While reviewing commit 1c40be12f7, I
audited other users of tc_action_ops->dump for information leaks.
That commit covered almost all of them but act_police still had a leak.
opt.limit and opt.capab aren't zeroed out before the structure is
passed out.
This patch uses the C99 initializers to zero everything unused out.

The 2.6.36-rc kernel added three new system calls:
fanotify_init, fanotify_mark, and prlimit64. This patch
wires them up on ARM.
The only non-trivial issue here is the u64 argument to
sys_fanotify_mark(), but it is the 3rd argument and thus
passed in r2/r3 in both kernel and user space, so it causes
no problems.
Tested with a 2.6.36-rc2 EABI kernel on an ixp4xx machine.

During my rewrite, the semantics of touch_nmi_watchdog and
touch_softlockup_watchdog changed enough to break some drivers
(mostly over preemptable regions).
These are cases where long delays on one CPU (due to
print_delay for example) can cause long delays on other
CPUs - so we must 'touch' the nmi_watchdog flag of those
other CPUs as well.
This change brings those touch_*_watchdog() functions back in line
with to how they used to work.

In f761622e59 we changed
early_setup_secondary so it's called using the proper kernel stack
rather than the emergency one.
Unfortunately, this stack pointer can't be used when translation is off
on PHYP as this stack pointer might be outside the RMO. This results in
the following on all non zero cpus:
cpu 0x1: Vector: 300 (Data Access) at [c00000001639fd10]
pc: 000000000001c50c

current = 0xc000000016393540
paca = 0xc000000006e00200
pid = 0, comm = swapper
The original patch was only tested on bare metal system, so it never
caught this problem.
This changes __secondary_start so that we calculate the new stack
pointer but only start using it after we've called early_setup_secondary.

Commit 0fe1ac48 ("powerpc/perf_event: Fix oops due to
perf_event_do_pending call") moved the call to perf_event_do_pending
in timer_interrupt() down so that it was after the irq_enter() call.
Unfortunately this moved it after the code that checks whether it
is time for the next decrementer clock event. The result is that
the call to perf_event_do_pending() won't happen until the next
decrementer clock event is due. This was pointed out by Milton
Miller.
This fixes it by moving the check for whether it's time for the
next decrementer clock event down to the point where we're about
to call the event handler, after we've called perf_event_do_pending.
This has the side effect that on old pre-Core99 Powermacs where we
use the ppc_n_lost_interrupts mechanism to replay interrupts, a
replayed interrupt will incur a little more latency since it will
now do the code from the irq_enter down to the irq_exit, that it
used to skip. However, these machines are now old and rare enough
that this doesn't matter. To make it clear that ppc_n_lost_interrupts
is only used on Powermacs, and to speed up the code slightly on
non-Powermac ppc32 machines, the code that tests ppc_n_lost_interrupts
is now conditional on CONFIG_PMAC as well as CONFIG_PPC32.

Wireless extensions have an unfortunate, undocumented
requirement which requires drivers to always fill
iwp->length when returning a successful status. When
a driver doesn't do this, it leads to a kernel heap
content leak when userspace offers a larger buffer
than would have been necessary.
Arguably, this is a driver bug, as it should, if it
returns 0, fill iwp->length, even if it separately
indicated that the buffer contents was not valid.
However, we can also at least avoid the memory content
leak if the driver doesn't do this by setting the iwp
length to max_tokens, which then reflects how big the
buffer is that the driver may fill, regardless of how
big the userspace buffer is.
To illustrate the point, this patch also fixes a
corresponding cfg80211 bug (since this requirement
isn't documented nor was ever pointed out by anyone
during code review, I don't trust all drivers nor
all cfg80211 handlers to implement it correctly).

be re-armed because all it will do, if running, is
schedule the work, but that gets flushed later and
won't have anything to do since all work items are

It turned out that upon a power save mode change the
firmware will set a special flag onto the last outgoing
frame tx status (which in this case is almost always the
designated PSM nullfunc frame). This flag confused the
driver; It erroneously reported transmission failures
to the stack, which then generated the next nullfunc.

This patch fixes the problem by updating tstamp_stopped,

MD_CHANGE_CLEAN is used for two different purposes and this leads to
confusion.
One of the purposes is largely mirrored by MD_CHANGE_PENDING which is
not used for anything else, so have MD_CHANGE_PENDING take over that
purpose fully.
The two purposes are:
1/ tell md_update_sb that an update is needed and that it is just a
clean/dirty transition.
2/ tell user-space that an transition from clean to dirty is pending
(something wants to write), and tell te kernel (by clearin the
flag) that the transition is OK.
The first purpose remains wit MD_CHANGE_CLEAN, the second is moved
fully to MD_CHANGE_PENDING.
This means that various places which conditionally set or cleared
MD_CHANGE_CLEAN no longer need to be conditional.

If this bit is cleared in md_update_sb() the kernel will allow writes to the
array if userspace triggers md_allow_write(), e.g. through stripe_cache_size,
when mdmon is not active. When mdmon is active the array transitions to
active-idle bypassing write-pending, setting up a race for mdmon to set the
array clean before a write arrives.
