184101bf14 oom: prevent livelock when oom_kill_allocating_task is set
When /proc/sys/vm/oom_kill_allocating_task is set for large systems that
want to avoid the lengthy tasklist scan, it's possible to livelock if
current is ineligible for oom kill.  This normally happens when it is set
to OOM_DISABLE, but is also possible if any threads are sharing the same
->mm with a different tgid.

So change __out_of_memory() to fall back to the full task-list scan if it
was unable to kill `current'.

df3935ffd6 fiemap: fix problem with setting FIEMAP_EXTENT_LAST
Fix a problem where the generic block based fiemap stuff would not
properly set FIEMAP_EXTENT_LAST on the last extent.  I've reworked things
to keep track if we go past the EOF, and mark the last extent properly.
The problem was reported by and tested by Eric Sandeen.

57adc4d2db Eliminate thousands of warnings with gcc 3.2 build
When building with gcc 3.2 I get thousands of warnings such as

include/linux/gfp.h: In function `allocflags_to_migratetype':
include/linux/gfp.h:105: warning: null format string

due to passing a NULL format string to warn_slowpath() in

#define __WARN()		warn_slowpath(__FILE__, __LINE__, NULL)

Split this case out into a separate call.  This also shrinks the kernel
slightly:

          text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
       4802274  707668  712704 6222646  5ef336 vmlinux
          text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
       4799027  703572  712704 6215303  5ed687 vmlinux

due to removeing one argument from the commonly-called __WARN().

381a80e6df inotify: use GFP_NOFS in kernel_event() to work around a lockdep false-positive
There is what we believe to be a false positive reported by lockdep.

inotify_inode_queue_event() => take inotify_mutex => kernel_event() =>
kmalloc() => SLOB => alloc_pages_node() => page reclaim => slab reclaim =>
dcache reclaim => inotify_inode_is_dead => take inotify_mutex => deadlock

The plan is to fix this via lockdep annotation, but that is proving to be
quite involved.

The patch flips the allocation over to GFP_NFS to shut the warning up, for
the 2.6.30 release.

Hopefully we will fix this for real in 2.6.31.  I'll queue a patch in -mm
to switch it back to GFP_KERNEL so we don't forget.

a425a638c8 Ignore madvise(MADV_WILLNEED) for hugetlbfs-backed regions
madvise(MADV_WILLNEED) forces page cache readahead on a range of memory
backed by a file.  The assumption is made that the page required is
order-0 and "normal" page cache.

On hugetlbfs, this assumption is not true and order-0 pages are
allocated and inserted into the hugetlbfs page cache.  This leaks
hugetlbfs page reservations and can cause BUGs to trigger related to
corrupted page tables.

This patch causes MADV_WILLNEED to be ignored for hugetlbfs-backed
regions.

2196d1cf4a i2c-algo-pca: Let PCA9564 recover from unacked data byte (state 0x30)
Currently, the i2c-algo-pca driver does nothing if the chip enters state
0x30 (Data byte in I2CDAT has been transmitted; NOT ACK has been
received).  Thus, the i2c bus connected to the controller gets stuck
afterwards.

I have seen this kind of error on a custom board in certain load
situations most probably caused by interference or noise.

A possible reaction is to let the controller generate a STOP condition.
This is documented in the PCA9564 data sheet (2006-09-01) and the same
is done for other NACK states as well.

Further, state 0x38 isn't handled completely, either. Try to do another
START in this case like the data sheet says. As this couldn't be tested,
I've added a comment to try to reset the chip if the START doesn't help
as suggested by Wolfram Sang.

0cdba07bb2 i2c-algo-bit: Fix timeout test
When fetching DDC using i2c algo bit, we were often seeing timeouts
before getting valid EDID on a retry. The VESA spec states 2ms is the
DDC timeout, so when this translates into 1 jiffie and we are close
to the end of the time period, it could return with a timeout less than
2ms.

Change this code to use time_after instead of time_after_eq.

get to run instructions *AT ALL* when an interrupt is asserted.
The interrupt code runs immediately and this recent bug fix
allows an interrupt to be possible when the interrupt handler
will reject it (due to the new code), when being called from
any path in the driver that holds the E1000_RESETTING flag.

the driver should use the __E1000_DOWN flag instead of the
__E1000_RESETTING flag to prevent interrupt execution
while reconfiguring the hardware.

