For the DSMs where the kernel knows the format of the output buffer and
originates those DSMs from within the kernel, return -EIO for any
non-zero status. If the BIOS is indicating a status that we do not know
how to handle, fail the DSM.

This patch fixes a NULL pointer dereference caused by a race codition in
the probe function of the legousbtower driver. It re-structures the
probe function to only register the interface after successfully reading
the board's firmware ID.
The probe function does not deregister the usb interface after an error
receiving the devices firmware ID. The device file registered
(/dev/usb/legousbtower%d) may be read/written globally before the probe
function returns. When tower_delete is called in the probe function
(after an r/w has been initiated), core dev structures are deleted while
the file operation functions are still running. If the 0 address is
mappable on the machine, this vulnerability can be used to create a
Local Priviege Escalation exploit via a write-what-where condition by
remapping dev->interrupt_out_buffer in tower_write. A forged USB device
and local program execution would be required for LPE. The USB device
would have to delay the control message in tower_probe and accept
the control urb in tower_open whilst guest code initiated a write to the
device file as tower_delete is called from the error in tower_probe.
This bug has existed since 2003. Patch tested by emulated device.

the eg20t driver call request_irq() function before the pch_base_address,
base address of i2c controller's register, is assigned an effective value.
there is one possible scenario that an interrupt which isn't inside eg20t
arrives immediately after request_irq() is executed when i2c controller
shares an interrupt number with others. since the interrupt handler
pch_i2c_handler() has already active as shared action, it will be called
and read its own register to determine if this interrupt is from itself.
At that moment, since base address of i2c registers is not remapped
in kernel space yet,so the INT handler will access an illegal address
and then a error occurs.

The page structures associated with the vDSO pages in the kernel image
are calculated using virt_to_page(), which uses __pa() under the hood to
find the pfn associated with the virtual address. The vDSO data pointers
however point to kernel symbols, so __pa_symbol() should really be used
instead.
Since there is no equivalent to virt_to_page() which uses __pa_symbol(),
fix init_vdso_image() to work directly with pfns, calculated with
__phys_to_pfn(__pa_symbol(...)).
This issue broke the Malta Enhanced Virtual Addressing (EVA)
configuration which has a non-default implementation of __pa_symbol().
This is because it uses a physical alias so that the kernel executes
from KSeg0 (VA 0x80000000 -> PA 0x00000000), while RAM is provided to
the kernel in the KUSeg range (VA 0x00000000 -> PA 0x80000000) which
uses the same underlying RAM.
Since there are no page structures associated with the low physical
address region, some arbitrary kernel memory would be interpreted as a
page structure for the vDSO pages and badness ensues.

The maximum size of e820 map array for EFI systems is defined as
E820_X_MAX (E820MAX + 3 * MAX_NUMNODES).
In x86_64 defconfig, this ends up with E820_X_MAX = 320, e820 and e820_saved
are 6404 bytes each.
With larger configs, for example Fedora kernels, E820_X_MAX = 3200, e820
and e820_saved are 64004 bytes each. Most of this space is wasted.
Typical machines have some 20-30 e820 areas at most.
After previous patch, e820 and e820_saved are pointers to e280 maps.
Change them to initially point to maps which are __initdata.
At the very end of kernel init, just before __init[data] sections are freed
in free_initmem(), allocate smaller blocks, copy maps there,
and change pointers.
The late switch makes sure that all functions which can be used to change
e820 maps are no longer accessible (they are all __init functions).
Run-tested.

The STM32 external interrupt controller consists of edge detectors that
generate interrupts requests or wake-up events.
Each line can be independently configured as interrupt or wake-up source,
and triggers either on rising, falling or both edges. Each line can also
be masked independently.

This patch introduces an accessor which can be used
by the users of debugfs (drivers, fs, ...) to get the
original file_operations struct. It also removes the
REAL_FOPS_DEREF macro in file.c and converts the code
to use the public version.
Previously, REAL_FOPS_DEREF was only available within
the file.c of debugfs. But having a public getter
available for debugfs users is important as some
drivers (carl9170 and b43) use the pointer of the
original file_operations in conjunction with container_of()
within their debugfs implementations.

Since commit 1625f4529957, vti6 is broken, all input packets are dropped
(LINUX_MIB_XFRMINNOSTATES is incremented).
XFRM_TUNNEL_SKB_CB(skb)->tunnel.ip6 is set by vti6_rcv() before calling
xfrm6_rcv()/xfrm6_rcv_spi(), thus we cannot set to NULL that value in
xfrm6_rcv_spi().
A new function xfrm6_rcv_tnl() that enables to pass a value to
xfrm6_rcv_spi() is added, so that xfrm6_rcv() is not touched (this function
is used in several handlers).

When I introduced the lastuse member I made a subtle error because it was
returned as an absolute value but that is meaningless to user-space as it
doesn't allow to see how old exactly an entry is. Let's make it similar to
how the bridge returns such values and make it relative to "now" (jiffies).
This allows us to show the actual age of the entries and is much more
useful (e.g. user-space daemons can age out entries, iproute2 can display
the lastuse properly).

Commit 5958d19a143e checks for prefetchable m64 BARs by comparing the
addresses instead of using resource flags. This broke SR-IOV as the m64
check in pnv_pci_ioda_fixup_iov_resources() fails.
The condition in pnv_pci_window_alignment() also changed to checking
only IORESOURCE_MEM_64 instead of both IORESOURCE_MEM_64 and
IORESOURCE_PREFETCH.
Revert these cases to the previous behaviour, adding a new helper function
to do so. This is named pnv_pci_is_m64_flags() to make it clear this
function is only looking at resource flags and should not be relied on for
non-SRIOV resources.

Background/Reasoning:
Books:
------
* Linux Kernel Networking by Rami Rosen
While some parts are quite short and could be
more carefully explained it's still a good recomendation
for understanding linux kernel networking, (IMHO)
* Linux Treiber entwickeln:
It sure is a drawback that this is a german book.
But it's quite recent, well structured and there are also
other non-english (spanish) books/papers in this list.
Papers:
-------
* On Submitting kernel Patches
Contains 2 case studies of bigger patch sets and how (or how not)
they were merged. I found it helpful
* Tracing the Way of Data in a TCP Connection through the Linux Kernel
Since this was written by me this inclusion may be a bit biased :p
Neitherless I think this gives a good introduction on
understanding/exploring linux internals using ftrace and an overview
of Linux TCP internals.

Mauro's patch set introduced some bare :: lines; these can be represented
by a double colon at the end of the preceding text line. The result looks
a little less weird and is less verbose.

- use ``foo`` to markup inline literal stuff, effectively making it
to be presented as a monospaced font when parsed by Sphinx;
- the markup below the title should have the same length as the
title;
- Fix the list markups, from "1:" to "1)";
- Split item 2 into a separate list for the build options, in order
to be presented as a list on Sphinx;
