We no longer support any ARMv3 platforms, so remove the old tlbflushing
code.

This is only used by 740t, which is a v4 core and (by my reading of the
datasheet for the CPU) ignores CRm for the cp15 cache flush operation,
making the v4 cache implementation in cache-v4.S sufficient for this
CPU.

Tested with 740T core-tile on Integrator/AP baseboard.

The setup code in proc-arm740.S is completely broken and, as far as I
can tell, always has been. I was >this< close to ripping it out, when a
740t core-tile materialised in the office, so I've had a crack at fixing
things up:

	- Fix the ram/flash area calculations so that we actually set
	  the condition flags before testing them...
	- Fix the proc_info structure so that __cpu_io_mmu_flags are
	  defined as 0, placing the __cpu_flush pointer at the correct
	  offset
	- Re-number the registers used during __arm740_setup so that
	  we don't clobber the machine ID et al
	- Advertise Thumb support via the hwcaps, since 740T is the only
	  740 implementation.

There's no point having a conditional cache flush if we don't know the
state of the condition beforehand.

This patch makes the cacheflush in v4_flush_user_cache_range
unconditional.

Allocation of the Netlink notification skb can potentially fail
after changing vport configuration.  In general, we try to avoid
this by undoing any change we made but that is difficult for existing
objects.  This avoids the problem by preallocating the buffer (which
is fixed size).

srmmu_nocache_bitmap is cleared by bit_map_init().  But bit_map_init()
attempts to clear by memset(), so it can't clear the trailing edge of
bitmap properly on big-endian architecture if the number of bits is not
a multiple of BITS_PER_LONG.

Actually, the number of bits in srmmu_nocache_bitmap is not always
a multiple of BITS_PER_LONG.  It is calculated as below:

        bitmap_bits = srmmu_nocache_size >> SRMMU_NOCACHE_BITMAP_SHIFT;

srmmu_nocache_size is decided proportionally by the amount of system RAM
and it is rounded to a multiple of PAGE_SIZE.  SRMMU_NOCACHE_BITMAP_SHIFT
is defined as (PAGE_SHIFT - 4).  So it can only be said that bitmap_bits
is a multiple of 16.

This fixes the problem by using bitmap_clear() instead of memset()
in bit_map_init() and this also uses BITS_TO_LONGS() to calculate correct
size at bitmap allocation time.

    mac80211: fix idle handling sequence

broke the wireless status LED. The reason is that
we now call ieee80211_idle_off() when the channel
context is assigned, and that doesn't recalculate
the LED state. Fix this by making that function a
wrapper around most of idle recalculation while

If authentication (or association with FT) is requested by
userspace, mac80211 currently doesn't tell cfg80211 that it
disconnected from the AP. That leaves inconsistent state:
cfg80211 thinks it's connected while mac80211 thinks it's
not. Typically this won't last long, as soon as mac80211
reports the new association to cfg80211 the old one goes
away. If, however, the new authentication or association
doesn't succeed, then cfg80211 will forever think the old
one still exists and will refuse attempts to authenticate
or associate with the AP it thinks it's connected to.

Anders reported that this leads to it taking a very long
time to reconnect to a network, or never even succeeding.
I tested this with an AP hacked to never respond to auth
frames, and one that works, and with just those two the
system never recovers because one won't work and cfg80211
thinks it's connected to the other so refuses connections
to it.

To fix this, simply make mac80211 tell cfg80211 when it is
no longer connected to the old AP, while authenticating or
associating to a new one.

…ing the id_map

When we require privilege for setting /proc/<pid>/uid_map or
/proc/<pid>/gid_map no longer allow an unprivileged user to
open the file and pass it to a privileged program to write
to the file.

Instead when privilege is required require both the opener and the
writer to have the necessary capabilities.

I have tested this code and verified that setting /proc/<pid>/uid_map
fails when an unprivileged user opens the file and a privielged user
attempts to set the mapping, that unprivileged users can still map
their own id, and that a privileged users can still setup an arbitrary
mapping.

Changing uid/gid/projid mappings doesn't change your id within the
namespace; it reconfigures the namespace.  Unprivileged programs should
*not* be able to write these files.  (We're also checking the privileges

Given the write-once nature of these files and the other security

the code does:

	reason = skb->data[3];

Also LMREASON has a couple other values which don't have entries in the

A number of LTE devices from different vendors all suffer from the
same firmware bug: Most of the packets received from the device while
it is attached to a LTE network will not have an ethernet header. The
devices work as expected when attached to 2G or 3G networks, sending
an ethernet header with all packets.

This driver is not aware of which network the modem attached to, and
even if it were there are still some packet types which are always
received with the header intact.

All devices supported by this driver have severely limited
networking capabilities:
 - can only transmit IPv4, IPv6 and possibly ARP
 - can only support a single host hardware address at any time
 - will only do point-to-point communcation with the host

Because of this, we are able to reliably identify any bogus raw IP
packets by simply looking at the 4 IP version bits.  All we need to
do is to avoid 4 or 6 in the first digit of the mac address.  This
workaround ensures this, and fix up the received packets as necessary.

Given the distribution of the bug, it is believed that the source is
the chipset vendor.  The devices which are verified to be affected are:
 Huawei E392u-12 (Qualcomm MDM9200)
 Pantech UML290  (Qualcomm MDM9600)
 Novatel USB551L (Qualcomm MDM9600)
 Novatel E362    (Qualcomm MDM9600)

It is believed that the bug depend on firmware revision, which means
that possibly all devices based on the above mentioned chipset may be
affected if we consider all available firmware revisions.

