226da0dbc8 Merge branch 'core-rcu-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull RCU changes from Ingo Molnar:
 "This is the v3.5 RCU tree from Paul E.  McKenney:

 1) A set of improvements and fixes to the RCU_FAST_NO_HZ feature (with
    more on the way for 3.6).  Posted to LKML:
       https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/4/23/324 (commits 1-3 and 5),
       https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/4/16/611 (commit 4),
       https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/4/30/390 (commit 6), and
       https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/5/4/410 (commit 7, combined with
       the other commits for the convenience of the tester).

 2) Changes to make rcu_barrier() avoid disrupting execution of CPUs
    that have no RCU callbacks.  Posted to LKML:
       https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/4/23/322.

 3) A couple of commits that improve the efficiency of the interaction
    between preemptible RCU and the scheduler, these two being all that
    survived an abortive attempt to allow preemptible RCU's
    __rcu_read_lock() to be inlined.  The full set was posted to LKML at
    https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/4/14/143, and the first and third patches
    of that set remain.

 4) Lai Jiangshan's algorithmic implementation of SRCU, which includes
    call_srcu() and srcu_barrier().  A major feature of this new
    implementation is that synchronize_srcu() no longer disturbs the
    execution of other CPUs.  This work is based on earlier
    implementations by Peter Zijlstra and Paul E.  McKenney.  Posted to
    LKML: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/2/22/82.

 5) A number of miscellaneous bug fixes and improvements which were
    posted to LKML at: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/4/23/353 with
    subsequent updates posted to LKML."

ac1806572d regulator updates for 3.5
The major thing here is the addition of some helpers to factor code out
 of drivers, making a fair proportion of regulators much more just data
 rather than code which is nice.
 
 - Helpers in the core for regulators using regmap, providing generic
   implementations of the enable and voltage selection operations which
   just need data to describe them in the drivers.
 - Split out voltage mapping and voltage setting, allowing many more
   drivers to take advantage of the infrastructure for selectors.
 - Loads and loads of cleanups from Axel Lin once again, including many
   changes to take advantage of the above new framework features
 - New drivers for Ricoh RC5T583, TI TPS62362, TI TPS62363, TI TPS65913,
   TI TWL6035 and TI TWL6037.
 
 Some of the registration changes to support the core refactoring caused
 so many conflicts that eventually topic branches were abandoned for this
 release.

 "This is the bulk of the core ARM updates for this merge window.
  Included in here is a different way to handle the VIVT cache flushing
  on context switch, which should allow scheduler folk to remove a
  special case in their core code.

  We have architectured timer support here, which is a set of timers
  specified by the ARM architecture for future SoCs.  So we should see
  less variability in timer design going forward.

  The last big thing here is my cleanup to the way we handle PCI across
  ARM, fixing some oddities in some platforms which hadn't realised
  there was a way to deal with their private data already built in to
  our PCI backend.

  I've also removed support for the ARMv3 architecture; it hasn't worked
  properly for years so it seems pointless to keep it around."

1) Kill off support for sun4c and Cypress sun4m chips.

   And as a result we were able to also kill off that ugly btfixup thing

   Thanks a lot to Sam Ravnborg for his tireless efforts to get this
   going.

2) Convert sparc64 to nobootmem.  I suspect now with sparc32 being a lot
   cleaner, it should be able to fall in line and modernize in this area
   too.

3) Make sparc32 use generic clockevents, from Tkhai Kirill.

[ I fixed up the BPF rules, and tried to clean up the build rules too.
  But I don't have - or want - a sparc cross-build environment, so the

e346933365 isci update for 3.5
1/ Rework remote-node-context (RNC) handling for proper management of
    the silicon state machine in error handling and hot-plug conditions.
    Further details below, suffice to say if the RNC is mismanaged the
    silicon state machines may lock up.
 
 2/ Refactor the initialization code to be reused for suspend/resume support
 
 3/ Miscellaneous bug fixes to address discovery issues and hardware
    compatibility.
 
