e49dc19c6a ftrace: function graph return for function entry
Impact: feature, let entry function decide to trace or not

This patch lets the graph tracer entry function decide if the tracing
should be done at the end as well. This requires all function graph
entry functions return 1 if it should trace, or 0 if the return should
not be traced.

14a866c567 ftrace: add ftrace_graph_stop()
Impact: new ftrace_graph_stop function

While developing more features of function graph, I hit a bug that
caused the WARN_ON to trigger in the prepare_ftrace_return function.
Well, it was hard for me to find out that was happening because the
bug would not print, it would just cause a hard lockup or reboot.
The reason is that it is not safe to call printk from this function.

Looking further, I also found that it calls unregister_ftrace_graph,
which grabs a mutex and calls kstop machine. This would definitely
lock the box up if it were to trigger.

This patch adds a fast and safe ftrace_graph_stop() which will
stop the function tracer. Then it is safe to call the WARN ON.

8789a9e7df ring-buffer: read page interface
Impact: new API to ring buffer

This patch adds a new interface into the ring buffer that allows a
page to be read from the ring buffer on a given CPU. For every page
read, one must also be given to allow for a "swap" of the pages.

 rpage = ring_buffer_alloc_read_page(buffer);
 if (!rpage)
	goto err;
 ret = ring_buffer_read_page(buffer, &rpage, cpu, full);
 if (!ret)
	goto empty;
 process_page(rpage);
 ring_buffer_free_read_page(rpage);

The caller of these functions must handle any waits that are
needed to wait for new data. The ring_buffer_read_page will simply
return 0 if there is no data, or if "full" is set and the writer
is still on the current page.

The previous patch from Alan Cox ("nfsd: fix vm overcommit crash",
commit 731572d39f) fixed the problem where
knfsd crashes on exported shmemfs objects and strict overcommit is set.

But the patch forgot supporting the case when CONFIG_SECURITY is

6636487e8d amd74xx: workaround unreliable AltStatus register for nVidia controllers
It seems that on some nVidia controllers using AltStatus register
can be unreliable so default to Status register if the PCI device
is in Compatibility Mode.  In order to achieve this:

* Add ide_pci_is_in_compatibility_mode() inline helper to <linux/ide.h>.

* Add IDE_HFLAG_BROKEN_ALTSTATUS host flag and set it in amd74xx host
  driver for nVidia controllers in Compatibility Mode.

* Teach actual_try_to_identify() and drive_is_ready() about the new flag.

This fixes the regression caused by removal of CONFIG_IDEPCI_SHARE_IRQ
config option in 2.6.25 and using AltStatus register unconditionally when
available (kernel.org bugs #11659 and #10216).

[ Moreover for CONFIG_IDEPCI_SHARE_IRQ=y (which is what most people
  and distributions use) it never worked correctly. ]

Thanks to Remy LABENE and Lars Winterfeld for help with debugging the problem.

7ef9964e6d epoll: introduce resource usage limits
It has been thought that the per-user file descriptors limit would also
limit the resources that a normal user can request via the epoll
interface.  Vegard Nossum reported a very simple program (a modified
version attached) that can make a normal user to request a pretty large
amount of kernel memory, well within the its maximum number of fds.  To
solve such problem, default limits are now imposed, and /proc based
configuration has been introduced.  A new directory has been created,
named /proc/sys/fs/epoll/ and inside there, there are two configuration
points:

  max_user_instances = Maximum number of devices - per user

  max_user_watches   = Maximum number of "watched" fds - per user

The current default for "max_user_watches" limits the memory used by epoll
to store "watches", to 1/32 of the amount of the low RAM.  As example, a
256MB 32bit machine, will have "max_user_watches" set to roughly 90000.
That should be enough to not break existing heavy epoll users.  The
default value for "max_user_instances" is set to 128, that should be
enough too.

This also changes the userspace, because a new error code can now come out
from EPOLL_CTL_ADD (-ENOSPC).  The EMFILE from epoll_create() was already
listed, so that should be ok.

7a9d402053 Bluetooth: Send HCI Reset command by default on device initialization
The Bluetooth subsystem was not using the HCI Reset command when doing
device initialization. The Bluetooth 1.0b specification was ambiguous
on how the device firmware was suppose to handle it. Almost every device
was triggering a transport reset at the same time. In case of USB this
ended up in disconnects from the bus.

All modern Bluetooth dongles handle this perfectly fine and a lot of
them actually require that HCI Reset is sent. If not then they are
either stuck in their HID Proxy mode or their internal structures for
inquiry and paging are not correctly setup.

To handle old and new devices smoothly the Bluetooth subsystem contains
a quirk to force the HCI Reset on initialization. However maintaining
such a quirk becomes more and more complicated. This patch turns the
logic around and lets the old devices disable the HCI Reset command.

