Calling an incoming NET/ROM-encapsulated IP packet an error if the

For reason that probably nobody recalls NET/ROM does it's actual
packet transmission in nr_rebuild_header and even treats invocation of
it's hard_start_xmit method nr_xmit as a bug. Fix that by splitting
the job done by nr_rebuild_header into two halves. Along with that we
now also can get rid of the silly clone of the skb on transmit.

Kernel connector - new userspace <-> kernel space easy to use
communication module which implements easy to use bidirectional
message bus using netlink as it's backend. Connector was created to
eliminate complex skb handling both in send and receive message bus
direction.
Connector driver adds possibility to connect various agents using as
one of it's backends netlink based network. One must register
callback and identifier. When driver receives special netlink message
with appropriate identifier, appropriate callback will be called.
From the userspace point of view it's quite straightforward:
socket();
bind();
send();
recv();
But if kernelspace want to use full power of such connections, driver
writer must create special sockets, must know about struct sk_buff
handling... Connector allows any kernelspace agents to use netlink
based networking for inter-process communication in a significantly
easier way:
int cn_add_callback(struct cb_id *id, char *name, void (*callback) (void *));
void cn_netlink_send(struct cn_msg *msg, u32 __groups, int gfp_mask);
struct cb_id
{
__u32 idx;
__u32 val;
};
idx and val are unique identifiers which must be registered in
connector.h for in-kernel usage. void (*callback) (void *) - is a
callback function which will be called when message with above idx.val
will be received by connector core.
Using connector completely hides low-level transport layer from it's
users.
Connector uses new netlink ability to have many groups in one socket.

[PATCH] MCA/INIT: use per cpu stacks
The bulk of the change. Use per cpu MCA/INIT stacks. Change the SAL
to OS state (sos) to be per process. Do all the assembler work on the
MCA/INIT stacks, leaving the original stack alone. Pass per cpu state
data to the C handlers for MCA and INIT, which also means changing the
mca_drv interfaces slightly. Lots of verification on whether the
original stack is usable before converting it to a sleeping process.

Reading the INIT record from SAL during the INIT event has proved to be

Change salinfo.c so mca.c can just flag that a new record is available,

can be applied without the new MCA/INIT handlers.
Also clean up some usage of NR_CPUS which should have been using

kbuild: rename prepare to archprepare to fix dependency chain
When introducing the generic asm-offsets.h support the dependency
chain for the prepare targets was changed. All build scripts expecting
include/asm/asm-offsets.h to be made when using the prepare target would broke.
With the limited number of prepare targets left in arch Makefiles
the trivial solution was to introduce a new arch specific target: archprepare
So prepare 3 is processed before prepare2 etc.
This guaantees that the asm symlink, version.h, scripts_basic
are all updated before archprepare is processed.
prepare0 which build the asm-offsets.h file will need the
actions performed by archprepare.
The head target is now named prepare, because users scripts will most
likely use that target, but prepare-all has been kept for compatibility.

The UML fault handler was recently changed to enforce PROT_NONE protections,
by requiring VM_READ or VM_EXEC on VMA's.
However, by mistake, things were changed such that VM_READ is always checked,
also on write faults; so a VMA mapped with only PROT_WRITE is not readable
(unless it's prefaulted with MAP_POPULATE or with a write), which is different
from i386.
Discovered while testing remap_file_pages protection support.

Turns out that, for UML, a *lot* of VM-related trivial functions are not
inlined but rather normal functions.
In other sections of UML code, this is justified by having files which
interact with the host and cannot therefore include kernel headers, but in
this case there's no such justification.
I've had to turn many of them to macros because of missing declarations. While
doing this, I've decided to reuse some already existing macros.

Inside the linker script, insert the code for DWARF debug info sections. This

what I added correctly, but normal linker scripts include this section so it
should be correct anyway adding it.
On request by Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>, I've added it to
asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.s. I've also moved there the stabs debug section,
used the new macro in i386 linker script and added DWARF debug section to
that.
In the truth, I've not been able to verify the difference in GDB behaviour
after this change (I've seen large improvements with another patch). This
may depend on my binutils version, older one may have worse defaults.
However, this section is present in normal linker script, so add it at
least for the sake of cleanness.

This allows cpus to be off-lined on 32-bit SMP powermacs. When a cpu
is off-lined, it is put into sleep mode with interrupts disabled. It
can be on-lined again by asserting its soft-reset pin, which is
connected to a GPIO pin.
With this I can off-line the second cpu in my dual G4 powermac, which
means that I can then suspend the machine (the suspend/resume code
refuses to suspend if more than one cpu is online, and making it cope
with multiple cpus is surprisingly messy).

[PATCH] ppc32: Kill init on unhandled synchronous signals
This is a patch that I have had in my tree for ages. If init causes
an exception that raises a signal, such as a SIGSEGV, SIGILL or
SIGFPE, and it hasn't registered a handler for it, we don't deliver
the signal, since init doesn't get any signals that it doesn't have a
handler for. But that means that we just return to userland and
generate the same exception again immediately. With this patch we
print a message and kill init in this situation.
This is very useful when you have a bug in the kernel that means that
init doesn't get as far as executing its first instruction. :)
Without this patch the system hangs when it gets to starting the
userland init; with it you at least get a message giving you a clue
about what has gone wrong.
