Since a8f80e8ff9 any process with
CAP_NET_ADMIN may load any module from /lib/modules/. This doesn't mean
that CAP_NET_ADMIN is a superset of CAP_SYS_MODULE as modules are
limited to /lib/modules/**. However, CAP_NET_ADMIN capability shouldn't
allow anybody load any module not related to networking.
This patch restricts an ability of autoloading modules to netdev modules
with explicit aliases. This fixes CVE-2011-1019.
Arnd Bergmann suggested to leave untouched the old pre-v2.6.32 behavior
of loading netdev modules by name (without any prefix) for processes
with CAP_SYS_MODULE to maintain the compatibility with network scripts
that use autoloading netdev modules by aliases like "eth0", "wlan0".
Currently there are only three users of the feature in the upstream
kernel: ipip, ip_gre and sit.

Mark Brown pointed out a corner case: that RTC alarms should
be allowed to be persistent across reboots if the hardware
supported it.
The rework of the generic layer to virtualize the RTC alarm
virtualized much of the alarm handling, and removed the
code used to read the alarm time from the hardware.
Mark noted if we want the alarm to be persistent across
reboots, we need to re-read the alarm value into the
virtualized generic layer at boot up, so that the generic
layer properly exposes that value.
This patch restores much of the earlier removed
rtc_read_alarm code and wires it in so that we
set the kernel's alarm value to what we find in the
hardware at boot time.
NOTE: Not all hardware supports persistent RTC alarm state across
system reset. rtc-cmos for example will keep the alarm time, but
disables the AIE mode irq. Applications should not expect the RTC
alarm to be valid after a system reset. We will preserve what
we can, to represent the hardware state at boot, but its not
guarenteed.
Further, in the future, with multiplexed RTC alarms, the
soonest alarm to fire may not be the one set via the /dev/rt
ioctls. So an application may set the alarm with RTC_ALM_SET,
but after a reset find that RTC_ALM_READ returns an earlier
time. Again, we preserve what we can, but applications should
not expect the RTC alarm state to persist across a system reset.
Big thanks to Mark for pointing out the issue!
Thanks also to Marcelo for helping think through the solution.

a) struct inode is not going to be freed under ->d_compare();
however, the thing PROC_I(inode)->sysctl points to just might.
Fortunately, it's enough to make freeing that sucker delayed,
provided that we don't step on its ->unregistering, clear
the pointer to it in PROC_I(inode) before dropping the reference
and check if it's NULL in ->d_compare().
b) I'm not sure that we *can* walk into NULL inode here (we recheck
dentry->seq between verifying that it's still hashed / fetching
dentry->d_inode and passing it to ->d_compare() and there's no
negative hashed dentries in /proc/sys/*), but if we can walk into
that, we really should not have ->d_compare() return 0 on it!
Said that, I really suspect that this check can be simply killed.

used on an FCoE target to speed up the write I/O to the target from the initiator.
The added ndo_fcoe_ddp_target() works in the similar way as the existing
ndo_fcoe_ddp_setup() to allow the underlying hardware set up the DDP context
accordingly when it gets called from the FCoE target implementation on top
the existing Open-FCoE fcoe/libfc protocol stack so without losing the ability

processors which is efficient in performing embedded tasks that
require manipulation of packed memory mapped data structures and
handling system events that have tight real time constraints. This
driver is currently supported on Texas Instruments DA850, AM18xx and
OMAP-L138 devices.
For example, PRUSS runs firmware for real-time critical industrial
communication data link layer and communicates with application stack
running in user space via shared memory and IRQs.

The hcd->state variable is a disaster. It's not clearly owned by
either usbcore or the host controller drivers, and they both change it
from time to time, potentially stepping on each other's toes. It's
not protected by any locks. And there's no mechanism to prevent it
from going through an invalid transition.
This patch (as1451) takes a first step toward fixing these problems.
As it turns out, usbcore uses hcd->state for essentially only two
things: checking whether the controller's root hub is running and
checking whether the controller has died. Therefore the patch adds
two new atomic bitflags to the hcd structure, to store these pieces of
information. The new flags are used only by usbcore, and a private
spinlock prevents invalid combinations (a dead controller's root hub
cannot be running).
The patch does not change the places where usbcore sets hcd->state,
since HCDs may depend on them. Furthermore, there is one place in
usb_hcd_irq() where usbcore still must use hcd->state: An HCD's
interrupt handler can implicitly indicate that the controller died by
setting hcd->state to HC_STATE_HALT. Nevertheless, the new code is a
big improvement over the current code.
The patch makes one other change. The hcd_bus_suspend() and
hcd_bus_resume() routines now check first whether the host controller
has died; if it has then they return immediately without calling the
HCD's bus_suspend or bus_resume methods.
This fixes the major problem reported in Bugzilla #29902: The system
fails to suspend after a host controller dies during system resume.

2) Replace clock selection register codes by macros.

4) Add runtime PM hooks for active power state transitions.
5) Handle error path and cleanup resources if required.

that the exponential backoff breaks in certain cases:
* con_work attempts to connect.
* we get an immediate failure, and the socket state change handler queues
immediate work.
* con_work calls con_fault, we decide to back off, but can't queue delayed

Change logs against Andi's original version:
- Extends perf_event_attr:config to config{,1,2} (Peter Zijlstra)
- Fixed a major event scheduling issue. There cannot be a ref++ on an
event that has already done ref++ once and without calling
put_constraint() in between. (Stephane Eranian)
- Use thread_cpumask for percore allocation. (Lin Ming)
- Use MSR names in the extra reg lists. (Lin Ming)
- Remove redundant "c = NULL" in intel_percore_constraints
- Fix comment of perf_event_attr::config1
Intel Nehalem/Westmere have a special OFFCORE_RESPONSE event
that can be used to monitor any offcore accesses from a core.
This is a very useful event for various tunings, and it's
also needed to implement the generic LLC-* events correctly.
Unfortunately this event requires programming a mask in a separate
register. And worse this separate register is per core, not per
CPU thread.
This patch:
- Teaches perf_events that OFFCORE_RESPONSE needs extra parameters.
The extra parameters are passed by user space in the
perf_event_attr::config1 field.
- Adds support to the Intel perf_event core to schedule per
core resources. This adds fairly generic infrastructure that
can be also used for other per core resources.
The basic code has is patterned after the similar AMD northbridge
constraints code.
