75ee034add [S390] omit frame pointers on s390 when possible
Always omit frame pointers on s390. They aren't too useful for the
kernel since we have already the kernel stack backchain which allows
us to walk the kernel stack.
So eleminate the extra code for frame pointers. Only allow the extra
code for the function tracer since the gcc compile options -pg and
-fomit-frame-pointer are incompatible.

e1c805309d [S390] /proc/stat idle field for idle cpus
The cpu idle field in the output of /proc/stat is too small for cpus
that have been idle for more than a tick. Add the architecture hook
arch_idle_time that allows to add the not accounted idle time of a
sleeping cpu without waking the cpu.

The s390 implementation of arch_idle_time uses the already existing
s390_idle_data per_cpu variable to find the sleep time of a neighboring
idle cpu.

d9ba7615bf GFS2: Ensure that the inode goal block settings are updated
GFS2 has a goal block associated with each inode indicating the
search start position for future block allocations (in fact there
are two, but thats for backward compatibility with GFS1 as they
are set to identical locations in GFS2).

In some circumstances, depending on the ordering of updates to
the inode it was possible for the goal block settings to not
be updated on disk. This patch ensures that the goal block will
always get updated, thus reducing the potential for searching
the same (already allocated) blocks again when looking for free
space during block allocation.

9261461077 ACPI: delete obsolete "bus master activity" proc field
Linux-2.6.29 deleted the legacy ACPI idle handler, leaving
the CPU_IDLE handler, which does not track bus master activity.

So delete the unused bm_activity field -- it is confusing to
print an always zero value.

This patch could break programs that parse
/proc/acpi/processor/*/power, since it deletes this
line from that file:

bus master activity:     00000000

a71e4917dc ACPI: idle: mark_tsc_unstable() at init-time, not run-time
The c2 and c3 idle handlers check tsc_halts_in_c()
after every time they return from idle.  Um, when?:-)

Move this check to init-time to remove the unnecessary
run-time overhead, and also to have the check complete before
the first entry into the idle handler.

ff69f2bba6
(acpi: fix of pmtimer overflow that make Cx states time incorrect)
replaced the hard-coded use of the PM-timer inside idle,
with ktime_get_readl(), which possibly uses the TSC --
so it is now especially prudent to detect a broken TSC
before entering idle.

3a6b42cadc eCryptfs: Larger buffer for encrypted symlink targets
When using filename encryption with eCryptfs, the value of the symlink
in the lower filesystem is encrypted and stored as a Tag 70 packet.
This results in a longer symlink target than if the target value wasn't
encrypted.

Users were reporting these messages in their syslog:

[ 45.653441] ecryptfs_parse_tag_70_packet: max_packet_size is [56]; real
packet size is [51]
[ 45.653444] ecryptfs_decode_and_decrypt_filename: Could not parse tag
70 packet from filename; copying through filename as-is

This was due to bufsiz, one the arguments in readlink(), being used to
when allocating the buffer passed to the lower inode's readlink().
That symlink target may be very large, but when decoded and decrypted,
could end up being smaller than bufsize.

To fix this, the buffer passed to the lower inode's readlink() will
always be PATH_MAX in size when filename encryption is enabled.  Any
necessary truncation occurs after the decoding and decrypting.

the variable to zero, the kernel doesn't crash any longer:

db2f38c22e palm_bk3710: UDMA performance fix
Fix UDMA throughput bug:  tCYC averages t2CYCTYP/2, but the code
previously assumed it was the same as t2CYCTYP.  (That is, it was
using just one clock edge, not both.)  Move the table's type
declaration so it's adjacent to the table, making it more clear
what those numbers mean.

On one system this change increased throughput by almost 4x: UDMA/66
sometimes topped 23 MB/sec (on a drive known to do much better).  On
another system it was around a 10% win (UDMA/66 up to 7+ MB/sec).

The difference might be caused by the ratio between memory and IDE
clocks.  In the system with large speedup, this was exactly 2 (as a
workaround for a rev 1.1 silicon bug).  The other system used a more
standard ratio of 1.63 (and rev 2.1 silicon) ... clock domain synch
might have some issues, they're not unheard-of.

956d039a25 sparc: Fix bus type probing for ESP and LE devices.
If there is a dummy "espdma" or "ledma" parent device above ESP scsi
or LE ethernet device nodes, we have to match the bus as SBUS.

Otherwise the address and size cell counts are wrong and we don't
calculate the final physical device resource values correctly at all.

Commit 5280267c1d ("sparc: Fix handling
of LANCE and ESP parent nodes in of_device.c") was meant to fix this
problem, but that only influences the inner loop of
build_device_resources().  We need this logic to also kick in at the
beginning of build_device_resources() as well, when we make the first
attempt to determine the device's immediate parent bus type for 'reg'
property element extraction.

Based almost entirely upon a patch by Friedrich Oslage.

13a791b4e6 eCryptfs: Fix data corruption when using ecryptfs_passthrough
ecryptfs_passthrough is a mount option that allows eCryptfs to allow
data to be written to non-eCryptfs files in the lower filesystem.  The
passthrough option was causing data corruption due to it not always
being treated as a non-eCryptfs file.

The first 8 bytes of an eCryptfs file contains the decrypted file size.
This value was being written to the non-eCryptfs files, too.  Also,
extra 0x00 characters were being written to make the file size a
multiple of PAGE_CACHE_SIZE.

3a5203ab3c eCryptfs: Print FNEK sig properly in /proc/mounts
The filename encryption key signature is not properly displayed in
/proc/mounts.  The "ecryptfs_sig=" mount option name is displayed for
all global authentication tokens, included those for filename keys.

This patch checks the global authentication token flags to determine if
the key is a FEKEK or FNEK and prints the appropriate mount option name
before the signature.

57ea34d199 eCryptfs: NULL pointer dereference in ecryptfs_send_miscdev()
If data is NULL, msg_ctx->msg is set to NULL and then dereferenced
afterwards.  ecryptfs_send_raw_message() is the only place that
ecryptfs_send_miscdev() is called with data being NULL, but the only
caller of that function (ecryptfs_process_helo()) is never called.  In
short, there is currently no way to trigger the NULL pointer
dereference.

This patch removes the two unused functions and modifies
ecryptfs_send_miscdev() to remove the NULL dereferences.

ae6e84596e eCryptfs: Copy lower inode attrs before dentry instantiation
Copies the lower inode attributes to the upper inode before passing the
upper inode to d_instantiate().  This is important for
security_d_instantiate().

The problem was discovered by a user seeing SELinux denials like so:

type=AVC msg=audit(1236812817.898:47): avc:  denied  { 0x100000 } for
pid=3584 comm="httpd" name="testdir" dev=ecryptfs ino=943872
scontext=root:system_r:httpd_t:s0
tcontext=root:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t:s0 tclass=file

Notice target class is file while testdir is really a directory,
confusing the permission translation (0x100000) due to the wrong i_mode.
