bbc3d14e9a ARM: SMP: move CPU number sanity checks to smp_init_cpus()
Ensure that the number of CPUs is sanity checked before setting
the number of possible CPUs.  This avoids any chance of overflowing
the cpu_possible bitmap.

28e18293cf ARM: SMP: ensure smp_send_stop() waits for CPUs to stop
Wait for CPUs to indicate that they've stopped, after sending the
stop IPI, rather than blindly continuing on and hoping that they've
stopped in time.  Print a warning if we fail to stop the other CPUs.

Use r0,r3-r6 rather than r0,r3,r4,r6,r7, which makes it easier to

0df7095205 ARM: SMP: remove IRQ-disabling for smp_cross_call()
As we've now removed the spinlock and bitmask, we have nothing left
which requires interrupts to be disabled when sending an IPI.  All
current IPI-sending implementations use the GIC, which also does not
require interrupts disabled when calling gic_raise_softirq().

Remove the now unnecessary IRQ disable.

114279be21 exec: copy-and-paste the fixes into compat_do_execve() paths
Note: this patch targets 2.6.37 and tries to be as simple as possible.
That is why it adds more copy-and-paste horror into fs/compat.c and
uglifies fs/exec.c, this will be cleanuped later.

compat_copy_strings() plays with bprm->vma/mm directly and thus has
two problems: it lacks the RLIMIT_STACK check and argv/envp memory
is not visible to oom killer.

Export acct_arg_size() and get_arg_page(), change compat_copy_strings()
to use get_arg_page(), change compat_do_execve() to do acct_arg_size(0)
as do_execve() does.

Add the fatal_signal_pending/cond_resched checks into compat_count() and
compat_copy_strings(), this matches the code in fs/exec.c and certainly
makes sense.

3c77f84572 exec: make argv/envp memory visible to oom-killer
Brad Spengler published a local memory-allocation DoS that
evades the OOM-killer (though not the virtual memory RLIMIT):
http://www.grsecurity.net/~spender/64bit_dos.c

execve()->copy_strings() can allocate a lot of memory, but
this is not visible to oom-killer, nobody can see the nascent
bprm->mm and take it into account.

With this patch get_arg_page() increments current's MM_ANONPAGES
counter every time we allocate the new page for argv/envp. When
do_execve() succeds or fails, we change this counter back.

Technically this is not 100% correct, we can't know if the new
page is swapped out and turn MM_ANONPAGES into MM_SWAPENTS, but
I don't think this really matters and everything becomes correct
once exec changes ->mm or fails.

bcb38ceb22 Revert "debug_locks: set oops_in_progress if we will log messages."
This reverts commit e0fdace10e.

On-list discussion seems to suggest that the robustness fixes for printk
make this unnecessary and DaveM has also agreed in person at Kernel Summit
and on list.

The main problem with this code is once we hit a lockdep splat we always
keep oops_in_progress set, the console layer uses oops_in_progress with KMS
to decide when it should be showing the oops and not showing X, so it causes
problems around suspend/resume time when a userspace resume can cause a console
switch away from X, only if oops_in_progress is set (which is what we want
if an oops actually is in progress, but not because we had a lockdep splat
2 days prior).

3f0d3d016d tpm: Autodetect itpm devices
Some Lenovos have TPMs that require a quirk to function correctly. This can
be autodetected by checking whether the device has a _HID of INTC0102. This
is an invalid PNPid, and as such is discarded by the pnp layer - however
it's still present in the ACPI code, so we can pull it out that way. This
means that the quirk won't be automatically applied on non-ACPI systems,
but without ACPI we don't have any way to identify the chip anyway so I
don't think that's a great concern.

25888e3031 af_unix: limit recursion level
Its easy to eat all kernel memory and trigger NMI watchdog, using an
exploit program that queues unix sockets on top of others.

lkml ref : http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/11/25/8

This mechanism is used in applications, one choice we have is to have a
recursion limit.

Other limits might be needed as well (if we queue other types of files),
since the passfd mechanism is currently limited by socket receive queue
sizes only.

Add a recursion_level to unix socket, allowing up to 4 levels.

Each time we send an unix socket through sendfd mechanism, we copy its
recursion level (plus one) to receiver. This recursion level is cleared
when socket receive queue is emptied.

d830418e40 ucc_geth: fix ucc halt problem in half duplex mode
In commit 58933c64(ucc_geth: Fix the wrong the Rx/Tx FIFO size),
the UCC_GETH_UTFTT_INIT is set to 512 based on the recommendation
of the QE Reference Manual.  But that will sometimes cause tx halt
while working in half duplex mode.

According to errata draft QE_GENERAL-A003(High Tx Virtual FIFO
threshold size can cause UCC to halt), setting UTFTT less than
[(UTFS x (M - 8)/M) - 128] will prevent this from happening
(M is the minimum buffer size).

The patch changes UTFTT back to 256.

b4ff3c90e6 inet: Fix __inet_inherit_port() to correctly increment bsockets and num_owners
inet sockets corresponding to passive connections are added to the bind hash
using ___inet_inherit_port(). These sockets are later removed from the bind
hash using __inet_put_port(). These two functions are not exactly symmetrical.
__inet_put_port() decrements hashinfo->bsockets and tb->num_owners, whereas
___inet_inherit_port() does not increment them. This results in both of these
going to -ve values.

This patch fixes this by calling inet_bind_hash() from ___inet_inherit_port(),
which does the right thing.

'bsockets' and 'num_owners' were introduced by commit a9d8f9110d
(inet: Allowing more than 64k connections and heavily optimize bind(0))

163cf09c2a Btrfs: deal with DIO bios that span more than one ordered extent
The new DIO bio splitting code has problems when the bio
spans more than one ordered extent.  This will happen as the
generic DIO code merges our get_blocks calls together into
a bigger single bio.

This fixes things by walking forward in the ordered extent
code finding all the overlapping ordered extents and completing them
all at once.

7208364652 Un-inline get_pipe_info() helper function
This avoids some include-file hell, and the function isn't really
important enough to be inlined anyway.

c66fb34794 Export 'get_pipe_info()' to other users
And in particular, use it in 'pipe_fcntl()'.

The other pipe functions do not need to use the 'careful' version, since
they are only ever called for things that are already known to be pipes.

The normal read/write/ioctl functions are called through the file
operations structures, so if a file isn't a pipe, they'd never get
called.  But pipe_fcntl() is special, and called directly from the
generic fcntl code, and needs to use the same careful function that the
splice code is using.

71993e62a4 Rename 'pipe_info()' to 'get_pipe_info()'
.. and change it to take the 'file' pointer instead of an inode, since
that's what all users want anyway.

The renaming is preparatory to exporting it to other users.  The old
'pipe_info()' name was too generic and is already used elsewhere, so
before making the function public we need to use a more specific name.
