The tty layer provides a callback that is used when the line discipline
is changed. Some hardware uses this to configure hardware specific
features such as IrDA mode on serial ports. Unfortunately the serial
layer does not provide this feature or pass it down to drivers.
Blackfin used to hack around this by rewriting the tty ops, but those are
now properly shared and const so the hack fails. Instead provide the
proper operations.
This change plus a follow up from the Blackfin guys is needed to avoid
blackfin losing features in this release.

The current __raw_write_can_lock macro tests whether the lock can be
locked by checking if it is equal to 0x80000000, whereas the lock
should be lockable if its value is 0 i.e. unlocked state is
represented by 0. Hence the macro should test the value of lock
against 0 and not 0x80000000.

As noted by Matthew Wilcox:
Kyle McMartin just tracked down a bug on parisc to a missing
"memory" clobber in the inline assembly implementation of
ip_fast_csum. The FRV, SH and Xtensa ports are also missing a
memory clobber, so I thought it would be polite to let you know.
The bug manifests as dropped network packets (obviously they have
the wrong checksum). It started appearing for parisc with GCC 4.3.
The GCC manual says:
If your assembler instructions access memory in an unpredictable
fashion, add `memory' to the list of clobbered registers. This
will cause GCC to not keep memory values cached in registers
across the assembler instruction and not optimize stores or loads
to that memory.
I see that FRV has a 400 byte memory output which may prevent this
problem from appearing, but SH and Xtensa have nothing to prevent
this bug. Hope this saves you a few days of debugging.

support.
Source code out there hard-codes a notion of what the
_LINUX_CAPABILITY_VERSION #define means in terms of the semantics of the
raw capability system calls capget() and capset(). Its unfortunate, but
true.
Since the confusing header file has been in a released kernel, there is
software that is erroneously using 64-bit capabilities with the semantics
of 32-bit compatibilities. These recently compiled programs may suffer
corruption of their memory when sys_getcap() overwrites more memory than
they are coded to expect, and the raising of added capabilities when using
sys_capset().
As such, this patch does a number of things to clean up the situation
for all. It
1. forces the _LINUX_CAPABILITY_VERSION define to always retain its
legacy value.
2. adopts a new #define strategy for the kernel's internal
implementation of the preferred magic.
3. deprecates v2 capability magic in favor of a new (v3) magic
number. The functionality of v3 is entirely equivalent to v2,
the only difference being that the v2 magic causes the kernel
to log a "deprecated" warning so the admin can find applications
that may be using v2 inappropriately.
[User space code continues to be encouraged to use the libcap API which
protects the application from details like this. libcap-2.10 is the first
to support v3 capabilities.]
Fixes issue reported in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=447518.

Gcc might re-order MMIO accessors vs. surrounding consistent
memory accesses, which is a "bad thing", and could break drivers.
This fixes it by adding a "memory" clobber to the MMIO accessors,
which should prevent gcc from doing that reordering.

The SW_RADIO code for EV_SW events has a name that is not descriptive
enough of its intended function, and could induce someone to think
KEY_RADIO is its EV_KEY counterpart, which is false.
Rename it to SW_RFKILL_ALL, and document what this event is for. Keep
the old name around, to avoid userspace ABI breaks.
The SW_RFKILL_ALL event is meant to be used by rfkill master switches. It
is not bound to a particular radio switch type, and usually applies to all
types. It is semantically tied to master rfkill switches that enable or
disable every radio in a system.

virtio allows drivers to suppress callbacks (ie. interrupts) for
efficiency (no locking, it's just an optimization).
There's a similar mechanism for the host to suppress notifications
coming from the guest: in that case, we ignore the suppression if the
ring is completely full.
It turns out that life is simpler if the host similarly ignores
callback suppression when the ring is completely empty: the network
driver wants to free up old packets in a timely manner, and otherwise
has to use a timer to poll.
We have to remove the code which ignores interrupts when the driver
has disabled them (again, it had no locking and hence was unreliable
anyway).

Note that by itself, having a "hardware" random generator does very
little: you should probably run "rngd" in your guest to feed this into
the kernel entropy pool.
Included:
virtio_rng: dont use vmalloced addresses for virtio
If virtio_rng is build as a module, random_data is an address
in vmalloc space. As virtio expects guest real addresses, this
can cause any kind of funny behaviour, so lets allocate
random_data dynamically with kmalloc.

Hello Rusty,
sometimes it is useful to share a disk (e.g. usr). To avoid file system
corruption, the disk should be mounted read-only in that case. This patch
adds a new feature flag, that allows the host to specify, if the disk should
be considered read-only.

improve the sysbench ramp-up phase and its peak throughput on
a 16way NUMA box, by turning on WAKE_AFFINE:

2: 1465 1391 -5.28%

256: 8475 8144 -4.07%
-------------------------------------------------
SUM: 57558 57882 +0.56%
this change also improves lat_ctx from 6.69 usecs to 1.11 usec:
$ ./lat_ctx -s 0 2
"size=0k ovr=1.19
2 1.11
$ ./lat_ctx -s 0 2
"size=0k ovr=1.22
2 6.69
in sysbench it's an overall win with some weakness at the lots-of-clients
side. That happens because we now under-balance this workload
a bit. To counter that effect, turn on NEWIDLE:
wake-idle wake-idle+newidle
-------------------------------------------------
1: 830 834 +0.43%
2: 1391 1401 +0.65%
4: 3105 3091 -0.43%
8: 6021 6046 +0.42%
16: 10745 10736 -0.08%
32: 10150 10206 +0.55%
64: 9240 9533 +3.08%
128: 8252 8355 +1.24%
256: 8144 8384 +2.87%
-------------------------------------------------
SUM: 57882 58591 +1.21%
as a bonus this not only improves the many-clients case but
also improves the (more important) rampup phase.
sysbench is a workload that quickly breaks down if the
scheduler over-balances, so since it showed an improvement
under NEWIDLE this change is definitely good.

Problem: An application violating the architectural rules regarding
operation dependencies and having specific Register Stack Engine (RSE)
state at the time of the violation, may result in an illegal operation
fault and invalid RSE state. Such faults may initiate a cascade of
repeated illegal operation faults within OS interruption handlers.
The specific behavior is OS dependent.
Implication: An application causing an illegal operation fault with
specific RSE state may result in a series of illegal operation faults
and an eventual OS stack overflow condition.
Workaround: OS interruption handlers that switch to kernel backing
store implement a check for invalid RSE state to avoid the series
of illegal operation faults.
The core of the workaround is the RSE_WORKAROUND code sequence
inserted into each invocation of the SAVE_MIN_WITH_COVER and
SAVE_MIN_WITH_COVER_R19 macros. This sequence includes hard-coded
constants that depend on the number of stacked physical registers
being 96. The rest of this patch consists of code to disable this
workaround should this not be the case (with the presumption that
if a future Itanium processor increases the number of registers, it
would also remove the need for this patch).
Move the start of the RBS up to a mod32 boundary to avoid some
corner cases.
The dispatch_illegal_op_fault code outgrew the spot it was
squatting in when built with this patch and CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING=y
Move it out to the end of the ivt.

As Austin pointed out, the execing task can be killed by SI_TIMER signal
because exec flushes the signal handlers, but doesn't discard the pending
signals generated by posix timers. Perhaps not a bug, but people find this