65c90bca0d selinux: Fix send_sigiotask hook
The CRED patch incorrectly converted the SELinux send_sigiotask hook to

hook function.  Detected by the ltp selinux testsuite and confirmed to

f83ce3e6b0 proc: avoid information leaks to non-privileged processes
By using the same test as is used for /proc/pid/maps and /proc/pid/smaps,
only allow processes that can ptrace() a given process to see information
that might be used to bypass address space layout randomization (ASLR).
These include eip, esp, wchan, and start_stack in /proc/pid/stat as well
as the non-symbolic output from /proc/pid/wchan.

ASLR can be bypassed by sampling eip as shown by the proof-of-concept
code at http://code.google.com/p/fuzzyaslr/ As part of a presentation
(http://www.cr0.org/paper/to-jt-linux-alsr-leak.pdf) esp and wchan were
also noted as possibly usable information leaks as well.  The
start_stack address also leaks potentially useful information.

a67e899cf3 Bluetooth: Fix issue with sysfs handling for connections
Due to a semantic changes in flush_workqueue() the current approach of
synchronizing the sysfs handling for connections doesn't work anymore. The
whole approach is actually fully broken and based on assumptions that are
no longer valid.

With the introduction of Simple Pairing support, the creation of low-level
ACL links got changed. This change invalidates the reason why in the past
two independent work queues have been used for adding/removing sysfs
devices. The adding of the actual sysfs device is now postponed until the
host controller successfully assigns an unique handle to that link. So
the real synchronization happens inside the controller and not the host.

The only left-over problem is that some internals of the sysfs device
handling are not initialized ahead of time. This leaves potential access
to invalid data and can cause various NULL pointer dereferences. To fix
this a new function makes sure that all sysfs details are initialized
when an connection attempt is made. The actual sysfs device is only
registered when the connection has been successfully established. To
avoid a race condition with the registration, the check if a device is
registered has been moved into the removal work.

As an extra protection two flush_work() calls are left in place to
make sure a previous add/del work has been completed first.

9f722c0978 usbnet: CDC EEM support (v5)
This introduces a CDC Ethernet Emulation Model (EEM) host side
driver to support USB EEM devices.

EEM is different from the Ethernet Control Model (ECM) currently
supported by the "CDC Ethernet" driver.  One key difference is
that it doesn't require of USB interface alternate settings to
manage interface state; some maldesigned hardware can't handle
that part of USB.  It also avoids a separate USB interface for
control and status updates.

35d11680a9 x86: show number of core_siblings instead of thread_siblings in /proc/cpuinfo
Commit 7ad728f981
(cpumask: x86: convert cpu_sibling_map/cpu_core_map to cpumask_var_t)
changed the output of /proc/cpuinfo for siblings:

Example on an AMD Phenom:

  physical id   : 0
  siblings : 1
  core id	   : 3
  cpu cores  : 4

Before that commit it was:

  physical id	: 0
  siblings : 4
  core id	   : 3
  cpu cores  : 4

Instead of cpu_core_mask it now uses cpu_sibling_mask to count siblings.
This is due to the following hunk of above commit:

|  --- a/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/proc.c
|  +++ b/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/proc.c
|  @@ -14,7 +14,7 @@ static void show_cpuinfo_core(struct seq_file *m, struct cpuinf
|          if (c->x86_max_cores * smp_num_siblings > 1) {
|                  seq_printf(m, "physical id\t: %d\n", c->phys_proc_id);
|                  seq_printf(m, "siblings\t: %d\n",
|  -                          cpus_weight(per_cpu(cpu_core_map, cpu)));
|  +                          cpumask_weight(cpu_sibling_mask(cpu)));
|                  seq_printf(m, "core id\t\t: %d\n", c->cpu_core_id);
|                  seq_printf(m, "cpu cores\t: %d\n", c->booted_cores);
|                  seq_printf(m, "apicid\t\t: %d\n", c->apicid);

This was a mistake, because the impact line shows that this side-effect
was not anticipated:

   Impact: reduce per-cpu size for CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y

So revert the respective hunk to restore the old behavior.

028ecebdd8 kbuild, modpost: fix "unexpected non-allocatable" warning with SUSE gcc
Jean reported that he saw one warning for each module like the one below:
WARNING: arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/acpi-cpufreq.o (.comment.SUSE.OPTs): unexpected non-allocatable section.

The warning appeared with the improved version of the
check of the flags in the sections.

That check already ignored sections named ".comment" - but SUSE store
additional info in the comment section and has named it in a SUSE
specific way. Therefore modpost failed to ignore the section.

The fix is to extend the pattern so we ignore all sections
that start with the name ".comment.".
