bcbc4f20b5 tracing/function-graph-tracer: annotate do_IRQ and smp_apic_timer_interrupt
Impact: move most important x86 irq entry-points to a separate subsection

Annotate do_IRQ and smp_apic_timer_interrupt to put them into the .irqentry.text
subsection. These function will so be recognized as hardirq entrypoints for the
function-graph-tracer. We could also annotate other irq entries but the others
are far less important but they can be added on request.

a0343e8231 tracing/function-graph-tracer: add a new .irqentry.text section
Impact: let the function-graph-tracer be aware of the irq entrypoints

Add a new .irqentry.text section to store the irq entrypoints functions
inside the same section. This way, the tracer will be able to signal
an interrupts triggering on output by recognizing these entrypoints.

Also, make this section recordable for dynamic tracing.

da485e0cb1 tracing/fastboot: include missing headers
For now include/trace/boot.h doesn't need to include necessary headers
for its functions and structures because the files that include it already
do it.

But boot.h could be needed as well for further uses on other files.
So, this patch adds the necessary headers for future purposes...

8808500f26 x86: soften multi-BAR mapping sanity check warning message

7a3c66e2d3 net: Add support for the KS8695 ethernet devices.
Implements the KS8695 ethernet device (ks8695net).

This driver is only of use on the KS8695 which is an ARM9 based SoC. The
documentation on this SoC is sparse and poor, with barely a register
description and a rough outline of how the ethernet works, this driver was
therefore written with strong reference to the Micrel supplied Linux 2.6.9
port, and to Andrew Victor's ks8695eth driver.

cd85400a02 powerpc/4xx: Add L2 cache node to AMCC Canyonlands dts file
With this patch the L2 cache is enabled on Canyonlands to increase the
overall performance. There is a known cache coherency issue with the L2
cache, but this is related to the high bandwidth (HB) PLB segment where
the memory address is 0x8.xxxx.xxxx (low bandwidth PLB segment is mapped
to 0x0.xxxx.xxxx). Since this HB address is currently unused it is safe
to enable the L2 cache.

8229efdaef netns: ip6mr: enable namespace support in ipv6 multicast forwarding code
This last patch makes the appropriate changes to use and propagate the
network namespace where needed in IPv6 multicast forwarding code.

This consists mainly in replacing all the remaining init_net occurences
with current netns pointer retrieved from sockets, net devices or 
mfc6_caches depending on the routines' contexts.

Some routines receive a new 'struct net' parameter to propagate the current
netns:
* ip6mr_get_route
* ip6mr_cache_report
* ip6mr_cache_find
* ip6mr_cache_unresolved
* mif6_add/mif6_delete
* ip6mr_mfc_add/ip6mr_mfc_delete
* ip6mr_reg_vif

All the IPv6 multicast forwarding variables moved to struct netns_ipv6 by
the previous patches are now referenced in the correct namespace.

Changelog:
==========
* Take into account the net associated to mfc6_cache when matching entries in
  mfc_unres_queue list.
* Call mroute_clean_tables() in ip6mr_net_exit() to free memory allocated
  per-namespace.
* Call dev_net_set() in ip6mr_reg_vif() to initialize dev->nd_net 
  correctly.

4045e57c19 netns: ip6mr: declare counter cache_resolve_queue_len per-namespace
Preliminary work to make IPv6 multicast forwarding netns-aware.

Declare variable cache_resolve_queue_len per-namespace: moves it into
struct netns_ipv6.

This variable counts the number of unresolved cache entries queued in the
list mfc_unres_queue. This list is kept global to all netns as the number
of entries per namespace is limited to 10 (hardcoded in routine 
ip6mr_cache_unresolved).
Entries belonging to different namespaces in mfc_unres_queue will be
identified by matching the mfc_net member introduced previously in 
struct mfc6_cache.

Keeping this list global to all netns, also allows us to keep a single
timer (ipmr_expire_timer) to handle their expiration.
In some places cache_resolve_queue_len value was tested for arming 
or deleting the timer. These tests were equivalent to testing 
mfc_unres_queue value instead and are replaced in this patch.

At the moment, cache_resolve_queue_len is only referenced in init_net.

b88ed20594 fix mapping_writably_mapped()
Lee Schermerhorn noticed yesterday that I broke the mapping_writably_mapped
test in 2.6.7!  Bad bad bug, good good find.

The i_mmap_writable count must be incremented for VM_SHARED (just as
i_writecount is for VM_DENYWRITE, but while holding the i_mmap_lock)
when dup_mmap() copies the vma for fork: it has its own more optimal
version of __vma_link_file(), and I missed this out.  So the count
was later going down to 0 (dangerous) when one end unmapped, then
wrapping negative (inefficient) when the other end unmapped.

The only impact on x86 would have been that setting a mandatory lock on
a file which has at some time been opened O_RDWR and mapped MAP_SHARED
(but not necessarily PROT_WRITE) across a fork, might fail with -EAGAIN
when it should succeed, or succeed when it should fail.

But those architectures which rely on flush_dcache_page() to flush
userspace modifications back into the page before the kernel reads it,
may in some cases have skipped the flush after such a fork - though any
repetitive test will soon wrap the count negative, in which case it will
flush_dcache_page() unnecessarily.

Fix would be a two-liner, but mapping variable added, and comment moved.

711a49a07f lib/idr.c: Fix bug introduced by RCU fix
The last patch to lib/idr.c caused a bug if idr_get_new_above() was
called on an empty idr.

Usually, nodes stay on the same layer.  New layers are added to the top
of the tree.

The exception is idr_get_new_above() on an empty tree: In this case, the
new root node is first added on layer 0, then moved upwards.  p->layer
was not updated.

As usual: You shall never rely on the source code comments, they will
only mislead you.