 RNC rework details from Jeff Skirvin:
 
 In the controller, devices as they appear on a SAS domain (or
 direct-attached SATA devices) are represented by memory structures known
 as "Remote Node Contexts" (RNCs).  These structures are transferred from
 main memory to the controller using a set of register commands; these
 commands include setting up the context ("posting"), removing the
 context ("invalidating"), and commands to control the scheduling of
 commands and connections to that remote device ("suspensions" and
 "resumptions").  There is a similar path to control RNC scheduling from
 the protocol engine, which interprets the results of command and data
 transmission and reception.
 
 In general, the controller chooses among non-suspended RNCs to find one
 that has work requiring scheduling the transmission of command and data
 frames to a target.  Likewise, when a target tries to return data back
 to the initiator, the state of the RNC is used by the controller to
 determine how to treat the incoming request. As an example, if the RNC
 is in the state "TX/RX Suspended", incoming SSP connection requests from
 the target will be rejected by the controller hardware.  When an RNC is
 "TX Suspended", it will not be selected by the controller hardware to
 start outgoing command or data operations (with certain priority-based
 exceptions).
 
 As mentioned above, there are two sources for management of the RNC
 states: commands from driver software, and the result of transmission
 and reception conditions of commands and data signaled by the controller
 hardware.  As an example of the latter, if an outgoing SSP command ends
 with a OPEN_REJECT(BAD_DESTINATION) status, the RNC state will
 transition to the "TX Suspended" state, and this is signaled by the
 controller hardware in the status to the completion of the pending
 command as well as signaled in a controller hardware event.  Examples of
 the former are included in the patch changelogs.
 
 Driver software is required to suspend the RNC in a "TX/RX Suspended"
 condition before any outstanding commands can be terminated.  Failure to
 guarantee this can lead to a complete hardware hang condition.  Earlier
 versions of the driver software did not guarantee that an RNC was
 correctly managed before I/O termination, and so operated in an unsafe
 way.
 
 Further, the driver performed unnecessary contortions to preserve the
 remote device command state and so was more complicated than it needed
 to be.  A simplifying driver assumption is that once an I/O has entered
 the error handler path without having completed in the target, the
 requirement on the driver is that all use of the sas_task must end.
 Beyond that, recovery of operation is dependent on libsas and other
 components to reset, rediscover and reconfigure the device before normal
 operation can restart.  In the driver, this simplifying assumption meant
 that the RNC management could be reduced to entry into the suspended
 state, terminating the targeted I/O request, and resuming the RNC as
 needed for device-specific management such as an SSP Abort Task or LUN
 Reset Management request.

software demands on CPU and memory resources.

This commit removes any MCA specific net drivers, and removes
any MCA specific probe/support code from drivers that were

f7112e6c9a Smack: allow for significantly longer Smack labels v4
V4 updated to current linux-security#next
Targeted for git://gitorious.org/smack-next/kernel.git

Modern application runtime environments like to use
naming schemes that are structured and generated without
human intervention. Even though the Smack limit of 23
characters for a label name is perfectly rational for
human use there have been complaints that the limit is
a problem in environments where names are composed from
a set or sources, including vendor, author, distribution
channel and application name. Names like

	softwarehouse-pgwodehouse-coolappstore-mellowmuskrats

are becoming harder to avoid. This patch introduces long
label support in Smack. Labels are now limited to 255
characters instead of the old 23.

The primary reason for limiting the labels to 23 characters
was so they could be directly contained in CIPSO category sets.
This is still done were possible, but for labels that are too
large a mapping is required. This is perfectly safe for communication
that stays "on the box" and doesn't require much coordination
between boxes beyond what would have been required to keep label
names consistent.

The bulk of this patch is in smackfs, adding and updating
administrative interfaces. Because existing APIs can't be
changed new ones that do much the same things as old ones
have been introduced.

