ucc_geth: Fix oops when using fixed-link support
commit
b1c4a9dddf09fe99b8f88252718ac5b357363dc4 ("ucc_geth: Change

This patch fixes the issue by removing offending (and somewhat
duplicate) code from init_phy() routine, and changes _probe()
function to use uec_mdio_bus_name().
Also, since we fully construct phy_bus_id in the _probe() routine,
we no longer need ->phy_address and ->mdio_bus fields in
ucc_geth_info structure.
I wish the patch would be a bit shorter, but it seems like the only
way to fix the issue in a sane way. Luckily, the patch has been
tested with real PHYs and fixed-link, so no further regressions
expected.

dm9000: locking bugfix
This fixes a locking bug in the dm9000 driver. It calls
request_irq() without setting IRQF_DISABLED ... which is
correct for handlers that support IRQ sharing, since that
behavior is not guaranteed for shared IRQs. However, its
IRQ handler then wrongly assumes that IRQs are blocked.
So the fix just uses the right spinlock primitives in the
IRQ handler.
NOTE: this is a classic example of the type of bug which
lockdep currently masks by forcibly setting IRQF_DISABLED
on IRQ handlers that did not request that flag.

smsc911x: reset last known duplex and carrier on open
smsc911x_phy_adjust_link is called periodically by the phy layer (as
it's run in polling mode), and it only updates the hardware when it sees
a change in duplex or carrier. This patch clears the last known values
every time the interface is brought up, instead of only when the module
is loaded.
Without this patch the adjust_link function never updates the hardware
after an ifconfig down; ifconfig up. On a full duplex link this causes
the tx error counter to increment, even though packets are correctly
transmitted, as the default MAC_CR register setting is for half duplex.
The tx errors are "no carrier" errors, which should be ignored in
full-duplex mode. When MAC_CR is set to "full duplex" mode they are
correctly ignored by the hardware.
Note that even with this patch the tx error counter can increment if
packets are transmitted between "ifconfig up" and the first phy poll
interval. An improved solution would use the phy interrupt with phylib,
but I haven't managed to make this work 100% robustly yet.

Another choice to fix this is to change callers to pass a positive

to me. Indeed, the callers of netlink_set_err() assumed that the

The cacheid_init() function assumes that if cpu_architecture() returns
7, the caches are VIPT_NONALIASING. The cpu_architecture() function
returns the version of the supported MMU features (e.g. TEX remapping)
but it doesn't make any assumptions about the cache type. The patch adds
the checking of the Cache Type Register for the ARMv7 format.

x86: oprofile: don't set counter width from cpuid on Core2
Impact: fix stuck NMIs and non-working oprofile on certain CPUs
Resetting the counter width of the performance counters on Intel's
Core2 CPUs, breaks the delivery of NMIs, when running in x86_64 mode.

netns: Remove net_alive
It turns out that net_alive is unnecessary, and the original problem
that led to it being added was simply that the icmp code thought
it was a network device and wound up being unable to handle packets
while there were still packets in the network namespace.
Now that icmp and tcp have been fixed to properly register themselves
this problem is no longer present and we have a stronger guarantee
that packets will not arrive in a network namespace then that provided
by net_alive in netif_receive_skb. So remove net_alive allowing
packet reception run a little faster.
Additionally document the strong reason why network namespace cleanup
is safe so that if something happens again someone else will have
a chance of figuring it out.

netns: Fix icmp shutdown.
Recently I had a kernel panic in icmp_send during a network namespace
cleanup. There were packets in the arp queue that failed to be sent
and we attempted to generate an ICMP host unreachable message, but
failed because icmp_sk_exit had already been called.
The network devices are removed from a network namespace and their
arp queues are flushed before we do attempt to shutdown subsystems
so this error should have been impossible.
It turns out icmp_init is using register_pernet_device instead
of register_pernet_subsys. Which resulted in icmp being shut down
while we still had the possibility of packets in flight, making
a nasty NULL pointer deference in interrupt context possible.
Changing this to register_pernet_subsys fixes the problem in
my testing.

netns: fix addrconf_ifdown kernel panic
When a network namespace is destroyed the network interfaces are
all unregistered, making addrconf_ifdown called by the netdevice
notifier.
In the other hand, the addrconf exit method does a loop on the network
devices and does addrconf_ifdown on each of them. But the ordering of
the netns subsystem is not right because it uses the register_pernet_device
instead of register_pernet_subsys. If we handle the loopback as
any network device, we can safely use register_pernet_subsys.
But if we use register_pernet_subsys, the addrconf exit method will do
exactly what was already done with the unregistering of the network
devices. So in definitive, this code is pointless.
I removed the netns addrconf exit method and moved the code to the
addrconf cleanup function.

Rather than risk destablising smsc911x, this simpler patch is preferred
