[PATCH] tpm: improve output in sysfs files when the TPM fails

Since after reconsideration this is more debug output than an error (the
TPM is operating correctly given the current state) I have changed the
statements to dbg rather than err.

This patch to adds "power cycle" functionality to the IPMI power off module
ipmi_poweroff.  It also contains changes to support procfs control of the
feature.

The power cycle action is considered an optional chassis control in the IPMI
specification.  However, it is definitely useful when the hardware supports
it.  A power cycle is usually required in order to reset a firmware in a bad
state.  This action is critical to allow remote management of servers.

The implementation adds power cycle as optional to the ipmi_poweroff module.
It can be modified dynamically through the proc entry mentioned above.  During
a power down and enabled, the power cycle command is sent to the BMC firmware.
 If it fails either due to non-support or some error, it will retry to send
the command as power off.

The Xtensa architecture is highly configurable and usually buried inside an
SOC device.  So, if you buy a new printer, digital camera, or cell phone,
there is a chance that there is an Xtensa inside even though you don't know it
(sometimes as a small audio-engine or as a control CPU).  Linux hasn't been
adopted widely with Xtensa yet, but with Linux growing in the embedded space,
I am sure it will become much more important.

[PATCH] Keys: Make request-key create an authorisation key

The attached patch makes the following changes:

 (1) There's a new special key type called ".request_key_auth".

     This is an authorisation key for when one process requests a key and
     another process is started to construct it. This type of key cannot be
     created by the user; nor can it be requested by kernel services.

     Authorisation keys hold two references:

     (a) Each refers to a key being constructed. When the key being
       constructed is instantiated the authorisation key is revoked,
       rendering it of no further use.

     (b) The "authorising process". This is either:

       (i) the process that called request_key(), or:

       (ii) if the process that called request_key() itself had an
            authorisation key in its session keyring, then the authorising
            process referred to by that authorisation key will also be
            referred to by the new authorisation key.

 This means that the process that initiated a chain of key requests
 will authorise the lot of them, and will, by default, wind up with
 the keys obtained from them in its keyrings.

 (2) request_key() creates an authorisation key which is then passed to
     /sbin/request-key in as part of a new session keyring.

 (3) When request_key() is searching for a key to hand back to the caller, if
     it comes across an authorisation key in the session keyring of the
     calling process, it will also search the keyrings of the process
     specified therein and it will use the specified process's credentials
     (fsuid, fsgid, groups) to do that rather than the calling process's
     credentials.

     This allows a process started by /sbin/request-key to find keys belonging
     to the authorising process.

 (4) A key can be read, even if the process executing KEYCTL_READ doesn't have
     direct read or search permission if that key is contained within the
     keyrings of a process specified by an authorisation key found within the
     calling process's session keyring, and is searchable using the
     credentials of the authorising process.

     This allows a process started by /sbin/request-key to read keys belonging
     to the authorising process.

 (5) The magic KEY_SPEC_*_KEYRING key IDs when passed to KEYCTL_INSTANTIATE or
     KEYCTL_NEGATE will specify a keyring of the authorising process, rather
     than the process doing the instantiation.

 (6) One of the process keyrings can be nominated as the default to which
     request_key() should attach new keys if not otherwise specified. This is
     done with KEYCTL_SET_REQKEY_KEYRING and one of the KEY_REQKEY_DEFL_*
     constants. The current setting can also be read using this call.

 (7) request_key() is partially interruptible. If it is waiting for another
     process to finish constructing a key, it can be interrupted. This permits
     a request-key cycle to be broken without recourse to rebooting.

[PATCH] Keys: Use RCU to manage session keyring pointer

[PATCH] keys: Discard key spinlock and use RCU for key payload

The attached patch changes the key implementation in a number of ways:

 (1) It removes the spinlock from the key structure.

 (2) The key flags are now accessed using atomic bitops instead of
     write-locking the key spinlock and using C bitwise operators.

     The three instantiation flags are dealt with with the construction
     semaphore held during the request_key/instantiate/negate sequence, thus
     rendering the spinlock superfluous.

     The key flags are also now bit numbers not bit masks.

 (3) The key payload is now accessed using RCU. This permits the recursive
     keyring search algorithm to be simplified greatly since no locks need be
     taken other than the usual RCU preemption disablement. Searching now does
     not require any locks or semaphores to be held; merely that the starting
     keyring be pinned.

 (4) The keyring payload now includes an RCU head so that it can be disposed
     of by call_rcu(). This requires that the payload be copied on unlink to
     prevent introducing races in copy-down vs search-up.

 (5) The user key payload is now a structure with the data following it. It
     includes an RCU head like the keyring payload and for the same reason. It
     also contains a data length because the data length in the key may be
     changed on another CPU whilst an RCU protected read is in progress on the

H-TCP is defined in a layered manner as it is still a research platform. The
basic form includes the modification of beta according to the ratio of maxRTT
to min RTT and the alpha=2*factor*(1-beta) relation, where factor is dependant
on the time since last congestion.

The other layers improve convergence by adding appropriate factors to alpha.

[PATCH] Bug in error recovery in fs/buffer.c::__block_prepare_write()

fs/buffer.c::__block_prepare_write() has broken error recovery.  It calls
the get_block() callback with "create = 1" and if that succeeds it
immediately clears buffer_new on the just allocated buffer (which has
buffer_new set).

The bug is that if an error occurs and get_block() returns != 0, we break
from this loop and go into recovery code.  This code has this comment:

/* Error case: */
/*
 * Zero out any newly allocated blocks to avoid exposing stale
 * data.  If BH_New is set, we know that the block was newly
 * allocated in the above loop.
 */

So the intent is obviously good in that it wants to clear just allocated
and hence not zeroed buffers.  However the code recognises allocated
buffers by checking for buffer_new being set.

Unfortunately __block_prepare_write() as discussed above already cleared
buffer_new on all allocated buffers thus no buffers will be cleared during
error recovery and old data will be leaked.

The simplest way I can see to fix this is to make the current recovery code
work by _not_ clearing buffer_new after calling get_block() in
__block_prepare_write().

We cannot safely allow buffer_new buffers to "leak out" of
__block_prepare_write(), thus we simply do a quick loop over the buffers
clearing buffer_new on each of them if it is set just before returning
"success" from __block_prepare_write().

[PATCH] adjust per_cpu definition in non-SMP case

Fix (in the architectures I'm actually building for) the UP definition of
per_cpu so that the cpu specified may be any expression, not just an
identifier or a suffix expression.

[PATCH] Don't force O_LARGEFILE for 32 bit processes on ia64

In ia64 kernel, the O_LARGEFILE flag is forced when opening a file.  This
is problematic for execution of 32 bit processes, which are not largefile
aware, either by SW emulation or by HW execution.

For such processes, the problem is two-fold:

1) When trying to open a file that is larger than 4G
   the operation should fail, but it's not
2) Writing to offset larger than 4G should fail, but
   it's not

The proposed patch takes advantage of the way 32 bit processes are
identified in ia64 systems.  Such processes have PER_LINUX32 for their
personality.  With the patch, the ia64 kernel will not enforce the
O_LARGEFILE flag if the current process has PER_LINUX32 set.  The behavior
for all other architectures remains unchanged.
