fbf54dd320 USB: usb/dma doc updates
This patch updates some of the documentation about DMA buffer management
for USB, and ways to avoid extra copying.  Our understanding of the issues
has improved over time.

 - Most drivers should *avoid* the dma-coherent allocators.  There are
   a few exceptions (like the HID driver).

 - Some methods are currently commented out; it seems folk writing
   USB drivers aren't doing performance tuning at that level yet.

 - Just avoid highmem; there's no good way to pass an "I can do highmem
   DMA" capability through a driver stack.  This is easy, everything
   already avoids highmem.  But it'd be nice if x86_32 systems with much
   physical memory could use it directly with network adapters and mass
   storage devices.  (Patch, anyone?)

b41a60eca8 USB: add power/persist device attribute
This patch (as920) adds an extra level of protection to the
USB-Persist facility.  Now it will apply by default only to hubs; for
all other devices the user must enable it explicitly by setting the
power/persist device attribute.

The disconnect_all_children() routine in hub.c has been removed and
its code placed inline.  This is the way it was originally as part of
hub_pre_reset(); the revised usage in hub_reset_resume() is
sufficiently different that the code can no longer be shared.
Likewise, mark_children_for_reset() is now inline as part of
hub_reset_resume().  The end result looks much cleaner than before.

The sysfs interface is updated to add the new attribute file, and
there are corresponding documentation updates.

0458d5b4c9 USB: add USB-Persist facility
This patch (as886) adds the controversial USB-persist facility,
allowing USB devices to persist across a power loss during system
suspend.

The facility is controlled by a new Kconfig option (with appropriate
warnings about the potential dangers); when the option is off the
behavior will remain the same as it is now.  But when the option is
on, people will be able to use suspend-to-disk and keep their USB
filesystems intact -- something particularly valuable for small
machines where the root filesystem is on a USB device!

Add an ability to utilize the internal SRAM buffer on ICH4
and newer host controllers to speed up execution of block operations.

I've split the code so that it is more clear which block transaction is
performed.

First of all the host controller's type is identified. isich4 is set when
we think that the controller has the internal buffer. Then, before every
block transaction, if isich4 is set, we attempt to enable the E32B bit in
SMBAUXCTL register.

4b2643d7d9 i2c: Fix the i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data() prototype
Let the drivers specify how many bytes they want to read with
i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data(). So far, the block count was
hard-coded to I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX (32), which did not make much sense.
Many driver authors complained about this before, and I believe it's
about time to fix it. Right now, authors have to do technically stupid
things, such as individual byte reads or full-fledged I2C messaging,
to work around the problem. We do not want to encourage that.

I even found that some bus drivers (e.g. i2c-amd8111) already
implemented I2C block read the "right" way, that is, they didn't
follow the old, broken standard. The fact that it was never noticed
before just shows how little i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data() was used,
which isn't that surprising given how broken its prototype was so far.

There are some obvious compatiblity considerations:
* This changes the i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data() prototype. Users
  outside the kernel tree will notice at compilation time, and will
  have to update their code.
* User-space has access to i2c_smbus_xfer() directly using i2c-dev, so
  the changed expectations would affect tools such as i2cdump. In order
  to preserve binary compatibility, we give I2C_SMBUS_I2C_BLOCK_DATA
  a new numeric value, and define I2C_SMBUS_I2C_BLOCK_BROKEN with the
  old numeric value. When i2c-dev receives a transaction with the
  old value, it can convert it to the new format on the fly.

ed03218951 security: Protection for exploiting null dereference using mmap
Add a new security check on mmap operations to see if the user is attempting
to mmap to low area of the address space.  The amount of space protected is
indicated by the new proc tunable /proc/sys/vm/mmap_min_addr and defaults to
0, preserving existing behavior.

This patch uses a new SELinux security class "memprotect."  Policy already
contains a number of allow rules like a_t self:process * (unconfined_t being
one of them) which mean that putting this check in the process class (its
best current fit) would make it useless as all user processes, which we also
want to protect against, would be allowed. By taking the memprotect name of
the new class it will also make it possible for us to move some of the other
memory protect permissions out of 'process' and into the new class next time
we bump the policy version number (which I also think is a good future idea)

91a6902958 sysfs: add parameter "struct bin_attribute *" in .read/.write methods for sysfs binary attributes
Well, first of all, I don't want to change so many files either.

What I do:
Adding a new parameter "struct bin_attribute *" in the
.read/.write methods for the sysfs binary attributes.

In fact, only the four lines change in fs/sysfs/bin.c and
include/linux/sysfs.h do the real work.
But I have to update all the files that use binary attributes
to make them compatible with the new .read and .write methods.
I'm not sure if I missed any. :(

Why I do this:
For a sysfs attribute, we can get a pointer pointing to the
struct attribute in the .show/.store method,
while we can't do this for the binary attributes.
I don't know why this is different, but this does make it not
so handy to use the binary attributes as the regular ones.
So I think this patch is reasonable. :)

Who benefits from it:
The patch that exposes ACPI tables in sysfs
requires such an improvement.
All the table binary attributes share the same .read method.
Parameter "struct bin_attribute *" is used to get
the table signature and instance number which are used to
distinguish different ACPI table binary attributes.

Without this parameter, we need to offer different .read methods
for different ACPI table binary attributes.
This is impossible as there are various ACPI tables on different
platforms, and we don't know what they are until they are loaded.

694625c0b3 PCI: add pci_try_set_mwi
As suggested by Andrew, add pci_try_set_mwi(), which does not require
return-value checking.

- add pci_try_set_mwi() without __must_check
- make it return 0 on success, errno if the "try" failed or error
- review callers

012b7105cc [IA64] prevent MCA when performing MMIO mmap to PCI config space
Example memory map (HP rx7640 with 'default' acpiconfig setting, VGA disabled):
   0x00000000 - 0x3FFFBFFF  supports only WB (cacheable) access

If a user attempts to perform an MMIO mmap (using the PCIIOC_MMAP_IS_MEM ioctl)
to PCI config space (like mmap'ing and accessing memory at 0xA0000),
we will MCA because the kernel will attempt to use a mapping with the UC
attribute.

So check the memory attribute in kern_mmap and the EFI memmap. If WC is
requested, and WC or UC access is supported for the region, allow it.
Otherwise, use the same attribute the kernel uses.

Updates documentation and test cases as well.

1c8c7d6416 [NET]: netdevice mtu assumptions documentation
Document the expectations about device MTU handling.
The documentation about oversize packet handling is probably too
loose.

IMHO devices should drop oversize packets for robustness,
but many devices allow it now. For example, if you set mtu to 1200
bytes, most ether devices will allow a 1500 byte frame in.
