51da64264b sh: intc - add single bitmap register support
This patch adds single bitmap register support to intc. The current
code only handles 16 and 32 bit registers where a set bit means
interrupt enabled, but this is easy to extend in the future.

The INTC_IRQ() macro is also added to provide a way to hook in
interrupt controllers for FPGAs in boards or companion chips.

d59645d6ba sh: intc - remove redundant irq code for sh03, snapgear and titan
This patch removes redundant board specific interrupt code for boards
using sh775x processors and 4 IRQ lines in "Individual Interrupt Mode"
aka IRLM.

Three boards are affected: sh03, snapgear and titan.

The right way to do this is to use cpu specific code provided by intc.
A nice side effect is that sh03 now compiles, board not BROKEN any more.

ad89f87a84 rtc: rtc-sh: Support 4-digit year on SH7705/SH7710/SH7712.
All SH-4 parts have a 4-digit year, while the SH-3 parts typically
only use a 2-digit one. The SH7705, SH7710, and SH7712 SH-3 parts
however opted to extend it to 4-digit and still look and act like
an SH-3 RTC in all other ways.

This adds a capability flag (RTC_CAP_4_DIGIT_YEAR) that these
corner-case CPU subtypes can set in their platform data and cleans
up some of the ifdef mess in the driver as a result.

ec58f1f32d sh: intc - add support for SH7706, SH7707, SH7708, SH7709
This patch unifies the cpu specific interrupt setup code for
sh7706, sh7707, sh7708 and sh7709 and moves the code into a new
file called setup-sh770x.c.  It makes sense to share the setup code
between these processors because most hardware blocks are identical
from a software point of view. With this patch the sh770x processors
now have a complete set of vectors that match with the information
provided by the data sheets. This is a big improvement for sh7708.

Vectors for IRQ4 and IRQ5 are enabled by default. Use
plat_irq_setup_pins() if pins IRQ0-3 should be used in IRQ mode.

This patch also unifies the platform device setup code which means
that the rtc driver now has platform data for all sh770x processors.

b8fceee17a signalfd simplification
This simplifies signalfd code, by avoiding it to remain attached to the
sighand during its lifetime.

In this way, the signalfd remain attached to the sighand only during
poll(2) (and select and epoll) and read(2).  This also allows to remove
all the custom "tsk == current" checks in kernel/signal.c, since
dequeue_signal() will only be called by "current".

I think this is also what Ben was suggesting time ago.

The external effect of this, is that a thread can extract only its own
private signals and the group ones.  I think this is an acceptable
behaviour, in that those are the signals the thread would be able to
fetch w/out signalfd.

9db619e665 rpc: fix garbage in printk in svc_tcp_accept()
we upgraded the kernel of a nfs-server from 2.6.17.11 to 2.6.22.6. Since
then we get the message

lockd: too many open TCP sockets, consider increasing the number of nfsd threads
lockd: last TCP connect from ^\\236^\É^D

These random characters in the second line are caused by a bug in
svc_tcp_accept.

(Note: there are two previous __svc_print_addr(sin, buf, sizeof(buf))
calls in this function, either of which would initialize buf correctly;
but both are inside "if"'s and are not necessarily executed.  This is
less obvious in the second case, which is inside a dprintk(), which is a
macro which expands to an if statement.)

f3d5e3a415 [PPP] L2TP: Fix skb handling in pppol2tp_xmit
This patch makes pppol2tp_xmit call skb_cow_head so that we don't modify
cloned skb data.  It also gets rid of skb2 we only need to preserve the
original skb for congestion notification, which is only applicable for
ppp_async and ppp_sync.

The other semantic change made here is the removal of socket accounting
for data tranmitted out of pppol2tp_xmit.  The original code leaked any
existing socket skb accounting.  We could fix this by dropping the
original skb owner.  However, this is undesirable as the packet has not
physically left the host yet.

In fact, all other tunnels in the kernel do not account skb's passing
through to their own socket.  In partciular, ESP over UDP does not do
so and it is the closest tunnel type to PPPoL2TP.  So this patch simply
removes the socket accounting in pppol2tp_xmit.  The accounting still
applies to control packets of course.

I've also added a reminder that the outgoing checksum here doesn't work.
I suppose existing deployments don't actually enable checksums.

31e8793094 SELinux: fix array out of bounds when mounting with selinux options
Given an illegal selinux option it was possible for match_token to work in
random memory at the end of the match_table_t array.

Note that privilege is required to perform a context mount, so this issue is
effectively limited to root only.

9c95e7319b sched: fix invalid sched_class use
When using rt_mutex, a NULL pointer dereference is occurred at
enqueue_task_rt. Here is a scenario;
1) there are two threads, the thread A is fair_sched_class and
   thread B is rt_sched_class.
2) Thread A is boosted up to rt_sched_class, because the thread A
   has a rt_mutex lock and the thread B is waiting the lock.
3) At this time, when thread A create a new thread C, the thread
   C has a rt_sched_class.
4) When doing wake_up_new_task() for the thread C, the priority
   of the thread C is out of the RT priority range, because the
   normal priority of thread A is not the RT priority. It makes
   data corruption by overflowing the rt_prio_array.
The new thread C should be fair_sched_class.

The new thread should be valid scheduler class before queuing.
This patch fixes to set the suitable scheduler class.

1799e35d5b sched: add /proc/sys/kernel/sched_compat_yield
add /proc/sys/kernel/sched_compat_yield to make sys_sched_yield()
more agressive, by moving the yielding task to the last position
in the rbtree.
