravirt locking scheme

A repeatable but randomly timed freeze has been happening in Fedora 6

HP Pavilion dv9000z laptop. This freeze is due to the use of

Fix a typo in ntp.c that has caused updating of the persistent (RTC)
clock when synced to NTP to behave erratically.
When debugging a freeze that arises on my AMD64 machines when I
run the ntpd service, I added a number of printk's to monitor the
sync_cmos_clock procedure. I discovered that it was not syncing to
cmos RTC every 11 minutes as documented, but instead would keep trying
every second for hours at a time. The reason turned out to be a typo
in sync_cmos_clock, where it attempts to ensure that
update_persistent_clock is called very close to 500 msec. after a 1
second boundary (required by the PC RTC's spec). That typo referred to
"xtime" in one spot, rather than "now", which is derived from "xtime"
but not equal to it. This makes the test erratic, creating a
"coin-flip" that decides when update_persistent_clock is called - when
it is called, which is rarely, it may be at any time during the one
second period, rather than close to 500 msec, so the value written is
needlessly incorrect, too.

Commit d435d862ba
("cpu hotplug: mce: fix cpu hotplug error handling")
changed the error handling in mce_cpu_callback.
In cases where not all CPUs are brought up during
boot (e.g. using maxcpus and additional_cpus parameters)
mce_cpu_callback now returns NOTFIY_BAD because
for such CPUs cpu_data is not completely filled when
the notifier is called. Thus mce_create_device fails right
at its beginning:
if (!mce_available(&cpu_data[cpu]))
return -EIO;
As a quick fix I suggest to check boot_cpu_data for MCE.
To reproduce this regression:
(1) boot with maxcpus=2 addtional_cpus=2 on a 4 CPU x86-64 system
(2) # echo 1 >/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu2/online

This code harks back to the days when we didn't count dirty mapped
pages, which led us to try to balance the number of dirty unmapped pages
by how much unmapped memory there was in the system.
That makes no sense any more, since now the dirty counts include the
mapped pages. Not to mention that the math doesn't work with HIGHMEM
machines anyway, and causes the unmapped_ratio to potentially turn
negative (which we do catch thanks to clamping it at a minimum value,
but I mention that as an indication of how broken the code is).
The code also was written at a time when the default dirty ratio was
much larger, and the unmapped_ratio logic effectively capped that large
dirty ratio a bit. Again, we've since lowered the dirty ratio rather
aggressively, further lessening the point of that code.

This matters to any sort of device that is wired to one of the CPU
interrupt pins on an SMP system. Typically the scenario is most easily
triggered with the count/compare timer interrupt where the same interrupt
number and thus irq_desc is used on each processor.
CPU A CPU B
do_IRQ()
generic_handle_irq()
handle_level_irq()
spin_lock(desc_lock)
set IRQ_INPROGRESS
spin_unlock(desc_lock)
do_IRQ()
generic_handle_irq()
handle_level_irq()
spin_lock(desc_lock)
IRQ_INPROGRESS set => bail out
spin_lock(desc_lock)
clear IRQ_INPROGRESS
spin_unlock(desc_lock)
In case of the cp0 compare interrupt this means the interrupt will be
acked and not handled or re-armed on CPU b, so there won't be any timer
interrupt until the count register wraps around.
With kernels 2.6.20 ... 2.6.23 we usually were lucky that things were just
working right on VSMP because the count registers are synchronized on
bootup so it takes something that disables interrupts for a long time on
one processor to trigger this one.
For scenarios where an interrupt is multicasted or broadcasted over several
CPUs the existing code was safe and the fix will break it. There is no
way to know in the interrupt controller code because it is abstracted from
the platform code. I think we do not have such a setup currently, so this
should be ok.

register while the timer is enabled has UNPREDICTABLE effect according to
the BCM1250/BCM1125/BCM1125H User Manual. So stop the timer before
reprogramming.
This is a paranoia fix; no ill effects have been observed previously.

For the old minimum of a single tick a value of zero would be programmed
into the init value register which in the BCM1250/BCM1125/BCM1125H User
Manual in the Timer Special Cases section is documented to have
UNPREDICTABLE effect.
Observable sympthoms of this bug were hangs of several seconds on the
console during bootup and later if both dyntick and highres timer options
were activated.
In theory contiguous mode of the timers is also affected but in an act of
hopeless lack of realism I'll assume nobody will ever configure a KERNEL
for HZ > 500kHz but if so I leave that to evolution to sort out.
