This patch adds CPU type detection for the Intel Celeron 540, which is
part of the Core 2 family according to Wikipedia; the family and ID pair
is absent from the Volume 3B table referenced in the source code
comments. I have tested this patch on an Intel Celeron 540 machine
reporting itself as Family 6 Model 22, and OProfile runs on the machine
without issue.

The Thinkpad X100e seems to have some odd behaviour when the display is
powered off - the onboard r8169 starts generating rxfifo overflow errors.
The root cause of this has not yet been identified and may well be a
hardware design bug on the platform, but r8169 should be more resiliant to
this. This patch enables the rxfifo interrupt on 8168 devices and removes
the MAC version check in the interrupt handler, and the machine no longer
crashes when under network load while the screen turns off.

If peer uses tiny MSS (say, 75 bytes) and similarly tiny advertised
window, the SWS logic will packetize to half the MSS unnecessarily.
This causes problems with some embedded devices.
However for large MSS devices we do want to half-MSS packetize
otherwise we never get enough packets into the pipe for things
like fast retransmit and recovery to work.
Be careful also to handle the case where MSS > window, otherwise
we'll never send until the probe timer.

Some pcnet_cs compatible cards require an exact 16-lines match
of the ioport areas specified in CIS, but set the "iolines"
value in the CIS incorrectly. We can easily work around this
issue -- same as we do in serial_cs -- by first trying setting
iolines to the CIS-specified value, and then trying a 16-line
match.

Rather than just using pt_regs, it now contains the actual saved
state explicitly, similar to pt_regs. By doing it this way, we
provide a cleaner API for userspace (or equivalently, we avoid the
need for libc to provide its own definition of sigcontext).
While we're at it, move PT_FLAGS_xxx to where they are not visible
from userspace. And always pass siginfo and mcontext to signal
handlers, even if they claim they don't need it, since sometimes
they actually try to use it anyway in practice.

The texture base address registers are in units of 256 bytes.
The original CS checker treated these offsets as bytes, so the
original check was wrong. I fixed the units in a patch during
the 2.6.36 cycle, but this ended up breaking some existing
userspace (probably due to a bug in either userspace texture allocation
or the drm texture mipmap checker). So for now, until we come
up with a better fix, just warn if the mipmap size it too large.
This will keep existing userspace working and it should be just
as safe as before when we were checking the wrong units. These
are GPU MC addresses, so if they fall outside of the VRAM or
GART apertures, they end up at the GPU default page, so this should
be safe from a security perspective.
v2: Just disable the warning. It just spams the log and there's
nothing the user can do about it.

Tavis Ormandy pointed out that do_io_submit does not do proper bounds
checking on the passed-in iocb array:
if (unlikely(nr < 0))
return -EINVAL;
if (unlikely(!access_ok(VERIFY_READ, iocbpp, (nr*sizeof(iocbpp)))))
return -EFAULT; ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The attached patch checks for overflow, and if it is detected, the
number of iocbs submitted is scaled down to a number that will fit in
the long. This is an ok thing to do, as sys_io_submit is documented as
returning the number of iocbs submitted, so callers should handle a
return value of less than the 'nr' argument passed in.

cifs_get_smb_ses must be called on a server pointer on which it holds an
active reference. It first does a search for an existing SMB session. If
it finds one, it'll put the server reference and then try to ensure that
the negprot is done, etc.
If it encounters an error at that point then it'll return an error.
There's a potential problem here though. When cifs_get_smb_ses returns
an error, the caller will also put the TCP server reference leading to a
double-put.
Fix this by having cifs_get_smb_ses only put the server reference if
it found an existing session that it could use and isn't returning an
error.

In commit d4d6715, we reopened an old hole for a 64-bit ptracer touching a
32-bit tracee in system call entry. A %rax value set via ptrace at the
entry tracing stop gets used whole as a 32-bit syscall number, while we
only check the low 32 bits for validity.
Fix it by truncating %rax back to 32 bits after syscall_trace_enter,
in addition to testing the full 64 bits as has already been added.

