25fc999913 kgdb: fix gdb serial thread queries
The command "info threads" did not work correctly with kgdb.  It would
result in a silent kernel hang if used.

This patach addresses several problems.
 - Fix use of deprecated NR_CPUS
 - Fix kgdb to not walk linearly through the pid space
 - Correctly implement shadow pids
 - Change the threads per query to a #define
 - Fix kgdb_hex2long to work with negated values

The threads 0 and -1 are reserved to represent the current task.  That
means that CPU 0 will start with a shadow thread id of -2, and CPU 1
will have a shadow thread id of -3, etc...

From the debugger you can switch to a shadow thread to see what one of
the other cpus was doing, however it is not possible to execute run
control operations on any other cpu execept the cpu executing the
kgdb_handle_exception().

a9b60bf4c2 kgdb: fix kgdb_validate_break_address to perform a mem write
A regression to the kgdb core was found in the case of using the
CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA kernel option.  When this option is on, a breakpoint
cannot be written into any readonly memory page.  When an external
debugger requests a breakpoint to get set, the
kgdb_validate_break_address() was only checking to see if the address
to place the breakpoint was readable and lacked a write check.

This patch changes the validate routine to try reading (via the
breakpoint set request) and also to try immediately writing the break
point.  If either fails, an error is correctly returned and the
debugger behaves correctly.  Then an end user can make the
descision to use hardware breakpoints.

Also update the documentation to reflect that using
CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA will inhibit the use of software breakpoints.

f6ed6f78d4 Fix rename of at91_nand -> atmel_nand
Structs called at91_nand_data where renamed to atmel_nand_data
and configs called *MTD_NAND_AT91* where renamed to
*MTD_NAND_ATMEL*. This was unfortunately not done consistently,
causing NAND chips not being initialised on several ARM boards.

I am aware that the author of the original change did not rename
MTD_NAND_AT91_BUSWIDTH to MTD_NAND_ATMEL_BUSWIDTH, for example.
All *MTD_NAND_AT91* where renamed to *MTD_NAND_ATMEL* in order
to keep naming consistency.

This patch was only tested on a MACH_SAM9_L9260, as this is the
only ARM board I have to my disposal.

Before this patch:

$ git-ls-files |xargs grep atmel_nand |wc -l
105
$ git-ls-files |xargs grep at91_nand |wc -l
4
$ git-ls-files |xargs grep MTD_NAND_ATMEL |wc -l
8
$ git-ls-files |xargs grep MTD_NAND_AT91 |wc -l
47

After this patch:

$ git-ls-files |xargs grep atmel_nand |wc -l
109
$ git-ls-files |xargs grep at91_nand |wc -l
0
$ git-ls-files |xargs grep MTD_NAND_ATMEL |wc -l

00b1304c4c tcp: MD5: Fix IPv6 signatures
Reported by Stefanos Harhalakis; although 2.6.27-rc1 talks to itself using IPv6
TCP MD5 packets just fine, Stefanos noted that tcpdump claimed that the
signatures were invalid.

I broke this in 49a72dfb88 ("tcp: Fix MD5
signatures for non-linear skbs"), it was just a typo.

Note that tcpdump will still sometimes claim that the signatures are incorrect.
A patch to tcpdump has been submitted for this[1].

90b7e1120b tcp: MD5: Fix MD5 signatures on certain ACK packets
I noticed, looking at tcpdumps, that timewait ACKs were getting sent
with an incorrect MD5 signature when signatures were enabled.

I broke this in 49a72dfb88 ("tcp: Fix
MD5 signatures for non-linear skbs"). I didn't take into account that
the skb passed to tcp_*_send_ack was the inbound packet, thus the
source and dest addresses need to be swapped when calculating the MD5
pseudoheader.

77e2f14f71 ipv6: Fix ip6_xmit to send fragments if ipfragok is true
SCTP used ip6_xmit() to send fragments after received ICMP packet too
big message. But while send packet used ip6_xmit, the skb->local_df is
not initialized. So when skb if enter ip6_fragment(), the following
code will discard the skb.

ip6_fragment(...)
{
    if (!skb->local_df) {
        ...
        return -EMSGSIZE;
    }
    ...
}

SCTP do the following step:
1. send packet ip6_xmit(skb, ipfragok=0)
2. received ICMP packet too big message
3. if PMTUD_ENABLE: ip6_xmit(skb, ipfragok=1)

This patch fixed the problem by set local_df if ipfragok is true.

bc4768eb08 ipvs: Move userspace definitions to include/linux/ip_vs.h
Current versions of ipvsadm include "/usr/src/linux/include/net/ip_vs.h"
directly. This file also contains kernel-only definitions. Normally, public
definitions should live in include/linux, so this patch moves the
definitions shared with userspace to a new file, "include/linux/ip_vs.h".

