7a50a240c4 net/compat_ioctl: support SIOCWANDEV
This adds compat_ioctl support for SIOCWANDEV, which has
always been missing.

The definition of struct compat_ifreq was missing an
ifru_settings fields that is needed to support SIOCWANDEV,
so add that and clean up the whitespace damage in the
struct definition.

512615b6b8 udp: secondary hash on (local port, local address)
Extends udp_table to contain a secondary hash table.

socket anchor for this second hash is free, because UDP
doesnt use skc_bind_node : We define an union to hold
both skc_bind_node & a new hlist_nulls_node udp_portaddr_node

udp_lib_get_port() inserts sockets into second hash chain
(additional cost of one atomic op)

udp_lib_unhash() deletes socket from second hash chain
(additional cost of one atomic op)

Note : No spinlock lockdep annotation is needed, because
lock for the secondary hash chain is always get after
lock for primary hash chain.

d4cada4ae1 udp: split sk_hash into two u16 hashes
Union sk_hash with two u16 hashes for udp (no extra memory taken)

One 16 bits hash on (local port) value (the previous udp 'hash')

One 16 bits hash on (local address, local port) values, initialized
but not yet used. This second hash is using jenkin hash for better
distribution.

Because the 'port' is xored later, a partial hash is performed
on local address + net_hash_mix(net)

91284224da pcmcia: add new CIS access helpers
As a replacement to pcmcia_get_{first,next}_tuple() and
pcmcia_get_tuple_data(), three new -- and easier to use --
functions are added:

- pcmcia_get_tuple() to get the very first CIS entry of one
  type.

- pcmcia_loop_tuple() to loop over all CIS entries of one type.

- pcmcia_get_mac_from_cis() to read out the hardware MAC address
  from CISTPL_FUNCE.

Only a handful of drivers need these functions anyway, as most
CIS access is already handled by pcmcia_loop_config(), which
now shares the same backed (pccard_loop_tuple()) with
pcmcia_loop_tuple().

A pcmcia_get_mac_from_cis() bug noted by Komuro
<komurojun-mbn@nifty.com> has been fixed in this revision.

24f1e32c60 hw-breakpoints: Rewrite the hw-breakpoints layer on top of perf events
This patch rebase the implementation of the breakpoints API on top of
perf events instances.

Each breakpoints are now perf events that handle the
register scheduling, thread/cpu attachment, etc..

The new layering is now made as follows:

       ptrace       kgdb      ftrace   perf syscall
          \          |          /         /
           \         |         /         /
                                        /
            Core breakpoint API        /
                                      /
                     |               /
                     |              /

              Breakpoints perf events

                     |
                     |

               Breakpoints PMU ---- Debug Register constraints handling
                                    (Part of core breakpoint API)
                     |
                     |

             Hardware debug registers

Reasons of this rewrite:

- Use the centralized/optimized pmu registers scheduling,
  implying an easier arch integration
- More powerful register handling: perf attributes (pinned/flexible
  events, exclusive/non-exclusive, tunable period, etc...)

Impact:

- New perf ABI: the hardware breakpoints counters
- Ptrace breakpoints setting remains tricky and still needs some per
  thread breakpoints references.

Todo (in the order):

- Support breakpoints perf counter events for perf tools (ie: implement
  perf_bpcounter_event())
- Support from perf tools

Changes in v2:

- Follow the perf "event " rename
- The ptrace regression have been fixed (ptrace breakpoint perf events
  weren't released when a task ended)
- Drop the struct hw_breakpoint and store generic fields in
  perf_event_attr.
- Separate core and arch specific headers, drop
  asm-generic/hw_breakpoint.h and create linux/hw_breakpoint.h
- Use new generic len/type for breakpoint
- Handle off case: when breakpoints api is not supported by an arch

Changes in v3:

- Fix broken CONFIG_KVM, we need to propagate the breakpoint api
  changes to kvm when we exit the guest and restore the bp registers
  to the host.

