The patch below moves the cpu hotplugging higher up in the cpufreq
layering; this is needed to avoid recursive taking of the cpu hotplug
lock and to otherwise detangle the mess.
The new rules are:
1. you must do lock_cpu_hotplug() around the following functions:
__cpufreq_driver_target
__cpufreq_governor (for CPUFREQ_GOV_LIMITS operation only)
__cpufreq_set_policy
2. governer methods (.governer) must NOT take the lock_cpu_hotplug()
lock in any way; they are called with the lock taken already
3. if your governer spawns a thread that does things, like calling
__cpufreq_driver_target, your thread must honor rule #1.
4. the policy lock and other cpufreq internal locks nest within
the lock_cpu_hotplug() lock.
I'm not entirely happy about how the __cpufreq_governor rule ended up
(conditional locking rule depending on the argument) but basically all
callers pass this as a constant so it's not too horrible.
The patch also removes the cpufreq_governor() function since during the
locking audit it turned out to be entirely unused (so no need to fix it)
The patch works on my testbox, but it could use more testing
(otoh... it can't be much worse than the current code)

In PSCHED_TADD and PSCHED_TADD2, if delta is less than tv.tv_usec (so,
less than USEC_PER_SEC too) then tv_res will be smaller than tv. The
affectation "(tv_res).tv_usec = __delta;" is wrong. The fix is to
revert to the original code before
4ee303dfeac6451b402e3d8512723d3a0f861857 and change the 'if' in
'while'.

The CPU hotplug locking was quite messy, with a recursive lock to
handle the fact that both the actual up/down sequence wanted to
protect itself from being re-entered, but the callbacks that it
called also tended to want to protect themselves from CPU events.
This splits the lock into two (one to serialize the whole hotplug
sequence, the other to protect against the CPU present bitmaps
changing). The latter still allows recursive usage because some
subsystems (ondemand policy for cpufreq at least) had already gotten
too used to the lax locking, but the locking mistakes are hopefully
now less fundamental, and we now warn about recursive lock usage
when we see it, in the hope that it can be fixed.

Sabre and Psycho PCI controllers can have partial interrupt-map
properties, meaning that on-board devices don't match up to any
entries. Instead, they are fully specified from the beginning and
we should pass them directly to the IRQ translator as-is.
Also, fill in the necessary translator slots for the "graphics"
and "expansion UPA" interrupts on Sabre, Psycho, and SYSIO SBUS.
Increase PROMREG_MAX to 24, as seen on SUNW,ffb devices.
Finally, prevent accidentally writing past the end of the of_device
struct resource[] and irqs[] arrays. Spit out a log message when
we ignore some entries because there are too many of them.

set_wmb should not be used in the kernel because it just confuses the
code more and has no benefit. Since it is not currently used in the
kernel this patch removes it so that new code does not include it.
All archs define set_wmb(var, value) to do { var = value; wmb(); }
while(0) except ia64 and sparc which use a mb() instead. But this is
still moot since it is not used anyway.

through cpumasks
On systems with a large number of cpus, with even a modest rate of tasks
exiting per cpu, the volume of taskstats data sent on thread exit can
overflow a userspace listener's buffers.
One approach to avoiding overflow is to allow listeners to get data for a
limited and specific set of cpus. By scaling the number of listeners
and/or the cpus they monitor, userspace can handle the statistical data
overload more gracefully.
In this patch, each listener registers to listen to a specific set of cpus
by specifying a cpumask. The interest is recorded per-cpu. When a task
exits on a cpu, its taskstats data is unicast to each listener interested
in that cpu.
Thanks to Andrew Morton for pointing out the various scalability and
general concerns of previous attempts and for suggesting this design.

