Pull MIPS fixes from Ralf Baechle: "Random fixes across the MIPS tree. The two hotspots are several bugs in the module loader and the ath79 SOC support; also noteworthy is the restructuring of the code to synchronize CPU timers across CPUs on startup; the old code recently ceased to work due to unrelated changes.

2012-08-25ARM: 7499/1: mm: Fix vmalloc overlap check for !HIGHMEMJonathan Austin
With !HIGHMEM, sanity_check_meminfo checks for banks that completely or partially overlap the vmalloc region. The test for partial overlap checks __va(bank->start + bank->size) > vmalloc_min. This is not appropriate if there is a non-linear translation between virtual and physical addresses, as bank->start + bank->size is actually in the bank following the one being interrogated. In most cases, even when using SPARSEMEM, this is not problematic as the subsequent bank will start at a higher va than the one in question. However if the physical to virtual address conversion is not monotonic increasing, the incorrect test could result in a bank not being truncated when it should be. This patch ensures we perform the va-pa conversion on memory from the bank we are interested in, not the following one. Reported-by: ???

2012-08-25ARM: 7501/1: decompressor: reset ttbcr for VMSA ARMv7 coresWill Deacon
When enabling the MMU for ARMv7 CPUs, the decompressor does not touch the ttbcr register, assuming that it will be zeroed (N == 0, EAE == 0). Given that only EAE is defined as 0 for non-secure copies of the register (and a bootloader such as kexec may leave it set to 1 anyway), we should ensure that we reset the register ourselves before turning on the MMU. This patch zeroes TTBCR.EAE and TTBCR.N prior to enabling the MMU for ARMv7 cores in the decompressor, configuring us exclusively for 32-bit translation tables via TTBR0.

2012-08-25ARM: 7496/1: hw_breakpoint: don't rely on dfsr to show watchpoint access typeWill Deacon
From ARM debug architecture v7.1 onwards, a watchpoint exception causes the DFAR to be updated with the faulting data address. However, DFSR.WnR takes an UNKNOWN value and therefore cannot be used in general to determine the access type that triggered the watchpoint. This patch forbids watchpoints without an overflow handler from specifying a specific access type (load/store). Those with overflow handlers must be able to handle false positives potentially triggered by a watchpoint of a different access type on the same address. For SIGTRAP-based handlers (i.e. ptrace), this should have no impact.

2012-08-24sfc: Fix reset vs probe/remove/PM races involving efx_nic::stateBen Hutchings
We try to defer resets while the device is not READY, but we're not doing this quite correctly. In particular, changes to efx_nic::state are documented as serialised by the RTNL lock, but they aren't. 1. We check whether a reset was requested during probe (suggesting broken hardware) before we allow requested resets to be scheduled. This leaves a window where a requested reset would be deferred indefinitely. 2. Although we cancel the reset work item during device removal, there are still later operations that can cause it to be scheduled again. We need to check the state before scheduling it. 3. Since the state can change between scheduling and running of the work item, we still need to check it there, and we need to do so *after* acquiring the RTNL lock which serialises state changes. 4. We must cancel the reset work item during device removal, if the state could ever have been READY. This wasn't done in some of the failure paths from efx_pci_probe(). Move the cancellation to efx_pci_remove_main(). Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com>

2012-08-24sfc: Never try to stop and start a NIC that is disabledBen Hutchings
efx_change_mtu() and efx_realloc_channels() each stop and start much of the NIC, even if it has been disabled. Since efx_start_all() is a no-op when the NIC is disabled, this is probably harmless in the case of efx_change_mtu(), but efx_realloc_channels() also reenables interrupts which could be a bad thing to do. Change efx_start_all() and efx_start_interrupts() to assert that the NIC is not disabled, but make efx_stop_interrupts() do nothing if the NIC is disabled (since it is already stopped), consistent with efx_stop_all(). Update comments for efx_start_all() and efx_stop_all() to describe their purpose and preconditions more accurately. Add a common function to check and log if the NIC is disabled, and use it in efx_net_open(), efx_change_mtu() and efx_realloc_channels(). Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com>

2012-08-24sfc: Replace tso_state::full_packet_space with ip_base_lenBen Hutchings
We only use tso_state::full_packet_space to calculate the IPv4 tot_len or IPv6 payload_len, not to set tso_state::packet_space.

