tracing, perf: Convert the power tracer into an event tracer
This patch converts the existing power tracer into an event tracer,
so that power events (C states and frequency changes) can be
tracked via "perf".
This also removes the perl script that was used to demo the tracer;
its functionality is being replaced entirely with timechart.

pty_write: don't do a tty_wakeup() when the buffers are full
Commit ac89a9174 ("pty: don't limit the writes to 'pty_space()' inside
'pty_write()'") removed the pty_space() checking, in order to let the
regular tty buffer code limit the buffering itself.
That was all good, but as a subtle side effect it meant that we'd be
doing a tty_wakeup() even in the case where the buffers were all filled
up, and didn't actually make any progress on the write.
Which sounds innocuous, but it interacts very badly with the ppp_async
code, which has an infinite loop in ppp_async_push() that tries to push
out data to the tty. When we call tty_wakeup(), that loop ends up
thinking that progress was made (see the subtle interactions between
XMIT_WAKEUP and 'tty_stuffed' for details). End result: one unhappy ppp
user.
Fixed by noticing when tty_insert_flip_string() didn't actually do
anything, and then not doing any more processing (including, very much
not calling tty_wakeup()).

x86, pat: don't use rb-tree based lookup in reserve_memtype()
Recent enhancement of rb-tree based lookup exposed a bug with the lookup
mechanism in the reserve_memtype() which ensures that there are no conflicting
memtype requests for the memory range.
memtype_rb_search() returns an entry which has a start address <= new start
address. And from here we traverse the linear linked list to check if there
any conflicts with the existing mappings. As the rbtree is based on the
start address of the memory range, it is quite possible that we have several
overlapped mappings whose start address is much less than new requested start
but the end is >= new requested end. This results in conflicting memtype
mappings.
Same bug exists with the old code which uses cached_entry from where
we traverse the linear linked list. But the new rb-tree code exposes this
bug fairly easily.
For now, don't use the memtype_rb_search() and always start the search from
the head of linear linked list in reserve_memtype(). Linear linked list
for most of the systems grow's to few 10's of entries(as we track memory type
of RAM pages using struct page). So we should be ok for now.
We still retain the rbtree and use it to speed up free_memtype() which
doesn't have the same bug(as we know what exactly we are searching for
in free_memtype).
Also use list_for_each_entry_from() in free_memtype() so that we start
the search from rb-tree lookup result.

pata_amd: do not filter out valid modes in nv_mode_filter
On a Compaq Presario V3000 laptop (NVIDIA MCP51 chipset), pata_amd selects
PIO0 mode for the PATA DVD-RAM drive instead of MWDMA2 which it supports:
ata4.00: ATAPI: HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4084N, KQ09, max MWDMA2
ata4: nv_mode_filter: 0x39f&0x7001->0x1, BIOS=0x0 (0x0) ACPI=0x7001 (60:600:0x11)
ata4.00: configured for PIO0
For some reason, the BIOS-set UDMA configuration returns 0 and the ACPI _GTM
reports that UDMA2 and PIO0 are enabled. This causes nv_mode_filter to end up
allowing only PIO0 and UDMA0-2. Since the drive doesn't support UDMA we end up
using PIO0.
Since the controllers should always support PIO4, MWDMA2 and UDMA2 regardless
of what cable type is used, let's make sure we don't filter out these modes
regardless of what wacky settings the BIOS is using.

sata_promise's reset code has deviated quite a bit from
the Promise reference driver's, and it has been observed
to fail to recover from errors in some cases.
This patch thus updates the reset code to more closely
match the reference driver:
- soft reset (pdc_reset_port):
* wait for ATA engine to not be in packet command mode
(2nd gen only)
* write reset bit in PDC_CTLSTAT before the first read
in the loop
* for 2nd gen SATA follow up with FPDMA reset and clearing
error status registers
- hard reset (pdc_sata_hardreset):
* wait for ATA engine to not be in packet command mode
(2nd gen only)
* reset ATA engine via the PCI control register
* Tejun's change to use non-waiting hardreset + follow-up SRST
I'm not changing the hotplug mask bits since they are taken care
of by sata_promise's ->freeze() and ->thaw() operations. And I'm
not writing the PMP port # because that's always zero (for now).
Tested here on various controllers. In particular, one disk
which used to timeout and fail to recover from certain hdparm
and smartmonctl commands now works nicely.

