 "Here is the non-critical part of kbuild:
   - One bogus coccinelle check removed, one check fixed not to suggest
     the obsolete PTR_RET macro
   - scripts/tags.sh does not index the generated *.mod.c files
   - new objdiff tool to list differences between two versions of an
     object file
   - A fix for scripts/bootgraph.pl"

* 'misc' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mmarek/kbuild:
  scripts/coccinelle: Use PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO
  scripts/bootgraph.pl: Add graphic header

      sym53c8xx_2: Set DID_REQUEUE return code when aborting squeue · fd1232b2
      Mikulas Patocka authored 
      

This patch fixes I/O errors with the sym53c8xx_2 driver when the disk
returns QUEUE FULL status.

When the controller encounters an error (including QUEUE FULL or BUSY
status), it aborts all not yet submitted requests in the function
sym_dequeue_from_squeue.

This function aborts them with DID_SOFT_ERROR.

If the disk has full tag queue, the request that caused the overflow is
aborted with QUEUE FULL status (and the scsi midlayer properly retries
it until it is accepted by the disk), but the sym53c8xx_2 driver aborts
the following requests with DID_SOFT_ERROR --- for them, the midlayer
does just a few retries and then signals the error up to sd.

The result is that disk returning QUEUE FULL causes request failures.

The error was reproduced on 53c895 with COMPAQ BD03685A24 disk
(rebranded ST336607LC) with command queue 48 or 64 tags.  The disk has
64 tags, but under some access patterns it return QUEUE FULL when there
are less than 64 pending tags.  The SCSI specification allows returning
QUEUE FULL anytime and it is up to the host to retry.

      powerpc: Don't try to set LPCR unless we're in hypervisor mode · 18aa0da3
      Paul Mackerras authored 
      Commit 8f619b54

 ("powerpc/ppc64: Do not turn AIL (reloc-on
interrupts) too early") added code to set the AIL bit in the LPCR
without checking whether the kernel is running in hypervisor mode.  The
result is that when the kernel is running as a guest (i.e., under
PowerKVM or PowerVM), the processor takes a privileged instruction
interrupt at that point, causing a panic.  The visible result is that
the kernel hangs after printing "returning from prom_init".

This fixes it by checking for hypervisor mode being available before
setting LPCR.  If we are not in hypervisor mode, we enable relocation-on
interrupts later in pSeries_setup_arch using the H_SET_MODE hcall.

      futex: update documentation for ordering guarantees · d7e8af1a
      Davidlohr Bueso authored 
      Commits 11d4616b ("futex: revert back to the explicit waiter
counting code") and 69cd9eba

 ("futex: avoid race between requeue and
wake") changed some of the finer details of how we think about futexes.
One was a late fix and the other a consequence of overlooking the whole
requeuing logic.

The first change caused our documentation to be incorrect, and the
second made us aware that we need to explicitly add more details to it.

      Pull yet more networking updates from David Miller:

 1) Various fixes to the new Redpine Signals wireless driver, from
    Fariya Fatima.

 2) L2TP PPP connect code takes PMTU from the wrong socket, fix from
    Dmitry Petukhov.

 3) UFO and TSO packets differ in whether they include the protocol
    header in gso_size, account for that in skb_gso_transport_seglen().
   From Florian Westphal.

 4) If VLAN untagging fails, we double free the SKB in the bridging
    output path.  From Toshiaki Makita.

 5) Several call sites of sk->sk_data_ready() were referencing an SKB
    just added to the socket receive queue in order to calculate the
    second argument via skb->len.  This is dangerous because the moment
    the skb is added to the receive queue it can be consumed in another
    context and freed up.

    It turns out also that none of the sk->sk_data_ready()
    implementations even care about this second argument.

    So just kill it off and thus fix all these use-after-free bugs as a
    side effect.

 6) Fix inverted test in tcp_v6_send_response(), from Lorenzo Colitti.

 7) pktgen needs to do locking properly for LLTX devices, from Daniel
    Borkmann.

 8) xen-netfront driver initializes TX array entries in RX loop :-) From
    Vincenzo Maffione.

 9) After refactoring, some tunnel drivers allow a tunnel to be
    configured on top itself.  Fix from Nicolas Dichtel.