On 64 bits, we always, by necessity, jump through the system call
table via %rax. For 32-bit system calls, in theory the system call
number is stored in %eax, and the code was testing %eax for a valid
system call number. At one point we loaded the stored value back from
the stack to enforce zero-extension, but that was removed in checkin
d4d67150165df8bf1cc05e532f6efca96f907cab. An actual 32-bit process
will not be able to introduce a non-zero-extended number, but it can
happen via ptrace.
Instead of re-introducing the zero-extension, test what we are
actually going to use, i.e. %rax. This only adds a handful of REX
prefixes to the code.

compat_alloc_user_space() expects the caller to independently call
access_ok() to verify the returned area. A missing call could
introduce problems on some architectures.
This patch incorporates the access_ok() check into
compat_alloc_user_space() and also adds a sanity check on the length.
The existing compat_alloc_user_space() implementations are renamed
arch_compat_alloc_user_space() and are used as part of the
implementation of the new global function.
This patch assumes NULL will cause __get_user()/__put_user() to either
fail or access userspace on all architectures. This should be
followed by checking the return value of compat_access_user_space()
for NULL in the callers, at which time the access_ok() in the callers
can also be removed.

This more or less reverts commits 08be979 (x86: Force HPET
readback_cmp for all ATI chipsets) and 30a564be (x86, hpet: Restrict
read back to affected ATI chipsets) to the status of commit 8da854c
(x86, hpet: Erratum workaround for read after write of HPET
comparator).
The delta to commit 8da854c is mostly comments and the change from
WARN_ONCE to printk_once as we know the call path of this function
already.
This needs really in depth explanation:
First of all the HPET design is a complete failure. Having a counter
compare register which generates an interrupt on matching values
forces the software to do at least one superfluous readback of the
counter register.
While it is nice in theory to program "absolute" time events it is
practically useless because the timer runs at some absurd frequency
which can never be matched to real world units. So we are forced to
calculate a relative delta and this forces a readout of the actual
counter value, adding the delta and programming the compare
register. When the delta is small enough we run into the danger that
we program a compare value which is already in the past. Due to the
compare for equal nature of HPET we need to read back the counter
value after writing the compare rehgister (btw. this is necessary for
absolute timeouts as well) to make sure that we did not miss the timer
event. We try to work around that by setting the minimum delta to a
value which is larger than the theoretical time which elapses between
the counter readout and the compare register write, but that's only
true in theory. A NMI or SMI which hits between the readout and the
write can easily push us beyond that limit. This would result in
waiting for the next HPET timer interrupt until the 32bit wraparound
of the counter happens which takes about 306 seconds.
So we designed the next event function to look like:
match = read_cnt() + delta;
write_compare_ref(match);
return read_cnt() < match ? 0 : -ETIME;
At some point we got into trouble with certain ATI chipsets. Even the
above "safe" procedure failed. The reason was that the write to the
compare register was delayed probably for performance reasons. The
theory was that they wanted to avoid the synchronization of the write
with the HPET clock, which is understandable. So the write does not
hit the compare register directly instead it goes to some intermediate
register which is copied to the real compare register in sync with the
HPET clock. That opens another window for hitting the dreaded "wait
for a wraparound" problem.
To work around that "optimization" we added a read back of the compare
register which either enforced the update of the just written value or
just delayed the readout of the counter enough to avoid the issue. We
unfortunately never got any affirmative info from ATI/AMD about this.
One thing is sure, that we nuked the performance "optimization" that
way completely and I'm pretty sure that the result is worse than
before some HW folks came up with those.
Just for paranoia reasons I added a check whether the read back
compare register value was the same as the value we wrote right
before. That paranoia check triggered a couple of years after it was
added on an Intel ICH9 chipset. Venki added a workaround (commit
8da854c) which was reading the compare register twice when the first
check failed. We considered this to be a penalty in general and
restricted the readback (thus the wasted CPU cycles) to the known to
be affected ATI chipsets.
This turned out to be a utterly wrong decision. 2.6.35 testers
experienced massive problems and finally one of them bisected it down
to commit 30a564be which spured some further investigation.
Finally we got confirmation that the write to the compare register can
be delayed by up to two HPET clock cycles which explains the problems
nicely. All we can do about this is to go back to Venki's initial
workaround in a slightly modified version.
Just for the record I need to say, that all of this could have been
avoided if hardware designers and of course the HPET committee would
have thought about the consequences for a split second. It's out of my
comprehension why designing a working timer is so hard. There are two
ways to achieve it:
1) Use a counter wrap around aware compare_reg <= counter_reg
implementation instead of the easy compare_reg == counter_reg
Downsides:
- It needs more silicon.
- It needs a readout of the counter to apply a relative
timeout. This is necessary as the counter does not run in
any useful (and adjustable) frequency and there is no
guarantee that the counter which is used for timer events is
the same which is used for reading the actual time (and
therefor for calculating the delta)
Upsides:
- None
2) Use a simple down counter for relative timer events
Downsides:
- Absolute timeouts are not possible, which is not a problem
at all in the context of an OS and the expected
max. latencies/jitter (also see Downsides of #1)
Upsides:
- It needs less or equal silicon.
- It works ALWAYS
- It is way faster than a compare register based solution (One
write versus one write plus at least one and up to four
reads)
I would not be so grumpy about all of this, if I would not have been
ignored for many years when pointing out these flaws to various
hardware folks. I really hate timers (at least those which seem to be
designed by janitors).
Though finally we got a reasonable explanation plus a solution and I
want to thank all the folks involved in chasing it down and providing
valuable input to this.

