wwang f704648281 staging:rts_pstor: fix thread synchronization flow
Using different completion variables to synchronize different kernel threads

This patch fix a bug that may cause memory leak when driver
disconnected. This is not a very urgent bug. Because with the default
setting, driver disconnectting routine won't be called except when Linux
is shut down. But if the option auto_delink_en is set, a small number of
memory would leak out after memory card unplugged.

Linus Torvalds 2f84dd7091 autofs4: fix debug printk warning uncovered by cleanup
The previous comit made the autofs4 debug printouts check types against
the printout format, and uncovered this bug:

  fs/autofs4/waitq.c:106:2: warning: format ‘%08lx’ expects type ‘long unsigned int’, but argument 4 has type ‘autofs_wqt_t’

which is due to the insane type for wait_queue_token.  That thing should
be some fixed well-defined size (preferably just 'unsigned int' or
'u32') but for unexplained reasons it is randomly either 'unsigned long'
or 'unsigned int' depending on the architecture.

For now, cast it to 'unsigned long' for printing, the way we do
elsewhere.  Somebody else can try to explain the typedef mess.

(There's a reason we don't support excessive use of typedefs in the
kernel: it's usually just a good way of confusing yourself).

Linus Torvalds c3ad996246 autofs4: clean up uaotfs use of debug/info/warning printouts
Use 'pr_debug()' for DPRINTK, which will do the proper type checking on
the arguments (without generating code) even when DEBUG isn't #defined.

Also, use the standard __VA_ARGS__ for the macros, and stop the
pointless abuse of 'do { xyz } while (0)' when the macro is already a
perfectly well-formed single statement.

Jonathan Nieder aba8d05607 perf tools: do not look at ./config for configuration
In addition to /etc/perfconfig and $HOME/.perfconfig, perf looks for
configuration in the file ./config, imitating git which looks at
$GIT_DIR/config.  If ./config is not a perf configuration file, it
fails, or worse, treats it as a configuration file and changes behavior
in some unexpected way.

"config" is not an unusual name for a file to be lying around and perf
does not have a private directory dedicated for its own use, so let's
just stop looking for configuration in the cwd.  Callers needing
context-sensitive configuration can use the PERF_CONFIG environment
variable.

Richard Cochran 8028837d71 dp83640: increase receive time stamp buffer size
The dp83640 buffers receive time stamps from special PHY status frames,
matching them to received PTP packets in a work queue. Because the timeout
for orphaned time stamps is so long and the buffer is so small, the driver
can drop time stamps under moderate PTP traffic.

This commit fixes the issue by decreasing the timeout to (at least) one
timer tick and increasing the buffer size.

Richard Cochran cbc056602c gianfar: fix fiper alignment after resetting the time
After resetting the time, the PPS signals on the FIPER output channels
are incorrectly offset from the clock time, as can be readily verified
by a looping back the FIPER to the external time stamp input.

Despite its name, setting the "Fiper Realignment Disable" bit seems to
fix the problem, at least on the P2020.

Also, following the example code from the Freescale BSP, it is not really
necessary to disable and re-enable the timer in order to reprogram the
FIPER. (The documentation is rather unclear on this point. It seems that
writing to the alarm register also disables the FIPER.)

Julian Anastasov 797fd3913a netfilter: TCP and raw fix for ip_route_me_harder
TCP in some cases uses different global (raw) socket
to send RST and ACK. The transparent flag is not set there.
Currently, it is a problem for rerouting after the previous
change.

	Fix it by simplifying the checks in ip_route_me_harder
and use FLOWI_FLAG_ANYSRC even for sockets. It looks safe
because the initial routing allowed this source address to
be used and now we just have to make sure the packet is rerouted.

	As a side effect this also allows rerouting for normal
raw sockets that use spoofed source addresses which was not possible
even before we eliminated the ip_route_input call.

David S. Miller 6602a4baf4 net: Make userland include of netlink.h more sane.
Currently userland will barf when including linux/netlink.h unless it
precisely includes sys/socket.h first.  The issue is where the
definition of "sa_family_t" comes from.

We've been back and forth on how to fix this issue in the past, see:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.devel.bugs.general/622621
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/143380

Ben Hutchings suggested we take a hint from how we handle the
sockaddr_storage type.  First we define a "__kernel_sa_family_t"
to linux/socket.h that is always defined.

Then if __KERNEL__ is defined, we also define "sa_family_t" as
equal to "__kernel_sa_family_t".

Then in places like linux/netlink.h we use __kernel_sa_family_t
in user visible datastructures.

Linus Torvalds 4d4487140d arm: remove "optimized" SHA1 routines
Since commit 1eb19a12bd ("lib/sha1: use the git implementation of
SHA-1"), the ARM SHA1 routines no longer work.  The reason? They
depended on the larger 320-byte workspace, and now the sha1 workspace is
just 16 words (64 bytes).  So the assembly version would overwrite the
stack randomly.

The optimized asm version is also probably slower than the new improved
C version, so there's no reason to keep it around.  At least that was
the case in git, where what appears to be the same assembly language
version was removed two years ago because the optimized C BLK_SHA1 code
was faster.

Thomas Meyer 67ada8367c ALSA: asihpi - use kzalloc()
Use kzalloc rather than kmalloc followed by memset with 0

 This considers some simple cases that are common and easy to validate
 Note in particular that there are no ...s in the rule, so all of the
 matched code has to be contiguous

 The semantic patch that makes this output is available
 in scripts/coccinelle/api/alloc/kzalloc-simple.cocci.

Ari Savolainen 206b1d09a5 Fix POSIX ACL permission check
After commit 3567866bf261: "RCUify freeing acls, let check_acl() go ahead in
RCU mode if acl is cached" posix_acl_permission is being called with an
unsupported flag and the permission check fails. This patch fixes the issue.

Linus Torvalds 3ddcd0569c vfs: optimize inode cache access patterns
The inode structure layout is largely random, and some of the vfs paths
really do care.  The path lookup in particular is already quite D$
intensive, and profiles show that accessing the 'inode->i_op->xyz'
fields is quite costly.

We already optimized the dcache to not unnecessarily load the d_op
structure for members that are often NULL using the DCACHE_OP_xyz bits
in dentry->d_flags, and this does something very similar for the inode
ops that are used during pathname lookup.

It also re-orders the fields so that the fields accessed by 'stat' are
together at the beginning of the inode structure, and roughly in the
order accessed.

The effect of this seems to be in the 1-2% range for an empty kernel
"make -j" run (which is fairly kernel-intensive, mostly in filename
lookup), so it's visible.  The numbers are fairly noisy, though, and
likely depend a lot on exact microarchitecture.  So there's more tuning
to be done.
