Pull kdump fixes from Peter Anvin: "The kexec/kdump people have found several problems with the support for loading over 4 GiB that was introduced in this merge cycle. This is partly due to a number of design problems inherent in the way the various pieces of kdump fit together (it is pretty horrifically manual in many places.) After a *lot* of iterations this is the patchset that was agreed upon, but of course it is now very late in the cycle. However, because it changes both the syntax and semantics of the crashkernel option, it would be desirable to avoid a stable release with the broken interfaces." I'm not happy with the timing, since originally the plan was to release the final 3.9 tomorrow. But apparently I'm doing an -rc8 instead... * 'x86-kdump-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: kexec: use Crash kernel for Crash kernel low x86, kdump: Change crashkernel_high/low= to crashkernel=,high/low x86, kdump: Retore crashkernel= to allocate under 896M x86, kdump: Set crashkernel_low automatically

Pull x86 fixes from Peter Anvin: "Three groups of fixes: 1. Make sure we don't execute the early microcode patching if family < 6, since it would touch MSRs which don't exist on those families, causing crashes. 2. The Xen partial emulation of HyperV can be dealt with more gracefully than just disabling the driver. 3. More EFI variable space magic. In particular, variables hidden from runtime code need to be taken into account too." * 'x86-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86, microcode: Verify the family before dispatching microcode patching x86, hyperv: Handle Xen emulation of Hyper-V more gracefully x86,efi: Implement efi_no_storage_paranoia parameter efi: Export efi_query_variable_store() for efivars.ko x86/Kconfig: Make EFI select UCS2_STRING efi: Distinguish between "remaining space" and actually used space efi: Pass boot services variable info to runtime code Move utf16 functions to kernel core and rename x86,efi: Check max_size only if it is non-zero. x86, efivars: firmware bug workarounds should be in platform code

Pull networking updates from David Miller: 1) ax88796 does 64-bit divides which causes link errors on ARM, fix from Arnd Bergmann. 2) Once an improper offload setting is detected on an SKB we don't rate limit the log message so we can very easily live lock. From Ben Greear. 3) Openvswitch cannot report vport configuration changes reliably because it didn't preallocate the netlink notification message before changing state. From Jesse Gross. 4) The effective UID/GID SCM credentials fix, from Linus. 5) When a user explicitly asks for wireless authentication, cfg80211 isn't told about the AP detachment leaving inconsistent state.

Revert "block: add missing block_bio_complete() tracepoint"

2013-04-18T16:00:26Z

This reverts commit 3a366e614d0837d9fc23f78cdb1a1186ebc3387f. Wanlong Gao reports that it causes a kernel panic on his machine several minutes after boot. Reverting it removes the panic. Jens says: "It's not quite clear why that is yet, so I think we should just revert the commit for 3.9 final (which I'm assuming is pretty close). The wifi is crap at the LSF hotel, so sending this email instead of queueing up a revert and pull request."

x86, kdump: Retore crashkernel= to allocate under 896M

2013-04-17T19:35:33Z

Vivek found old kexec-tools does not work new kernel anymore. So change back crashkernel= back to old behavoir, and add crashkernel_high= to let user decide if buffer could be above 4G, and also new kexec-tools will be needed. -v2: let crashkernel=X override crashkernel_high= update description about _high will be ignored by crashkernel=X -v3: update description about kernel-parameters.txt according to Vivek.

x86, kdump: Set crashkernel_low automatically

2013-04-17T19:35:32Z

Chao said that kdump does does work well on his system on 3.8 without extra parameter, even iommu does not work with kdump. And now have to append crashkernel_low=Y in first kernel to make kdump work. We have now modified crashkernel=X to allocate memory beyong 4G (if available) and do not allocate low range for crashkernel if the user does not specify that with crashkernel_low=Y. This causes regression if iommu is not enabled. Without iommu, swiotlb needs to be setup in first 4G and there is no low memory available to second kernel. Set crashkernel_low automatically if the user does not specify that. For system that does support IOMMU with kdump properly, user could specify crashkernel_low=0 to save that 72M low ram. -v3: add swiotlb_size() according to Konrad. -v4: add comments what 8M is for according to hpa. also update more crashkernel_low= in kernel-parameters.txt -v5: update changelog according to Vivek. -v6: Change description about swiotlb referring according to HATAYAMA.

Pull networking fixes from David Miller: 1) Fix erroneous netfilter drop of SIP packets generated by some Cisco phones, from Patrick McHardy. 2) Fix netfilter IPSET refcounting in list_set_add(), from Jozsef Kadlecsik. 3) Fix TCP syncookies route lookup key, we don't use the same values we would use for the usual SYN receive processing, from Dmitry Popov. 4) Fix NULL deref in bond_slave_netdev_event(), from Nikolay Aleksandrov. 5) When bonding enslave fails, we can forget to clear the IFF_BONDING bit, fix also from Nikolay Aleksandrov. 6) skb->csum_start is 16-bits, which is almost always just fine. But if we reallocate the headroom of an SKB this can push the skb->csum_start value outside of it's valid range. This can easily happen when collapsing multiple SKBs from the retransmit queue together. Fix from Thomas Graf. 7) Fix NULL deref in be2net driver due to missing check of __vlan_put_tag() return value, from Ivan Vecera. 8) tun_set_iff() returns zero instead of error code on failure, fix from Wei Yongjun. 9) Like GARP, 802 MRP needs to hold the app->lock when adding MAD events and queueing PDUs.

From Stephen Hemminger. 13) mvnets calculates the TX queue to use incorrectly resulting in garbage pointer derefs and crashes, fix from Willy Tarreau. 14) cdc_mbim does erroneous sizeof(ETH_HLEN). Fix from Bjorn Mork. 15) IP fragmentation can leak a refcount-less route out from an RCU protected section. This results in crashes and all sorts of hard to diagnose behavior.

vm: add vm_iomap_memory() helper function

2013-04-16T23:45:45Z

Various drivers end up replicating the code to mmap() their memory buffers into user space, and our core memory remapping function may be very flexible but it is unnecessarily complicated for the common cases to use. Our internal VM uses pfn's ("page frame numbers") which simplifies things for the VM, and allows us to pass physical addresses around in a denser and more efficient format than passing a "phys_addr_t" around, and having to shift it up and down by the page size. But it just means that drivers end up doing that shifting instead at the interface level. It also means that drivers end up mucking around with internal VM things like the vma details (vm_pgoff, vm_start/end) way more than they really need to. So this just exports a function to map a certain physical memory range into user space (using a phys_addr_t based interface that is much more natural for a driver) and hides all the complexity from the driver. Some drivers will still end up tweaking the vm_page_prot details for things like prefetching or cacheability etc, but that's actually relevant to the driver, rather than caring about what the page offset of the mapping is into the particular IO memory region.
