[PATCH] rivafb/nvidiafb: race between register_framebuffer and *_bl_init
Since we now use the generic backlight infrastructure, I think we need to
call rivafb_bl_init before calling register_framebuffer since otherwise
rivafb_bl_init might race with the framebuffer layer already opening the
device and setting up the video mode. In this case we might end up with a
not yet fully intialized backlight (info->bl_dev still NULL) when calling
riva_bl_set_power via rivafb_set_par/rivafb_load_video_mode and the kernel
dies without any further notice during boot.
This fixes booting current git on a PB 6,1. In this case radeonfb/atyfb
would be affected too - I can fix that too but don't have any hardware to
test this on.

This patch fixes several problems:
- The legacy backlight value might be set at interrupt time. Introduced
a worker to prevent it from directly calling the backlight code.
- via-pmu allows the backlight to be grabbed, in which case we need to
prevent other kernel code from changing the brightness.
- Don't send PMU requests in via-pmu-backlight when the machine is about
to sleep or waking up.
- More Kconfig fixes.

Many IBM Thinkpad T4* models and some R* and X* with radeon video cards draw
too much power when suspended to RAM, reducing drastically the battery
lifetime. The solution is to enable suspend-to-D2 on these machines. They
are whitelisted through their subsystem vendor/device ID. This fixes
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3022
The patch introduces a framework to alter the pm_mode and reinit_func fields
of the radeonfb_info structure based on a whitelist. This should facilitate
future hardware-dependent workarounds. The workaround for the Samsung P35
that is already in the radeonfb code has been rewritten using this framework.
The behavior can be overridden with module options:
i) video=radeonfb:force_sleep=1
enable suspend-to-D2 also on non-whitelisted machines (useful for
testing new notebook models),
ii) video=radeonfb:ignore_devlist=1
Disable checking the whitelist and do not apply any workarounds.

[PATCH] fbdev: statically link the framebuffer notification functions
The backlight and lcd subsystems can be notified by the framebuffer layer
of blanking events. However, these subsystems, as a whole, can function
independently from the framebuffer layer. But in order to enable to the
lcd and backlight subsystems, the framebuffer has to be compiled also,
effectively sucking in a huge amount of unneeded code.
To prevent dependency problems, separate out the framebuffer notification
mechanism from the framebuffer layer and permanently link it to the kernel.

It is entirely possible (though rare) that jiffies half-wraps around, while a
dentry/inode remains in the cache. This could mean that the dentry/inode is
not invalidated for another half wraparound-time.
To get around this problem, use 64-bit jiffies. The only problem with this is
that dentry->d_time is 32 bits on 32-bit archs. So use d_fsdata as the high
32 bits. This is an ugly hack, but far simpler, than having to allocate
private data just for this purpose.
Since 64-bit jiffies can be assumed never to wrap around, simple comparison
can be used, and a zero time value can represent "invalid".
An attribute and entry timeout of zero should mean, that the entity is
invalidated immediately after the operation. Previously invalidation only
happened at the next clock tick.

