Vitaly Bordug a79d8e93d3 phy/fixed.c: rework to not duplicate PHY layer functionality
With that patch fixed.c now fully emulates MDIO bus, thus no need
to duplicate PHY layer functionality. That, in turn, drastically
simplifies the code, and drops down line count.

As an additional bonus, now there is no need to register MDIO bus
for each PHY, all emulated PHYs placed on the platform fixed MDIO bus.
There is also no more need to pre-allocate PHYs via .config option,
this is all now handled dynamically.

Kumar Gala f98eeb4eb1 [POWERPC] Fix handling of memreserve if the range lands in highmem
There were several issues if a memreserve range existed and happened
to be in highmem:

* The bootmem allocator is only aware of lowmem so calling
  reserve_bootmem with a highmem address would cause a BUG_ON
* All highmem pages were provided to the buddy allocator

Added a lmb_is_reserved() api that we now use to determine if a highem
page should continue to be PageReserved or provided to the buddy
allocator.

Also, we incorrectly reported the amount of pages reserved since all
highmem pages are initally marked reserved and we clear the
PageReserved flag as we "free" up the highmem pages.

Paul Mackerras fa28237cfc [POWERPC] Provide a way to protect 4k subpages when using 64k pages
Using 64k pages on 64-bit PowerPC systems makes life difficult for
emulators that are trying to emulate an ISA, such as x86, which use a
smaller page size, since the emulator can no longer use the MMU and
the normal system calls for controlling page protections.  Of course,
the emulator can emulate the MMU by checking and possibly remapping
the address for each memory access in software, but that is pretty
slow.

This provides a facility for such programs to control the access
permissions on individual 4k sub-pages of 64k pages.  The idea is
that the emulator supplies an array of protection masks to apply to a
specified range of virtual addresses.  These masks are applied at the
level where hardware PTEs are inserted into the hardware page table
based on the Linux PTEs, so the Linux PTEs are not affected.  Note
that this new mechanism does not allow any access that would otherwise
be prohibited; it can only prohibit accesses that would otherwise be
allowed.  This new facility is only available on 64-bit PowerPC and
only when the kernel is configured for 64k pages.

The masks are supplied using a new subpage_prot system call, which
takes a starting virtual address and length, and a pointer to an array
of protection masks in memory.  The array has a 32-bit word per 64k
page to be protected; each 32-bit word consists of 16 2-bit fields,
for which 0 allows any access (that is otherwise allowed), 1 prevents
write accesses, and 2 or 3 prevent any access.

Implicit in this is that the regions of the address space that are
protected are switched to use 4k hardware pages rather than 64k
hardware pages (on machines with hardware 64k page support).  In fact
the whole process is switched to use 4k hardware pages when the
subpage_prot system call is used, but this could be improved in future
to switch only the affected segments.

The subpage protection bits are stored in a 3 level tree akin to the
page table tree.  The top level of this tree is stored in a structure
that is appended to the top level of the page table tree, i.e., the
pgd array.  Since it will often only be 32-bit addresses (below 4GB)
that are protected, the pointers to the first four bottom level pages
are also stored in this structure (each bottom level page contains the
protection bits for 1GB of address space), so the protection bits for
addresses below 4GB can be accessed with one fewer loads than those
for higher addresses.

Jesper Nilsson b0e86f0a3b CRIS v10: vmlinux.lds.S: ix kernel oops on boot and use common defines
- Move alignment to page size of init data outside ifdef for BLK_DEV_INITRD.
  The reservation up to page size of memory after init data was previously
  not done if BLK_DEV_INITRD was undefined.
  This caused a kernel oops when init memory pages were freed after startup,
  data placed in the same page as the last init memory would also be freed
  and reused, with disastrous results.

- Use macros for initcalls and .text sections.

- Replace hardcoded page size constant with PAGE_SIZE define.

- Change include/asm-cris/page.h to use the _AC macro to instead
  of testing __ASSEMBLY__.

Johannes Berg eb13ba8738 lockdep: fix workqueue creation API lockdep interaction
Dave Young reported warnings from lockdep that the workqueue API
can sometimes try to register lockdep classes with the same key
but different names. This is not permitted in lockdep.

Unfortunately, I was unaware of that restriction when I wrote
the code to debug workqueue problems with lockdep and used the
workqueue name as the lockdep class name. This can obviously
lead to the problem if the workqueue name is dynamic.

This patch solves the problem by always using a constant name
for the workqueue's lockdep class, namely either the constant
name that was passed in or a string consisting of the variable
name.

Paul Mackerras dfbe0d3b6b [POWERPC] Fix boot failure on POWER6
Commit 473980a993 added a call to clear
the SLB shadow buffer before registering it.  Unfortunately this means
that we clear out the entries that slb_initialize has previously set in
there.  On POWER6, the hypervisor uses the SLB shadow buffer when doing
partition switches, and that means that after the next partition switch,
each non-boot CPU has no SLB entries to map the kernel text and data,
which causes it to crash.

This fixes it by reverting most of 473980a9 and instead clearing the
3rd entry explicitly in slb_initialize.  This fixes the problem that
473980a9 was trying to solve, but without breaking POWER6.

Len Brown 9f9adecd2d PM: ACPI and APM must not be enabled at the same time
ACPI and APM used "pm_active" to guarantee that
they would not be simultaneously active.

But pm_active was recently moved under CONFIG_PM_LEGACY,
so that without CONFIG_PM_LEGACY, pm_active became a NOP --
allowing ACPI and APM to both be simultaneously enabled.
This caused unpredictable results, including boot hangs.

Further, the code under CONFIG_PM_LEGACY is scheduled
for removal.

So replace pm_active with pm_flags.
pm_flags depends only on CONFIG_PM,
which is present for both CONFIG_APM and CONFIG_ACPI.

Russell King 198a6d5a61 [ARM] pxa: silence warnings from cpu_is_xxx() macros
If only a single CPU type is selected, __cpu_is_xxx() doesn't
use its argument.  This causes the compiler to issue a warning
about an unused variable in the parent function.

Eric Dumazet 9d3e44425e [SOCK]: Adds a rcu_dereference() in sk_filter
It seems commit fda9ef5d67 introduced a RCU 
protection for sk_filter(), without a rcu_dereference()

Either we need a rcu_dereference(), either a comment should explain why we 
dont need it. I vote for the former.

Eric Dumazet 0f99be0d11 [XFRM]: xfrm_algo_clone() allocates too much memory
alg_key_len is the length in bits of the key, not in bytes.

Best way to fix this is to move alg_len() function from net/xfrm/xfrm_user.c 
to include/net/xfrm.h, and to use it in xfrm_algo_clone()

alg_len() is renamed to xfrm_alg_len() because of its global exposition.

Paul Moore 02f1c89d6e [NET]: Clone the sk_buff 'iif' field in __skb_clone()
Both NetLabel and SELinux (other LSMs may grow to use it as well) rely
on the 'iif' field to determine the receiving network interface of
inbound packets.  Unfortunately, at present this field is not
preserved across a skb clone operation which can lead to garbage
values if the cloned skb is sent back through the network stack.  This
patch corrects this problem by properly copying the 'iif' field in
__skb_clone() and removing the 'iif' field assignment from
skb_act_clone() since it is no longer needed.

Also, while we are here, put the assignments in the same order as the
offsets to reduce cacheline bounces.
