22aecebfd9 acpi-power-meter: Don't leak ACPI error codes to userspace
If the ACPI methods return an error code, we must return -EINVAL to userspace
to flag the error.  Right now we pass the (positive) number right through,
which causes echo to keep writing bogus values.

52a2b11caf ACPI: clean up video.c boundary checks and types
proc.c and video.c are a bit sloppy around types and style,
confusing gcc for a new feature that'll be in 2.6.33 and will
cause a warning on the current code.

This patch changes

if  (foo + 1 > sizeof bar)

into

if (foo >= sizeof(bar))

which is more kernel-style.

it also changes a variable in proc.c to unsigned; it gets assigned
a value from an unsigned type, and is then only compared for > not
for negative, so using unsigned is just outright the right type

21279cfa10 KEYS: get_instantiation_keyring() should inc the keyring refcount in all cases
The destination keyring specified to request_key() and co. is made available to
the process that instantiates the key (the slave process started by
/sbin/request-key typically).  This is passed in the request_key_auth struct as
the dest_keyring member.

keyctl_instantiate_key and keyctl_negate_key() call get_instantiation_keyring()
to get the keyring to attach the newly constructed key to at the end of
instantiation.  This may be given a specific keyring into which a link will be
made later, or it may be asked to find the keyring passed to request_key().  In
the former case, it returns a keyring with the refcount incremented by
lookup_user_key(); in the latter case, it returns the keyring from the
request_key_auth struct - and does _not_ increment the refcount.

The latter case will eventually result in an oops when the keyring prematurely
runs out of references and gets destroyed.  The effect may take some time to
show up as the key is destroyed lazily.

To fix this, the keyring returned by get_instantiation_keyring() must always
have its refcount incremented, no matter where it comes from.

This can be tested by setting /etc/request-key.conf to:

#OP	TYPE	DESCRIPTION	CALLOUT INFO	PROGRAM ARG1 ARG2 ARG3 ...
#======	=======	===============	===============	===============================
create  *	test:*		*		|/bin/false %u %g %d %{user:_display}
negate	*	*		*		/bin/keyctl negate %k 10 @u

and then doing:

	keyctl add user _display aaaaaaaa @u
        while keyctl request2 user test:x test:x @u &&
        keyctl list @u;
        do
                keyctl request2 user test:x test:x @u;
                sleep 31;
                keyctl list @u;
        done

which will oops eventually.  Changing the negate line to have @u rather than
%S at the end is important as that forces the latter case by passing a special
keyring ID rather than an actual keyring ID.

This was broken by commit e9216651.

The compat_unimap_ioctl was originally called do_unimap_ioctl in

In that patch, the caller was not updated and consequently called

a0219fbdac OMAP: Fix race condition with autodeps
There is a possible race condition in clockdomain
code handling hw supported idle transitions.

When multiple autodeps dependencies are being added
or removed, a transition of still remaining dependent
powerdomain can result in false readings of the
state counter. This is especially fatal for off mode
state counter, as it could result in a driver not
noticing a context loss.

Fixed by disabling hw supported state transitions
when autodeps are being changed.

83db93f4de sysfs: Allow sysfs_notify_dirent to be called from interrupt context.
sysfs_notify_dirent is a simple atomic operation that can be used to
alert user-space that new data can be read from a sysfs attribute.

Unfortunately it cannot currently be called from non-process context
because of its use of spin_lock which is sometimes taken with
interrupts enabled.

So change all lockers of sysfs_open_dirent_lock to disable interrupts,
thus making sysfs_notify_dirent safe to be called from non-process
context (as drivers/md does in md_safemode_timeout).

sysfs_get_open_dirent is (documented as being) only called from
process context, so it uses spin_lock_irq.  Other places
use spin_lock_irqsave.

The usage for sysfs_notify_dirent in md_safemode_timeout was
introduced in 2.6.28, so this patch is suitable for that and more
recent kernels.

a6a8357788 sysfs: Allow sysfs_move_dir(..., NULL) again.
As device_move() and kobject_move() both handle a NULL destination,
sysfs_move_dir() should do this as well (again) and fall back to
sysfs_root in that case.

97ad5a034d tty: use the new 'flush_delayed_work()' helper to do ldisc flush
This way all flush_to_ldisc work is always done through the workqueues,
and we thus have a single point of serialization.  It also means that we
can avoid calling flush_to_ldisc() entirely if there was no delayed work
pending.

[ Side note: using workqueues and keventd as the single way to enter
  flush_to_ldisc() still doesn't absolutely guarantee that we can't have
  concurrency: keventd is multithreaded and has a thread per CPU, and
  while the WORK_STRUCT_PENDING bit guarantees a single work only being
  on the pending list once, the work might be both pending and _running_
  at the same time. Workqueues are not simple. ]

This was also confirmed to fix bugzilla #14388, even without the earlier
locking fix and cleanup (commit c8e331419: "tty: Make flush_to_ldisc()
locking more robust").  So both commits fix the same bug differently,
and either would have worked on its own.  But I'm committing them both
since they are cleanups independent of each other.

8c53e46314 workqueue: add 'flush_delayed_work()' to run and wait for delayed work
It basically turns a delayed work into an immediate work, and then waits
for it to finish, thus allowing you to force (and wait for) an immediate
flush of a delayed work.

We'll want to use this in the tty layer to clean up tty_flush_to_ldisc().

37ccd92f55 net/fec_mpc52xx: Fix kernel panic on FEC error
The MDIO bus cannot be accessed at interrupt context, but on an FEC
error, the fec_mpc52xx driver reset function also tries to reset the
PHY.  Since the error is detected at IRQ context, and the PHY functions
try to sleep, the kernel ends up panicking.

Resetting the PHY on an FEC error isn't even necessary.  This patch
solves the problem by removing the PHY reset entirely.

c8e3314191 tty: Make flush_to_ldisc() locking more robust
The locking logic in this function is extremely subtle, and it broke
when we started doing potentially concurrent 'flush_to_ldisc()' calls in
commit e043e42bdb ("pty: avoid forcing
'low_latency' tty flag").

The code in flush_to_ldisc() used to set 'tty->buf.head' to NULL, with
the intention that this would then cause any other concurrent calls to
not do anything (locking note: we have to drop the buf.lock over the
call to ->receive_buf that can block, which is why we can have
concurrency here at all in the first place).

It also used to set the TTY_FLUSHING bit, which would then cause any
concurrent 'tty_buffer_flush()' to not free all the tty buffers and
clear 'tty->buf.tail'.  And with 'buf.head' being NULL, and 'buf.tail'
being non-NULL, new data would never touch 'buf.head'.

Does that sound a bit too subtle? It was.  If another concurrent call to
'flush_to_ldisc()' were to come in, the NULL buf.head would indeed cause
it to not process the buffer list, but it would still clear TTY_FLUSHING
afterwards, making the buffer protection against 'tty_buffer_flush()' no
longer work.

So this clears it all up.  We depend purely on TTY_FLUSHING for handling
re-entrancy, and stop playing games with the buffer list entirely.  In
fact, the buffer list handling is now robust enough that we could
probably stop doing the whole "protect against 'tty_buffer_flush()'"
thing entirely.

However, Alan also points out that we would probably be better off
simplifying the locking even further, and just take the tty ldisc_mutex
around all the buffer flushing calls.  That seems like a good idea, but
in the meantime this is a conceptually minimal fix (with the patch
itself being bigger than required just to clean the code up and make it
readable).

This fixes keyboard trouble under X:
