Paul Mundt 9170d2f6e1 pcmcia: ipwireless depends on NETDEVICES
ipwireless (added by 099dc4fb62) is clearly
a net device:

drivers/built-in.o: In function `ipwireless_ppp_start_xmit':
/home/pmundt/devel/git/sh-2.6.25/drivers/char/pcmcia/ipwireless/network.c:165: undefined reference to `skb_under_panic'
/home/pmundt/devel/git/sh-2.6.25/drivers/char/pcmcia/ipwireless/network.c:165: undefined reference to `kfree_skb'

/home/pmundt/devel/git/sh-2.6.25/drivers/char/pcmcia/ipwireless/network.c:377: undefined reference to `skb_over_panic'
drivers/built-in.o: In function `ppp_shutdown_interface':
/home/pmundt/devel/git/sh-2.6.25/drivers/net/ppp_generic.c:2517: undefined reference to `unregister_netdev'
/home/pmundt/devel/git/sh-2.6.25/drivers/net/ppp_generic.c:2517: undefined reference to `free_netdev'
[ ... and many more ... ]

select strikes again. ipwireless selects PPP which in turn tries to select
SLHC, both of which are technically "protected" by an if NETDEVICES
in drivers/net/Kconfig. This leads to .config hilarity, with net suddenly
ending up in the SCSI menu:

	#
	# SCSI device support
	#
	# CONFIG_SCSI_DMA is not set
	# CONFIG_SCSI_NETLINK is not set
	CONFIG_PPP=y
	# CONFIG_PHONE is not set

Curiously the SLHC select from PPP doesn't seem to happen, as there's no
CONFIG_SLHC=y (only CONFIG_PPP=y gets set) -- Kconfig bug? Caught with a
randconfig.

Ahmed S. Darwish 2e1d146a19 Smack: check for 'struct socket' with NULL sk
There's a small problem with smack and NFS. A similar report was also
sent here: http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/10/27/85

I've also added similar checks in inode_{get/set}security().  Cheating from
SELinux post_create_socket(), it does the same.

Ivan Kokshaysky 91d35dd93e moduleparam: fix alpha, ia64 and ppc64 compile failures
On alpha, ia64 and ppc64 only relocations to local data can go into
read-only sections. The vast majority of module parameters use the global
generic param_set_*/param_get_* functions, so the 'const' attribute for
struct kernel_param is not only useless, but it also causes compile
failures due to 'section type conflict' in those rare cases where
param_set/get are local functions.

This fixes http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8964

Peter Zijlstra aa02cd2d9b xtime_lock vs update_process_times
Commit d3d74453c3 ("hrtimer: fixup the
HRTIMER_CB_IRQSAFE_NO_SOFTIRQ fallback") broke several archs, and since
only Russell bothered to merge the fix, and Greg to ACK his arch, I'm
sending this for merger.

I have confirmation that the Alpha bit results in a booting kernel.
That leaves: blackfin, frv, sh and sparc untested.

The deadlock in question was found by Russell:

  IRQ handle
    -> timer_tick() - xtime seqlock held for write
      -> update_process_times()
        -> run_local_timers()
          -> hrtimer_run_queues()
            -> hrtimer_get_softirq_time() - tries to get a read lock

Now, Thomas assures me the fix is trivial, only do_timer() needs to be
done under the xtime_lock, and update_process_times() can savely be
removed from under it.

Linus Torvalds 10270d4838 acpi: fix acpi_os_read_pci_configuration() misuse of raw_pci_read()
The raw_pci_read() interface (as the raw_pci_ops->read() before it)
unconditionally fills in a 32-bit integer return value regardless of the
size of the operation requested.

So claiming to take a "void *" is wrong, as is passing in a pointer to
just a byte variable.

Noticed by pageexec when enabling -fstack-protector (which needs other
patches too to actually work, but that's a separate issue).

This patch enhances EFI runtime code memory mapping as following:

- Move __supported_pte_mask & _PAGE_NX checking before invoking
  runtime_code_page_mkexec(). This makes it possible for compiler to
  eliminate runtime_code_page_mkexec() on machine without NX support.

- Use set_memory_x/nx in early_mapping_set_exec(). This eliminates the
  duplicated implementation.

