maximilian attems 29a5c67e7a kexec: export kexec.h to user space
Add userspace definitions, guard all relevant kernel structures.  While at
it document stuff and remove now useless userspace hint.

It is easy to add the relevant system call to respective libc's, but it
seems pointless to have to duplicate the data structures.

This is based on the kexec-tools headers, with the exception of just using
int on return (succes or failure) and using size_t instead of 'unsigned
long int' for the number of segments argument of kexec_load().

Ulrich Drepper 9295b7a07c kbuild: install kernel-page-flags.h
Programs using /proc/kpageflags need to know about the various flags.  The
<linux/kernel-page-flags.h> provides them and the comments in the file
indicate that it is supposed to be used by user-level code.  But the file
is not installed.

Install the headers and mark the unstable flags as out-of-bounds.  The
page-type tool is also adjusted to not duplicate the definitions

Pull more networking updates from David Miller:
 "Ok, everything from here on out will be bug fixes."

1) One final sync of wireless and bluetooth stuff from John Linville.
   These changes have all been in his tree for more than a week, and
   therefore have had the necessary -next exposure.  John was just away
   on a trip and didn't have a change to send the pull request until a
   day or two ago.

2) Put back some defines in user exposed header file areas that were
   removed during the tokenring purge.  From Stephen Hemminger and Paul
   Gortmaker.

3) A bug fix for UDP hash table allocation got lost in the pile due to
   one of those "you got it..  no I've got it.." situations.  :-)

   From Tim Bird.

4) SKB coalescing in TCP needs to have stricter checks, otherwise we'll
   try to coalesce overlapping frags and crash.  Fix from Eric Dumazet.

5) RCU routing table lookups can race with free_fib_info(), causing
   crashes when we deref the device pointers in the route.  Fix by
   releasing the net device in the RCU callback.  From Yanmin Zhang.

Linus Torvalds fb09bafda6 Staging tree pull request for 3.5-rc1
Here is the big staging tree pull request for the 3.5-rc1 merge window.
 
 Loads of changes here, and we just narrowly added more lines than we
 added:
  622 files changed, 28356 insertions(+), 26059 deletions(-)
 
 But, good news is that there is a number of subsystems that moved out of
 the staging tree, to their respective "real" portions of the kernel.
 
 Code that moved out was:
 	- iio core code
 	- mei driver
 	- vme core and bridge drivers
 
 There was one broken network driver that moved into staging as a step
 before it is removed from the tree (pc300), and there was a few new
 drivers added to the tree:
 	- new iio drivers
 	- gdm72xx wimax USB driver
 	- ipack subsystem and 2 drivers
 
 All of the movements around have acks from the various subsystem
 maintainers, and all of this has been in the linux-next tree for a
 while.

Will Drewry e2cfabdfd0 seccomp: add system call filtering using BPF
[This patch depends on luto@mit.edu's no_new_privs patch:
   https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/30/264
 The whole series including Andrew's patches can be found here:
   https://github.com/redpig/linux/tree/seccomp
 Complete diff here:
   https://github.com/redpig/linux/compare/1dc65fed...seccomp
]

This patch adds support for seccomp mode 2.  Mode 2 introduces the
ability for unprivileged processes to install system call filtering
policy expressed in terms of a Berkeley Packet Filter (BPF) program.
This program will be evaluated in the kernel for each system call
the task makes and computes a result based on data in the format
of struct seccomp_data.

A filter program may be installed by calling:
  struct sock_fprog fprog = { ... };
  ...
  prctl(PR_SET_SECCOMP, SECCOMP_MODE_FILTER, &fprog);

The return value of the filter program determines if the system call is
allowed to proceed or denied.  If the first filter program installed
allows prctl(2) calls, then the above call may be made repeatedly
by a task to further reduce its access to the kernel.  All attached
programs must be evaluated before a system call will be allowed to
proceed.

Filter programs will be inherited across fork/clone and execve.
However, if the task attaching the filter is unprivileged
(!CAP_SYS_ADMIN) the no_new_privs bit will be set on the task.  This
ensures that unprivileged tasks cannot attach filters that affect
privileged tasks (e.g., setuid binary).

There are a number of benefits to this approach. A few of which are
as follows:
- BPF has been exposed to userland for a long time
- BPF optimization (and JIT'ing) are well understood
- Userland already knows its ABI: system call numbers and desired
  arguments
- No time-of-check-time-of-use vulnerable data accesses are possible.
- system call arguments are loaded on access only to minimize copying
  required for system call policy decisions.