Changes in v4:

- Drop the hw_breakpoint_restore() stub as it is only used by KVM
- EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL hw_breakpoint_restore() as KVM can be built as a
  module
- Restore the breakpoints unconditionally on kvm guest exit:
  TIF_DEBUG_THREAD doesn't anymore cover every cases of running
  breakpoints and vcpu->arch.switch_db_regs might not always be
  set when the guest used debug registers.
  (Waiting for a reliable optimization)

Changes in v5:

- Split-up the asm-generic/hw-breakpoint.h moving to
  linux/hw_breakpoint.h into a separate patch
- Optimize the breakpoints restoring while switching from kvm guest
  to host. We only want to restore the state if we have active
  breakpoints to the host, otherwise we don't care about messed-up
  address registers.
- Add asm/hw_breakpoint.h to Kbuild
- Fix bad breakpoint type in trace_selftest.c

Changes in v6:

- Fix wrong header inclusion in trace.h (triggered a build
  error with CONFIG_FTRACE_SELFTEST

444a2a3bcd tracing, perf_events: Protect the buffer from recursion in perf
While tracing using events with perf, if one enables the
lockdep:lock_acquire event, it will infect every other perf
trace events.

Basically, you can enable whatever set of trace events through
perf but if this event is part of the set, the only result we
can get is a long list of lock_acquire events of rcu read lock,
and only that.

This is because of a recursion inside perf.

1) When a trace event is triggered, it will fill a per cpu
   buffer and submit it to perf.

2) Perf will commit this event but will also protect some data
   using rcu_read_lock

3) A recursion appears: rcu_read_lock triggers a lock_acquire
   event that will fill the per cpu event and then submit the
   buffer to perf.

4) Perf detects a recursion and ignores it

5) Perf continues its work on the previous event, but its buffer
   has been overwritten by the lock_acquire event, it has then
   been turned into a lock_acquire event of rcu read lock

Such scenario also happens with lock_release with
rcu_read_unlock().

We could turn the rcu_read_lock() into __rcu_read_lock() to drop
the lock debugging from perf fast path, but that would make us
lose the rcu debugging and that doesn't prevent from other
possible kind of recursion from perf in the future.

This patch adds a recursion protection based on a counter on the
perf trace per cpu buffers to solve the problem.

-v2: Fixed lost whitespace, added reviewed-by tag

81adee47df net: Support specifying the network namespace upon device creation.
There is no good reason to not support userspace specifying the
network namespace during device creation, and it makes it easier
to create a network device and pass it to a child network namespace
with a well known name.

We have to be careful to ensure that the target network namespace
for the new device exists through the life of the call.  To keep
that logic clear I have factored out the network namespace grabbing
logic into rtnl_link_get_net.

In addtion we need to continue to pass the source network namespace
to the rtnl_link_ops.newlink method so that we can find the base
device source network namespace.

af81858172 mac80211: async station powersave handling
Some devices require that all frames to a station
are flushed when that station goes into powersave
mode before being able to send frames to that
station again when it wakes up or polls -- all in
order to avoid reordering and too many or too few
frames being sent to the station when it polls.

Normally, this is the case unless the station
goes to sleep and wakes up very quickly again.
But in that case, frames for it may be pending
on the hardware queues, and thus races could
happen in the case of multiple hardware queues
used for QoS/WMM. Normally this isn't a problem,
but with the iwlwifi mechanism we need to make
sure the race doesn't happen.

This makes mac80211 able to cope with the race
with driver help by a new WLAN_STA_PS_DRIVER
per-station flag that can be controlled by the
driver and tells mac80211 whether it can transmit
frames or not. This flag must be set according to
very specific rules outlined in the documentation
for the function that controls it.

When we buffer new frames for the station, we
normally set the TIM bit right away, but while
the driver has blocked transmission to that sta
we need to avoid that as well since we cannot
respond to the station if it wakes up due to the
TIM bit. Once the driver unblocks, we can set
the TIM bit.

