[IOAT]: Remove redundant struct member to avoid descriptor cache miss
The layout for struct ioat_desc_sw is non-optimal and causes an extra
cache hit for every descriptor processed. By tightening up the struct

the speedpath and get a little better performance.

Due to a mix up between the jdata attribute and inherit jdata attribute
it has not been possible to set the inherit jdata attribute on
directories. This is now fixed and the ioctl will report the inherit
jdata attribute for directories rather than the jdata attribute as it

This is part 2 of the patch for bug #245832, part 1 of which is already

The problem was that sdp->sd_log_num_databuf was not always being
protected by the gfs2_log_lock spinlock, but the sd_log_le_databuf
(which it is supposed to reflect) was protected. That meant there
was a timing window during which gfs2_log_flush called
databuf_lo_before_commit and the count didn't match what was
really on the linked list in that window. So when it ran out of
items on the linked list, it decremented total_dbuf from 0 to -1 and
thus never left the "while(total_dbuf)" loop.
The solution is to protect the variable sdp->sd_log_num_databuf so
that the value will always match the contents of the linked list,
and therefore the number will never go negative, and therefore, the
loop will be exited properly.

unfortunate effect that while applying memcpy alternative to memcpy
itself it tries to overwrite itself with nops - which causes #UD fault
as it overwrites half of an instruction in copy loop, and from this

ACPI: thermal: create "thermal.psv=" to override passive trip points
"thermal.psv=-1" disables passive trip points
for all ACPI thermal zones.
"thermal.psv=C", where 'C' is degrees Celsius,
overrides all existing passive trip points
for all ACPI thermal zones.
thermal.psv is checked at module load time,
and in response to trip-point change events.
Note that if the system does not deliver thermal zone
temperature change events near the new trip-point,
then it will not be noticed. To force your custom
trip point to be noticed, you may need to enable polling:
eg. thermal.tzp=3000 invokes polling every 5 minutes.
Note that once passive thermal throttling is invoked,
it has its own internal Thermal Sampling Period (_TSP),
that is unrelated to _TZP.
WARNING: disabling or raising a thermal trip point
may result in increased running temperature and
shorter hardware lifetime on some systems.

ACPI: thermal: expose "thermal.tzp=" to set global polling frequency
Thermal Zone Polling frequency (_TZP) is an optional ACPI object
recommending the rate that the OS should poll the associated thermal zone.
If _TZP is 0, no polling should be used.
If _TZP is non-zero, then the platform recommends that
the OS poll the thermal zone at the specified rate.
The minimum period is 30 seconds.
The maximum period is 5 minutes.
(note _TZP and thermal.tzp units are in deci-seconds,
so _TZP = 300 corresponds to 30 seconds)
If _TZP is not present, ACPI 3.0b recommends that the
thermal zone be polled at an "OS provided default frequency".
However, common industry practice is:
1. The BIOS never specifies any _TZP
2. High volume OS's from this century never poll any thermal zones
Ie. The OS depends on the platform's ability to
provoke thermal events when necessary, and
the "OS provided default frequency" is "never":-)
There is a proposal that ACPI 4.0 be updated to reflect
common industry practice -- ie. no _TZP, no polling.
The Linux kernel already follows this practice --
thermal zones are not polled unless _TZP is present and non-zero.
But thermal zone polling is useful as a workaround for systems
which have ACPI thermal control, but have an issue preventing
thermal events. Indeed, some Linux distributions still
set a non-zero thermal polling frequency for this reason.
But rather than ask the user to write a polling frequency
into all the /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/*/polling_frequency
files, here we simply document and expose the already
existing module parameter to do the same at system level,
to simplify debugging those broken platforms.
Note that thermal.tzp is a module-load time parameter only.
ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: fix sysfs paths in documentation
The documentation used "thinkpad-acpi" to refer to the directories in
sysfs, while it should have been using "thinkpad_acpi". Thanks to Hugh
Dickins for the error report.
I wish I could just call the module and everything else by the proper
name with the "-", instead of using these ugly translations to "_".

i386: Fix double fault handler
The new percpu code has apparently broken the doublefault handler
when CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK is set. Doublefault is handled by
a hardware task, making the check
fault because it uses the FS register to access the percpu data
for current, and that register is zero in the new TSS. (The trace
I saw was on 2.6.20 where it was GS, but it looks like this will
still happen with FS on 2.6.22.)
Initializing FS in the doublefault_tss should fix it.
AK: Also fix broken ptr_ok() and turn printks into KERN_EMERG
AK: And add a PANIC prefix to make clear the system will hang
AK: (e.g. x86-64 will recover)
