fa157bdfe8 HID: add quirk entry for no-name keyboard (0x13ba/0x0017)
This patch (as1157) adds a no-name PS/2-to-USB keyboard+mouse adapter
to the hid-dell driver.  (The device shows up with a Product string
saying "Generic USB K/B", nothing more.)  This will force an initial
"Set-LEDs" report to be sent to the device, without which it won't
send any keystroke information.  Several bug reports mentioning this
device have been filed in various forums; the patch should resolve
them.

This is just a temporary stop-gap for 2.6.28.  A later patch for
2.6.29 will introduce a more generic mechanism for "Set-LEDs", making
this change (and the entire hid-dell driver) unnecessary.

113328306d Driver core: fix 'dynamic_debug' cmd line parameter
In testing 2.6.28-rc1, I found that passing 'dynamic_printk' on the command
line didn't activate the debug code. The problem is that dynamic_printk_setup()
(which activates the debugging) is being called before dynamic_printk_init() is
called (which initializes infrastructure). Fix this by setting setting the
state to 'DYNAMIC_ENABLED_ALL' in dynamic_printk_setup(), which will also
cause all subsequent modules to have debugging automatically started, which is
probably the behavior we want.

61fbeba11c USB: prevent autosuspend during hub initialization
This patch (as1153) fixes a potential problem in hub initialization.
Starting in 2.6.28, initialization was split into several tasks to
help speed up booting.  This opens the possibility that the hub may be
autosuspended before all the initialization tasks can complete.

Normally that wouldn't matter, but with incomplete initialization
there is a risk that the hub would never autoresume -- especially if
devices were plugged into the hub beforehand.  The solution is a
simple one-line change to suppress autosuspend until the
initialization is finished.

cde217a556 USB: fix crash when URBs are unlinked after the device is gone
This patch (as1151) protects usbcore against drivers that try to
unlink an URB after the URB's device or bus have been removed.  The
core does not currently check for this, and certain drivers can cause
a crash if they are running while an HCD is unloaded.

Certainly it would be best to fix the guilty drivers.  But a little
defensive programming doesn't hurt, especially since it appears that
quite a few drivers need to be fixed.

The patch prevents the problem by grabbing a reference to the device
while an unlink is in progress and using a new spinlock to synchronize
unlinks with device removal.  (There's no need to acquire a reference
to the bus as well, since the device structure itself keeps a
reference to the bus.)  In addition, the kerneldoc is updated to
indicate that URBs should not be unlinked after the disconnect method
returns.

15a2ee74d2 Fix incompatibility with versions of Perl less than 5.6.0
Fix headers_install.pl and headers_check.pl to be compatible with versions
of Perl less than 5.6.0.  It has been tested with Perl 5.005_03 and 5.8.8.
I realize this may not be an issue for most people, but there will still
be some that hit it, I imagine.  There are three basic issues:

1. Prior to 5.6.0 open() only used 2 arguments, and the versions of
the scripts in 2.6.27.1 use 3.
2. 5.6.0 also introduced the ability to use uninitialized scalar
variables as file handles, which the current scripts make use of.
3. Lastly, 5.6.0 also introduced the pragma 'use warnings'. We can use
the -w switch and be backwards compatible.

f03b283f08 kbuild: tag with git revision when git describe is missing
setlocalversion used to use an abbreviated git commit sha1 to generate the

"kbuild: change CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO to use a git-describe-ish format"
to use git describe to come up with a tag.  Which is nice, but git describe
sometimes can't describe the revision.
Commit 56b2f0706d ("setlocalversion: do not
describe if there is nothing to describe") addressed this, but there is still
no tag generated.

So, generate a plain abbreviated sha1 tag like setlocalversion used to when
git describe comes up short.

96631ed16c udp: introduce sk_for_each_rcu_safenext()
Corey Minyard found a race added in commit 271b72c7fa
(udp: RCU handling for Unicast packets.)

 "If the socket is moved from one list to another list in-between the
 time the hash is calculated and the next field is accessed, and the
 socket has moved to the end of the new list, the traversal will not
 complete properly on the list it should have, since the socket will
 be on the end of the new list and there's not a way to tell it's on a
 new list and restart the list traversal.  I think that this can be
 solved by pre-fetching the "next" field (with proper barriers) before
 checking the hash."

This patch corrects this problem, introducing a new
sk_for_each_rcu_safenext() macro.

0cbf00980f ALSA: hda - Add reboot notifier
The current snd-hda-intel driver seems blocking the power-off on some
devices like eeepc.  Although this is likely a BIOS problem, we can add
a workaround by disabling IRQ lines before power-off operation.
This patch adds the reboot notifier to achieve it.

The detailed problem description is found in bug#11889:

This is likely to confuse user interfaces since the end of the control
name is interpreted (eg, "Volume", "Switch").

8203efb3c6 udp: calculate udp_mem based on low memory instead of all memory
This patch mimics commit 57413ebc4e
(tcp: calculate tcp_mem based on low memory instead of all memory)

The udp_mem array which contains limits on the total amount of memory
used by UDP sockets is calculated based on nr_all_pages.  On a 32 bits
x86 system, we should base this on the number of lowmem pages.

271b72c7fa udp: RCU handling for Unicast packets.
Goals are :

1) Optimizing handling of incoming Unicast UDP frames, so that no memory
 writes should happen in the fast path.

 Note: Multicasts and broadcasts still will need to take a lock,
 because doing a full lockless lookup in this case is difficult.

2) No expensive operations in the socket bind/unhash phases :
  - No expensive synchronize_rcu() calls.

  - No added rcu_head in socket structure, increasing memory needs,
  but more important, forcing us to use call_rcu() calls,
  that have the bad property of making sockets structure cold.
  (rcu grace period between socket freeing and its potential reuse
   make this socket being cold in CPU cache).
  David did a previous patch using call_rcu() and noticed a 20%
  impact on TCP connection rates.
  Quoting Cristopher Lameter :
   "Right. That results in cacheline cooldown. You'd want to recycle
    the object as they are cache hot on a per cpu basis. That is screwed
    up by the delayed regular rcu processing. We have seen multiple
    regressions due to cacheline cooldown.
    The only choice in cacheline hot sensitive areas is to deal with the
    complexity that comes with SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU or give up on RCU."

  - Because udp sockets are allocated from dedicated kmem_cache,
  use of SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU can help here.

Theory of operation :
---------------------

As the lookup is lockfree (using rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock()),
special attention must be taken by readers and writers.

Use of SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU is tricky too, because a socket can be freed,
reused, inserted in a different chain or in worst case in the same chain
while readers could do lookups in the same time.

In order to avoid loops, a reader must check each socket found in a chain
really belongs to the chain the reader was traversing. If it finds a
mismatch, lookup must start again at the begining. This *restart* loop
is the reason we had to use rdlock for the multicast case, because
we dont want to send same message several times to the same socket.

We use RCU only for fast path.
Thus, /proc/net/udp still takes spinlocks.
