5bb459bb45 kernel: rename is_single_threaded(task) to current_is_single_threaded(void)
- is_single_threaded(task) is not safe unless task == current,
  we can't use task->signal or task->mm.

- it doesn't make sense unless task == current, the task can
  fork right after the check.

5c9228f0cf vt: drop bootmem/slab memory distinction
Bootmem is not used for the vt screen buffer anymore as slab is now
available at the time the console is initialized.

Get rid of the now superfluous distinction between slab and bootmem,
it's always slab.

This also fixes a kmalloc leak which Catalin described thusly:

Commit a5f4f52e ("vt: use kzalloc() instead of the bootmem allocator")
replaced the alloc_bootmem() with kzalloc() but didn't set vc_kmalloced to
1 and the memory block is later leaked.  The corresponding kmemleak trace:

43237b5490 ext3: Get rid of extenddisksize parameter of ext3_get_blocks_handle()
Get rid of extenddisksize parameter of ext3_get_blocks_handle(). This seems to
be a relict from some old days and setting disksize in this function does not
make much sence. Currently it was set only by ext3_getblk().  Since the
parameter has some effect only if create == 1, it is easy to check that the
three callers which end up calling ext3_getblk() with create == 1 (ext3_append,
ext3_quota_write, ext3_mkdir) do the right thing and set disksize themselves.

1dacc76d00 net/compat/wext: send different messages to compat tasks
Wireless extensions have the unfortunate problem that events
are multicast netlink messages, and are not independent of
pointer size. Thus, currently 32-bit tasks on 64-bit platforms
cannot properly receive events and fail with all kinds of
strange problems, for instance wpa_supplicant never notices
disassociations, due to the way the 64-bit event looks (to a
32-bit process), the fact that the address is all zeroes is
lost, it thinks instead it is 00:00:00:00:01:00.

The same problem existed with the ioctls, until David Miller
fixed those some time ago in an heroic effort.

A different problem caused by this is that we cannot send the
ASSOCREQIE/ASSOCRESPIE events because sending them causes a
32-bit wpa_supplicant on a 64-bit system to overwrite its
internal information, which is worse than it not getting the
information at all -- so we currently resort to sending a
custom string event that it then parses. This, however, has a
severe size limitation we are frequently hitting with modern
access points; this limitation would can be lifted after this
patch by sending the correct binary, not custom, event.

A similar problem apparently happens for some other netlink
users on x86_64 with 32-bit tasks due to the alignment for
64-bit quantities.

In order to fix these problems, I have implemented a way to
send compat messages to tasks. When sending an event, we send
the non-compat event data together with a compat event data in
skb_shinfo(main_skb)->frag_list. Then, when the event is read
from the socket, the netlink code makes sure to pass out only
the skb that is compatible with the task. This approach was
suggested by David Miller, my original approach required
always sending two skbs but that had various small problems.

To determine whether compat is needed or not, I have used the
MSG_CMSG_COMPAT flag, and adjusted the call path for recv and
recvfrom to include it, even if those calls do not have a cmsg
parameter.

I have not solved one small part of the problem, and I don't
think it is necessary to: if a 32-bit application uses read()
rather than any form of recvmsg() it will still get the wrong
(64-bit) event. However, neither do applications actually do
this, nor would it be a regression.

b3a633c852 personality handling: fix PER_CLEAR_ON_SETID for security reasons
We have found that the current PER_CLEAR_ON_SETID mask on Linux
doesn't include neither ADDR_COMPAT_LAYOUT, nor MMAP_PAGE_ZERO.

The current mask is READ_IMPLIES_EXEC|ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE.

We believe it is important to add MMAP_PAGE_ZERO, because by using
this personality it is possible to have the first page mapped inside a
process running as setuid root. This could be used in those scenarios:

- Exploiting a NULL pointer dereference issue in a setuid root binary
- Bypassing the mmap_min_addr restrictions of the Linux kernel: by
running a setuid binary that would drop privileges before giving us
control back (for instance by loading a user-supplied library), we
could get the first page mapped in a process we control. By further
using mremap and mprotect on this mapping, we can then completely
bypass the mmap_min_addr restrictions.

Less importantly, we believe ADDR_COMPAT_LAYOUT should also be added
since on x86 32bits it will in practice disable most of the address
space layout randomization (only the stack will remain randomized).

c99e6efe1b sched: INIT_PREEMPT_COUNT
Pull the initial preempt_count value into a single
definition site.

Maintainers for: alpha, ia64 and m68k, please have a look,
your arch code is funny.

The header magic is a bit odd, but similar to the KERNEL_DS
one, CPP waits with expanding these macros until the
INIT_THREAD_INFO macro itself is expanded, which is in
arch/*/kernel/init_task.c where we've already included
sched.h so we're good.

3e5d7649a6 cfg80211: let SME control reassociation vs. association
Since we don't really know that well in the kernel,
let's let the SME control whether it wants to use
reassociation or not, by allowing it to give the
previous BSSID in the associate() parameters.

