"There are three main parts:
(1) I found I needed some more fixups in the wake of testing Arm64
(some asm/unistd.h files had weird guards that caused problems -
mostly in arches for which I don't have a compiler) and some
__KERNEL__ splitting needed to take place in Arm64.
(2) I found that c6x was missing some __KERNEL__ guards in its
asm/signal.h. Mark Salter pointed me at a tree with a patch to
remove that file entirely and use the asm-generic variant instead.
(3) Lastly, m68k turned out to have a header installation problem due
to it lacking a kvm_para.h file.
The conditional installation bits for linux/kvm_para.h, linux/kvm.h
and linux/a.out.h weren't very well specified - and didn't work if
an arch didn't have the asm/ version of that file, but there *was*
an asm-generic/ version.
It seems the "ifneq $((wildcard ...),)" for each of those three
headers in include/kernel/Kbuild is invoked twice during header
installation, and the second time it matches on the just installed
asm-generic/kvm_para.h file and thus incorrectly installs
linux/kvm_para.h as well.
Most arches actually have an asm/kvm_para.h, so this wasn't

Bug-fixes:
* Fix compile linux-next fallout.
* Fix PVHVM bootup crashing.
The Xen-unstable hypervisor (so will be 4.3 in a ~6 months), supports
ARMv7 platforms.
The goal in implementing this architecture is to exploit the hardware
as much as possible. That means use as little as possible of PV
operations (so no PV MMU) - and use existing PV drivers for I/Os
(network, block, console, etc). This is similar to how PVHVM guests
operate in X86 platform nowadays - except that on ARM there is no need
for QEMU. The end result is that we share a lot of the generic Xen
drivers and infrastructure.

and packets more flexible and detached, so that they can be passed to an
"aoe_ktio" thread for completion of I/O.
The frames are handled much like skbs, with a capped amount of
preallocation so that real-world use cases are likely to run smoothly and
degenerate gracefully even under memory pressure.
Decoupling I/O completion from the receive path and serializing it in a
process makes it easier to think about the correctness of the locking in
the driver, especially in the case of a remote MAC address becoming
unusable.

aoe: for performance support larger packet payloads
tAdd adds the ability to work with large packets composed of a number of
segments, using the scatter gather feature of the block layer (biovecs)
and the network layer (skb frag array). The motivation is the performance
gained by using a packet data payload greater than a page size and by
using the network card's scatter gather feature.
Users of the out-of-tree aoe driver already had these changes, but since
early 2011, they have complained of increased memory utilization and
higher CPU utilization during heavy writes.[1] The commit below appears
related, as it disables scatter gather on non-IP protocols inside the
harmonize_features function, even when the NIC supports sg.
net offloading: Generalize netif_get_vlan_features().
With that regression in place, transmits always linearize sg AoE packets,
but in-kernel users did not have this patch. Before 2.6.38, though, these
changes were working to allow sg to increase performance.

nbd: handle discard requests
Add discard support to nbd. If the nbd-server supports discard, it will
send NBD_FLAG_SEND_TRIM to the client. The client will then set the flag
in the kernel via NBD_SET_FLAGS, which tells the kernel to enable discards
for the device (QUEUE_FLAG_DISCARD).
If discard support is enabled, then when the nbd client system receives a
discard request, this will be passed along to the nbd-server. When the
discard request is received by the nbd-server, it will perform:
fallocate(.. FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE ..)

