Due to a wrong safety check in af_can.c it was not possible to filter
for SFF frames with a specific CAN identifier without getting the
same selected CAN identifier from a received EFF frame also.
This fix has a minimum (but user visible) impact on the CAN filter
API and therefore the CAN version is set to a new date.
Indeed the 'old' API is still working as-is. But when now setting
CAN_(EFF|RTR)_FLAG in can_filter.can_mask you might get less traffic
than before - but still the stuff that you expected to get for your
defined filter ...
Thanks to Kurt Van Dijck for pointing at this issue and for the review.

Fix setting of max_segment_size and seg_boundary mask for stacked md/dm
devices.
When stacking devices (LVM over MD over SCSI) some of the request queue
parameters are not set up correctly in some cases by default, namely
max_segment_size and and seg_boundary mask.
If you create MD device over SCSI, these attributes are zeroed.
Problem become when there is over this mapping next device-mapper mapping
- queue attributes are set in DM this way:
request_queue max_segment_size seg_boundary_mask
SCSI 65536 0xffffffff
MD RAID1 0 0
LVM 65536 -1 (64bit)
Unfortunately bio_add_page (resp. bio_phys_segments) calculates number of
physical segments according to these parameters.
During the generic_make_request() is segment cout recalculated and can
increase bio->bi_phys_segments count over the allowed limit. (After
bio_clone() in stack operation.)
Thi is specially problem in CCISS driver, where it produce OOPS here
BUG_ON(creq->nr_phys_segments > MAXSGENTRIES);
(MAXSEGENTRIES is 31 by default.)
Sometimes even this command is enough to cause oops:
dd iflag=direct if=/dev/<vg>/<lv> of=/dev/null bs=128000 count=10
This command generates bios with 250 sectors, allocated in 32 4k-pages
(last page uses only 1024 bytes).
For LVM layer, it allocates bio with 31 segments (still OK for CCISS),
unfortunatelly on lower layer it is recalculated to 32 segments and this
violates CCISS restriction and triggers BUG_ON().
The patch tries to fix it by:
* initializing attributes above in queue request constructor
blk_queue_make_request()
* make sure that blk_queue_stack_limits() inherits setting
(DM uses its own function to set the limits because it
blk_queue_stack_limits() was introduced later. It should probably switch
to use generic stack limit function too.)
* sets the default seg_boundary value in one place (blkdev.h)
* use this mask as default in DM (instead of -1, which differs in 64bit)

blkdev_dequeue_request() and elv_dequeue_request() are equivalent and
both start the timeout timer. Barrier code dequeues the original
barrier request but doesn't passes the request itself to lower level
driver, only broken down proxy requests; however, as the original
barrier code goes through the same dequeue path and timeout timer is
started on it. If barrier sequence takes long enough, this timer
expires but the low level driver has no idea about this request and
oops follows.
Timeout timer shouldn't have been started on the original barrier
request as it never goes through actual IO. This patch unexports
elv_dequeue_request(), which has no external user anyway, and makes it
operate on elevator proper w/o adding the timer and make
blkdev_dequeue_request() call elv_dequeue_request() and add timer.
Internal users which don't pass the request to driver - barrier code
and end_that_request_last() - are converted to use
elv_dequeue_request().

This adds a new function, of_get_gpio_flags, which is like
of_get_gpio(), but accepts a new "flags" argument. This new function
will be used by the drivers that need to retrieve additional GPIO
information, such as active-low flag.
Also, this changes the default ("simple") .xlate routine to warn about
bogus (< 2) #gpio-cells usage: the second cell should always be present
for GPIO flags.

Impact: new ftrace_graph_stop function
While developing more features of function graph, I hit a bug that
caused the WARN_ON to trigger in the prepare_ftrace_return function.
Well, it was hard for me to find out that was happening because the
bug would not print, it would just cause a hard lockup or reboot.
The reason is that it is not safe to call printk from this function.
Looking further, I also found that it calls unregister_ftrace_graph,
which grabs a mutex and calls kstop machine. This would definitely
lock the box up if it were to trigger.
This patch adds a fast and safe ftrace_graph_stop() which will
stop the function tracer. Then it is safe to call the WARN ON.

