5c4fa002b1 V4L/DVB (9690): gspca: Lock the subdrivers via module_get/put.
The previous subdriver protection against rmmod was done via the
file operations table in the device descriptor. On device disconnection
while streaming, the device structure was freed at close time, and the
module_put still used the module name in the freed area.
Now, explicit module get/put are done on open and close.

7ee1768ddb x86, mmiotrace: fix buffer overrun detection
Impact: fix mmiotrace overrun tracing

When ftrace framework moved to use the ring buffer facility, the buffer
overrun detection was broken after 2.6.27 by commit

| commit 3928a8a2d9
| Author: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
| Date:   Mon Sep 29 23:02:41 2008 -0400
|
|     ftrace: make work with new ring buffer
|
|     This patch ports ftrace over to the new ring buffer.

The detection is now fixed by using the ring buffer API.

When mmiotrace detects a buffer overrun, it will report the number of
lost events. People reading an mmiotrace log must know if something was
missed, otherwise the data may not make sense.

5f5db59132 x86, debug: remove the confusing entry in call trace
Impact: improve backtrace quality

avoid the confusion in call trace because of the lack of padding at the
tail of function.

When do_exit gets called, the return address behind call instruction is
pushed into stack. If something get wrong in do_exit, for x86_64, the
entry "kernel_execve +0x00/0xXX" rather than "child_rip +0xYY/0xZZ" is
in the call trace.

That looks confusing, so add a u2d to make the return address still part
of the original call site. (This also catches any instances of us returning
from that function somehow.)

3b6c52b5b6 x86: introduce ENTRY(KPROBE_ENTRY)_X86 assembly helpers to catch unbalanced declaration v3
Impact: make ENTRY()/END() macros more capable

It's usefull to catch unbalanced or messed or mixed declarations of ENTRY and
KPROBES. These macros would help a bit.

For example the following code would compile without problems

        ENTRY_X86(mcount)
                retq
        END_X86(mcount)

But if you forget and mess the following form

        ENTRY_X86(mcount)
                retq
        END(mcount)

        ENTRY_X86(ftrace_caller)

The assembler will issue the following message:
Error: ENTRY_X86/KPROBE_X86 unbalanced,missed,mixed

Actually the checking is performed at every _X86 macro
so maybe it's good idea to put ENTRY_KPROBE_FINAL_X86
at the end of .S file to be sure you didn't miss anything.

bd2b3ca768 KVM: VMX: Fix interrupt loss during race with NMI
If an interrupt cannot be injected for some reason (say, page fault
when fetching the IDT descriptor), the interrupt is marked for
reinjection.  However, if an NMI is queued at this time, the NMI
will be injected instead and the NMI will be lost.

Fix by deferring the NMI injection until the interrupt has been
injected successfully.

86bbc2c235 xen: pin correct PGD on suspend
Impact: fix Xen guest boot failure

commit eefb47f6a1 ("xen: use
spin_lock_nest_lock when pinning a pagetable") changed xen_pgd_walk to
walk over mm->pgd rather than taking pgd as an argument.

This breaks xen_mm_(un)pin_all() because it makes init_mm.pgd readonly
instead of the pgd we are interested in and therefore the pin subsequently
fails.

a1967d6441 x86: revert irq number limitation
Impact: fix MSIx not enough irq numbers available regression

The manual revert of the sparse_irq patches missed to bring the number
of possible irqs back to the .27 status. This resulted in a regression
when two multichannel network cards were placed in a system with only
one IO_APIC - causing the networking driver to not have the right
IRQ and the device not coming up.

Remove the dynamic allocation logic leftovers and simply return
NR_IRQS in probe_nr_irqs() for now.

stack_overflow_check() should consider the stack usage of pt_regs, and
thus it could warn us in advance. Additionally, it looks better for
the warning time to start at INITIAL_JIFFIES.

Assuming that rsp gets close to the check point before interrupt

overrode.

33cf71cee1 tcp: Do not use TSO/GSO when there is urgent data
This patch fixes http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12014

Since most (if not all) implementations of TSO and even the in-kernel
software GSO do not update the urgent pointer when splitting a large
segment, it is necessary to turn off TSO/GSO for all outgoing traffic
with the URG pointer set.

Looking at tcp_current_mss (and the preceding comment) I even think
this was the original intention. However, this approach is insufficient,
because TSO/GSO is turned off only for newly created frames, not for
frames which were already pending at the arrival of a message with
MSG_OOB set. These frames were created when TSO/GSO was enabled,
so they may be large, and they will have the urgent pointer set
in tcp_transmit_skb().

