This makes x86_64's ia32 emulation support share the sources used in the
32-bit kernel for the 32-bit vDSO and much of its setup code.
The 32-bit vDSO mapping now behaves the same on x86_64 as on native 32-bit.
The abi.syscall32 sysctl on x86_64 now takes the same values that
vm.vdso_enabled takes on the 32-bit kernel. That is, 1 means a randomized
vDSO location, 2 means the fixed old address. The CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO
option is now available to make this the default setting, the same meaning
it has for the 32-bit kernel. (This does not affect the 64-bit vDSO.)
The argument vdso32=[012] can be used on both 32-bit and 64-bit kernels to
set this paramter at boot time. The vdso=[012] argument still does this
same thing on the 32-bit kernel.

x86: provide a DMI based port 0x80 I/O delay override.
Certain (HP) laptops experience trouble from our port 0x80 I/O delay
writes. This patch provides for a DMI based switch to the "alternate
diagnostic port" 0xed (as used by some BIOSes as well) for these.
David P. Reed confirmed that port 0xed works for him and provides a
proper delay. The symptoms of _not_ working are a hanging machine,
with "hwclock" use being a direct trigger.
Earlier versions of this attempted to simply use udelay(2), with the
2 being a value tested to be a nicely conservative upper-bound with
help from many on the linux-kernel mailinglist but that approach has
two problems.
First, pre-loops_per_jiffy calibration (which is post PIT init while
some implementations of the PIT are actually one of the historically
problematic devices that need the delay) udelay() isn't particularly
well-defined. We could initialise loops_per_jiffy conservatively (and
based on CPU family so as to not unduly delay old machines) which
would sort of work, but...
Second, delaying isn't the only effect that a write to port 0x80 has.
It's also a PCI posting barrier which some devices may be explicitly
or implicitly relying on. Alan Cox did a survey and found evidence
that additionally some drivers may be racy on SMP without the bus
locking outb.
Switching to an inb() makes the timing too unpredictable and as such,
this DMI based switch should be the safest approach for now. Any more
invasive changes should get more rigid testing first. It's moreover
only very few machines with the problem and a DMI based hack seems
to fit that situation.
This also introduces a command-line parameter "io_delay" to override
the DMI based choice again:
io_delay=<standard|alternate>
where "standard" means using the standard port 0x80 and "alternate"
port 0xed.
This retains the udelay method as a config (CONFIG_UDELAY_IO_DELAY) and
command-line ("io_delay=udelay") choice for testing purposes as well.
This does not change the io_delay() in the boot code which is using
the same port 0x80 I/O delay but those do not appear to be a problem
as David P. Reed reported the problem was already gone after using the
udelay version. He moreover reported that booting with "acpi=off" also
fixed things and seeing as how ACPI isn't touched until after this DMI
based I/O port switch I believe it's safe to leave the ones in the boot
code be.
The DMI strings from David's HP Pavilion dv9000z are in there already
and we need to get/verify the DMI info from other machines with the
problem, notably the HP Pavilion dv6000z.
This patch is partly based on earlier patches from Pavel Machek and
David P. Reed.

The journal checksum feature adds two new flags i.e
JBD2_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_ASYNC_COMMIT and JBD2_FEATURE_COMPAT_CHECKSUM.
JBD2_FEATURE_CHECKSUM flag indicates that the commit block contains the
checksum for the blocks described by the descriptor blocks.
Due to checksums, writing of the commit record no longer needs to be
synchronous. Now commit record can be sent to disk without waiting for
descriptor blocks to be written to disk. This behavior is controlled
using JBD2_FEATURE_ASYNC_COMMIT flag. Older kernels/e2fsck should not be
able to recover the journal with _ASYNC_COMMIT hence it is made
incompat.
The commit header has been extended to hold the checksum along with the
type of the checksum.
For recovery in pass scan checksums are verified to ensure the sanity
and completeness(in case of _ASYNC_COMMIT) of every transaction.

