bcf0b08807 [POWERPC] Move to runtime allocated exception stacks
For the additonal exception levels (critical, debug, machine check) on
40x/book-e we were using "static" allocations of the stack in the
associated head.S.

Move to a runtime allocation to make the code a bit easier to read as
we mimic how we handle IRQ stacks.  Its also a bit easier to setup the
stack with a "dummy" thread_info in C code.

This is patch 2 of 2 adding support for the USB High Speed Device Port
on the AT91CAP9 system on chip. The AT91CAP9 uses the same UDPHS IP

This patch declares the UDPHS ressources in the at91cap9 (cpu and

and activates the driver in the defconfig.

1e5c594607 [ARM] 5067/1: _raw_write_can_lock macro bugfix
The current __raw_write_can_lock macro tests whether the lock can be
locked by checking if it is equal to 0x80000000, whereas the lock
should be lockable if its value is 0 i.e. unlocked state is

ad90c0e3ce ftrace: user update and disable dynamic ftrace daemon
In dynamic ftrace, the mcount function starts off pointing to a stub
function that just returns.

On start up, the call to the stub is modified to point to a "record_ip"
function. The job of the record_ip function is to add the function to
a pre-allocated hash list. If the function is already there, it simply is
ignored, otherwise it is added to the list.

Later, a ftraced daemon wakes up and calls kstop_machine if any functions
have been recorded, and changes the calls to the recorded functions to
a simple nop.  If no functions were recorded, the daemon goes back to sleep.

The daemon wakes up once a second to see if it needs to update any newly
recorded functions into nops.  Usually it does not, but if a lot of code
has been executed for the first time in the kernel, the ftraced daemon
will call kstop_machine to update those into nops.

The problem currently is that there's no way to stop the daemon from doing
this, and it can cause unneeded latencies (800us which for some is bothersome).

This patch adds a new file /debugfs/tracing/ftraced_enabled. If the daemon
is active, reading this will return "enabled\n" and "disabled\n" when the
daemon is not running. To disable the daemon, the user can echo "0" or
"disable" into this file, and "1" or "enable" to re-enable the daemon.

Since the daemon is used to convert the functions into nops to increase
the performance of the system, I also added that anytime something is
written into the ftraced_enabled file, kstop_machine will run if there
are new functions that have been detected that need to be converted.

This way the user can disable the daemon but still be able to control the
conversion of the mcount calls to nops by simply,

  "echo 0 > /debugfs/tracing/ftraced_enabled"

when they need to do more conversions.

To see the number of converted functions:

  "cat /debugfs/tracing/dyn_ftrace_total_info"

Of course, for non-x86, you kind of have to expect drivers to be
well-behaved, so non-x86 can probably avoid this simply because there are
less relevant drivers involved.

Here's a UNTESTED patch for x86 that may or may not compile and work, and
which serializes (on a compiler level) the IO accesses against regular
memory accesses.

__read[bwlq]()/__write[bwlq]() are not serialized with a :"memory"
barrier, although since they still use "asm volatile" I suspect that i
practice they are probably serial too. Did not look very closely at any
generated code (only did a trivial test to see that the code looks
*roughly* correct).

d02d6be5d5 sh: fix miscompilation of ip_fast_csum with gcc >= 4.3
As noted by Matthew Wilcox:

    Kyle McMartin just tracked down a bug on parisc to a missing
    "memory" clobber in the inline assembly implementation of
    ip_fast_csum.  The FRV, SH and Xtensa ports are also missing a
    memory clobber, so I thought it would be polite to let you know.

    The bug manifests as dropped network packets (obviously they have
    the wrong checksum).  It started appearing for parisc with GCC 4.3.

    The GCC manual says:

     If your assembler instructions access memory in an unpredictable
     fashion, add `memory' to the list of clobbered registers.  This
     will cause GCC to not keep memory values cached in registers
     across the assembler instruction and not optimize stores or loads
     to that memory.

