Lockdep reports a circular lock dependency between
atomic_read_lock and termios_rwsem [1]. However, a lock
order deadlock is not possible since CPU1 only holds a
read lock which cannot prevent CPU0 from also acquiring
a read lock on the same r/w semaphore.

Unfortunately, lockdep cannot currently distinguish whether
the locks are read or write for any particular lock graph,
merely that the locks _were_ previously read and/or write.

Until lockdep is fixed, re-order atomic_read_lock so
termios_rwsem can be dropped and reacquired without
triggering lockdep.

This patch guards the console_drivers list to be corrupted. The
for_each_console() macro insist on a strictly forward list ended by NULL:

 con0->next->con1->next->NULL

Without this patch it may happen easily to destroy this list for example by
adding 'earlyprintk' twice, especially on embedded devices where the early
console is often a single static instance.  This will result in the following
list:

 con0->next->con0

This in turn will result in an endless loop in console_unlock() later on by
printing the first __log_buf line endlessly.

The MXS_AUART_DMA_CONFIG is originally used to check if the DT node
is configured with the DMA property.

But now, the MXS_AUART_DMA_CONFIG is set unconditionally in the
serial_mxs_probe_dt(), so the check in the mxs_auart_settermios() is
not necessary anymore. This patch removes this macro.

The original DMA support works only when RTS/CTS is enabled.
(see the "e8001632 serial: mxs-auart: add the DMA support for mx28")
But after several patches, DMA support has lost this limit.
(see the "bcc20f9e serial: mxs-auart: move to use generic DMA helper")

So an UART without the RTS/CTS lines may also enables the DMA support,
in which case the UART may gets unpredictable results.

This patch adds an optional property for the UART DT node
which indicates the UART has RTS and CTS lines, and it also means you
enable the DMA support for this UART.

This patch also adds a macro MXS_AUART_RTSCTS, and uses it to check
RTS/CTS before we enable the DMA for the UART.

NetLabel has the ability to selectively assign network security labels
to outbound traffic based on either the LSM's "domain" (different for
each LSM), the network destination, or a combination of both.  Depending
on the type of traffic, local or forwarded, and the type of traffic
selector, domain or address based, different hooks are used to label the
traffic; the goal being minimal overhead.

Unfortunately, there is a bug such that a system using NetLabel domain
based traffic selectors does not correctly label outbound local traffic
that is not assigned to a socket.  The issue is that in these cases
the associated NetLabel hook only looks at the address based selectors
and not the domain based selectors.  This patch corrects this by
checking both the domain and address based selectors so that the correct
labeling is applied, regardless of the configuration type.

In order to acomplish this fix, this patch also simplifies some of the
NetLabel domainhash structures to use a more common outbound traffic
mapping type: struct netlbl_dommap_def.  This simplifies some of the code
in this patch and paves the way for further simplifications in the
future.

It's possible to assign an invalid value to the net.core.somaxconn
sysctl variable, because there is no checks at all.

The sk_max_ack_backlog field of the sock structure is defined as
unsigned short. Therefore, the backlog argument in inet_listen()
shouldn't exceed USHRT_MAX. The backlog argument in the listen() syscall
is truncated to the somaxconn value. So, the somaxconn value shouldn't
exceed 65535 (USHRT_MAX).
Also, negative values of somaxconn are meaningless.

before:
$ sysctl -w net.core.somaxconn=256
net.core.somaxconn = 256
$ sysctl -w net.core.somaxconn=65536
net.core.somaxconn = 65536
$ sysctl -w net.core.somaxconn=-100
net.core.somaxconn = -100

timer routine checks the link status and if it's up calls

even if the auto-negotiation process is not finished.

Also remove ugly auto-negotiation check from the sis900_start_xmit()
