[CRYPTO] scatterwalk: Prepare for block ciphers

This patch prepares the scatterwalk code for use by the new block cipher
type.

Firstly it halves the size of scatter_walk on 32-bit platforms.  This
is important as we allocate at least two of these objects on the stack
for each block cipher operation.

It also exports the symbols since the block cipher code can be built as
a module.

Finally there is a hack in scatterwalk_unmap that relies on progress
being made.  Unfortunately, for hardware crypto we can't guarantee
progress to be made since the hardware can fail.

So this also gets rid of the hack by not advancing the address returned
by scatterwalk_map.

[CRYPTO] api: Added crypto_alloc_base

Up until now all crypto transforms have been of the same type, struct
crypto_tfm, regardless of whether they are ciphers, digests, or other
types.  As a result of that, we check the types at run-time before
each crypto operation.

This is rather cumbersome.  We could instead use different C types for
each crypto type to ensure that the correct types are used at compile
time.  That is, we would have crypto_cipher/crypto_digest instead of
just crypto_tfm.  The appropriate type would then be required for the
actual operations such as crypto_digest_digest.

Now that we have the type/mask fields when looking up algorithms, it
is easy to request for an algorithm of the precise type that the user
wants.  However, crypto_alloc_tfm currently does not expose these new
attributes.

This patch introduces the function crypto_alloc_base which will carry
these new parameters.  It will be renamed to crypto_alloc_tfm once
all existing users have been converted.

as it turns out, the bug is caused by handle_level_irq(), which if it
races with another CPU already handling this IRQ, it _unmasks_ the IRQ
line on the way out. This is not how 2.6.17 works, and we introduced
this bug in one of the early genirq cleanups right before it went into
-mm. (the bug was not in the genirq patchset for a long time, and we
didnt notice the bug due to the lack of -rt rebase to the new genirq
code. -rt, and hardirq-preemption in particular opens up such races much
wider than anything else.)

intentionally taken out of order.  Two things are supposed to prevent
dead-locks from occuring:

1) When we hold the queue_lock we're supposed to only do try_lock on the
tx_lock.

2) We always drop the queue_lock after taking the tx_lock and before doing
anything else.

This path obviously breaks assumption 1) and therefore can lead to ABBA
dead-locks.

I've looked at the history and there seems to be no reason for the lock
to be held at all in dev_watchdog_up.  The lock appeared in day one and
even there it was unnecessary.  In fact, people added __dev_watchdog_up
precisely in order to get around the tx lock there.

The function dev_watchdog_up is already serialised by rtnl_lock since
its only caller dev_activate is always called under it.

So here is a simple patch to remove the tx lock from dev_watchdog_up.
In 2.6.19 we can eliminate the unnecessary __dev_watchdog_up and
replace it with dev_watchdog_up.

[PATCH] bug fix in kernel/kmod.c

I think there is a bug in kmod.c: In __call_usermodehelper(), when
kernel_thread(wait_for_helper, ...) return success, since wait_for_helper()
might call complete() at any time, the sub_info should not be used any
more.

Normally wait_for_helper() take a long time to finish, you may not get
problem for most of the case.  But if you remove /sbin/modprobe, it may
become easier for you to get a oop in khelper.

[PATCH] headers_check: use a different default directory

`make headers_check' wants to go and write stuff in /lib/modules, which
requires root, whic is unfortunate.

In fact, there's no _particular_ reason for headers_install to put it there
either -- it can go into a subdirectory of the build tree in both cases.
It's not intended to go directly into /usr/include, which is why we didn't
put it there -- and we certainly don't want people screwing around with
symlinking to it.  It's for distributors to take away and do stuff with, so
leaving it in $(objtree) is fine, even in the headers_install case.

I picked $(objtree)/usr/include but I have no _particular_ preference
for that; it just seemed reasonable.

Fix two problems with the CONFIG_EMBEDDED submenu:

(1) The menu was split in two by the rt_mutex patch, which moved

[PATCH] Fix 'make headers_check' for Alpha

Alpha currently fails 'make headers_check' in the 2.6.18-rc kernels.  This
patch fixes it, by moving the existing #ifdef __KERNEL__ in asm/page.h so that
it covers everything that userspace shouldn't so, and by adding asm/compiler.h
to the list of exported files so that its use within asm/byteorder.h is
successful.

[ Note that at least with GCC 4, <linux/compiler.h> doesn't do the forced
  inlining about which there are nasty comments (and a workaround) in
  <asm/compiler.h>, unless you set CONFIG_FORCED_INLINING.  Rather than keep
  the mess you have in <asm/compiler.h> you could perhaps just make sure
  CONFIG_FORCED_INLINING=n is also honoured with GCC3, and make sure it cannot
  be set for Alpha? ]

Again, move stuff which shouldn't be visible inside (mostly already existing)
#ifdef __KERNEL__.

This fixes a bunch of mislabelled and unlabelled #endifs in unistd.h and also
cleans that up to conform with what's visible on other architectures, since
the minimal fix for the error reported about would have involved a more
intrusive patch, renesting other ifdefs.
