PPP support in generic HDLC in Linux 2.6.25 is broken and will cause
a kernel panic when a device configured in PPP mode is activated.
It will be replaced by new PPP implementation after Linux 2.6.25 is
released.
This affects only PPP support in generic HDLC (mostly Hitachi SCA
and SCA-II based drivers, wanxl, and few others). Standalone syncppp
and async PPP support are not affected.

This critical patch fixes a mac address issue recently introduced. If the
device's mac address was in correct order and the flag
NVREG_TRANSMITPOLL_MAC_ADDR_REV was set, during nv_remove the flag would get
cleared. During next load, the mac address would get reversed because the
flag is missing.
As it has been indicated previously, the flag is cleared across a low power
transition. Therefore, the driver should set the mac address back into the
reversed order when clearing the flag.
Also, the driver should set back the flag after a low power transition to
protect against kexec command calling nv_probe a second time.

Correctly determine the address of an illegal instruction. The EPCR0 register
holds this value (masked by EPCR0_PC) if the validity bit is set (masked by
EPCR0_V). So the test as to whether the contents of the register are usable
should be involve checking the _V bit, not the _PC bits.

Checkpatch will throw an error if code doesn't use the correct initializers
for static spinlocks:
ERROR: Use of SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED is deprecated: see Documentation/spinlocks.txt
This is fine, but Documentation/spinlocks.txt isn't very clear on how to
_use_ the new initializers for static variables. To save people time in the
future, I added two small examples of how to fix old-style static
initializers to be more lockdep friendly.

git commit 54a015104136974262afa4b8ddd943ea70dec8a2 ("asmlinkage_protect
replaces prevent_tail_call") causes this build failure on s390:
AS arch/s390/kernel/entry64.o
In file included from arch/s390/kernel/entry64.S:14:
include/linux/linkage.h:34: error: syntax error in macro parameter list
make[1]: *** [arch/s390/kernel/entry64.o] Error 1
make: *** [arch/s390/kernel] Error 2
and some other architectures. The reason is that some architectures add
the "-traditional" flag to the invocation of $(AS), which disables
variadic macro argument support.
So just surround the new define with an #ifndef __ASSEMBLY__ to prevent
any side effects on asm code.

I have recently bought some USB PIDs from EZPrototypes for my USB projects
and one will be for the i2c-tiny-usb. I have not yet started to use the new
one in the official i2c-tiny-usb firmware since i think it makes sense to get
the change into the kernel before releasing a modified firmware.
This patch adds support for the EZPrototypes USB vid/pid pair used in later
i2c-tiny-usb firmware versions (avrusb v1.06 and up, usbtiny v2.06 and up).

This fixes kernel bugzilla 10371.
As reported by M.Piechaczek@osmosys.tv, if we try to grab a
char sized socket option value, as in:
unsigned char ttl = 255;
socklen_t len = sizeof(ttl);
setsockopt(socket, IPPROTO_IP, IP_MULTICAST_TTL, &ttl, &len);
getsockopt(socket, IPPROTO_IP, IP_MULTICAST_TTL, &ttl, &len);
The ttl returned will be wrong on big-endian, and on both little-
endian and big-endian the next three bytes in userspace are written
with garbage.
It's because of this test in do_ip_getsockopt():
if (len < sizeof(int) && len > 0 && val>=0 && val<255) {
It should allow a 'val' of 255 to pass here, but it doesn't so it
copies a full 'int' back to userspace.
On little-endian that will write the correct value into the location
but it spams on the next three bytes in userspace. On big endian it
writes the wrong value into the location and spams the next three
bytes.

Without this patch, the generic L3 tracker would kick in
if nf_conntrack_ipv4 was not loaded before nf_nat, which
would lead to translation problems with ICMP errors.

