8aa38c31b7 Btrfs: remove duplicates of filemap_ helpers
Use filemap_fdatawrite_range and filemap_fdatawait_range instead of
local copies of the functions.  For filemap_fdatawait_range that
also means replacing the awkward old wait_on_page_writeback_range
calling convention with the regular filemap byte offsets.

417bc4b855 pktgen: Fix delay handling
After last pktgen changes, delay handling is wrong.

pktgen actually sends packets at full line speed.

Fix is to update pkt_dev->next_tx even if spin() returns early,
so that next spin() calls have a chance to see a positive delay.

ab93dbecfb Btrfs: take i_mutex before generic_write_checks
btrfs_file_write was incorrectly calling generic_write_checks without

6176d39471 ARM: 5734/1: arm: fix compilation of entry-common.S for older CPUs
Commit 181f817eaa introduced some new code to entry-common.S
Sadly, this new code uses 'bx' instruction which is available only on
ARMv5 and higher CPUs. This causes following compilation errors when
building kernel for StrongARM (ARMv4):

arch/arm/kernel/entry-common.S: Assembler messages:
arch/arm/kernel/entry-common.S:129: Error: selected processor does not
 support `bx ip'

7bfc4ab562 3c59x: Rework suspend and resume
As noticed by Alan Stern, there is still one issue with the driver:
we disable PCI IRQ on suspend, but other devices on the same IRQ
line might still need the IRQ enabled to suspend properly.

Nowadays, PCI core handles all power management work by itself, with
one condition though: if we use dev_pm_ops. So, rework the driver to
only quiesce 3c59x internal logic on suspend, while PCI core will
manage PCI device power state with IRQs disabled.

Since commit 9b22ea5609

We lost rx timestamping of packets received on accelerated vlans.

Effect is that tcpdump on real dev can show strange timings, since it gets rx timestamps
too late (ie at skb dequeueing time, not at skb queueing time)

298bf12ddb sit: fix off-by-one in ipip6_tunnel_get_prl
When requesting all prl entries (kprl.addr == INADDR_ANY) and there are
more prl entries than there is space passed from userspace, the existing
code would always copy cmax+1 entries, which is more than can be handled.

This patch makes the kernel copy only exactly cmax entries.

d99927f4d9 net: Fix sock_wfree() race
Commit 2b85a34e91
(net: No more expensive sock_hold()/sock_put() on each tx)
opens a window in sock_wfree() where another cpu
might free the socket we are working on.

A fix is to call sk->sk_write_space(sk) while still
holding a reference on sk.

b7058842c9 net: Make setsockopt() optlen be unsigned.
This provides safety against negative optlen at the type
level instead of depending upon (sometimes non-trivial)
checks against this sprinkled all over the the place, in
each and every implementation.

Based upon work done by Arjan van de Ven and feedback
from Linus Torvalds.

152f9d0710 sched_clock: Fix atomicity/continuity bug by using cmpxchg64()
Commit def0a9b257 (sched_clock: Make it NMI safe) assumed
cmpxchg() of 64bit values was available on X86_32.

That is not so - and causes some subtle scheduler misbehavior due
to incorrect timestamps off to up by ~4 seconds.

Two symptoms are known right now:

 - interactivity problems seen by Arjan: up to 600 msecs
   latencies instead of the expected 20-40 msecs. These
   latencies are very visible on the desktop.

 - incorrect CPU stats: occasionally too high percentages in 'top',
   and crazy CPU usage stats.

79e1dd05d1 x86: Provide an alternative() based cmpxchg64()
cmpxchg64() today generates, to quote Linus, "barf bag" code.

cmpxchg64() is about to get used in the scheduler to fix a bug there,
but it's a prerequisite that cmpxchg64() first be made non-sucking.

This patch turns cmpxchg64() into an efficient implementation that
uses the alternative() mechanism to just use the raw instruction on
all modern systems.

Note: the fallback is NOT smp safe, just like the current fallback
is not SMP safe. (Interested parties with i486 based SMP systems
are welcome to submit fix patches for that.)
