Matt Mooney 4f82728027 Documentation: update kbuild loadable modules goals & examples
Update section 3.3 Loadable module goals - obj-m, from $(<module_name>-objs)
to $(<module_name>-y) for easier addition of conditional objects to the
module. The examples are also updated to reflect the current state of
each Makefile used.

Jan Kara 5f11e6a440 ext3: Fix dirtying of journalled buffers in data=journal mode
In data=journal mode, we still use block_write_begin() to prepare page for
writing. This function can occasionally mark buffer dirty which violates
journalling assumptions - when a buffer is part of a transaction, it should be
dirty and a buffer can be already part of a forget list of some transaction
when block_write_begin() gets called. This violation of journalling assumptions
then results in "JBD: Spotted dirty metadata buffer..." warnings.

In fact, temporary dirtying the buffer while the page is still locked does not
really cause problems to the journalling because we won't write the buffer
until the page gets unlocked. So we just have to make sure to clear dirty bits
before unlocking the page.

Wang Lei 07567a5509 DNS: Make AFS go to the DNS for AFSDB records for unknown cells
Add DNS query support for AFS so that it can get the IP addresses of Volume
Location servers from the DNS using an AFSDB record.

This requires userspace support.  /etc/request-key.conf must be configured to
invoke a helper for dns_resolver type keys with a subtype of "afsdb:" in the
description.

Wang Lei 1a4240f476 DNS: Separate out CIFS DNS Resolver code
Separate out the DNS resolver key type from the CIFS filesystem into its own
module so that it can be made available for general use, including the AFS
filesystem module.

This facility makes it possible for the kernel to upcall to userspace to have
it issue DNS requests, package up the replies and present them to the kernel
in a useful form.  The kernel is then able to cache the DNS replies as keys
can be retained in keyrings.

Resolver keys are of type "dns_resolver" and have a case-insensitive
description that is of the form "[<type>:]<domain_name>".  The optional <type>
indicates the particular DNS lookup and packaging that's required.  The
<domain_name> is the query to be made.

If <type> isn't given, a basic hostname to IP address lookup is made, and the
result is stored in the key in the form of a printable string consisting of a
comma-separated list of IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.

This key type is supported by userspace helpers driven from /sbin/request-key
and configured through /etc/request-key.conf.  The cifs.upcall utility is
invoked for UNC path server name to IP address resolution.

The CIFS functionality is encapsulated by the dns_resolve_unc_to_ip() function,
which is used to resolve a UNC path to an IP address for CIFS filesystem.  This
part remains in the CIFS module for now.

See the added Documentation/networking/dns_resolver.txt for more information.

Jeff Layton 5acfec2502 cifs: reduce false positives with inode aliasing serverino autodisable
It turns out that not all directory inodes with dentries on the
i_dentry list are unusable here. We only consider them unusable if they
are still hashed or if they have a root dentry attached.

Full disclosure -- this check is inherently racy. There's nothing that
stops someone from slapping a new dentry onto this inode just after
this check, or hashing an existing one that's already attached. So,
this is really a "best effort" thing to work around misbehaving servers.

	Display Internal CIFS Data Structures for Debugging
	---------------------------------------------------
	CIFS Version 1.64
	Features: dfs fscache posix spnego xattr
	Active VFS Requests: 0
	...

This patch provides a definitive way to tell what features are currently
enabled in the running kernel. This could also help debugging.

Rajashekhara, Sudhakar 90bd4e6dd7 davinci: support for EDMA resource sharing
Current EDMA driver is not taking care of EDMA channels/slots
which are allocated from other processor, say DSP. If a
channel/slot is allocated from DSP, the existing EDMA driver
can still allocate the same resource on ARM.

This patch enables the user to pass the channel/slots reserved
for DSP as platform data. EDMA driver scans this list during
probe and prepares a bitmap of channel/slots which can be used
on ARM side.

Trying to reserve channels by doing a 'pre-allocate' using
edma_alloc_{slot|channel}() API does not work because

1) The reservation should be done in probe() to avoid race
   with other ARM side driver trying to use EDMA

2) The alloc channel API sets up the access through shadow region
   0 which will be incorrect for DSP usage. It also sets up the
   channel <-> queue number mapping which is not required as DSP
   will likely do its own mapping anyway.

3) (minor) There is no API to allocate channels in bulk.

Sekhar Nori bc3ac9f316 davinci: edma: provide ability to detect insufficient CC info data
This patch modifies the EDMA driver to expect the channel
controller (CC) infomation passed on by the platform as a fixed
size (EDMA_MAX_CC) array of pointers to structures.

Doing so helps catch errors of the sort where the resource
structure has information for more channel controllers than
the number channel controller info structures defined.

Such insufficient platform data would lead to illegal memory
accesses.

arch/arm/mach-davinci/da830.c:1027:3:   also defined here

coming from the irq priorities array init.

Apart from one instance of genuinie repetition, most are are instances
of multiple #defines of the same interrupt number. I have not
removed the multiple definitions from the irq.h file in the hope
that someone might decide to use them as shared interrupts at some
point of time. The priority initialization however needs to be done
only once and hence has been corrected.

Add in a helper function to allow the kdb shell to dump the ftrace
buffer.

Modify trace.c to expose the capability to iterate over the ftrace
buffer in a read only capacity.

Michal Simek 3f0a55e357 kgdb,powerpc: Replace hardcoded offset by BREAK_INSTR_SIZE
kgdb_handle_breakpoint checks the first arch_kgdb_breakpoint
which is not known by gdb that's why is necessary jump over
it. The jump lenght is equal to BREAK_INSTR_SIZE that's
why is cleaner to use defined macro instead of hardcoded
non-described offset.

Jason Wessel 6d855b1d83 gdbstub: do not directly use dbg_reg_def[] in gdb_cmd_reg_set()
Presently the usable registers definitions on x86 are not contiguous
for kgdb.  The x86 kgdb uses a case statement for the sparse register
accesses.  The array which defines the registers (dbg_reg_def) should
not be used directly in order to safely work with sparse register
definitions.

Specifically there was a problem when gdb accesses ORIG_AX, which is
accessed only through the case statement.

This patch encodes register memory using the size information provided
from the debugger which avoids the need to look up the size of the
register.  The dbg_set_reg() function always further validates the
inputs from the debugger.