2012-08-24sfc: Simplify TSO header buffer allocationBen Hutchings
TSO header buffers contain a control structure immediately followed by the packet headers, and are kept on a free list when not in use. This complicates buffer management and tends to result in cache read misses when we recycle such buffers (particularly if DMA-coherent memory requires caches to be disabled). Replace the free list with a simple mapping by descriptor index. We know that there is always a payload descriptor between any two descriptors with TSO header buffers, so we can allocate only one such buffer for each two descriptors. While we're at it, use a standard error code for allocation failure, not -1. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com>

2012-08-24netlink: fix possible spoofing from non-root processesPablo Neira Ayuso
Non-root user-space processes can send Netlink messages to other processes that are well-known for being subscribed to Netlink asynchronous notifications. This allows ilegitimate non-root process to send forged messages to Netlink subscribers. The userspace process usually verifies the legitimate origin in two ways: a) Socket credentials. If UID != 0, then the message comes from some ilegitimate process and the message needs to be dropped. b) Netlink portID. In general, portID == 0 means that the origin of the messages comes from the kernel. Thus, discarding any message not coming from the kernel. However, ctnetlink sets the portID in event messages that has been triggered by some user-space process, eg. conntrack utility. So other processes subscribed to ctnetlink events, eg. conntrackd, know that the event was triggered by some user-space action. Neither of the two ways to discard ilegitimate messages coming from non-root processes can help for ctnetlink. This patch adds capability validation in case that dst_pid is set in netlink_sendmsg(). This approach is aggressive since existing applications using any Netlink bus to deliver messages between two user-space processes will break. Note that the exception is NETLINK_USERSOCK, since it is reserved for netlink-to-netlink userspace communication. Still, if anyone wants that his Netlink bus allows netlink-to-netlink userspace, then they can set NL_NONROOT_SEND. However, by default, I don't think it makes sense to allow to use NETLINK_ROUTE to communicate two processes that are sending no matter what information that is not related to link/neighbouring/routing. They should be using NETLINK_USERSOCK instead for that. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2012-08-24net: Set device operstate at registration timeBen Hutchings
The operstate of a device is initially IF_OPER_UNKNOWN and is updated asynchronously by linkwatch after each change of carrier state reported by the driver. The default carrier state of a net device is on, and this will never be changed on drivers that do not support carrier detection, thus the operstate remains IF_OPER_UNKNOWN. For devices that do support carrier detection, the driver must set the carrier state to off initially, then poll the hardware state when the device is opened. However, we must not activate linkwatch for a unregistered device, and commit b473001 ('net: Do not fire linkwatch events until the device is registered.') ensured that we don't. But this means that the operstate for many devices that support carrier detection remains IF_OPER_UNKNOWN when it should be IF_OPER_DOWN. The same issue exists with the dormant state. The proper initialisation sequence, avoiding a race with opening of the device, is: rtnl_lock(); rc = register_netdevice(dev); if (rc) goto out_unlock; netif_carrier_off(dev); /* or netif_dormant_on(dev) */ rtnl_unlock(); but it seems silly that this should have to be repeated in so many drivers. Further, the operstate seen immediately after opening the device may still be IF_OPER_UNKNOWN due to the asynchronous nature of linkwatch. Commit 22604c8 ('net: Fix for initial link state in 2.6.28') attempted to fix this by setting the operstate synchronously, but it was reverted as it could lead to deadlock. This initialises the operstate synchronously at registration time only. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2012-08-24cls_cgroup: Allow classifier cgroups to have their classid reset to 0Neil Horman
The network classifier cgroup initalizes each cgroups instance classid value to 0. However, the sock_update_classid function only updates classid's in sockets if the tasks cgroup classid is not zero, and if it differs from the current classid. The later check is to prevent cache line dirtying, but the former is detrimental, as it prevents resetting a classid for a cgroup to 0. While this is not a common action, it has administrative usefulness (if the admin wants to disable classification of a certain group temporarily for instance). Easy fix, just remove the zero check.

2012-08-24ipv4: take rt_uncached_lock only if neededEric Dumazet
Multicast traffic allocates dst with DST_NOCACHE, but dst is not inserted into rt_uncached_list. This slowdown multicast workloads on SMP because rt_uncached_lock is contended. Change the test before taking the lock to actually check the dst was inserted into rt_uncached_list. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
