f449b3b54d [NETFILTER]: xt_u32: drop the actually unused variable from u32_match_it
The int ret variable is used only to trigger the BUG_ON() after
the skb_copy_bits() call, so check the call failure directly
and drop the variable.

e2b58a67b9 [NETFILTER]: {ip,ip6,nfnetlink}_queue: fix SKB_LINEAR_ASSERT when mangling packet data
As reported by Tomas Simonaitis <tomas.simonaitis@gmail.com>,
inserting new data in skbs queued over {ip,ip6,nfnetlink}_queue
triggers a SKB_LINEAR_ASSERT in skb_put().

Going back through the git history, it seems this bug is present since
at least 2.6.12-rc2, probably even since the removal of
skb_linearize() for netfilter.

Linearize non-linear skbs through skb_copy_expand() when enlarging
them.  Tested by Thomas, fixes bugzilla #9933.

6133116849 ACPI: TSC breaks atkbd suspend
TSC is used even on machines when CONFIG_X86_TSC is not set (X86_TSC
means _require_ TSC), but it is not properly disabled when it is
unusable, because ACPI code understood the config switch as "may use
TSC".

This actually fixes suspend problems on my x60.

Commit efcd9971 ("IPoIB/cm: Factor out ipoib_cm_free_rx_reap_list()")
introduced a bug in ipoib_cm_dev_stop() when the receive drain times
out.  In that case, the function moves all the pending rx stuff into a
private list but then calls ipoib_cm_free_rx_reap_list(), which
handles a different list.

Fix this by moving everything to the rx_reap_list that will actually
get freed up.

00e962c540 Revert "SLUB: Alternate fast paths using cmpxchg_local"
This reverts commit 1f84260c8c, which is
suspected to be the reason for some very occasional and hard-to-trigger
crashes that usually look related to memory allocation (mostly reported
in networking, but since that's generally the most common source of
shortlived allocations - and allocations in interrupt contexts - that in
itself is not a big clue).

See for example
	http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9973
	http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/2/19/278
etc.

One promising suspicion for what the root cause of bug is (which also
explains why it's so hard to trigger in practice) came from Eric
Dumazet:

   "I wonder how SLUB_FASTPATH is supposed to work, since it is affected
    by a classical ABA problem of lockless algo.

    cmpxchg_local(&c->freelist, object, object[c->offset]) can succeed,
    while an interrupt came (on this cpu), and several allocations were
    done, and one free was performed at the end of this interruption, so
    'object' was recycled.

    c->freelist can then contain the previous value (object), but
    object[c->offset] was changed by IRQ.

    We then put back in freelist an already allocated object."

but another reason for the revert is simply that everybody agrees that
this code was the main suspect just by virtue of the pattern of oopses.

9a74b3eb22 [MIPS] Fix buggy invocations of kmap_coherent()
kmap_coherent will only work correctly if the page it is called on is
not marked dirty.  If it's dirty the kernel address of the page should
be used instead of a temporary mapping.

c42d95d6c4 [MIPS] Fix broken rm7000/rm9000 interrupt handling
Properly acknowledge RM7K and RM9K interrupts. Before this, interrupts were
permanently masked after their first occurrence, making them non-functional.

2eaa7ec286 [MIPS] Handle I-cache coherency in flush_cache_range()
So far flush_cache_range() did't consider the I-cache largely because it
did rarely ever matter to real world code.  This was working primarily
because normally code and data are don't share the same pages - with the
exception of MIPS16 code which uses address constants embedded between
the code.   The following sequence of events may break the code:

 o MIPS16 executable being loaded
 o dynamic linker relocates the address constants embedded into the code:
 o   Uses mprotect(2) to make code pages PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE
 o   Performs the actual relocations by writing to the pages which likely
     are COW.  Because no PROT_EXEC is set I-cache coherence will not be
     considered.
 o   Uses mprotect(2) to switch code pages back to PROT_READ|PROT_EXEC.
     This results in a call to flush_cache_range() which also does not
     consider I-caches.
 o => executing the page just having been relocated may now result in the
   I-cache getting refilled with stale data from memory.

eaf7943cc5 [MIPS] IP27: Add missing ~ in DMA code.
Harmless since this function is not being called on I/O coherent systems
such as IP27.

0e568536d9 [MIPS] Use find_task_by_vpid in system calls
There are some places left in mips, that lookup task in initial namespace,
while the code doing so gets the pid from the user space and thus must
treat it as virtual.
