70f8b79cf3 [libata] sata_mv: Implement direct FIS transmission via mv_qc_issue_fis().
This is initially needed to work around NCQ errata,
whereby the READ_LOG_EXT command sometimes fails
when issued in the traditional (sff) fashion.

Portions of this code will likely be reused for
implementation of the target mode feature later on.

d16ab3f633 [libata] sata_mv: Add a new mv_sff_check_status() function to sata_mv.
This is necessary for use with the upcoming "mv_qc_issue_fis()" patch,
but is being added separately here for easier code review.

When using command issue via the "mv_qc_issue_fis()" mechanism,
the initial ATA_BUSY bit does not show in the ATA status (shadow) register.
This can confuse libata!  So here we add a hook to fake ATA_BUSY
for that situation, until the first time a BUSY, DRQ, or ERR bit is seen.

c01e8a2312 [libata] sata_mv: Enable use of (basic) DMA for ATAPI on GEN_IIE chips
This also gets rid of any need for mv_mode_filter().

Using basic DMA on GEN_IIE requires setting an undocumented
bit in an undocumented register.  For safety, we clear that
bit again when switching back to EDMA mode.

To avoid a performance penalty when switching modes,
we cache the register in port_priv, as already done for other regs.

08da175937 [libata] sata_mv: cache frequently-accessed registers
Maintain a local (mv_port_priv) cache of frequently accessed registers,
to avoid having to re-read them (very slow) on every transistion
between EDMA and non-EDMA modes.  This speeds up things like
flushing the drive write cache, and anything using basic DMA transfers.

a5bfc4714b ahci: drop intx manipulation on msi enable
There's no need to turn off intx explicitly on msi enable.  This is
automatically handled by pci.  Drop it.

This might be needed on machines if the BIOS turns intx off during
boot.  However, there's no evidence of such behavior for ahci and
the only such case seems to be ICH5 PATA according to ata_piix.
Also, given the way ahci operates, it's highly unlikely BIOS ever
disables IRQ for the controller.  However, as this change has slight
possibility of introducing failure, please schedule it for #upstream.

6be976e79d pata-rb532-cf: drop custom freeze and thaw
I'm not quite sure what freezing and thawing is used for. Tests showed
that the port is being frozen at initialisation state and thawed right
afterwards, then the functions were not called anymore. Dropping the
complete custom code for handling the frozen state seems to work at
least for a standard use case including mounting a partition, copying
some files in it (in parallel) and finally removing them and unmounting
the partition.

180bd147f1 pata-rb532-cf: use ata_sff_data_xfer32()
The biggest difference between rb532_pata_data_xfer() and
ata_sff_data_xfer32() is the call to ata_sff_pause() at the end of
rb532_pata_data_xfer() which I suppose to be unnecessary since it works
without. I've also tested using ata_sff_data_xfer() as replacement, but
since we know that the driver supports 32bit IO, using the optimised
version should be safe.

With a sufficiently new compiler and binutils, code which wasn't
previously generating .eh_frame sections has begun to.  Certain
architectures (powerpc, in this case) may generate unexpected relocation
formats in response to this, preventing modules from loading.

While the new relocation types should probably be handled, revert to the
previous behaviour with regards to generation of .eh_frame sections.

doing any building against gcc-4.4 at present: RH bz#486545.)

53da1d9456 fix ptrace slowness
This patch fixes bug #12208:

  Bug-Entry       : http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12208
  Subject         : uml is very slow on 2.6.28 host

This turned out to be not a scheduler regression, but an already
existing problem in ptrace being triggered by subtle scheduler
changes.

The problem is this:

 - task A is ptracing task B
 - task B stops on a trace event
 - task A is woken up and preempts task B
 - task A calls ptrace on task B, which does ptrace_check_attach()
 - this calls wait_task_inactive(), which sees that task B is still on the runq
 - task A goes to sleep for a jiffy
 - ...

Since UML does lots of the above sequences, those jiffies quickly add
up to make it slow as hell.

This patch solves this by not rescheduling in read_unlock() after
ptrace_stop() has woken up the tracer.

Thanks to Oleg Nesterov and Ingo Molnar for the feedback.

This patch fixes the issue by removing offending (and somewhat
duplicate) code from init_phy() routine, and changes _probe()
function to use uec_mdio_bus_name().

Also, since we fully construct phy_bus_id in the _probe() routine,
we no longer need ->phy_address and ->mdio_bus fields in
ucc_geth_info structure.

