c790923499 hexdump: more output formatting
Add a prefix string parameter.  Callers are responsible for any string
length/alignment that they want to see in the output.  I.e., callers should
pad strings to achieve alignment if they want that.

Add rowsize parameter.  This is the number of raw data bytes to be printed
per line.  Must be 16 or 32.

Add a groupsize parameter.  This allows callers to dump values as 1-byte,
2-byte, 4-byte, or 8-byte numbers.  Default is 1-byte numbers.  If the
total length is not an even multiple of groupsize, 1-byte numbers are
printed.

Add an "ascii" output parameter.  This causes ASCII data output following
the hex data output.

Clean up some doc examples.

Align the ASCII output on all lines that are produced by one call.

Add a new interface, print_hex_dump_bytes(), that is a shortcut to
print_hex_dump(), using default parameter values to print 16 bytes in
byte-size chunks of hex + ASCII output, using printk level KERN_DEBUG.

778e9a9c3e pi-futex: fix exit races and locking problems
1. New entries can be added to tsk->pi_state_list after task completed
   exit_pi_state_list(). The result is memory leakage and deadlocks.

2. handle_mm_fault() is called under spinlock. The result is obvious.

3. results in self-inflicted deadlock inside glibc.
   Sometimes futex_lock_pi returns -ESRCH, when it is not expected
   and glibc enters to for(;;) sleep() to simulate deadlock. This problem
   is quite obvious and I think the patch is right. Though it looks like
   each "if" in futex_lock_pi() got some stupid special case "else if". :-)

4. sometimes futex_lock_pi() returns -EDEADLK,
   when nobody has the lock. The reason is also obvious (see comment
   in the patch), but correct fix is far beyond my comprehension.
   I guess someone already saw this, the chunk:

                        if (rt_mutex_trylock(&q.pi_state->pi_mutex))
                                ret = 0;

   is obviously from the same opera. But it does not work, because the
   rtmutex is really taken at this point: wake_futex_pi() of previous
   owner reassigned it to us. My fix works. But it looks very stupid.
   I would think about removal of shift of ownership in wake_futex_pi()
   and making all the work in context of process taking lock.

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

Fix 1) Avoid the tasklist lock variant of the exit race fix by adding
    an additional state transition to the exit code.

    This fixes also the issue, when a task with recursive segfaults
    is not able to release the futexes.

Fix 2) Cleanup the lookup_pi_state() failure path and solve the -ESRCH
    problem finally.

Fix 3) Solve the fixup_pi_state_owner() problem which needs to do the fixup
    in the lock protected section by using the in_atomic userspace access
    functions.

    This removes also the ugly lock drop / unqueue inside of fixup_pi_state()

Fix 4) Fix a stale lock in the error path of futex_wake_pi()

Added some error checks for verification.

The -EDEADLK problem is solved by the rtmutex fixups.

272c1d21d6 SLUB: return ZERO_SIZE_PTR for kmalloc(0)
Instead of returning the smallest available object return ZERO_SIZE_PTR.

A ZERO_SIZE_PTR can be legitimately used as an object pointer as long as it
is not deferenced.  The dereference of ZERO_SIZE_PTR causes a distinctive
fault.  kfree can handle a ZERO_SIZE_PTR in the same way as NULL.

This enables functions to use zero sized object. e.g. n = number of objects.

	objects = kmalloc(n * sizeof(object));

	for (i = 0; i < n; i++)
		objects[i].x = y;

	kfree(objects);

4c1b52bc7a [NETFILTER]: ip_tables: fix compat related crash
check_compat_entry_size_and_hooks iterates over the matches and calls
compat_check_calc_match, which loads the match and calculates the
compat offsets, but unlike the non-compat version, doesn't call
->checkentry yet. On error however it calls cleanup_matches, which in
turn calls ->destroy, which can result in crashes if the destroy
function (validly) expects to only get called after the checkentry
function.

Add a compat_release_match function that only drops the module reference
on error and rename compat_check_calc_match to compat_find_calc_match to
reflect the fact that it doesn't call the checkentry function.

71e27da961 [IPV4]: Restore old behaviour of default config values
Previously inet devices were only constructed when addresses are added
(or rarely in ipmr).  Therefore the default config values they get are
the ones at the time of these operations.

Now that we're creating inet devices earlier, this changes the
behaviour of default config values in an incompatible way (see bug
#8519).

This patch creates a compromise by setting the default values at the
same point as before but only for those that have not been explicitly
set by the user since the inet device's creation.

31be308541 [IPV4]: Add default config support after inetdev_init
Previously once inetdev_init has been called on a device any changes
made to ipv4_devconf_dflt would have no effect on that device's
configuration.

This creates a problem since we have moved the point where
inetdev_init is called from when an address is added to where the
device is registered.

This patch is the first half of a set that tries to mimic the old
behaviour while still calling inetdev_init.

It propagates any changes to ipv4_devconf_dflt to those devices that
have not had the corresponding attribute set.

The next patch will forcibly set all values at the point where
inetdev_init was previously called.

464cf177df libata: always use polling SETXFER
Several people have reported LITE-ON LTR-48246S detection failed
because SETXFER fails.  It seems the device raises IRQ too early after
SETXFER.  This is controller independent.  The same problem has been
reported for different controllers.

So, now we have pata_via where the controller raises IRQ before it's
ready after SETXFER and a device which does similar thing.  This patch
makes libata always execute SETXFER via polling.  As this only happens
during EH, performance impact is nil.  Setting ATA_TFLAG_POLLING is
also moved from issue hot path to ata_dev_set_xfermode() - the only
place where SETXFER can be issued.

Note that ATA_TFLAG_POLLING applies only to drivers which implement
SFF TF interface and use libata HSM.  More advanced controllers ignore
the flag.  This doesn't matter for this fix as SFF TF controllers are
the problematic ones.

184b812f7d PCI: quirk disable MSI on via vt3351
The Via VT3351 APIC does not play well with MSI and unleashes a flood
of APIC errors when MSI is used to deliver interrupts.  The problem
was recently exposed when the atl1 network device driver, which enables
MSI by default, stimulated APIC errors on an Asus M2V mainboard, which
employs the Via VT3351.
See http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8472 for additional
details on this bug.

On several systems that use the following Severworks HT1000 (also sometimes
labeled as a Broadcom chipset as well) bridge chips.  It doesn't appear MSI
