2bdd1b031b PCI/x86: fix up PCI stuff so that PCI_GOANY supports OLPC
Previously, one would have to specifically choose CONFIG_OLPC and
CONFIG_PCI_GOOLPC in order to enable PCI_OLPC.  That doesn't really work
for distro kernels, so this patch allows one to choose CONFIG_OLPC and
CONFIG_PCI_GOANY in order to build in OLPC support in a generic kernel (as
requested by Robert Millan).

This also moves GOOLPC before GOANY in the menuconfig list.

Finally, make pci_access_init return early if we detect OLPC hardware.
There's no need to continue probing stuff, and pci_pcbios_init
specifically trashes our settings (we didn't run into that before because
PCI_GOANY wasn't supported).

ddb2c43594 asn1: additional sanity checking during BER decoding
- Don't trust a length which is greater than the working buffer.
  An invalid length could cause overflow when calculating buffer size
  for decoding oid.

- An oid length of zero is invalid and allows for an off-by-one error when
  decoding oid because the first subid actually encodes first 2 subids.

- A primitive encoding may not have an indefinite length.

Thanks to Wei Wang from McAfee for report.

609a70ac92 FRV: ip_fast_csum() requires a memory clobber on its inline asm
ip_fast_csum() requires a memory clobber on its inline asm as it accesses
memory in a fashion that gcc can't predict.

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.

The bug hasn't been noticed in FRV, but it has been seen in PA-RISC.

d26ab06ede [SCSI] zfcp: receiving an unsolicted status can lead to I/O stall
Processing of an unsolicted status request can lead to a locking race
of the request_queue's queue_lock during the recreation of the
used up status read request while still in interrupt context
of the response handler.

Detaching the 'refill' of the long running status read requests from
the handler to a scheduled work is solving this issue.

In addition, each refill-run is trying to re-establish the full amount
of status read requests, which might have failed in earlier runs.

3a0d9e9235 [SCSI] zfcp: sysfs attributes for fabric and channel latencies
The latency information is provided on a SCSI device level (LUN)
which can be found at the following location

 /sys/class/scsi_device/<H:C:T:L>/device/cmd_latency
 /sys/class/scsi_device/<H:C:T:L>/device/read_latency
 /sys/class/scsi_device/<H:C:T:L>/device/write_latency

Each sysfs attribute provides the available data: min, max and sum for
fabric and channel latency and the number of requests processed.

An overrun of the variables is neither detected nor treated.  The file
has to be read twice to make a meaningful statement, because only the
differences of the values between the two reads can be used.  A reset
of the values can be achieved by writing to the attribute.

bab7cfc733 [SCSI] scsi_dh: Add a single threaded workqueue for initializing paths
Before this patch set (SCSI hardware handlers), initialization of a
path was done asynchronously. Doing that requires a workqueue in each
device/hardware handler module and leads to unneccessary complication
in the device handler code, making it difficult to read the code and
follow the state diagram.

Moving that workqueue to this level makes the device handler code simpler.
Hence, the workqueue is moved to dm level.

A new workqueue is added instead of adding it to the existing workqueue
(kmpathd) for the following reasons:
	1. Device activation has to happen faster, stacking them along
	   with the other workqueue might lead to unnecessary delay
	   in the activation of the path.
	2. The effect could be felt the other way too. i.e the current
	   events that are handled by the existing workqueue might get
	   a delayed response.

cfae5c9bb6 [SCSI] scsi_dh: Use SCSI device handler in dm-multipath
This patch converts dm-mpath to use scsi device handlers instead of
dm's hardware handlers.

This patch does not add any new functionality. Old behaviors remain and
userspace tools work as is except that arguments supplied with hardware
handler are ignored.

One behavioral exception is: Activation of a path is synchronous in this
patch, opposed to the older behavior of being asynchronous (changed in
patch 07: scsi_dh: Add a single threaded workqueue for initializing a path)

Note: There is no need to get a reference for the device handler module
(as it was done in the dm hardware handler case) here as the reference
is held when the device was first found. Instead we check and make sure
that support for the specified device is present at table load time.