This avoids picking a granularity for the ratio.

Peter Zijlstra 23b0fdfc92 sched: rt-group: deal with PI
Steven mentioned the fun case where a lock holding task will be throttled.

Simple fix: allow groups that have boosted tasks to run anyway.

If a runnable task in a throttled group gets boosted the dequeue/enqueue
done by rt_mutex_setprio() is enough to unthrottle the group.

This is ofcourse not quite correct. Two possible ways forward are:
  - second prio array for boosted tasks
  - boost to a prio ceiling (this would also work for deadline scheduling)

Linus Torvalds 96b5a46e2a WMI: initialize wmi_blocks.list even if ACPI is disabled
Even if we don't want to register the WMI driver, we should initialize
the wmi_blocks list to be empty, since we don't want the wmi helper
functions to oops just because that basic list has not even been set up.

With this, "find_guid()" will happily return "not found" rather than
oopsing all over the place, and the callers will then just automatically
return false or AE_NOT_FOUND as appropriate.

KOSAKI Motohiro 31f1de46b9 mempolicy: silently restrict nodemask to allowed nodes
Kosaki Motohito noted that "numactl --interleave=all ..." failed in the
presence of memoryless nodes.  This patch attempts to fix that problem.

Some background:

numactl --interleave=all calls set_mempolicy(2) with a fully populated
[out to MAXNUMNODES] nodemask.  set_mempolicy() [in do_set_mempolicy()]
calls contextualize_policy() which requires that the nodemask be a
subset of the current task's mems_allowed; else EINVAL will be returned.

A task's mems_allowed will always be a subset of node_states[N_HIGH_MEMORY]
i.e., nodes with memory.  So, a fully populated nodemask will be
declared invalid if it includes memoryless nodes.

  NOTE:  the same thing will occur when running in a cpuset
         with restricted mem_allowed--for the same reason:
         node mask contains dis-allowed nodes.

mbind(2), on the other hand, just masks off any nodes in the nodemask
that are not included in the caller's mems_allowed.

In each case [mbind() and set_mempolicy()], mpol_check_policy() will
complain [again, resulting in EINVAL] if the nodemask contains any
memoryless nodes.  This is somewhat redundant as mpol_new() will remove
memoryless nodes for interleave policy, as will bind_zonelist()--called
by mpol_new() for BIND policy.

Proposed fix:

1) modify contextualize_policy logic to:
   a) remember whether the incoming node mask is empty.
   b) if not, restrict the nodemask to allowed nodes, as is
      currently done in-line for mbind().  This guarantees
      that the resulting mask includes only nodes with memory.

      NOTE:  this is a [benign, IMO] change in behavior for
             set_mempolicy().  Dis-allowed nodes will be
             silently ignored, rather than returning an error.

   c) fold this code into mpol_check_policy(), replace 2 calls to
      contextualize_policy() to call mpol_check_policy() directly
      and remove contextualize_policy().

2) In existing mpol_check_policy() logic, after "contextualization":
   a) MPOL_DEFAULT:  require that in coming mask "was_empty"
   b) MPOL_{BIND|INTERLEAVE}:  require that contextualized nodemask
      contains at least one node.
   c) add a case for MPOL_PREFERRED:  if in coming was not empty
      and resulting mask IS empty, user specified invalid nodes.
      Return EINVAL.
   c) remove the now redundant check for memoryless nodes

3) remove the now redundant masking of policy nodes for interleave
   policy from mpol_new().

4) Now that mpol_check_policy() contextualizes the nodemask, remove
   the in-line nodes_and() from sys_mbind().  I believe that this
   restores mbind() to the behavior before the memoryless-nodes
   patch series.  E.g., we'll no longer treat an invalid nodemask
   with MPOL_PREFERRED as local allocation.

[ Patch history:

  v1 -> v2:
   - Communicate whether or not incoming node mask was empty to
     mpol_check_policy() for better error checking.
   - As suggested by David Rientjes, remove the now unused
     cpuset_nodes_subset_current_mems_allowed() from cpuset.h

  v2 -> v3:
   - As suggested by Kosaki Motohito, fold the "contextualization"
     of policy nodemask into mpol_check_policy().  Looks a little
     cleaner. ]
