2012-07-14namei.c: let follow_link() do put_link() on failureAl Viro
no need for kludgy "set cookie to ERR_PTR(...) because we failed before we did actual ->follow_link() and want to suppress put_link()", no pointless check in put_link() itself. Callers checked if follow_link() has failed anyway; might as well break out of their loops if that happened, without bothering to call put_link() first.

2012-07-14affs: get rid of affs_sync_superArtem Bityutskiy
This patch makes affs stop using the VFS '->write_super()' method along with the 's_dirt' superblock flag, because they are on their way out. The whole "superblock write-out" VFS infrastructure is served by the 'sync_supers()' kernel thread, which wakes up every 5 (by default) seconds and writes out all dirty superblocks using the '->write_super()' call-back. But the problem with this thread is that it wastes power by waking up the system every 5 seconds, even if there are no diry superblocks, or there are no client file-systems which would need this (e.g., btrfs does not use '->write_super()'). So we want to kill it completely and thus, we need to make file-systems to stop using the '->write_super()' VFS service, and then remove it together with the kernel thread.

2012-07-14affs: re-structure superblock locking a bitArtem Bityutskiy

2012-07-14affs: remove useless superblock writeout on remountArtem Bityutskiy

2012-07-14affs: stop setting bm_flagsArtem Bityutskiy
AFFS stores values '1' and '2' in 'bm_flags', and I fail to see any logic when it prefers one or another. AFFS writes '1' only from '->put_super()', while '->sync_fs()' and '->write_super()' store value '2'. So on the first glance, it looks like we want to have '1' if we unmount. However, this does not really happen in these cases: 1. superblock is written via 'write_super()' then we unmount; 2. we re-mount R/O, then unmount. which are quite typical. I could not find good documentation describing this field, except of one random piece of documentation in the internet which says that -1 means that the root block is valid, which is not consistent with what we have in the Linux AFFS driver. Jan Kara commented on this: "I have some vague recollection that on Amiga boolean was usually encoded as: 0 == false, ~0 == -1 == true. But it has been ages..." Thus, my conclusion is that value of '1' is as good as value of '2' and we can just always use '2'. An Jan Kara suggested to go further: "generally bm_flags handling looks strange. If they are 0, we mount fs read only and thus cannot change them. If they are != 0, we write 2 there. So IMHO if you just removed bm_flags setting, nothing will really happen." So this patch removes the bm_flags setting completely. This makes the "clean" argument of the 'affs_commit_super()' function unneeded, so it is also removed.

Occasionally, the PHY can be initially inaccessible when the first read of a PHY register, e.g. PHY_ID1, happens (signified by the returned value 0xFFFF) but subsequent accesses of the PHY work as expected. Add a retry counter similar to how it is done in the generic e1000_get_phy_id(). Also, when the PHY is completely inaccessible (i.e. when subsequent reads of the PHY_IDx registers returns all F's) and the MDIO access mode must be set to slow before attempting to read the PHY ID again, the functions that do these latter two actions expect the SW/FW/HW semaphore is not already set so the semaphore must be released before and re-acquired after calling them otherwise there is an unnecessarily inordinate amount of delay during device initialization.

The bcma bus got a lot of attention from Hauke Mehrtens. The cfg80211 component gets a flurry of patches for multi-channel support, and the mac80211 component gets the first few VHT (11ac) and 60GHz (11ad) patches. This also includes the removal of the iwmc3200 drivers, since the hardware never became available to normal people. Additionally, the NFC subsystem gets a series of updates. According to Samuel, "Here are the interesting bits: - A better error management for the HCI stack. - An LLCP "late" binding implementation for a better NFC SAP usage. SAPs are now reserved only when there's a client for it. - Support for Sony RC-S360 (a.k.a. PaSoRi) pn533 based dongle.

2012-07-13tipc: remove print_buf and deprecated log buffer codeErik Hugne
The internal log buffer handling functions can now safely be removed since there is no code using it anymore. Requests to interact with the internal tipc log buffer over netlink (in config.c) will report 'obsolete command'. This represents the final removal of any references to a struct print_buf, and the removal of the struct itself. We also get rid of a TIPC specific Kconfig in the process. Finally, log.h is removed since it is not needed anymore.

2012-07-13tipc: phase out most of the struct print_buf usageErik Hugne
The tipc_printf is renamed to tipc_snprintf, as the new name describes more what the function actually does. It is also changed to take a buffer and length parameter and return number of characters written to the buffer. All callers of this function that used to pass a print_buf are updated. Final removal of the struct print_buf itself will be done synchronously with the pending removal of the deprecated logging code that also was using it. Functions that build up a response message with a list of ports, nametable contents etc. are changed to return the number of characters written to the output buffer. This information was previously hidden in a field of the print_buf struct, and the number of chars written was fetched with a call to tipc_printbuf_validate. This function is removed since it is no longer referenced nor needed. A generic max size ULTRA_STRING_MAX_LEN is defined, named in keeping with the existing TIPC_TLV_ULTRA_STRING, and the various definitions in port, link and nametable code that largely duplicated this information are removed. This means that amount of link statistics that can be returned is now increased from 2k to 32k. The buffer overflow check is now done just before the reply message is passed over netlink or TIPC to a remote node and the message indicating a truncated buffer is changed to a less dramatic one (less CAPS), placed at the end of the message.

2012-07-13tipc: simplify print buffer handling in tipc_printfErik Hugne
tipc_printf was previously used both to construct debug traces and to append data to buffers that should be sent over netlink to the tipc-config application. A global print_buffer was used to format the string before it was copied to the actual output buffer. This could lead to concurrent access of the global print_buffer, which then had to be lock protected. This is simplified by changing tipc_printf to append data directly to the output buffer using vscnprintf. With the new implementation of tipc_printf, there is no longer any risk of concurrent access to the internal log buffer, so the lock (and the comments describing it) are no longer strictly necessary. However, there are still a few functions that do grab this lock before resizing/dumping the log buffer. We leave the lock, and these functions untouched since they will be removed with a subsequent commit that drops the deprecated log buffer handling code Signed-off-by: Erik Hugne <erik.hugne@ericsson.com> Signed-off-by: Jon Maloy <jon.maloy@ericsson.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com>

This patch removes empty rules (i.e. with access set to '-') from the rule list presented to user space. Smack by design never removes labels nor rules from its lists. Access for a rule may be set to '-' to effectively disable it. Such rules would show up in the listing generated when /smack/load or /smack/load2 is read.

2012-07-13x86/vsyscall: allow seccomp filter in vsyscall=emulateWill Drewry
If a seccomp filter program is installed, older static binaries and distributions with older libc implementations (glibc 2.13 and earlier) that rely on vsyscall use will be terminated regardless of the filter program policy when executing time, gettimeofday, or getcpu. This is only the case when vsyscall emulation is in use (vsyscall=emulate is the default). This patch emulates system call entry inside a vsyscall=emulate by populating regs->ax and regs->orig_ax with the system call number prior to calling into seccomp such that all seccomp-dependencies function normally. Additionally, system call return behavior is emulated in line with other vsyscall entrypoints for the trace/trap cases.
