The Linux IPv4 AH stack aligns the AH header on a 64 bit boundary
(like in IPv6). This is not RFC compliant (see RFC4302, Section
3.3.3.2.1), it should be aligned on 32 bits.
For most of the authentication algorithms, the ICV size is 96 bits.
The AH header alignment on 32 or 64 bits gives the same results.
However for SHA-256-128 for instance, the wrong 64 bit alignment results
in adding useless padding in IPv4 AH, which is forbidden by the RFC.
To avoid breaking backward compatibility, we use a new flag
(XFRM_STATE_ALIGN4) do change original behavior.

FTRACE_SYSCALLS would create events for each and every system call, even
if it had failed to map the system call's name with it's number. This
resulted in a number of events being created that would not behave as
expected.
This could happen, for example, on architectures who's symbol names are
unusual and will not match the system call name. It could also happen
with system calls which were mapped to sys_ni_syscall.
This patch changes the default system call number in the metadata to -1.
If the system call name from the metadata is not successfully mapped to
a system call number during boot, than the event initialisation routine
will now return an error, preventing the event from being created.

However now in case such gpios exist, which requires to be enabled
for a specific protocol, the responsibility lay on protocol driver.

To fasten the process of firmware download, the chip allows
disabling of the command complete event generation from host.
In these cases, only few very essential commands would have
the command complete events and hence the wait associated with
them.
So now the driver would wait for a command complete event, only
when it comes across a wait event during firmware parsing.
This would also mean we need to skip not just the change baud
rate command but also the wait for it.

The communication between ST KIM and UIM was interfaced
over the /dev/rfkill device node.
Move the interface to a simpler less abusive sysfs entry
mechanism and document it in Documentation/ABI/testing/
under sysfs-platform-kim.
Shared transport driver would now read the UART details
originally received by bootloader or firmware as platform
data.
The data read will be shared over sysfs entries for the user-space
UIM or other n/w manager/plugins to be read, and assist the driver
by opening up the UART, setting the baud-rate and installing the
line discipline.

The architecture of shared transport had begun with individual
protocols like bluetooth, fm and gps telling the shared transport
what sort of protocol they are and then expecting the ST driver
to parse the incoming data from chip and forward data only
relevant to the protocol drivers.
This change would mean each protocol drivers would also send
information to ST driver as to how to intrepret their protocol
data coming out of the chip.

Provide optional hooks for the host controller driver to override the
default DMA mapping and unmapping routines. In general, these shouldn't
be necessary unless the host controller has special DMA requirements,
such as alignment contraints. If these are not specified, the
general usb_hcd_(un)?map_urb_for_dma functions will be used instead.
Also, pass the status to unmap_urb_for_dma so it can know whether the
DMA buffer has been overwritten.
Finally, add a flag to be used by these implementations if they
allocated a temporary buffer so it can be freed properly when unmapping.

Based on a patch from Linus Walleij.
Add dmaengine based support for DMA to the MMCI driver, using the
Primecell DMA engine interface. The changes over Linus' driver are:
- rename txsize_threshold to dmasize_threshold, as this reflects the
purpose more.
- use 'mmci_dma_' as the function prefix rather than 'dma_mmci_'.
- clean up requesting of dma channels.
- don't release a single channel twice when it's shared between tx and rx.
- get rid of 'dma_enable' bool - instead check whether the channel is NULL.
- detect incomplete DMA at the end of a transfer. Some DMA controllers
(eg, PL08x) are unable to be configured for scatter DMA and also listen
to all four DMA request signals [BREQ,SREQ,LBREQ,LSREQ] from the MMCI.
They can do one or other but not both. As MMCI uses LBREQ/LSREQ for the
final burst/words, PL08x does not transfer the last few words.
- map and unmap DMA buffers using the DMA engine struct device, not the
MMCI struct device - the DMA engine is doing the DMA transfer, not us.
- avoid double-unmapping of the DMA buffers on MMCI data errors.
- don't check for negative values from the dmaengine tx submission
function - Dan says this must never fail.
- use new dmaengine helper functions rather than using the ugly function
pointers directly.
- allow DMA code to be fully optimized away using dma_inprogress() which
is defined to constant 0 if DMA engine support is disabled.
- request maximum segment size from the DMA engine struct device and
set this appropriately.
- removed checking of buffer alignment - the DMA engine should deal with
its own restrictions on buffer alignment, not the individual DMA engine
users.
- removed setting DMAREQCTL - this confuses some DMA controllers as it
causes LBREQ to be asserted for the last seven transfers, rather than
six SREQ and one LSREQ.
- removed burst setting - the DMA controller should not burst past the
transfer size required to complete the DMA operation.