The Smack specific CIPSO data representation has been removed
and replaced with the data format used by netlabel. The CIPSO
header is now computed when a label is imported rather than
on use. This results in improved IP performance. The smack
label is now allocated separately from the containing structure,
allowing for larger strings.

Four new /smack interfaces have been introduced as four
of the old interfaces strictly required labels be specified
in fixed length arrays.

The access interface is supplemented with the check interface:
	access  "Subject                 Object                  rwxat"
	access2 "Subject Object rwaxt"

The load interface is supplemented with the rules interface:
	load   "Subject                 Object                  rwxat"
	load2  "Subject Object rwaxt"

The load-self interface is supplemented with the self-rules interface:
	load-self   "Subject                 Object                  rwxat"
	load-self2  "Subject Object rwaxt"

The cipso interface is supplemented with the wire interface:
	cipso  "Subject                  lvl cnt  c1  c2 ..."
	cipso2 "Subject lvl cnt  c1  c2 ..."

The old interfaces are maintained for compatibility.

Pull the v3.5 RCU tree from Paul E. McKenney:

 1)	A set of improvements and fixes to the RCU_FAST_NO_HZ feature
	(with more on the way for 3.6).  Posted to LKML:
	https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/4/23/324 (commits 1-3 and 5),
	https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/4/16/611 (commit 4),
	https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/4/30/390 (commit 6), and
	https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/5/4/410 (commit 7, combined with
	the other commits for the convenience of the tester).

 2)	Changes to make rcu_barrier() avoid disrupting execution of CPUs
	that have no RCU callbacks.  Posted to LKML:
	https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/4/23/322.

 3)	A couple of commits that improve the efficiency of the interaction
	between preemptible RCU and the scheduler, these two being all
	that survived an abortive attempt to allow preemptible RCU's
	__rcu_read_lock() to be inlined.  The full set was posted to
	LKML at https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/4/14/143, and the first and
	third patches of that set remain.

 4)	Lai Jiangshan's algorithmic implementation of SRCU, which includes
	call_srcu() and srcu_barrier().  A major feature of this new
	implementation is that synchronize_srcu() no longer disturbs
	the execution of other CPUs.  This work is based on earlier
	implementations by Peter Zijlstra and Paul E. McKenney.  Posted to

fd75815f72 KEYS: Add invalidation support
Add support for invalidating a key - which renders it immediately invisible to
further searches and causes the garbage collector to immediately wake up,
remove it from keyrings and then destroy it when it's no longer referenced.

It's better not to do this with keyctl_revoke() as that marks the key to start
returning -EKEYREVOKED to searches when what is actually desired is to have the
key refetched.

To invalidate a key the caller must be granted SEARCH permission by the key.
This may be too strict.  It may be better to also permit invalidation if the
caller has any of READ, WRITE or SETATTR permission.

The primary use for this is to evict keys that are cached in special keyrings,
such as the DNS resolver or an ID mapper.

d16cf20e2f netfilter: remove ip_queue support
This patch removes ip_queue support which was marked as obsolete
years ago. The nfnetlink_queue modules provides more advanced
user-space packet queueing mechanism.

This patch also removes capability code included in SELinux that
refers to ip_queue. Otherwise, we break compilation.

Several warning has been sent regarding this to the mailing list
in the past month without anyone rising the hand to stop this
with some strong argument.

4981682cc1 netfilter: bridge: optionally set indev to vlan
if net.bridge.bridge-nf-filter-vlan-tagged sysctl is enabled, bridge
netfilter removes the vlan header temporarily and then feeds the packet
to ip(6)tables.

When the new "bridge-nf-pass-vlan-input-device" sysctl is on
(default off), then bridge netfilter will also set the
in-interface to the vlan interface; if such an interface exists.

This is needed to make iptables REDIRECT target work with
"vlan-on-top-of-bridge" setups and to allow use of "iptables -i" to
match the vlan device name.

