dbf498fbaf mac80211: Implement mesh synchronization framework
This patch adds MBSS extensible synchronization framework (Sec.
13.13.2 of IEEE Std. 802.11-2012).

The framework is implemented via an ops table which defines the
following functions:

    rx_bcn_presp() - this is called every time a mesh beacon is
received.
    adjust_tbtt() - this is called immediately before a beacon is about
to be transmitted.

The default neighbor offset synchronization defined in the standard is
implemented.  We also provide template functions for vendor specific
methods.

When neighbor offset synchronization is active (which is the default)
mesh neighbors in the same MBSS will track timing offsets to each other
and compensate clock drift.

In our tests we observed that this mesh synchronization implementation
successfully corrected drifts between stations of ~2PPM while
introducing a jitter of ~20us.

It is also possible to test this framework on mac80211_hwsim simulated
phys to see how it behaves under different topologies, over poor links,
etc.

a3304b0a17 cfg80211/nl80211: clarify TX queue API
With the plan to change mac80211's queue API to
not map ACs to queues 1:1, it seems necessary to
clarify some APIs that act on ACs rather than on
queues to spell that out explicitly. Do this.

Also verify that the AC number given is valid.

bf070bc141 usb: musb: wake the device before ulpi transfers
musb can be suspended at the time some other driver wants to do ulpi
transfers using usb_phy_io_* functions, and that can cause data abort,
as it happened with isp1704_charger:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1226122

Add pm_runtime to ulpi functions to rectify this. This also adds io_dev
to usb_phy so that pm_runtime_* functions can be used.

f01ee60fff regmap: implement register striding
regmap_config.reg_stride is introduced. All extant register addresses
are a multiple of this value. Users of serial-oriented regmap busses will
typically set this to 1. Users of the MMIO regmap bus will typically set
this based on the value size of their registers, in bytes, so 4 for a
32-bit register.

Throughout the regmap code, actual register addresses are used. Wherever
the register address is used to index some array of values, the address
is divided by the stride to determine the index, or vice-versa. Error-
checking is added to all entry-points for register address data to ensure
that register addresses actually satisfy the specified stride. The MMIO
bus ensures that the specified stride is large enough for the register
size.

d3c242e1f2 regmap: allow regmap instances to be named
Some devices have multiple separate register regions. Logically, one
regmap would be created per region. One issue that prevents this is that
each instance will attempt to create the same debugfs files. Avoid this
by allowing regmaps to be named, and use the name to construct the
debugfs directory name.

891a3b1fdd USB: fix bug in serial driver unregistration
This patch (as1536) fixes a bug in the USB serial core.  Unloading and
reloading a serial driver while a serial device is plugged in causes
errors because of the code in usb_serial_disconnect() that tries to
make sure the port_remove method is called.  With the new order of
driver registration introduced in the 3.4 kernel, this is definitely
not the right thing to do (if indeed it ever was).

The patch removes that whole section code, along with the mechanism
for keeping track of each port's registration state, which is no
longer needed.  The driver core can handle all that stuff for us.

Note: This has been tested only with one or two USB serial drivers.
In theory, other drivers might still run into trouble.  But if they
do, it will be the fault of the drivers, not of this patch -- that is,
the drivers will need to be fixed.

Perhaps we should move the ASYNC flags from serial.h to tty.h given
they are used by the tty layer and tty drivers, not only serial?

I wonder how this survived there during the whole 2.6 series until now
:D.

Callouts are not used for a decade, so let us remove it also from
isdn. This means removal of ISDN_ASYNC_CALLOUT_ACTIVE which is never
raised in info->flags and callout_termios which are never used.

This will help us to get rid of ISDN_ASYNC_* flags and use ASYNC ones
from serial.h. And then we will switch to tty_port.

bc02d15a34 serial/8250_pci: add a "force background timer" flag and use it for the "kt" serial port
Workaround dropped notifications in the iir register.  Register reads
coincident with new interrupt notifications sometimes result in this
device clearing the interrupt event without reporting it in the read
data.

The serial core already has a heuristic for determining when a device
has an untrustworthy iir register.  In this case when we apriori know
that the iir is faulty use a flag (UPF_BUG_THRE) to bypass the test and
force usage of the background timer.

49b532f96f Revert "serial/8250_pci: setup-quirk workaround for the kt serial controller"
This reverts commit 448ac154c9.

The semantic of UPF_IIR_ONCE is only guaranteed to workaround the race
condition in the kt serial's iir register if the only source of
interrupts is THRE (fifo-empty) events.  An modem status event at the
wrong time can again cause an iir read to drop the 'empty' status
leading to a hang.  So, revert this in preparation for using the
existing "I don't trust my iir register" workaround in the 8250 core
(UART_BUG_THRE).

kvm_io_bus devices are used for ioevent, pit, pic, ioapic,

Currently Qemu only emulates one PCI bus, it contains 32 slots,
one slot contains 8 functions, maximum of supported PCI devices:
 1 * 32 * 8 = 256. One virtio-blk takes one iobus device,
one virtio-net(vhost=on) takes two iobus devices.
The maximum of coalesced mmio zone is 100, each zone
has an iobus devices. So 300 io_bus devices are not enough.

1000 is a very large limit and not bloat the typical user.

1a48e2ac03 userns: Replace the hard to write inode_userns with inode_capable.
This represents a change in strategy of how to handle user namespaces.
Instead of tagging everything explicitly with a user namespace and bulking
up all of the comparisons of uids and gids in the kernel,  all uids and gids
in use will have a mapping to a flat kuid and kgid spaces respectively.  This
allows much more of the existing logic to be preserved and in general
allows for faster code.

In this new and improved world we allow someone to utiliize capabilities
over an inode if the inodes owner mapps into the capabilities holders user
namespace and the user has capabilities in their user namespace.  Which
is simple and efficient.

Moving the fs uid comparisons to be comparisons in a flat kuid space
follows in later patches, something that is only significant if you
are using user namespaces.

d0bd6594e2 userns: Deprecate and rename the user_namespace reference in the user_struct
With a user_ns reference in struct cred the only user of the user namespace
reference in struct user_struct is to keep the uid hash table alive.

The user_namespace reference in struct user_struct will be going away soon, and
I have removed all of the references.  Rename the field from user_ns to _user_ns
so that the compiler can verify nothing follows the user struct to the user
namespace anymore.

aeb3ae9da9 userns: Add an explicit reference to the parent user namespace
I am about to remove the struct user_namespace reference from struct user_struct.
So keep an explicit track of the parent user namespace.

Take advantage of this new reference and replace instances of user_ns->creator->user_ns
with user_ns->parent.

0093ccb68f cred: Refcount the user_ns pointed to by the cred.
struct user_struct will shortly loose it's user_ns reference
so make the cred user_ns reference a proper reference complete
with reference counting.
