Kumar Gala 912eaa7198 [PATCH] I2C-MPC: Remove OCP device model support
All consumers of the driver MPC10x, MPC52xx, MPC824x, MPC83xx, and MPC85xx are
all using platform devices.  We can get ride of the dead code to support using
this driver with the old OCP based model

Kumar Gala 33d9e9b56d [PATCH] ppc32: Add support for Freescale e200 (Book-E) core
The e200 core is a Book-E core (similar to e500) that has a unified L1 cache
and is not cache coherent on the bus.  The e200 core also adds a separate
exception level for debug exceptions.  Part of this patch helps to cleanup a
few cases that are true for all Freescale Book-E parts, not just e500.

Lorenzo Hernández García-Hierro 09ffd94fb1 [PATCH] selinux: add executable heap check
This patch,based on sample code by Roland McGrath, adds an execheap
permission check that controls the ability to make the heap executable so
that this can be prevented in almost all cases (the X server is presently
an exception, but this will hopefully be resolved in the future) so that
even programs with execmem permission will need to have the anonymous
memory mapped in order to make it executable.

The only reason that we use a permission check for such restriction (vs.
making it unconditional) is that the X module loader presently needs it; it
could possibly be made unconditional in the future when X is changed.

The policy patch for the execheap permission is available at:

Lorenzo Hernandez García-Hierro 6b9921976f [PATCH] selinux: add executable stack check
This patch adds an execstack permission check that controls the ability to
make the main process stack executable so that attempts to make the stack
executable can still be prevented even if the process is allowed the
existing execmem permission in order to e.g.  perform runtime code
generation.  Note that this does not yet address thread stacks.  Note also
that unlike the execmem check, the execstack check is only applied on
mprotect calls, not mmap calls, as the current security_file_mmap hook is
not passed the necessary information presently.

The original author of the code that makes the distinction of the stack
region, is Ingo Molnar, who wrote it within his patch for
/proc/<pid>/maps markers.
(http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=110719881508591&w=2)

The patches also can be found at:
http://pearls.tuxedo-es.org/patches/selinux/policy-execstack.patch
http://pearls.tuxedo-es.org/patches/selinux/kernel-execstack.patch

policy-execstack.patch is the patch that needs to be applied to the policy in
order to support the execstack permission and exclude it
from general_domain_access within macros/core_macros.te.

kernel-execstack.patch adds such permission to the SELinux code within
the kernel and adds the proper permission check to the selinux_file_mprotect() hook.

Russell King 8749af6821 [PATCH] ARM: Generic Dynamic Tick Timer support for ARM, take 4
This patch adds support for Dynamic Tick Timer for ARM. Dynamic Tick is
also known as VST (Variable Scheduling Timeouts).

Dynamic Tick has been in use in the OMAP tree since last October.  The
patch is not intrusive, and does not do anything unless CONFIG_NO_IDLE_HZ
is defined.  This patch has the following fixed based on comments from
RMK:
- Time is updated before calling interrupt handlers.
- Added new interrupt flag SA_TIMER to avoid duplicate timer interrupts
- Moved struct dyn_tick_timer to time.h until we at some point probably
  have an arch independent dyn-tick.h
- Cleaned up testing for DYN_TICK_ENABLED in irq.c

 I've cleaned up this patch to fix some remaining issues:
 - Call the timer tick handler with irqs disabled, as it would be from
   a normal interrupt
 - if we have a dyn_tick, we better implement all methods.
 - generic timer_dyn_reprogram() call, to be called before sleeping
 - added command line option - "dyntick=" to allow boot-time control
   of this feature

Michael Chan bbe832c092 [TG3]: Refinements to new locking strategy.
1. Move tp->irq_sync = 0 to before the interrupt mailbox IO in

   irq_sync == 0 when interrupts are enabled.

2. Remove the tg3_enable_ints() call in tg3_reset_hw(). Interrupts are
   always enabled explicitly or through tg3_netif_start(). This is to
   prevent interrupts being enabled while poll is disabled.

3. Update trans_start with jiffies in tg3_netif_stop() to prevent false
   NETDEV WATCHDOG.

4. Pass in the proper irq_sync parameter to tg3_full_lock() depending on

David S. Miller f47c11eecc [TG3]: Eliminate all hw IRQ handler spinlocks.
Move all driver spinlocks to be taken at sw IRQ
context only.

This fixes the skb_copy() we were doing with hw
IRQs disabled (which is illegal and triggers a
BUG() with HIGHMEM enabled).  It also simplifies
the locking all over the driver tremendously.

We accomplish this feat by creating a special
sequence to synchronize with the hw IRQ handler
using a binary state and synchronize_irq().
This idea is from Herbert Xu.

Thanks to Michael Chan for helping to track down
all of the race conditions in initial versions
of this code.

Linus Torvalds 793ae77469 Add "memory" clobbers to the x86 inline asm of strncmp and friends
They don't actually clobber memory, but gcc doesn't even know they
_read_ memory, so can apparently re-order memory accesses around them.

Which obviously does the wrong thing if the memory access happens to
change the memory that the compare function is accessing..

Verified to fix a strange boot problem by Jens Axboe.