Impact: new API to ring buffer
This patch adds a new interface into the ring buffer that allows a
page to be read from the ring buffer on a given CPU. For every page
read, one must also be given to allow for a "swap" of the pages.
rpage = ring_buffer_alloc_read_page(buffer);
if (!rpage)
goto err;
ret = ring_buffer_read_page(buffer, &rpage, cpu, full);
if (!ret)
goto empty;
process_page(rpage);
ring_buffer_free_read_page(rpage);
The caller of these functions must handle any waits that are
needed to wait for new data. The ring_buffer_read_page will simply
return 0 if there is no data, or if "full" is set and the writer
is still on the current page.

It seems that on some nVidia controllers using AltStatus register
can be unreliable so default to Status register if the PCI device
is in Compatibility Mode. In order to achieve this:
* Add ide_pci_is_in_compatibility_mode() inline helper to <linux/ide.h>.
* Add IDE_HFLAG_BROKEN_ALTSTATUS host flag and set it in amd74xx host
driver for nVidia controllers in Compatibility Mode.
* Teach actual_try_to_identify() and drive_is_ready() about the new flag.
This fixes the regression caused by removal of CONFIG_IDEPCI_SHARE_IRQ
config option in 2.6.25 and using AltStatus register unconditionally when
available (kernel.org bugs #11659 and #10216).
[ Moreover for CONFIG_IDEPCI_SHARE_IRQ=y (which is what most people
and distributions use) it never worked correctly. ]
Thanks to Remy LABENE and Lars Winterfeld for help with debugging the problem.

It has been thought that the per-user file descriptors limit would also
limit the resources that a normal user can request via the epoll
interface. Vegard Nossum reported a very simple program (a modified
version attached) that can make a normal user to request a pretty large
amount of kernel memory, well within the its maximum number of fds. To
solve such problem, default limits are now imposed, and /proc based
configuration has been introduced. A new directory has been created,
named /proc/sys/fs/epoll/ and inside there, there are two configuration
points:
max_user_instances = Maximum number of devices - per user
max_user_watches = Maximum number of "watched" fds - per user
The current default for "max_user_watches" limits the memory used by epoll
to store "watches", to 1/32 of the amount of the low RAM. As example, a
256MB 32bit machine, will have "max_user_watches" set to roughly 90000.
That should be enough to not break existing heavy epoll users. The
default value for "max_user_instances" is set to 128, that should be
enough too.
This also changes the userspace, because a new error code can now come out
from EPOLL_CTL_ADD (-ENOSPC). The EMFILE from epoll_create() was already
listed, so that should be ok.

Commit 7ff93f8b ("mlx4_core: Multiple port type support") introduced
support for different port types. As part of that support, SET_PORT
is invoked to set the port type during driver startup. However, as a
side-effect, for IB ports the invocation of this command also sets the
port's capability mask to zero (losing the default value set by FW).
To fix this, get the default ib port capabilities (via a MAD_IFC Port
Info query) during driver startup, and save them for use in the
mlx4_SET_PORT command when setting the port-type to Infiniband.
This patch fixes problems with subnet manager (SM) failover such as
<https://bugs.openfabrics.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1183>, which occurred
because the IsTrapSupported bit in the capability mask was zeroed.

This patch adds the power management support into the physical

Suspend and resume functions respectively turns on/off the bit 11
into the PHY Basic mode control register.
Generic PHY device starts supporting PM.
In order to support the wake-on LAN and avoid to put in power down
the PHY device, the MDIO is aware of what the Ethernet device wants to do.
Voluntary, no CONFIG_PM defines were added into the sources.
Also generic suspend/resume functions are exported to allow
other drivers use them (such as genphy_config_aneg etc.).
Within the phy_driver_register function, we need to remove the
memset. It overrides the device driver owner and it is not good.