Commit df9dcb45 ([IPSEC]: Fix inter address family IPsec tunnel handling)
broke openswan by removing the selector initialization for tunnel mode
in case it is uninitialized.
This patch restores the initialization, fixing openswan, but probably
breaking inter-family tunnels again (unknown since the patch author
disappeared). The correct thing for inter-family tunnels is probably
to simply initialize the selector family explicitly.

If print_mac() is used inside of a pr_debug() the compiler
can't see that the call is redundant so still performs it
even of pr_debug() ends up being a nop.
So don't use print_mac() in such cases in hot code paths,
use MAC_FMT et al. instead.
As noted by Joe Perches, pr_debug() could be modified to
handle this better, but that is a change to an interface
used by the entire kernel and thus needs to be validated
carefully. This here is thus the less risky fix for
2.6.25

MTU probe can cause some remedies for FRTO because the normal
packet ordering may be violated allowing FRTO to make a wrong
decision (it might not be that serious threat for anything
though). Thus it's safer to not run FRTO while MTU probe is
underway.
It seems that the basic FRTO variant should also look for an
skb at probe_seq.start to check if that's retransmitted one
but I didn't implement it now (plain seqno in window check
isn't robust against wraparounds).

This fixes Bugzilla #10384
tcp_simple_retransmit does L increment without any checking
whatsoever for overflowing S+L when Reno is in use.
The simplest scenario I can currently think of is rather
complex in practice (there might be some more straightforward
cases though). Ie., if mss is reduced during mtu probing, it
may end up marking everything lost and if some duplicate ACKs
arrived prior to that sacked_out will be non-zero as well,
leading to S+L > packets_out, tcp_clean_rtx_queue on the next
cumulative ACK or tcp_fastretrans_alert on the next duplicate
ACK will fix the S counter.
More straightforward (but questionable) solution would be to
just call tcp_reset_reno_sack() in tcp_simple_retransmit but
it would negatively impact the probe's retransmission, ie.,
the retransmissions would not occur if some duplicate ACKs
had arrived.
So I had to add reno sacked_out reseting to CA_Loss state
when the first cumulative ACK arrives (this stale sacked_out
might actually be the explanation for the reports of left_out
overflows in kernel prior to 2.6.23 and S+L overflow reports
of 2.6.24). However, this alone won't be enough to fix kernel
before 2.6.24 because it is building on top of the commit
1b6d427bb7e ([TCP]: Reduce sacked_out with reno when purging
write_queue) to keep the sacked_out from overflowing.

Fixes a long-standing bug which makes NewReno recovery crippled.
With GSO the whole head skb was marked as LOST which is in
violation of NewReno procedure that only wants to mark one packet
and ended up breaking our TCP code by causing counter overflow
because our code was built on top of assumption about valid
NewReno procedure. This manifested as triggering a WARN_ON for
the overflow in a number of places.
It seems relatively safe alternative to just do nothing if
tcp_fragment fails due to oom because another duplicate ACK is
likely to be received soon and the fragmentation will be retried.
Special thanks goes to Soeren Sonnenburg <kernel@nn7.de> who was
lucky enough to be able to reproduce this so that the warning
for the overflow was hit. It's not as easy task as it seems even
if this bug happens quite often because the amount of outstanding
data is pretty significant for the mismarkings to lead to an
overflow.
Because it's very late in 2.6.25-rc cycle (if this even makes in
time), I didn't want to touch anything with SACK enabled here.
Fragmenting might be useful for it as well but it's more or less
a policy decision rather than mandatory fix. Thus there's no need
to rush and we can postpone considering tcp_fragment with SACK
for 2.6.26.
In 2.6.24 and earlier, this very same bug existed but the effect
is slightly different because of a small changes in the if
conditions that fit to the patch's context. With them nothing
got lost marker and thus no retransmissions happened.

The fast retransmission can be forced locally to the rfc3517
branch in tcp_update_scoreboard instead of making such fragile
constructs deeper in tcp_mark_head_lost.
This is necessary for the next patch which must not have
loopholes for cnt > packets check. As one can notice,
readability got some improvements too because of this :-).