The following set of patches provides modifications targeting support of
multiple RapidIO master port (mport) devices on a CPU-side of
RapidIO-capable board. While the RapidIO subsystem code has definitions
suitable for multi-controller/multi-net support, the existing
implementation cannot be considered ready for multiple mport
configurations.
=========== NOTES: =============
a) The patches below do not address RapidIO side view of multiport
processing elements defined in Part 6 of RapidIO spec Rev.2.1 (section
6.4.1). These devices have Base Device ID CSR (0x60) and Component Tag
CSR (0x6C) shared by all SRIO ports. For example, Freescale's P4080,
P3041 and P5020 have a dual-port SRIO controller implemented according
the specification. Enumeration/discovery of such devices from RapidIO
side may require device-specific fixups.
b) Devices referenced above may also require implementation specific
code to setup a host device ID for mport device. These operations are
not addressed by patches in this package.
=================================
Details about provided patches:
1. Fix blocking wait for discovery ready
While it does not happen on PowerPC based platforms, there is
possibility of stalled CPU warning dump on x86 based platforms that run
RapidIO discovery process if they wait too long for being enumerated.
Currently users can avoid it by disabling the soft-lockup detector
using "nosoftlockup" kernel parameter OR by ensuring that enumeration
is completed before soft-lockup is detected.
This patch eliminates blocking wait and keeps a scheduler running.
It also is required for patch 3 below which introduces asynchronous
discovery process.
2. Use device lists handling on per-net basis
This patch allows to correctly support multiple RapidIO nets and
resolves possible issues caused by using single global list of devices
during RapidIO system enumeration/discovery. The most common sign of
existing issue is incorrect contents of switch routing tables in
systems with multiple mport controllers while single-port configuration
performs as expected.
The patch does not eliminate the global RapidIO device list but
changes some routines in enumeration/discovery to use per-net device
lists instead. This way compatibility with upper layer RIO routines is
preserved.
3. Run discovery as an asynchronous process
This patch modifies RapidIO initialization routine to asynchronously
run the discovery process for each corresponding mport. This allows
having an arbitrary order of enumerating and discovering mports without
creating a deadlock situation if an enumerator port was registered
after a discovering one.
On boards with multiple discovering mports it also eliminates order
dependency between mports and may reduce total time of RapidIO
subsystem initialization.
Making netID matching to mportID ensures consistent netID assignment
in multiport RapidIO systems with asynchronous discovery process
(global counter implementation is affected by race between threads).
4. Rework RIONET to support multiple RIO master ports
In the current version of the driver rionet_probe() has comment "XXX
Make multi-net safe". Now it is a good time to address this comment.
This patch makes RIONET driver multi-net safe/capable by introducing
per-net lists of RapidIO network peers. It also enables to register
network adapters for all available mport devices.
5. Add destination ID allocation mechanism
The patch replaces a single global destination ID counter with
per-net allocation mechanism to allow independent destID management for
each available RapidIO network. Using bitmap based mechanism instead
of counters allows destination ID release and reuse in systems that
support hot-swap.
This patch:
Fix blocking wait loop in the RapidIO discovery routine to avoid warning
dumps about stalled CPU on x86 platforms.

rapidio: apply RX/TX enable to active switch ports only
Apply port RX/TX enable operations only to active switch ports.
RapidIO specification (Part 6: LP-Serial Physical Layer) recommends to
keep Output Port Enable (TX) and Input Port Enable (RX) control bits in
disabled state (0b0) after device reset. It also allows to have
implementation specific reset state for these bits.
This patch ensures that TX/RX enable action is applied only to active
switch's ports while preserving an initial state of inactive ones.
This patch is intended to keep inactive switch ports with inbound and
outbound packet transfers disabled to block unexpected packets during hot
insertion event. While it does not fix any visible malfunction it is
intended to prevent such events in future.

