This patch adds support for S3 memory integrity protection within an Intel(R)
TXT launched kernel, for all kernel and userspace memory. All RAM used by the
kernel and userspace, as indicated by memory ranges of type E820_RAM and
E820_RESERVED_KERN in the e820 table, will be integrity protected.
The MAINTAINERS file is also updated to reflect the maintainers of the
TXT-related code.
All MACing is done in tboot, based on a complexity analysis and tradeoff.
v3: Compared with v2, this patch adds a check of array size in
tboot.c, and a note to specify which c/s of tboot supports this kind
of MACing in intel_txt.txt.

This adds a driver for Ricoh R5C852 xD card reader.
This reader is a part of larger mulifunction chip
and found at least in R5C832
Driver is complete, but bewere of the fact that some
(probably only type M) xD cards are 'fake' which means that
they have an on board CPU and expose emulated nand command set
These cards don't even store the oob area on the flash,
but generate it on the fly from something else.
Thus they demand to have proper values written in the oob area,
and therefore only useful with SmartMedia FTL.

Replaces Hans Verkuil by Andy Walls as the ivtv maintainer.
After 4 1/2 years, Hans decided to hand over the ivtv driver to Andy.
Andy was already doing more work on ivtv than him, so this just makes
official what was happening in practice.

What it is: vhost net is a character device that can be used to reduce
the number of system calls involved in virtio networking.
Existing virtio net code is used in the guest without modification.
There's similarity with vringfd, with some differences and reduced scope
- uses eventfd for signalling
- structures can be moved around in memory at any time (good for
migration, bug work-arounds in userspace)
- write logging is supported (good for migration)
- support memory table and not just an offset (needed for kvm)
common virtio related code has been put in a separate file vhost.c and
can be made into a separate module if/when more backends appear. I used
Rusty's lguest.c as the source for developing this part : this supplied
me with witty comments I wouldn't be able to write myself.
What it is not: vhost net is not a bus, and not a generic new system
call. No assumptions are made on how guest performs hypercalls.
Userspace hypervisors are supported as well as kvm.
How it works: Basically, we connect virtio frontend (configured by
userspace) to a backend. The backend could be a network device, or a tap
device. Backend is also configured by userspace, including vlan/mac
etc.
Status: This works for me, and I haven't see any crashes.
Compared to userspace, people reported improved latency (as I save up to
4 system calls per packet), as well as better bandwidth and CPU
utilization.
Features that I plan to look at in the future:
- mergeable buffers
- zero copy
- scalability tuning: figure out the best threading model to use
Note on RCU usage (this is also documented in vhost.h, near
private_pointer which is the value protected by this variant of RCU):
what is happening is that the rcu_dereference() is being used in a
workqueue item. The role of rcu_read_lock() is taken on by the start of
execution of the workqueue item, of rcu_read_unlock() by the end of
execution of the workqueue item, and of synchronize_rcu() by
flush_workqueue()/flush_work(). In the future we might need to apply
some gcc attribute or sparse annotation to the function passed to
INIT_WORK(). Paul's ack below is for this RCU usage.
