15efbe7639 [SCTP]: Clean up naming conventions of sctp protocol/address family registration
I noticed while looking into some odd behavior in sctp, that the variable
name sctp_pf_inet6_specific was used twice to represent two different
pieces of data (its both a structure name and a pointer to that type of
structure), which is confusing to say the least, and potentially dangerous
depending on the variable scope.  This patch cleans that up, and makes the
protocol and address family registration names in SCTP more regular,
increasing readability.

21e43188f2 [IPCOMP]: Disable BH on output when using shared tfm
Because we use shared tfm objects in order to conserve memory,
(each tfm requires 128K of vmalloc memory), BH needs to be turned
off on output as that can occur in process context.

Previously this was done implicitly by the xfrm output code.
That was lost when it became lockless.  So we need to add the
BH disabling to IPComp directly.

rt2x00lib_reset_link_tuner() can be called from within

Reorder the things that should be done during a
link tuner reset and during a link tuner start.

Also make antenna tuning the last step of the link
tuner since it could possibly reset some statistical
information which we need for average calculation.

1) the following statement will always return true.

325d6f5593 avr32: Fix OCD refcounting bug
Iff the parent has TIF_DEBUG set, _and_ clone_flags includes
CLONE_PTRACE we should set the TIF_DEBUG flag for the child and
increment the ocd refcount. Otherwise, the TIF_DEBUG flag must be
unset.

Currently, the child inherits TIF_DEBUG from the parent before
copy_thread is called, so TIF_DEBUG may be already be set before we
determine whether the child is supposed to inherit debugging
capabilities from the parent or not. This means that ocd_enable()
won't increment the refcount, because TIF_DEBUG is already set, and
that TIF_DEBUG will be set for processes that aren't being debugged.

This leads to a refcounting asymmetry, which may show up as

------------[ cut here ]------------
Badness at arch/avr32/kernel/ocd.c:73
PC is at ocd_disable+0x34/0x60
LR is at put_lock_stats+0xa/0x20

as reported by David Brownell. Happens when strace'ing a process that
forks a new child process, e.g. "strace mount -tjffs2 mtd1 /mnt", and
subsequently killing the child process (e.g. "umount /mnt".)

b37d428b24 [INET]: Don't create tunnels with '%' in name.
Four tunnel drivers (ip_gre, ipip, ip6_tunnel and sit) can receive a
pre-defined name for a device from the userspace.  Since these drivers
call the register_netdevice() (rtnl_lock, is held), which does _not_
generate the device's name, this name may contain a '%' character.

Not sure how bad is this to have a device with a '%' in its name, but
all the other places either use the register_netdev(), which call the
dev_alloc_name(), or explicitly call the dev_alloc_name() before
registering, i.e. do not allow for such names.

This had to be prior to the commit 34cc7b, but I forgot to number the
patches and this one got lost, sorry.

148f97292e [IPV4]: Reset scope when changing address
This bug did bite at least one user, who did have to resort to rebooting
the system after an "ifconfig eth0 127.0.0.1" typo.

Deleting the address and adding a new is a less intrusive workaround.
But I still beleive this is a bug that should be fixed.  Some way or
another.

Another possibility would be to remove the scope mangling based on
address.  This will always be incomplete (are 127/8 the only address
space with host scope requirements?)

We set the scope to RT_SCOPE_HOST if an IPv4 interface is configured
with a loopback address (127/8).  The scope is never reset, and will
remain set to RT_SCOPE_HOST after changing the address. This patch
resets the scope if the address is changed again, to restore normal
functionality.

3dbf8d56a2 [MACVLAN]: Update Kconfig to refer to iproute
Since the macvlan release I had at least 5 users asking how to configure
it since the old userspace tool doesn't work with the version in the
kernel. Add a pointer to the Kconfig help.

622eaec613 [SPARC64]: Loosen checks in exception table handling.
Some parts of the kernel now do things like do *_user() accesses while
set_fs(KERNEL_DS) that fault on purpose.

See, for example, the code added by changeset
a0c1e9073e ("futex: runtime enable pi
and robust functionality").

That trips up the ASI sanity checking we make in do_kernel_fault().

Just remove it for now.  Maybe we can add it back later with an added
conditional which looks at the current get_fs() value.