Don't send taskstats (per-pid or per-tgid) on thread exit when no one is
listening for such data.
Currently the taskstats interface allocates a structure, fills it in and
calls netlink to send out per-pid and per-tgid stats regardless of whether
a userspace listener for the data exists (netlink layer would check for
that and avoid the multicast).
As a result of this patch, the check for the no-listener case is performed
early, avoiding the redundant allocation and filling up of the taskstats
structures.

Send per-tgid data only once during exit of a thread group instead of once
with each member thread exit.
Currently, when a thread exits, besides its per-tid data, the per-tgid data
of its thread group is also sent out, if its thread group is non-empty.
The per-tgid data sent consists of the sum of per-tid stats for all
*remaining* threads of the thread group.
This patch modifies this sending in two ways:
- the per-tgid data is sent only when the last thread of a thread group
exits. This cuts down heavily on the overhead of sending/receiving
per-tgid data, especially when other exploiters of the taskstats
interface aren't interested in per-tgid stats
- the semantics of the per-tgid data sent are changed. Instead of being
the sum of per-tid data for remaining threads, the value now sent is the
true total accumalated statistics for all threads that are/were part of
the thread group.
The patch also addresses a minor issue where failure of one accounting
subsystem to fill in the taskstats structure was causing the send of
taskstats to not be sent at all.
The patch has been tested for stability and run cerberus for over 4 hours
on an SMP.

Create a "taskstats" interface based on generic netlink (NETLINK_GENERIC
family), for getting statistics of tasks and thread groups during their
lifetime and when they exit. The interface is intended for use by multiple
accounting packages though it is being created in the context of delay
accounting.
This patch creates the interface without populating the fields of the data
that is sent to the user in response to a command or upon the exit of a task.
Each accounting package interested in using taskstats has to provide an
additional patch to add its stats to the common structure.

Unlike earlier iterations of the delay accounting patches, now delays are only
collected for the actual I/O waits rather than try and cover the delays seen
in I/O submission paths.
Account separately for block I/O delays incurred as a result of swapin page
faults whose frequency can be affected by the task/process' rss limit. Hence
swapin delays can act as feedback for rss limit changes independent of I/O
priority changes.

Got a customer bug report (https://bugzilla.novell.com/190296) about kernel
symbols longer than 127 characters which end up in a string buffer that is
not NULL terminated, leading to garbage in /proc/kallsyms. Using strlcpy
prevents this from happening, even though such symbols still won't come out
right.
A better fix would be to not use a fixed-size buffer, but it's probably not
worth the trouble. (Modversion'ed symbols even have a length limit of 60.)

Also, don't need to drag in proc_fs.h, the only reference to proc_dir_entry

As a result of 894673ee6122a3ce1958e1fe096901ba5356a96b, the ARM
architecture is more or less unbuildable - only one defconfig appears
to build, with all others erroring out with:
CC arch/arm/kernel/setup.o
In file included from /home/rmk/git/linux-2.6-rmk/arch/arm/kernel/setup.c:22:
/home/rmk/git/linux-2.6-rmk/include/linux/root_dev.h:7: warning: implicit declaration of function `MKDEV'
...
Essentially, root_dev.h uses MKDEV and dev_t, but does not include any
headers which provide either of these definitions. The reason it worked
previously is that linux/tty.h just happened to include the required
headers for linux/root_dev.h.

When changing power states from D0->DX and then from DX->D0, some
Intel PCIE chipsets will cause a device reset to occur. This will
cause problems for any D State other than D3, since any state
information that the driver will expect to be present coming from
a D1 or D2 state will have been cleared. This patch addes a
flag to the pci_dev structure to indicate that devices should
not use states D1 or D2, and will set that flag for the affected
chipsets. This patch also modifies pci_set_power_state() so that
when a device driver tries to set the power state on
a device that is downstream from an affected chipset, or on one
of the affected devices it only allows state changes to or
from D0 & D3. In addition, this patch allows the delay time
between D3->D0 to be changed via a quirk. These chipsets also
need additional time to change states beyond the normal 10ms.

