dd13b01036 [NETFILTER]: nf_nat: kill helper and seq_adjust hooks
Connection tracking helpers (specifically FTP) need to be called
before NAT sequence numbers adjustments are performed to be able
to compare them against previously seen ones. We've introduced
two new hooks around 2.6.11 to maintain this ordering when NAT
modules were changed to get called from conntrack helpers directly.

The cost of netfilter hooks is quite high and sequence number
adjustments are only rarely needed however. Add a RCU-protected
sequence number adjustment function pointer and call it from
IPv4 conntrack after calling the helper.

8c87238b72 [NETFILTER]: nf_nat: don't add NAT extension for confirmed conntracks
Adding extensions to confirmed conntracks is not allowed to avoid races
on reallocation. Don't setup NAT for confirmed conntracks in case NAT
module is loaded late.

The has one side-effect, the connections existing before the NAT module
was loaded won't enter the bysource hash. The only case where this actually
makes a difference is in case of SNAT to a multirange where the IP before
NAT is also part of the range. Since old connections don't enter the
bysource hash the first new connection from the IP will have a new address
selected. This shouldn't matter at all.

d63a650736 [NETFILTER]: Add partial checksum validation helper
Move the UDP-Lite conntrack checksum validation to a generic helper
similar to nf_checksum() and make it fall back to nf_checksum()
in case the full packet is to be checksummed and hardware checksums
are available. This is to be used by DCCP conntrack, which also
needs to verify partial checksums.

b9f61b1603 [NETFILTER]: xt_sctp: simplify xt_sctp.h
The use of xt_sctp.h flagged up -Wshadow warnings in userspace, which
prompted me to look at it and clean it up. Basic operations have been
directly replaced by library calls (memcpy, memset is both available
in the kernel and userspace, and usually faster than a self-made
loop). The is_set and is_clear functions now use a processing time
shortcut, too.

666953df35 [NETFILTER]: ip_tables: per-netns FILTER/MANGLE/RAW tables for real
Commit 9335f047fe aka
"[NETFILTER]: ip_tables: per-netns FILTER, MANGLE, RAW"
added per-netns _view_ of iptables rules. They were shown to user, but
ignored by filtering code. Now that it's possible to at least ping loopback,
per-netns tables can affect filtering decisions.

netns is taken in case of
	PRE_ROUTING, LOCAL_IN -- from in device,
	POST_ROUTING, LOCAL_OUT -- from out device,
	FORWARD -- from in device which should be equal to out device's netns.
		   This code is relatively new, so BUG_ON was plugged.

Wrappers were added to a) keep code the same from CONFIG_NET_NS=n users
(overwhelming majority), b) consolidate code in one place -- similar
changes will be done in ipv6 and arp netfilter code.

7cd636fe9c [IPV6]: IPv6 extension header structures need to be packed.
struct ipv6_opt_hdr is the common structure for IPv6 extension
headers, and it is common to increment the pointer to get
the real content.  On the other hand, since the structure
consists only of 1-byte next-header field and 1-byte length
field, size of that structure depends on architecture; 2 or 4.
Add "packed" attribute to get 2.

03e1ad7b5d LSM: Make the Labeled IPsec hooks more stack friendly
The xfrm_get_policy() and xfrm_add_pol_expire() put some rather large structs
on the stack to work around the LSM API.  This patch attempts to fix that
problem by changing the LSM API to require only the relevant "security"
pointers instead of the entire SPD entry; we do this for all of the
security_xfrm_policy*() functions to keep things consistent.

00447872a6 NetLabel: Allow passing the LSM domain as a shared pointer
Smack doesn't have the need to create a private copy of the LSM "domain" when
setting NetLabel security attributes like SELinux, however, the current
NetLabel code requires a private copy of the LSM "domain".  This patches fixes
that by letting the LSM determine how it wants to pass the domain value.