Similarly, when the station just wakes up, we
need to wait until all other frames are flushed
before we can transmit frames to that station,
so the same applies here, we need to wait for
the driver to give the OK.

f9dd09c7f7 netfilter: nf_nat: fix NAT issue in 2.6.30.4+
Vitezslav Samel discovered that since 2.6.30.4+ active FTP can not work
over NAT. The "cause" of the problem was a fix of unacknowledged data
detection with NAT (commit a3a9f79e36).
However, actually, that fix uncovered a long standing bug in TCP conntrack:
when NAT was enabled, we simply updated the max of the right edge of
the segments we have seen (td_end), by the offset NAT produced with
changing IP/port in the data. However, we did not update the other parameter
(td_maxend) which is affected by the NAT offset. Thus that could drift
away from the correct value and thus resulted breaking active FTP.

The patch below fixes the issue by *not* updating the conntrack parameters
from NAT, but instead taking into account the NAT offsets in conntrack in a
consistent way. (Updating from NAT would be more harder and expensive because
it'd need to re-calculate parameters we already calculated in conntrack.)

d114cd84a1 ALSA: cs4236: detect chip in one pass
The cs4236 was two step detection with call to the snd_wss_free()
between two steps. The snd_wss_free() did not free a sound device
created in the snd_wss_create(). This caused an OOPS during module
removal as the same sound device was released twice. The same OOPS
happened if the cs4236 module loading failed.

Fix this by adapting the snd_cs4236_create() to correctly work with
chips less capable then cs4236. The snd_cs4236_create() behaves the
same as the snd_wss_create() if the chip is less capable than the cs4236.

2a855dd01b signal: Fix alternate signal stack check
All architectures in the kernel increment/decrement the stack pointer
before storing values on the stack.

On architectures which have the stack grow down sas_ss_sp == sp is not
on the alternate signal stack while sas_ss_sp + sas_ss_size == sp is
on the alternate signal stack.

On architectures which have the stack grow up sas_ss_sp == sp is on
the alternate signal stack while sas_ss_sp + sas_ss_size == sp is not
on the alternate signal stack.

The current implementation fails for architectures which have the
stack grow down on the corner case where sas_ss_sp == sp.This was
reported as Debian bug #544905 on AMD64.
Simplified test case: http://download.breakpoint.cc/tc-sig-stack.c

The test case creates the following stack scenario:
   0xn0300	stack top
   0xn0200	alt stack pointer top (when switching to alt stack)
   0xn01ff	alt stack end
   0xn0100	alt stack start == stack pointer

If the signal is sent the stack pointer is pointing to the base
address of the alt stack and the kernel erroneously decides that it
has already switched to the alternate stack because of the current
check for "sp - sas_ss_sp < sas_ss_size"

On parisc (stack grows up) the scenario would be:
   0xn0200	stack pointer
   0xn01ff	alt stack end
   0xn0100	alt stack start = alt stack pointer base
   		    	  	  (when switching to alt stack)
   0xn0000	stack base

This is handled correctly by the current implementation.

[ tglx: Modified for archs which have the stack grow up (parisc) which
  	would fail with the correct implementation for stack grows
  	down. Added a check for sp >= current->sas_ss_sp which is
  	strictly not necessary but makes the code symetric for both
  	variants ]

c6d14c8456 net: Introduce for_each_netdev_rcu() iterator
Adds RCU management to the list of netdevices.

Convert some for_each_netdev() users to RCU version, if
it can avoid read_lock-ing dev_base_lock

Ie:
	read_lock(&dev_base_loack);
	for_each_netdev(net, dev)
		some_action();
	read_unlock(&dev_base_lock);

becomes :

	rcu_read_lock();
	for_each_netdev_rcu(net, dev)
		some_action();
	rcu_read_unlock();

acc3f5d7ca cpumask: Partition_sched_domains takes array of cpumask_var_t
Currently partition_sched_domains() takes a 'struct cpumask
*doms_new' which is a kmalloc'ed array of cpumask_t.  You can't
have such an array if 'struct cpumask' is undefined, as we plan
for CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y.

So, we make this an array of cpumask_var_t instead: this is the
same for the CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=n case, but requires
multiple allocations for the CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y case.
Hence we add alloc_sched_domains() and free_sched_domains()
functions.
