32c97689c4 of/flattree: Eliminate need to provide early_init_dt_scan_chosen_arch
This patch refactors the early init parsing of the chosen node so that
architectures aren't forced to provide an empty implementation of
early_init_dt_scan_chosen_arch.  Instead, if an architecture wants to
do something different, it can either use a wrapper function around
early_init_dt_scan_chosen(), or it can replace it altogether.

This patch was written in preparation to adding device tree support to
both x86 ad MIPS.

7096d04221 of/device: Rework to use common platform_device_alloc() for allocating devices
The current code allocates and manages platform_devices created from
the device tree manually.  It also uses an unsafe shortcut for
allocating the platform_device and the resource table at the same
time. (which I added in the last rework; sorry).

This patch refactors the code to use platform_device_alloc() for
allocating new devices.  This reduces the amount of custom code
implemented by of_platform, eliminates the unsafe alloc trick, and has
the side benefit of letting the platform_bus code manage freeing the
device data and resources when the device is freed.

f4bc6bb2d5 tracing: Cleanup the convoluted softirq tracepoints
With the addition of trace_softirq_raise() the softirq tracepoint got
even more convoluted. Why the tracepoints take two pointers to assign
an integer is beyond my comprehension.

But adding an extra case which treats the first pointer as an unsigned
long when the second pointer is NULL including the back and forth
type casting is just horrible.

Convert the softirq tracepoints to take a single unsigned int argument
for the softirq vector number and fix the call sites.

6de5bd128d BKL: introduce CONFIG_BKL.
With all the patches we have queued in the BKL removal tree, only a
few dozen modules are left that actually rely on the BKL, and even
there are lots of low-hanging fruit. We need to decide what to do
about them, this patch illustrates one of the options:

Every user of the BKL is marked as 'depends on BKL' in Kconfig,
and the CONFIG_BKL becomes a user-visible option. If it gets
disabled, no BKL using module can be built any more and the BKL
code itself is compiled out.

The one exception is file locking, which is practically always
enabled and does a 'select BKL' instead. This effectively forces
CONFIG_BKL to be enabled until we have solved the fs/lockd
mess and can apply the patch that removes the BKL from fs/locks.c.

3701e51382 vlan: Centralize handling of hardware acceleration.
Currently each driver that is capable of vlan hardware acceleration
must be aware of the vlan groups that are configured and then pass
the stripped tag to a specialized receive function.  This is

different from other types of hardware offload in that it places a
significant amount of knowledge in the driver itself rather keeping
it in the networking core.

This makes vlan offloading function more similarly to other forms
of offloading (such as checksum offloading or TSO) by doing the
following:
* On receive, stripped vlans are passed directly to the network
core, without attempting to check for vlan groups or reconstructing
the header if no group
* vlans are made less special by folding the logic into the main
receive routines
* On transmit, the device layer will add the vlan header in software
if the hardware doesn't support it, instead of spreading that logic
out in upper layers, such as bonding.

There are a number of advantages to this:
* Fixes all bugs with drivers incorrectly dropping vlan headers at once.
* Avoids having to disable VLAN acceleration when in promiscuous mode
(good for bridging since it always puts devices in promiscuous mode).
* Keeps VLAN tag separate until given to ultimate consumer, which
avoids needing to do header reconstruction as in tg3 unless absolutely
necessary.
* Consolidates common code in core networking.

7b9c609037 vlan: Enable software emulation for vlan accleration.
Currently users of hardware vlan accleration need to know whether
the device supports it before generating packets.  However, vlan
acceleration will soon be available in a more flexible manner so
knowing ahead of time becomes much more difficult.  This adds
a software fallback path for vlan packets on devices without the
necessary offloading support, similar to other types of hardware
accleration.

Many video drivers implement a fixed set of frame formats and thus face a task
of finding the best match for a user-requested format. Implementing this in a
generic function has also an advantage, that different drivers with similar

226c0eeaea V4L/DVB: videotext: remove this obsolete API
Remove the vtx (aka videotext aka teletext) API from the v4l2 core.
This API was scheduled for removal in kernel 2.6.35.

