Added snd_ctl_add_slave_uncached() function to add a slave element
with volatile controls. The values of normal slave elements are
supposed to be cachable, i.e. they are changed only via the put
callbacks. OTOH, when a slave element is volatile and its values may
be changed by other reason (e.g. hardware status change), the values
will get inconsistent.
The new function allows the slave elements with volatile changes.
When the slave is tied with this call, the native get callback is
issued at each time so that the values are always updated.

The cacheid_init() function assumes that if cpu_architecture() returns
7, the caches are VIPT_NONALIASING. The cpu_architecture() function
returns the version of the supported MMU features (e.g. TEX remapping)
but it doesn't make any assumptions about the cache type. The patch adds
the checking of the Cache Type Register for the ARMv7 format.

This reverts commit 155b25bcc28631a5b5230191aa3f56c40dfffa3f, which was
totally wrong - the "embedded" options still exists (very much so) even
on non-embedded platforms.
It's just that we don't bother with actually asking about them when
we're not embedded, we just take their default values (which is usually
'y' - the options add features that may not be worth it in a constrained
environment).

This is done by
1) Wake up lock waiters when we close the master file descriptor.
Not when the master structure is removed, since the latter
requires the waiters themselves to release the refcount on the
master structure -> Deadlock.
2) Send a SIGTERM to all clients waiting for the lock.
Normally these clients will get a SIGPIPE when the X server dies,
but clients may also spin trying to grab the DRM lock, without
getting any sort of notification.

On x86-64, a 32-bit process (TIF_IA32) can switch to 64-bit mode with
ljmp, and then use the "syscall" instruction to make a 64-bit system
call. A 64-bit process make a 32-bit system call with int $0x80.
In both these cases under CONFIG_SECCOMP=y, secure_computing() will use
the wrong system call number table. The fix is simple: test TS_COMPAT
instead of TIF_IA32. Here is an example exploit:
/* test case for seccomp circumvention on x86-64
There are two failure modes: compile with -m64 or compile with -m32.
The -m64 case is the worst one, because it does "chmod 777 ." (could
be any chmod call). The -m32 case demonstrates it was able to do
stat(), which can glean information but not harm anything directly.
A buggy kernel will let the test do something, print, and exit 1; a
fixed kernel will make it exit with SIGKILL before it does anything.

There was a theoretical possibility to a race between arming a page in
post_kmmio_handler() and disarming the page in
release_kmmio_fault_page():
cpu0 cpu1
------------------------------------------------------------------
mmiotrace shutdown
enter release_kmmio_fault_page
fault on the page
disarm the page
disarm the page
handle the MMIO access
re-arm the page
put the page on release list
remove_kmmio_fault_pages()
fault on the page
page not known to mmiotrace
fall back to do_page_fault()
*KABOOM*
(This scenario also shows the double disarm case which is allowed.)
Fixed by acquiring kmmio_lock in post_kmmio_handler() and checking
if the page is being released from mmiotrace.

Some Toshiba laptops have another ALC268 codec on slot#3 that conflicts
with the primary codec. The codec#3 is for the digital I/O, and should
be fixed by the driver, but it'd need a bunch of changes.
So, let's fix the probe problem temporarily by setting the default
probe_mask value.

The Ericsson F3507g wireless broadband module provides a CDC Ethernet
compliant interface, but identifies it as a "Mobile Direct Line" CDC
subclass, thereby preventing the CDC Ethernet class driver from picking
it up. This patch adds the device id to cdc_ether.c as a workaround.
Ericsson has provided a "class" driver for this device:
http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-net/2008/10/28/3832094
But closer inspection of that driver reveals that it adds little more
than duplication of code from cdc_ether.c. See also

This is 2nd attempt to implement the initialization/reading of MAC address
from EEPROM. The first used PCI's VPD and there were some problems, some
devices are not able to read EEPROM content by VPD. The 2nd one uses direct
access to EEPROM through bit-banging interface and my testing results seem
to be much better.
I tested 5 systems each with different Realtek NICs and I didn't find any
problem. AFAIK Francois's NICs also works fine.
Original description:
This fixes the problem when MAC address is set by ifconfig or by
ip link commands and this address is stored in the device after
reboot. The power-off is needed to get right MAC address.
This is problem when Xen daemon is running because it renames the device
name from ethX to pethX and sets its MAC address to FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF.
After reboot the device is still using FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF.

Rick McNeal from LSI identified a panic in selinux_netlbl_inode_permission()
caused by a certain sequence of SUNRPC operations. The problem appears to be
due to the lack of NULL pointer checking in the function; this patch adds the
pointer checks so the function will exit safely in the cases where the socket
is not completely initialized.

There's conflicting assumptions in shifting, the caller assumes
that dupsack results in S'ed skbs (or a part of it) for sure but
never gave a hint to tcp_sacktag_one when dsack is actually in
use. Thus DSACK retrans_out -= pcount was not taken and the
counter became out of sync. Remove obstacle from that information
flow to get DSACKs accounted in tcp_sacktag_one as expected.