This also removes the unused NFC_IPVS_PROPERTY bitmask, which was once
used to point into skb->nfcache.

To make old ipvsadms still compile with this, the old header file includes
the new one.

Thanks to Dave Miller and Horms for noting/adding the missing Kbuild entry

* Stop warning about VxI mode, we don't really care.
* Drop comment about lack of limit initialization - that's the standard

* Only read the configuration register once.
* Only write back to the configuration register if needed.
* Don't attempt to clear the lock bit, it locks itself to 1.
* Move the function to before it's called, so that we no longer need to
  forware declare it.

9ebd3d822e hwmon: (lm75) add new-style driver binding
More LM75 updates:

 - Teach the LM75 driver to use new-style driver binding:

     * Create a second driver struct, using new-style driver binding
       methods cribbed from the legacy code.

     * Add a MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE (for "newER-style binding")

     * The legacy probe logic delegates its work to this new code.

     * The legacy driver now uses the name "lm75_legacy".

 - More careful initialization.  Chips are put into 9-bit mode so
   the current interconversion routines will never fail.

 - Save the original chip configuration, and restore it on exit.
   (Among other things, this normally turns off the mode where
   the chip is constantly sampling ... and thus saves power.)

So the new-style code should catch all chips that boards declare,
while the legacy code catches others.  This particular coexistence
strategy may need some work yet ... legacy modes might best be set
up explicitly by some tool not unlike "sensors-detect".  (Or else
completely eradicated...)

01a52397e9 hwmon: (lm75) cleanup/reorg
Minor cleanup and reorg of the lm75 code.

 - Kconfig provides a larger list of lm75-compatible chips

 - A top comment now says what the driver does (!) ... as in, just
   what sort of sensor is this??

 - Section comments now delineate the various sections of the driver:
   hwmon attributes, driver binding, register access, module glue.
   One driver binding function moved out of the attribute section,
   as did the driver struct itself.

 - Minor tweaks to legacy probe logic:  correct a comment, and
   remove a pointless variable.

 - Whitespace, linelength, and comment fixes.

This patch should include no functional changes.  It's preparation
for adding new-style (driver model) I2C driver binding.

otherwise you would call show_regs() which also invoked

539d826409 [PATCH 2/2] ocfs2: Fix race between mount and recovery
As the fs recovery is asynchronous, there is a small chance that another
node can mount (and thus recover) the slot before the recovery thread
gets to it.

If this happens, the recovery thread will block indefinitely on the
journal/slot lock as that lock will be held for the duration of the mount
(by design) by the node assigned to that slot.

The solution implemented is to keep track of the journal replays using
a recovery generation in the journal inode, which will be incremented by the
thread replaying that journal. The recovery thread, before attempting the
blocking lock on the journal/slot lock, will compare the generation on disk
with what it has cached and skip recovery if it does not match.

This bug appears to have been inadvertently introduced during the mount/umount
vote removal by mainline commit 34d024f843. In the
mount voting scheme, the messaging would indirectly indicate that the slot
was being recovered.

70526b6744 [PATCH] configfs: Pin configfs subsystems separately from new config_items.
configfs_mkdir() creates a new item by calling its parent's
->make_item/group() functions.  Once that object is created,
configfs_mkdir() calls try_module_get() on the new item's module.  If it
succeeds, the module owning the new item cannot be unloaded, and
configfs is safe to reference the item.

If the item and the subsystem it belongs to are part of the same module,
the subsystem is also pinned.  This is the common case.

However, if the subsystem is made up of multiple modules, this may not
pin the subsystem.  Thus, it would be possible to unload the toplevel
subsystem module while there is still a child item.  Thus, we now
try_module_get() the subsystem's module.  This only really affects
children of the toplevel subsystem group.  Deeper children already have
their parents pinned.

2e2ce171c3 [PATCH] configfs: Lock new directory inodes before removing on cleanup after failure
Once a new configfs directory is created by configfs_attach_item() or
configfs_attach_group(), a failure in the remaining initialization steps leads
to removing a directory which inode the VFS may have already accessed.