With this patch, such large packets will be fragmented again before
going to the transmit routine.

As a side note, at least the following NICs are known to screw up
the urgent pointer in the TCP header when doing TSO:

	Intel 82566MM (PCI ID 8086:1049)
	Intel 82566DC (PCI ID 8086:104b)
	Intel 82541GI (PCI ID 8086:1076)

208fbec5be axnet_cs / pcnet_cs: moving PCMCIA_DEVICE_PROD_ID for Netgear FA411
Hi,

after noticing that my Netgear FA411 (PCMCIA-NIC) [1] stopped working with
the release of the 2.6.25 kernel (sidux-version), I checked the
respective driver sources and noticed that the pcnet_cs driver bailed
out with "use axnet_cs instead" for the Netgear FA411, but axnet_cs
doesn't claim this ID.

I compiled a kernel with the PCMCIA-ID for the netgear card moved to
axnet_cs from pcnet_cs which worked. I then contacted sidux-kernel
maintainer Stefan Lippers-Hollmann who turned the info into this patch
and integrated it into the kernel:

<http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/fullstory/linux-sidux-2.6/trunk/debian/patches/features/2.6.27.4_PCMCIA_move-PCMCIA-ID-for-Netgear-FA411-from-pcnet_cs-to-axnet_cs.patch>

This works for me and AFAIK there were no reports of any breakage for
other devices on sidux-support.

This looks like a trivial patch, but since I have very limited
experience with kernel modifications  I might be woefully wrong there.
But if there are no side effects of this patch, is it possible to get it
into the official kernel?

I can provide more detailed information on the affected hardware if
necessary.

b8b1d08bf6 x86: entry_64.S: split out some macro's and move common code to paranoid_exit
Impact: cleanup

DISABLE_INTERRUPTS(CLBR_NONE)/TRACE_IRQS_OFF is now always
executed just before paranoid_exit. Move it there.

Split out paranoidzeroentry, paranoiderrorentry, and
paranoidzeroentry_ist to get more readable macro's.

Impact: cleanup, shrink kernel image size

Also expand the paranoid_exit0 macro into nmi_exit inside the
nmi stub in the case of enabled irq-tracing.

This gives a few hundred bytes code size reduction.

c002a1e6b6 x86: introduce save_rest and restructure the PTREGSCALL macro in entry_64.S
Impact: cleanup

The save_rest function completes a partial stack frame for use
by the PTREGSCALL macro. This also avoids the indirect call in
PTREGSCALLs.

This adds the macro movq_cfi_restore to hide the CFI_RESTORE
annotation when restoring a register from the stack frame.

3477d20465 UBIFS: pre-allocate bulk-read buffer
To avoid memory allocation failure during bulk-read, pre-allocate
a bulk-read buffer, so that if there is only one bulk-reader at
a time, it would just use the pre-allocated buffer and would not
do any memory allocation. However, if there are more than 1 bulk-
reader, then only one reader would use the pre-allocated buffer,
while the other reader would allocate the buffer for itself.

6c0c42cdfd UBIFS: do not allocate too much
Bulk-read allocates 128KiB or more using kmalloc. The allocation
starts failing often when the memory gets fragmented. UBIFS still
works fine in this case, because it falls-back to standard
(non-optimized) read method, though. This patch teaches bulk-read
to allocate exactly the amount of memory it needs, instead of
allocating 128KiB every time.

This patch is also a preparation to the further fix where we'll
have a pre-allocated bulk-read buffer as well. For example, now
the @bu object is prepared in 'ubifs_bulk_read()', so we could
path either pre-allocated or allocated information to
'ubifs_do_bulk_read()' later. Or teaching 'ubifs_do_bulk_read()'
not to allocate 'bu->buf' if it is already there.

39ce81ce71 UBIFS: do not print scary memory allocation warnings
Bulk-read allocates a lot of memory with 'kmalloc()', and when it
is/gets fragmented 'kmalloc()' fails with a scarry warning. But
because bulk-read is just an optimization, UBIFS keeps working fine.
Supress the warning by passing __GFP_NOWARN option to 'kmalloc()'.

This patch also introduces a macro for the magic 128KiB constant.
This is just neater.

Note, this is not really fixes the problem we had, but just hides
the warnings. The further patches fix the problem.
