  • Pull x32 support for x86-64 from Ingo Molnar:
    "This tree introduces the X32 binary format and execution mode for x86:
    32-bit data space binaries using 64-bit instructions and 64-bit kernel
    syscalls.

    This allows applications whose working set fits into a 32 bits address
    space to make use of 64-bit instructions while using a 32-bit address
    space with shorter pointers, more compressed data structures, etc."

    Fix up trivial context conflicts in arch/x86/{Kconfig,vdso/vma.c}

  • …m/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-asm_system

    Pull "Disintegrate and delete asm/system.h" from David Howells:
    "Here are a bunch of patches to disintegrate asm/system.h into a set of
    separate bits to relieve the problem of circular inclusion
    dependencies.

    I've built all the working defconfigs from all the arches that I can
    and made sure that they don't break.

    The reason for these patches is that I recently encountered a circular
    dependency problem that came about when I produced some patches to
    optimise get_order() by rewriting it to use ilog2().

    This uses bitops - and on the SH arch asm/bitops.h drags in
    asm-generic/get_order.h by a circuituous route involving asm/system.h.

    The main difficulty seems to be asm/system.h. It holds a number of
    low level bits with no/few dependencies that are commonly used (eg.
    memory barriers) and a number of bits with more dependencies that
    aren't used in many places (eg. switch_to()).

    These patches break asm/system.h up into the following core pieces:

    (1) asm/barrier.h

    Move memory barriers here. This already done for MIPS and Alpha.

    (2) asm/switch_to.h

    Move switch_to() and related stuff here.

    (3) asm/exec.h

    Move arch_align_stack() here. Other process execution related bits
    could perhaps go here from asm/processor.h.

    (4) asm/cmpxchg.h

    Move xchg() and cmpxchg() here as they're full word atomic ops and
    frequently used by atomic_xchg() and atomic_cmpxchg().

    (5) asm/bug.h

    Move die() and related bits.

    (6) asm/auxvec.h

    Move AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH here.

    Other arch headers are created as needed on a per-arch basis."

    Fixed up some conflicts from other header file cleanups and moving code
    around that has happened in the meantime, so David's testing is somewhat
    weakened by that. We'll find out anything that got broken and fix it..

  • Pull PCI changes (including maintainer change) from Jesse Barnes:
    "This pull has some good cleanups from Bjorn and Yinghai, as well as
    some more code from Yinghai to better handle resource re-allocation
    when enabled.

    There's also a new initcall_debug feature from Arjan which will print
    out quirk timing information to help identify slow quirks for fixing
    or refinement (Yinghai sent in a few patches to do just that once the
    new debug code landed).

    Beyond that, I'm handing off PCI maintainership to Bjorn Helgaas.
    He's been a core PCI and Linux contributor for some time now, and has
    kindly volunteered to take over. I just don't feel I have the time
    for PCI review and work that it deserves lately (I've taken on some
    other projects), and haven't been as responsive lately as I'd like, so
    I approached Bjorn asking if he'd like to manage things. He's going
    to give it a try, and I'm confident he'll do at least as well as I
    have in keeping the tree managed, patches flowing, and keeping things
    stable."

  • This one specifies where to start MSG_PEEK-ing queue data from. When
    set to negative value means that MSG_PEEK works as ususally -- peeks
    from the head of the queue always.

    When some bytes are peeked from queue and the peeking offset is non
    negative it is moved forward so that the next peek will return next
    portion of data.

    When non-peeking recvmsg occurs and the peeking offset is non negative
    is is moved backward so that the next peek will still peek the proper
    data (i.e. the one that would have been picked if there were no non
    peeking recv in between).

    The offset is set using per-proto opteration to let the protocol handle
    the locking issues and to check whether the peeking offset feature is
    supported by the protocol the socket belongs to.

  • lib: use generic pci_iomap on all architectures

    Many architectures don't want to pull in iomap.c,
    so they ended up duplicating pci_iomap from that file.
    That function isn't trivial, and we are going to modify it
    https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/11/14/183
    so the duplication hurts.

    This reduces the scope of the problem significantly,
    by moving pci_iomap to a separate file and
    referencing that from all architectures.

  • Convert from pci_scan_bus() to pci_scan_root_bus() and remove root bus
    resource fixups. This fixes the problem of "early" and "header" quirks
    seeing incorrect root bus resources.

  • This patch removes mn10300's architecture-specific 'pcibios_set_master()'
    routine for ASB2305 and lets the default PCI core based implementation
    handle PCI device 'latency timer' setup.

    No functional change.

  • The 'latency timer' of PCI devices, both Type 0 and Type 1,
    is setup in architecture-specific code [see: 'pcibios_set_master()'].
    There are two approaches being taken by all the architectures - check
    if the 'latency timer' is currently set between 16 and 255 and if not
    bring it within bounds, or, do nothing (and then there is the
    gratuitously different PA-RISC implementation).

    There is nothing architecture-specific about PCI's 'latency timer' so
    this patch pulls its setup functionality up into the PCI core by
    creating a generic 'pcibios_set_master()' function using the '__weak'
    attribute which can be used by all architectures as a default which,
    if necessary, can then be over-ridden by architecture-specific code.

    No functional change.

  • The 802.1X EAPOL handshake hostapd does requires
    knowing whether the frame was ack'ed by the peer.
    Currently, we fudge this pretty badly by not even
    transmitting the frame as a normal data frame but
    injecting it with radiotap and getting the status
    out of radiotap monitor as well. This is rather
    complex, confuses users (mon.wlan0 presence) and
    doesn't work with all hardware.

    To get rid of that hack, introduce a real wifi TX
    status option for data frame transmissions.

    This works similar to the existing TX timestamping
    in that it reflects the SKB back to the socket's
    error queue with a SCM_WIFI_STATUS cmsg that has
    an int indicating ACK status (0/1).

    Since it is possible that at some point we will
    want to have TX timestamping and wifi status in a
    single errqueue SKB (there's little point in not
    doing that), redefine SO_EE_ORIGIN_TIMESTAMPING
    to SO_EE_ORIGIN_TXSTATUS which can collect more
    than just the timestamp; keep the old constant
    as an alias of course. Currently the internal APIs
    don't make that possible, but it wouldn't be hard
    to split them up in a way that makes it possible.

    Thanks to Neil Horman for helping me figure out
    the functions that add the control messages.

  • Awhile back I removed all the CONFIG_GENERIC_TIME referecnes as
    the last of the non-GENERIC_TIME arches were converted.

    However, due to the functionality being important and around for
    awhile, there apparently were some out of tree hardware enablement
    patches that used it and have since been merged.

    This patch removes the remaining instances of GENERIC_TIME.

  • There are numerous broken references to Documentation files (in other
    Documentation files, in comments, etc.). These broken references are
    caused by typo's in the references, and by renames or removals of the
    Documentation files. Some broken references are simply odd.

    Fix these broken references, sometimes by dropping the irrelevant text
    they were part of.

  • After changing all consumers of atomics to include , we
    ran into some compile time errors due to this dependency chain:

    linux/atomic.h
    -> asm/atomic.h
    -> asm-generic/atomic-long.h

    where atomic-long.h could use funcs defined later in linux/atomic.h
    without a prototype. This patches moves the code that includes
    asm-generic/atomic*.h to linux/atomic.h.

    Archs that need need to select
    CONFIG_GENERIC_ATOMIC64 from now on (some of them used to include it
    unconditionally).

    Compile tested on i386 and x86_64 with allnoconfig.
