721eecbf4f KVM: irqfd
KVM provides a complete virtual system environment for guests, including
support for injecting interrupts modeled after the real exception/interrupt
facilities present on the native platform (such as the IDT on x86).
Virtual interrupts can come from a variety of sources (emulated devices,
pass-through devices, etc) but all must be injected to the guest via
the KVM infrastructure.  This patch adds a new mechanism to inject a specific
interrupt to a guest using a decoupled eventfd mechnanism:  Any legal signal
on the irqfd (using eventfd semantics from either userspace or kernel) will
translate into an injected interrupt in the guest at the next available
interrupt window.

890ca9aefa KVM: Add MCE support
The related MSRs are emulated. MCE capability is exported via
extension KVM_CAP_MCE and ioctl KVM_X86_GET_MCE_CAP_SUPPORTED.  A new
vcpu ioctl command KVM_X86_SETUP_MCE is used to setup MCE emulation
such as the mcg_cap. MCE is injected via vcpu ioctl command
KVM_X86_SET_MCE. Extended machine-check state (MCG_EXT_P) and CMCI are
not implemented.

1ee65e37e9 LSM/SELinux: inode_{get,set,notify}secctx hooks to access LSM security context information.
This patch introduces three new hooks. The inode_getsecctx hook is used to get
all relevant information from an LSM about an inode. The inode_setsecctx is
used to set both the in-core and on-disk state for the inode based on a context
derived from inode_getsecctx.The final hook inode_notifysecctx will notify the
LSM of a change for the in-core state of the inode in question. These hooks are
for use in the labeled NFS code and addresses concerns of how to set security
on an inode in a multi-xattr LSM. For historical reasons Stephen Smalley's
explanation of the reason for these hooks is pasted below.

Quote Stephen Smalley

inode_setsecctx:  Change the security context of an inode.  Updates the
in core security context managed by the security module and invokes the
fs code as needed (via __vfs_setxattr_noperm) to update any backing
xattrs that represent the context.  Example usage:  NFS server invokes
this hook to change the security context in its incore inode and on the
backing file system to a value provided by the client on a SETATTR
operation.

inode_notifysecctx:  Notify the security module of what the security
context of an inode should be.  Initializes the incore security context
managed by the security module for this inode.  Example usage:  NFS
client invokes this hook to initialize the security context in its
incore inode to the value provided by the server for the file when the
server returned the file's attributes to the client.

b1ab7e4b2a VFS: Factor out part of vfs_setxattr so it can be called from the SELinux hook for inode_setsecctx.
This factors out the part of the vfs_setxattr function that performs the
setting of the xattr and its notification. This is needed so the SELinux
implementation of inode_setsecctx can handle the setting of the xattr while
maintaining the proper separation of layers.

28760489a3 PCI: pcie: Ensure hotplug ports have a minimum number of resources
In general a BIOS may goof or we may hotplug in a hotplug controller.
In either case the kernel needs to reserve resources for plugging
in more devices in the future instead of creating a minimal resource
assignment.

We already do this for cardbus bridges I am just adding a variant
for pcie bridges.

v2: Make testing for pcie hotplug bridges based on a flag.

    So far we only set the flag for pcie but a header_quirk
    could easily be added for the non-standard pci hotplug
    bridges.

260d703adc PCI: support for PCI Express fundamental reset
This is the first of three patches that implement a bit field that PCI
Express device drivers can use to indicate they need a fundamental reset
during error recovery.

By default, the EEH framework on powerpc does what's known as a "hot
reset" during recovery of a PCI Express device.  We've found a case
where the device needs a "fundamental reset" to recover properly.  The
current PCI error recovery and EEH frameworks do not support this
distinction.

The attached patch (courtesy of Richard Lary) adds a bit field to
pci_dev that indicates whether the device requires a fundamental reset
during recovery.

These patches supersede the previously submitted patch that implemented
a fundamental reset bit field.

deb2d2ecd4 PCI/GPU: implement VGA arbitration on Linux
Background:
Graphic devices are accessed through ranges in I/O or memory space. While most
modern devices allow relocation of such ranges, some "Legacy" VGA devices
implemented on PCI will typically have the same "hard-decoded" addresses as
they did on ISA. For more details see "PCI Bus Binding to IEEE Std 1275-1994
Standard for Boot (Initialization Configuration) Firmware Revision 2.1"
Section 7, Legacy Devices.

