Sam Ravnborg 9a3d0fe84f kconfig: fix saving alternate kconfig file in parent dir
This fixes bugzilla entry: 7182
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7182

With this patch we no longer append the directory part twice
before saving the config file.
This patch has been sent to Roman Zippel for review with no feedback.
It is so obviously simple that this should be OK to apply it anyway.

Sam Ravnborg ea837f1c05 kbuild: make modpost processing configurable
On request from Al Viro make modpost processing configurable.

KBUILD_MODPOST_WARN can be set to make modpost warn instead of
error out in case on unresolved symbols in final module link.

KBUILD_MODPOST_NOFINAL can be set to avoid the final and timeconsuming
.c file generation and link of .ko files. This is solely useful for
speeding up when doing compile checks with for example allmodconfig

Sam Ravnborg c29121b787 kbuild: do not build mconf & lxdialog unless needed
Due to a limitation in kbuild all objects referred
by xxx-y or xxx-objs will be build when one of
the targets needs to e build.

This caused lxdialog to be build pulling in ncurses
that is not always available.
So avoid building mconf & lxdialog unless really needed.

Sam Ravnborg f3cbcdc955 kconfig/lxdialog: let <ESC><ESC> behave as expected
<ESC><ESC> is used to step one back in the dialogs.
When lxdialog became built-in pressing <ESC> once would cause one step back
and pressing <ESC><ESC> would cause two steps back.
This patch - based on concept from Roman Zippel <zippel@linux-m68k.org> -
makes one <ESC> a noop and pressing <ESC><ESC> will cause one step backward.

In addition the final yes/no dialog now has the option to go back to the
the kernel configuration. So if you get too far out you can now go back
to configuring the kernel without saving and starting all over again.

Sam Ravnborg 2982de6993 kconfig/menuconfig: lxdialog is now built-in
lxdialog was previously called as an external program causing screen
to flicker when used. With this patch lxdialog is now built-in.
It is loosly based om previous work by:  Petr Baudis <pasky@ucw.cz>

Following is a list of changes:
o Moved build of dialog routings to kconfig Makefile
o menubox + checklist uses a new item list to hold all menu items
o in util.c implmented helper function to deal with item list
o menubox now uses parameters to save scroll state (avoids temp file)
o textbox now get text to be displayed as parameter and not a file
o make sure to properly delete subwin's before main windows
o killed unused files: lxdialog.c msgbox.c
o modified return value for ESC to match direct calling
o in a few places the code has been adjusted to 80 char wide
o in textbox a small refactoring was made to make code remotely readable
o in mconf removed all unused stuff (functions/variables)

Following is a list of know short comings:
a) pressing ESC twice will be interpreted as two ESC presses
b) resize does not work. menuconfig needs to be restarted to be adjusted

Vlad Yasevich f236218b72 [SCTP]: Do not timestamp every SCTP packet.
We only need the timestamp on COOKIE-ECHO chunks, so instead of always
timestamping every SCTP packet, let common code timestamp if the socket
option is set.  For COOKIE-ECHO, simply get the time of day if we don't
have a timestamp.  This introduces a small possibility that the cookie
may be considered expired, but it will be renegotiated.

Sridhar Samudrala cd49788563 [SCTP]: Include sk_buff overhead while updating the peer's receive window.
Currently if the sender is sending small messages, it can cause a receiver
to run out of receive buffer space even when the advertised receive window
is still open and results in packet drops and retransmissions. Including
a overhead while updating the sender's view of peer receive window will
reduce the chances of receive buffer space overshooting the receive window.

Michael Chan f9317a40c4 [BNX2]: Disable MSI on 5706 if AMD 8132 bridge is present.
MSI is defined to be 32-bit write.  The 5706 does 64-bit MSI writes
with byte enables disabled on the unused 32-bit word.  This is legal
but causes problems on the AMD 8132 which will eventually stop
responding after a while.

Without this patch, the MSI test done by the driver during open will
pass, but MSI will eventually stop working after a few MSIs are
written by the device.

AMD believes this incompatibility is unique to the 5706, and
prefers to locally disable MSI rather than globally disabling it
using pci_msi_quirk.

Update version to 1.4.45.

Paul Jackson 181b648036 [PATCH] cpuset: fix obscure attach_task vs exiting race
Fix obscure race condition in kernel/cpuset.c attach_task() code.

There is basically zero chance of anyone accidentally being harmed by this
race.

It requires a special 'micro-stress' load and a special timing loop hacks
in the kernel to hit in less than an hour, and even then you'd have to hit
it hundreds or thousands of times, followed by some unusual and senseless
cpuset configuration requests, including removing the top cpuset, to cause
any visibly harm affects.

