6510d41954 kernel: Move arches to use common unaligned access
Unaligned access is ok for the following arches:
cris, m68k, mn10300, powerpc, s390, x86

Arches that use the memmove implementation for native endian, and
the byteshifting for the opposite endianness.
h8300, m32r, xtensa

Packed struct for native endian, byteshifting for other endian:
alpha, blackfin, ia64, parisc, sparc, sparc64, mips, sh

m86knommu is generic_be for Coldfire, otherwise unaligned access is ok.

frv, arm chooses endianness based on compiler settings, uses the byteshifting
versions.  Remove the unaligned trap handler from frv as it is now unused.

v850 is le, uses the byteshifting versions for both be and le.

Remove the now unused asm-generic implementation.

064106a91b kernel: add common infrastructure for unaligned access
Create a linux/unaligned directory similar in spirit to the linux/byteorder
folder to hold generic implementations collected from various arches.

Currently there are five implementations:
1) packed_struct.h: C-struct based, from asm-generic/unaligned.h
2) le_byteshift.h: Open coded byte-swapping, heavily based on asm-arm
3) be_byteshift.h: Open coded byte-swapping, heavily based on asm-arm
4) memmove.h: taken from multiple implementations in tree
5) access_ok.h: taken from x86 and others, unaligned access is ok.

All of the new implementations checks for sizes not equal to 1,2,4,8
and will fail to link.

API additions:

get_unaligned_{le16|le32|le64|be16|be32|be64}(p) which is meant to replace
code of the form:
le16_to_cpu(get_unaligned((__le16 *)p));

put_unaligned_{le16|le32|le64|be16|be32|be64}(val, pointer) which is meant to
replace code of the form:
put_unaligned(cpu_to_le16(val), (__le16 *)p);

The headers that arches should include from their asm/unaligned.h:

access_ok.h : Wrappers of the byteswapping functions in asm/byteorder

Choose a particular implementation for little-endian access:
le_byteshift.h
le_memmove.h (arch must be LE)
le_struct.h (arch must be LE)

Choose a particular implementation for big-endian access:
be_byteshift.h
be_memmove.h (arch must be BE)
be_struct.h (arch must be BE)

After including as needed from the above, include unaligned/generic.h and
define your arch's get/put_unaligned as (for LE):

cedb27de04 tpm: change Kconfig dependencies from PNPACPI to PNP
There is no "PNPACPI" driver interface as such.  PNPACPI is an internal
backend of PNP, and drivers just use the generic PNP interface.

The drivers should depend on CONFIG_PNP, not CONFIG_PNPACPI.

tpm_nsc.c doesn't use PNP at all, so we can just remove the dependency
completely.  It probably *should* use PNP to discover the device, but until it
does, there's no point in depending on PNP.

c3c52bce69 edac: fix module initialization on several modules 2nd time
I implemented opstate_init() as a inline function in linux/edac.h.

added calling opstate_init() to:
	i82443bxgx_edac.c
	i82860_edac.c
	i82875p_edac.c
	i82975x_edac.c

I wrote a fixed patch of
edac-fix-module-initialization-on-several-modules.patch,
and tested building 2.6.25-rc7 with applying this. It was succeed.
I think the patch is now correct.

Collection of patches, merged into one, from Adrian that do the following:

1) This patch makes the following needlessly global functions static:
- edac_pci_get_log_pe()
- edac_pci_get_log_npe()
- edac_pci_get_panic_on_pe()
- edac_pci_unregister_sysfs_instance_kobj()
- edac_pci_main_kobj_setup()

2) Remove unneeded function edac_device_find()

94ee1cf5a8 edac: add e752x parameter for sysbus_parity selection
Add a module parameter "sysbus_parity" to allow forcing system bus parity
error checking on or off.  Also add support to automatically disable system
bus parity errors for processors which do not support it.

If the sysbus_parity parameter is specified, sysbus parity detection will be
forced on or off.  If it is not specified, the driver will attempt to look at
the CPU identifier string and determine if the CPU supports system bus parity.
 A blacklist was used instead of a whitelist so that system bus parity would
be enabled by default and to minimize the chances of breaking things for those
people already using the driver which for some reason have a processor that
does not have a valid CPU identifier string.

e68e5b664e random: make mixing interface byte-oriented
Switch add_entropy_words to a byte-oriented interface, eliminating numerous
casts and byte/word size rounding issues.  This also reduces the overall
bit/byte/word confusion in this code.

