2d04b5ae1b kbuild: support loading extra symbols in modpost
This patch adds a new command line option -E to modpost, expecting a symbol
file as an argument which is read prior to symbol processing. -E can be
supplied multiple times for as many files as is needed.

When building kernel modules that depend on other modules not in the main
kernel tree, modpost complains about undefined symbols:
# make -C /path/to/linux/kernel M=/path/to/my/module
...
Building modules, stage 2.
....
WARNING: "rt_copy_buf" [/home/rich/osc_etl_rtw/osc_kmod.ko] undefined!
...etc

This situation occurs when modpost processes the new module's symbols. When
it finds symbols not exported by the mainline kernel, it issues this warning.

The patch adds a new command line option -e to modpost which expects a symbol
file as an argument. The symbols listed in this file are added to modpost's
symbol tables during startup. -e can be supplied as often as required.

This patch works together with the second patch. It introduces a new make
variable, KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS, which is used when calling modpost.

35bb5b1e0e Add option to enable -Wframe-larger-than= on gcc 4.4
Add option to enable -Wframe-larger-than= on gcc 4.4

gcc mainline (upcoming 4.4) added a new -Wframe-larger-than=...
option to warn at build time about too large stack frames. Add a config
option to enable this warning, since this very useful for the kernel.

I choose (somewhat arbitarily) 2048 as default warning threshold for 64bit
and 1024 as default for 32bit architectures.  With some research and
fixing all the code for smaller values these defaults should be probably
lowered.

With the default allyesconfigs have some new warnings, but I think
that is all code that should be just fixed.

At some point (when gcc 4.4 is released and widely used) this should
obsolete make checkstack

1a747ee0cc locks: don't call ->copy_lock methods on return of conflicting locks
The file_lock structure is used both as a heavy-weight representation of
an active lock, with pointers to reference-counted structures, etc., and
as a simple container for parameters that describe a file lock.

The conflicting lock returned from __posix_lock_file is an example of
the latter; so don't call the filesystem or lock manager callbacks when
copying to it.  This also saves the need for an unnecessary
locks_init_lock in the nfsv4 server.

Thanks to Trond for pointing out the error.

4373ea84c8 lockd: unlock lockd locks associated with a given server ip
For high-availability NFS service, we generally need to be able to drop
file locks held on the exported filesystem before moving clients to a
new server.  Currently the only way to do that is by shutting down lockd
entirely, which is often undesireable (for example, if you want to
continue exporting other filesystems).

This patch allows the administrator to release all locks held by clients
accessing the client through a given server ip address, by echoing that
address to a new file, /proc/fs/nfsd/unlock_ip, as in:

shell> echo 10.1.1.2 > /proc/fs/nfsd/unlock_ip

The expected sequence of events can be:
1. Tear down the IP address
2. Unexport the path
3. Write IP to /proc/fs/nfsd/unlock_ip to unlock files
4. Signal peer to begin take-over.

For now we only support IPv4 addresses and NFSv2/v3 (NFSv4 locks are not
affected).

Also, if unmounting the filesystem is required, we assume at step 3 that
clients using the given server ip are the only clients holding locks on
the given filesystem; otherwise, an additional patch is required to
allow revoking all locks held by lockd on a given filesystem.

cc9429bcb6 ieee1394: rawiso: requeue packet for transmission after skipped cycle
As it seems, some host controllers have issues that can cause them to
skip cycles now and then when using large packets. I suspect that this
is due to DMA not succeeding in time. If the transmit fifo can't contain
more than one packet (big packets), the DMA should provide a new packet
each cycle (125us). I am under the impression that my current PCI
express test system can't guarantee this.

In any case, the patch tries to provide a workaround as follows:
The DMA program descriptors are modified such that when an error occurs,
the DMA engine retries the descriptor the next cycle instead of
stalling. This way no data is lost. The side effect of this is that
packets are sent with one cycle delay. This however might not be that
much of a problem for certain protocols (e.g. AM824). If they use
padding packets for e.g. rate matching they can drop one of those to
resync the streams.

The amount of skips between two userspace wakeups is counted. This
number is then propagated to userspace through the upper 16 bits of the
'dropped' parameter. This allows unmodified userspace applications due
to the following:
1) libraw simply passes this dropped parameter to the user application
2) the meaning of the dropped parameter is: if it's nonzero, something
bad has happened. The actual value of the parameter at this moment does
not have a specific meaning.

A libraw client can then retrieve the number of skipped cycles and
account for them if needed.

Then Herbert in commit 1a6509d991
([IPSEC]: Add support for combined mode algorithms) added a new
structure xfrm_algo_aead, that resurrected a signed int for alg_key_len
and re-introduce integer divides.

This patch avoids these divides and saves 64 bytes of text on i386.

5b3f129c55 ipv6: Fix typo in net/ipv6/Kconfig
Two is used in the wrong context here, as you are connecting to an
IPv6 network over IPv4; not connecting two IPv6 networks to an IPv4
one.

d4f73c8e45 via-velocity: fix vlan receipt
- vlans were using a single CAM register (see mac_set_vlan_cam)
- setting the address filtering registers for vlans is not
  needed when there is no vlan

The non-tagged interface is filtered out as soon as a tagged
(!= 0) interface is created. Its traffic appears again when an
zero-tagged interface is created.

Tested on Via Epia SN (VT6130 chipset) with several vlans whose
tag was above or beyond 255.

9f3f7910c6 forcedeth: realtek phy crossover detection
This patch fixes an issue seen with the realtek 8201 phy. This phy has a
problem with crossover detection and it needs to be disabled. The
problem only arises on certain switches. Therefore, a module parameter
has been added to allow enabling crossover detection if needed. The
default will be set to disabled.

815b97c6b8 gianfar: Fix skb allocation strategy
gianfar was unable to handle failed skb allocation for rx buffers, so
we were spinning until it succeeded.  Actually, it was worse--we were
spinning for a long time, and then silently failing.  Instead, we take
Stephen Hemminger's suggestion to try the allocation earlier, and drop the
packet if it failed.

We also make a couple of tweaks to how buffer descriptors are set up.