The Resource Access Control (RAC) module inside the X server currently does
the task of arbitration when more than one legacy device co-exists on the same
machine. But the problem happens when these devices are trying to be accessed
by different userspace clients (e.g. two server in parallel). Their address
assignments conflict. Therefore an arbitration scheme _outside_ of the X
server is needed to control the sharing of these resources. This document
introduces the operation of the VGA arbiter implemented for Linux kernel.

3e5cd1f257 dmi: extend dmi_get_year() to dmi_get_date()
There are cases where full date information is required instead of
just the year.  Add month and day parsing to dmi_get_year() and rename
it to dmi_get_date().

As the original function only required '/' followed by any number of
parseable characters at the end of the string, keep that behavior to
avoid upsetting existing users.

The new function takes dates of format [mm[/dd]]/yy[yy].  Year, month
and date are checked to be in the ranges of [1-9999], [1-12] and
[1-31] respectively and any invalid or out-of-range component is
returned as zero.

The dummy implementation is updated accordingly but the return value
is updated to indicate field not found which is consistent with how
other dummy functions behave.

138f4c359d dmaengine, async_tx: add a "no channel switch" allocator
Channel switching is problematic for some dmaengine drivers as the
architecture precludes separating the ->prep from ->submit.  In these
cases the driver can select ASYNC_TX_DISABLE_CHANNEL_SWITCH to modify
the async_tx allocator to only return channels that support all of the
required asynchronous operations.

For example MD_RAID456=y selects support for asynchronous xor, xor
validate, pq, pq validate, and memcpy.  When
ASYNC_TX_DISABLE_CHANNEL_SWITCH=y any channel with all these
capabilities is marked DMA_ASYNC_TX allowing async_tx_find_channel() to
quickly locate compatible channels with the guarantee that dependency
chains will remain on one channel.  When
ASYNC_TX_DISABLE_CHANNEL_SWITCH=n async_tx_find_channel() may select
channels that lead to operation chains that need to cross channel
boundaries using the async_tx channel switch capability.

0403e38277 dmaengine: add fence support
Some engines optimize operation by reading ahead in the descriptor chain
such that descriptor2 may start execution before descriptor1 completes.
If descriptor2 depends on the result from descriptor1 then a fence is
required (on descriptor2) to disable this optimization.  The async_tx
api could implicitly identify dependencies via the 'depend_tx'
parameter, but that would constrain cases where the dependency chain
only specifies a completion order rather than a data dependency.  So,
provide an ASYNC_TX_FENCE to explicitly identify data dependencies.

af356afa01 net_sched: reintroduce dev->qdisc for use by sch_api
Currently the multiqueue integration with the qdisc API suffers from
a few problems:

- with multiple queues, all root qdiscs use the same handle. This means
  they can't be exposed to userspace in a backwards compatible fashion.

- all API operations always refer to queue number 0. Newly created
  qdiscs are automatically shared between all queues, its not possible
  to address individual queues or restore multiqueue behaviour once a
  shared qdisc has been attached.

- Dumps only contain the root qdisc of queue 0, in case of non-shared
  qdiscs this means the statistics are incomplete.

This patch reintroduces dev->qdisc, which points to the (single) root qdisc
from userspace's point of view. Currently it either points to the first
(non-shared) default qdisc, or a qdisc shared between all queues. The
following patches will introduce a classful dummy qdisc, which will be used
as root qdisc and contain the per-queue qdiscs as children.

another task doing PTRACE_ATTACH should not hang until it is killed or the
tracee resumes.

With this patch do_execve() does not use ->cred_guard_mutex directly and
we do not hold it throughout, instead:

	- introduce prepare_bprm_creds() helper, it locks the mutex
	  and calls prepare_exec_creds() to initialize bprm->cred.