With aliasing VIPT cache support, the ARM implementation of
clear_user_page() and copy_user_page() sets up a temporary kernel space
mapping such that we have the same cache colour as the userspace page.
This avoids having to consider any userspace aliases from this operation.
However, when highmem is enabled, kmap_atomic() have to setup mappings.
The copy_user_highpage() and clear_user_highpage() call these functions
before delegating the copies to copy_user_page() and clear_user_page().
The effect of this is that each of the *_user_highpage() functions setup
their own kmap mapping, followed by the *_user_page() functions setting
up another mapping. This is rather wasteful.
Thankfully, copy_user_highpage() can be overriden by architectures by
defining __HAVE_ARCH_COPY_USER_HIGHPAGE. However, replacement of
clear_user_highpage() is more difficult because its inline definition
is not conditional. It seems that you're expected to define
__HAVE_ARCH_ALLOC_ZEROED_USER_HIGHPAGE and provide a replacement
__alloc_zeroed_user_highpage() implementation instead.
The allocation itself is fine, so we don't want to override that. What
we really want to do is to override clear_user_highpage() with our own
version which doesn't kmap_atomic() unnecessarily.
Other VIPT architectures (PARISC and SH) would also like to override
this function as well.

The rfkill class API requires that the driver connected to a class
call rfkill_force_state() on resume to update the real state of the
rfkill controller, OR that it provides a get_state() hook.
This means there is potentially a hidden call in the resume code flow
that changes rfkill->state (i.e. rfkill_force_state()), so the
previous state of the transmitter was being lost.
The simplest and most future-proof way to fix this is to explicitly
store the pre-sleep state on the rfkill structure, and restore from
that on resume.

Impact: feature
This patch sets a C-like output for the function graph tracing.
For this aim, we now call two handler for each function: one on the entry
and one other on return. This way we can draw a well-ordered call stack.
The pid of the previous trace is loosely stored to be compared against
the one of the current trace to see if there were a context switch.
Without this little feature, the call tree would seem broken at
some locations.
We could use the sched_tracer to capture these sched_events but this
way of processing is much more simpler.
2 spaces have been chosen for indentation to fit the screen while deep
calls. The time of execution in nanosecs is printed just after closed
braces, it seems more easy this way to find the corresponding function.
If the time was printed as a first column, it would be not so easy to
find the corresponding function if it is called on a deep depth.
I plan to output the return value but on 32 bits CPU, the return value
can be 32 or 64, and its difficult to guess on which case we are.
I don't know what would be the better solution on X86-32: only print
eax (low-part) or even edx (high-part).
Actually it's thee same problem when a function return a 8 bits value, the
high part of eax could contain junk values...

Impact: cleanup
This patch changes the name of the "return function tracer" into
function-graph-tracer which is a more suitable name for a tracing
which makes one able to retrieve the ordered call stack during
the code flow.

This adds country IE parsing to mac80211 and enables its usage
within the new regulatory infrastructure in cfg80211. We parse
the country IEs only on management beacons for the BSSID you are
associated to and disregard the IEs when the country and environment
(indoor, outdoor, any) matches the already processed country IE.
To avoid following misinformed or outdated APs we build and use
a regulatory domain out of the intersection between what the AP
provides us on the country IE and what CRDA is aware is allowed
on the same country.
A secondary device is allowed to follow only the same country IE
as it make no sense for two devices on a system to be in two
different countries.
In the case the AP is using country IEs for an incorrect country
the user may help compliance further by setting the regulatory
domain before or after the IE is parsed and in that case another
intersection will be performed.
CONFIG_WIRELESS_OLD_REGULATORY is supported but requires CRDA
present.

Impact: restructure DS memory allocation to be done by the usage site of DS
Require pre-allocated buffers in ds.h.
Move the BTS buffer allocation for ptrace into ptrace.c.
The pointer to the allocated buffer is stored in the traced task's
task_struct together with the handle returned by ds_request_bts().
Removes memory accounting code.
