206ebaf327 V4L/DVB (5272): Add V4L2_CAP_VIDEO_OUTPUT_POS capability
Add V4L2_CAP_VIDEO_OUTPUT_POS capability and x, y position coordinates
to struct v4l2_pix_format.
This is needed to support positioning the MPEG/YUV output of the cx23415.

39bc89fd40 make SysRq-T show all tasks again
show_state() (SysRq-T) developed the buggy habbit of not showing
TASK_RUNNING tasks.  This was due to the mistaken belief that state_filter
== -1 would be a pass-through filter - while in reality it did not let
TASK_RUNNING == 0 p->state values through.

Fix this by restoring the original '!state_filter means all tasks'
special-case i had in the original version.  Test-built and test-booted on
i686, SysRq-T now works as intended.

6c210482ae [S390] split page_test_and_clear_dirty.
The page_test_and_clear_dirty primitive really consists of two
operations, page_test_dirty and the page_clear_dirty. The combination
of the two is not an atomic operation, so it makes more sense to have
two separate operations instead of one.
In addition to the improved readability of the s390 version of
SetPageUptodate, it now avoids the page_test_dirty operation which is
an insert-storage-key-extended (iske) instruction which is an expensive
operation.

s390 machines provide hardware support for creating Linux dumps on SCSI
disks. For creating a dump a special purpose dump Linux is used. The first
32 MB of memory are saved by the hardware before the dump Linux is
booted. Via an SCLP interface, the saved memory can be accessed from
Linux. This patch exports memory and registers of the crashed Linux to
userspace via a debugfs file. For more information refer to
Documentation/s390/zfcpdump.txt, which is included in this patch.

e3e7d8d4ea [AVR32] Make I/O access macros work with external devices
Fix the I/O access macros so that they work with externally connected

* Use a set of macros to define I/O port- and memory operations
  borrowed from MIPS.
* Allow subarchitecture to specify address- and data-mangling
* Implement at32ap-specific port mangling (with build-time
  configurable bus width. Only one bus width at a time supported
  for now.)
* Rewrite iowriteN and friends to use write[bwl] and friends
  (not the __raw counterparts.)

This has been tested using pata_pcmcia to access a CompactFlash card
connected to the EBI (16-bit bus width.)

7760989e5e [AVR32] Change system timer from count-compare to Timer/Counter 0
Due to limitation of the count-compare system timer (not able to
count when CPU is in sleep), the system timer had to be changed to
use a peripheral timer/counter.

The old COUNT-COMPARE code is still present in time.c as weak
functions. The new timer is added to the architecture directory.

This patch sets up TC0 as system timer The new timer has been tested
on AT32AP7000/ATSTK1000 at 100 Hz, 250 Hz, 300 Hz and 1000 Hz.

For more details about the timer/counter see the datasheet for

801c135ce7 UBI: Unsorted Block Images
UBI (Latin: "where?") manages multiple logical volumes on a single
flash device, specifically supporting NAND flash devices. UBI provides
a flexible partitioning concept which still allows for wear-levelling
across the whole flash device.

In a sense, UBI may be compared to the Logical Volume Manager
(LVM). Whereas LVM maps logical sector numbers to physical HDD sector
numbers, UBI maps logical eraseblocks to physical eraseblocks.

More information may be found at
http://www.linux-mtd.infradead.org/doc/ubi.html

Partitioning/Re-partitioning

  An UBI volume occupies a certain number of erase blocks. This is
  limited by a configured maximum volume size, which could also be
  viewed as the partition size. Each individual UBI volume's size can
  be changed independently of the other UBI volumes, provided that the
  sum of all volume sizes doesn't exceed a certain limit.

  UBI supports dynamic volumes and static volumes. Static volumes are
  read-only and their contents are protected by CRC check sums.

Bad eraseblocks handling

  UBI transparently handles bad eraseblocks. When a physical
  eraseblock becomes bad, it is substituted by a good physical
  eraseblock, and the user does not even notice this.

