KVM: Kill the confusing tsc_ref_khz and ref_freq variables
They are globals, not clearly protected by any ordering or locking, and
vulnerable to various startup races.
Instead, for variable TSC machines, register the cpufreq notifier and get
the TSC frequency directly from the cpufreq machinery. Not only is it
always right, it is also perfectly accurate, as no error prone measurement
is required.
On such machines, when a new CPU online is brought online, it isn't clear what
frequency it will start with, and it may not correspond to the reference, thus
in hardware_enable we clear the cpu_tsc_khz variable to zero and make sure
it is set before running on a VCPU.
This patch reorganizes the logic in svm_interrupt_allowed to
make it better to read. This is important because the logic
is a lot more complicated with Nested SVM.

KVM: Activate Virtualization On Demand
X86 CPUs need to have some magic happening to enable the virtualization
extensions on them. This magic can result in unpleasant results for
users, like blocking other VMMs from working (vmx) or using invalid TLB
entries (svm).
Currently KVM activates virtualization when the respective kernel module
is loaded. This blocks us from autoloading KVM modules without breaking
other VMMs.
To circumvent this problem at least a bit, this patch introduces on
demand activation of virtualization. This means, that instead
virtualization is enabled on creation of the first virtual machine
and disabled on destruction of the last one.
So using this, KVM can be easily autoloaded, while keeping other
hypervisors usable.

modules: don't export section names of empty sections via sysfs
On the parisc architecture we face for each and every loaded kernel module
this kernel "badness warning":
sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/module/ac97_bus/sections/.text'
Badness at fs/sysfs/dir.c:487
Reason for that is, that on parisc all kernel modules do have multiple
.text sections due to the usage of the -ffunction-sections compiler flag
which is needed to reach all jump targets on this platform.
An objdump on such a kernel module gives:
Sections:
Idx Name Size VMA LMA File off Algn
0 .note.gnu.build-id 00000024000000000000000000000034 2**2

Since the .text sections are empty (size of 0 bytes) and won't be
loaded by the kernel module loader anyway, I don't see a reason
why such sections need to be listed under
/sys/module/<module_name>/sections/<section_name> either.

names which are empty.

This patch (as1304) fixes a regression in ehci-hcd. Evidently some
hubs don't handle Clear-TT-Buffer requests correctly, so we should

The reported symptom is that output on a downstream audio device cuts
out because the hub stops relaying isochronous packets.
The patch prevents Clear-TT-Buffer requests from being sent following
a STALL handshake. In theory a STALL indicates either that the
downstream device sent a STALL or that no matching TT buffer could be
found. In either case, the transfer is completed and the TT buffer
does not remain busy, so it doesn't need to be cleared.
Also, the patch fixes a minor flaw in the code that actually sends the
Clear-TT-Buffer requests. Although the pipe direction isn't really
used for control transfers, it should be a Send rather than a Receive.

Staging: hv: Fix vmbus event handler bug
The flag ENABLE_POLLING is always enabled in original Makefile, but
accidently removed during porting to mainline kernel. The patch fixes
this bug which can cause stalled network communication. Credit needs to
go to Eric Sesterhenn <eric.sesterhenn@lsexperts.de> For pointing out a
typo in the original code as well.

tty/of_serial: add missing ns16550a id
Many boards have a bug-free ns16550 compatible serial port, which we should
register as PORT_16550A. This introduces a new value "ns16550a" for the
compatible property of of_serial to let a firmware choose that model instead
of using the crippled PORT_16550 mode.
