6d7d684d63 [CRYPTO] api: Added crypto_alloc_base
Up until now all crypto transforms have been of the same type, struct
crypto_tfm, regardless of whether they are ciphers, digests, or other
types.  As a result of that, we check the types at run-time before
each crypto operation.

This is rather cumbersome.  We could instead use different C types for
each crypto type to ensure that the correct types are used at compile
time.  That is, we would have crypto_cipher/crypto_digest instead of
just crypto_tfm.  The appropriate type would then be required for the
actual operations such as crypto_digest_digest.

Now that we have the type/mask fields when looking up algorithms, it
is easy to request for an algorithm of the precise type that the user
wants.  However, crypto_alloc_tfm currently does not expose these new
attributes.

This patch introduces the function crypto_alloc_base which will carry
these new parameters.  It will be renamed to crypto_alloc_tfm once
all existing users have been converted.

ee7564166d [CRYPTO] digest: Store temporary digest in tfm
When the final result location is unaligned, we store the digest in a
temporary buffer before copying it to the final location.  Currently

560c06ae1a [CRYPTO] api: Get rid of flags argument to setkey
Now that the tfm is passed directly to setkey instead of the ctx, we no
longer need to pass the &tfm->crt_flags pointer.

This patch also gets rid of a few unnecessary checks on the key length
for ciphers as the cipher layer guarantees that the key length is within
the bounds specified by the algorithm.

Rather than testing dia_setkey every time, this patch does it only once
during crypto_alloc_tfm.  The redundant check from crypto_digest_setkey
is also removed.

25cdbcd9e5 [CRYPTO] crc32c: Fix unconventional setkey usage
The convention for setkey is that once it is set it should not change,
in particular, init must not wipe out the key set by it.  In fact, init
should always be used after setkey before any digestion is performed.

The only user of crc32c that sets the key is tcrypt.  This patch adds
the necessary init calls there.

6521f30273 [CRYPTO] api: Add crypto_alg reference counting
Up until now we've relied on module reference counting to ensure that the
crypto_alg structures don't disappear from under us.  This was good enough
as long as each crypto_alg came from exactly one module.

However, with parameterised crypto algorithms a crypto_alg object may need
two or more modules to operate.  This means that we need to count the
references to the crypto_alg object directly.

72fa491912 [CRYPTO] api: Rename crypto_alg_get to crypto_mod_get
The functions crypto_alg_get and crypto_alg_put operates on the crypto
modules rather than the algorithms.  Therefore it makes sense to call
them crypto_mod_get and crypto_alg_put respectively.

This is needed because we need to have real algorithm reference counters
for parameterised algorithms as they can be unregistered from below by
when their parameter algorithms are themselves unregistered.

79e453d49b Revert mmiocfg heuristics and blacklist changes
This reverts commits 11012d419c and

reserved in the e820 memory tables.

Those changes were needed for EFI-environment Intel macs, but broke some
newer Intel 965 boards, so for now it's better to revert to our old
2.6.17 behaviour and at least avoid introducing any new breakage.

Andi Kleen has a set of patches that work with both EFI and the broken
Intel 965 boards, which will be applied once they get wider testing.

86998aa653 [PATCH] genirq core: fix handle_level_irq()
while porting the -rt tree to 2.6.18-rc7 i noticed the following
screaming-IRQ scenario on an SMP system:

 2274  0Dn.:1 0.001ms: do_IRQ+0xc/0x103  <= (ret_from_intr+0x0/0xf)
 2274  0Dn.:1 0.010ms: do_IRQ+0xc/0x103  <= (ret_from_intr+0x0/0xf)
 2274  0Dn.:1 0.020ms: do_IRQ+0xc/0x103  <= (ret_from_intr+0x0/0xf)
 2274  0Dn.:1 0.029ms: do_IRQ+0xc/0x103  <= (ret_from_intr+0x0/0xf)
 2274  0Dn.:1 0.039ms: do_IRQ+0xc/0x103  <= (ret_from_intr+0x0/0xf)
 2274  0Dn.:1 0.048ms: do_IRQ+0xc/0x103  <= (ret_from_intr+0x0/0xf)
 2274  0Dn.:1 0.058ms: do_IRQ+0xc/0x103  <= (ret_from_intr+0x0/0xf)
 2274  0Dn.:1 0.068ms: do_IRQ+0xc/0x103  <= (ret_from_intr+0x0/0xf)
 2274  0Dn.:1 0.077ms: do_IRQ+0xc/0x103  <= (ret_from_intr+0x0/0xf)
 2274  0Dn.:1 0.087ms: do_IRQ+0xc/0x103  <= (ret_from_intr+0x0/0xf)
 2274  0Dn.:1 0.097ms: do_IRQ+0xc/0x103  <= (ret_from_intr+0x0/0xf)

as it turns out, the bug is caused by handle_level_irq(), which if it
races with another CPU already handling this IRQ, it _unmasks_ the IRQ
line on the way out. This is not how 2.6.17 works, and we introduced
this bug in one of the early genirq cleanups right before it went into
-mm. (the bug was not in the genirq patchset for a long time, and we
didnt notice the bug due to the lack of -rt rebase to the new genirq
code. -rt, and hardirq-preemption in particular opens up such races much
wider than anything else.)

47a5c6fa0e x86: save/restore eflags in context switch
(And reset it on new thread creation)

It turns out that eflags is important to save and restore not just
because of iopl, but due to the magic bits like the NT bit, which we
don't want leaking between different threads.