Also update Documentation with current brnf default settings.

Resolved the iwlwifi conflict with mainline using 3-way diff posted
by John Linville and Stephen Rothwell.  In 'net' we added a bug
fix to make iwlwifi report a more accurate skb->truesize but this
conflicted with RX path changes that happened meanwhile in net-next.

In e1000e a conflict arose in the validation code for settings of
adapter->itr.  'net-next' had more sophisticated logic so that
logic was used.

0ca2997d14 netdev/of/phy: Add MDIO bus multiplexer support.
This patch adds a somewhat generic framework for MDIO bus
multiplexers.  It is modeled on the I2C multiplexer.

The multiplexer is needed if there are multiple PHYs with the same
address connected to the same MDIO bus adepter, or if there is
insufficient electrical drive capability for all the connected PHY
devices.

Conceptually it could look something like this:

                   ------------------
                   | Control Signal |
                   --------+---------

     ---------                   ---------

This framework configures the bus topology from device tree data.  The
mechanics of switching the multiplexer is left to device specific
drivers.

The follow-on patch contains a multiplexer driven by GPIO lines.

b49960a05e tcp: change tcp_adv_win_scale and tcp_rmem[2]
tcp_adv_win_scale default value is 2, meaning we expect a good citizen
skb to have skb->len / skb->truesize ratio of 75% (3/4)

In 2.6 kernels we (mis)accounted for typical MSS=1460 frame :
1536 + 64 + 256 = 1856 'estimated truesize', and 1856 * 3/4 = 1392.
So these skbs were considered as not bloated.

With recent truesize fixes, a typical MSS=1460 frame truesize is now the
more precise :
2048 + 256 = 2304. But 2304 * 3/4 = 1728.
So these skb are not good citizen anymore, because 1460 < 1728

(GRO can escape this problem because it build skbs with a too low
truesize.)

This also means tcp advertises a too optimistic window for a given
allocated rcvspace : When receiving frames, sk_rmem_alloc can hit
sk_rcvbuf limit and we call tcp_prune_queue()/tcp_collapse() too often,
especially when application is slow to drain its receive queue or in
case of losses (netperf is fast, scp is slow). This is a major latency
source.

We should adjust the len/truesize ratio to 50% instead of 75%

This patch :

1) changes tcp_adv_win_scale default to 1 instead of 2

2) increase tcp_rmem[2] limit from 4MB to 6MB to take into account
better truesize tracking and to allow autotuning tcp receive window to
reach same value than before. Note that same amount of kernel memory is
consumed compared to 2.6 kernels.

eed530b6c6 tcp: early retransmit
This patch implements RFC 5827 early retransmit (ER) for TCP.
It reduces DUPACK threshold (dupthresh) if outstanding packets are
less than 4 to recover losses by fast recovery instead of timeout.

While the algorithm is simple, small but frequent network reordering
makes this feature dangerous: the connection repeatedly enter
false recovery and degrade performance. Therefore we implement
a mitigation suggested in the appendix of the RFC that delays
entering fast recovery by a small interval, i.e., RTT/4. Currently
ER is conservative and is disabled for the rest of the connection
after the first reordering event. A large scale web server
experiment on the performance impact of ER is summarized in
section 6 of the paper "Proportional Rate Reduction for TCP”,
IMC 2011. http://conferences.sigcomm.org/imc/2011/docs/p155.pdf

Note that Linux has a similar feature called THIN_DUPACK. The
differences are THIN_DUPACK do not mitigate reorderings and is only
used after slow start. Currently ER is disabled if THIN_DUPACK is
enabled. I would be happy to merge THIN_DUPACK feature with ER if
people think it's a good idea.

ER is enabled by sysctl_tcp_early_retrans:
  0: Disables ER

  1: Reduce dupthresh to packets_out - 1 when outstanding packets < 4.

  2: (Default) reduce dupthresh like mode 1. In addition, delay
     entering fast recovery by RTT/4.
