idr_find(), idr_remove() and idr_replace() used to silently ignore the
sign bit and perform lookup with the rest of the bits.  The weird behavior
has been changed such that negative IDs are treated as invalid.  As the
behavior change was subtle, WARN_ON_ONCE() was added in the hope of
determining who's calling idr functions with negative IDs so that they can
be examined for problems.

Up until now, all two reported cases are ID number coming directly from
userland and getting fed into idr_find() and the warnings seem to cause
more problems than being helpful.  Drop the WARN_ON_ONCE()s.

   - Remove kdb ll command - Always caused a kernel oops and there were
     no bug reports so no one was using this command

   - Use kernel ARRAY_SIZE macro instead of array computations

  Fixes:

Pull new ARC architecture from Vineet Gupta:
 "Initial ARC Linux port with some fixes on top for 3.9-rc1:

  I would like to introduce the Linux port to ARC Processors (from
  Synopsys) for 3.9-rc1.  The patch-set has been discussed on the public
  lists since Nov and has received a fair bit of review, specially from
  Arnd, tglx, Al and other subsystem maintainers for DeviceTree, kgdb...

  The arch bits are in arch/arc, some asm-generic changes (acked by
  Arnd), a minor change to PARISC (acked by Helge).

  The series is a touch bigger for a new port for 2 main reasons:

   1. It enables a basic kernel in first sub-series and adds
      ptrace/kgdb/.. later

   2. Some of the fallout of review (DeviceTree support, multi-platform-
      image support) were added on top of orig series, primarily to
      record the revision history.

  This updated pull request additionally contains

   - fixes due to our GNU tools catching up with the new syscall/ptrace
     ABI

   - some (minor) cross-arch Kconfig updates."

Added missing Kconfig option KDB_CONTINUE_CATASTROPHIC which lead to a dead
ifdef block in kernel/debug/kdb/kdb_main.c:73-75.

The code using KDB_CONTINUE_CATASTROPHIC was originally introduced in
commit '5d5314d6795f3c1c0f415348ff8c51f7de042b77' by Jason Wessel.
This patchset ("kdb: core for kgdb back end (1 of 2)")
added platform independent part of kdb to the linux kernel.

The Kernel option however, even though it had the same options and
behaviour on all supported architectures, was part of the x86 and
ia64 patchset of KDB and therefore not pulled into the mainline kernel tree.

I actually took the originally written Kconfig by
Keith Owens &lt;kaos@sgi.com&gt; (2003-06-20 according to KDB changelog)
and changed it to reflect the correct behaviour,
as the KDUMP patchset is not part of the kernel and the expected
functionality is missing from it.

 "Summary:

  Update the Linux kernel LZO compression and decompression code to the
  current upstream version which features significant performance
  improvements on modern machines.

  Some *synthetic* benchmarks:
  ============================

    x86_64 (Sandy Bridge), gcc-4.6 -O3, Silesia test corpus, 256 kB block-size:

                     compression speed   decompression speed

    LZO-2005    :         150 MB/sec          468 MB/sec
    LZO-2012    :         434 MB/sec         1210 MB/sec

    i386 (Sandy Bridge), gcc-4.6 -O3, Silesia test corpus, 256 kB block-size:

                     compression speed   decompression speed

    LZO-2005    :         143 MB/sec          409 MB/sec
    LZO-2012    :         372 MB/sec         1121 MB/sec

    armv7 (Cortex-A9), Linaro gcc-4.6 -O3, Silesia test corpus, 256 kB block-size:

                     compression speed   decompression speed

    LZO-2005    :          27 MB/sec           84 MB/sec
    LZO-2012    :          44 MB/sec          117 MB/sec
  **LZO-2013-UA :          47 MB/sec          167 MB/sec

                     the LZO 2.02 release from 2005)

 "Summary:
  ========

  Update the Linux kernel LZO compression and decompression code to the
  current upstream version which features significant performance
  improvements on modern machines.

  Some *synthetic* benchmarks:
  ============================

    x86_64 (Sandy Bridge), gcc-4.6 -O3, Silesia test corpus, 256 kB block-size:

                     compression speed   decompression speed

    LZO-2005    :         150 MB/sec          468 MB/sec
    LZO-2012    :         434 MB/sec         1210 MB/sec

    i386 (Sandy Bridge), gcc-4.6 -O3, Silesia test corpus, 256 kB block-size:

                     compression speed   decompression speed

    LZO-2005    :         143 MB/sec          409 MB/sec
    LZO-2012    :         372 MB/sec         1121 MB/sec

    armv7 (Cortex-A9), Linaro gcc-4.6 -O3, Silesia test corpus, 256 kB block-size:

                     compression speed   decompression speed

    LZO-2005    :          27 MB/sec           84 MB/sec
    LZO-2012    :          44 MB/sec          117 MB/sec
  **LZO-2013-UA :          47 MB/sec          167 MB/sec

  Legend:

    LZO-2005    : LZO version in current 3.8 kernel (which is based on
                     the LZO 2.02 release from 2005)
    LZO-2012    : updated LZO version available in linux-next
  **LZO-2013-UA : updated LZO version available in linux-next plus experimental
                     ARM Unaligned Access patch. This needs approval
                     from some ARM maintainer ist NOT YET INCLUDED."

Andrew Morton &lt;akpm@linux-foundation.org&gt; acks it and says:
 "There's a new LZ4 on the block which is even faster than the sped-up
  LZO, but various filesystems and things use LZO"

<title>hlist: drop the node parameter from iterators</title>

I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived

        list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member)

The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter:

        hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member)

Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only
they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking
exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate.

Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required:

 - Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h
 - Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones.
 - A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this
 was modified to use 'obj-&gt;member' instead.
 - Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator
 properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.

The semantic patch which is mostly the work of Peter Senna Tschudin is here:

Fix kfifo_alloc() and kfifo_init() to alloc at least the requested number
of elements.  Since the kfifo operates on power of 2 the request size will
be rounded up to the next power of two.
