no upstream git id as the code has been rewritten.

fix CPA cache attribute bug in v2.6.23. When phys_base is nonzero
(when CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) then change_page_attr_addr() miscalculates
the secondary alias address by -14 MB (depending on the configured
offset).

The default 64-bit kernels of Fedora and Ubuntu are affected:

   $ grep RELOCA /boot/config-2.6.23.9-85.fc8
     CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y

   $ grep RELOC /boot/config-2.6.22-14-generic
     CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y

and probably on many other distros as well.

the bug affects all pages in the first 40 MB of physical RAM that
are allocated by some subsystem that does ioremap_nocache() on them:

       if (__pa(address) < KERNEL_TEXT_SIZE) {

Hence we might leave page table entries with inconsistent cache
attributes around (pages mapped at both UnCacheable and Write-Back),
and we can also set the wrong kernel text pages to UnCacheable.

the effects of this bug can be random slowdowns and other misbehavior.
If for example AGP allocates its aperture pages into the first 40 MB
of physical RAM, then the -14 MB bug might mark random kernel texto
pages as uncacheable, slowing down a random portion of the 64-bit
kernel until the AGP driver is unloaded.

Be more robust about bad arguments in get_user_pages()

patch 900cf086fd2fbad07f72f4575449e0d0958f860f in mainline.

So I spent a while pounding my head against my monitor trying to figure
out the vmsplice() vulnerability - how could a failure to check for
*read* access turn into a root exploit? It turns out that it's a buffer
overflow problem which is made easy by the way get_user_pages() is
coded.

In particular, "len" is a signed int, and it is only checked at the
*end* of a do {} while() loop.  So, if it is passed in as zero, the loop
will execute once and decrement len to -1.  At that point, the loop will
proceed until the next invalid address is found; in the process, it will
likely overflow the pages array passed in to get_user_pages().

I think that, if get_user_pages() has been asked to grab zero pages,
that's what it should do.  Thus this patch; it is, among other things,
enough to block the (already fixed) root exploit and any others which
might be lurking in similar code.  I also think that the number of pages
should be unsigned, but changing the prototype of this function probably
requires some more careful review.

patch 592a607bbc053bc6f614a0e619326009f4b3829e in mainline.

It appears that with the U3 northbridge, if the processor is in NAP
mode the whole time while waiting for an SMU command to complete,
then the SMU will fail.  It could be related to the weird backward
mechanism the SMU uses to get to system memory via i2c to the
northbridge that doesn't operate properly when the said bridge is
in napping along with the CPU.  That is on U3 at least, U4 doesn't
seem to be affected.

This didn't show before NO_HZ as the timer wakeup was enough to make
it work it seems, but that is no longer the case.

This fixes it by disabling NAP mode on those machines while
an SMU command is in flight.

 76d2160147f43f982dfe881404cfde9fd0a9da21
 genirq: do not mask interrupts by default

It removed the mask function in favour of the default delayed
interrupt disabling. Unfortunately this also broke the shutdown in
free_irq() when the last handler is removed from the interrupt for
those architectures which rely on the default implementations. Now we
can end up with a enabled interrupt line after the last handler was
removed, which can result in spurious interrupts.

Fix this by adding a default_shutdown function, which is only
installed, when the irqchip implementation does provide neither a
shutdown nor a disable function.

patch 5d47a35600270e7115061cb1320ee60ae9bcb6b8 in mainline.

If the inode is flagged as having an invalid mapping, then we can't rely on
the PageUptodate() flag. Ensure that we don't use the "anti-fragmentation"
write optimisation in nfs_updatepage(), since that will cause NFS to write
out areas of the page that are no longer guaranteed to be up to date.

A potential corruption could occur in the following scenario:

client 1 client 2
=============== ===============
fd=open("f",O_CREAT|O_WRONLY,0644);
write(fd,"fubar\n",6); // cache last page
close(fd);
fd=open("f",O_WRONLY|O_APPEND);
write(fd,"foo\n",4);
close(fd);

fd=open("f",O_WRONLY|O_APPEND);
write(fd,"bar\n",4);
close(fd);
-----
The bug may lead to the file "f" reading 'fubar\n\0\0\0\nbar\n' because
client 2 does not update the cached page after re-opening the file for
write. Instead it keeps it marked as PageUptodate() until someone calls
invaldate_inode_pages2() (typically by calling read()).

