e82cc1288f USB: fix ehci unlink regressions
The recent EHCI driver update to split the IAA watchdog timer out from
the other timers made several things work better, but not everything;
and it created a couple new issues in bugzilla.  Ergo this patch:

  - Handle a should-be-rare SMP race between the watchdog firing
    and (very late) IAA interrupts;

  - Remove a shouldn't-have-been-added WARN_ON() test;

  - Guard against one observed OOPS;

  - If this watchdog fires during clean HC shutdown, it should act
    as a NOP instead of interfering with the shutdown sequence;

  - Guard against silicon errata hypothesized by some vendors:
      * IAA status latch broken, but IAAD cleared OK;
      * IAAD wasn't cleared when IAA status got reported;

The WARN_ON is in bugzilla as 10168; the OOPS as 10078; these are
both regressions.

Nobody should be using the generic usb-serial for anything other than

is a traceback from NMI oopser here:
 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=431379

But in short, if a line discipline has a chance to echo anything, input
can loop back a write method. So, don't call tty_flip_buffer_push from

b91aac29bb PCI Hotplug: Fix small mem leak in IBM Hot Plug Controller Driver
In drivers/pci/hotplug/ibmphp_ebda.c::ebda_rsrc_controller(), storage is
allocated with kzalloc() and assigned to 'tmp_slot'.  Then lots of
stuff, like ->flag, ->supported_speed etc is set in tmp_slot.  A bit
further down there's then this test :

  if (!bus_info_ptr1) {
    rc = -ENODEV;
    goto error;
  }

At this point, tmp_slot has not been assigned to anything, so when
erroring-out we want to free it, but nothing at the 'error:' label
free's 'tmp_slot' - and we can't really free 'tmp_slot' at 'error:'
since we may jump to that label later when 'tmp_slot' *has* been used
and we do not want it freed. So, the only sane option left seems to be
to kfree(tmp_slot) just before jumping to the 'error:' label in the one
place where this is what actually makes sense. The following patch does
just that and thus kills off a tiny potential memory leak.

8647af71d6 PCI: rename DECLARE_PCI_DEVICE_TABLE to DEFINE_PCI_DEVICE_TABLE
a) DECLARE_PCI_DEVICE_TABLE is misnamed.  It is used to *define* tables,
   not to declare them.  It should be called DEFINE_PCI_DEVICE_TABLE.

b) It's lame, anyway.  We could implement any number of such helper
   thingies, but we choose not to.


So I wouldn't go adding code which uses this thing until it has a correct
name, and until we've decided that we actually want to live with it.

e88a0c2ca8 drivers: fix dma_get_required_mask
There's a bug in the current implementation of dma_get_required_mask()
where it ands the returned mask with the current device mask.  This
rather defeats the purpose if you're using the call to determine what
your mask should be (since you will at that time have the default
DMA_32BIT_MASK).  This bug results in any driver that uses this function
*always* getting a 32 bit mask, which is wrong.

Fix by removing the and with dev->dma_mask.

1ef36fa64e lguest: Do not append space to guests kernel command line
The lguest launcher appends a space to the kernel command line (if kernel
arguments are specified on its command line). This space is unneeded. More
importantly, this appended space will make Red Hat's nash script interpreter
(used in a Fedora style initramfs) add an empty argument to init's command
line. This empty argument will make kernel arguments like "init=/bin/bash"
fail (because the shell will try to execute a script with an empty name).
This could be considered a bug in nash, but is easily fixed in the lguest
launcher too.

4357bd9453 lguest: Revert 1ce70c4fac, fix real problem.
Ahmed managed to crash the Host in release_pgd(), which cannot be a Guest
bug, and indeed it wasn't.

The bug was that handing a 0 as the address of the toplevel page table
being manipulated can cause the lookup code in find_pgdir() to return
an uninitialized cache entry (we shadow up to 4 top level page tables
for each Guest).

Commit 37cc8d7f96 introduced this
behaviour in the Guest, uncovering the bug.