Recent section changes broke gadget builds on some platforms. This patch
is the best fix that's available until better section markings exist:
- There's a lot of cleanup code that gets used in both init and exit paths;
stop marking it as "__exit".
(Best fix for this would be an "__init_or_exit" section marking, putting
the cleanup in __init when __exit sections get discarded else in __exit.)
- Stop marking the use-once probe routines as "__init" since references
to those routines are not allowed from driver structures. They're now
marked "__devinit", which in practice is a net lose.
(Best fix for this is likely to separate such use-once probe routines
from the driver structure ... but in general, all busses that aren't
hotpluggable will be forced to waste memory for all probe-only code.)
In general these broken section rules waste an average of two to four kBytes
per driver of code bloat ... because none of the relevant code can ever be
reused after module initialization.

1. Multipath devices for which SetPGID is not supported are not handled well.
Use NOP ccws for path verification (sans path grouping) when SetPGID is not
supported.
2. Check for PGIDs already set with SensePGID on _all_ paths (not just the
first one) and try to find a common one. Moan if no common PGID can be
found (and use NOP verification). If no PGIDs have been set, use the css
global PGID (as before). (Rationale: SetPGID will get a command reject if
the PGID it tries to set does not match the already set PGID.)
3. Immediately before reboot, issue RESET CHANNEL PATH (rcp) on all chpids. This
will remove the old PGIDs. rcp will generate solicited CRWs which can be
savely ignored by the machine check handler (all other actions create
unsolicited CRWs).

Also, for the CLCD, despite how the code looks, both the AB

it's just called something different between the two board

Newer ARMs have a 40 bit physical address space, but mapping physical
memory above 4G needs a special page table format which we (currently?) do
not use for userspace mappings, so what happens instead is that mapping an
address >= 4G will happily discard the upper bits and wrap.
There is a valid_mmap_phys_addr_range() arch hook where we could check for
>= 4G addresses and deny the mapping, but this hook takes an unsigned long
address:
static inline int valid_mmap_phys_addr_range(unsigned long addr, size_t size);
And drivers/char/mem.c:mmap_mem() calls it like this:
static int mmap_mem(struct file * file, struct vm_area_struct * vma)
{
size_t size = vma->vm_end - vma->vm_start;
if (!valid_mmap_phys_addr_range(vma->vm_pgoff << PAGE_SHIFT, size))
So that's not much help either.
This patch makes the hook take a pfn instead of a phys address.

causes the linker to emit errors as the offset is too big to fit into the

This patch slightly reworks the new irq code to fix a small design error. I
removed the passing of the trigger to the map() calls entirely, it was not a
good idea to have one call do two different things. It also fixes a couple of
corner cases.
Mapping a linux virtual irq to a physical irq now does only that. Setting the
trigger is a different action which has a different call.
The main changes are:
- I no longer call host->ops->map() for an already mapped irq, I just return
the virtual number that was already mapped. It was called before to give an
opportunity to change the trigger, but that was causing issues as that could
happen while the interrupt was in use by a device, and because of the
trigger change, map would potentially muck around with things in a racy way.
That was causing much burden on a given's controller implementation of
map() to get it right. This is much simpler now. map() is only called on
the initial mapping of an irq, meaning that you know that this irq is _not_
being used. You can initialize the hardware if you want (though you don't
have to).
- Controllers that can handle different type of triggers (level/edge/etc...)
now implement the standard irq_chip->set_type() call as defined by the
generic code. That means that you can use the standard set_irq_type() to
configure an irq line manually if you wish or (though I don't like that
interface), pass explicit trigger flags to request_irq() as defined by the
generic kernel interfaces. Also, using those interfaces guarantees that
your controller set_type callback is called with the descriptor lock held,
thus providing locking against activity on the same interrupt (including
mask/unmask/etc...) automatically. A result is that, for example, MPIC's
own map() implementation calls irq_set_type(NONE) to configure the hardware
to the default triggers.
- To allow the above, the irq_map array entry for the new mapped interrupt
is now set before map() callback is called for the controller.
- The irq_create_of_mapping() (also used by irq_of_parse_and_map()) function
for mapping interrupts from the device-tree now also call the separate
set_irq_type(), and only does so if there is a change in the trigger type.
- While I was at it, I changed pci_read_irq_line() (which is the helper I
would expect most archs to use in their pcibios_fixup() to get the PCI
interrupt routing from the device tree) to also handle a fallback when the
DT mapping fails consisting of reading the PCI_INTERRUPT_PIN to know wether
the device has an interrupt at all, and the the PCI_INTERRUPT_LINE to get an
interrupt number from the device. That number is then mapped using the
default controller, and the trigger is set to level low. That default
behaviour works for several platforms that don't have a proper interrupt
tree like Pegasos. If it doesn't work for your platform, then either
provide a proper interrupt tree from the firmware so that fallback isn't
needed, or don't call pci_read_irq_line()
- Add back a bit that got dropped by my main rework patch for properly
clearing pending IPIs on pSeries when using a kexec