The only device where the HCI_QUIRK_NO_RESET is still needed are the
original Digianswer devices and dongles with an early CSR firmware.

CSR reported that they fixed this for version 12 firmware. The last
official release of version 11 firmware is build ID 115. The first
version 12 candidate was build ID 117.

9a5aa622dd mlx4_core: Save/restore default port IB capability mask
Commit 7ff93f8b ("mlx4_core: Multiple port type support") introduced
support for different port types.  As part of that support, SET_PORT
is invoked to set the port type during driver startup.  However, as a
side-effect, for IB ports the invocation of this command also sets the
port's capability mask to zero (losing the default value set by FW).

To fix this, get the default ib port capabilities (via a MAD_IFC Port
Info query) during driver startup, and save them for use in the
mlx4_SET_PORT command when setting the port-type to Infiniband.

This patch fixes problems with subnet manager (SM) failover such as
<https://bugs.openfabrics.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1183>, which occurred
because the IsTrapSupported bit in the capability mask was zeroed.

abstraction layer.

Generic PHY device starts supporting PM.

In order to support the wake-on LAN and avoid to put in power down
the PHY device, the MDIO is aware of what the Ethernet device wants to do.

Voluntary, no CONFIG_PM defines were added into the sources.
Also generic suspend/resume functions are exported to allow
other drivers use them (such as genphy_config_aneg etc.).

Within the phy_driver_register function, we need to remove the
memset. It overrides the device driver owner and it is not good.

cleaning up in x86/irq. The two branches started out independent,
but as unexpected amount of activity went into x86/irq, they became
dependent. Resolve that by this cross-merge.

8b752e3ef6 softirq: remove useless function __local_bh_enable
Impact: remove unused code

__local_bh_enable has been replaced with _local_bh_enable.
As comments says "it always nests inside local_bh_enable() sections"
has not been valid now. Also there is no reason to use __local_bh_enable
anywhere, so we can remove this useless function.

487ff32082 Allow architectures to override copy_user_highpage()
With aliasing VIPT cache support, the ARM implementation of
clear_user_page() and copy_user_page() sets up a temporary kernel space
mapping such that we have the same cache colour as the userspace page.
This avoids having to consider any userspace aliases from this operation.

However, when highmem is enabled, kmap_atomic() have to setup mappings.
The copy_user_highpage() and clear_user_highpage() call these functions
before delegating the copies to copy_user_page() and clear_user_page().

The effect of this is that each of the *_user_highpage() functions setup
their own kmap mapping, followed by the *_user_page() functions setting
up another mapping.  This is rather wasteful.

Thankfully, copy_user_highpage() can be overriden by architectures by
defining __HAVE_ARCH_COPY_USER_HIGHPAGE.  However, replacement of
clear_user_highpage() is more difficult because its inline definition
is not conditional.  It seems that you're expected to define
__HAVE_ARCH_ALLOC_ZEROED_USER_HIGHPAGE and provide a replacement
__alloc_zeroed_user_highpage() implementation instead.

The allocation itself is fine, so we don't want to override that.  What
we really want to do is to override clear_user_highpage() with our own
version which doesn't kmap_atomic() unnecessarily.

Other VIPT architectures (PARISC and SH) would also like to override
this function as well.

d211af055d i386: get rid of the use of KPROBE_ENTRY / KPROBE_END
entry_32.S is now the only user of KPROBE_ENTRY / KPROBE_END,
treewide. This patch reorders entry_64.S and explicitly generates
a separate section for functions that need the protection. The
generated code before and after the patch is equal.

The KPROBE_ENTRY and KPROBE_END macro's are removed too.

e899b6485c ACPICA: disable _BIF warning
A generic work-around from ACPICA is in the queue,
but since Linux has a work-around in its battery
driver, we can disable this warning now.

95a28ed086 ACPICA: Allow _WAK method to return an Integer
This can happen if the _WAK method returns nothing (as per ACPI
1.0) but does return an integer if the implicit return mechanism
is enabled.  This is the only method that has this problem,
since it is also defined to return a package of two integers
(ACPI 1.0b+). In all other cases, if a method returns an object
when one was not expected, no warning is issued.

5f23b73496 net: Fix soft lockups/OOM issues w/ unix garbage collector
This is an implementation of David Miller's suggested fix in:
  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=470201

It has been updated to use wait_event() instead of
wait_event_interruptible().

Paraphrasing the description from the above report, it makes sendmsg()
block while UNIX garbage collection is in progress. This avoids a
situation where child processes continue to queue new FDs over a
AF_UNIX socket to a parent which is in the exit path and running
garbage collection on these FDs. This contention can result in soft
lockups and oom-killing of unrelated processes.