Mode 2 support is restricted to architectures that enable
HAVE_ARCH_SECCOMP_FILTER.  In this patch, the primary dependency is on
syscall_get_arguments().  The full desired scope of this feature will
add a few minor additional requirements expressed later in this series.
Based on discussion, SECCOMP_RET_ERRNO and SECCOMP_RET_TRACE seem to be
the desired additional functionality.

No architectures are enabled in this patch.

Thierry Reding 4a165d25f6 ext2: No longer export ext2_fs.h to user space
Since the on-disk format has been stable for quite some time, users
should either use the headers provided by libext2fs or keep a private
copy of this header. For the full discussion, see this thread:

	https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/3/21/516

While at it, this commit removes all __KERNEL__ guards, which are now
unnecessary.

Linus Torvalds a591afc01d Merge branch 'x86-x32-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x32 support for x86-64 from Ingo Molnar:
 "This tree introduces the X32 binary format and execution mode for x86:
  32-bit data space binaries using 64-bit instructions and 64-bit kernel
  syscalls.

  This allows applications whose working set fits into a 32 bits address
  space to make use of 64-bit instructions while using a 32-bit address
  space with shorter pointers, more compressed data structures, etc."

Paul Mackerras bf7daebb9f ppp: Move ioctl definitions from if_ppp.h to new ppp-ioctl.h
This moves the definitions of the ioctls, constants and structures
relating to the ppp_generic interface to userspace out from if_ppp.h
to a new file, ppp-ioctl.h.  The new file has my copyright since I
designed and implemented the ppp_generic interface in the late 1990s.
None of the contents of this file comes from the original if_ppp.h
published by Carnegie Mellon University.

Of the remainder of if_ppp.h, only the PPP_MTU definition was being
used, and this replaces the uses of it with PPP_MRU (which is identical).
Therefore, this replaces the entire file with the single line

#include <linux/ppp-ioctl.h>

which clearly doesn't contain any CMU code.  Thus I have removed the
CMU copyright notice with its problematic advertising clause, and in
fact since it's only one trivial line I have not added any other
copyright notice.

The ID packing definitions are needed by userland and the register
definitions may also be useful there.

Do not export mdio_phy_id_{is_c45,prtad,devad}() as the use of bool is
problematic and it's not that useful to export only a subset of these.

Do not export MDIO_SUPPORTS_{C22,C45} directly; these flags are only
exposed to userland through struct ethtool_cmd so they should be
defined alongside that with appropriate names.

Jiri Pirko 3d249d4ca7 net: introduce ethernet teaming device
This patch introduces new network device called team. It supposes to be
very fast, simple, userspace-driven alternative to existing bonding
driver.

Userspace library called libteam with couple of demo apps is available
here:
https://github.com/jpirko/libteam
Note it's still in its dipers atm.

team<->libteam use generic netlink for communication. That and rtnl
suppose to be the only way to configure team device, no sysfs etc.

Python binding of libteam was recently introduced.
Daemon providing arpmon/miimon active-backup functionality will be
introduced shortly. All what's necessary is already implemented in
kernel team driver.

v7->v8:
	- check ndo_ndo_vlan_rx_[add/kill]_vid functions before calling
	  them.
	- use dev_kfree_skb_any() instead of dev_kfree_skb()

v6->v7:
	- transmit and receive functions are not checked in hot paths.
	  That also resolves memory leak on transmit when no port is
	  present

v5->v6:
	- changed couple of _rcu calls to non _rcu ones in non-readers

v4->v5:
	- team_change_mtu() uses team->lock while travesing though port
	  list
	- mac address changes are moved completely to jurisdiction of
	  userspace daemon. This way the daemon can do FOM1, FOM2 and
	  possibly other weird things with mac addresses.
	  Only round-robin mode sets up all ports to bond's address then
	  enslaved.
	- Extended Kconfig text

v3->v4:
	- remove redundant synchronize_rcu from __team_change_mode()
	- revert "set and clear of mode_ops happens per pointer, not per
	  byte"
	- extend comment of function __team_change_mode()

v2->v3:
	- team_change_mtu() uses rcu version of list traversal to unwind
	- set and clear of mode_ops happens per pointer, not per byte
	- port hashlist changed to be embedded into team structure
	- error branch in team_port_enter() does cleanup now
	- fixed rtln->rtnl

v1->v2:
	- modes are made as modules. Makes team more modular and
	  extendable.
	- several commenters' nitpicks found on v1 were fixed
	- several other bugs were fixed.
	- note I ignored Eric's comment about roundrobin port selector
	  as Eric's way may be easily implemented as another mode (mode
	  "random") in future.

Add the drivers/virt directory, which houses drivers that support
virtualization environments, and add the Freescale hypervisor management
driver.