    I see that FRV has a 400 byte memory output which may prevent this
    problem from appearing, but SH and Xtensa have nothing to prevent
    this bug.  Hope this saves you a few days of debugging.

ca05a99a54 capabilities: remain source compatible with 32-bit raw legacy capability support.
Source code out there hard-codes a notion of what the
_LINUX_CAPABILITY_VERSION #define means in terms of the semantics of the
raw capability system calls capget() and capset().  Its unfortunate, but
true.

Since the confusing header file has been in a released kernel, there is
software that is erroneously using 64-bit capabilities with the semantics
of 32-bit compatibilities.  These recently compiled programs may suffer
corruption of their memory when sys_getcap() overwrites more memory than
they are coded to expect, and the raising of added capabilities when using
sys_capset().

As such, this patch does a number of things to clean up the situation
for all. It

  1. forces the _LINUX_CAPABILITY_VERSION define to always retain its
     legacy value.

  2. adopts a new #define strategy for the kernel's internal
     implementation of the preferred magic.

  3. deprecates v2 capability magic in favor of a new (v3) magic
     number. The functionality of v3 is entirely equivalent to v2,
     the only difference being that the v2 magic causes the kernel
     to log a "deprecated" warning so the admin can find applications
     that may be using v2 inappropriately.

[User space code continues to be encouraged to use the libcap API which
protects the application from details like this.  libcap-2.10 is the first
to support v3 capabilities.]

Fixes issue reported in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=447518.

5adad01339 Input: rename SW_RADIO to SW_RFKILL_ALL
The SW_RADIO code for EV_SW events has a name that is not descriptive
enough of its intended function, and could induce someone to think
KEY_RADIO is its EV_KEY counterpart, which is false.

Rename it to SW_RFKILL_ALL, and document what this event is for.  Keep
the old name around, to avoid userspace ABI breaks.

The SW_RFKILL_ALL event is meant to be used by rfkill master switches.  It
is not bound to a particular radio switch type, and usually applies to all
types.  It is semantically tied to master rfkill switches that enable or
disable every radio in a system.

bebd9a455b [S390] s390 types: make dma_addr_t 64 bit capable
virtio tests with guests larger than 4 GB revealed that the dma_addr_t
definition for s390 did not make it into the 64bit world.
This patch changes the definition on s390 to have an u64 on 64bit and
u32 on 32bit systems.

b4f68be6c5 virtio: force callback on empty.
virtio allows drivers to suppress callbacks (ie. interrupts) for
efficiency (no locking, it's just an optimization).

There's a similar mechanism for the host to suppress notifications
coming from the guest: in that case, we ignore the suppression if the
ring is completely full.

It turns out that life is simpler if the host similarly ignores
callback suppression when the ring is completely empty: the network
driver wants to free up old packets in a timely manner, and otherwise
has to use a timer to poll.

We have to remove the code which ignores interrupts when the driver
has disabled them (again, it had no locking and hence was unreliable
anyway).

7757f09c70 virtio_blk: fix endianess annotations
Since commit 72e61eb40b (virtio: change config
to guest endian) config space is no longer fixed endian.

Lets change the virtio_blk_config variables.

7f31fe0500 virtio_config: fix len calculation of config elements
Rusty,

This patch is a prereq for the virtio_blk blocksize patch, please apply it
first.

Adding an u32 value to the virtio_blk_config unconvered a small bug the config
space defintions:
v is a pointer, to we have to use sizeof(*v) instead of sizeof(v).

f7f510ec19 virtio: An entropy device, as suggested by hpa.
Note that by itself, having a "hardware" random generator does very
little: you should probably run "rngd" in your guest to feed this into
the kernel entropy pool.

Included:
	virtio_rng: dont use vmalloced addresses for virtio

	If virtio_rng is build as a module, random_data is an address
	in vmalloc space. As virtio expects guest real addresses, this
	can cause any kind of funny behaviour, so lets allocate
	random_data dynamically with kmalloc.

3ef5360954 virtio_blk: allow read-only disks
Hello Rusty,

sometimes it is useful to share a disk (e.g. usr). To avoid file system
corruption, the disk should be mounted read-only in that case. This patch
adds a new feature flag, that allows the host to specify, if the disk should
be considered read-only.