One could, with perhaps a few days or weeks of such effort, get the
reference count on the top cpuset below zero, and manage to crash the
kernel by asking to remove the top cpuset.

I found it by code inspection.

The race was introduced when 'the_top_cpuset_hack' was introduced, and one
piece of code was not updated.  An old check for a possibly null task
cpuset pointer needed to be changed to a check for a task marked
PF_EXITING.  The pointer can't be null anymore, thanks to
the_top_cpuset_hack (documented in kernel/cpuset.c).  But the task could
have gone into PF_EXITING state after it was found in the task_list scan.

If a task is PF_EXITING in this code, it is possible that its task->cpuset
pointer is pointing to the top cpuset due to the_top_cpuset_hack, rather
than because the top_cpuset was that tasks last valid cpuset.  In that
case, the wrong cpuset reference counter would be decremented.

The fix is trivial.  Instead of failing the system call if the tasks cpuset
pointer is null here, fail it if the task is in PF_EXITING state.

The code for 'the_top_cpuset_hack' that changes an exiting tasks cpuset to
the top_cpuset is done without locking, so could happen at anytime.  But it
is done during the exit handling, after the PF_EXITING flag is set.  So if
we verify that a task is still not PF_EXITING after we copy out its cpuset
pointer (into 'oldcs', below), we know that 'oldcs' is not one of these
hack references to the top_cpuset.

Ingo Molnar 03cbc358aa [PATCH] lockdep core: improve the lock-chain-hash
With CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC turned off i was getting sporadic failures in
the locking self-test:

           A-B-C-D-B-D-D-A deadlock:  ok  |  ok  |  ok  |  ok  |  ok  |  ok  |
           A-B-C-D-B-C-D-A deadlock:  ok  |  ok  |  ok  |  ok  |  ok  |FAILED|

after much debugging it turned out to be caused by accidental chain-hash
key collisions.  The current hash is:

 #define iterate_chain_key(key1, key2) \
	(((key1) << MAX_LOCKDEP_KEYS_BITS/2) ^ \
	((key1) >> (64-MAX_LOCKDEP_KEYS_BITS/2)) ^ \
 	(key2))

where MAX_LOCKDEP_KEYS_BITS is 11.  This hash is pretty good as it will
shift by 5 bits in every iteration, where every new ID 'mixed' into the
hash would have up to 11 bits.  But because there was a 6 bits overlap
between subsequent IDs and their high bits tended to be similar, there was
a chance for accidental chain-hash collision for a low number of locks
held.

the solution is to shift by 11 bits:

 #define iterate_chain_key(key1, key2) \
	(((key1) << MAX_LOCKDEP_KEYS_BITS) ^ \
	((key1) >> (64-MAX_LOCKDEP_KEYS_BITS)) ^ \
 	(key2))

This keeps the hash perfect up to 5 locks held, but even above that the
hash is still good because 11 bits is a relative prime to the total 64
bits, so a complete match will only occur after 64 held locks (which doesnt
happen in Linux).  Even after 5 locks held, entropy of the 5 IDs mixed into
the hash is already good enough so that overlap doesnt generate a colliding
hash ID.

with this change the false positives went away.

Vadim Lobanov 74d392aaab [PATCH] Clean up expand_fdtable() and expand_files()
Perform a code cleanup against the expand_fdtable() and expand_files()
functions inside fs/file.c.  It aims to make the flow of code within these
functions simpler and easier to understand, via added comments and modest
refactoring.

Alan Cox eb84a20e9e [PATCH] audit/accounting: tty locking
Add tty locking around the audit and accounting code.

The whole current->signal-> locking is all deeply strange but it's for
someone else to sort out.  Add rather than replace the lock for acct.c

Alan Cox 5f412b2424 [PATCH] Fix locking for tty drivers when doing urgent characters
If you send a priority character (as is done for flow control) then the tty
driver can either have its own method for "jumping the queue" or the characrer
can be queued normally.  In the latter case we call the write method but
without the atomic_write_lock taken elsewhere.

Make this consistent.  Note that the send_xchar method if implemented remains
outside of the lock as it can jump ahead of a current write so must not be
locked out by it.

The driver has no business doing this work itself any more and hasn't for some
years.  When the new speed stuff goes in this will break entirely so fix it up
ready.

Also remove a #if 0 around a comment....

Adrian Bunk b9dd6ffc3d [PATCH] build sound/sound_firmware.c only for OSS
All sound/sound_firmware.c contains is mod_firmware_load() that is a legacy
API only used by some OSS drivers.

This patch builds it into an own sound_firmware module that is only built
depending on CONFIG_SOUND_PRIME making the kernel slightly smaller for ALSA
users.