The Freescale hypervisor management driver provides several services to
drivers and applications related to the Freescale hypervisor:

1. An ioctl interface for querying and managing partitions

2. A file interface to reading incoming doorbells

3. An interrupt handler for shutting down the partition upon receiving the
   shutdown doorbell from a manager partition

4. A kernel interface for receiving callbacks when a managed partition
   shuts down.

John Calixto cb87ea28ed mmc: core: Add mmc CMD+ACMD passthrough ioctl
Allows appropriately-privileged applications to send CMD (normal) and ACMD
(application-specific; preceded with CMD55) commands to cards/devices on
the mmc bus.  This is primarily useful for enabling the security
functionality built in to every SD card.

It can also be used as a generic passthrough (e.g. to enable virtual
machines to control mmc bus devices directly).  However, this use case has
not been tested rigorously.  Generic passthrough testing was only conducted
for a few non-security opcodes to prove the feasibility of the passthrough.

Since any opcode can be sent using this passthrough, it is very possible to
render the card/device unusable.  Applications that use this ioctl must
have CAP_SYS_RAWIO.

Security commands tested on TI PCIxx12 (SDHCI), Sigma Designs SMP8652 SoC,
TI OMAP3621/OMAP3630 SoC, Samsung S5PC110 SoC, Qualcomm MSM7200A SoC.

Laurent Pinchart 333c8b9778 [media] v4l: v4l2_subdev userspace format API
Add a userspace API to get, set and enumerate the media format on a
subdev pad.

The format at the output of a subdev usually depends on the format at
its input(s). The try format operation is thus not suitable for probing
format at individual pads, as it can't modify the device state and thus
can't remember the format tried at the input to compute the output
format.

To fix the problem, pass an extra argument to the get/set format
operations to select the 'try' or 'active' format.

The try format is used when probing the subdev. Setting the try format
must not change the device configuration but can store data for later
reuse. Data storage is provided at the file-handle level so applications
probing the subdev concurently won't interfere with each other.

The active format is used when configuring the subdev. It's identical to
the format handled by the usual get/set operations.

Hans Verkuil 226c0eeaea V4L/DVB: videotext: remove this obsolete API
Remove the vtx (aka videotext aka teletext) API from the v4l2 core.
This API was scheduled for removal in kernel 2.6.35.

The vtx device nodes have been superseded by vbi device nodes
for many years. No applications exist that use the vtx support.
Of the two i2c drivers that actually support this API the saa5249
has been impossible to use for a year now and no known hardware
that supports this device exists. The saa5246a is theoretically
supported by the old mxb boards, but it never actually worked.

In summary: there is no hardware that can use this API and there
are no applications actually implementing this API.

The vtx support still reserves minors 192-223 and we would really
like to reuse those for upcoming new functionality. In the unlikely
event that new hardware appears that wants to use the functionality
provided by the vtx API, then that functionality should be build
around the sliced VBI API instead.

Eric Paris 7c5347733d fanotify: disable fanotify syscalls
This patch disables the fanotify syscalls by just not building them and
letting the cond_syscall() statements in kernel/sys_ni.c redirect them
to sys_ni_syscall().

It was pointed out by Tvrtko Ursulin that the fanotify interface did not
include an explicit prioritization between groups.  This is necessary
for fanotify to be usable for hierarchical storage management software,
as they must get first access to the file, before inotify-like notifiers
see the file.

This feature can be added in an ABI compatible way in the next release
(by using a number of bits in the flags field to carry the info) but it
was suggested by Alan that maybe we should just hold off and do it in
the next cycle, likely with an (new) explicit argument to the syscall.
I don't like this approach best as I know people are already starting to
use the current interface, but Alan is all wise and noone on list backed
me up with just using what we have.  I feel this is needlessly ripping
the rug out from under people at the last minute, but if others think it
needs to be a new argument it might be the best way forward.

Three choices:
Go with what we got (and implement the new feature next cycle).  Add a
new field right now (and implement the new feature next cycle).  Wait
till next cycle to release the ABI (and implement the new feature next
cycle).  This is number 3.

Arnd Bergmann 2116b7a473 smbfs: move to drivers/staging
smbfs has been scheduled for removal in 2.6.27, so
maybe we can now move it to drivers/staging on the
way out.

smbfs still uses the big kernel lock and nobody
is going to fix that, so we should be getting
rid of it soon.

This removes the 32 bit compat mount and ioctl
handling code, which is implemented in common fs
code, and moves all smbfs related files into
drivers/staging/smbfs.

Andy Grover fd128dfa50 RDS: Add rds.h to exported headers list
Also, a number of changes were made based on the assumption that
rds.h wasn't exported, so roll these back.