In that case we are missing one definition __inc_zone_state.

We introduced 'io_sectors' recently so we could count the sectors that causes
io during resync separate from sectors which didn't cause IO - there can be a
difference if a bitmap is being used to accelerate resync.
However when a speed is reported, we find the number of sectors processed
recently by subtracting an oldish io_sectors count from a current
'curr_resync' count. This is wrong because curr_resync counts all sectors,
not just io sectors.
So, add a field to mddev to store the curren io_sectors separately from
curr_resync, and use that in the calculations.

The following patch gets rid of CONFIG_TSI108_BRIDGE. I add UPIO_TSI to
handle IIR and IER register in serial_in and serial_out.
(1) the reason to rewrite serial_in:
TSI108 rev Z1 version ERRATA. Reading the UART's Interrupt
Identification Register (IIR) clears the Transmit Holding Register
Empty (THRE) and Transmit buffer Empty (TEMP) interrupts even if they
are not enabled in the Interrupt Enable Register (IER). This leads to
loss of the interrupts. Interrupts are not cleared when reading UART
registers as 32-bit word.
(2) the reason to rewrite serial_out:
Check for UART_IER_UUE bit in the autoconfig routine. This section
of autoconfig is excluded for Tsi108/109 because bits 7 and 6 are
reserved for internal use. They are R/W bits. In addition to
incorrect identification, changing these bits (from 00) will make
Tsi108/109 UART non-functional.

Added the ACPI_PACKED_POINTERS_NOT_SUPPORTED macro to
support C compilers that do not allow the initialization
of address pointers within packed structures - even though
the hardware itself may support misaligned transfers. Some
of the debug data structures are packed by default to
minimize size.
Added an error message for the case where
acpi_os_get_thread_id() returns zero. A non-zero value is
required by the core ACPICA code to ensure the proper
operation of AML mutexes and recursive control methods.
The DSDT is now the only ACPI table that determines whether
the AML interpreter is in 32-bit or 64-bit mode. Not really
a functional change, but the hooks for per-table 32/64
switching have been removed from the code. A clarification
to the ACPI specification is forthcoming in ACPI 3.0B.

path of tbinstal.c acpi_tb_init_table_descriptor() and

Currently struct scsi_cmnd has various fields that are used to backup
original data after the corresponding fields have been overridden for
EH commands. This means drivers can easily get at it and misuse it.
Due to the old_ naming this doesn't happen for most of them, but two
that have different names have been used wrong a lot (see previous
patch). Another downside is that they unessecarily bloat the scsi_cmnd
size.
This patch moves them onstack in scsi_send_eh_cmnd to fix those two
issues aswell as allowing future EH fixes like moving the EH command
submissions to use SG lists like everything else.

