commit ee9159ddce14bc1dec9435ae4e3bd3153e783706 upstream.

The N_X25 line discipline may access the previous line discipline's closed
and already-freed private data on open [1].

The tty-&gt;disc_data field _never_ refers to valid data on entry to the
line discipline's open() method. Rather, the ldisc is expected to
initialize that field for its own use for the lifetime of the instance
(ie. from open() to close() only).

Commit d43c36dc6b357fa1806800f18aa30123c747a6d1 ("headers: remove
sched.h from interrupt.h") left some build errors in some configurations
due to drivers having depended on getting header files "accidentally".

Cisco HDLC uses keepalive packets and sequence numbers to determine link
state. In rare cases both ends could transmit keepalive packets at the same
time, causing the received sequence numbers to be treated as incorrect.
Now we accept our current sequence number as well as the previous one.

After m68k's task_thread_info() doesn't refer to current,
it's possible to remove sched.h from interrupt.h and not break m68k!

<title>IXP42x HSS support for setting internal clock rate</title>

<id>urn:sha1:5dbc46506a4f7b9f564bb7589a49ed32bc1caa15</id>

HSS usually uses external clocks, so it's not a big deal. Internal clock
is used for direct DTE-DTE connections and when the DCE doesn't provide
it's own clock.

This also depends on the oscillator frequency. Intel seems to have
calculated the clock register settings for 33.33 MHz (66.66 MHz timer
base). Their settings seem quite suboptimal both in terms of average
frequency (60 ppm is unacceptable for G.703 applications, their primary
intended usage(?)) and jitter.

Many (most?) platforms use a 33.333 MHz oscillator, a 10 ppm difference
from Intel's base.

Instead of creating static tables, I've created a procedure to program
the HSS clock register. The register consists of 3 parts (A, B, C).
The average frequency (= bit rate) is:
66.66x MHz / (A  + (B + 1) / (C + 1))
The procedure aims at the closest average frequency, possibly at the
cost of increased jitter. Nobody would be able to directly drive an
unbufferred transmitter with a HSS anyway, and the frequency error is
what it really counts.

I've verified the above with an oscilloscope on IXP425. It seems IXP46x
and possibly IXP43x use a bit different clock generation algorithm - it
looks like the avg frequency is:
(on IXP465) 66.66x MHz / (A  + B / (C + 1)).
Also they use much greater precomputed A and B - on IXP425 it would
simply result in more jitter, but I don't know how does it work on
IXP46x (perhaps 3 least significant bits aren't used?).

Anyway it looks that they were aiming for exactly +60 ppm or -60 ppm,
while &lt;1 ppm is typically possible (with a synchronized clock, of
course).

The attached patch makes it possible to set almost any bit rate
(my IXP425 533 MHz quits at &gt; 22 Mb/s if a single port is used, and the
minimum is ca. 65 Kb/s).

This is independent of MVIP (multi-E1/T1 on one HSS) mode.
