[ Upstream commit e2446eaab5 ]
Binding RST packet outgoing interface to incoming interface
for tcp v4 when there is no socket associate with it.
when sk is not NULL, using sk->sk_bound_dev_if instead.
(suggested by Eric Dumazet).
This has few benefits:
1. tcp_v6_send_reset already did that.
2. This helps tcp connect with SO_BINDTODEVICE set. When
connection is lost, we still able to sending out RST using
same interface.
3. we are sending reply, it is most likely to be succeed
if iif is used

[ Upstream commit e6b45241c5 ]
Eric Dumazet found that commit 813b3b5db8
(ipv4: Use caller's on-stack flowi as-is in output
route lookups.) that comes in 3.0 added a regression.
The problem appears to be that resulting flowi4_oif is
used incorrectly as input parameter to some routing lookups.
The result is that when connecting to local port without
listener if the IP address that is used is not on a loopback
interface we incorrectly assign RTN_UNICAST to the output
route because no route is matched by oif=lo. The RST packet
can not be sent immediately by tcp_v4_send_reset because
it expects RTN_LOCAL.
So, change ip_route_connect and ip_route_newports to
update the flowi4 fields that are input parameters because
we do not want unnecessary binding to oif.
To make it clear what are the input parameters that
can be modified during lookup and to show which fields of
floiw4 are reused add a new function to update the flowi4
structure: flowi4_update_output.
Thanks to Yurij M. Plotnikov for providing a bug report including a
program to reproduce the problem.
Thanks to Eric Dumazet for tracking the problem down to
tcp_v4_send_reset and providing initial fix.

taking into account hard_header_len.

commit 8e43a905dd upstream.
Bootup with lockdep enabled has been broken on v7 since b46c0f7465
("ARM: 7321/1: cache-v7: Disable preemption when reading CCSIDR").
This is because v7_setup (which is called very early during boot) calls
v7_flush_dcache_all, and the save_and_disable_irqs added by that patch
ends up attempting to call into lockdep C code (trace_hardirqs_off())
when we are in no position to execute it (no stack, MMU off).
Fix this by using a notrace variant of save_and_disable_irqs. The code
already uses the notrace variant of restore_irqs.

commit b46c0f7465 upstream.
armv7's flush_cache_all() flushes caches via set/way. To
determine the cache attributes (line size, number of sets,
etc.) the assembly first writes the CSSELR register to select a
cache level and then reads the CCSIDR register. The CSSELR register
is banked per-cpu and is used to determine which cache level CCSIDR
reads. If the task is migrated between when the CSSELR is written and
the CCSIDR is read the CCSIDR value may be for an unexpected cache
level (for example L1 instead of L2) and incorrect cache flushing
could occur.
Disable interrupts across the write and read so that the correct
cache attributes are read and used for the cache flushing
routine. We disable interrupts instead of disabling preemption
because the critical section is only 3 instructions and we want
to call v7_dcache_flush_all from __v7_setup which doesn't have a
full kernel stack with a struct thread_info.
This fixes a problem we see in scm_call() when flush_cache_all()
is called from preemptible context and sometimes the L2 cache is
not properly flushed out.

[Note that since the patch isn't applicable (and unnecessary) to
3.3-rc, there is no corresponding upstream fix.]
The cx5051 parser calls snd_hda_input_jack_add() in the init callback
to create and initialize the jack detection instances. Since the init
callback is called at each time when the device gets woken up after
suspend or power-saving mode, the duplicated instances are accumulated
at each call. This ends up with the kernel warnings with the too
large array size.
The fix is simply to move the calls of snd_hda_input_jack_add() into
the parser section instead of the init callback.
The fix is needed only up to 3.2 kernel, since the HD-audio jack layer
was redesigned in the 3.3 kernel.

Unfortunately in reducing W from 80 to 16 we ended up unrolling

This patch solves the W reduction by moving LOAD_OP/BLEND_OP
into the loop itself, thus avoiding the need to duplicate it.
While the stack space still isn't great (>0.5K) it is at least
in the same ball park as the amount of stack used for our C sha1
implementation.
