This patch is part of a larger patch series which will remove
the "char bus_id[20]" name string from struct device. The device
name is managed in the kobject anyway, and without any size
limitation, and just needlessly copied into "struct device".
To set and read the device name dev_name(dev) and dev_set_name(dev)
must be used. If your code uses static kobjects, which it shouldn't
do, "const char *init_name" can be used to statically provide the
name the registered device should have. At registration time, the
init_name field is cleared, to enforce the use of dev_name(dev) to
access the device name at a later time.
We need to get rid of all occurrences of bus_id in the entire tree
to be able to enable the new interface. Please apply this patch,
and possibly convert any remaining remaining occurrences of bus_id.
We want to submit a patch to -next, which will remove bus_id from

switch over to the new api, which will remove the 20 bytes array

SUNRPC: Fix a performance regression in the RPC authentication code
Fix a regression reported by Max Kellermann whereby kernel profiling
showed that his clients were spending 45% of their time in
rpcauth_lookup_credcache.
It turns out that although his processes had identical uid/gid/groups,
generic_match() was failing to detect this, because the task->group_info
pointers were not shared. This again lead to the creation of a huge number
of identical credentials at the RPC layer.
The regression is fixed by comparing the contents of task->group_info
if the actual pointers are not identical.

parisc: fix bug in compat_arch_ptrace
Commit 81e192d6ce303b6792aa38ff35f41a1a7357f23a ("parisc: convert to
generic compat_sys_ptrace") introduced a bug which segfaults the parisc
64bit kernel when stracing 32bit applications:
The problem is that compat_arch_ptrace() enters with an addr value of
type compat_ulong_t and calls translate_usr_offset() to translate the
address offset into a struct pt_regs offset like this:
addr = translate_usr_offset(addr)
this means that any return value of translate_usr_offset() is stored
back as compat_ulong_t type into the addr variable.
But since translate_usr_offset() returns -1 for invalid offsets, addr
can now get the value 0xffffffff which then fails the next return-value
sanity check and thus the kernel tries to access invalid memory:
if (addr < 0)
break;
Fix this bug by modifying translate_usr_offset() to take and return
values of type compat_ulong_t, and by returning the value
"sizeof(struct pt_regs)" as an error indicator.
Additionally change the sanity check to check for return values
for >= sizeof(struct pt_regs).

Currently, if multiple unicast addresses are programmed into a
mv643xx_eth interface, the core networking will resort to enabling
promiscuous mode on the interface, as mv643xx_eth does not implement
->set_rx_mode().
This patch switches mv643xx_eth over from ->set_multicast_list()
to ->set_rx_mode(), and implements support for secondary unicast
addresses. The hardware can handle multiple unicast addresses as
long as their first 11 nibbles are the same (i.e. are of the form
xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xy where the x part is the same for all addresses), so
if that is the case, we use that mode. If it's not the case, we enable
unicast promiscuous mode in the hardware, which is slightly better than
enabling promiscuous mode for multicasts as well, which is what would
happen before.
While we are at it, change the programming sequence so that we
don't clear all filter bits first, so we don't lose all incoming
packets while the filter is being reprogrammed.
