Roland McGrath ccbe495caa x86-64: syscall-audit: fix 32/64 syscall hole
On x86-64, a 32-bit process (TIF_IA32) can switch to 64-bit mode with
ljmp, and then use the "syscall" instruction to make a 64-bit system
call.  A 64-bit process make a 32-bit system call with int $0x80.

In both these cases, audit_syscall_entry() will use the wrong system
call number table and the wrong system call argument registers.  This
could be used to circumvent a syscall audit configuration that filters
based on the syscall numbers or argument details.

Andres Salomon a0874897b1 sdhci: Add NO_BUSY_IRQ quirk for Marvell CAFE host chip
As described here: http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/2/20/265

The CAFE chip is broken due to commit e809517f6f.
Anton added a quirk here: http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/2/20/279 that fixes
CAFE's problem.  This adds the quirk for CAFE.

Ben Dooks f945405cde sdhci: Add quirk for controllers with no end-of-busy IRQ
The Samsung SDHCI (and FSL eSDHC) controller block seems to fail
to generate an INT_DATA_END after the transfer has completed and
the bus busy state finished.

Changes in e809517f6f to use the
new busy method are the cause of the behaviour change.

Pekka Paalanen 340430c572 x86 mmiotrace: fix race with release_kmmio_fault_page()
There was a theoretical possibility to a race between arming a page in
post_kmmio_handler() and disarming the page in
release_kmmio_fault_page():

cpu0                             cpu1
------------------------------------------------------------------
mmiotrace shutdown
enter release_kmmio_fault_page
                                 fault on the page
                                 disarm the page
disarm the page
                                 handle the MMIO access
                                 re-arm the page
put the page on release list
remove_kmmio_fault_pages()
                                 fault on the page
                                 page not known to mmiotrace
                                 fall back to do_page_fault()
                                 *KABOOM*

(This scenario also shows the double disarm case which is allowed.)

Fixed by acquiring kmmio_lock in post_kmmio_handler() and checking
if the page is being released from mmiotrace.

Blindly setting _PAGE_PRESENT in disarm_kmmio_fault_page() overlooks the
possibility, that the page was not present when it was armed.

Make arm_kmmio_fault_page() store the previous page presence in struct
kmmio_fault_page and use it on disarm.

This patch was originally written by Stuart Bennett, but Pekka Paalanen
rewrote it a little different.

Some Toshiba laptops have another ALC268 codec on slot#3 that conflicts
with the primary codec.  The codec#3 is for the digital I/O, and should
be fixed by the driver, but it'd need a bunch of changes.

So, let's fix the probe problem temporarily by setting the default
probe_mask value.

Bjørn Mork cac477e8f1 cdc_ether: add usb id for Ericsson F3507g
The Ericsson F3507g wireless broadband module provides a CDC Ethernet
compliant interface, but identifies it as a "Mobile Direct Line" CDC
subclass, thereby preventing the CDC Ethernet class driver from picking
it up.  This patch adds the device id to cdc_ether.c as a workaround.

Ericsson has provided a "class" driver for this device:
http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-net/2008/10/28/3832094
But closer inspection of that driver reveals that it adds little more
than duplication of code from cdc_ether.c.  See also

Ivan Vecera 6709fe9a27 r8169: read MAC address from EEPROM on init (2nd attempt)
This is 2nd attempt to implement the initialization/reading of MAC address
from EEPROM. The first used PCI's VPD and there were some problems, some
devices are not able to read EEPROM content by VPD. The 2nd one uses direct
access to EEPROM through bit-banging interface and my testing results seem
to be much better.

I tested 5 systems each with different Realtek NICs and I didn't find any
problem. AFAIK Francois's NICs also works fine.

Original description:
This fixes the problem when MAC address is set by ifconfig or by
ip link commands and this address is stored in the device after
reboot. The power-off is needed to get right MAC address.
This is problem when Xen daemon is running because it renames the device
name from ethX to pethX and sets its MAC address to FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF.
After reboot the device is still using FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF.

Herbert Xu 4ead443163 netpoll: Add drop checks to all entry points
The netpoll entry checks are required to ensure that we don't
receive normal packets when invoked via netpoll.  Unfortunately
it only ever worked for the netif_receive_skb/netif_rx entry
points.  The VLAN (and subsequently GRO) entry point didn't
have the check and therefore can trigger all sorts of weird
problems.

This patch adds the netpoll check to all entry points.

I'm still uneasy with receiving at all under netpoll (which
apparently is only used by the out-of-tree kdump code).  The
reason is it is perfectly legal to receive all data including
headers into highmem if netpoll is off, but if you try to do
that with netpoll on and someone gets a printk in an IRQ handler                                             
you're going to get a nice BUG_ON.

Christoph Hellwig 5cf8cf4146 Fix FREEZE/THAW compat_ioctl regression
Commit 8e961870bb removed the FREEZE/THAW
handling in xfs_compat_ioctl but never added any compat handler back, so
now any freeze/thaw request from a 32-bit binary ond 64-bit userspace
will fail.

As these ioctls are 32/64-bit compatible two simple COMPATIBLE_IOCTL
entries in fs/compat_ioctl.c will do the job.

We should allow testing of all modifiers not just attributes.  Extend
testing and test for all the know modifiers.

Andy Whitcroft 667026e7b0 checkpatch: a modifier is not an identifier at the end of a type
We must make sure we do not misrecognise a modifier as an Identifier
when trying to match types.  Prevent us matching this:

	void * __ref

Vegard Nossum cbb766766f mm: fix lazy vmap purging (use-after-free error)

It happened here:

    $ addr2line -e vmlinux -i c1096df7
    mm/vmalloc.c:540

Code:

	list_for_each_entry(va, &valist, purge_list)
		__free_vmap_area(va);

It's this instruction:

    mov    0x20(%ebx),%edx

Which corresponds to a dereference of va->purge_list.next:

    (gdb) p ((struct vmap_area *) 0)->purge_list.next
    Cannot access memory at address 0x20

It seems that we should use "safe" list traversal here, as the element
is freed inside the loop. Please verify that this is the right fix.