The problem with that fix is, that the page can be redirtied after
cancel_dirty_page was called, eg. like this:

                mark_buffer_dirty(); // PG_dirty set, incr. dirty pages

[NETFILTER]: bridge-netfilter: fix net_device refcnt leaks

Upstream commit 2dc2f207fb251666d2396fe1a69272b307ecc333

When packets are flood-forwarded to multiple output devices, the
bridge-netfilter code reuses skb->nf_bridge for each clone to store
the bridge port. When queueing packets using NFQUEUE netfilter takes
a reference to skb->nf_bridge->physoutdev, which is overwritten
when the packet is forwarded to the second port. This causes
refcount unterflows for the first device and refcount leaks for all
others. Additionally this provides incorrect data to the iptables
physdev match.

Unshare skb->nf_bridge by copying it if it is shared before assigning
the physoutdev device.

[NETFILTER]: bridge: fix double POST_ROUTING invocation

Upstream commit 2948d2ebbb98747b912ac6d0c864b4d02be8a6f5

The bridge code incorrectly causes two POST_ROUTING hook invocations
for DNATed packets that end up on the same bridge device. This
happens because packets with a changed destination address are passed
to dst_output() to make them go through the neighbour output function
again to build a new destination MAC address, before they will continue
through the IP hooks simulated by bridge netfilter.

The resulting hook order is:
 PREROUTING (bridge netfilter)
 POSTROUTING        (dst_output -> ip_output)
 FORWARD    (bridge netfilter)
 POSTROUTING        (bridge netfilter)

The deferred hooks used to abort the first POST_ROUTING invocation,
but since the only thing bridge netfilter actually really wants is
a new MAC address, we can avoid going through the IP stack completely
by simply calling the neighbour output function directly.

[IA64] Fix unaligned handler for floating point instructions with base update

The compiler team did the hard work for this distilling a problem in
large fortran application which showed up when applied to a 290MB input
data set down to this instruction:

ldfd f34=[r17],-8

Which they noticed incremented r17 by 0x10 rather than decrementing it
by 8 when the value in r17 caused an unaligned data fault.  I tracked
it down to some bad instruction decoding in unaligned.c. The code
assumes that the 'x' bit can determine whether the instruction is
an "ldf" or "ldfp" ... which it is for opcode=6 (see table 4-29 on
page 3:302 of the SDM).  But for opcode=7 the 'x' bit is irrelevent,
all variants are "ldf" instructions (see table 4-36 on page 3:306).

Note also that interpreting the instruction as "ldfp" means that the
"paired" floating point register (f35 in the example here) will also
be corrupted.

Second-generation Promise SATA controllers have an ASIC bug
which can trigger if the last PRD entry is larger than 164 bytes,
resulting in intermittent errors and possible data corruption.

Work around this by replacing calls to ata_qc_prep() with a
private version that fills the PRD, checks the size of the
last entry, and if necessary splits it to avoid the bug.
Also reduce sg_tablesize by 1 to accommodate the new entry.

Tested on the second-generation SATA300 TX4 and SATA300 TX2plus,
and the first-generation PDC20378.

patch 96990a4ae979df9e235d01097d6175759331e88c in mainline.

Quicklists calculates the size of the quicklists based on the number of
free pages.  This must be the number of free pages that can be allocated
with GFP_KERNEL.  node_page_state() includes the pages in ZONE_HIGHMEM and
ZONE_MOVABLE which may lead the quicklists to become too large causing OOM.

Freezer: Fix APM emulation breakage

The APM emulation is currently broken as a result of commit
831441862956fffa17b9801db37e6ea1650b0f69
"Freezer: make kernel threads nonfreezable by default"
that removed the PF_NOFREEZE annotations from apm_ioctl() without
adding the appropriate freezer hooks.  Fix it and remove the
unnecessary variable flags from apm_ioctl().

This problem has been fixed in the mainline by
commit cb43c54ca05c01533c45e4d3abfe8f99b7acf624
"Freezer: Fix APM emulation breakage".
