<title>vfs: add missing virtual cache flush after editing partial pages</title>

Andrew Morton pointed this out a month ago, and then I completely forgot
about it.

If we read a partial last page of a block device, we will zero out the
end of the page, but since that page can then be mapped into user space,
we should also make sure to flush the cache on architectures that have
virtual caches.  We have the flush_dcache_page() function for this, so
use it.

Now, in practice this really never matters, because nobody sane uses
virtual caches to begin with, and they largely exist on old broken RISC
arhitectures.

And even if you did run on one of those obsolete CPU's, the whole "mmap
and access the last partial page of a block device" behavior probably
doesn't actually exist.  The normal IO functions (read/write) will never
see the zeroed-out part of the page that migth not be coherent in the
cache, because they honor the size of the device.

So I'm marking this for stable (3.7 only), but I'm not sure anybody will
ever care.

<title>fs/exec.c: work around icc miscompilation</title>

<id>6d92d4f6a74766cc885b18218268e0c47fbca399</id>
<content type='text'>
The tricky problem is this check:

	if (i++ &gt;= max)

icc (mis)optimizes this check as:

	if (++i &gt; max)

The check now becomes a no-op since max is MAX_ARG_STRINGS (0x7FFFFFFF).

This is "allowed" by the C standard, assuming i++ never overflows,
because signed integer overflow is undefined behavior.  This
optimization effectively reverts the previous commit 362e6663ef23
("exec.c, compat.c: fix count(), compat_count() bounds checking") that
tries to fix the check.

This patch simply moves ++ after the check.

This patch technically breaks userspace, but I suspect that anyone who
actually used this flag would have encountered this brokenness, declared
it lunacy, and already sent a patch.

 2) Netfilter REJECT target doesn't set transport header of SKB
    correctly, from Mukund Jampala.

 3) Forcedeth driver needs to check for DMA mapping failures, from Larry
    Finger.

 4) brcmsmac driver can't use usleep_range while holding locks, use
    udelay instead.  From Niels Ole Salscheider.

 5) Fix unregister of netlink bridge multicast database handlers, from
    Vlad Yasevich and Rami Rosen.

    tcp_push() too many.  From Eric Dumazet and Willy Tarreau.
