<title>Make the "word-at-a-time" helper functions more commonly usable</title>

<content type='text'>
I have a new optimized x86 "strncpy_from_user()" that will use these
same helper functions for all the same reasons the name lookup code uses
them.  This is preparation for that.

This moves them into an architecture-specific header file.  It's
architecture-specific for two reasons:

 - some of the functions are likely to want architecture-specific
   implementations.  Even if the current code happens to be "generic" in
   the sense that it should work on any little-endian machine, it's
   likely that the "multiply by a big constant and shift" implementation
   is less than optimal for an architecture that has a guaranteed fast
   bit count instruction, for example.

 - I expect that if architectures like sparc want to start playing
   around with this, we'll need to abstract out a few more details (in
   particular the actual unaligned accesses).  So we're likely to have
   more architecture-specific stuff if non-x86 architectures start using
   this.

   (and if it turns out that non-x86 architectures don't start using
   this, then having it in an architecture-specific header is still the
   right thing to do, of course)

    datagram protocol, fix from Sasha Levin.

 5) Ipv6 multicast code uses wrong loop index, from RongQing Li.

 6) Link handling and firmware fixes in bnx2x driver from Yaniv Rosner
    and Yuval Mintz.

 7) mlx4 erroneously allocates 4 pages at a time, regardless of page
    size, fix from Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo.

 8) SCTP socket option wasn't extended in a backwards compatible way,
    fix from Thomas Graf.

 9) Add missing address change event emissions to bonding, from Shlomo
    Pongratz.

10) /proc/net/dev regressed because it uses a private offset to track
    where we are in the hash table, but this doesn't track the offset
    pullback that the seq_file code does resulting in some entries being
    missed in large dumps.

    Fix from Eric Dumazet.

11) do_tcp_sendpage() unloads the send queue way too fast, because it
    invokes tcp_push() when it shouldn't.  Let the natural sequence
    generated by the splice paths, and the assosciated MSG_MORE
    settings, guide the tcp_push() calls.

    Otherwise what goes out of TCP is spaghetti and doesn't batch
    effectively into GSO/TSO clusters.

    From Eric Dumazet.

12) Once we put a SKB into either the netlink receiver's queue or a
    socket error queue, it can be consumed and freed up, therefore we
    cannot touch it after queueing it like that.

    Fixes from Eric Dumazet.

13) PPP has this annoying behavior in that for every transmit call it
    immediately stops the TX queue, then calls down into the next layer
    to transmit the PPP frame.

    But if that next layer can take it immediately, it just un-stops the
    TX queue right before returning from the transmit method.

    Besides being useless work, it makes several facilities unusable, in
    particular things like the equalizers.  Well behaved devices should
    only stop the TX queue when they really are full, and in PPP's case
    when it gets backlogged to the downstream device.

    David Woodhouse therefore fixed PPP to not stop the TX queue until
    it's downstream can't take data any more.

14) IFF_UNICAST_FLT got accidently lost in some recent stmmac driver
    changes, re-add.  From Marc Kleine-Budde.

15) Fix link flaps in ixgbe, from Eric W. Multanen.

16) Descriptor writeback fixes in e1000e from Matthew Vick.

The above mentioned patch checks the IOAPIC and if it contains
-1, then it unmaps said IOAPIC. But under Xen we get this:

 [&lt;ffffffff812dc8d3&gt;] pci_enable_device+0x13/0x20

The reason we are dying is b/c the call acpi_get_override_irq() is used,
which returns the polarity and trigger for the IRQs. That function calls
mp_find_ioapics to get the 'struct ioapic' structure - which along with the
mp_irq[x] is used to figure out the default values and the polarity/trigger
overrides. Since the mp_find_ioapics now returns -1 [b/c the IOAPIC is filled
with 0xffffffff], the acpi_get_override_irq() stops trying to lookup in the
mp_irq[x] the proper INT_SRV_OVR and we can't install the SCI interrupt.

The proper fix for this is going in v3.5 and adds an x86_io_apic_ops
struct so that platforms can override it. But for v3.4 lets carry this
work-around. This patch does that by providing a slightly different variant
of the fake IOAPIC entries.

Pull "ARM: SoC fixes: from Olof Johansson:
 "A bunch of fixes for regressions (and a few other problems) in
  3.4-rc1:

 - Fix for regression of mach/io.h cleanup on platforms with PCI or
   PCMCIA (adding back the include file on those for now)
 - AT91 fixes for usb and spi
 - smsc911x ethernet fixes for i.MX
 - smsc911x fixes for OMAP
 - gpio fixes for Tegra
 - A handful of build error and warning fixes for various platforms
 - cpufreq kconfig dependencies, build and lowlevel debug fixes for
   Samsung platforms

  In other words, more or less the regular collection of -rc1/2 type
  material.  A few of them, in particular the smsc911x for OMAP series,
  aren't technically regressions for 3.4, but they're valid fixes and
  we're still relatively early in the rc cycle so it seems appropriate
  to include them."
