      Change last "i386" to X86-32 as is used throughout the rest of the file.
Change combination of X86-32,X86-64 to just X86, as is done throughout the
rest of the file.

Add a note that hyphens and underscores are equivalent in parameter names,
with examples.

      fbdev: fix fillrect for 24bpp modes · bdca0f9b
      Michal Januszewski authored 
      The software fillrect routines do not work properly when the number of
pixels per machine word is not an integer.  To see that, run the following
command on a fbdev console with a 24bpp video mode, using a
non-accelerated driver such as (u)vesafb:

  reset ; echo -e '\e[41mtest\e[K'

The expected result is 'test' displayed on a line with red background.
Instead of that, 'test' has a red background, but the rest of the line
(rendered using fillrect()) contains a distored colorful pattern.

This patch fixes the problem by correctly computing rotation shifts.  It
has been tested in a 24bpp mode on 32- and 64-bit little-endian machines.

      oom: prevent livelock when oom_kill_allocating_task is set · 184101bf
      David Rientjes authored 
      When /proc/sys/vm/oom_kill_allocating_task is set for large systems that
want to avoid the lengthy tasklist scan, it's possible to livelock if
current is ineligible for oom kill.  This normally happens when it is set
to OOM_DISABLE, but is also possible if any threads are sharing the same
->mm with a different tgid.

So change __out_of_memory() to fall back to the full task-list scan if it
was unable to kill `current'.

      fiemap: fix problem with setting FIEMAP_EXTENT_LAST · df3935ff
      Josef Bacik authored 
      Fix a problem where the generic block based fiemap stuff would not
properly set FIEMAP_EXTENT_LAST on the last extent.  I've reworked things
to keep track if we go past the EOF, and mark the last extent properly.
The problem was reported by and tested by Eric Sandeen.

      Eliminate thousands of warnings with gcc 3.2 build · 57adc4d2
      Andi Kleen authored 
      When building with gcc 3.2 I get thousands of warnings such as

include/linux/gfp.h: In function `allocflags_to_migratetype':
include/linux/gfp.h:105: warning: null format string

due to passing a NULL format string to warn_slowpath() in

#define __WARN()		warn_slowpath(__FILE__, __LINE__, NULL)

Split this case out into a separate call.  This also shrinks the kernel
slightly:

          text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
       4802274  707668  712704 6222646  5ef336 vmlinux
          text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
       4799027  703572  712704 6215303  5ed687 vmlinux

due to removeing one argument from the commonly-called __WARN().

      inotify: use GFP_NOFS in kernel_event() to work around a lockdep false-positive · 381a80e6
      Wu Fengguang authored 
      There is what we believe to be a false positive reported by lockdep.

inotify_inode_queue_event() => take inotify_mutex => kernel_event() =>
kmalloc() => SLOB => alloc_pages_node() => page reclaim => slab reclaim =>
dcache reclaim => inotify_inode_is_dead => take inotify_mutex => deadlock

The plan is to fix this via lockdep annotation, but that is proving to be
quite involved.

The patch flips the allocation over to GFP_NFS to shut the warning up, for
the 2.6.30 release.

Hopefully we will fix this for real in 2.6.31.  I'll queue a patch in -mm
to switch it back to GFP_KERNEL so we don't forget.

      proc: avoid information leaks to non-privileged processes · f83ce3e6
      Jake Edge authored 
      By using the same test as is used for /proc/pid/maps and /proc/pid/smaps,
only allow processes that can ptrace() a given process to see information
that might be used to bypass address space layout randomization (ASLR).
These include eip, esp, wchan, and start_stack in /proc/pid/stat as well
as the non-symbolic output from /proc/pid/wchan.

ASLR can be bypassed by sampling eip as shown by the proof-of-concept
code at http://code.google.com/p/fuzzyaslr/ As part of a presentation
(http://www.cr0.org/paper/to-jt-linux-alsr-leak.pdf) esp and wchan were
also noted as possibly usable information leaks as well.  The
start_stack address also leaks potentially useful information.

      Bluetooth: Fix issue with sysfs handling for connections · a67e899c
      Marcel Holtmann authored 
      Due to a semantic changes in flush_workqueue() the current approach of
synchronizing the sysfs handling for connections doesn't work anymore. The
whole approach is actually fully broken and based on assumptions that are
no longer valid.

With the introduction of Simple Pairing support, the creation of low-level
ACL links got changed. This change invalidates the reason why in the past
two independent work queues have been used for adding/removing sysfs
devices. The adding of the actual sysfs device is now postponed until the
host controller successfully assigns an unique handle to that link. So
the real synchronization happens inside the controller and not the host.

The only left-over problem is that some internals of the sysfs device
handling are not initialized ahead of time. This leaves potential access
to invalid data and can cause various NULL pointer dereferences. To fix
this a new function makes sure that all sysfs details are initialized
when an connection attempt is made. The actual sysfs device is only
registered when the connection has been successfully established. To
avoid a race condition with the registration, the check if a device is
registered has been moved into the removal work.

As an extra protection two flush_work() calls are left in place to
make sure a previous add/del work has been completed first.

      usbnet: CDC EEM support (v5) · 9f722c09
      Omar Laazimani authored 
      This introduces a CDC Ethernet Emulation Model (EEM) host side
driver to support USB EEM devices.

EEM is different from the Ethernet Control Model (ECM) currently
supported by the "CDC Ethernet" driver.  One key difference is
that it doesn't require of USB interface alternate settings to
manage interface state; some maldesigned hardware can't handle
that part of USB.  It also avoids a separate USB interface for
control and status updates.

      x86: show number of core_siblings instead of thread_siblings in /proc/cpuinfo · 35d11680
      Andreas Herrmann authored 
      Commit 7ad728f9
(cpumask: x86: convert cpu_sibling_map/cpu_core_map to cpumask_var_t)
changed the output of /proc/cpuinfo for siblings:

Example on an AMD Phenom:

  physical id   : 0
  siblings : 1
  core id	   : 3
  cpu cores  : 4

Before that commit it was:

  physical id	: 0
  siblings : 4
  core id	   : 3
  cpu cores  : 4

Instead of cpu_core_mask it now uses cpu_sibling_mask to count siblings.
This is due to the following hunk of above commit:

|  --- a/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/proc.c
|  +++ b/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/proc.c
|  @@ -14,7 +14,7 @@ static void show_cpuinfo_core(struct seq_file *m, struct cpuinf
|          if (c->x86_max_cores * smp_num_siblings > 1) {
|                  seq_printf(m, "physical id\t: %d\n", c->phys_proc_id);
|                  seq_printf(m, "siblings\t: %d\n",
|  -                          cpus_weight(per_cpu(cpu_core_map, cpu)));
|  +                          cpumask_weight(cpu_sibling_mask(cpu)));
|                  seq_printf(m, "core id\t\t: %d\n", c->cpu_core_id);

|                  seq_printf(m, "apicid\t\t: %d\n", c->apicid);

This was a mistake, because the impact line shows that this side-effect
was not anticipated:

   Impact: reduce per-cpu size for CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y

So revert the respective hunk to restore the old behavior.