Update the 'phys_index' property of a the memory_block struct to be
called start_section_nr, and add a end_section_nr property. The
data tracked here is the same but the updated naming is more in line
with what is stored here, namely the first and last section number
that the memory block spans.
The names presented to userspace remain the same, phys_index for
start_section_nr and end_phys_index for end_section_nr, to avoid breaking
anything in userspace.
This also updates the node sysfs code to be aware of the new capability for
a memory block to contain multiple memory sections and be aware of the memory
block structure name changes (start_section_nr). This requires an additional
parameter to unregister_mem_sect_under_nodes so that we know which memory
section of the memory block to unregister.

Currently the syscall_meta structures for the syscall tracepoints are
placed in the __syscall_metadata section, and at link time, the linker
makes one large array of all these syscall metadata structures. On boot
up, this array is read (much like the initcall sections) and the syscall
data is processed.
The problem is that there is no guarantee that gcc will place complex
structures nicely together in an array format. Two structures in the
same file may be placed awkwardly, because gcc has no clue that they
are suppose to be in an array.
A hack was used previous to force the alignment to 4, to pack the
structures together. But this caused alignment issues with other
architectures (sparc).
Instead of packing the structures into an array, the structures' addresses
are now put into the __syscall_metadata section. As pointers are always the
natural alignment, gcc should always pack them tightly together
(otherwise initcall, extable, etc would also fail).
By having the pointers to the structures in the section, we can still
iterate the trace_events without causing unnecessary alignment problems
with other architectures, or depending on the current behaviour of
gcc that will likely change in the future just to tick us kernel developers
off a little more.
The __syscall_metadata section is also moved into the .init.data section
as it is now only needed at boot up.

Make the tracepoints more robust, making them solid enough to handle compiler
changes by not relying on anything based on compiler-specific behavior with
respect to structure alignment. Implement an approach proposed by David Miller:
use an array of const pointers to refer to the individual structures, and export
this pointer array through the linker script rather than the structures per se.
It will consume 32 extra bytes per tracepoint (24 for structure padding and 8
for the pointers), but are less likely to break due to compiler changes.
History:
commit 7e066fb8 tracepoints: add DECLARE_TRACE() and DEFINE_TRACE()
added the aligned(32) type and variable attribute to the tracepoint structures
to deal with gcc happily aligning statically defined structures on 32-byte
multiples.
One attempt was to use a 8-byte alignment for tracepoint structures by applying
both the variable and type attribute to tracepoint structures definitions and
declarations. It worked fine with gcc 4.5.1, but broke with gcc 4.4.4 and 4.4.5.
The reason is that the "aligned" attribute only specify the _minimum_ alignment
for a structure, leaving both the compiler and the linker free to align on
larger multiples. Because tracepoint.c expects the structures to be placed as an
array within each section, up-alignment cause NULL-pointer exceptions due to the
extra unexpected padding.

Currently only implemented for fair class tasks.
Add a yield_to_task method() to the fair scheduling class. allowing the
caller of yield_to() to accelerate another thread in it's thread group,
task group.
Implemented via a scheduler hint, using cfs_rq->next to encourage the
target being selected. We can rely on pick_next_entity to keep things
fair, so noone can accelerate a thread that has already used its fair
share of CPU time.
This also means callers should only call yield_to when they really
mean it. Calling it too often can result in the scheduler just
ignoring the hint.

Use the buddy mechanism to implement yield_task_fair. This
allows us to skip onto the next highest priority se at every
level in the CFS tree, unless doing so would introduce gross
unfairness in CPU time distribution.
We order the buddy selection in pick_next_entity to check
yield first, then last, then next. We need next to be able
to override yield, because it is possible for the "next" and
"yield" task to be different processen in the same sub-tree
of the CFS tree. When they are, we need to go into that
sub-tree regardless of the "yield" hint, and pick the correct
entity once we get to the right level.

Oleg reported that on architectures with
__ARCH_WANT_INTERRUPTS_ON_CTXSW the IPI from
task_oncpu_function_call() can land before perf_event_task_sched_in()
and cause interesting situations for eg. perf_install_in_context().
This patch reworks the task_oncpu_function_call() interface to give a
more usable primitive as well as rework all its users to hopefully be
more obvious as well as remove the races.
While looking at the code I also found a number of races against
perf_event_task_sched_out() which can flip contexts between tasks so
plug those too.

CHOKe ("CHOose and Kill" or "CHOose and Keep") is an alternative
packet scheduler based on the Random Exponential Drop (RED) algorithm.
The core idea is:
For every packet arrival:
Calculate Qave
if (Qave < minth)
Queue the new packet
else
Select randomly a packet from the queue
if (both packets from same flow)
then Drop both the packets
else if (Qave > maxth)
Drop packet
else
Admit packet with proability p (same as RED)
