There are many different UUID/GUID definitions in kernel, such as that
in EFI, many file systems, some drivers, etc. Every kernel components
need UUID/GUID has its own definition. This patch provides a unified
definition for UUID/GUID.
UUID is defined via typedef. This makes that UUID appears more like a
preliminary type, and makes the data type explicit (comparing with
implicit "u8 uuid[16]").
The binary representation of UUID/GUID can be little-endian (used by
EFI, etc) or big-endian (defined by RFC4122), so both is defined.

Hardware Error Device (PNP0C33) is used to report some hardware errors
notified via SCI, mainly the corrected errors. Some APEI Generic
Hardware Error Source (GHES) may use SCI on hardware error device to
notify hardware error to kernel.
After receiving notification from ACPI core, it is forwarded to all
listeners via a notifier chain. The listener such as APEI GHES should
check corresponding error source for new events when notified.

Now, a dedicated HEST tabling parsing code is used for PCIE AER
firmware_first setup. It is rebased on general HEST tabling parsing
code of APEI. The firmware_first setup code is moved from PCI core to
AER driver too, because it is only AER related.

HEST describes error sources in detail; communicating operational
parameters (i.e. severity levels, masking bits, and threshold values)
to OS as necessary. It also allows the platform to report error
sources for which OS would typically not implement support (for
example, chipset-specific error registers).
HEST information may be needed by other subsystems. For example, HEST
PCIE AER error source information describes whether a PCIE root port
works in "firmware first" mode, this is needed by general PCIE AER
error subsystem. So a public HEST tabling parsing interface is
provided.

APEI stands for ACPI Platform Error Interface, which allows to report
errors (for example from the chipset) to the operating system. This
improves NMI handling especially. In addition it supports error
serialization and error injection.
For more information about APEI, please refer to ACPI Specification
version 4.0, chapter 17.
This patch provides some common functions used by more than one APEI
tables, mainly framework of interpreter for EINJ and ERST.
A machine readable language is defined for EINJ and ERST for OS to
execute, and so to drive the firmware to fulfill the corresponding
functions. The machine language for EINJ and ERST is compatible, so a
common framework is defined for them.

Some ACPI IO accessing need to be done in atomic context. For example,
APEI ERST operations may be used for permanent storage in hardware
error handler. That is, it may be called in atomic contexts such as
IRQ or NMI, etc. And, ERST/EINJ implement their operations via IO
memory/port accessing. But the IO memory accessing method provided by
ACPI (acpi_read/acpi_write) maps the IO memory during it is accessed,
so it can not be used in atomic context. To solve the issue, the IO
memory should be pre-mapped during EINJ/ERST initializing. A linked
list is used to record which memory area has been mapped, when memory
is accessed in hardware error handler, search the linked list for the
mapped virtual address from the given physical address.

Now we have a set of nested attributes:
IFLA_VFINFO_LIST (NESTED)
IFLA_VF_INFO (NESTED)
IFLA_VF_MAC
IFLA_VF_VLAN
IFLA_VF_TX_RATE
This allows a single set to operate on multiple attributes if desired.
Among other things, it means a dump can be replayed to set state.
The current interface has yet to be released, so this seems like
something to consider for 2.6.34.

TCP MD5 support uses percpu data for temporary storage. It currently
disables preemption so that same storage cannot be reclaimed by another
thread on same cpu.
We also have to make sure a softirq handler wont try to use also same
context. Various bug reports demonstrated corruptions.
Fix is to disable preemption and BH.

In the FPU emulator code of the MIPS, the Cause bits of the FCSR register
are not currently writeable by the ctc1 instruction. In odd corner cases,
this can cause problems. For example, a case existed where a divide-by-zero
exception was generated by the FPU, and the signal handler attempted to
restore the FPU registers to their state before the exception occurred. In
this particular setup, writing the old value to the FCSR register would
cause another divide-by-zero exception to occur immediately. The solution
is to change the ctc1 instruction emulator code to allow the Cause bits of
the FCSR register to be writeable. This is the behaviour of the hardware
that the code is emulating.
This problem was found by Shane McDonald, but the credit for the fix goes
to Kevin Kissell. In Kevin's words:
I submit that the bug is indeed in that ctc_op: case of the emulator. The
Cause bits (17:12) are supposed to be writable by that instruction, but the
CTC1 emulation won't let them be updated by the instruction. I think that
actually if you just completely removed lines 387-388 [...] things would
work a good deal better. At least, it would be a more accurate emulation of
the architecturally defined FPU. If I wanted to be really, really pedantic
(which I sometimes do), I'd also protect the reserved bits that aren't
necessarily writable.