We now mix a byte at a time into the word-based pool.  This takes four times
as many iterations, but should be negligible compared to hashing overhead.
This also increases our pool churn, which adds some depth against some
theoretical failure modes.

The function name is changed to emphasize pool mixing and deemphasize entropy
(the samples mixed in may not contain any).  extract is added to the core
function to make it clear that it extracts from the pool.

1c0ad3d492 random: make backtracking attacks harder
At each extraction, we change (poolbits / 16) + 32 bits in the pool,
or 96 bits in the case of the secondary pools. Thus, a brute-force
backtracking attack on the pool state is less difficult than breaking
the hash. In certain cases, this difficulty may be is reduced to 2^64
iterations.

Instead, hash the entire pool in one go, then feedback the whole hash
(160 bits) in one go. This will make backtracking at least as hard as
inverting the hash.

d71a6d7332 NBD: add partition support
Permit the use of partitions with network block devices (NBD).

A new parameter is introduced to define how many partition we want to be able
to manage per network block device.  This parameter is "max_part".

For instance, to manage 63 partitions / loop device, we will do:

   [on the server side]
# nbd-server 1234 /dev/sdb
   [on the client side]
# modprobe nbd max_part=63
# ls -l /dev/nbd*

# nbd-client localhost 1234 /dev/nbd0
Negotiation: ..size = 80418240KB
bs=1024, sz=80418240

-------NOTE, RFC: partition table is not automatically read.
The driver sets bdev->bd_invalidated to 1 to force the read of the partition
table of the device, but this is done only on an open of the device.
So we have to do a "touch /dev/nbdX" or something like that.
It can't be done from the nbd-client or nbd driver because at this
level we can't ask to read the partition table and to serve the request
at the same time (-> deadlock)

If someone has a better idea, I'm open to any suggestion.

On "nbd-client -d", we can do an iocl(BLKRRPART) to update partition table:
as the size of the device is 0, we don't have to serve the partition manager
request (-> no deadlock).

48cf6061b3 NBD: allow nbd to be used locally
This patch allows Network Block Device to be mounted locally (nbd-client to
nbd-server over 127.0.0.1).

It creates a kthread to avoid the deadlock described in NBD tools
documentation.  So, if nbd-client hangs waiting for pages, the kblockd thread
can continue its work and free pages.

I have tested the patch to verify that it avoids the hang that always occurs
when writing to a localhost nbd connection.  I have also tested to verify that
no performance degradation results from the additional thread and queue.

Patch originally from Laurent Vivier.

d7321cd624 sysctl: add the ->permissions callback on the ctl_table_root
When reading from/writing to some table, a root, which this table came from,
may affect this table's permissions, depending on who is working with the
table.

The core hunk is at the bottom of this patch.  All the rest is just pushing
the ctl_table_root argument up to the sysctl_perm() function.

This will be mostly (only?) used in the net sysctls.

2c4c7155f2 sysctl: clean from unneeded extern and forward declarations
The do_sysctl_strategy isn't used outside kernel/sysctl.c, so this can be
static and without a prototype in header.

Besides, move this one and parse_table() above their callers and drop the
forward declarations of the latter call.

One more "besides" - fix two checkpatch warnings: space before a ( and an
extra space at the end of a line.

7708bfb1c8 sysctl: merge equal proc_sys_read and proc_sys_write
Many (most of) sysctls do not have a per-container sense.  E.g.
kernel.print_fatal_signals, vm.panic_on_oom, net.core.netdev_budget and so on
and so forth.  Besides, tuning then from inside a container is not even
secure.  On the other hand, hiding them completely from the container's tasks
sometimes causes user-space to stop working.

When developing net sysctl, the common practice was to duplicate a table and
drop the write bits in table->mode, but this approach was not very elegant,
lead to excessive memory consumption and was not suitable in general.

Here's the alternative solution.  To facilitate the per-container sysctls
ctl_table_root-s were introduced.  Each root contains a list of
ctl_table_header-s that are visible to different namespaces.  The idea of this
set is to add the permissions() callback on the ctl_table_root to allow ctl
root limit permissions to the same ctl_table-s.

The main user of this functionality is the net-namespaces code, but later this
will (should) be used by more and more namespaces, containers and control
groups.

Actually, this idea's core is in a single hunk in the third patch.  First two
patches are cleanups for sysctl code, while the third one mostly extends the
arguments set of some sysctl functions.

This patch:

These ->read and ->write callbacks act in a very similar way, so merge these
paths to reduce the number of places to patch later and shrink the .text size
(a bit).