Scrubbing

  On a NAND flash bit flips can occur on any write operation,
  sometimes also on read. If bit flips persist on the device, at first
  they can still be corrected by ECC, but once they accumulate,
  correction will become impossible. Thus it is best to actively scrub
  the affected eraseblock, by first copying it to a free eraseblock
  and then erasing the original. The UBI layer performs this type of
  scrubbing under the covers, transparently to the UBI volume users.

Erase Counts

  UBI maintains an erase count header per eraseblock. This frees
  higher-level layers (like file systems) from doing this and allows
  for centralized erase count management instead. The erase counts are
  used by the wear-levelling algorithm in the UBI layer. The algorithm
  itself is exchangeable.

Booting from NAND

  For booting directly from NAND flash the hardware must at least be
  capable of fetching and executing a small portion of the NAND
  flash. Some NAND flash controllers have this kind of support. They
  usually limit the window to a few kilobytes in erase block 0. This
  "initial program loader" (IPL) must then contain sufficient logic to
  load and execute the next boot phase.

  Due to bad eraseblocks, which may be randomly scattered over the
  flash device, it is problematic to store the "secondary program
  loader" (SPL) statically. Also, due to bit-flips it may become
  corrupted over time. UBI allows to solve this problem gracefully by
  storing the SPL in a small static UBI volume.

UBI volumes vs. static partitions

  UBI volumes are still very similar to static MTD partitions:

    * both consist of eraseblocks (logical eraseblocks in case of UBI
      volumes, and physical eraseblocks in case of static partitions;
    * both support three basic operations - read, write, erase.

  But UBI volumes have the following advantages over traditional
  static MTD partitions:

    * there are no eraseblock wear-leveling constraints in case of UBI
      volumes, so the user should not care about this;
    * there are no bit-flips and bad eraseblocks in case of UBI volumes.

  So, UBI volumes may be considered as flash devices with relaxed
  restrictions.

Where can it be found?

  Documentation, kernel code and applications can be found in the MTD
  gits.

What are the applications for?

  The applications help to create binary flash images for two purposes: pfi
  files (partial flash images) for in-system update of UBI volumes, and plain
  binary images, with or without OOB data in case of NAND, for a manufacturing
  step. Furthermore some tools are/and will be created that allow flash content
  analysis after a system has crashed..

Who did UBI?

  The original ideas, where UBI is based on, were developed by Andreas
  Arnez, Frank Haverkamp and Thomas Gleixner. Josh W. Boyer and some others
  were involved too. The implementation of the kernel layer was done by Artem
  B. Bityutskiy. The user-space applications and tools were written by Oliver
  Lohmann with contributions from Frank Haverkamp, Andreas Arnez, and Artem.
  Joern Engel contributed a patch which modifies JFFS2 so that it can be run on
  a UBI volume. Thomas Gleixner did modifications to the NAND layer. Alexander
  Schmidt made some testing work as well as core functionality improvements.

651350d10f [AF_RXRPC]: Add an interface to the AF_RXRPC module for the AFS filesystem to use
Add an interface to the AF_RXRPC module so that the AFS filesystem module can
more easily make use of the services available.  AFS still opens a socket but
then uses the action functions in lieu of sendmsg() and registers an intercept
functions to grab messages before they're queued on the socket Rx queue.

This permits AFS (or whatever) to:

 (1) Avoid the overhead of using the recvmsg() call.

 (2) Use different keys directly on individual client calls on one socket
     rather than having to open a whole slew of sockets, one for each key it
     might want to use.

 (3) Avoid calling request_key() at the point of issue of a call or opening of
     a socket.  This is done instead by AFS at the point of open(), unlink() or
     other VFS operation and the key handed through.

 (4) Request the use of something other than GFP_KERNEL to allocate memory.

Furthermore:

 (*) The socket buffer markings used by RxRPC are made available for AFS so
     that it can interpret the cooked RxRPC messages itself.

 (*) rxgen (un)marshalling abort codes are made available.


