Add a TUNGETIFF interface so that userspace can query a
tun/tap descriptor for its name and flags.
This is needed because it is common for one app to create
a tap interface, exec another app and pass it the file
descriptor for the interface. Without TUNGETIFF the spawned
app has no way of detecting wheter the interface has e.g.
IFF_VNET_HDR set.

Now that the network stack can handle inbound packets with partial
checksums, we should no longer clobber the ip_summed field in the
loopback driver. This is because CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY implies that
the checksum field is actually valid which is not true for loopback
packets since it's only partial (and thus complemented).
This allows packets from lo to then be SNATed to an external source
while still preserving the checksum's validity.

skb_gso_segment didn't preserve some attributes in the original skb
such as the netfilter fields. This was harmless until they were used
which is the case for packets going through lo.
This patch makes it call __copy_skb_header which also picks up some
other missing attributes.

This patch enables TSO since the loopback device is naturally
capable of handling packets of any size. This also means that
we won't enable GSO on lo which is good until GSO is fixed to
preserve netfilter state as netfilter treats loopback packets
in a special way.

Ethtool stats are 64-bits in length. net_device_stats members are
unsigned long types. When gathering information for
a get_ethtool_stats call, the driver will call a driver-private,
inlined get_stat64() function, which returns an unsigned long value.
This call will inadvertently mask off the upper 32-bits of a stat on
32-bit machines.
This patch defines a new get_estat() inline function and modifies the
ESTAT_ADD() macro to use it.

The git commit 7c5026aa9b81dd45df8d3f4e0be73e485976a8b6 ("tg3: Add
link state reporting to UMP firmware") introduced code that waits for
previous firmware events to be serviced before attempting to submit a
new event. Unfortunately that patch contained a bug that cause the
driver to wait 2.5 seconds, rather than 2.5 milliseconds as intended.
This patch fixes that bug.
This bug revealed that not all firmware versions service driver events
though. Since we do not know which versions of the firmware do and don't
service these events, the driver needs some way to minimize the effects
of the delay. This patch solves the problem by recording a jiffies
timestamp when it submits an event to the hardware. If the jiffies
counter shows that 2.5 milliseconds have already passed, a wait is not
needed and the driver can proceed to submit a new event.

If the driver resets the chip while the APE is performing a register
access, that register access will never complete and the APE will hang
indefinitely. To prevent this race condition, the driver must acquire
an APE mutex before resetting the chip. The APE will not attempt a
register access until it acquires this lock.

Let me first state that disabling the route cache hash rebuild
should not be done without extensive analysis on the risk profile
and careful deliberation.
However, there are times when this can be done safely or for
testing. For example, when you have mechanisms for ensuring
that offending parties do not exist in your network.
This patch lets the user disable the rebuild if the interval is
set to zero. This also incidentally fixes a divide-by-zero error
with name-spaces.
In addition, this patch makes the effect of an interval change
immediate rather than it taking effect at the next rebuild as
is currently the case.

poll_idle was added to CPUIDLE, just as a low latency idle handler, to be
used in cases when user desires CPUs not to enter any idle state at all. It
was supposed to be a run time idle=poll option to the user. But, it was indeed
getting used during normal menu and ladder governor default case, with no
special user setting (Reported by Linus Torvalds).
Change below ensures that poll_idle will not be used unless user explicitly
asks pm_qos infrastructure for zero latency requirement.

Pardo reported that 64-bit threaded apps, if their stacks exceed the

glibc uses MAP_32BIT to allocate the stacks. The use of MAP_32BIT is
a legacy hack - to speed up context switching on certain early model
64-bit P4 CPUs.
So introduce a new flag to be used by glibc instead, to not constrain
64-bit apps like this.
glibc can switch to this new flag straight away - it will be ignored
by the kernel. If those old CPUs ever matter to anyone, support for
it can be implemented.

WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x17a3e): Section mismatch in reference from the function set_pte_vaddr_pud() to the function .init.text:spp_getpage()
The function set_pte_vaddr_pud() references
the function __init spp_getpage().
This is often because set_pte_vaddr_pud lacks a __init
annotation or the annotation of spp_getpage is wrong.
spp_getpage is called from __init (__init_extra_mapping) and
non __init (set_pte_vaddr_pud) functions, so it can't be __init.
Unfortunately it calls alloc_bootmem_pages which is __init,
but does it only when bootmem allocator is available (after_bootmem == 0).
So annotate it accordingly.

Jean Delvare's machine triggered this BUG
acpi_os_map_memory phys ffff0000 size 65535
------------[ cut here ]------------
kernel BUG at arch/x86/mm/pat.c:233!
with ACPI in the backtrace.
Adding some debugging output showed that ACPI calls
acpi_os_map_memory phys ffff0000 size 65535
And ioremap/PAT does this check in 32bit, so addr+size wraps and the BUG
in reserve_memtype() triggers incorrectly.
BUG_ON(start >= end); /* end is exclusive */
But reserve_memtype already uses u64:
int reserve_memtype(u64 start, u64 end,
so the 32bit truncation must happen in the caller. Presumably in ioremap
when it passes this information to reserve_memtype().
This patch does this computation in 64bit.

Testing with a modified fsfuzzer reveals a couple of locations in omfs
where filesystem variables are ultimately used as loop counters with
insufficient sanity checking. In this case, dir->i_size is used to
compute the number of buckets in the directory hash. If too large,
readdir will overrun a buffer.
Since it's an invariant that dir->i_size is equal to the sysblock
size, and we already sanity check that, just use that value instead.

When reviewing a recent patch I noticed a potential trouble spot in the
registration of new SPI devices. The SPI master driver is told to set
the device up before adding it to the driver model, so that it's always
properly set up when probe() is called. (This is important, because in
the case of inverted chipselects, this device can make the bus misbehave
until it's properly deselected. It's got to be set up even if no driver
binds to the device.)
The trouble spot is that it doesn't first verify that no other device
has been added using that chipselect. If such a device has been added,
its configuration gets trashed. (Fortunately this has not been a common
error!)
The fix here adds an explicit check, and a mutex to protect the relevant
critical region.

write_cache_pages() uses i_mapping->writeback_index to pick up where it
left off the last time a given inode was found by pdflush or
balance_dirty_pages (or anyone else who sets wbc->range_cyclic)
alloc_inode() should set it to a sane value so that writeback doesn't
start in the middle of a file. It is somewhat difficult to notice the bug
since write_cache_pages will loop around to the start of the file and the
elevator helps hide the resulting seeks.
For whatever reason, Btrfs hits this often. Unpatched, untarring 30
copies of the linux kernel in series runs at 47MB/s on a single sata

Currently, all sensors are read when the energy meter is queried via
sysfs. This introduces a considerable amount of delay and variation in
the sysfs reading, which is not desirable when trying to profile energy
use. Therefore, read only the energy meters when a sysfs query comes in
for them, and don't cache the results so that we always get the latest
reading.