The vtx device nodes have been superseded by vbi device nodes
for many years. No applications exist that use the vtx support.
Of the two i2c drivers that actually support this API the saa5249
has been impossible to use for a year now and no known hardware
that supports this device exists. The saa5246a is theoretically
supported by the old mxb boards, but it never actually worked.

In summary: there is no hardware that can use this API and there
are no applications actually implementing this API.

The vtx support still reserves minors 192-223 and we would really
like to reuse those for upcoming new functionality. In the unlikely
event that new hardware appears that wants to use the functionality
provided by the vtx API, then that functionality should be build
around the sliced VBI API instead.

1f33de0f8b V4L/DVB: gspca_xirlink_cit: New gspca subdriver replacing v4l1 usbvideo/ibmcam.c
The old usbvideo ibmcam driver needs to be replaced with a v4l2 driver
preferably using the gspca webcam framework rather then the old usbvideo
framework.

This new gspca sub driver sets a first step in that direction. The ibmcam
driver supports 4 different model webcams. This new driver (for now) only
supports Model 3 cameras, as my test cam is a Model 3 cam, or so I thought.

Upon reading:
http://www.linux-usb.org/ibmcam/
I learned that the IBM Netcamera Pro I have even though having the same
usb id and the same bcd version is different from the Model 3 cameras
supported by the ibmcam driver. So this new gscpa subdriver supports Model 3
cameras (untested), and the IBM Netcamera Pro. Currently use with the
IBM Netcamera Pro requires a module parameter. I hope to be able to
autodetect which is which in the future.

b0ae198113 security: remove unused parameter from security_task_setscheduler()
All security modules shouldn't change sched_param parameter of
security_task_setscheduler().  This is not only meaningless, but also
make a harmful result if caller pass a static variable.

This patch remove policy and sched_param parameter from
security_task_setscheduler() becuase none of security module is
using it.

3d14c5d2b6 ceph: factor out libceph from Ceph file system
This factors out protocol and low-level storage parts of ceph into a
separate libceph module living in net/ceph and include/linux/ceph.  This
is mostly a matter of moving files around.  However, a few key pieces
of the interface change as well:

 - ceph_client becomes ceph_fs_client and ceph_client, where the latter
   captures the mon and osd clients, and the fs_client gets the mds client
   and file system specific pieces.
 - Mount option parsing and debugfs setup is correspondingly broken into
   two pieces.
 - The mon client gets a generic handler callback for otherwise unknown
   messages (mds map, in this case).
 - The basic supported/required feature bits can be expanded (and are by
   ceph_fs_client).

No functional change, aside from some subtle error handling cases that got
cleaned up in the refactoring process.

c957ef2c59 percpu: Introduce a read-mostly percpu API
Add a new readmostly percpu section and API.  This can be used to
avoid dirtying data lines which are generally not written to, which is
especially important for data which may be accessed by processors
other than the one for which the percpu area belongs to.

[ hpa: moved it *after* the page-aligned section, for obvious
  reasons. ]

27b75c95f1 net: avoid RCU for NOCACHE dst
There is no point using RCU for dst we allocate for a very short time
(used once).

Change dst_release() to take DST_NOCACHE into account, but also change
skb_dst_set_noref() to force a refcount increment for such dst.

This is a _huge_ gain, because we dont waste memory to store xx thousand
of dsts. Instead of queueing them to RCU, we can free them instantly.

CPU caches can stay hot, re-using same memory blocks to hold temporary
dsts.

Note : remove unneeded smp_mb__before_atomic_dec(); in dst_release(),
since atomic_dec_return() implies a full memory barrier.

Stress test, 160.000.000 udp frames sent, IP route cache disabled
(DDOS).

Before:

real    0m38.091s
user    0m13.189s
sys     7m53.018s

After:

real	0m29.946s
user	0m12.157s
sys	7m40.605s

For reference, if IP route cache was enabled :

real	0m32.030s
user	0m10.521s

e6484930d7 net: allocate tx queues in register_netdevice
This patch introduces netif_alloc_netdev_queues which is called from
register_device instead of alloc_netdev_mq.  This makes TX queue
allocation symmetric with RX allocation.  Also, queue locks allocation
is done in netdev_init_one_queue.  Change set_real_num_tx_queues to
fail if requested number < 1 or greater than number of allocated
queues.
