6e537e9329 Blackfin arch: Fix bug using usb keyboard crashes kernel
Without conswitchp preset, we have the following situation:

 - During initcalls: con_init is called, and returns because of
   !display_desc.

 - At this point there is no memory allocated for vc_cons[].d
   A bit later vty_init calls kbd_init.

 - From now on events are passed to kbd_event which will then call
   kbd_keycode.

 - kbd_keycode will oops on a NULL pointer dereference on vc->vc_tty

e8edc6e03a Detach sched.h from mm.h
First thing mm.h does is including sched.h solely for can_do_mlock() inline
function which has "current" dereference inside. By dealing with can_do_mlock()
mm.h can be detached from sched.h which is good. See below, why.

This patch
a) removes unconditional inclusion of sched.h from mm.h
b) makes can_do_mlock() normal function in mm/mlock.c
c) exports can_do_mlock() to not break compilation
d) adds sched.h inclusions back to files that were getting it indirectly.
e) adds less bloated headers to some files (asm/signal.h, jiffies.h) that were
   getting them indirectly

Net result is:
a) mm.h users would get less code to open, read, preprocess, parse, ... if
   they don't need sched.h
b) sched.h stops being dependency for significant number of files:
   on x86_64 allmodconfig touching sched.h results in recompile of 4083 files,
   after patch it's only 3744 (-8.3%).

Cross-compile tested on

	all arm defconfigs, all mips defconfigs, all powerpc defconfigs,
	alpha alpha-up
	arm
	i386 i386-up i386-defconfig i386-allnoconfig
	ia64 ia64-up

	mips

	sparc64 sparc64-up
	um-x86_64
	x86_64 x86_64-up x86_64-defconfig x86_64-allnoconfig

as well as my two usual configs.

da7cd59ab9 [CRYPTO] api: Read module pointer before freeing algorithm
The function crypto_mod_put first frees the algorithm and then drops
the reference to its module.  Unfortunately we read the module pointer
which after freeing the algorithm and that pointer sits inside the
object that we just freed.

So this patch reads the module pointer out before we free the object.

Thanks to Luca Tettamanti for reporting this.

e9ca75b535 cciss: Fix pci_driver.shutdown while device is still active
Fix an Oops in the cciss driver caused by system shutdown while a filesystem
on a cciss device is still active.  The cciss_remove_one function only
properly removes the device if the device has been cleanly released by its
users, which is not the case when the pci_driver.shutdown method is called.

This patch adds a new cciss_shutdown function to better match the pattern
used by various SCSI drivers: deactivate device interrupts and flush caches.
It also alters the cciss_remove_one function to match and readds the
__devexit annotation that was removed when cciss_remove_one was serving as
the pci_driver.shutdown method.

223a10a981 revert "cancel_delayed_work: use del_timer() instead of del_timer_sync()"
As pointed out by Jarek Poplawski, the patch

	[WORKQUEUE]: cancel_delayed_work: use del_timer() instead of del_timer_sync()
	commit: 071b638689

was wrong, it was merged by mistake after that.

From the changelog:

	after this patch:
		...
		delayed_work_timer_fn->__queue_work() in progress.

		The latter doesn't differ from the caller's POV,

it does make a difference if the caller calls flush_workqueue() after
cancel_delayed_work(), in that case flush_workqueue() can miss this
work_struct.

b46522394d Revert "[PATCH] x86: Drop cc-options call for all options supported in gcc 3.2+"
This reverts commit c8fdd24725.

It turns out the kernel was correct, and the gcc complaint was a gcc
bug.  The preferred stack boundary is expressed not in bytes, but in the
the log2() of the preferred boundary, so "-mpreferred-stack-boundary=2"
is in fact exactly what we want, but a gcc that is compiled for x86-64
will consider it an error (because the 64-bit calling sequence says that
the stack should be 16-byte aligned) even if we are then using "-m32" to
generate 32-bit code.

98739407c5 spidernet: node-aware skbuff allocation
Spidernet was the driver I original did all the node-aware netdevice
allocation for, but after a year it still hasn't hit mainline.

3b6330ce2a gianfar: Add I/O barriers when touching buffer descriptor ownership.
The hardware must not see that is given ownership of a buffer until it is
completely written, and when the driver receives ownership of a buffer,
it must ensure that any other reads to the buffer reflect its final
state.  Thus, I/O barriers are added where required.

Without this patch, I have observed GCC reordering the setting of
bdp->length and bdp->status in gfar_new_skb.  Hardware reordering
was also theoretically possible.