The patch which he submitted (which removed the /4 from the index
calculation) simply ensured that these high-indexed entries hit the
early exit path of guest_set_pmd().  But you get lots of segfaults in
guest userspace as the PMDs aren't being updated.

Now the TSC code handles a zero return from calculate_cpu_khz(),
lguest can simply pass through the value it gets from the Host: if

52987e2ab4 ocfs2/dlm: Add missing dlm_lockres_put()s in migration path
During migration, the recovery master node may be asked to master a lockres
it may not know about. In that case, it would not only have to create a
lockres and add it to the hash, but also remember to to do the _put_
corresponding to the kref_init in dlm_init_lockres(), as soon as the migration
is completed. Yes, we don't wait for the dlm_purge_lockres() to do that
matching put. Note the ref added for it being in the hash protects the lockres
from being freed prematurely.

2c5c54aca9 ocfs2/dlm: Add missing dlm_lock_put()s
Normally locks for remote nodes are freed when that node sends an UNLOCK
message to the master. The master node tags an DLM_UNLOCK_FREE_LOCK action
to do an extra put on the lock at the end.

However, there are times when the master node has to free the locks for the
remote nodes forcibly.

Two cases when this happens are:
1. When the master has migrated the lockres plus all locks to another node.
2. When the master is clearing all the locks of a dead node.

It was in the above two conditions that the dlm was missing the extra put.

0f71b7b40f ocfs2: Fix endian bug in o2dlm protocol negotiation.
struct dlm_query_join_packet is made up of four one-byte fields.  They
are effectively in big-endian order already.  However, little-endian
machines swap them before putting the packet on the wire (because
query_join's response is a status, and that status is treated as a u32
on the wire).  Thus, a big-endian and little-endian machines will
treat this structure differently.

The solution is to have little-endian machines swap the structure when
converting from the structure to the u32 representation.

This was done as a hack/bug-fix for s2ram, but it also causes a problem

problem is to actually respond to CPU_UP events, instead of CPU_ONLINE,
which is already too late.

10a398d04c time: remove obsolete CLOCK_TICK_ADJUST
The first version of the ntp_interval/tick_length inconsistent usage patch was
recently merged as bbe4d18ac2

http://git.kernel.org/gitweb.cgi?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=bbe4d18ac2e058c56adb0cd71f49d9ed3216a405

While the fix did greatly improve the situation, it was correctly pointed out
by Roman that it does have a small bug: If the users change clocksources after
the system has been running and NTP has made corrections, the correctoins made
against the old clocksource will be applied against the new clocksource,
causing error.

The second attempt, which corrects the issue in the NTP_INTERVAL_LENGTH
definition has also made it up-stream as commit
e13a2e61dd

http://git.kernel.org/gitweb.cgi?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=e13a2e61dd5152f5499d2003470acf9c838eab84

Roman has correctly pointed out that CLOCK_TICK_ADJUST is calculated
based on the PIT's frequency, and isn't really relevant to non-PIT
driven clocksources (that is, clocksources other then jiffies and pit).

This patch reverts both of those changes, and simply removes
CLOCK_TICK_ADJUST.

This does remove the granularity error correction for users of PIT and Jiffies
clocksource users, but the granularity error but for the majority of users, it
should be within the 500ppm range NTP can accommodate for.

For systems that have granularity errors greater then 500ppm, the
"ntp_tick_adj=" boot option can be used to compensate.

e48af19f56 ntp: use unsigned input for do_div()
The kernel NTP code shouldn't hand 64-bit *signed* values to do_div().  Make it
instead hand 64-bit unsigned values.  This gets rid of a couple of warnings.

6efcae4601 Fix waitid si_code regression
In commit ee7c82da83 ("wait_task_stopped:
simplify and fix races with SIGCONT/SIGKILL/untrace"), the magic (short)
cast when storing si_code was lost in wait_task_stopped.  This leaks the
in-kernel CLD_* values that do not match what userland expects.