 * NETLBL_SECATTR_DOMAIN_CPY
   The current behavior, NetLabel assumes that the domain value is a copy and
   frees it when done

 * NETLBL_SECATTR_DOMAIN
   New, Smack-friendly behavior, NetLabel assumes that the domain value is a
   reference to a string managed by the LSM and does not free it when done

98075d245a [IA64] Fix NUMA configuration issue
There is a NUMA memory configuration issue in 2.6.24:

A 2-node machine of ours has got the following memory layout:

Node 0:	0 - 2 Gbytes
Node 0:	4 - 8 Gbytes
Node 1:	8 - 16 Gbytes
Node 0:	16 - 18 Gbytes

"efi_memmap_init()" merges the three last ranges into one.

"register_active_ranges()" is called as follows:

efi_memmap_walk(register_active_ranges, NULL);

i.e. once for the 4 - 18 Gbytes range. It picks up the node
number from the start address, and registers all the memory for
the node #0.

"register_active_ranges()" should be called as follows to
make sure there is no merged address range at its entry:

efi_memmap_walk(filter_memory, register_active_ranges);

"filter_memory()" is similar to "filter_rsvd_memory()",
but the reserved memory ranges are not filtered out.

  make[1]: *** [arch/s390/kernel/entry64.o] Error 1
  make: *** [arch/s390/kernel] Error 2

and some other architectures.  The reason is that some architectures add
the "-traditional" flag to the invocation of $(AS), which disables
variadic macro argument support.

So just surround the new define with an #ifndef __ASSEMBLY__ to prevent
any side effects on asm code.

544451a1a3 pnp: increase number of devices supported per protocol
Increase the PNP "number of devices" limit.  We currently use an unsigned
char, which limits us to 256 devices per protocol.  This patch changes that to
an unsigned int.

Not all backends can take advantage of this: we limit ISAPNP to 10 devices in
isapnp_cfg_begin(), and PNPBIOS is limited to 256 devices because the BIOS
interfaces use a one-byte device node number.

But there is no limit on the number of PNPACPI devices we may have.  Large HP
Integrity machines have more than 256, which causes the current "unsigned char
number" to wrap around.  This causes errors like this:

    pnp: PnP ACPI init
    kobject_add failed for 00:00 with -EEXIST, don't try to register things with the same name in the same directory.

This patch increases the limit to fix this PNPACPI problem.  It should not
have any adverse effect on ISAPNP or PNPBIOS because their limits are still
enforced in the backends.

d10d89ec78 Add commentary about the new "asmlinkage_protect()" macro
It's really a pretty ugly thing to need, and some day it will hopefully
be obviated by teaching gcc about the magic calling conventions for the
low-level system call code, but in the meantime we can at least add big
honking comments about why we need these insane and strange macros.

I took my comments from my version of the macro, but I ended up deciding
to just pick Roland's version of the actual code instead (with his
prettier syntax that uses vararg macros).  Thus the previous two commits
that actually implement it.

54a0151041 asmlinkage_protect replaces prevent_tail_call
The prevent_tail_call() macro works around the problem of the compiler
clobbering argument words on the stack, which for asmlinkage functions
is the caller's (user's) struct pt_regs.  The tail/sibling-call
optimization is not the only way that the compiler can decide to use
stack argument words as scratch space, which we have to prevent.
Other optimizations can do it too.

Until we have new compiler support to make "asmlinkage" binding on the
compiler's own use of the stack argument frame, we have work around all
the manifestations of this issue that crop up.

More cases seem to be prevented by also keeping the incoming argument
variables live at the end of the function.  This makes their original
stack slots attractive places to leave those variables, so the compiler
tends not clobber them for something else.  It's still no guarantee, but
it handles some observed cases that prevent_tail_call() did not.

Don't make smp_{r,w,}mb() interpolate a MEMBAR instruction when CONFIG_SMP=n as
SMP memory barries on UP systems should interpolate a compiler barrier only.
