bad760089c perf_counter tools: fix infinite loop in perf-report on zeroed event records
Bail out early if a record has zero size - we have no chance to make
reliable progress in that case. Print out the offset where this happens,
and print the number of bytes we missed out on.

83c4832683 x86: boot/compressed/vmlinux.lds.S: fix build of bzImage with 64 bit compiler
Jesper reported that he saw following build issue:

 > ld:arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux.lds:9: syntax error
 > make[2]: *** [arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux] Error 1
 > make[1]: *** [arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux] Error 2
 > make: *** [bzImage] Error 2

CPP defines the symbol "i386" to "1".
Undefine this to fix it.

2f65dd475c x86: gettimeofday() vDSO: fix segfault when tv == NULL
According to the gettimeofday(2) manual:

       If either tv or tz is NULL, the corresponding structure is not
       set or returned.

Since it is legal to give NULL as the tv argument, the code should make
sure tv is not NULL before trying to dereference it.

This issue manifests itself on x86_64 when vdso=0 is not on the kernel
command-line and libc uses the vDSO for gettimeofday() (e.g. glibc >=
2.7).  A simple reproducer:

  #include <stdio.h>
  #include <sys/time.h>

  int main(void)
  {
      struct timezone tz;

      gettimeofday(NULL, &tz);

      return 0;
  }

See http://bugs.debian.org/466491 for more details.

ba9c22f2c0 futex: remove FUTEX_REQUEUE_PI (non CMP)
The new requeue PI futex op codes were modeled after the existing
FUTEX_REQUEUE and FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE calls.  I was unaware at the time
that FUTEX_REQUEUE was only around for compatibility reasons and
shouldn't be used in new code.  Ulrich Drepper elaborates on this in his
Futexes are Tricky paper: http://people.redhat.com/drepper/futex.pdf.
The deprecated call doesn't catch changes to the futex corresponding to
the destination futex which can lead to deadlock.

Therefor, I feel it best to remove FUTEX_REQUEUE_PI and leave only
FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE_PI as there are not yet any existing users of the API.
This patch does change the OP code value of FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE_PI to 12
from 13.  Since my test case is the only known user of this API, I felt
this was the right thing to do, rather than leave a hole in the
enumeration.

I chose to continue using the _CMP_ modifier in the OP code to make it
explicit to the user that the test is being done.

Builds, boots, and ran several hundred iterations requeue_pi.c.

28e211700a xfs: fix getbmap vs mmap deadlock
xfs_getbmap (or rather the formatters called by it) copy out the getbmap
structures under the ilock, which can deadlock against mmap.  This has
been reported via bugzilla a while ago (#717) and has recently also
shown up via lockdep.

So allocate a temporary buffer to format the kernel getbmap structures
into and then copy them out after dropping the locks.

A little problem with this is that we limit the number of extents we
can copy out by the maximum allocation size, but I see no real way
around that.

The problem here is that xfs_file_last_byte() does not acquire the
inode lock and can therefore race with another thread that is modifying
the extext list.  While xfs_bmap_last_offset() is trying to lookup
what was the last extent some extents were merged and the extent list
shrunk so the index we lookup is now beyond the end of the extent list
and potentially in a freed buffer.

f425752fc6 sh: remove old CMT driver
This patch removes the old CMT driver (CONFIG_SH_CMT/timer-cmt.c)

As replacement, select the sh_cmt driver with CONFIG_SH_TIMER_CMT
and configure timer channel using platform data.

If multiple CMT channels are enabled using platform data, use the
earlytimer parameter on the kernel command line to select channel.
For instance, use "earlytimer=sh_cmt.0" to select the first channel.

To verify which timer is being used, look at printouts or the timer
irq count in /proc/interrupts.

93af7aca44 mv643xx_eth: 64bit mib counter read fix
On several mv643xx_eth hardware versions, the two 64bit mib counters
for 'good octets received' and 'good octets sent' are actually 32bit
counters, and reading from the upper half of the register has the same
effect as reading from the lower half of the register: an atomic
read-and-clear of the entire 32bit counter value.  This can under heavy
traffic occasionally lead to small numbers being added to the upper
half of the 64bit mib counter even though no 32bit wrap has occured.

Since we poll the mib counters at least every 30 seconds anyway, we
might as well just skip the reads of the upper halves of the hardware
counters without breaking the stats, which this patch does.

1319ebadf1 mv643xx_eth: OOM handling fixes
Currently, when OOM occurs during rx ring refill, mv643xx_eth will get
into an infinite loop, due to the refill function setting the OOM bit
but not clearing the 'rx refill needed' bit for this queue, while the
calling function (the NAPI poll handler) will call the refill function
in a loop until the 'rx refill needed' bit goes off, without checking
the OOM bit.

This patch fixes this by checking the OOM bit in the NAPI poll handler
before attempting to do rx refill.  This means that once OOM occurs,
we won't try to do any memory allocations again until the next invocation
of the poll handler.

While we're at it, change the OOM flag to be a single bit instead of
one bit per receive queue since OOM is a system state rather than a
per-queue state, and cancel the OOM timer on entry to the NAPI poll
handler if it's running to prevent it from firing when we've already
come out of OOM.

ce105a0823 pcnet32: Remove pointless memory barriers
These two memory barriers in performance-critical paths are not needed
on x86.  Even if some other architecture does buffer PCI I/O space
writes, the existing memory-mapped I/O barriers are unlikely to be what
is needed.

ecd6de3c88 selinux: selinux_bprm_committed_creds() should wake up ->real_parent, not ->parent.
We shouldn't worry about the tracer if current is ptraced, exec() must not
succeed if the tracer has no rights to trace this task after cred changing.
But we should notify ->real_parent which is, well, real parent.

Also, we don't need _irq to take tasklist, and we don't need parent's
->siglock to wake_up_interruptible(real_parent->signal->wait_chldexit).
Since we hold tasklist, real_parent->signal must be stable. Otherwise
spin_lock(siglock) is not safe too and can't help anyway.

3bcac0263f SELinux: Don't flush inherited SIGKILL during execve()
Don't flush inherited SIGKILL during execve() in SELinux's post cred commit
hook.  This isn't really a security problem: if the SIGKILL came before the
credentials were changed, then we were right to receive it at the time, and
should honour it; if it came after the creds were changed, then we definitely
should honour it; and in any case, all that will happen is that the process
will be scrapped before it ever returns to userspace.

ec6995ddaa RDMA/cxgb3: Don't complete flushed send work requests twice
When the SQ is flushed, mark the flushed entries as not signaled so
the poll logic doesn't re-insert the CQ entry thinking its an out of
order completion.

The bug can cause the NFS/RDMA server to crash due to processing the
same completed work request twice.

c428c89201 mac80211: default to automatic power control
In "mac80211: correct wext transmit power handler"
I fixed the wext handler, but forgot to make the default of the
user_power_level -1 (aka "auto"), so that now the transmit power
is always set to 0, causing associations to time out and similar
problems since we're transmitting with very little power. Correct
this by correcting the default user_power_level to -1.
