While the previous change to the selinux Makefile reduced the window
significantly for this failure, it is still possible to see a compile
failure where cpp starts processing selinux files before the auto
generated flask.h file is completed. This is easily reproduced by
adding the following temporary change to expose the issue everytime:
This failure happens because the creation of the object files in the ss
subdir also depends on flask.h. So simply incorporate them into the
parent Makefile, as the ss/Makefile really doesn't do anything unique.
With this change, compiling of all selinux files is dependent on

selinux: fast status update interface (/selinux/status)
This patch provides a new /selinux/status entry which allows applications
read-only mmap(2).
This region reflects selinux_kernel_status structure in kernel space.
struct selinux_kernel_status
{
u32 length; /* length of this structure */
u32 sequence; /* sequence number of seqlock logic */
u32 enforcing; /* current setting of enforcing mode */
u32 policyload; /* times of policy reloaded */
u32 deny_unknown; /* current setting of deny_unknown */
};
When userspace object manager caches access control decisions provided
by SELinux, it needs to invalidate the cache on policy reload and setenforce
to keep consistency.
However, the applications need to check the kernel state for each accesses
on userspace avc, or launch a background worker process.
In heuristic, frequency of invalidation is much less than frequency of
making access control decision, so it is annoying to invoke a system call
to check we don't need to invalidate the userspace cache.
If we can use a background worker thread, it allows to receive invalidation
messages from the kernel. But it requires us an invasive coding toward the
base application in some cases; E.g, when we provide a feature performing
with SELinux as a plugin module, it is unwelcome manner to launch its own
worker thread from the module.
If we could map /selinux/status to process memory space, application can
know updates of selinux status; policy reload or setenforce.
A typical application checks selinux_kernel_status::sequence when it tries
to reference userspace avc. If it was changed from the last time when it
checked userspace avc, it means something was updated in the kernel space.
Then, the application can reset userspace avc or update current enforcing
mode, without any system call invocations.
This sequence number is updated according to the seqlock logic, so we need
to wait for a while if it is odd number.

of the interface change as well:
- ceph_client becomes ceph_fs_client and ceph_client, where the latter
captures the mon and osd clients, and the fs_client gets the mds client
and file system specific pieces.
- Mount option parsing and debugfs setup is correspondingly broken into
two pieces.
- The mon client gets a generic handler callback for otherwise unknown
messages (mds map, in this case).
- The basic supported/required feature bits can be expanded (and are by
ceph_fs_client).

This code change also ensures blocking write calls do get blocked if
there's not enough room in the virtio ring as well as they don't return
-EAGAIN to userspace.

MAINTAINERS: Change list for ioc_serial to linux-serial.
IOC3 is also being used on SGI MIPS systems but this particular driver is
only being used on IA64 systems so linux-mips made no sense as a list. Pat
also thinks linux-serial@vger.kernel.org is the better list.

MIPS: Repair Kbuild make clean breakage.
When running make clean, Kbuild doesn't process the .config file, so nothing
generates a platform-y variable. We can get it to descend into the platform
directories by setting $(obj-).
The dec Platform file was unconditionally setting platform-, obliterating
its previous contents and preventing some directories from being cleaned.
This is change to an append operation '+=' to allow cavium-octeon to be
cleaned.

KVM: Fix fs/gs reload oops with invalid ldt
kvm reloads the host's fs and gs blindly, however the underlying segment
descriptors may be invalid due to the user modifying the ldt after loading
them.
Fix by using the safe accessors (loadsegment() and load_gs_index()) instead
of home grown unsafe versions.
This is CVE-2010-3698.

mxc_nand: do not depend on disabling the irq in the interrupt handler
This patch reverts the driver to enabling/disabling the NFC interrupt
mask rather than enabling/disabling the system interrupt. This cleans
up the driver so that it doesn't rely on interrupts being disabled
within the interrupt handler.
For i.MX21 we keep the current behaviour, that is calling
enable_irq/disable_irq_nosync to enable/disable interrupts. This patch
is based on earlier work by John Ogness.

MIPS: Sanitize restart logics
Put the original syscall number into ->regs[0] when we leave syscall
with error. Use it in restart logics. Everything else will have
it 0 since we pass through SAVE_SOME on all the ways in. Note that
in places like bad_stack and inllegal_syscall we leave it 0 - it's not
restartable.
