Right now, various kernel modules are being migrated over to use
request_firmware in order to pull in binary firmware blobs from userland
when the module is loaded. This makes sense.

However, there is right now little mechanism in place to automatically
determine which binary firmware blobs must be included with a kernel in
order to satisfy the prerequisites of these drivers. This affects
vendors, but also regular users to a certain extent too.

The attached patch introduces MODULE_FIRMWARE as a mechanism for
advertising that a particular firmware file is to be loaded - it will
then show up via modinfo and could be used e.g. when packaging a kernel.

Unlike the other tty comment patch this one has code changes.  Specifically
it limits the queue size for a tty to 64K characters (128Kbytes) worst case
even if the tty is ignoring tty->throttle.  This is because certain drivers
don't honour the throttle value correctly, although it is a useful
safeguard anyway.

JBD currently allocates commit and frozen buffers from slabs.  With
CONFIG_SLAB_DEBUG, its possible for an allocation to cross the page
boundary causing IO problems.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=200127

So, instead of allocating these from regular slabs - manage allocation from
its own slabs and disable slab debug for these slabs.

When reading /dev/vcsa while a font with more than 256 characters is
loaded, one of the attribute bits records the 9th bit of the character.
But depending on the console driver (vgacon or fbcon for instance), that's
bit 3 or bit 0.  And there is no way for userland to know that, thus no way
for userland to safely grab the screen content.  So here is a (tested)
patch:

Add a VT_GETHIFONTMASK ioctl for knowing which bit is the 9th bit for VC
text (vc_hi_font_mask field of the vc_data structure).

The IPv4/IPv6 datagram output path was using skb_trim to trim paged
packets because they know that the packet has not been cloned yet
(since the packet hasn't been given to anything else in the system).

This broke because skb_trim no longer allows paged packets to be
trimmed.  Paged packets must be given to one of the pskb_trim functions
instead.

This patch adds a new pskb_trim_unique function to cover the IPv4/IPv6
datagram output path scenario and replaces the corresponding skb_trim
calls with it.

It should be possible to suspend, either to RAM or to disk, if there's a
traced process that has just reached a breakpoint.  However, this is a
special case, because its parent process might have been frozen already and
then we are unable to deliver the "freeze" signal to the traced process.
If this happens, it's better to cancel the freezing of the traced process.

This patch adds a new unusual_devs flag for when usb-storage needs to ignore
a device that it would otherwise claim.

We need to ignore the ZyXEL G220F as it is a virtual CDROM drive which
includes the windows driver for this USB-WLAN adapter. After the windows
driver is installed on a windows system, it converts it into a WLAN adapter
(by ejecting the virtual disc).

The virtual CDROM is of no interest to Linux users. The zd1211rw driver will
automatically perform the eject operation, we just need to ensure that
usb-storage does not claim the device.

This patch implements a cleaner fix for the memory leak problem of the
original unix datagram getpeersec patch.  Instead of creating a
security context each time a unix datagram is sent, we only create the
security context when the receiver requests it.

This new design requires modification of the current
unix_getsecpeer_dgram LSM hook and addition of two new hooks, namely,
secid_to_secctx and release_secctx.  The former retrieves the security
context and the latter releases it.  A hook is required for releasing
the security context because it is up to the security module to decide
how that's done.  In the case of Selinux, it's a simple kfree
operation.
