The current check for monotonicity is way too weak: Andreas Mohr reports (
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/8/10/77 ) that on one of his test systems the
current check only triggers in 50% of all cases, leading to catastrophic
timer behaviour. To fix this issue, expand the check for monotonicity by
doing ten consecutive tests instead of one.
clocksource, acpi_pm.c: use proper read function also in errata mode
On all hardware (some Intel ICH4, PIIX4 and PIIX4E chipsets) affected by a
hardware errata there's about a 4.2% chance that initialization of the
ACPI PMTMR fails. On those chipsets, we need to read out the timer value
at least three times to get a correct result, for every once in a while
(i.e. within a 3 ns window every 69.8 ns) the read returns a bogus
result. During normal operation we work around this issue, but during
initialization reading a bogus value may lead to -EINVAL even though the
hardware is usable.
ntp: fix calculation of the next jiffie to trigger RTC sync
We have a bug in the calculation of the next jiffie to trigger the RTC
synchronisation. The aim here is to run sync_cmos_clock() as close as
possible to the middle of a second. Which means we want this function to
be called less than or equal to half a jiffie away from when now.tv_nsec
equals 5e8 (500000000).
If this is not the case for a given call to the function, for this purpose
instead of updating the RTC we calculate the offset in nanoseconds to the
next point in time where now.tv_nsec will be equal 5e8. The calculated
offset is then converted to jiffies as these are the unit used by the
timer.
Hovewer timespec_to_jiffies() used here uses a ceil()-type rounding mode,
where the resulting value is rounded up. As a result the range of
now.tv_nsec when the timer will trigger is from 5e8 to 5e8 + TICK_NSEC
rather than the desired 5e8 - TICK_NSEC / 2 to 5e8 + TICK_NSEC / 2.
As a result if for example sync_cmos_clock() happens to be called at the
time when now.tv_nsec is between 5e8 + TICK_NSEC / 2 and 5e8 to 5e8 +
TICK_NSEC, it will simply be rescheduled HZ jiffies later, falling in the
same range of now.tv_nsec again. Similarly for cases offsetted by an
integer multiple of TICK_NSEC.
This change addresses the problem by subtracting TICK_NSEC / 2 from the
nanosecond offset to the next point in time where now.tv_nsec will be
equal 5e8, effectively shifting the following rounding in
timespec_to_jiffies() so that it produces a rounded-to-nearest result.

[MIPS] Probe initrd header only if explicitly specified
Currently init_initrd() probes initrd header at the last page of kernel
image, but it is valid only if addinitrd was used. If addinitrd was not

header (magic number is not strictly robust).

trap_init issues flush_icache_range(), which uses ipi functions to
get icache flushing done on all cpus. But this is done before interrupts
are enabled and caused WARN_ON messages. This changeset introduces
a new local_flush_icache_range() and uses it before interrupts (and
additional CPUs) are enabled to avoid this problem.

* old->event_handler is set to clockevents_handle_noop
* tick_setup_device() is called for the new device
* which sets new->event_handler using the old->event_handler which is noop.
Change the ordering so that new device inherits the proper handler.
This does not have any issue in normal case as most likely all the clockevent
devices are setup before the highres switch. But, can potentially be affecting
some corner case where HPET force detect happens after the highres switch.
This was a problem with HPET in MSI mode code that we have been experimenting
with.

i2c: fix i2c-sh_mobile timing issues
This patch teaches the i2c-sh_mobile driver to make use of wait irqs.
Without this patch only dte irqs are used which may lead to overruns
and cases of missing stop and extra bytes being read on the i2c bus.
Use of wait irqs forces the hardware to pause and wait until the cpu
is ready. Polling is also reworked in this patch to fix ms delay issues.
Verified with bus analyzer and tested on MigoR and AP325RXA boards.

sh: resume_kernel fix for kernel oops built with CONFIG_BKL_PREEMPT=y.
This patch fixes a problem within the SH implementation of resume_kernel code,
that implements in assembly the bulk of preempt_schedule_irq function without
taking care of the extra code needed to handle the BKL preemptible.
The patch basically consists of removing this asm code and calling the common
C implementation (see kernel/sched.c) as other archs do.
Another change is the missing 'cli' macro invocation at the beginning of
the resume_kernel.

Input: i8042 - make Lenovo 3000 N100 blacklist entry more specific
Apparently, there are more different versions of Lenovo 3000 N100, some
of them working properly with active mux, and some of them requiring it
being switched off.
This patch applies 'nomux' only to the specific product name that is
reported to behave badly unless 'nomux' is specified.

Input: bcm5974 - add BTN_TOUCH event for mousedev benefit
The mousedev driver requires the use of BTN_TOUCH events to process
ABS_X and ABS_Y events properly, which is what is needed for the
bcm5974-based apple computers to have a functional pointer out-of-the-box.

Input: bcm5974 - improve finger tracking and counting
The problem of finger tracking, i.e., when to switch focus from one
finger to another on the trackpad, has been improved by utilizing more
information from the bcm5974 chip output. This results in less pointer
hopping when many fingers are on the trackpad. In addition, a finger
counting method based on pressure information from all fingers is
introduced. Together with a pressure hysteresis window, this yields a
more stable counting of the number of fingers on the trackpad.

V4L/DVB (8880): PATCH: Fix parents on some webcam drivers
While doing some testing using Luca Risolia's sonix driver I noticed that
the video device did not get ACL's set to allow access by locally logged in
users, nor does it show up as a video device in lshal, causing cheese to not
see it.
This turns out to be caused by all of Luca Risolia's drivers not setting
the parent member of the video_device struct. This patch fixes this.

Solution is to replace udelay by a mdelay and udelay with value less than 2000
