f9d36da9cd Blackfin Serial Driver: fix missing new lines when under load
Add a SSYNC() into bfin_serial_dma_tx_chars() to ensure DMA registers are
written with new data otherwise we might miss a byte or two when the
system is under load.  PIO mode is OK though.

7de7c55bf5 Blackfin Serial Driver: fix baudrate for early_printk
Since we already setup the early console UART in
arch/blackfin/kernel/early_printk.c, and common functions which are
enabled from the .setup will override the proper settings later, don't
fill in these structures.  Otherwise we get mangled baudrate settings when
using early_printk.

a19e8b2059 Blackfin SPORT UART: fix data misses while using transmit frame sync
SPORT transmit frame sync (TFS) isn't used as an electrical signal during
normal SPORT UART emulation.  However, it is useful in EIA RS-485
emulation as RS-485 Transceiver Driver Enable DE strobe.

This patch configures:
TFS to be active high in order to drive an DE strobe of
an eventually connected RS-485 Transceiver.

Late frame sync mode (LATFS) gating the entire TX shift cycle.

c65c9bc3ef tty: rewrite the ldisc locking
There are several pretty much unfixable races in the old ldisc code, especially
with respect to pty behaviour and also to hangup. It's easier to rewrite the
code than simply try and patch it up.

This patch
- splits the ldisc from the tty (so we will be able to refcount it more cleanly
  later)
- introduces a mutex lock for ldisc changing on an active device
- fixes the complete mess that hangup caused
- implements hopefully correct setldisc/close/hangup locking

There are still some problems around pty pairs that have always been there but
at least it is now possible to understand the code and fix further problems.

This fixes the following known bugs
- hang up can leak ldisc references
- hang up may not call open/close on ldisc in a matched way
- pty/tty pairs can deadlock during an ldisc change
- reading the ldisc proc files can cause every ldisc to be loaded

and probably a few other of the mysterious ldisc race reports.

I'm sure it also adds the odd new one.

38db89799b tty: throttling race fix
The tty throttling code can race due to the lock drops. It takes very high
loads but this has been observed and verified by Rob Duncan.

The basic problem is that on an SMP box we can go

	CPU #1				CPU #2
	need to throttle ?
	suppose we should		buffer space cleared
					are we throttled
					yes ? - unthrottle
	call throttle method

This changeet take the termios lock to protect against this. The termios
lock isn't the initial obvious candidate but many implementations of throttle
methods already need to poke around their own termios structures (and nobody
really locks them against a racing change of flow control).

This does mean that anyone who is setting tty->low_latency = 1 and then
calling tty_flip_buffer_push from their unthrottle method is going to end up
collapsing in a pile of locks. However we've removed all the known bogus
users of low_latency = 1 and such use isn't safe anyway for other reasons so
catching it would be an improvement.

fdd7b4c330 r8169: fix crash when large packets are received
Michael Tokarev reported receiving a large packet could crash
a machine with RTL8169 NIC.
( original thread at http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/6/8/192 )

Problem is this driver tells that NIC frames up to 16383 bytes
can be received but provides skb to rx ring allocated with
smaller sizes (1536 bytes in case standard 1500 bytes MTU is used)

When a frame larger than what was allocated by driver is received,
dma transfert can occurs past the end of buffer and corrupt
kernel memory.

Fix is to tell to NIC what is the maximum size a frame can be.

This bug is very old, (before git introduction, linux-2.6.10), and 
should be backported to stable versions.
