sched, timers: move calc_load() to scheduler
Dimitri Sivanich noticed that xtime_lock is held write locked across
calc_load() which iterates over all online CPUs. That can cause long
latencies for xtime_lock readers on large SMP systems.
The load average calculation is an rough estimate anyway so there is
no real need to protect the readers vs. the update. It's not a problem
when the avenrun array is updated while a reader copies the values.
Instead of iterating over all online CPUs let the scheduler_tick code
update the number of active tasks shortly before the avenrun update
happens. The avenrun update itself is handled by the CPU which calls
do_timer().

random: make get_random_int() more random
It's a really simple patch that basically just open-codes the current
"secure_ip_id()" call, but when open-coding it we now use a _static_
hashing area, so that it gets updated every time.
And to make sure somebody can't just start from the same original seed of
all-zeroes, and then do the "half_md4_transform()" over and over until
they get the same sequence as the kernel has, each iteration also mixes in
the same old "current->pid + jiffies" we used - so we should now have a
regular strong pseudo-number generator, but we also have one that doesn't
have a single seed.
Note: the "pid + jiffies" is just meant to be a tiny tiny bit of noise. It
has no real meaning. It could be anything. I just picked the previous
seed, it's just that now we keep the state in between calls and that will
feed into the next result, and that should make all the difference.
I made that hash be a per-cpu data just to avoid cache-line ping-pong:
having multiple CPU's write to the same data would be fine for randomness,
and add yet another layer of chaos to it, but since get_random_int() is
supposed to be a fast interface I did it that way instead. I considered
using "__raw_get_cpu_var()" to avoid any preemption overhead while still
getting the hash be _mostly_ ping-pong free, but in the end good taste won

[ARM] 5507/1: support R_ARM_MOVW_ABS_NC and MOVT_ABS relocation types

To fully support the armv7-a instruction set/optimizations, support
for the R_ARM_MOVW_ABS_NC and R_ARM_MOVT_ABS relocation types is
required.
The MOVW and MOVT are both load-immediate instructions, MOVW loads 16
bits into the bottom half of a register, and MOVT loads 16 bits into the
top half of a register.
The relocation information for these instructions has a full 32 bit
value, plus an addend which is stored in the 16 immediate bits in the
instruction itself. The immediate bits in the instruction are not
contiguous (the register # splits it into a 4 bit and 12 bit value),
so the addend has to be extracted accordingly and added to the value.
The value is then split and put into the instruction; a MOVW uses the
bottom 16 bits of the value, and a MOVT uses the top 16 bits.

md: remove ability to explicit set an inactive array to 'clean'.
Being able to write 'clean' to an 'array_state' of an inactive array
to activate it in 'clean' mode is both unnecessary and inconvenient.
It is unnecessary because the same can be achieved by writing
'active'. This activates and array, but it still remains 'clean'
until the first write.
It is inconvenient because writing 'clean' is more often used to
cause an 'active' array to revert to 'clean' mode (thus blocking
any writes until a 'write-pending' is promoted to 'active').
Allowing 'clean' to both activate an array and mark an active array as
clean can lead to races: One program writes 'clean' to mark the
active array as clean at the same time as another program writes
'inactive' to deactivate (stop) and active array. Depending on which
writes first, the array could be deactivated and immediately
reactivated which isn't what was desired.
So just disable the use of 'clean' to activate an array.
This avoids a race that can be triggered with mdadm-3.0 and external
metadata, so it suitable for -stable.

nommu: make the initial mmap allocation excess behaviour Kconfig configurable
NOMMU mmap() has an option controlled by a sysctl variable that determines
whether the allocations made by do_mmap_private() should have the excess
space trimmed off and returned to the allocator. Make the initial setting
of this variable a Kconfig configuration option.
The reason there can be excess space is that the allocator only allocates
in power-of-2 size chunks, but mmap()'s can be made in sizes that aren't a
power of 2.
There are two alternatives:
(1) Keep the excess as dead space. The dead space then remains unused for the
lifetime of the mapping. Mappings of shared objects such as libc, ld.so
or busybox's text segment may retain their dead space forever.
(2) Return the excess to the allocator. This means that the dead space is
limited to less than a page per mapping, but it means that for a transient
process, there's more chance of fragmentation as the excess space may be
reused fairly quickly.
During the boot process, a lot of transient processes are created, and
this can cause a lot of fragmentation as the pagecache and various slabs
grow greatly during this time.
By turning off the trimming of excess space during boot and disabling
batching of frees, Coldfire can manage to boot.
A better way of doing things might be to have /sbin/init turn this option
off. By that point libc, ld.so and init - which are all long-duration
processes - have all been loaded and trimmed.