device_cgroup: convert device_cgroup internally to policy + exceptions
The original model of device_cgroup is having a whitelist where all the
allowed devices are listed. The problem with this approach is that is
impossible to have the case of allowing everything but few devices.
The reason for that lies in the way the whitelist is handled internally:
since there's only a whitelist, the "all devices" entry would have to be
removed and replaced by the entire list of possible devices but the ones
that are being denied. Since dev_t is 32 bits long, representing the allowed
devices as a bitfield is not memory efficient.
This patch replaces the "whitelist" by a "exceptions" list and the default
policy is kept as "deny_all" variable in dev_cgroup structure.
The current interface determines that whenever "a" is written to devices.allow
or devices.deny, the entry masking all devices will be added or removed,
respectively. This behavior is kept and it's what will determine the default
policy:
# cat devices.list
a *:* rwm
# echo a >devices.deny
# cat devices.list
# echo a >devices.allow
# cat devices.list
a *:* rwm
The interface is also preserved. For example, if one wants to block only access
to /dev/null:
# ls -l /dev/null
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 3 Jul 24 16:17 /dev/null
# echo a >devices.allow
# echo "c 1:3 rwm" >devices.deny
# cat /dev/null
cat: /dev/null: Operation not permitted
# echo >/dev/null
bash: /dev/null: Operation not permitted
mknod /tmp/null c 1 3
mknod: `/tmp/null': Operation not permitted
# echo "c 1:3 r" >devices.allow
# cat /dev/null
# echo >/dev/null
bash: /dev/null: Operation not permitted

Under memory pressure, the system may evict dentries from cache. When the
FAT driver receives a NFS request involving an evicted dentry, it is
unable to reconnect it to the filesystem root. This causes the request to
fail, often with ENOENT.
This is partially due to ineffectiveness of the current FAT NFS
implementation, and partially due to an unimplemented fh_to_parent method.
The latter can cause file accesses to fail on shares exported with
subtree_check.
This patch set provides the FAT driver with the ability to
reconnect dentries. NFS file handle generation and lookups are simplified
and made congruent with ext2.
Testing has involved a memory-starved virtual machine running 3.5-rc5 that
exports a ~2 GB vfat filesystem containing a kernel tree (~770 MB, ~40000
files, 9 levels). Both 'cp -r' and 'ls -lR' operations were performed
from a client, some overlapping, some consecutive. Exports with
'subtree_check' and 'no_subtree_check' have been tested.
Note that while this patch set improves FAT's NFS support, it does not
eliminate ESTALE errors completely.
The following should be considered for NFS clients who are sensitive to ESTALE:
* Mounting with lookupcache=none
Unfortunately this can degrade performance severely, particularly for deep
filesystems.
* Incorporating VFS patches to retry ESTALE failures on the client-side,
such as https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/6/29/381
* Handling ESTALE errors in client application code
This patch:
Move NFS-related code into its own C file. No functional changes.

Commit c3b79770e51a ("rtc: m41t80: Workaround broken alarm
functionality") disabled m41t80's alarm functions. But since those
functions were not touched, building this driver triggers these GCC
warnings:
drivers/rtc/rtc-m41t80.c:216:12: warning: 'm41t80_rtc_alarm_irq_enable' defined but not used [-Wunused-function]
drivers/rtc/rtc-m41t80.c:238:12: warning: 'm41t80_rtc_set_alarm' defined but not used [-Wunused-function]
drivers/rtc/rtc-m41t80.c:308:12: warning: 'm41t80_rtc_read_alarm' defined but not used [-Wunused-function]
Remove these functions (and the commented out references to them) to
silence these warnings. Anyone wanting to fix the alarm irq functionality
can easily find the removed code in the git log of this file or through
some web searches.

rtc_sysfs_show_hctosys(): display 0 if resume failed
Without this patch /sys/class/rtc/$CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS_DEVICE/hctosys
contains a 1 (meaning "This rtc was used to initialize the system
clock") even if setting the time by do_settimeofday() at bootup failed.
The RTC can also be used to set the clock on resume, if it did 1,
otherwise 0. Previously there was no indication if the RTC was used
to set the clock in resume.
This uses only CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS_DEVICE for conditional compilation
instead of it and CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS to be more consistent.
rtc_hctosys_ret was moved to class.c so class.c no longer depends on
hctosys.c.

There are several comparisons of a unsigned int to less than zero int
spear RTC driver. Such a check will always be true. In all these cases a
signed int is assigned to the unsigned variable, which is checked, before.
So the right fix is to make the checked variable signed as well. In one
case the check can be dropped completely, because all it does it returns
'err' if 'err' is less than zero, otherwise it returns 0. Since in this
particular case 'err' is always either 0 or less this is the same as just
returning 'err'.