I wish the patch would be a bit shorter, but it seems like the only
way to fix the issue in a sane way. Luckily, the patch has been
tested with real PHYs and fixed-link, so no further regressions
expected.

e3162d381f dm9000: locking bugfix
This fixes a locking bug in the dm9000 driver.  It calls
request_irq() without setting IRQF_DISABLED ... which is
correct for handlers that support IRQ sharing, since that
behavior is not guaranteed for shared IRQs.  However, its
IRQ handler then wrongly assumes that IRQs are blocked.
So the fix just uses the right spinlock primitives in the
IRQ handler.

NOTE:  this is a classic example of the type of bug which
lockdep currently masks by forcibly setting IRQF_DISABLED
on IRQ handlers that did not request that flag.

8faece5f90 eCryptfs: Allocate a variable number of pages for file headers
When allocating the memory used to store the eCryptfs header contents, a
single, zeroed page was being allocated with get_zeroed_page().
However, the size of an eCryptfs header is either PAGE_CACHE_SIZE or
ECRYPTFS_MINIMUM_HEADER_EXTENT_SIZE (8192), whichever is larger, and is
stored in the file's private_data->crypt_stat->num_header_bytes_at_front
field.

ecryptfs_write_metadata_to_contents() was using
num_header_bytes_at_front to decide how many bytes should be written to
the lower filesystem for the file header.  Unfortunately, at least 8K
was being written from the page, despite the chance of the single,
zeroed page being smaller than 8K.  This resulted in random areas of
kernel memory being written between the 0x1000 and 0x1FFF bytes offsets
in the eCryptfs file headers if PAGE_SIZE was 4K.

This patch allocates a variable number of pages, calculated with
num_header_bytes_at_front, and passes the number of allocated pages
along to ecryptfs_write_metadata_to_contents().

Thanks to Florian Streibelt for reporting the data leak and working with
me to find the problem.  2.6.28 is the only kernel release with this
vulnerability.  Corresponds to CVE-2009-0787

18a0d89e54 radeonfb: Whack the PCI PM register until it sticks
This fixes a regression introduced when we switched to using the core
pci_set_power_state().  The chip seems to need the state to be written
over and over again until it sticks, so we do that.

Note that the code is a bit blunt, without timeout, etc...  but that's
pretty much because I put back in there the code exactly as it used to
be before the regression.  I still add a call to pci_set_power_state()
at the end so that ACPI gets called appropriately on x86.

f3f9258678 nl80211: Check that function pointer != NULL before using it
NL80211_CMD_GET_MESH_PARAMS and NL80211_CMD_SET_MESH_PARAMS handlers
did not verify whether a function pointer is NULL (not supported by
the driver) before trying to call the function. The former nl80211
command is available for unprivileged users, too, so this can
potentially allow normal users to kill networking (or worse..) if
mac80211 is built without CONFIG_MAC80211_MESH=y.

65c24491b4 aio: lookup_ioctx can return the wrong value when looking up a bogus context
The libaio test harness turned up a problem whereby lookup_ioctx on a
bogus io context was returning the 1 valid io context from the list
(harness/cases/3.p).

Because of that, an extra put_iocontext was done, and when the process
exited, it hit a BUG_ON in the put_iocontext macro called from exit_aio
(since we expect a users count of 1 and instead get 0).

The problem was introduced by "aio: make the lookup_ioctx() lockless"
(commit abf137dd77).

Thanks to Zach for pointing out that hlist_for_each_entry_rcu will not
return with a NULL tpos at the end of the loop, even if the entry was
not found.

87c3a86e1c eventfd: remove fput() call from possible IRQ context
Remove a source of fput() call from inside IRQ context.  Myself, like Eric,
wasn't able to reproduce an fput() call from IRQ context, but Jeff said he was
able to, with the attached test program.  Independently from this, the bug is
conceptually there, so we might be better off fixing it.  This patch adds an
optimization similar to the one we already do on ->ki_filp, on ->ki_eventfd.
Playing with ->f_count directly is not pretty in general, but the alternative
here would be to add a brand new delayed fput() infrastructure, that I'm not
sure is worth it.

d0115552cd Move cc-option to below arch-specific setup
Sam Ravnborg says:
 "We have several architectures that plays strange games with $(CC) and
  $(CROSS_COMPILE).

  So we need to postpone any use of $(call cc-option..) until we have
  included the arch specific Makefile so we try with the correct $(CC)
  version."
