One Block of the NAND Flash Array memory is reserved as
a One-Time Programmable Block memory area.
Also, 1st Block of NAND Flash Array can be used as OTP.

The OTP block can be read, programmed and locked using the same
operations as any other NAND Flash Array memory block.
OTP block cannot be erased.

OTP block is fully-guaranteed to be a valid block.

Lennert Buytenhek 73566edf9b [MTD] Convert physmap to platform driver
After dwmw2 let me know it ought to be done, I rewrote the physmap map
driver to be a platform driver.  I know zilch about the driver model,
so I probably botched it in some way, but I've done some tests on an
ixp23xx board which uses physmap, and it all seems to work.

In order to not break existing physmap users, I've added some compat
code that will instantiate a platform device iff CONFIG_MTD_PHYSMAP_LEN
is defined and != 0.  Also, I've changed the default value for
CONFIG_MTD_PHYSMAP_LEN to zero, so that people who inadvertently
compile in physmap (or new, platform-style, users of physmap) don't get
burned.

This works pretty well -- the new physmap driver is a drop-in replacement
for the old one, and works on said ixp23xx board without any code changes
needed.  (This should hold as long as users don't touch 'physmap_map'
directly.)

Once all physmap users have been converted to instantiate their own
platform devices, the compat code can go.  (Or we decide that we can
change all the in-tree users at the same time, and never merge the
compat code.)

Craig Brind 3e0d167a6b [PATCH] via-rhine: zero pad short packets on Rhine I ethernet cards
Fixes Rhine I cards disclosing fragments of previously transmitted frames
in new transmissions.

Before transmission, any socket buffer (skb) shorter than the ethernet
minimum length of 60 bytes was zero-padded.  On Rhine I cards the data can
later be copied into an aligned transmission buffer without copying this
padding.  This resulted in the transmission of the frame with the extra
bytes beyond the provided content leaking the previous contents of this
buffer on to the network.

Now zero-padding is repeated in the local aligned buffer if one is used.

Following a suggestion from the via-rhine maintainer, no attempt is made
here to avoid the duplicated effort of padding the skb if it is known that
an aligned buffer will definitely be used.  This is to make the change
"obviously correct" and allow it to be applied to a stable kernel if
necessary.  There is no change to the flow of control and the changes are
only to the Rhine I code path.

The patch has run on an in-service Rhine-I host without incident.  Frames
shorter than 60 bytes are now correctly zero-padded when captured on a
separate host.  I see no unusual stats reported by ifconfig, and no unusual
log messages.

The SET_NETDEV_DEV has to be done before a call to register_netdev.  With
the new patch below, the device symlink for the platform device was
created.  Unfortunately, after the 4 ls commands, the network connection
died.  No idea if the box crashed or if something else broke, lost remote

Patrick McHardy 46c5ea3c9a [NETFILTER] x_tables: fix compat related crash on non-x86
When iptables userspace adds an ipt_standard_target, it calculates the size
of the entire entry as:

sizeof(struct ipt_entry) + XT_ALIGN(sizeof(struct ipt_standard_target))

ipt_standard_target looks like this:

  struct xt_standard_target
  {
        struct xt_entry_target target;
        int verdict;
  };

xt_entry_target contains a pointer, so when compiled for 64 bit the
structure gets an extra 4 byte of padding at the end. On 32 bit
architectures where iptables aligns to 8 byte it will also have 4
byte padding at the end because it is only 36 bytes large.

The compat_ipt_standard_fn in the kernel adjusts the offsets by

  sizeof(struct ipt_standard_target) - sizeof(struct compat_ipt_standard_target),

which will always result in 4, even if the structure from userspace
was already padded to a multiple of 8. On x86 this works out by
accident because userspace only aligns to 4, on all other
architectures this is broken and causes incorrect adjustments to
the size and following offsets.

Thanks to Linus for lots of debugging help and testing.

Mikael Pettersson 160bd18e5e [PATCH] x86_64: make PC Speaker driver work
The PC Speaker driver's ->probe() routine doesn't even get called in the
64-bit kernels.  The reason for that is that the arch code apparently has
to explictly add a "pcspkr" platform device in order for the driver core to
call the ->probe() routine.  arch/i386/kernel/setup.c unconditionally adds
a "pcspkr" device, but the x86_64 kernel has no code at all related to the
PC Speaker.

The patch below copies the relevant code from i386 to x86_64, which makes
the PC Speaker work for me on x86_64.

Christoph Lameter 4c28f81193 [PATCH] page migration: Fix fallback behavior for dirty pages
Currently we check PageDirty() in order to make the decision to swap out
the page.  However, the dirty information may be only be contained in the
ptes pointing to the page.  We need to first unmap the ptes before checking
for PageDirty().  If unmap is successful then the page count of the page
will also be decreased so that pageout() works properly.

This is a fix necessary for 2.6.17.  Without this fix we may migrate dirty
pages for filesystems without migration functions.  Filesystems may keep
pointers to dirty pages.  Migration of dirty pages can result in the
filesystem keeping pointers to freed pages.

Unmapping is currently not be separated out from removing all the
references to a page and moving the mapping.  Therefore try_to_unmap will
be called again in migrate_page() if the writeout is successful.  However,
it wont do anything since the ptes are already removed.

The coming updates to the page migration code will restructure the code
so that this is no longer necessary.

Jeff Dike a4b741e380 [PATCH] uml: uml-makefile-nicer uses SYMLINK incorrectly
Blaisorblade's uml-makefile-nicer makes a V=0 build say SYMLINK where
what's happening is really a LINK.

Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso cead61a671 [PATCH] uml: export symbols added by GCC hardened
GCC hardened introduces additional symbol refererences (for the canary and
friends), also in modules - add weak export_symbols for them.  We already
tested that the weak declaration creates no problem on both GCC's providing
the function definition and on GCC's which don't provide it.

Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso 7b12b91379 [PATCH] uml: cleanup unprofile expression and build infrastructure
*) Rather than duplicate in various buggy ways the application of
   CFLAGS_NO_HARDENING and UNPROFILE (which apply to the same files),
   centralize it in Makefile.rules.  UNPROFILE_OBJS mustn't be listed in
   USER_OBJS but are compiled as such.

I've also verified that unprofile didn't work in the current form, because we
set _c_flags directly (using CFLAGS and not USER_CFLAGS, which is wrong),
which is normally used by c_flags, but we also override c_flags for all
USER_OBJS, and there we don't call unprofile.

Instead it only worked for unmap.o, the only one which wasn't a USER_OBJ.

We need to set c_flags (which is not a public Kbuild API) to clear a lot of
compilation flags like -nostdinc which Kbuild forces on everything.

*) Rather than $(CFLAGS_$(notdir $@)), which expands to CFLAGS_anObj.s when
   building "anObj.s", use $(CFLAGS_$(*F).o) which always accesses
   CFLAGS_anObj.o, like done by Kbuild.

*) Make c_flags apply to all targets having the same basename, rather than
   listing .s, .i, .lst and .o, with the use (which I tested) of

	$(USER_OBJS:.o=.%): c_flags = ...

and of

 -      $(obj)/unmap.c: _c_flags = ...
 +      $(obj)/unmap.%: _c_flags = ...