Some SAS HBAs don't want to go to the trouble of tracking port numbers,
so they'd simply like to say "add this port and give it a number".
This is especially beneficial from the hotplug point of view, since
tracking ports and the available number space can be a real pain.
The current implementation uses an incrementing number per expander to
add the port on. However, since there can never be more ports than
there are phys, a later implementation will try to be more intelligent
about this.

This also fixes some inlines that incorrectly didn't tell the compiler
that they read the old value at all, potentially causing the compiler to

hidden by the use of extra "volatile" specifiers on the data structures

Reimplement controller-wide PM. ata_host_set_suspend/resume() are
defined to suspend and resume a host_set. While suspended, EHs for
all ports in the host_set are pegged using ATA_FLAG_SUSPENDED and
frozen.
Because SCSI device hotplug is done asynchronously against the rest of
libata EH and the same mutex is used when adding new device, suspend
cannot wait for hotplug to complete. So, if SCSI device hotplug is in
progress, suspend fails with -EBUSY.
In most cases, host_set resume is followed by device resume. As each
resume operation requires a reset, a single host_set-wide resume
operation may result in multiple resets. To avoid this, resume waits
upto 1 second giving PM to request resume for devices.

Reimplement per-dev PM. The original implementation directly put the
device into suspended mode and didn't synchronize w/ EH operations
including hotplug. This patch reimplements ata_scsi_device_suspend()
and ata_scsi_device_resume() such that they request EH to perform the
respective operations. Both functions synchronize with hotplug such
that it doesn't operate on detached devices.
Suspend waits for completion but resume just issues request and
returns. This allows parallel wake up of devices and thus speeds up
system resume.
Due to sdev detach synchronization, it's not feasible to separate out
EH requesting from sdev handling; thus, ata_device_suspend/resume()
are removed and everything is implemented in the respective
libata-scsi functions.

Implement two PM per-dev EH actions - ATA_EH_SUSPEND and
ATA_EH_RESUME. Each action puts the target device into suspended mode
and resumes from it respectively.
Once a device is put to suspended mode, no EH operations other than
RESUME is allowed on the device. The device will stay suspended till
it gets resumed and thus reset and revalidated. To implement this, a
new device state helper - ata_dev_ready() - is implemented and used in
EH action implementations to make them operate only on attached &
running devices.
If all possible devices on a port are suspended, reset is skipped too.
This prevents spurious events including hotplug events from disrupting
suspended devices.

causing multiple requests on the same network because the network BSSID

Patch from Andrew Victor
The AIC interrupt controller is the same on the Atmel AT91RM9200,
AT91SAM9261 and AT91SAM9260 processors.
This patch removes any RM9200-specific naming from the IRQ driver, and
moves the AT91RM9200's default IRQ priority table into at91rm9200.c.

- migration_req_t to 'struct migration_req'
I was the one who added these but they are both against the kernel coding
style and also were used inconsistently at places. So just get rid of them at
once, now that we are flushing the scheduler patch-queue anyway.
Conversion was mostly scripted, the result was reviewed and all secondary

Teach sk_lock semantics to the lock validator. In the softirq path the
slock has mutex_trylock()+mutex_unlock() semantics, in the process context
sock_lock() case it has mutex_lock()/mutex_unlock() semantics.
Thus we treat sock_owned_by_user() flagged areas as an exclusion area too,
not just those areas covered by a held sk_lock.slock.
Effect on non-lockdep kernels: minimal, sk_lock_sock_init() has been turned
into an inline function.

Teach special (recursive) locking code to the lock validator.
Effects on non-lockdep kernels:
- the introduction of the following function variants:
extern struct block_device *open_partition_by_devnum(dev_t, unsigned);
extern int blkdev_put_partition(struct block_device *);
static int
blkdev_get_whole(struct block_device *bdev, mode_t mode, unsigned flags);
which on non-lockdep are the same as open_by_devnum(), blkdev_put()
and blkdev_get().
- a subclass parameter to do_open(). [unused on non-lockdep]
- a subclass parameter to __blkdev_put(), which is a new internal
function for the main blkdev_put*() functions. [parameter unused
on non-lockdep kernels, except for two sanity check WARN_ON()s]
these functions carry no semantical difference - they only express
object dependencies towards the lockdep subsystem.