Stop sending FLUSHSNAP messages when we hit a capsnap that has dirty_pages
or is still writing. We'll send the newer capsnaps only after the older
ones complete.

The 'follows' should match the seq for the snap context for the given snap
cap, which is the context under which we have been dirtying and writing
data and metadata. The snapshot that _contains_ those updates thus
_follows_ that context's seq #.

On resume, before starting the PAL state machine, check if the
adjust_link() method is well supplied. If not, this would lead to a
NULL pointer dereference in the phy_state_machine() function.
This scenario can happen if the Ethernet driver call manually the PHY
functions instead of using the PAL state machine. The mv643xx_eth driver
is a such example.

netdev_wait_allrefs() waits that all references to a device vanishes.
It currently uses a _very_ pessimistic 250 ms delay between each probe.
Some users reported that no more than 4 devices can be dismantled per
second, this is a pretty serious problem for some setups.
Most of the time, a refcount is about to be released by an RCU callback,
that is still in flight because rollback_registered_many() uses a
synchronize_rcu() call instead of rcu_barrier(). Problem is visible if
number of online cpus is one, because synchronize_rcu() is then a no op.

It was recently brought to my attention that 802.3ad mode bonds would no
longer form when using some network hardware after a driver update.
After snooping around I realized that the particular hardware was using
page-based skbs and found that skb->data did not contain a valid LACPDU
as it was not stored there. That explained the inability to form an
802.3ad-based bond. For balance-alb mode bonds this was also an issue
as ARPs would not be properly processed.
This patch fixes the issue in my tests and should be applied to 2.6.36
and as far back as anyone cares to add it to stable.
Thanks to Alexander Duyck <[email protected]> and Jesse
Brandeburg <[email protected]> for the suggestions on this one.

There has been periodic evidence that LVDS, on at least some
panels, prefers the dividers selected by the legacy pll algo.
This patch forces the use of the legacy pll algo on RV620
LVDS panels. The old behavior (new pll algo) can be selected
by setting the new_pll module parameter to 1.

Not 100% sure this is due to BKL removal, its most likely a combination
of that + userspace timing changes in udev/plymouth. The drm adds the sysfs
device before the driver has completed internal loading, this causes udev
to make the node and plymouth to open it before we've completed loading.
The proper solution is to delay the sysfs manipulation until later in loading
however this causes knock on issues with sysfs connector nodes, so we can use
the global mutex to serialise loading and userspace opens.

v2: Julien Cristau pointed out that @nondestructive results in
double-negatives and confusion when trying to interpret the parameter,
so use @force instead. Much easier to type as well. ;-)