This makes the new PID TX rate control algorithm the default instead of the
rc80211_simple rate control algorithm. The simple algorithm was flawed in
several ways: it wasn't responsive at all and didn't age the information it was
relying on properly. The PID algorithm allows us to tune characteristics such
as responsiveness by adjusting parameters and was found to generally behave
better.
The default algorithm can be overridden to select simple instead. Which
ever algorithm is the default is included as part of the mac80211
module automatically. The other algorithm (simple vs. pid) can
be selected for inclusion as well. If EMBEDDED is selected then
the choice is available to have no default specified and neither
algorithm included in mac80211. The default algorithm can be set
through a modparam.
While at it, mark rc80211-simple as deprecated, and schedule it

This patch addresses the following problems:
1. DCCP relies for its proper functioning on having at least one CCID module
enabled (as in TCP plugable congestion control). Currently it is possible to
disable both CCIDs and thus leave the DCCP module in a compiled, but entirely
non-functional state: no sockets can be created when no CCID is available.
Furthermore, the protocol is (again like TCP) not intended to be used without
CCIDs. Last, a non-empty CCID list is needed for doing CCID feature negotiation.
2. Internally the default CCID that is advertised by the Linux host is set to CCID2
(DCCPF_INITIAL_CCID in include/linux/dccp.h). Disabling CCID2 in the Kconfig
menu without changing the defaults leads to a failure `module not found' when
trying to load the dccp module (which internally tries to load the default CCID).
3. The specification (RFC 4340, sec. 10) treats CCID2 somewhat like a
`minimum common denominator'; the specification says that:
* "New connections start with CCID 2 for both endpoints"
* "A DCCP implementation intended for general use, such as an implementation in a
general-purpose operating system kernel, SHOULD implement at least CCID 2.
The intent is to make CCID 2 broadly available for interoperability [...]"
Providing CCID2 as minimum-required CCID (like Reno/Cubic in TCP) thus seems reasonable.
Hence this patch automatically selects CCID2 when DCCP is enabled. Documentation also added.

This extends the DCCP socket API by honouring any shutdown(2) option set by the user.
The behaviour is, as much as possible, made consistent with the API for TCP's shutdown.
This patch exploits the information provided by the user via the socket API to reduce
processing costs:
* if the read end is closed (SHUT_RD), it is not necessary to deliver to input CCID;
* if the write end is closed (SHUT_WR), the same idea applies, but with a difference -
as long as the TX queue has not been drained, we need to receive feedback to keep
congestion-control rates up to date. Hence SHUT_WR is honoured only after the last
packet (under congestion control) has been sent;
* although SHUT_RDWR seems nonsensical, it is nevertheless supported in the same manner
as for TCP (and agrees with test for SHUTDOWN_MASK in dccp_poll() in net/dccp/proto.c).
Furthermore, most of the code already honours the sk_shutdown flags (dccp_recvmsg() for
instance sets the read length to 0 if SHUT_RD had been called); CCID handling is now added
to this by the present patch.
There will also no longer be any delivery when the socket is in the final stages, i.e. when
one of dccp_close(), dccp_fin(), or dccp_done() has been called - which is fine since at
that stage the connection is its final stages.
Motivation and background are on http://www.erg.abdn.ac.uk/users/gerrit/dccp/notes/shutdown
A FIXME has been added to notify the other end if SHUT_RD has been set (RFC 4340, 11.7).
Note: There is a comment in inet_shutdown() in net/ipv4/af_inet.c which asks to "make
sure the socket is a TCP socket". This should probably be extended to mean
`TCP or DCCP socket' (the code is also used by UDP and raw sockets).

- it can cause a data corruption on SMP (or if using PREEMPT on UP)
- all data coming from disk are byte-swapped by taskfile_*_data() which
results in incorrect identify data being reported by /proc/ide/ and IOCTLs
- "hdx=bswap/byteswap" kernel parameter has been broken on m68k host drivers
(including Atari/Q40 ones) since 2.5.x days (because of 'hwif' zero-ing)