Do 'make oldconfig' and accept all the defaults for new config options -
reboot into the kernel and if everything goes well it should boot up fine and
you should have /proc/lockdep and /proc/lockdep_stats files.
Typically if the lock validator finds some problem it will print out
voluminous debug output that begins with "BUG: ..." and which syslog output
can be used by kernel developers to figure out the precise locking scenario.
What does the lock validator do? It "observes" and maps all locking rules as
they occur dynamically (as triggered by the kernel's natural use of spinlocks,
rwlocks, mutexes and rwsems). Whenever the lock validator subsystem detects a
new locking scenario, it validates this new rule against the existing set of
rules. If this new rule is consistent with the existing set of rules then the
new rule is added transparently and the kernel continues as normal. If the
new rule could create a deadlock scenario then this condition is printed out.
When determining validity of locking, all possible "deadlock scenarios" are
considered: assuming arbitrary number of CPUs, arbitrary irq context and task
context constellations, running arbitrary combinations of all the existing
locking scenarios. In a typical system this means millions of separate
scenarios. This is why we call it a "locking correctness" validator - for all
rules that are observed the lock validator proves it with mathematical
certainty that a deadlock could not occur (assuming that the lock validator
implementation itself is correct and its internal data structures are not
corrupted by some other kernel subsystem). [see more details and conditionals
of this statement in include/linux/lockdep.h and
Documentation/lockdep-design.txt]
Furthermore, this "all possible scenarios" property of the validator also
enables the finding of complex, highly unlikely multi-CPU multi-context races
via single single-context rules, increasing the likelyhood of finding bugs
drastically. In practical terms: the lock validator already found a bug in
the upstream kernel that could only occur on systems with 3 or more CPUs, and
which needed 3 very unlikely code sequences to occur at once on the 3 CPUs.
That bug was found and reported on a single-CPU system (!). So in essence a
race will be found "piecemail-wise", triggering all the necessary components
for the race, without having to reproduce the race scenario itself! In its
short existence the lock validator found and reported many bugs before they
actually caused a real deadlock.
To further increase the efficiency of the validator, the mapping is not per
"lock instance", but per "lock-class". For example, all struct inode objects
in the kernel have inode->inotify_mutex. If there are 10,000 inodes cached,
then there are 10,000 lock objects. But ->inotify_mutex is a single "lock
type", and all locking activities that occur against ->inotify_mutex are
"unified" into this single lock-class. The advantage of the lock-class
approach is that all historical ->inotify_mutex uses are mapped into a single
(and as narrow as possible) set of locking rules - regardless of how many
different tasks or inode structures it took to build this set of rules. The
set of rules persist during the lifetime of the kernel.
To see the rough magnitude of checking that the lock validator does, here's a
portion of /proc/lockdep_stats, fresh after bootup:
lock-classes: 694 [max: 2048]
direct dependencies: 1598 [max: 8192]
indirect dependencies: 17896
all direct dependencies: 16206
dependency chains: 1910 [max: 8192]
in-hardirq chains: 17
in-softirq chains: 105
in-process chains: 1065
stack-trace entries: 38761 [max: 131072]
combined max dependencies: 2033928
hardirq-safe locks: 24
hardirq-unsafe locks: 176
softirq-safe locks: 53
softirq-unsafe locks: 137
irq-safe locks: 59
irq-unsafe locks: 176
The lock validator has observed 1598 actual single-thread locking patterns,
and has validated all possible 2033928 distinct locking scenarios.
More details about the design of the lock validator can be found in
Documentation/lockdep-design.txt, which can also found at:
