Alex Chiang 5ad1890035 atlx: move modinfo data from atlx.h to atl1.c
Both atl1.c and atl2.c include atlx.h, which defines some modinfo
stuff. But atl2.c seems like it doesn't want the modinfo data
from atlx.h, as it defines its own.

Running modinfo on atl2.ko, we get conflicting information:

$ /sbin/modinfo drivers/net/atlx/atl2.ko | egrep "version|description|author"

Move the modinfo data out of atlx.h and into atl1.c to eliminate
the confusion:

Xiaotian Feng 18a36c1a39 gianfar: fix babbling rx error event bug
Gianfar interrupt handler uses IEVENT_ERR_MASK to check and handle errors.
Babbling RX error (IEVENT_BABR) should be included in IEVENT_ERROR_MASK.
Otherwise if BABR is raised, it never gets handled nor cleared, and an
interrupt storm results. This has been observed to happen on sending a
burst of ethernet frames to a gianfar based board.

Shaohua Li 7d60e8ab0d cpuidle: fix AMD C1E suspend hang
When AMD C1E is enabled, local APIC timer will stop even in C1. To avoid
suspend/resume hang, this patch removes C1 and replace it with a cpu_relax() in
suspend/resume path. This hasn't any impact in runtime path.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt 84532a0fc3 Revert "powerpc: Rework dma-noncoherent to use generic vmalloc layer"
This reverts commit 33f00dcedb.

    While it was a good idea to try to use the mm/vmalloc.c allocator instead
    of our own (in fact, ours is itself a dup on an old variant of the vmalloc
    one), unfortunately, the approach is terminally busted since
    dma_alloc_coherent() can be called at interrupt time or in atomic contexts
    and there's little chances we'll make the code in mm/vmalloc.c cope with\       that :-(

    Until we can get the generic code to forbid that idiocy and fix all
    drivers abusing it, we pretty much have no choice but revert to
    our custom virtual space allocator.

    There's also a problem with SMP safety since freeing such mapping
    would require an IPI which cannot be done at interrupt time.

    However, right now, I don't think we support any platform that is
    both SMP and has non-coherent DMA (don't laugh, I know such things
    do exist !) so we can sort that out later.

Eric Anholt cfa16a0de5 drm/i915: Apply a big hammer to 865 GEM object CPU cache flushing.
On the 865, but not the 855, the clflush we do appears to not actually make
it out to the hardware all the time.  An easy way to safely reproduce was
X -retro, which would show that some of the blits involved in drawing the
lovely root weave didn't make it out to the hardware.  Those blits are 32
bytes each, and 1-2 would be missing at various points around the screen.
Other experimentation (doing more clflush, doing more AGP chipset flush,
poking at some more device registers to maybe trigger more flushing) didn't
help.  krh came up with the wbinvd as a way to successfully get all those
blits to appear.

Eric Anholt e76a16deb8 drm/i915: Fix tiling pitch handling on 8xx.
The pitch field is an exponent on pre-965, so we were rejecting buffers
on 8xx that we shouldn't have.  915 got lucky in that the largest legal
value happened to match (8KB / 512 = 0x10), but 8xx has a smaller tile width.
Additionally, we programmed that bad value into the register on 8xx, so the
only pitch that would work correctly was 4096 (512-1023 pixels), while others
would probably give bad rendering or hangs.

Andreas Herrmann ca446d0635 [CPUFREQ] powernow-k8: determine exact CPU frequency for HW Pstates
Slightly modified by trenn@suse.de -> only do this on fam 10h and fam 11h.

Currently powernow-k8 determines CPU frequency from ACPI PSS objects, but
according to AMD family 11h BKDG this frequency is just a rounded value:

  "CoreFreq (MHz) = The CPU COF specified by MSRC001_00[6B:64][CpuFid]
  rounded to the nearest 100 Mhz."

As a consequnce powernow-k8 reports wrong CPU frequency on some systems,
e.g. on Turion X2 Ultra:

  powernow-k8: Found 1 AMD Turion(tm)X2 Ultra DualCore Mobile ZM-82
               processors (2 cpu cores) (version 2.20.00)
  powernow-k8:    0 : pstate 0 (2200 MHz)
  powernow-k8:    1 : pstate 1 (1100 MHz)
  powernow-k8:    2 : pstate 2 (600 MHz)

But this is wrong as frequency for Pstate2 is 550 MHz. x86info reports it
correctly:

  #x86info -a |grep Pstate
  ...
  Pstate-0: fid=e, did=0, vid=24 (2200MHz)
  Pstate-1: fid=e, did=1, vid=30 (1100MHz)
  Pstate-2: fid=e, did=2, vid=3c (550MHz) (current)

Solution is to determine the frequency directly from Pstate MSRs instead
of using rounded values from ACPI table.

(updated changelog)

cpufreq fix timer teardown in ondemand governor

The problem is that dbs_timer_exit() uses cancel_delayed_work() when it should
use cancel_delayed_work_sync(). cancel_delayed_work() does not wait for the
workqueue handler to exit.

The ondemand governor does not seem to be affected because the
"if (!dbs_info->enable)" check at the beginning of the workqueue handler returns
immediately without rescheduling the work. The conservative governor in
2.6.30-rc has the same check as the ondemand governor, which makes things
usually run smoothly. However, if the governor is quickly stopped and then

cpufreq fix timer teardown in conservative governor

The problem is that dbs_timer_exit() uses cancel_delayed_work() when it should
use cancel_delayed_work_sync(). cancel_delayed_work() does not wait for the
workqueue handler to exit.

The ondemand governor does not seem to be affected because the
"if (!dbs_info->enable)" check at the beginning of the workqueue handler returns
immediately without rescheduling the work. The conservative governor in
2.6.30-rc has the same check as the ondemand governor, which makes things
usually run smoothly. However, if the governor is quickly stopped and then
started, this could lead to the following race :

dbs_enable could be reenabled and multiple do_dbs_timer handlers would run.
This is why a synchronized teardown is required.

cpufreq: remove rwsem lock from CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP call

The following patch applies to 2.6.30-rc2. Stable kernels have a similar
issue which should also be fixed, but the code changed between 2.6.29
and 2.6.30, so this patch only applies to 2.6.30-rc.

Hrm, I think it must be due to my attempt to fix the timer teardown race
in ondemand governor mixed with new locking behavior in 2.6.30-rc.

The rwlock seems to be taken around the whole call to
cpufreq_governor_dbs(), when it should be only taken around accesses to
the locked data, and especially *not* around the call to
dbs_timer_exit().

Reverting my fix attempt would put the teardown race back in place
(replacing the cancel_delayed_work_sync by cancel_delayed_work).
Instead, a proper fix would imply modifying this critical section :

cpufreq.c: __cpufreq_remove_dev()
...
        if (cpufreq_driver->target)
                __cpufreq_governor(data, CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP);

        unlock_policy_rwsem_write(cpu);

To make sure the __cpufreq_governor() callback is not called with rwsem
held. This would allow execution of cancel_delayed_work_sync() without
being nested within the rwsem.

Applies on top of the 2.6.30-rc5 tree.

Required to remove circular dep in teardown of both conservative and
ondemande governors so they can use cancel_delayed_work_sync().
CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP does not modify the policy, therefore this locking seemed
unneeded.

David Dillow f11a377b3f r8169: avoid losing MSI interrupts
The 8169 chip only generates MSI interrupts when all enabled event
sources are quiescent and one or more sources transition to active. If
not all of the active events are acknowledged, or a new event becomes
active while the existing ones are cleared in the handler, we will not
see a new interrupt.

The current interrupt handler masks off the Rx and Tx events once the
NAPI handler has been scheduled, which opens a race window in which we
can get another Rx or Tx event and never ACK'ing it, stopping all
activity until the link is reset (ifconfig down/up). Fix this by always
ACK'ing all event sources, and loop in the handler until we have all
sources quiescent.

Tejun Heo 46176b4f6b x86, relocs: ignore R_386_NONE in kernel relocation entries
For relocatable 32bit kernels, boot/compressed/relocs.c processes
relocation entries in the kernel image and appends it to the kernel
image such that boot/compressed/head_32.S can relocate the kernel.
The kernel image is one statically linked object and only uses two
relocation types - R_386_PC32 and R_386_32, of the two only the latter
needs massaging during kernel relocation and thus handled by relocs.
R_386_PC32 is ignored and all other relocation types are considered
error.

When the target of a relocation resides in a discarded section,
binutils doesn't throw away the relocation record but nullifies it by
changing it to R_386_NONE, which unfortunately makes relocs fail.

The problem was triggered by yet out-of-tree x86 stack unwind patches
but given the binutils behavior, ignoring R_386_NONE is the right
thing to do.

The problem has been tracked down to binutils behavior by Jan Beulich.

[ Impact: fix build with certain binutils by ignoring R_386_NONE ]

Changeset ca17584bf2 ("mac8390: update

meant that lib8390.c was included twice, once in mac8390.c and once in
8390.c, subject to different macros. This patch reverts that by
avoiding the wrappers in 8390.c. They seem to be of no value since
COMPAT_NET_DEV_OPS is going away soon.

NeilBrown 7a91ee1f62 md: don't update curr_resync_completed without also updating reshape_position.
In order for the metadata to always be consistent, we mustn't updated
curr_resync_completed without also updating reshape_position.

The reshape code updates both at the same time.  However since
commit 97e4f42d62
the common md_do_sync will sometimes update curr_resync_completed
but is not in a position to update reshape_position.
So if MD_RECOVERY_RESHAPE is set (indicating that a reshape is
happening, so reshape_position might change), don't update
curr_resync_completed in md_do_sync, leave it to the per-personality
reshape code.