1be491fca1 rfkill: prep for rfkill API changes
We've designed the /dev/rfkill API in a way that we
can increase the event struct by adding members at
the end, should it become necessary. To validate the
events, userspace and the kernel need to have the
proper event size to check for -- when reading from
the other end they need to verify that it's at least
version 1 of the event API, with the current struct
size, so define a constant for that and make the
code a little more 'future proof'.

Not that I expect that we'll have to change the event
size any time soon, but it's better to write the code
in a way that lends itself to extending.

Due to the current size of the event struct, the code
is currently equivalent, but should the event struct
ever need to be increased the new code might not need
changing.

b23aa676ab cfg80211: connect/disconnect API
This patch introduces the cfg80211 connect/disconnect API.
The goal here is to run the AUTH and ASSOC steps in one call.
This is needed for some fullmac cards that run both steps
directly from the target, after the host driver sends a
connect command.

Additionally, all the new crypto parameters for connect()
are now also valid for associate() -- although associate
requires the IEs to be used, the information can be useful
for drivers and should be given.

aff89a9b90 cfg80211: introduce nl80211 testmode command
This introduces a new NL80211_CMD_TESTMODE for testing
and calibration use with nl80211. There's no multiplexing
like like iwpriv had, and the command is not available by
default, it needs to be explicitly enabled in Kconfig and
shouldn't be enabled in most kernels.

The command requires a wiphy index or interface index to
identify the device to operate on, and the new TESTDATA
attribute. There also is API for sending replies to the
command, and testmode multicast messages (on a testmode
multicast group).

I've also updated mac80211 to be able to pass through the
command to the driver, since it itself doesn't implement
the testmode command.

Additionally, to give people an idea of how to use the
command, I've added a little code to hwsim that makes use
of the new command to set the powersave mode, this is
currently done via debugfs and should remain there, and
the testmode command only serves as an example of how to
use this best -- with nested netlink attributes in the
TESTDATA attribute. A hwsim testmode tool can be found at
http://git.sipsolutions.net/hwsim.git/. This tool is BSD
licensed so people can easily use it as a basis for their
own internal fabrication and validation tools.

ecb554a846 block: fix sg SG_DXFER_TO_FROM_DEV regression
I overlooked SG_DXFER_TO_FROM_DEV support when I converted sg to use
the block layer mapping API (2.6.28).

Douglas Gilbert explained SG_DXFER_TO_FROM_DEV:

http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-scsi/msg37135.html

=
The semantics of SG_DXFER_TO_FROM_DEV were:
   - copy user space buffer to kernel (LLD) buffer
   - do SCSI command which is assumed to be of the DATA_IN
     (data from device) variety. This would overwrite
     some or all of the kernel buffer
   - copy kernel (LLD) buffer back to the user space.

The idea was to detect short reads by filling the original
user space buffer with some marker bytes ("0xec" it would
seem in this report). The "resid" value is a better way
of detecting short reads but that was only added this century
and requires co-operation from the LLD.
=

This patch changes the block layer mapping API to support this
semantics. This simply adds another field to struct rq_map_data and
enables __bio_copy_iov() to copy data from user space even with READ
requests.

It's better to add the flags field and kills null_mapped and the new
from_user fields in struct rq_map_data but that approach makes it
difficult to send this patch to stable trees because st and osst
drivers use struct rq_map_data (they were converted to use the block
layer in 2.6.29 and 2.6.30). Well, I should clean up the block layer
mapping API.

f9f868dbcc timer stats: fix quick check optimization
git commit 507e1231 "timer stats: Optimize by adding quick check to
avoid function calls" added one wrong check so that one unnecessary
function call isn't elimated.

time_stats_account_hrtimer() checks if timer->start_pid isn't
initialized in order to find out if timer_stats_update_stats() should
be called.  However start_pid is initialized with -1 instead of 0, so
that the function call always happens.

Check timer->start_site like in timer_stats_account_timer() to fix
this.

6ff7041dbf hrtimer: Fix migration expiry check
The timer migration expiry check should prevent the migration of a
timer to another CPU when the timer expires before the next event is
scheduled on the other CPU. Migrating the timer might delay it because
we can not reprogram the clock event device on the other CPU. But the
code implementing that check has two flaws:

- for !HIGHRES the check compares the expiry value with the clock
  events device expiry value which is wrong for CLOCK_REALTIME based
  timers.

- the check is racy. It holds the hrtimer base lock of the target CPU,
  but the clock event device expiry value can be modified
  nevertheless, e.g. by an timer interrupt firing.

The !HIGHRES case is easy to fix as we can enqueue the timer on the
cpu which was selected by the load balancer. It runs the idle
balancing code once per jiffy anyway. So the maximum delay for the
timer is the same as when we keep the tick on the current cpu going.

In the HIGHRES case we can get the next expiry value from the hrtimer
cpu_base of the target CPU and serialize the update with the cpu_base
lock. This moves the lock section in hrtimer_interrupt() so we can set
next_event to KTIME_MAX while we are handling the expired timers and
set it to the next expiry value after we handled the timers under the
base lock. While the expired timers are processed timer migration is
blocked because the expiry time of the timer is always <= KTIME_MAX.

Also remove the now useless clockevents_get_next_event() function.
