e9c33572a9 [MIPS] Use real cache invalidate
R10k non coherent machines need a real dma cache invalidate to get rid of
speculative stores in cache.  For other machines this promises a slight

619b6e18fc [MIPS] R4000/R4400 daddiu erratum workaround
This complements the generic R4000/R4400 errata workaround code and adds 
bits for the daddiu problem.  In most places it just modifies handwritten 
assembly code so that the assembler is allowed to use a temporary register 
as daddiu may now be treated as a macro that expands to a sequence of li 
and daddu.  It is the AT register or, where AT is unavailable or used 
explicitly for another purpose, an explicitly-named register is selected, 
using the .set at=<reg> feature added recently to gas.  This feature is 
only used if CONFIG_CPU_DADDI_WORKAROUNDS has been set, so if the 
workaround remains disabled, the required version of binutils stays 
unchanged.

 Similarly, daddiu instructions put in branch delay slots in noreorder 
fragments are now taken out of them and the assembler is allowed to 
reorder them itself as possible (which it does making the whole idea of 
scheduling them into delay slots manually questionable).

 Also in the very few places where such a simple conversion was not 
possible, a handcoded longer sequence is implemented.

 Other than that there are changes to code responsible for building the 
TLB fault and page clear/copy handlers to avoid daddiu as appropriate.  
These are only effective if the erratum is verified to be present at the 
run time.

 Finally there is a trivial update to __delay(), because it uses daddiu in 
a branch delay slot.

20d60d9973 [MIPS] R4000/R4400 errata workarounds
This is the gereric part of R4000/R4400 errata workarounds.  They include 
compiler and assembler support as well as some source code modifications 
to address the problems with some combinations of multiply/divide+shift 
instructions as well as the daddi and daddiu instructions.

 Changes included are as follows:

1. New Kconfig options to select workarounds by platforms as necessary.

2. Arch top-level Makefile to pass necessary options to the compiler; also 
   incompatible configurations are detected (-mno-sym32 unsupported as 
   horribly intrusive for little gain).

3. Bug detection updated and shuffled -- the multiply/divide+shift problem 
   is lethal enough that if not worked around it makes the kernel crash in 
   time_init() because of a division by zero; the daddiu erratum might 
   also trigger early potentially, though I have not observed it.  On the 
   other hand the daddi detection code requires the exception subsystem to 
   have been initialised (and is there mainly for information).

4. r4k_daddiu_bug() added so that the existence of the erratum can be 
   queried by code at the run time as necessary; useful for generated code 
   like TLB fault and copy/clear page handlers.

5. __udelay() updated as it uses multiplication in inline assembly.

 Note that -mdaddi requires modified toolchain (which has been maintained 
by myself and available from my site for ~4years now -- versions covered 
are GCC 2.95.4 - 4.1.2 and binutils from 2.13 onwards).  The -mfix-r4000 
and -mfix-r4400 have been standard for a while though.

0aa5bd52d0 module: add module taint on ndiswrapper
The struct module taints member is supposed to store per-module taint
data. The kernel knows about certain specific external modules that will
taint the kernel, such as ndiswrapper. Use of ndiswrapper possibly
should set the per-module taint in addition to the global kernel
taint flag, unless we're arguing not because wrapper module itself
is not what actually causes the kernel to be tainted as such?

the original code use KOBJ_NAME_LEN for built-in module name length,
that's defined to 20 in linux/kobject.h, but this is not enough appearntly,
many module names are longer than this;
 #define KOBJ_NAME_LEN                   20

another macro is MODULE_NAME_LEN defined in linux/module.h, I think this is
enough for module names:
 #define MODULE_NAME_LEN (64 - sizeof(unsigned long))

a2da4052f1 module: Don't report discarded init pages as kernel text.
Current code could cause a bug in symbol_put_addr() if an arch used

issue for modules and noone has complained.

db857da336 jbd2: Use round-jiffies() function for the "5 second" ext4/jbd2 wakeup
While "every 5 seconds" doesn't sound as a problem, there can be many
of these (and these timers do add up over all the kernel).  The "5
second" wakeup isn't really timing sensitive; in addition even with
rounding it'll still happen every 5 seconds (with the exception of the
very first time, which is likely to be rounded up to somewhere closer
to 6 seconds)

is set on every inode creation and that is incremented every time the
inode data is modified (similarly to the "ctime" time-stamp).
The aim is to fulfill a NFSv4 requirement for rfc3530.
This first part concerns the vfs, it converts the 32-bit i_version in
the generic inode to a 64-bit, a flag is added in the super block in
order to check if the feature is enabled and the i_version is
incremented in the vfs.

818d276ceb ext4: Add the journal checksum feature
The journal checksum feature adds two new flags i.e
JBD2_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_ASYNC_COMMIT and JBD2_FEATURE_COMPAT_CHECKSUM.

JBD2_FEATURE_CHECKSUM flag indicates that the commit block contains the
checksum for the blocks described by the descriptor blocks.
Due to checksums, writing of the commit record no longer needs to be
synchronous. Now commit record can be sent to disk without waiting for
descriptor blocks to be written to disk. This behavior is controlled
using JBD2_FEATURE_ASYNC_COMMIT flag. Older kernels/e2fsck should not be
able to recover the journal with _ASYNC_COMMIT hence it is made
incompat.
The commit header has been extended to hold the checksum along with the
type of the checksum.

For recovery in pass scan checksums are verified to ensure the sanity
and completeness(in case of _ASYNC_COMMIT) of every transaction.
