1a21e49a8d [DCCP] ccid3: Finer-grained resolution of sending rates
This patch
 * resolves a bug where packets smaller than 32/64 bytes resulted in sending rates of 0
 * supports all sending rates from 1/64 bytes/second up to 4Gbyte/second
 * simplifies the present overflow problems in calculations

Current sending rate X and the cached value X_recv of the receiver-estimated
sending rate are both scaled by 64 (2^6) in order to
 * cope with low sending rates (minimally 1 byte/second)
 * allow upgrading to use a packets-per-second implementation of CCID 3
 * avoid calculation errors due to integer arithmetic cut-off

The patch implements a revised strategy from
http://www.mail-archive.com/dccp@vger.kernel.org/msg01040.html

The only difference with regard to that strategy is that t_ipi is already
used in the calculation of the nofeedback timeout, which saves one division.

179ebc9f92 [DCCP] ccid3: Fix two bugs in sending rate computation
This fixes
 1) a bug in the recomputation of the sending rate by the nofeedback
    timer when no feedback at all has so far been sent by the receiver:
    min_t was used instead of max_t, which is wrong (cf. RFC 3448, p. 10);

 2) an error in the computation of larger initial windows: instead of
    min(... max()) (cf. RFC 4342, 5.), the code had used max(... max()).

ff58629824 [DCCP] ccid3: Two optimisations for sending rate recomputation
This performs two optimisations for the recomputation of the sending rate.

1) Currently the target sending rate X_calc is recalculated whenever
	a) the nofeedback timer expires, or
	b) a feedback packet is received.
   In the (a) case, recomputing X_calc is redundant, since

    * the parameters p and RTT do not change in between the
      reception of feedback packets;

    * the parameter X_recv is either modified from received
      feedback or via the nofeedback timer;

    * a test (`p == 0') in the nofeedback timer avoids using
      a stale/undefined value of X_calc if p was previously 0.

2) The nofeedback timer now only recomputes a timestamp when p == 0.
   This is according to step (4) of [RFC 3448, 4.3] and avoids
   unnecessarily determining a timestamp.

A debug statement about not updating X is also removed - it helps very
little in debugging and just clutters the logs.

45393a66a2 [DCCP] ccid3: Check against too large p
This patch follows a suggestion by Ian McDonald and ensures that in
the current code the value of p can not exceed 100%.  Such a value is
illegal and would consequently cause a bug condition in tfrc_calc_x().

The receiver case is also tested, and a warning message is added.

5cc3741d6c [DCCP]: Remove timeo from output.c
It simplifies waiting for the CCID module to signal that a packet
is ready to be sent.  Other simplifications flow on from this such as
removing constants.

As a result of this EAGAIN is not returned any more by dccp_wait_for_ccid
(which would otherwise lead to unnecessarily discarding the packet in
dccp_write_xmit).

ed40771785 [NET]: Fix WAN routers kconfig dependency.
Currently WAN router drivers can be built in-kernel while the
register/unregister_wan_device interfaces are built as modules.
This causes:

drivers/built-in.o: In function `cycx_init':
cycx_main.c:(.init.text+0x5c4b): undefined reference to `register_wan_device'
drivers/built-in.o: In function `cycx_exit':
cycx_main.c:(.exit.text+0x560): undefined reference to `unregister_wan_device'
make: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 1

The problem is caused by tristate -> bool conversion (y or m => y),
so convert WAN_ROUTER_DRIVERS to a tristate so that the correct
dependency is preserved.

8993780a6e Make SLES9 "get_kernel_version" work on the kernel binary again
As reported by Andy Whitcroft, at least the SLES9 initrd build process
depends on getting the kernel version from the kernel binary.  It does
that by simply trawling the binary and looking for the signature of the
"linux_banner" string (the string "Linux version " to be exact. Which
is really broken in itself, but whatever..)

That got broken when the string was changed to allow /proc/version to
change the UTS release information dynamically, and "get_kernel_version"
thus returned "%s" (see commit a2ee8649ba:
"[PATCH] Fix linux banner utsname information").

This just restores "linux_banner" as a static string, which should fix
the version finding.  And /proc/version simply uses a different string.

To avoid wasting even that miniscule amount of memory, the early boot
string should really be marked __initdata, but that just causes the same
bug in SLES9 to re-appear, since it will then find other occurrences of
"Linux version " first.

Fix sizing of big_bytes in the case of vlan frames. The 4
VLAN_HLEN bytes were omitted, leading to sizing the big buffer
4 bytes smaller than it should be.  Due to how rx buffers are
carved from pages, this was harmless for the common (9000, 1500)
byte MTUs, but could lead to data corruption for some MTUs.

99eeb8dfb1 AT91 MMC update for 2.6.19
The driver is usable on the newer SAM9 processors so replace all text
references to AT91RM9200 with just AT91.

The controller bug where all the words are byte-swapped is fixed on the
AT91SAM9 processors.  The byte-swapping work-around therefore only needs
to be done if cpu_is_at91rm9200().
[Original patch from Wojtek Kaniewski]

The AT91RM9200 and AT91SAM9260 processors support two MMC/SD slots - the
slot which is connected is now passed via the platform_data and the
correct slot selected in the AT91_MCI_SDCR register.

The driver should not be calling at91_set_gpio_output() since the VCC
pin should have already been configured as an output in the
processor/board setup code.  The driver should call
at91_set_gpio_value().

6aa8b732ca [PATCH] kvm: userspace interface
web site: http://kvm.sourceforge.net

mailing list: kvm-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
  (http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/kvm-devel)

The following patchset adds a driver for Intel's hardware virtualization
extensions to the x86 architecture.  The driver adds a character device
(/dev/kvm) that exposes the virtualization capabilities to userspace.  Using
this driver, a process can run a virtual machine (a "guest") in a fully
virtualized PC containing its own virtual hard disks, network adapters, and
display.

Using this driver, one can start multiple virtual machines on a host.

Each virtual machine is a process on the host; a virtual cpu is a thread in
that process.  kill(1), nice(1), top(1) work as expected.  In effect, the
driver adds a third execution mode to the existing two: we now have kernel
mode, user mode, and guest mode.  Guest mode has its own address space mapping
guest physical memory (which is accessible to user mode by mmap()ing
/dev/kvm).  Guest mode has no access to any I/O devices; any such access is
intercepted and directed to user mode for emulation.

The driver supports i386 and x86_64 hosts and guests.  All combinations are
allowed except x86_64 guest on i386 host.  For i386 guests and hosts, both pae
and non-pae paging modes are supported.

SMP hosts and UP guests are supported.  At the moment only Intel
hardware is supported, but AMD virtualization support is being worked on.

Performance currently is non-stellar due to the naive implementation of the
mmu virtualization, which throws away most of the shadow page table entries
every context switch.  We plan to address this in two ways:

- cache shadow page tables across tlb flushes
- wait until AMD and Intel release processors with nested page tables

Currently a virtual desktop is responsive but consumes a lot of CPU.  Under
Windows I tried playing pinball and watching a few flash movies; with a recent
CPU one can hardly feel the virtualization.  Linux/X is slower, probably due
to X being in a separate process.

In addition to the driver, you need a slightly modified qemu to provide I/O
device emulation and the BIOS.

Caveats (akpm: might no longer be true):

- The Windows install currently bluescreens due to a problem with the
  virtual APIC.  We are working on a fix.  A temporary workaround is to
  use an existing image or install through qemu
- Windows 64-bit does not work.  That's also true for qemu, so it's
  probably a problem with the device model.