This commit adds the necessary inode locking to safely remove configfs
directories while cleaning up after a failure. As an advantage, the locking
rules of populate_groups() and detach_groups() become the same: the caller must
have the group's inode mutex locked.

        mutex_unlock("A/B")
        d_delete("A/B")
    detach_item("A")
    d_delete("A")

Two bugs:

1/ "A/B/C" and "A/C/E" are created, but never removed while their parent are
removed in the end. The same could happen with symlink() instead of mkdir().

2/ "A" and "A/C" inodes are not locked while detach_item() is called on them,
   which may probably confuse VFS.

This commit fixes 1/, tagging new directories with CONFIGFS_USET_CREATING before
building the inode and instantiating the dentry, and validating the whole
group+default groups hierarchy in a second pass by clearing
CONFIGFS_USET_CREATING.
	mkdir(), symlink(), lookup(), and dir_open() simply return -ENOENT if
called in (or linking to) a directory tagged with CONFIGFS_USET_CREATING. This
does not prevent userspace from calling stat() successfuly on such directories,
but this prevents userspace from adding (children to | symlinking from/to |
read/write attributes of | listing the contents of) not validated items. In
other words, userspace will not interact with the subsystem on a new item until
the new item creation completes correctly.
	It was first proposed to re-use CONFIGFS_USET_IN_MKDIR instead of a new
flag CONFIGFS_USET_CREATING, but this generated conflicts when checking the
target of a new symlink: a valid target directory in the middle of attaching
a new user-created child item could be wrongly detected as being attached.

2/ is fixed by next commit.

9a73d78cda [PATCH] configfs: Fix failing symlink() making rmdir() fail
On a similar pattern as mkdir() vs rmdir(), a failing symlink() may make rmdir()
fail for the symlink's parent and the symlink's target as well.

failing symlink() making target's rmdir() fail:

	process 1:				process 2:
	symlink("A/S" -> "B")
	  allow_link()
	  create_link()
	    attach to "B" links list
						rmdir("B")
						  detach_prep("B")
						    error because of new link
	    configfs_create_link("A", "S")
	      error (eg -ENOMEM)

failing symlink() making parent's rmdir() fail:

	process 1:				process 2:
	symlink("A/D/S" -> "B")
	  allow_link()
	  create_link()
	    attach to "B" links list
	    configfs_create_link("A/D", "S")
	      make_dirent("A/D", "S")
						rmdir("A")
						  detach_prep("A")
						    detach_prep("A/D")
						      error because of "S"
	      create("S")
	        error (eg -ENOMEM)

We cannot use the same solution as for mkdir() vs rmdir(), since rmdir() on the
target cannot wait on the i_mutex of the new symlink's parent without risking a
deadlock (with other symlink() or sys_rename()). Instead we define a global
mutex protecting all configfs symlinks attachment, so that rmdir() can avoid the
races above.

4768e9b18d [PATCH] configfs: Fix symlink() to a removing item
The rule for configfs symlinks is that symlinks always point to valid
config_items, and prevent the target from being removed. However,
configfs_symlink() only checks that it can grab a reference on the target item,
without ensuring that it remains alive until the symlink is correctly attached.

This patch makes configfs_symlink() fail whenever the target is being removed,
using the CONFIGFS_USET_DROPPING flag set by configfs_detach_prep() and
protected by configfs_dirent_lock.

This patch introduces a similar (weird?) behavior as with mkdir failures making
rmdir fail: if symlink() races with rmdir() of the parent directory (or its
youngest user-created ancestor if parent is a default group) or rmdir() of the
target directory, and then fails in configfs_create(), this can make the racing
rmdir() fail despite the concerned directory having no user-created entry (resp.
no symlink pointing to it or one of its default groups) in the end.
This behavior is fixed in later patches.

Since I can't see any reason why it fiddles with PATH at all this patch
therefore removes the PATH setting.

94aa3d716e kbuild: genksyms parser: fix the __attribute__ rule
We are having two kinds of problems with genksyms today: fake checksum
changes without actual ABI changes, and changes which we would rather like
to ignore (such as an additional field at the end of a structure that
modules are not supposed to touch, for example).

I have thought about ways to improve genksyms and compute checksums
differently to avoid those problems, but in the end I don't see a
fundamentally better way.  So here are some genksyms patches for at least
making the checksums more easily manageable, if we cannot fully fix them.

In addition to the bugfixes (the first two patches), this allows genksyms
to track checksum changes and report why a checksum changed (third patch),
and to selectively ignore changes (fourth patch).

This patch:

Gcc __attribute__ definitions may occur repeatedly, e.g.,

	static int foo __attribute__((__used__))
		       __attribute__((aligned (16)));

The genksyms parser does not understand this, and generates a syntax error.
Fix this case.
