I reproduced the same oops while trying to execute at+mode=99, it would
be nice to get these fix merged since I believe it's still needed to
connect the laptop over gprs (something I didn't test yet).

56c1e26d75 [PATCH] USB: ehci power fixes
Miscellaneous updates for EHCI.

 - Mostly updates the power switching on EHCI controllers.  One routine
   centralizes the "power on/off all ports" logic, and the capability to
   do that is reported more correctly.

 - Courtesy Colin Leroy, a patch to always power up ports after resumes
   which didn't keep a USB device suspended.  The reset-everything logic
   powers down those ports (on some hardware) so something needs to turn
   them back on.

 - Minor tweaks/bugfixes for the debug port support.

aabc9761b6 [IPSEC]: Store idev entries
I found a bug that stopped IPsec/IPv6 from working.  About
a month ago IPv6 started using rt6i_idev->dev on the cached socket dst
entries.  If the cached socket dst entry is IPsec, then rt6i_idev will
be NULL.

Since we want to look at the rt6i_idev of the original route in this
case, the easiest fix is to store rt6i_idev in the IPsec dst entry just
as we do for a number of other IPv6 route attributes.  Unfortunately
this means that we need some new code to handle the references to
rt6i_idev.  That's why this patch is bigger than it would otherwise be.

I've also done the same thing for IPv4 since it is conceivable that
once these idev attributes start getting used for accounting, we
probably need to dereference them for IPv4 IPsec entries too.

8df5a500a3 [IA64] perfmon & PAL_HALT again
The pmu_active test is based on the values of PSR.up. THIS IS THE PROBLEM as
it does not take into account the lazy restore logic which is as follow (simplified):

context switch out:
	save PMDs
	clear psr.up
	release ownership

context switch in:
	if (ctx->last_cpu == smp_processor_id() && ctx->cpu_activation == cpu_activation) {
		set psr.up
		return
	}
	restore PMD
	restore PMC
	ctx->last_cpu   = smp_processor_id();
	ctx->activation = ++cpu_activation;
	set psr.up

The key here is that on context switch out, we clear psr.up and on context switch in
we check if nobody else used the PMU on that processor since last time we came. In
that case, we assume the PMD/PMC are ours and we simply reactivate.

The Caliper problem is that between the moment we context switch out and the moment we
come back, nobody effectively used the PMU BUT the processor went idle. Normally this
would have no incidence but PAL_HALT does alter the PMU registers.  In default_idle(),
the test on psr.up is not strong enough to cover this case and we go into PAL which
trashed the PMU resgisters. When we come back we falsely assume that this is our state
yet it is corrupted. Very nasty indeed.

To avoid the problem it is necessary to forbid going to PAL_HALT as soon as perfmon
installs some valid state in the PMU registers. This happens with an application
attaches a context to a thread or CPU. It is not enough to check the psr/dcr bits.
Hence I propose the attached patch. It adds a callback in process.c to modify the
condition to enter PAL on idle. Basically, now it is conditional to pal_halt=1 AND
perfmon saying it is okay.

2a0a6ebee1 [NETLINK]: Synchronous message processing.
Let's recap the problem.  The current asynchronous netlink kernel
message processing is vulnerable to these attacks:

1) Hit and run: Attacker sends one or more messages and then exits
before they're processed.  This may confuse/disable the next netlink
user that gets the netlink address of the attacker since it may
receive the responses to the attacker's messages.

Proposed solutions:

a) Synchronous processing.
b) Stream mode socket.
c) Restrict/prohibit binding.

2) Starvation: Because various netlink rcv functions were written
to not return until all messages have been processed on a socket,
it is possible for these functions to execute for an arbitrarily
long period of time.  If this is successfully exploited it could
also be used to hold rtnl forever.

Proposed solutions:

a) Synchronous processing.
b) Stream mode socket.

Firstly let's cross off solution c).  It only solves the first
problem and it has user-visible impacts.  In particular, it'll
break user space applications that expect to bind or communicate
with specific netlink addresses (pid's).

So we're left with a choice of synchronous processing versus
SOCK_STREAM for netlink.

For the moment I'm sticking with the synchronous approach as
suggested by Alexey since it's simpler and I'd rather spend
my time working on other things.

However, it does have a number of deficiencies compared to the
stream mode solution:

1) User-space to user-space netlink communication is still vulnerable.

2) Inefficient use of resources.  This is especially true for rtnetlink
since the lock is shared with other users such as networking drivers.
The latter could hold the rtnl while communicating with hardware which
causes the rtnetlink user to wait when it could be doing other things.

3) It is still possible to DoS all netlink users by flooding the kernel
netlink receive queue.  The attacker simply fills the receive socket
with a single netlink message that fills up the entire queue.  The
attacker then continues to call sendmsg with the same message in a loop.

Point 3) can be countered by retransmissions in user-space code, however
it is pretty messy.

In light of these problems (in particular, point 3), we should implement
stream mode netlink at some point.  In the mean time, here is a patch
that implements synchronous processing.

96c3602343 [NETLINK]: cb_lock does not needs ref count on sk
Here is a little optimisation for the cb_lock used by netlink_dump.
While fixing that race earlier, I noticed that the reference count
held by cb_lock is completely useless.  The reason is that in order
to obtain the protection of the reference count, you have to take
the cb_lock.  But the only way to take the cb_lock is through
dereferencing the socket.

That is, you must already possess a reference count on the socket
before you can take advantage of the reference count held by cb_lock.
As a corollary, we can remve the reference count held by the cb_lock.

b1b901c202 [IA64] MCA recovery improvements
Jack Steiner uncovered some opportunities for improvement in
the MCA recovery code.

  1) Set bsp to save registers on the kernel stack.
  2) Disable interrupts while in the MCA recovery code.
  3) Change the way the user process is killed, to avoid 
     a panic in schedule.

Testing shows that these changes make the recovery code much 
more reliable with the 2.6.12 kernel.

446b8831f5 [IA64] fix ia64 syscall auditing
Attached is a patch against David's audit.17 kernel that adds checks
for the TIF_SYSCALL_AUDIT thread flag to the ia64 system call and
signal handling code paths.  The patch enables auditing of system
calls set up via fsys_bubble_down, as well as ensuring that
audit_syscall_exit() is called on return from sigreturn.

Neglecting to check for TIF_SYSCALL_AUDIT at these points results in
incorrect information in audit_context, causing frequent system panics
when system call auditing is enabled on an ia64 system.

I have tested this patch and have seen no problems with it.
