Export handle_edge_irq() and irq_to_desc() to modules to allow them to
do things such as
__irq_set_handler_locked(...., handle_edge_irq);
This fixes
ERROR: "handle_edge_irq" [drivers/gpio/gpio-pch.ko] undefined!
ERROR: "irq_to_desc" [drivers/gpio/gpio-pch.ko] undefined!
when gpio-pch is being built as a module.
This was introduced by commit df9541a60af0 ("gpio: pch9: Use proper flow
type handlers") that added
__irq_set_handler_locked(d->irq, handle_edge_irq);
but handle_edge_irq() was not exported for modules (and inlined
__irq_set_handler_locked() requires irq_to_desc() exported as well)

C6x userspace supports a shared library mechanism called DSBT for systems with
no MMU. DSBT is similar to FDPIC in allowing shared text segments and private
copies of data segments without an MMU. Both methods access data using a base
register and offset. With FDPIC, the caller of an external function sets up the
base register for the callee. With DSBT, the called function sets up its own
base register. Other details differ but both userspaces need the same thing
from the kernel loader: a map of where each ELF segment was loaded. The FDPIC
loader already provides this, so DSBT just uses it.
This patch enables BINFMT_ELF_FDPIC by default for C6X and provides the
necessary architecture hooks for the generic loader.

BIOS on some HP laptops don't set the speaker-pins as fixed but expose
as jacks, and this confuses the driver as if these pins are
jack-detectable. As a result, the machine doesn't get sounds from
speakers because the driver prepares the power-map update via jack
unsol events which never come up in reality. The bug was introduced
in some time in 3.2 for enabling the power-mapping feature.
This patch fixes the problem by replacing the check of the persistent
power-map bits with a proper is_jack_detectable() call.

This patch addresses a bug in a special case for target core SPC-2 RELEASE
logic where the same physical client (eg: iSCSI InitiatorName) with
differing iSCSI session identifiers (ISID) is allowed to incorrectly release
the same client's SPC-2 reservation from the non reservation holding path.
Note this bug is specific to iscsi-target w/ SPC-2 reservations, and
with the default enforce_pr_isids=1 device attr setting in target-core
controls if a InitiatorName + different ISID reservations are handled
the same as a single iSCSI client entity.

Section 15.3.1.2 of the software developer manual has this to say about the
RIPV bit in the IA32_MCG_STATUS register:
RIPV (restart IP valid) flag, bit 0 — Indicates (when set) that program
execution can be restarted reliably at the instruction pointed to by the
instruction pointer pushed on the stack when the machine-check exception
is generated. When clear, the program cannot be reliably restarted at
the pushed instruction pointer.
We need to save the state of this bit in do_machine_check() and use it
in mce_notify_process() to force a signal; even if memory_failure() says
it made a complete recovery ... e.g. replaced a clean LRU page.

Under most circumstances, the bitmap allocator does not allocate the
same full 24-bit QP number immediately after a QP is destroyed.
This works by using the upper bits of a 24-bit QP number, beyond the
number of QPs that are actually available in the low level driver.
For example, say that the HCA is willing to allocate a maximum of 64K
qps. We use the bits 23..16 as a "counter" which is incremented by 1
at each allocation so that even if the same physical QP is
re-allocated, it will not receive the same 24-bit QP number.
However, we have seen the following scenario:
1. Allocate, say, 255 QPs in succession. This will cause a wrap of the "counter".
2. Destroy the first QP allocated, then allocate a new QP. The new QP,
because of the counter wraparound, will get the same FULL QP number as
the QP just destroyed!
This is a problem because packets in transit can be erroneously
delivered to the new QP when they were meant for the old (destroyed)
QP, because the full QP number of the new QP is identical to the
destroyed QP. (The "counter" mechanism is meant to prevent this by
having the full 24-bit QP numbers differ even if the physical QP on
the HCA is the same. As we see above, however, this mechanism does
not always work).
The best fix for this problem is to allocate QPs in round-robin mode,
so that the physical QP numbers are not immediately re-used.

If a MAD is sent directly to the local HCA rather than placed on a QP
and the MAD fails M_Key checks, there is no means to generate a
timeout for the client, which may hang. Instead we report
IB_MAD_RESULT_FAILURE, which operates the same for on-the-wire
packets, but will generate a send failure back to the client.

If a port has an M_Key lease set, the M_Key protect bits set to 1, and
a SubnSet arrives with an invalid M_Key, an M_Key mismatch trap is
generated, the lease timer begins as expected, and eventually the
M_Key protect bits will be set back to 0 as per the spec. However, if
any other SMP with an invalid M_Key arrives, the lease timer is expired
and the M_Key protect bits remain in force.
This is not according to to spec. In particular, C14-17 says that
a lease timer that is underway is not affected by protection level
checks (ie, at protection level 1, a SubnGet with a bad M_Key may be
successful, but does not stop the timer), and C14-19 says that the timer
shall stop when a valid M_Key has been received. C14-19 is the only
compliance statement that specifies a stopping condition for the timer.
This behavior is magnified if the port's Master SM LID attribute
points at itself. In that case, the M_Key mismatch trap is sufficient to
expire the timer, and the mkey lease attribute is rendered useless.

When a port first goes active with SMA Set(PortInfo) and reregister
bit set, the driver sends up the reregister event followed by a port
active event.
The problem is that in response to reregister event most apps try to
issue a SA query of some sort, but that fails because port is not
active.
The qib driver needs to a trivial change to correct this behavior.
This issue has been there for a while; however the recent serdes work
has probably made the delay between the reregister event and the
active event larger and hence opened the race far enough so that its
being seen more often.
The patch also changes the clientrereg local to a u8 and saves off the
rereg bit into it. The code following the nested subn_get_portinfo()
now restores that bit per o14-12.2.1 with a logical OR from that copy.

This patch optimizes pio buffer allocation in the kernel.
For qib, kernel pio buffers are used for sending acks. The code to
allocate the buffer would always start at 0 until it found a buffer.
This means that an average of 64 comparisions were done on each
allocate, since the busy bit won't be cleared until the bits are
refreshed when buffers are exhausted.
This patch adds two new fields in the devdata struct, last_pio and
min_kernel_pio. last_pio is the last buffer that was allocated.
min_kernel_pio is the lowest potential available buffer.
min_kernel_pio is modifed as contexts are allocated and deallocted.

It enables the userspace a security level change when the socket is
already connected and create a way to notify the socket the result of the

the request fails the connections closes, otherwise the socket is made
writable again, POLL_OUT is emmited.
