S3 sleep requires special setup in tboot. However, the data
structures needed to do such setup are only available if
CONFIG_ACPI_SLEEP is enabled. Abstract them out as much as possible,
so we can have a single tboot_setup_sleep() which either is a proper
implementation or a stub which simply calls BUG().

arch/x86/kernel/tboot.c needs <asm/fixmap.h>. In most configurations
that ends up getting implicitly included, but not in all, causing

The tboot module will DMA protect all of memory in order to ensure the that
kernel will be able to initialize without compromise (from DMA). Consequently,
the kernel must enable Intel Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O
(VT-d or Intel IOMMU) in order to replace this broad protection with the
appropriate page-granular protection. Otherwise DMA devices will be unable
to read or write from memory and the kernel will eventually panic.
Because runtime IOMMU support is configurable by command line options, this
patch will force it to be enabled regardless of the options specified, and will
log a message if it was required to force it on.

Support for graceful handling of sleep states (S3/S4/S5) after an Intel(R) TXT launch.
Without this patch, attempting to place the system in one of the ACPI sleep
states (S3/S4/S5) will cause the TXT hardware to treat this as an attack and
will cause a system reset, with memory locked. Not only may the subsequent
memory scrub take some time, but the platform will be unable to enter the
requested power state.
This patch calls back into the tboot so that it may properly and securely clean
up system state and clear the secrets-in-memory flag, after which it will place
the system into the requested sleep state using ACPI information passed by the kernel.

Support for graceful handling of kernel reboots after an Intel(R) TXT launch.
Without this patch, attempting to reboot or halt the system will cause the
TXT hardware to lock memory upon system restart because the secrets-in-memory
flag that was set on launch was never cleared. This will in turn cause BIOS
to execute a TXT Authenticated Code Module (ACM) that will scrub all of memory
and then unlock it. Depending on the amount of memory in the system and its type,
this may take some time.
This patch creates a 1:1 address mapping to the tboot module and then calls back
into tboot so that it may properly and securely clean up system state and clear
the secrets-in-memory flag. When it has completed these steps, the tboot module
will reboot or halt the system.

This patch adds kernel configuration and boot support for Intel Trusted
Execution Technology (Intel TXT).
Intel's technology for safer computing, Intel Trusted Execution
Technology (Intel TXT), defines platform-level enhancements that
provide the building blocks for creating trusted platforms.
Intel TXT was formerly known by the code name LaGrande Technology (LT).
Intel TXT in Brief:
o Provides dynamic root of trust for measurement (DRTM)
o Data protection in case of improper shutdown
o Measurement and verification of launched environment
Intel TXT is part of the vPro(TM) brand and is also available some
non-vPro systems. It is currently available on desktop systems based on
the Q35, X38, Q45, and Q43 Express chipsets (e.g. Dell Optiplex 755, HP
dc7800, etc.) and mobile systems based on the GM45, PM45, and GS45
Express chipsets.
For more information, see http://www.intel.com/technology/security/.
This site also has a link to the Intel TXT MLE Developers Manual, which
has been updated for the new released platforms.
A much more complete description of how these patches support TXT, how to
configure a system for it, etc. is in the Documentation/intel_txt.txt file
in this patch.
This patch provides the TXT support routines for complete functionality,
documentation for TXT support and for the changes to the boot_params structure,
and boot detection of a TXT launch. Attempts to shutdown (reboot, Sx) the system
will result in platform resets; subsequent patches will support these shutdown modes
properly.

Standard data flow for MMC/SD/SDIO cards requires that the mvsdio
controller be set for big endian operation. This is causing problems
with buffers which length is not a multiple of 4 bytes as the last
partial word doesn't get shifted all the way and stored properly in
memory. Let's compensate for this.

If spin_lock_irqsave is called twice in a row with the same second
argument, the interrupt state at the point of the second call overwrites
the value saved by the first call. Indeed, the second call does not
need to save the interrupt state, so it is changed to a simple
spin_lock.
The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows:
(http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/)
// <smpl>

expression lock1,lock2;
expression flags;

*spin_lock_irqsave(lock1,flags)

The buffer for the consoles are unconditionally allocated at con_init()
time, which miss the creation of the vcs(a) devices.

hook sysfs devices into object lifetime instead of "binding"' to be
exact) these devices are no longer created at open() and removed on
close(), but controlled by the lifetime of the buffers.

The BSS section macros in vmlinux.lds.h currently place the .sbss
input section outside the bounds of [__bss_start, __bss_end]. On all
architectures except for microblaze that handle both .sbss and
__bss_start/__bss_end, this is wrong: the .sbss input section is
within the range [__bss_start, __bss_end]. Relatedly, the example
code at the top of the file actually has __bss_start/__bss_end defined
twice; I believe the right fix here is to define them in the
BSS_SECTION macro but not in the BSS macro.
Another problem with the current macros is that several
architectures have an ALIGN(4) or some other small number just before
__bss_stop in their linker scripts. The BSS_SECTION macro currently
hardcodes this to 4; while it should really be an argument. It also
ignores its sbss_align argument; fix that.
mn10300 is the only user at present of any of the macros touched by
this patch. It looks like mn10300 actually was incorrectly converted
to use the new BSS() macro (the alignment of 4 prior to conversion was
a __bss_stop alignment, but the argument to the BSS macro is a start
alignment). So fix this as well.
I'd like acks from Sam and David on this one. Also CCing Paul, since
he has a patch from me which will need to be updated to use
BSS_SECTION(0, PAGE_SIZE, 4) once this gets merged.

ftrace_trace_onoff_callback() will return an error even if we do the
right operation, for example:
# echo _spin_*:traceon:10 > set_ftrace_filter
-bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
# cat set_ftrace_filter
#### all functions enabled ####
_spin_trylock_bh:traceon:count=10
_spin_unlock_irq:traceon:count=10
_spin_unlock_bh:traceon:count=10
_spin_lock_irq:traceon:count=10
_spin_unlock:traceon:count=10
_spin_trylock:traceon:count=10
_spin_unlock_irqrestore:traceon:count=10
_spin_lock_irqsave:traceon:count=10
_spin_lock_bh:traceon:count=10
_spin_lock:traceon:count=10
We want to set _spin_*:traceon:10 to set_ftrace_filter, it complains
with "Invalid argument", but the operation is successful.
This is because ftrace_process_regex() returns the number of functions that
matched the pattern. If the number is not 0, this value is returned
by ftrace_regex_write() whereas we want to return the number of bytes
virtually written.
Also the file offset pointer is not updated in this case.
If the number of matched functions is lower than the number of bytes written
by the user, this results to a reprocessing of the string given by the user with
a lower size, leading to a malformed ftrace regex and then a -EINVAL returned.
So, this patch fixes it by returning 0 if no error occured.
The fix also applies on 2.6.30

If a tty in N_TTY mode with echo enabled manages to get itself into a state
where
- echo characters are pending
- FASYNC is enabled
- tty_write_wakeup is called from either
- a device write path (pty)
- an IRQ (serial)
then it either deadlocks or explodes taking a mutex in the IRQ path.
On the serial side it is almost impossible to reproduce because you have to
go from a full serial port to a near empty one with echo characters
pending. The pty case happens to have become possible to trigger using
emacs and ptys, the pty changes having created a scenario which shows up
this bug.
The code path is
n_tty:process_echoes() (takes mutex)
tty_io:tty_put_char()
pty:pty_write (or serial paths)
tty_wakeup (from pty_write or serial IRQ)
n_tty_write_wakeup()