libata: fix spurious WARN_ON_ONCE() on port freeze
Commit 54c38444fad6a99b4b19512f8f0055d69115e69e makes libata abort qcs
after the port is frozen. This is necessary to guarantee that TF
registers are accessed after the DMA engine is shutdown after an
error. However, this triggers WARN_ON_ONCE() check in
ata_qc_complete() spuriously. Move WARN_ON_ONCE() downwards such that
failing commands while frozen doesn't trigger it.
Commit a5bfc4714b3f01365aef89a92673f2ceb1ccf246 dropped explicit
pci_intx() manipulation from ahci because it seemed unnecessary and
ahci doesn't seem to be the right place to be tweaking it if it were.
This was largely okay but there are exceptions. There was one on an
embedded platform which was fixed via firmware and now bko#14124
reports it on a HP DL320.
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14124
I still think this isn't something libata drivers should be caring

seems to be the right thing to do.

use -march=loongson2e for loongson2e.
Thanks goes to Arnaud Patard <apatard@mandriva.com> for suggestion of
using cc-options(Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.txt). and thanks Zhang
Le for introducing the new CPU_LOONGSON2E kernel option.
NOTE: -mtune option is not need if -march and -mtune use the same value.
MIPS: Loongson: Add a machtype kernel command line argument
The difference between some loongson-based machines is very small, so, if
there is no necessary to add new kernel config options to cope with this
difference, it will be better to share the same kernel image file between
them, benefit from this, the linux distribution developers only have a need
to compile the kernel one time.
This machtype kernel command line argument will be used later to share the
same kernel image file between two different machines(menglong & yeeloong)
made by lemote.
Thanks very much to Zhang Le for cleaning up the machtype implementation.
MIPS: Loongson: Split common loongson source code out
To share common loongson source code between all of the loongson-based
machines. there is a need to split it out of the fuloong-2e/ directory.
at the same time, other according tuning is needed. the machine-specific
parts are defined as macros in relative header file, pci.h, mem.h,
machine.h.
To make source code of loongson sharable to the machines(such as gdium)
made by the other companies, we rename arch/mips/lemote to
arch/mips/loongson, asm/mach-lemote to asm/mach-loongson, and rename lm2e
to the name of the machine: fuloong-2e. accordingly, FULONG are renamed to
FULOONG2E to make it distinguishable to the future FULOONG2F. and also,
some other relative tuning is needed.
This kernel support is needed by the user-space tool:oprofile to profile
linux kernel or applications via loongson2 performance counters. you can
enable this driver via CONFIG_OPROFILE = y or m.
On Loongson2 there are two performance counters, each one can count 16
events respectively. when anyone of the performance counter overflows, an
interrupt will be generated and is routed to the IRQ MIPS_CPU_IRQ_BASE + 6.
MIPS: Loongson: RTC: Enable legacy RTC driver on fulong
RTC_LIB is selected by MIPS by default, and therefore, the legacy RTC
driver is disabled. but fortunately, RTC_LIB not works on fulong, so,
enabling the legcy RTC driver is needed, otherwise, the tools like
hwclock will not work.
MIPS: Loongson: Add new early_printk implmentation
This patch is based on the implementation in the lm2e-fixes branch of
Philippe's git://git.linux-cisco.org/linux-mips.git and the
malta-specific early_printk implementation.
Removes the existing implementation of early_printk for fulong. The old
implementation was based on the outdated board-specific dbg_io.c.
Since commit 8d60a903d986ffa26c41f0092320a3b9da20bfaf dbg_io.c is not longer
needed; it will be removed by the next patch, and a new implementation of
early_printk will be added later.
MIPS: TXx9: Disable PM capability of TX493[89] internal ether
Some TC35815 variants (i.e. TX493[89] internal ether) report existance of
PM registers though they are not supported. Disable PM features by
clearing pdev->pm_cap.

MIPS: make page.h constants available to assembly.
page.h includes ifndef __ASSEMBLY__ guards, but PAGE_SIZE and some other
constants are defined using "1UL", which the assembler does not support.
Use the _AC macro from const.h to make them available to assembly (and
linker scripts).

MIPS: Octeon: Check all CCAs in cvmx_write_csr.
The current code only checks CCA of 0 when deciding if a dummy read is
needed. Since the kernel can (and does) use other CCAs we need to
mask out the CCA bits from the address. Since the address constant
now fits in 16 bits, there is an added benefit that smaller code is
generated.

MIPS: Octeon: False positive timeout
If we reach the test just below the loop with a `timeout' value of 0,
this does not mean that the timeout caused the loop to end, but rather
the `smi_rd.s.pending', in the last iteration. If timeout caused the
loop to end, then `timeout' is -1, not 0.
Since this can occur only in the last iteration, it is not very likely
to be a problem. By changing the post- to prefix decrement we ensure
that a timeout of 0 does mean it timed out.
use the wrong API when free dma. So when map dma use a flag to
demostrate whether it is 'pci_map_single' or 'pci_map_page'. When free
the dma, check the flags to select the right APIs('pci_unmap_single'
or 'pci_unmap_page').
set the flags type to u16 instead of unsigned long on David's comments.
