Commit f072181e ("kconfig: drop the ""trying to assign nonexistent symbol" warning") simply dropped the warnings, but it does a little more than that, it also marks the current .config as needed saving, so add this back.

Recent changes to oldconfig have mixed up the silentoldconfig handling, so this fixes that by clearly separating that special mode, e.g. KCONFIG_NOSILENTUPDATE is only relevant here, the .config is written as needed. This will also properly close Bug 11230. Signed-off-by: Roman Zippel <zippel@linux-m68k.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

The VFS interface for the 'd_compare()' is a bit special (read: 'odd'), because it really just essentially replaces a memcmp(). The filesystem is supposed to just compare the two names with whatever case-independent or other function. And when I say 'is supposed to', I obviously mean that 'procfs does odd things, and actually looks at the dentry that we don't even pass down, rather than just the name'. Which results in problems, because we actually call d_compare before we have even verified that the dentry is still hashed at all. And that causes a problm since the inode that procfs looks at may have been free'd and the d_inode pointer is NULL. procfs just assumes that all dentries are positive, since procfs itself never generates a negative one. But memory pressure will still result in the dentry getting torn down, and as it is removed by RCU, it still remains visible on some lists - and to d_compare. If the filesystem just did a name comparison, we wouldn't care. And we could just fix procfs to know about negative dentries too. But rather than have the low-level filesystems know about internal VFS details, just move the check for a unhashed dentry up a bit, so that we will only call d_compare on dentries that are still active. The actual oops this caused didn't look like a NULL pointer dereference because procfs did a 'container_of(inode, struct proc_inode, vfs_inode)' to get at its internal proc_inode information from the inode pointer, and accessed a field below the inode. So the oops would look something like BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at fffffffffffffff0 IP: [<ffffffff802bc6c6>] proc_sys_compare+0x36/0x50 and was seen on both x86-64 (Alexey Dobriyan and Hugh Dickins) and ppc64 (Hugh Dickins).

Update the CS4270 ALSA device driver to use the new-style I2C interface. Starting with the 2.6.27 PowerPC kernel, I2C devices that have entries in the device trees can no longer be probed by old-style I2C drivers. The device tree for Freescale MPC8610 HPCD has included an entry for the CS4270 since 2.6.25, but that entry was previously ignored by the PowerPC I2C subsystem. Since that's no longer the case, the best solution is to update the CS4270 driver to a new-style interface, rather than try to revert the behavior of new PowerPC I2C subsystem.

Commit 2fd673ec which tried to remove hardreset for generic accidentally removed it for all flavors as all others were inheriting from nv_generic_ops. This patch reinstates nv_hardreset() and puts it into nv_common_ops which all flavors inherit from. nv_generic_ops now inherits from nv_common_ops and overrides .hardreset to ATA_OP_NULL. While at it, explain why nv_hardreset and ATA_OP_NULL override are necessary. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>

The current sg list traversal logic for the continuation entries doesn't advance the list pointer once all seven slots are used, so the next continuation entry (if there is one) wrongly begins again at the start of the sg list.

On x86_64 the gdb serial register structure defines the PS (also known as eflags), CS and SS registers as 4 bytes entities. This patch splits the x86_64 regnames enum into a 32 and 64 version to account for the 32 bit entities in the gdb serial packets. Also the program counter is properly filled in for the sleeping threads. Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com>

On the x86 arch, user space single step exceptions should be ignored if they occur in the kernel space, such as ptrace stepping through a system call. First check if it is kgdb that is executing a single step, then ensure it is not an accidental traversal into the user space, while in kgdb, any other time the TIF_SINGLESTEP is set, kgdb should ignore the exception. On x86, arm, mips and powerpc, the kgdb_contthread usage was inconsistent with the way single stepping is implemented in the kgdb core. The arch specific stub should always set the kgdb_cpu_doing_single_step correctly if it is single stepping. This allows kgdb to correctly process an instruction steps if ptrace happens to be requesting an instruction step over a system call. Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com>

Yet another bug was found in xfs_iext_irec_compact_full() and while the source of the bug was found it wasn't an easy task to track it down because the conditions are very difficult to reproduce. A HUGE thank-you goes to Russell Cattelan and Eric Sandeen for their significant effort in tracking down the source of this corruption. xfs_iext_irec_compact_full() and xfs_iext_irec_compact_pages() are almost identical - they both compact indirect extent lists by moving extents from subsequent buffers into earlier ones. xfs_iext_irec_compact_pages() only moves extents if all of the extents in the next buffer will fit into the empty space in the buffer before it. xfs_iext_irec_compact_full() will go a step further and move part of the next buffer if all the extents wont fit. It will then shift the remaining extents in the next buffer up to the start of the buffer. The bug here was that we did not update er_extoff and this caused extent list corruption. It does not appear that this extra functionality gains us much. Calling xfs_iext_irec_compact_pages() instead will do a good enough job at compacting the indirect list and will be quicker too. For the case in xfs_iext_indirect_to_direct() the total number of extents in the indirect list will fit into one buffer so we will never need the extra functionality of xfs_iext_irec_compact_full() there. Also xfs_iext_irec_compact_pages() doesn't need to do a memmove() (the buffers will never overlap) so we don't want the performance hit that can incur.

Commit ee1e2c82 ("IPoIB: Refresh paths instead of flushing them on SM change events") changed how paths are flushed on an SM event. This change introduces a problem if the path record query triggered by fails, causing path->ah to become NULL. A later successful path query will then trigger WARN_ON() in path_rec_completion(), and crash because path->ah has already been freed, so the ipoib_put_ah() inside the lock in path_rec_completion() may actually drop the last reference (contrary to the comment that claims this is safe). Fix this by updating path->ah and freeing old_ah only when the path record query is successful. This prevents the neighbour AH and that path AH from getting out of sync.
