Fix a bug reported by and diagnosed by Aaron Straus.
This is a regression intruduced into 2.6.26 by
commit adc782dae6c4c0f6fb679a48a544cfbcd79ae3dc
Author: Matt Mackall <mpm@selenic.com>

random: simplify and rename credit_entropy_store
credit_entropy_bits() does:
spin_lock_irqsave(&r->lock, flags);
...
if (r->entropy_count > r->poolinfo->POOLBITS)
r->entropy_count = r->poolinfo->POOLBITS;
so there is a time window in which this BUG_ON():
static size_t account(struct entropy_store *r, size_t nbytes, int min,
int reserved)
{
unsigned long flags;
BUG_ON(r->entropy_count > r->poolinfo->POOLBITS);
/* Hold lock while accounting */
spin_lock_irqsave(&r->lock, flags);
can trigger.
We could fix this by moving the assertion inside the lock, but it seems
safer and saner to revert to the old behaviour wherein
entropy_store.entropy_count at no time exceeds
entropy_store.poolinfo->POOLBITS.

Kanru Chen posted a patch versus the old code which deals with the case
where you resize the pty side of a pty/tty pair. In that situation the
termios data is updated for both pty and tty but the locks are not held
for the right side.
This implements the fix differently against the updated tty code. Patch
by self but the hard bit (noticing and fixing the bug) is thanks to Kanru
Chen.

=======================
Wolfgang also found out that adding kernel_fpu_begin() and kernel_fpu_end()
around the padlock instructions fix the oops.
Suresh wrote:
These padlock instructions though don't use/touch SSE registers, but it behaves
similar to other SSE instructions. For example, it might cause DNA faults
when cr0.ts is set. While this is a spurious DNA trap, it might cause
oops with the recent fpu code changes.
This is the code sequence that is probably causing this problem:
a) new app is getting exec'd and it is somewhere in between
start_thread() and flush_old_exec() in the load_xyz_binary()
b) At pont "a", task's fpu state (like TS_USEDFPU, used_math() etc) is
cleared.
c) Now we get an interrupt/softirq which starts using these encrypt/decrypt
routines in the network stack. This generates a math fault (as
cr0.ts is '1') which sets TS_USEDFPU and restores the math that is
in the task's xstate.
d) Return to exec code path, which does start_thread() which does
free_thread_xstate() and sets xstate pointer to NULL while
the TS_USEDFPU is still set.
e) At the next context switch from the new exec'd task to another task,
we have a scenarios where TS_USEDFPU is set but xstate pointer is null.
This can cause an oops during unlazy_fpu() in __switch_to()
Now:
1) This should happen with or with out pre-emption. Viro also encountered
similar problem with out CONFIG_PREEMPT.
2) kernel_fpu_begin() and kernel_fpu_end() will fix this problem, because
kernel_fpu_begin() will manually do a clts() and won't run in to the
situation of setting TS_USEDFPU in step "c" above.
3) This was working before the fpu changes, because its a spurious
math fault which doesn't corrupt any fpu/sse registers and the task's
math state was always in an allocated state.
With out the recent lazy fpu allocation changes, while we don't see oops,
there is a possible race still present in older kernels(for example,
while kernel is using kernel_fpu_begin() in some optimized clear/copy
page and an interrupt/softirq happens which uses these padlock
instructions generating DNA fault).
This is the failing scenario that existed even before the lazy fpu allocation
changes:
0. CPU's TS flag is set
1. kernel using FPU in some optimized copy routine and while doing
kernel_fpu_begin() takes an interrupt just before doing clts()
2. Takes an interrupt and ipsec uses padlock instruction. And we
take a DNA fault as TS flag is still set.
3. We handle the DNA fault and set TS_USEDFPU and clear cr0.ts
4. We complete the padlock routine
5. Go back to step-1, which resumes clts() in kernel_fpu_begin(), finishes
the optimized copy routine and does kernel_fpu_end(). At this point,
we have cr0.ts again set to '1' but the task's TS_USEFPU is stilll
set and not cleared.
6. Now kernel resumes its user operation. And at the next context
switch, kernel sees it has do a FP save as TS_USEDFPU is still set
and then will do a unlazy_fpu() in __switch_to(). unlazy_fpu()
will take a DNA fault, as cr0.ts is '1' and now, because we are
in __switch_to(), math_state_restore() will get confused and will
restore the next task's FP state and will save it in prev tasks's FP state.
Remember, in __switch_to() we are already on the stack of the next task
but take a DNA fault for the prev task.
This causes the fpu leakage.
Fix the padlock instruction usage by calling them inside the
context of new routines irq_ts_save/restore(), which clear/restore cr0.ts
manually in the interrupt context. This will not generate spurious DNA
in the context of the interrupt which will fix the oops encountered and
the possible FPU leakage issue.

