49dc957715 bcma: add PCIe host controller
Some SoCs have a PCIe host controller to make it possible to attach
some other devices to it, like an other Wifi card.
This code was tested with an Netgear WNDR3400 (bcm4716 based), but
should work with all bcma based SoCs.

A mesh node that joins the mesh network is by default a forwarding entity. This patch allows
the mesh node to set as non-forwarding entity. Whenever dot11MeshForwarding is set to 0, the

9bf04646b0 netfilter: revert user-space expectation helper support
This patch partially reverts:
3d058d7 netfilter: rework user-space expectation helper support
that was applied during the 3.2 development cycle.

After this patch, the tree remains just like before patch bc01bef,
that initially added the preliminary infrastructure.

I decided to partially revert this patch because the approach
that I proposed to resolve this problem is broken in NAT setups.
Moreover, a new infrastructure will be submitted for the 3.3.x
development cycle that resolve the existing issues while
providing a neat solution.

Since nobody has been seriously using this infrastructure in
user-space, the removal of this feature should affect any know
FOSS project (to my knowledge).

099469502f Merge branch 'akpm' (aka "Andrew's patch-bomb, take two")
Andrew explains:

 - various misc stuff

 - Most of the rest of MM: memcg, threaded hugepages, others.

 - cpumask

 - kexec

 - kdump

 - some direct-io performance tweaking

 - radix-tree optimisations

 - new selftests code

   A note on this: often people will develop a new userspace-visible
   feature and will develop userspace code to exercise/test that
   feature.  Then they merge the patch and the selftest code dies.
   Sometimes we paste it into the changelog.  Sometimes the code gets
   thrown into Documentation/(!).

   This saddens me.  So this patch creates a bare-bones framework which
   will henceforth allow me to ask people to include their test apps in
   the kernel tree so we can keep them alive.  Then when people enhance
   or fix the feature, I can ask them to update the test app too.

   The infrastruture is terribly trivial at present - let's see how it
   evolves.

 - checkpoint/restart feature work.

   A note on this: this is a project by various mad Russians to perform
   c/r mainly from userspace, with various oddball helper code added
   into the kernel where the need is demonstrated.

   So rather than some large central lump of code, what we have is
   little bits and pieces popping up in various places which either
   expose something new or which permit something which is normally
   kernel-private to be modified.

   The overall project is an ongoing thing.  I've judged that the size
   and scope of the thing means that we're more likely to be successful
   with it if we integrate the support into mainline piecemeal rather
   than allowing it all to develop out-of-tree.

   However I'm less confident than the developers that it will all
   eventually work! So what I'm asking them to do is to wrap each piece
   of new code inside CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE.  So if it all
   eventually comes to tears and the project as a whole fails, it should
   be a simple matter to go through and delete all trace of it.

This lot pretty much wraps up the -rc1 merge for me.

028ee4be34 c/r: prctl: add PR_SET_MM codes to set up mm_struct entries
When we restore a task we need to set up text, data and data heap sizes
from userspace to the values a task had at checkpoint time.  This patch
adds auxilary prctl codes for that.

While most of them have a statistical nature (their values are involved
into calculation of /proc/<pid>/statm output) the start_brk and brk values
are used to compute an allowed size of program data segment expansion.
Which means an arbitrary changes of this values might be dangerous
operation.  So to restrict access the following requirements applied to
prctl calls:

 - The process has to have CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability granted.
 - For all opcodes except start_brk/brk members an appropriate
   VMA area must exist and should fit certain VMA flags,
   such as:
   - code segment must be executable but not writable;
   - data segment must not be executable.

start_brk/brk values must not intersect with data segment and must not
exceed RLIMIT_DATA resource limit.

Still the main guard is CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability check.

Note the kernel should be compiled with CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE support
otherwise these prctl calls will return -EINVAL.

87192a2a49 vfs: cache request_queue in struct block_device
This makes it possible to get from the inode to the request_queue with one
less cache miss.  Used in followon optimization.

The livetime of the pointer is the same as the gendisk.

This assumes that the queue will always stay the same in the gendisk while
it's visible to block_devices.  I think that's safe correct?

1f536b9e9f include/linux/crash_dump.h needs elf.h
Building an ARM target we get the following warnings:

  CC      arch/arm/kernel/setup.o
  In file included from arch/arm/kernel/setup.c:39:
  arch/arm/include/asm/elf.h:102:1: warning: "vmcore_elf64_check_arch" redefined
  In file included from arch/arm/kernel/setup.c:24:
  include/linux/crash_dump.h:30:1: warning: this is the location of the previous definition

Quoting Russell King:

"linux/crash_dump.h makes no attempt to include asm/elf.h, but it depends
on stuff in asm/elf.h to determine how stuff inside this file is defined
at parse time.

So, if asm/elf.h is included after linux/crash_dump.h or not at all, you
get a different result from the situation where asm/elf.h is included
before."

So add elf.h header to crash_dump.h to avoid this problem.

2bcf887963 mm: take pagevecs off reclaim stack
Replace pagevecs in putback_lru_pages() and move_active_pages_to_lru()
by lists of pages_to_free: then apply Konstantin Khlebnikov's
free_hot_cold_page_list() to them instead of pagevec_release().

Which simplifies the flow (no need to drop and retake lock whenever
pagevec fills up) and reduces stale addresses in stack backtraces
(which often showed through the pagevecs); but more importantly,
removes another 120 bytes from the deepest stacks in page reclaim.
Although I've not recently seen an actual stack overflow here with
a vanilla kernel, move_active_pages_to_lru() has often featured in
deep backtraces.

However, free_hot_cold_page_list() does not handle compound pages
(nor need it: a Transparent HugePage would have been split by the
time it reaches the call in shrink_page_list()), but it is possible
for putback_lru_pages() or move_active_pages_to_lru() to be left
holding the last reference on a THP, so must exclude the unlikely
compound case before putting on pages_to_free.

Remove pagevec_strip(), its work now done in move_active_pages_to_lru().
The pagevec in scan_mapping_unevictable_pages() remains in mm/vmscan.c,
but that is never on the reclaim path, and cannot be replaced by a list.
