libata depends on scsi_host_template for module reference counting and sht's should be owned by each low level driver. During libahci split, the sht was left with libahci.ko leaving the actual low level drivers not reference counted. This made ahci and ahci_platform always unloadable even while they're being actively used. Fix it by defining AHCI_SHT() macro in ahci.h and defining a sht for each low level ahci driver. stable: only applicable to 2.6.35.

The PKT_CTRL_CMD_STATUS device ioctl retrieves a pointer to a pktcdvd_device from the global pkt_devs array. The index into this array is provided directly by the user and is a signed integer, so the comparison to ensure that it falls within the bounds of this array will fail when provided with a negative index. This can be used to read arbitrary kernel memory or cause a crash due to an invalid pointer dereference. This can be exploited by users with permission to open /dev/pktcdvd/control (on many distributions, this is readable by group "cdrom").

The HW by default has RX coalescing on. For iWARP connections, this causes a 100ms delay in connection establishement due to the ingress MPA Start message being stalled in HW. So explicitly turn RX coalescing off when setting up iWARP connections. This was causing very bad performance for NP64 gather operations using Open MPI, due to the way it sets up connections on larger jobs.

The PL310 on the ct-ca9x4 tile for the Versatile Express does not need to add additional latency when accessing its cache RAMs. Unfortunately, the boot monitor sets this up for an 8-cycle delay on reads and writes, resulting in greatly reduced memory performance when the L2 cache is enabled. This patch sets the L2 RAM latencies to the correct value of 1 cycle on the ct-ca9x4 tile before enabling the L2 cache.

f4347553 removed the edac polling mechanism in favor of using a notifier chain for conveying MCE information to edac. However, the module removal path didn't test whether the driver had setup the polling function workqueue at all and the rmmod process was hanging in the kernel at try_to_del_timer_sync() in the cancel_delayed_work() path, trying to cancel an uninitialized work struct. Fix that by adding a balancing check to the workqueue removal path. Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov <borislav.petkov@amd.com>

Alexander Chumachenko authored
While debugging bit_spin_lock() hang, it was tracked down to gcc-4.4 misoptimization of non-inlined constant_test_bit() due to non-volatile addr when 'const volatile unsigned long *addr' cast to 'unsigned long *' with subsequent unconditional jump to pause (and not to the test) leading to hang. Compiling with gcc-4.3 or disabling CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING yields inlined constant_test_bit() and correct jump, thus working around the kernel bug. Other arches than asm-x86 may implement this slightly differently; 2.6.29 mitigates the misoptimization by changing the function prototype (commit c4295fbb) but probably fixing the issue itself is better.

System call entry functions sys_*() are never to be called from general kernel code. The fact that they aren't declared in header files should have been a clue.

In the commit f522886e a merge conflict in the sdhci-s3c driver been fixed. However the fix used incorrect spinlock operation - it caused a race with sdhci interrupt service. The correct way to solve it is to use spin_lock_irqsave/irqrestore() calls.

We want interrupts disabled on all paths leading to RESTORE_ALL; otherwise, we are risking an IRQ coming between the updates of alpha_mv->hae_cache and *alpha_mv->hae_register and set_hae() within the IRQ getting badly confused. RESTORE_ALL used to play with disabling IRQ itself, but that got removed back in 2002, without making sure we had them disabled on all paths. It's cheaper to make sure we have them disabled than to revert to original variant... Remove the detritus left from that commit back in 2002; we used to need a reload of $0 and $1 since swpipl would change those, but doing that had become pointless when we stopped doing swpipl in there...