commit 611e097d7707741a336a0677d9d69bec40f29f3d
Author: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@de.ibm.com>
hvc_console: rework setup to replace irq functions with callbacks
introduced a spinlock recursion problem.
request_irq tries to call the handler if the IRQ is shared.
The irq handler of hvc_console calls hvc_poll and hvc_kill
which might take the hvc_struct spinlock. Therefore, we have
to call request_irq outside the spinlock.
We can move the notifier_add safely outside the spinlock as ->data must
not be changed by the backend. Otherwise, tty_hangup would fail anyway.

On my Intel chipset (965GM), the GTT is entirely erased across
suspend/resume. This patch simply re-plays the current mapping at resume
time to restore the table.=20
I noticed this once I started relying on persistent GTT mappings across VT
switch in our GEM work -- the old X server and DRM code carefully unbind
all memory from the GTT on VT switch, but GEM does not bother.
I placed the list management and rewrite code in the generic layer on the
assumption that it will be needed on other hardware, but I did not add the
rewrite call to anything other than the Intel resume function.
Keep a list of current GATT mappings. At resume time, rewrite them into
the GATT. This is needed on Intel (at least) as the entire GATT is
cleared across suspend/resume.

I think the intent was that if no bridges matched agp_amd64_pci_table[],
we would fall back to checking for any bridge with the AGP capability.
But in the current code, we execute the fallback path only when
pci_register_driver() itself fails, which is unrelated to whether any
matching devices were found.
This patch counts the AGP bridges found in the probe() method and executes
the fallback path when none is found.

The bogus code to call into the n_tty layer got removed in commit

iSeries console"), but it left a now uninitialized "return ret;" around.
Not that this code has ever even compiled since the BKL pushdown, since
not only is "ret" no longer initialized, it was never actually declared
even originally.

The iSeries driver calls into the n_tty ldisc code directly for some
bizarre reason. I previously tagged this with a query but this actually
does need fixing as n_tty methods when you have a different ldisc set are
not a good thing to call.
In n_tty mode this change should have no effect, the core tty layer has
always called the ldisc ioctl method *anyway* and will call the one for
the right ldisc.

changes for 2.6.28 so for 2.6.26/2.6.27 it is safer to reintroduce this
ages old minor bug.

from include/asm-powerpc. This is the result of a
mkdir arch/powerpc/include/asm
git mv include/asm-powerpc/* arch/powerpc/include/asm
Followed by a few documentation/comment fixups and a couple of places
where <asm-powepc/...> was being used explicitly. Of the latter only
one was outside the arch code and it is a driver only built for powerpc.

Currently function tty_ldisc_get() tries to load an ldisc driver module
only when tty_ldisc_try_get() returns -EAGAIN. This happens only if
module is being unloaded. If ldisc module is not loaded
tty_ldisc_try_get() returns -EINVAL and this case is not handled in
tty_ldisc_get(), so request_module() is not called.
Attached patch fixes this by calling request_module() if
tty_ldisc_try_get() returned any error code.
I discovered this when my UMTS modem stopped working with 2.6.27-rc1
because module ppp_async was not loaded.

ipwireless: Preallocate received packet buffers with MRU size
Packets are assembled from link size (~300 bytes) up to PPP MRU
(1500 by default). Try to preallocate full size rather than
repeatedly advance buffer size by 256 bytes.

ipwireless: Increase PPP outgoing queue size
Increase default size of PPP outgoing queue. Currently set to 1, which
means that a packet quickly following another pushed by PPP must wait
until hardware actually sends the previous and PPP has to be waken up
by ppp_wakeup(). This slows down upstream.
Now PPP can push more packets at once which get buffered inside driver
and pushed immediatelly to hardware when previous packet is out.
Experiments show that size = 10 is quite good for all connection types
(GPRS/EDGE/UMTS) and gains 4 KB/sec of upload for UMTS for batch uploads.
Need for higher queue size than 10 occures in only < 0.1 % of cases.

ipwireless: Do not return value from sending funcs
Do not return value from do_send_fragment and do_send_packet, it's not used.
The packet size checks are not useful too:
* zero length packet will never be sent, caller always passes packet_header
size which is either 1 or 3
* MTU check is done in caller, no need to repeat
