A new born thread starts execution not in schedule but rather in
ret_from_fork which results in it bypassing the part of the code to
load a new context written in C which are the DSP context and the
userlocal register which Linux uses for the TLS pointer. Frequently
we were just getting away with this bug for a number of reasons:
o Real world application scenarios are very unlikely to use clone or fork
in blocks of DSP code.
o Linux by default runs the child process right after the fork, so the
child by luck will find all the right context in the DSP and userlocal
registers.
o So far the rdhwr instruction was emulated on all hardware so userlocal
wasn't getting referenced at all and the emulation wasn't suffering
from the issue since it gets it's value straight from the thread's
thread_info.
Fixed by moving the code to load the context from switch_to() to
finish_arch_switch which will be called by newborn and old threads.

The skb_morph function only freed the data part of the dst skb, but leaked
the auxiliary data such as the netfilter fields. This patch fixes this by
moving the relevant parts from __kfree_skb to skb_release_all and calling
it in skb_morph.
It also makes kfree_skbmem static since it's no longer called anywhere else
and it now no longer does skb_release_data.
Thanks to Yasuyuki KOZAKAI for finding this problem and posting a patch for
it.

The inet_ehash_locks_alloc() looks like this:
#ifdef CONFIG_NUMA
if (size > PAGE_SIZE)
x = vmalloc(...);
else
#endif
x = kmalloc(...);
Unlike it, the inet_ehash_locks_alloc() looks like this:
#ifdef CONFIG_NUMA
if (size > PAGE_SIZE)
vfree(x);
else
#else
kfree(x);
#endif
The error is obvious - if the NUMA is on and the size
is less than the PAGE_SIZE we leak the pointer (kfree is
inside the #else branch).
Compiler doesn't warn us because after the kfree(x) there's
a "x = NULL" assignment, so here's another (minor?) bug: we
don't set x to NULL under certain circumstances.

Anomaly 05000312 - Errors When SSYNC, CSYNC, or Loads to LT, LB and LC Registers Are Interrupted:
DESCRIPTION:
When instruction cache is enabled, erroneous behavior may occur when any of the following instructions are interrupted:
. CSYNC
• SSYNC
• LCx =
• LTx = (only when LCx is non-zero)
• LBx = (only when LCx is non-zero)
When this problem occurs, a variety of incorrect things could happen, including an illegal instruction exception. Additional errors could
show up as an exception, a hardware error, or an instruction that is valid but different than the one that was expected.
WORKAROUND:
Place a cli before all SSYNC, CSYNC, "LCx =", "LTx =", and "LBx =" instructions to disable interrupts, and place an sti after each of these
instructions to re-enable interrupts. When these instructions are executed in code that is already non-interruptible, the problem will not
occur.

Current support for TRACE_IRQFLAGS and lockdep_sys_exit is broken.
IRQ flag tracing is broken for program checks. Even worse is that
the newly introduced calls to lockdep_sys_exit are in the critical
section code which is not supposed to call any C functions. In
addition the checks if locks are still held are also done when
returning to kernel code which is broken as well.
Fix all this by disabling interrupts and machine checks at the
exit paths and then do the appropriate checks and calls.

The rtas_os_term() routine was being called at the wrong time.
The actual rtas call "os-term" will not ever return, and so
calling it from the panic notifier is too early. Instead,
call it from the machine_reset() call.
This splits the rtas_os_term() routine into two: one part to capture
the kernel panic message, invoked during the panic notifier, and
another part that is invoked during machine_reset().
Prior to this patch, the os-term call was never being made,
because panic_timeout was always non-zero. Calling os-term
helps keep the hypervisor happy! We have to keep the hypervisor
happy to avoid service, dump and error reporting problems.

Indeed my previous change to alloc_pskb has made it possible
for the TCP header to be misaligned iff the MTU is not a multiple
of 4 (and less than a page). So I suspect the optimised IPsec
MTU calculation is giving you just such an MTU :)
This patch fixes it by changing alloc_pskb to make sure that
the size is at least 32-bit aligned. This does not cause the
problem fixed by the previous patch because max_header is always
32-bit aligned which means that in the SG/NOTSO case this will
be a no-op.
I thought about putting this in the callers but all the current
callers are from TCP. If and when we get a non-TCP caller we
can always create a TCP wrapper for this function and move the
alignment over there.

This new function insl_16 allows to read form 32-bit IO and writes to
16-bit aligned memory. This is useful in above described scenario -
In particular with the AXIS AX88180 Gigabit Ethernet MAC.
Once the device is in 32-bit mode, reads from the RX FIFO always
decrements 4bytes.
While on the other side the destination address in SDRAM is always
16-bit aligned.
If we use skb_reserve(0) the receive buffer is 32-bit aligned but later
we hit a unaligned exception in the IP code.

Attempt to fix http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8378
Hiroto Shibuya wrote to tell me that he has a VIA EPIA-EK10000 which
suffers from the reboot problem when no keyboard is attached. My first
patch works for him:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=59f4e7d572980a521b7bdba74ab71b21f5995538
But the latest patch does not work for him :
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=8b93789808756bcc1e5c90c99f1b1ef52f839a51
We found that it was necessary to also set the "disable keyboard" flag in
the command byte, as the first patch was doing. The second patch tries to
minimally modify the command byte, but it is not enough.
Please consider this simple one-line patch to help people with low end VIA
motherboards reboot when no keyboard is attached. Hiroto Shibuya has
verified that this works for him (as I no longer have an afflicted
machine).
Additional discussion:
Note that original patch from Truxton DOES
disable keyboard and this has been in main tree since 2.6.14, thus it must have
quite a bit of air time already.
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.14.y.git;a=commit;h=59f4e7d572980a521b7bdba74ab71b21f5995538
Note that he only mention "System flag" in the description and comment, but
in the code, "disable keyboard" flag is set.
outb(0x14, 0x60); /* set "System flag" */
In 2.6.23, he made a change to read the current byte and then mask the flags,
but along this change, he only set the "System flag" and dropped the setting
of "disable keyboard" flag.
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.23.y.git;a=commit;h=8b93789808756bcc1e5c90c99f1b1ef52f839a51
outb(cmd | 0x04, 0x60); /* set "System flag" */
So my request is to restore the setting of disable keyboard flag which has been
there since 2.6.14 but disappeared in 2.6.23.