The problem is that under NOMMU conditions it is really important to be
able to allocate large contiguous chunks of memory, but when munmap() or

allocator can be deferred, and when it does finally happen, it can be in
small chunks.
Whilst the fragmentation this incurs isn't so much of a problem under MMU
conditions as userspace VM is glued together from individual pages with
the aid of the MMU, it is a real problem if there isn't an MMU.
By clamping the page freeing queue size to 0, pages are returned to the
allocator immediately, and the buddy detector is more likely to be able to
glue them together into large chunks immediately, and fragmentation is
less likely to occur.

Ignore madvise(MADV_WILLNEED) for hugetlbfs-backed regions
madvise(MADV_WILLNEED) forces page cache readahead on a range of memory
backed by a file. The assumption is made that the page required is
order-0 and "normal" page cache.
On hugetlbfs, this assumption is not true and order-0 pages are
allocated and inserted into the hugetlbfs page cache. This leaks
hugetlbfs page reservations and can cause BUGs to trigger related to
corrupted page tables.
This patch causes MADV_WILLNEED to be ignored for hugetlbfs-backed

i2c-algo-pca: Let PCA9564 recover from unacked data byte (state 0x30)
Currently, the i2c-algo-pca driver does nothing if the chip enters state
0x30 (Data byte in I2CDAT has been transmitted; NOT ACK has been
received). Thus, the i2c bus connected to the controller gets stuck
afterwards.
I have seen this kind of error on a custom board in certain load
situations most probably caused by interference or noise.
A possible reaction is to let the controller generate a STOP condition.
This is documented in the PCA9564 data sheet (2006-09-01) and the same
is done for other NACK states as well.
Further, state 0x38 isn't handled completely, either. Try to do another
START in this case like the data sheet says. As this couldn't be tested,
I've added a comment to try to reset the chip if the START doesn't help
as suggested by Wolfram Sang.

i2c-algo-bit: Fix timeout test
When fetching DDC using i2c algo bit, we were often seeing timeouts
before getting valid EDID on a retry. The VESA spec states 2ms is the
DDC timeout, so when this translates into 1 jiffie and we are close
to the end of the time period, it could return with a timeout less than
2ms.
Change this code to use time_after instead of time_after_eq.

a recent fix to e1000 (commit 15b2bee2) caused KVM/QEMU/VMware based
virtualized e1000 interfaces to begin failing when resetting.
This is because the driver in a virtual environment doesn't
get to run instructions *AT ALL* when an interrupt is asserted.
The interrupt code runs immediately and this recent bug fix
allows an interrupt to be possible when the interrupt handler
will reject it (due to the new code), when being called from
any path in the driver that holds the E1000_RESETTING flag.
the driver should use the __E1000_DOWN flag instead of the
__E1000_RESETTING flag to prevent interrupt execution
while reconfiguring the hardware.

proc: avoid information leaks to non-privileged processes
By using the same test as is used for /proc/pid/maps and /proc/pid/smaps,
only allow processes that can ptrace() a given process to see information
that might be used to bypass address space layout randomization (ASLR).
These include eip, esp, wchan, and start_stack in /proc/pid/stat as well
as the non-symbolic output from /proc/pid/wchan.
ASLR can be bypassed by sampling eip as shown by the proof-of-concept
code at http://code.google.com/p/fuzzyaslr/ As part of a presentation
(http://www.cr0.org/paper/to-jt-linux-alsr-leak.pdf) esp and wchan were

Bluetooth: Fix issue with sysfs handling for connections
Due to a semantic changes in flush_workqueue() the current approach of
synchronizing the sysfs handling for connections doesn't work anymore. The
whole approach is actually fully broken and based on assumptions that are
no longer valid.
With the introduction of Simple Pairing support, the creation of low-level
ACL links got changed. This change invalidates the reason why in the past
two independent work queues have been used for adding/removing sysfs
devices. The adding of the actual sysfs device is now postponed until the
host controller successfully assigns an unique handle to that link. So
the real synchronization happens inside the controller and not the host.
The only left-over problem is that some internals of the sysfs device
handling are not initialized ahead of time. This leaves potential access
to invalid data and can cause various NULL pointer dereferences. To fix
this a new function makes sure that all sysfs details are initialized
when an connection attempt is made. The actual sysfs device is only
registered when the connection has been successfully established. To
avoid a race condition with the registration, the check if a device is
registered has been moved into the removal work.
As an extra protection two flush_work() calls are left in place to
make sure a previous add/del work has been completed first.

EEM is different from the Ethernet Control Model (ECM) currently

that it doesn't require of USB interface alternate settings to
