The current RT balancer does not consider CPU topology and may
wakeup a process to run on another CPU although it might run
on the current.
This patch adds a check and runs the new task on the current CPU,
if it
- is an RT task,
- is allowed to run on the current CPU, and
- current is not an RT task,

POSIX scheduling semantics for SCHED_FIFO require that a thread whose
priority is changed via pthread_setschedprio() is enqueued to the head
of the new priority list when the thread is running and the new
priority is lower than the old priority. This is required to implement
user space driven priority ceiling.
The sys_sched_setscheduler() and sys_sched_setparam() semantics are
POSIX compliant as they move the thread to the tail of the priority
list.
The lack of the sys_sched_setprio syscall and the resulting usage of
sys_sched_setscheduler() resp. sys_sched_setparam() results in the
following non POSIX compliant scenario:
Task A and B are runnable and in the same priority list X
task A runs and boosts itself for priority ceiling to prio Y
task A unboost itself to its original priority X
-> task A gets dequeued from priority list Y
-> task A gets enqueued at the tail of priority list X
task B runs
Work around that to make prio ceiling work as expected:
Queue task to head when task is running and task is lowering its
priority. This works around the non-availability of a sched_setprio
syscall which was tinkered into the posix spec to make prio ceiling
work correctly.
This workaround violates the posix scheduling semantics of tail
queueing in the case that the priority was changed by anything else
than sched_setprio, but there is no other breakage lurking than some
specification fetishists going berserk on me.
Fixing this in mainline needs more thoughts.

rtmutex_set_prio() is used to implement priority inheritance for
futexes. When a task is deboosted it gets enqueued at the tail of its RT
priority list. This is violating the POSIX scheduling semantics:
rt priority list X contains two runnable tasks A and B
task A runs with priority X and holds mutex M
task C preempts A and is blocked on mutex M
-> task A is boosted to priority of task C (Y)
task A unlocks the mutex M and deboosts itself
-> A is dequeued from rt priority list Y
-> A is enqueued to the tail of rt priority list X
task C schedules away
task B runs
This is wrong as task A did not schedule away and therefor violates
the POSIX scheduling semantics.
Enqueue the task to the head of the priority list instead.

cap_get_target_pid() protects the task lookup with tasklist_lock.
security_capget() is called under tasklist_lock as well but
tasklist_lock does not protect anything there. The capabilities are
protected by RCU already.
So tasklist_lock only protects the lookup and prevents the task going
away, which can be done with rcu_read_lock() as well.

The temperature and voltage limits currently set on these boards are
too conservative and will cause the driver to stop the net device
erroneously in some systems.
Based on a review of the chip datasheets and advice from the designer
of these boards:
- Raise the maximum board temperatures to the specified maximum ambient
temperatures for their PHYs plus the expected temperature bias of the
board
- Raise the maximum controller temperature to 90 degrees
- Lower the minimum temperatures to 0 degrees
- Widen the voltage tolerances to at least +/- 10%

Yuck. It turns out that when we restart sysctls we were restarting
with the values already changed. Which unfortunately meant that
the second time through we thought there was no change and skipped
all kinds of work, despite the fact that there was indeed a change.
I have fixed this the simplest way possible by restoring the changed
values when we restart the sysctl write.
One of my coworkers spotted this bug when after disabling forwarding
on an interface pings were still forwarded.

Thanks to testcase and report from Brad Spengler:
--------------------
#include <stdio.h>
typedef int (* _wee)(void);
int main(void)
{
char buf[8] = { '\x81', '\xc7', '\xe0', '\x08', '\x81', '\xe8',
'\x00', '\x00' };
_wee wee;
printf("%p\n", &buf);
wee = (_wee)&buf;
wee();
return 0;
}
--------------------
TSB I-tlb load code tries to use andcc to check the _PAGE_EXEC_4U bit,
but that's bit 12 so it gets sign extended all the way up to bit 63
and the test nearly always passes as a result.

Due to lack of time, space, motivation, hardware and probably expertise,
I have reluctantly decided to orphan the DECnet code in the kernel.
Judging by the deafening silence on the linux-decnet mailing list I

using it are happy with their older kernels.

Most laptops have keys that are intended to toggle all device state, not
just wifi. These are currently generally mapped to KEY_WLAN. As a result,
rfkill will only kill or enable wifi in response to the key press. This
confuses users and can make it difficult for them to enable bluetooth
and wwan devices.
This patch adds a new keycode, KEY_RFKILL. It indicates that the system
should toggle the state of all rfkillable devices.

There is 3 different distinct states for an indirect buffer (IB) :
1- free with no fence
2- free with a fence
3- non free (fence doesn't matter)
Previous code mixed case 2 & 3 in a single one leading to possible
catastrophique failure. This patch rework the handling and properly
separate each case. So when you get ib we set the ib as non free and
fence status doesn't matter. Fence become active (ie has a meaning
for the ib code) once the ib is scheduled or free. This patch also
get rid of the alloc bitmap as it was overkill, we know go through
IB pool list like in a ring buffer as the oldest IB is the first
one the will be free.