The following documentation for the kernel interface is added to
Documentation/networking/rxrpc.txt:

=========================
AF_RXRPC KERNEL INTERFACE
=========================

The AF_RXRPC module also provides an interface for use by in-kernel utilities
such as the AFS filesystem.  This permits such a utility to:

 (1) Use different keys directly on individual client calls on one socket
     rather than having to open a whole slew of sockets, one for each key it
     might want to use.

 (2) Avoid having RxRPC call request_key() at the point of issue of a call or
     opening of a socket.  Instead the utility is responsible for requesting a
     key at the appropriate point.  AFS, for instance, would do this during VFS
     operations such as open() or unlink().  The key is then handed through
     when the call is initiated.

 (3) Request the use of something other than GFP_KERNEL to allocate memory.

 (4) Avoid the overhead of using the recvmsg() call.  RxRPC messages can be
     intercepted before they get put into the socket Rx queue and the socket
     buffers manipulated directly.

To use the RxRPC facility, a kernel utility must still open an AF_RXRPC socket,
bind an addess as appropriate and listen if it's to be a server socket, but
then it passes this to the kernel interface functions.

The kernel interface functions are as follows:

 (*) Begin a new client call.

	struct rxrpc_call *
	rxrpc_kernel_begin_call(struct socket *sock,
				struct sockaddr_rxrpc *srx,
				struct key *key,
				unsigned long user_call_ID,
				gfp_t gfp);

     This allocates the infrastructure to make a new RxRPC call and assigns
     call and connection numbers.  The call will be made on the UDP port that
     the socket is bound to.  The call will go to the destination address of a
     connected client socket unless an alternative is supplied (srx is
     non-NULL).

     If a key is supplied then this will be used to secure the call instead of
     the key bound to the socket with the RXRPC_SECURITY_KEY sockopt.  Calls
     secured in this way will still share connections if at all possible.

     The user_call_ID is equivalent to that supplied to sendmsg() in the
     control data buffer.  It is entirely feasible to use this to point to a
     kernel data structure.

     If this function is successful, an opaque reference to the RxRPC call is
     returned.  The caller now holds a reference on this and it must be
     properly ended.

 (*) End a client call.

	void rxrpc_kernel_end_call(struct rxrpc_call *call);

     This is used to end a previously begun call.  The user_call_ID is expunged
     from AF_RXRPC's knowledge and will not be seen again in association with
     the specified call.

 (*) Send data through a call.

	int rxrpc_kernel_send_data(struct rxrpc_call *call, struct msghdr *msg,
				   size_t len);

     This is used to supply either the request part of a client call or the
     reply part of a server call.  msg.msg_iovlen and msg.msg_iov specify the
     data buffers to be used.  msg_iov may not be NULL and must point
     exclusively to in-kernel virtual addresses.  msg.msg_flags may be given
     MSG_MORE if there will be subsequent data sends for this call.

     The msg must not specify a destination address, control data or any flags
     other than MSG_MORE.  len is the total amount of data to transmit.

 (*) Abort a call.

	void rxrpc_kernel_abort_call(struct rxrpc_call *call, u32 abort_code);

     This is used to abort a call if it's still in an abortable state.  The
     abort code specified will be placed in the ABORT message sent.

 (*) Intercept received RxRPC messages.

	typedef void (*rxrpc_interceptor_t)(struct sock *sk,
					    unsigned long user_call_ID,
					    struct sk_buff *skb);

	void
	rxrpc_kernel_intercept_rx_messages(struct socket *sock,
					   rxrpc_interceptor_t interceptor);

     This installs an interceptor function on the specified AF_RXRPC socket.
     All messages that would otherwise wind up in the socket's Rx queue are
     then diverted to this function.  Note that care must be taken to process
     the messages in the right order to maintain DATA message sequentiality.

     The interceptor function itself is provided with the address of the socket
     and handling the incoming message, the ID assigned by the kernel utility
     to the call and the socket buffer containing the message.

