9e26476243 alarmtimers: Remove period from alarm structure
Now that periodic alarmtimers are managed by the handler function,
remove the period value from the alarm structure and let the handlers
manage the interval on their own.

dce75a8c71 alarmtimers: Add alarm_forward functionality
In order to avoid wasting time expiring and re-adding very high freq
periodic alarmtimers, introduce alarm_forward() which is similar to
hrtimer_forward and moves the timer to the next future expiration time
and returns the number of overruns.

4b41308d2d alarmtimers: Change alarmtimer functions to return alarmtimer_restart values
In order to properly fix the denial of service issue with high freq
periodic alarm timers, we need to push the re-arming logic into the
alarm timer handler, much as the hrtimer code does.

This patch introduces alarmtimer_restart enum and changes the
alarmtimer handler declarations to use it as a return value. Further,
to ease following changes, it extends the alarmtimer handler functions
to also take the time at expiration. No logic is yet modified.

50d3dfb728 cfg80211/nl80211: Send AssocReq IEs to user space in AP mode
When user space SME/MLME (e.g., hostapd) is not used in AP mode, the
IEs from the (Re)Association Request frame that was processed in
firmware need to be made available for user space (e.g., RSN IE for
hostapd). Allow this to be done with cfg80211_new_sta().

4ea5454203 HID: Fix race condition between driver core and ll-driver
HID low level drivers register new devices with the HID core which then
adds the devices to the HID bus. The HID bus normally immediately probes
an appropriate driver which then handles HID input for this device.
The ll driver now uses the hid_input_report() function to report input
events for a specific device. However, if the HID bus unloads the driver
at the same time (for instance via a call to
 /sys/bus/hid/devices/<dev>/unbind) then the hdev->driver pointer may be
used by hid_input_report() and hid_device_remove() at the same time
which may cause hdev->driver to point to invalid memory.

This fix adds a semaphore to every hid device which protects
hdev->driver from asynchronous access. This semaphore is locked during
driver *_probe and *_remove and also inside hid_input_report(). The
*_probe and *_remove functions may sleep so the semaphore is good here,
however, hid_input_report() is in atomic context and hence only uses
down_trylock(). If it cannot acquire the lock it simply drops the input
package.

The low-level drivers report input events synchronously so
hid_input_report() should never be entered twice at the same time on the
same device. Hence, the lock should always be available. But if the
driver is currently probed/removed then the lock is not available and
dropping the package should be safe because this is what would have
happened if the package arrived some milliseconds earlier/later.

This also fixes another race condition while probing drivers:
First the *_probe function of the driver is called and only if that
succeeds, the related input device of hidinput is registered. If the low
level driver reports input events after the *_probe function returned
but before the input device is registered, then a NULL pointer
dereference will occur. (Equivalently on driver remove function).
This is not possible anymore, since the semaphore lock drops all
incoming packages until the driver/device is fully initialized.

3ed8c26352 pcmcia: add PCMCIA_DEVICE_MANF_CARD_PROD_ID3
This is needed to match wireless cards with Intersil firmware that have
ID 0x0156:0x0002 and the third ID "Version 01.02".  Such cards are
currently matched by orinoco_cs, which doesn't support WPA.  They should
be matched by hostap_cs.

The first and the second product ID vary widely, so there are few users
with some particular IDs.  Of those, very few can submit a patch for
hostap_cs or write a useful bugreport.  It's still important to support
their hardware properly.

With PCMCIA_DEVICE_MANF_CARD_PROD_ID3, it should be possible to cover
the remaining Intersil based designs that kept the numeric ID and the
"version" of the reference design.

37fb3a30b4 fuse: fix flock
Commit a9ff4f87 "fuse: support BSD locking semantics" overlooked a
number of issues with supporing flock locks over existing POSIX
locking infrastructure:

  - it's not backward compatible, passing flock(2) calls to userspace
    unconditionally (if userspace sets FUSE_POSIX_LOCKS)

  - it doesn't cater for the fact that flock locks are automatically
    unlocked on file release

  - it doesn't take into account the fact that flock exclusive locks
    (write locks) don't need an fd opened for write.

The last one invalidates the original premise of the patch that flock
locks can be emulated with POSIX locks.

This patch fixes the first two issues.  The last one needs to be fixed
in userspace if the filesystem assumed that a write lock will happen
only on a file operned for write (as in the case of the current fuse
library).

6602a4baf4 net: Make userland include of netlink.h more sane.
Currently userland will barf when including linux/netlink.h unless it
precisely includes sys/socket.h first.  The issue is where the
definition of "sa_family_t" comes from.

We've been back and forth on how to fix this issue in the past, see:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.devel.bugs.general/622621
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/143380

Ben Hutchings suggested we take a hint from how we handle the
sockaddr_storage type.  First we define a "__kernel_sa_family_t"
to linux/socket.h that is always defined.

Then if __KERNEL__ is defined, we also define "sa_family_t" as
equal to "__kernel_sa_family_t".

Then in places like linux/netlink.h we use __kernel_sa_family_t
in user visible datastructures.

3ddcd0569c vfs: optimize inode cache access patterns
The inode structure layout is largely random, and some of the vfs paths
really do care.  The path lookup in particular is already quite D$
intensive, and profiles show that accessing the 'inode->i_op->xyz'
fields is quite costly.

We already optimized the dcache to not unnecessarily load the d_op
structure for members that are often NULL using the DCACHE_OP_xyz bits
in dentry->d_flags, and this does something very similar for the inode
ops that are used during pathname lookup.

It also re-orders the fields so that the fields accessed by 'stat' are
together at the beginning of the inode structure, and roughly in the
order accessed.

The effect of this seems to be in the 1-2% range for an empty kernel
"make -j" run (which is fairly kernel-intensive, mostly in filename
lookup), so it's visible.  The numbers are fairly noisy, though, and
likely depend a lot on exact microarchitecture.  So there's more tuning
to be done.

830c0f0edc vfs: renumber DCACHE_xyz flags, remove some stale ones
Gcc tends to generate better code with small integers, including the
DCACHE_xyz flag tests - so move the common ones to be first in the list.
Also just remove the unused DCACHE_INOTIFY_PARENT_WATCHED and
DCACHE_AUTOFS_PENDING values, their users no longer exists in the source
tree.

And add a "unlikely()" to the DCACHE_OP_COMPARE test, since we want the
common case to be a nice straight-line fall-through.