The information about affected devices and versions is likely
incomplete.  As the additional overhead for packets not needing this
fixup is very small, it is considered acceptable to apply the
workaround to all devices handled by this driver.

The bogus address is always the same, and matches the address
suggested by many devices as a default address.  It is likely a
hardcoded firmware default.

The circumstances where this bug has been observed indicates that
the trigger is related to timing or some other factor the host
cannot control. Repeating the exact same configuration sequence
that caused it to trigger once, will not necessarily cause it to
trigger the next time. Reproducing the bug is therefore difficult.
This opens up a possibility that the bug is more common than we can
confirm, because affected devices often will work properly again
after a reset.  A procedure most users are likely to try out before
reporting a bug.

Unconditionally rewriting the destination address if the first digit
of the received packet is 0, is considered an acceptable compromise
since we already have to inspect this digit.  The simplification will
cause unnecessary rewrites if the real address starts with 0, but this
is still better than adding additional tests for this particular case.

We normally trust and use the CDC functional descriptors provided by a
number of devices.  But some of these will erroneously list the address
reserved for the device end of the link.  Attempting to use this on

Work around this bug by ignoring the functional descriptor and assign a

====================
This series adds workarounds for 3 different firmware bugs, each
preventing the affected devices from working at all. I therefore
humbly request that these fixes go to stable-3.8 (if still
maintained) and 3.9 (either via net if still possible, or via
stable if not).

All 3 workarounds are applied to all devices supported by the driver.
Adding quirks for specific devices was considered as an alternative,
but was rejected because we have too little information about the
exact distribution of the buggy firmwares. All we know is that the
same bug shows up in devices from at least 3 different, and presumably
independent, vendors.

The workarounds have instead been designed to automatically apply
when necessary, and to have as little impact as possible on unaffected
devices.  The series has been tested on a number of devices both with
and without these bugs.

The series should apply cleanly to net/master, net-next/master and
stable/linux-3.8.y

sufficient, and avoids this link-time error.

For each CPU vendor that implements CPU microcode patching, there will
be a minimum family for which this is implemented.  Verify this
minimum level of support.

This can be done in the dispatch function or early in the application
functions.  Doing the latter turned out to be somewhat awkward because
of the ineviable split between the BSP and the AP paths, and rather
than pushing deep into the application functions, do this in
the dispatch function.

Commit 257b535 ("scm: Capture the full credentials of the scm
sender") changed the credentials passing code to pass in the effective
uid/gid instead of the real uid/gid.

Obviously this doesn't matter most of the time (since normally they are
the same), but it results in differences for suid binaries when the wrong
uid/gid ends up being used.

This just undoes that (presumably unintentional) part of the commit.

    from Arnd Bergmann.

 2) Once an improper offload setting is detected on an SKB we don't rate
    limit the log message so we can very easily live lock.  From Ben
    Greear.

 3) Openvswitch cannot report vport configuration changes reliably
    because it didn't preallocate the netlink notification message
    before changing state.  From Jesse Gross.

 9) Fix TSO races in qlcnic driver, from Sritej Velaga.

10) In bnx2x the kernel driver and UNDI firmware can try to program the
    chip at the same time, resulting in corruption.  Add proper
    synchronization.  From Dmitry Kravkov.

11) Fix corruption of status block in firmware ram in bxn2x, from Ariel
    Elior.

12) Fix load balancing hash regression of bonding driver in forwarding
    configurations, from Eric Dumazet.

    all the right spots, from Eric Dumazet.

14) Fix several bonding bugs having to do with address manintainence,
    including not removing address when configuration operations
    encounter errors, missed locking on the address lists, missing
    refcounting on VLAN objects, etc.  All from Nikolay Aleksandrov.

15) Add workarounds for firmware bugs in LTE qmi_wwan devices, wherein
    the devices fail to add a proper ethernet header while on LTE
    networks but otherwise properly do so on 2G and 3G ones.  From Bjørn
    Mork.

Pull x86 fixes from Peter Anvin:
 "Three groups of fixes:

   1. Make sure we don't execute the early microcode patching if family
      < 6, since it would touch MSRs which don't exist on those
      families, causing crashes.

   2. The Xen partial emulation of HyperV can be dealt with more
      gracefully than just disabling the driver.

   3. More EFI variable space magic.  In particular, variables hidden
      from runtime code need to be taken into account too."

Pull kdump fixes from Peter Anvin:
 "The kexec/kdump people have found several problems with the support
  for loading over 4 GiB that was introduced in this merge cycle.  This
  is partly due to a number of design problems inherent in the way the
  various pieces of kdump fit together (it is pretty horrifically manual
  in many places.)

  After a *lot* of iterations this is the patchset that was agreed upon,
  but of course it is now very late in the cycle.  However, because it
  changes both the syntax and semantics of the crashkernel option, it
  would be desirable to avoid a stable release with the broken
  interfaces."

I'm not happy with the timing, since originally the plan was to release
the final 3.9 tomorrow.  But apparently I'm doing an -rc8 instead...

* 'x86-kdump-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
  kexec: use Crash kernel for Crash kernel low
  x86, kdump: Change crashkernel_high/low= to crashkernel=,high/low
  x86, kdump: Retore crashkernel= to allocate under 896M
  x86, kdump: Set crashkernel_low automatically
I'm going to do an -rc8, so I'm just going to do this rather than delay
it any further. They are arguably stable material anyway.
