f6762b7ad8 [PATCH] pipe: enable atomic copying of pipe data to/from user space
The pipe ->map() method uses kmap() to virtually map the pages, which
is both slow and has known scalability issues on SMP. This patch enables
atomic copying of pipe pages, by pre-faulting data and using kmap_atomic()
instead.

lmbench bw_pipe and lat_pipe measurements agree this is a Good Thing. Here
are results from that on a UP machine with highmem (1.5GiB of RAM), running
first a UP kernel, SMP kernel, and SMP kernel patched.

f84d751994 [PATCH] pipe: introduce ->pin() buffer operation
The ->map() function is really expensive on highmem machines right now,
since it has to use the slower kmap() instead of kmap_atomic(). Splice
rarely needs to access the virtual address of a page, so it's a waste
of time doing it.

Introduce ->pin() to take over the responsibility of making sure the
page data is valid. ->map() is then reduced to just kmap(). That way we
can also share a most of the pipe buffer ops between pipe.c and splice.c

0568b409c7 [PATCH] splice: fix bugs in pipe_to_file()
Found by Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru>, fixed by me.

- Only allow full pages to go to the page cache.
- Check page != buf->page instead of using PIPE_BUF_FLAG_STOLEN.
- Remember to clear 'stolen' if add_to_page_cache() fails.

And as a cleanup on that:

- Make the bottom fall-through logic a little less convoluted. Also make
  the steal path hold an extra reference to the page, so we don't have
  to differentiate between stolen and non-stolen at the end.

073115d6b2 [PATCH] Rework of IPC auditing
1) The audit_ipc_perms() function has been split into two different
functions:
        - audit_ipc_obj()
        - audit_ipc_set_perm()

There's a key shift here...  The audit_ipc_obj() collects the uid, gid,
mode, and SElinux context label of the current ipc object.  This
audit_ipc_obj() hook is now found in several places.  Most notably, it
is hooked in ipcperms(), which is called in various places around the
ipc code permforming a MAC check.  Additionally there are several places
where *checkid() is used to validate that an operation is being
performed on a valid object while not necessarily having a nearby
ipcperms() call.  In these locations, audit_ipc_obj() is called to
ensure that the information is captured by the audit system.

The audit_set_new_perm() function is called any time the permissions on
the ipc object changes.  In this case, the NEW permissions are recorded
(and note that an audit_ipc_obj() call exists just a few lines before
each instance).

2) Support for an AUDIT_IPC_SET_PERM audit message type.  This allows
for separate auxiliary audit records for normal operations on an IPC
object and permissions changes.  Note that the same struct
audit_aux_data_ipcctl is used and populated, however there are separate
audit_log_format statements based on the type of the message.  Finally,
the AUDIT_IPC block of code in audit_free_aux() was extended to handle
aux messages of this new type.  No more mem leaks I hope ;-)

3dc7e3153e [PATCH] support for context based audit filtering, part 2
This patch provides the ability to filter audit messages based on the
elements of the process' SELinux context (user, role, type, mls sensitivity,
and mls clearance).  It uses the new interfaces from selinux to opaquely
store information related to the selinux context and to filter based on that
information.  It also uses the callback mechanism provided by selinux to
refresh the information when a new policy is loaded.

module to perform efficient matches based on lower level selinux constructs,
rather than relying on context retrievals and string comparisons within
the audit module.  It also allows for dominance checks on the mls portion
of the contexts that are impossible with only string comparisons.

first succeed and test code misses time limited clock running phase

The performance is not issue, because usually at full clock rate

76bbb00288 [ARM] 3487/1: IXP4xx: Support non-PCI systems
Patch from Deepak Saxena

This patch allows for the addition of IXP4xx systems that do not make
use of the PCI interface by moving the CONFIG_PCI symbol selection to
be platform-specific instead of for all of IXP4xx. If at least one machine
with PCI support is built, the PCI code will be compiled in, but when
building !PCI, this will drastically shrink the kernel size.

cd95842ca0 [ARM] 3486/1: Mark memory as clobbered by the ARM _syscallX() macros
Patch from Markus Gutschke

In order to prevent gcc from making incorrect optimizations, all asm()
statements that define system calls should report memory as
clobbered. Recent versions of the headers for i386 have been changed
accordingly, but the ARM headers are still defective.

This patch fixes the bug tracked at

a88d75b257 [SERIAL] Remove unconditional enable of TX irq for console
A bug report from Gerd Hoffmann has highlighted that unconditionally
enabling the transmit interrupt at the end of console writes is very
bad.

In Gerd's case, it causes the test for buggy UARTs to give false
positives, incorrectly identifying ports as buggy when they are not.

Moreover, if we unconditionally enable the interrupt, and the port
is sharing it's interrupt with other ports, there is the very real
possibility that we'll cause an interrupt storm.  (Not all ports use
OUT2 as an interrupt mask.)

Hence, revert part of f91a3715db and
all of f5968b37b3 until a better solution
can be found.
