786e3dfbae cdc_ether: Hardwire CDC descriptors when missing

9e7d1a445e iwlwifi: correct math in elapsed_jiffies
w/o the first change: if end == start you get MAX_JIFFY_OFFSET which
isn't what you want...

For the latter I think to be technically correct you need the +1 to
account for the jiffy between MAX_JIFFY_OFFSET and 0

(hmm w/ the 2nd change the first isn't strictly needed... ah well)

Had to define a KEY_WIMAX as a 'key for disabling only wimax radios',
as other radio technologies have. This makes sense as hardware has
specific keys for disabling specific radios.

The RFKILL enabling part is, otherwise, a copy and paste of any other
radio technology.

76f3915b4c iwlwifi: Fix uCode error on association
The problem is that priv->assoc_id is set when assoc. resp frame is
received. But, when it is set, LQ cmd is still not sent to the uCode, it is
done from bg_post_assoc, which is called through a workqueue.

On the other hand, when a tx arrives at the moment when this flag is set,
but LQ is still not sent, the if condition in tx_skb will not hold and
the frame will not be dropped.  Thus, it will be sent through
which is still not in the sta table in the uCoded.

849e0dcea6 iwlwifi: initialize geo/channel information during probe
The geo/channel information is obtained from the EEPROM, which is read
during probe. We can thus set up channel information at this time. This
helps us to support ioctl commands that rely on this before the interface
is brought up.

Clearly matches _init_channel_map with _free_channel_map and _init_geos
with _free_geos to ensure functions calling these routines can also call
their cleanup routines.

Fixes a few bugs:
- if channel information is not available when ioctl commands are
  issued then we get a NULL pointer oops. Having channel information
  set up during probe we can deal with ioctl commands without requiring
  interface to be brought up.
  This fixes bug: http://www.bughost.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1552
- Fix potential problem if user triggers probe/remove/probe sequence. The
  value of priv->channel_count was used to determine if channel map is
  set up. This value was never reset when channel map was removed.
- Fix memory leak: priv->modes need to be freed when device removed.

I have been using the rtl8180 driver via the git kernel route for a while now and would like to suggest that the following local ammendment is included in the development tree in order to support the PCI device 1799:700f.

This device is found on the 'Belkin Wireless G Desktop Card' product, model 'F5D7000uk'.  From memory, the chip on the card is inscribed RTL8185L;  (I don't know the significance of the 'L', I'm afraid).

e78c9d2857 b43legacy: fix MAC control and microcode init
This zeros out all microcode related memory before loading
the microcode.

This also fixes initialization of the MAC control register.
The _only_ place where we overwrite the contents of the MAC control
register is at the beginning of b43_chip_init().
All other places must do read() -> mask/set -> write() to not
overwrite existing bits.

This also adds a longer delay for waiting for the microcode
to initialize itself. It seems that the current timeout is sufficient
on all available devices, but there's no real reason why we shouldn't
wait for up to one second. Slow embedded devices might exist.
Better safe than sorry.

While at it, fix naming of MACCTL values.

This patch by Michael Buesch has been ported to b43legacy.

ATH5K_DEBUG_BEACON_PROC.

* remove debug level ATH5K_DEBUG_FATAL. doesn't make sense as a debug level -
if it's fatal it should be logged as an error.

* fancier printing of debug levels. cat /debugfs/ath5k/phy0/debug.

* allow debug levels to be changed by echoing their name into
/debugfs/ath5k/phy0/debug. this will toggle the state, when it was off it will
be turned on and vice versa.

* use copy_from_user() when reading from the debug files. use unsigned int for
better optimization. reduce buffer sizes on stack.

ef9884e6f2 sched: let +nice tasks have smaller impact
Michel Dänzr has bisected an interactivity problem with
plus-reniced tasks back to this commit:

 sched: another wakeup_granularity fix

      unit mis-match: wakeup_gran was used against a vruntime

fix this by assymetrically scaling the vtime of positive reniced
tasks.

296825cbe1 sched: fix high wake up latencies with FAIR_USER_SCHED
The reason why we are getting better wakeup latencies for
!FAIR_USER_SCHED is because of this snippet of code in place_entity():

	if (!initial) {
		/* sleeps upto a single latency don't count. */
		if (sched_feat(NEW_FAIR_SLEEPERS) && entity_is_task(se))
						     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
			vruntime -= sysctl_sched_latency;

		/* ensure we never gain time by being placed backwards. */
		vruntime = max_vruntime(se->vruntime, vruntime);
	}

NEW_FAIR_SLEEPERS feature gives credit for sleeping only to tasks and
not group-level entities. With the patch attached, I could see that
wakeup latencies with FAIR_USER_SCHED are restored to the same level as
!FAIR_USER_SCHED.

d4387bd3fa x86: c_p_a clflush_cache_range fix
Because in i386 early boot stage, boot_cpu_data may be not available,
which makes clflush_cach_range() into infinite loop, which is called
by change_page_attr(). This patch fixes this by setting
boot_cpu_data.x86_clflush_size in early_cpu_detect().