	- install_exec_creds() drops the mutex after commit_creds(),
	  and thus before tracehook_report_exec()->ptrace_stop().

	  or, if exec fails,

	  free_bprm() drops this mutex when bprm->cred != NULL which
	  indicates install_exec_creds() was not called.

4e49627b9b workqueues: introduce __cancel_delayed_work()
cancel_delayed_work() has to use del_timer_sync() to guarantee the timer
function is not running after return.  But most users doesn't actually
need this, and del_timer_sync() has problems: it is not useable from
interrupt, and it depends on every lock which could be taken from irq.

Introduce __cancel_delayed_work() which calls del_timer() instead.

The immediate reason for this patch is
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13757
but hopefully this helper makes sense anyway.

As for 13757 bug, actually we need requeue_delayed_work(), but its
semantics are not yet clear.

Merge this patch early to resolves cross-tree interdependencies between
input and infiniband.

85bac32c4a ring-buffer: only enable ring_buffer_swap_cpu when needed
Since the ability to swap the cpu buffers adds a small overhead to
the recording of a trace, we only want to add it when needed.

Only the irqsoff and preemptoff tracers use this feature, and both are
not recommended for production kernels. This patch disables its use
when neither irqsoff nor preemptoff is configured.

e77405ad80 tracing: pass around ring buffer instead of tracer
The latency tracers (irqsoff and wakeup) can swap trace buffers
on the fly. If an event is happening and has reserved data on one of
the buffers, and the latency tracer swaps the global buffer with the
max buffer, the result is that the event may commit the data to the
wrong buffer.

This patch changes the API to the trace recording to be recieve the
buffer that was used to reserve a commit. Then this buffer can be passed
in to the commit.

7ec23d5094 dm log: userspace add luid to distinguish between concurrent log instances
Device-mapper userspace logs (like the clustered log) are
identified by a universally unique identifier (UUID).  This
identifier is used to associate requests from the kernel to
a specific log in userspace.  The UUID must be unique everywhere,
since multiple machines may use this identifier when communicating
about a particular log, as is the case for cluster logs.

Sometimes, device-mapper/LVM may re-use a UUID.  This is the
case during pvmoves, when moving from one segment of an LV
to another, or when resizing a mirror, etc.  In these cases,
a new log is created with the same UUID and loaded in the
"inactive" slot.  When a device-mapper "resume" is issued,
the "live" table is deactivated and the new "inactive" table
becomes "live".  (The "inactive" table can also be removed
via a device-mapper 'clear' command.)

The above two issues were colliding.  More than one log was being
created with the same UUID, and there was no way to distinguish
between them.  So, sometimes the wrong log would be swapped
out during the exchange.

The solution is to create a locally unique identifier,
'luid', to go along with the UUID.  This new identifier is used
to determine exactly which log is being referenced by the kernel
when the log exchange is made.  The identifier is not
universally safe, but it does not need to be, since
create/destroy/suspend/resume operations are bound to a specific
machine; and these are the operations that make up the exchange.

40bea43127 dm stripe: expose correct io hints
Set sensible I/O hints for striped DM devices in the topology
infrastructure added for 2.6.31 for userspace tools to
obtain via sysfs.

Add .io_hints to 'struct target_type' to allow the I/O hints portion
(io_min and io_opt) of the 'struct queue_limits' to be set by each
target and implement this for dm-stripe.

3961f7c3cf power_supply: Add driver for the PMU on WM831x PMICs
The WM831x PMICs provide power path management from three sources:
a wall supply, USB and a battery with integrated charger. They also
provide an additional backup supply with integrated for maintaining
always on functionality such as the RTC and monitoring of power
switches.

After some initial configuration at startup the device operates
autonomously, the driver simply provides reporting of the current
state.

dc892f7339 ring-buffer: remove ring_buffer_event_discard
The function ring_buffer_event_discard can be used on any item in the
ring buffer, even after the item was committed. This function provides
no safety nets and is very race prone.

An item may be safely removed from the ring buffer before it is committed
with the ring_buffer_discard_commit.

Since there are currently no users of this function, and because this
function is racey and error prone, this patch removes it altogether.

Note, removing this function also allows the counters to ignore
all discarded events (patches will follow).
