6d0124fc06 powerpc: Fix interrupt-tree parsing
The interrupt-tree parsing code wasn't offsetting interrupt numbers
by 16 on 32-bit platforms with an i8259 interrupt controller, and
it was confused about the encoding of interrupt sense and level
(which is different for i8259 and openpic interrupt controllers,
just to make things interesting).

033ef338b6 powerpc: Merge rtas.c into arch/powerpc/kernel
This splits arch/ppc64/kernel/rtas.c into arch/powerpc/kernel/rtas.c,
which contains generic RTAS functions useful on any CHRP platform,
and arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/rtas-fw.[ch], which contain
some pSeries-specific firmware flashing bits.  The parts of rtas.c
that are to do with pSeries-specific error logging are protected
by a new CONFIG_RTAS_ERROR_LOGGING symbol.  The inclusion of rtas.o
is controlled by the CONFIG_PPC_RTAS symbol, and the relevant
platforms select that.

f9bd170a87 powerpc: Merge i8259.c into arch/powerpc/sysdev
This changes the parameters for i8259_init so that it takes two
parameters: a physical address for generating an interrupt
acknowledge cycle, and an interrupt number offset.  i8259_init
now sets the irq_desc[] for its interrupts; all the callers
were doing this, and that code is gone now.  This also defines
a CONFIG_PPC_I8259 symbol to select i8259.o for inclusion, and
makes the platforms that need it select that symbol.

60dda2565b [PATCH] powerpc: some prom.c cleanups
On !CONFIG_PPC_MULTIPLATFORM _machine is defined as 0.  This is ok, but
we can't assign a value to _machine then.

We may not have CONFIG_PCI available, so only build in support for
find_parent_pci_resource(), request_OF_resource(), release_OF_resource()
if PCI is enabled.  This is probably not the long term fix but works out
for now.

Make reg_property64 contain 64-bit elements on a 32-bit machine.

Mark the deprecated prom.c functions as __deprecated.

444d1d9bb5 [PATCH] qlogic lockup fix
If qla2x00_probe_one()'s call to qla2x00_iospace_config() fails, we call
qla2x00_free_device() to clean up.  But because ha->dpc_pid hasn't been set
yet, qla2x00_free_device() tries to stop a kernel thread which hasn't started
yet.  It does wait_for_completion() against an uninitialised completion struct
and the kernel hangs up.

Fix it by initialising ha->dpc_pid a bit earlier.

a69ac4a78d [PATCH] posix-timers: fix posix_cpu_timer_set() vs run_posix_cpu_timers() race
This might be harmless, but looks like a race from code inspection (I
was unable to trigger it).  I must admit, I don't understand why we
can't return TIMER_RETRY after 'spin_unlock(&p->sighand->siglock)'
without doing bump_cpu_timer(), but this is what original code does.

posix_cpu_timer_set:

	read_lock(&tasklist_lock);

	spin_lock(&p->sighand->siglock);
	list_del_init(&timer->it.cpu.entry);
	spin_unlock(&p->sighand->siglock);

We are probaly deleting the timer from run_posix_cpu_timers's 'firing'
local list_head while run_posix_cpu_timers() does list_for_each_safe.

Various bad things can happen, for example we can just delete this timer
so that list_for_each() will not notice it and run_posix_cpu_timers()
will not reset '->firing' flag. In that case,

	....

	if (timer->it.cpu.firing) {
		read_unlock(&tasklist_lock);
		timer->it.cpu.firing = -1;
		return TIMER_RETRY;
	}

sys_timer_settime() goes to 'retry:', calls posix_cpu_timer_set() again,
it returns TIMER_RETRY ...

do_exit() clears ->it_##clock##_expires, but nothing prevents
another cpu to attach the timer to exiting process after that.

After exit_notify() does 'write_unlock_irq(&tasklist_lock)' and
before do_exit() calls 'schedule() local timer interrupt can find
tsk->exit_state != 0. If that state was EXIT_DEAD (or another cpu
does sys_wait4) interrupted task has ->signal == NULL.

At this moment exiting task has no pending cpu timers, they were cleaned
up in __exit_signal()->posix_cpu_timers_exit{,_group}(), so we can just
return from irq.

108150ea78 [PATCH] posix-timers: fix cleanup_timers() and run_posix_cpu_timers() races
1. cleanup_timers() sets timer->task = NULL under tasklist + ->sighand locks.
   That means that this code in posix_cpu_timer_del() and posix_cpu_timer_set()

   		lock_timer(timer);
		if (timer->task == NULL)
			return;
		read_lock(tasklist);
		put_task_struct(timer->task)

   is racy. With this patch timer->task modified and accounted only under
   timer->it_lock. Sadly, this means that dead task_struct won't be freed
   until timer deleted or armed.

2. run_posix_cpu_timers() collects expired timers into local list under
   tasklist + ->sighand again. That means that posix_cpu_timer_del()
   should check timer->it.cpu.firing under these locks too.

Fix a bug which was reported and diagnosed by
Stefan Jones <stefan.jones@churchillrandoms.co.uk>

IDR trees include a cache of idr_layer objects.  There's no way to destroy
this cache, so when we discard an overall idr tree we end up leaking some
memory.

Add and use idr_destroy() for this.  v9fs and infiniband also need to use
idr_destroy() to avoid leaks.

Or, we make the cache global, like radix_tree_preload().  Which is probably
better.  Later.

20c19e4179 [PATCH] SELinux: handle sel_make_bools() failure in selinuxfs
This patch fixes error handling in sel_make_bools(), where currently we'd
get a memory leak via security_get_bools() and try to kfree() the wrong
pointer if called again.

282c1f5eba [PATCH] selinux: Fix NULL deref in policydb_destroy
This patch fixes a possible NULL dereference in policydb_destroy, where
p->type_attr_map can be NULL if policydb_destroy is called to clean up a
partially loaded policy upon an error during policy load.  Please apply.

8766ce4101 [PATCH] aio syscalls are not checked by lsm
Another case of missing call to security_file_permission: aio functions
(namely, io_submit) does not check credentials with security modules.

Below is the simple patch to the problem.  It seems that it is enough to
check for rights at the request submission time.

4196c3af25 cardbus: limit IO windows to 256 bytes
That's what we've always historically done, and bigger windows seem to
confuse some cardbus bridges. Or something.

Alan reports that this makes the ThinkPad 600x series work properly
again: the 4kB IO window for some reason made IDE DMA not work, which
makes IDE painfully slow even if it works after DMA timeouts.

e80eda94d3 Posix timers: limit number of timers firing at once
Bursty timers aren't good for anybody, very much including latency for
other programs when we trigger lots of timers in interrupt context.  So
set a random limit, after which we'll handle the rest on the next timer
tick.
