The link state machine requires access to some resources that
are shared with the iSCSI function on the chip. (See iSCSI
driver at drivers/scsi/qla4xxx) If the interface is being
up/downed at a rapid pace this driver may need to sleep
waiting to get access to the common resources. For this we

bonding: don't validate address at device open
The standard validate_addr handler refuses to accept the all zeroes address
as valid. However, it's common historical practice for the bonding
master to be configured up prior to having any slaves, at which time the
master will have a MAC address of all zeroes.
Resolved by setting the dev->validate_addr to NULL. The master still can't
end up with an invalid address, as the set_mac_address function tests
for validity.

[FUTEX] Fix address computation in compat code.
compat_exit_robust_list() computes a pointer to the
futex entry in userspace as follows:
(void __user *)entry + futex_offset
'entry' is a 'struct robust_list __user *', and
'futex_offset' is a 'compat_long_t' (typically a 's32').
Things explode if the 32-bit sign bit is set in futex_offset.
Type promotion sign extends futex_offset to a 64-bit value before
adding it to 'entry'.
This triggered a problem on sparc64 running 32-bit applications which
would lock up a cpu looping forever in the fault handling for the
userspace load in handle_futex_death().
Compat userspace runs with address masking (wherein the cpu zeros out
the top 32-bits of every effective address given to a memory operation
instruction) so the sparc64 fault handler accounts for this by
zero'ing out the top 32-bits of the fault address too.
Since the kernel properly uses the compat_uptr interfaces, kernel side
accesses to compat userspace work too since they will only use
addresses with the top 32-bit clear.
Because of this compat futex layer bug we get into the following loop
when executing the get_user() load near the top of handle_futex_death():
1) load from address '0xfffffffff7f16bd8', FAULT
2) fault handler clears upper 32-bits, processes fault
for address '0xf7f16bd8' which succeeds
3) goto #1

sched: fix copy_namespace() <-> sched_fork() dependency in do_fork
Sukadev Bhattiprolu reported a kernel crash with control groups.
There are couple of problems discovered by Suka's test:
- The test requires the cgroup filesystem to be mounted with
atleast the cpu and ns options (i.e both namespace and cpu
controllers are active in the same hierarchy).
# mkdir /dev/cpuctl
# mount -t cgroup -ocpu,ns none cpuctl
(or simply)
# mount -t cgroup none cpuctl -> Will activate all controllers
in same hierarchy.
- The test invokes clone() with CLONE_NEWNS set. This causes a a new child
to be created, also a new group (do_fork->copy_namespaces->ns_cgroup_clone->
cgroup_clone) and the child is attached to the new group (cgroup_clone->
attach_task->sched_move_task). At this point in time, the child's scheduler
related fields are uninitialized (including its on_rq field, which it has
inherited from parent). As a result sched_move_task thinks its on
runqueue, when it isn't.
As a solution to this problem, I moved sched_fork() call, which
initializes scheduler related fields on a new task, before
copy_namespaces(). I am not sure though whether moving up will
cause other side-effects. Do you see any issue?
- The second problem exposed by this test is that task_new_fair()
assumes that parent and child will be part of the same group (which
needn't be as this test shows). As a result, cfs_rq->curr can be NULL
for the child.
The solution is to test for curr pointer being NULL in
task_new_fair().
With the patch below, I could run ns_exec() fine w/o a crash.

sched: restore deterministic CPU accounting on powerpc
Since powerpc started using CONFIG_GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS, the
deterministic CPU accounting (CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING) has been
broken on powerpc, because we end up counting user time twice: once in
timer_interrupt() and once in update_process_times().
This fixes the problem by pulling the code in update_process_times
that updates utime and stime into a separate function called
account_process_tick. If CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING is not defined,
there is a version of account_process_tick in kernel/timer.c that
simply accounts a whole tick to either utime or stime as before. If
CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING is defined, then arch code gets to
implement account_process_tick.
This also lets us simplify the s390 code a bit; it means that the s390
timer interrupt can now call update_process_times even when
CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING is turned on, and can just implement a
suitable account_process_tick().
account_process_tick() now takes the task_struct * as an argument.

pktcdvd: fix BUG caused by sysfs module reference semantics change
pkt_setup_dev() expects module reference to be held on invocation.
This used to be true for sysfs callbacks but not anymore. Test and
grab module reference around pkt_setup_dev() in
class_pktcdvd_store_add().

[POWERPC] Make altivec code in swsusp_32.S depend on CONFIG_ALTIVEC
This makes the altivec code in swsusp_32.S depend on CONFIG_ALTIVEC to
avoid build failures for systems that don't have altivec. I'm not sure
whether the code will actually work for other systems, but it was merged
for just ppc32 rather than powermac a very long time ago.

When I fixed the windfarm freezer interaction first in commit 1ed2ddf380e19dafeec2150ca709ef7f4a67cd21, an earlier patch than the one
I came up with after comments was committed. This has come back to haunt
us now because commit d5d8c5976d6adeddb8208c240460411e2198b393 changed
the freezer to no long send signals. Fix it by removing the windfarm
thread's signal logic and restoring the original try_to_freeze().
We could simply revert 1ed2ddf380e19dafeec2150ca709ef7f4a67cd21 now
but I feel that the assertion that no signal is delivered to the
windfarm thread needs not be there.

[POWERPC] Fix si_addr value on low level hash failures
If the low level MMU hash table insertion returns an error (which
can happen in some rare circumstances when the hypervisor refuses
the insertion of a PTE, typically if you try to access junk via
/dev/mem), the generated signal had an incorrect si_addr value due
to a bug in the assembly, which was loading it as a 32 bits quantity
instead of a 64 bits quantity.

An allyesconfig build creates a .text section that is so big that the
.text.init.refok and .fixup sections are too far away for the relocations
to be fixed up correctly. This patch fixes that by linking all the
relevent text sections for each file together.

[POWERPC] Fix off-by-one error in setting decrementer on Book E/4xx (v2)
The decrementer in Book E and 4xx processors interrupts on the
transition from 1 to 0, rather than on the 0 to -1 transition as on
64-bit server and 32-bit "classic" (6xx/7xx/7xxx) processors. At the
moment we subtract 1 from the count of how many decrementer ticks are
required before the next interrupt before putting it into the
decrementer, which is correct for server/classic processors, but could
possibly cause the interrupt to happen too early on Book E and 4xx if
the timebase/decrementer frequency is low.
This fixes the problem by making set_dec subtract 1 from the count for
server and classic processors, instead of having the callers subtract
1. Since set_dec already had a bunch of ifdefs to handle different
processor types, there is no net increase in ugliness. :)
Note that calling set_dec(0) may not generate an interrupt on some
processors. To make sure that decrementer_set_next_event always calls
set_dec with an interval of at least 1 tick, we set min_delta_ns of
the decrementer_clockevent to correspond to 2 ticks (2 rather than 1
to compensate for truncations in the conversions between ticks and
ns).
This also removes a redundant call to set the decrementer to
0x7fffffff - it was already set to that earlier in timer_interrupt.