     The skb->mark field indicates the type of message:

	MARK				MEANING
	===============================	=======================================
	RXRPC_SKB_MARK_DATA		Data message
	RXRPC_SKB_MARK_FINAL_ACK	Final ACK received for an incoming call
	RXRPC_SKB_MARK_BUSY		Client call rejected as server busy
	RXRPC_SKB_MARK_REMOTE_ABORT	Call aborted by peer
	RXRPC_SKB_MARK_NET_ERROR	Network error detected
	RXRPC_SKB_MARK_LOCAL_ERROR	Local error encountered
	RXRPC_SKB_MARK_NEW_CALL		New incoming call awaiting acceptance

     The remote abort message can be probed with rxrpc_kernel_get_abort_code().
     The two error messages can be probed with rxrpc_kernel_get_error_number().
     A new call can be accepted with rxrpc_kernel_accept_call().

     Data messages can have their contents extracted with the usual bunch of
     socket buffer manipulation functions.  A data message can be determined to
     be the last one in a sequence with rxrpc_kernel_is_data_last().  When a
     data message has been used up, rxrpc_kernel_data_delivered() should be
     called on it..

     Non-data messages should be handled to rxrpc_kernel_free_skb() to dispose
     of.  It is possible to get extra refs on all types of message for later
     freeing, but this may pin the state of a call until the message is finally
     freed.

 (*) Accept an incoming call.

	struct rxrpc_call *
	rxrpc_kernel_accept_call(struct socket *sock,
				 unsigned long user_call_ID);

     This is used to accept an incoming call and to assign it a call ID.  This
     function is similar to rxrpc_kernel_begin_call() and calls accepted must
     be ended in the same way.

     If this function is successful, an opaque reference to the RxRPC call is
     returned.  The caller now holds a reference on this and it must be
     properly ended.

 (*) Reject an incoming call.

	int rxrpc_kernel_reject_call(struct socket *sock);

     This is used to reject the first incoming call on the socket's queue with
     a BUSY message.  -ENODATA is returned if there were no incoming calls.
     Other errors may be returned if the call had been aborted (-ECONNABORTED)
     or had timed out (-ETIME).

 (*) Record the delivery of a data message and free it.

	void rxrpc_kernel_data_delivered(struct sk_buff *skb);

     This is used to record a data message as having been delivered and to
     update the ACK state for the call.  The socket buffer will be freed.

 (*) Free a message.

	void rxrpc_kernel_free_skb(struct sk_buff *skb);

     This is used to free a non-DATA socket buffer intercepted from an AF_RXRPC
     socket.

 (*) Determine if a data message is the last one on a call.

	bool rxrpc_kernel_is_data_last(struct sk_buff *skb);

     This is used to determine if a socket buffer holds the last data message
     to be received for a call (true will be returned if it does, false
     if not).

     The data message will be part of the reply on a client call and the
     request on an incoming call.  In the latter case there will be more
     messages, but in the former case there will not.

 (*) Get the abort code from an abort message.

	u32 rxrpc_kernel_get_abort_code(struct sk_buff *skb);

     This is used to extract the abort code from a remote abort message.

 (*) Get the error number from a local or network error message.

	int rxrpc_kernel_get_error_number(struct sk_buff *skb);

     This is used to extract the error number from a message indicating either
     a local error occurred or a network error occurred.

071b638689 [WORKQUEUE]: cancel_delayed_work: use del_timer() instead of del_timer_sync()
del_timer_sync() buys nothing for cancel_delayed_work(), but it is less
efficient since it locks the timer unconditionally, and may wait for the
completion of the delayed_work_timer_fn().

cancel_delayed_work() == 0 means:

	before this patch:
		work->func may still be running or queued

	after this patch:
		work->func may still be running or queued, or
		delayed_work_timer_fn->__queue_work() in progress.

		The latter doesn't differ from the caller's POV,
		delayed_work_timer_fn() is called with _PENDING
		bit set.

cancel_delayed_work() == 1 with this patch adds a new possibility:

	delayed_work->work was cancelled, but delayed_work_timer_fn
	is still running (this is only possible for the re-arming
	works on single-threaded workqueue).

	In this case the timer was re-started by work->func(), nobody
	else can do this. This in turn means that delayed_work_timer_fn
	has already passed __queue_work() (and wont't touch delayed_work)
	because nobody else can queue delayed_work->work.