[PATCH] vDSO hash-style fix
The latest toolchains can produce a new ELF section in DSOs and
dynamically-linked executables. The new section ".gnu.hash" replaces
".hash", and allows for more efficient runtime symbol lookups by the
dynamic linker. The new ld option --hash-style={sysv|gnu|both} controls
whether to produce the old ".hash", the new ".gnu.hash", or both. In some
new systems such as Fedora Core 6, gcc by default passes --hash-style=gnu
to the linker, so that a standard invocation of "gcc -shared" results in
producing a DSO with only ".gnu.hash". The new ".gnu.hash" sections need
to be dealt with the same way as ".hash" sections in all respects; only the
dynamic linker cares about their contents. To work with older dynamic
linkers (i.e. preexisting releases of glibc), a binary must have the old
".hash" section. The --hash-style=both option produces binaries that a new
dynamic linker can use more efficiently, but an old dynamic linker can
still handle.
The new section runs afoul of the custom linker scripts used to build vDSO
images for the kernel. On ia64, the failure mode for this is a boot-time
panic because the vDSO's PT_IA_64_UNWIND segment winds up ill-formed.
This patch addresses the problem in two ways.
First, it mentions ".gnu.hash" in all the linker scripts alongside ".hash".
This produces correct vDSO images with --hash-style=sysv (or old tools),
with --hash-style=gnu, or with --hash-style=both.
Second, it passes the --hash-style=sysv option when building the vDSO
images, so that ".gnu.hash" is not actually produced. This is the most
conservative choice for compatibility with any old userland. There is some
concern that some ancient glibc builds (though not any known old production
system) might choke on --hash-style=both binaries. The optimizations
provided by the new style of hash section do not really matter for a DSO
with a tiny number of symbols, as the vDSO has. If someone wants to use
=gnu or =both for their vDSO builds and worry less about that
compatibility, just change the option and the linker script changes will
make any choice work fine.

[PATCH] Reducing local_bh_enable/disable overhead in irqtrace
The recent changes from irqtrace feature has added overheads to
local_bh_disable and local_bh_enable that reduces UDP performance across
x86_64 and IA64, even though IA64 does not support the irqtrace feature.
Patch in question is
Prior to this patch, local_bh_disable was a short macro. Now it is a
function which calls __local_bh_disable with added irq flags save and
restore. The irq flags save and restore were also added to
local_bh_enable, probably for injecting the trace irqs code.
This overhead is on the generic code path across all architectures. On a
IA_64 test machine (Itanium-2 1.6 GHz) running a benchmark like netperf's
UDP streaming test, the added overhead results in a drop of 3% in
throughput, as udp_sendmsg calls the local_bh_enable/disable several times.
Other workloads that have heavy usages of local_bh_enable/disable could
also be affected. The patch ideally should not have affected IA-64
performance as it does not have IRQ tracing support. A significant portion
of the overhead is in the added irq flags save and restore, which I think
is not needed if IRQ tracing is unused. A suggested patch is attached
below that recovers the lost performance. However, the "ifdef"s in the
patch are a bit ugly.

The CD relationship comes from inotify_rm_wd:
inotify_rm_wd does

mutex_lock(&ih->mutex)
and then calls inotify_remove_watch_locked() which calls
notify_dev_queue_event() which does
mutex_lock(&dev->ev_mutex);
(this strictly is a BCD relationship)
The DA relationship comes from the most interesting part:
inotify_dev_queue_event schedules a kernel_event which does a
kmem_cache_alloc( , GFP_KERNEL) which may try to shrink slabs, including
the inode cache .. which then takes iprune_mutex.
And voila, there is an AB, a BC, a CD relationship (even a direct BCD),
and also now a DA relationship -> a circular type AB-BA deadlock but
involving 4 locks.
The solution is simple: kernel_event() is NOT allowed to use GFP_KERNEL,
but must use GFP_NOFS to not cause recursion into the VFS.

Kprobe inserts breakpoint instruction in probepoint and then jumps to
instruction slot when breakpoint is hit, the instruction slot icache must
be consistent with dcache. Here is the patch which invalidates instruction
slot icache area.
Without this patch, in some machines there will be fault when executing
instruction slot where icache content is inconsistent with dcache.

[PATCH] kprobe-booster: disable in preemptible kernel
The kprobe-booster's safety check against preemption does not work well
now, because the preemption count has been modified by read_rcu_lock() in
atomic_notifier_call_chain() before we check it. So, I'd like to prevent
boosting kprobe temporarily if the kernel is preemptable.
Now we are searching for the good solution.

[PATCH] knfsd: Fix stale file handle problem with subtree_checking.
A recent commit (7fc90ec93a5eb71f4b08403baf5ba7176b3ec6b1) moved the
call to nfsd_setuser out of the 'find a dentry for a filehandle' branch
of fh_verify so that it would always be called.
This had the unfortunately side-effect of moving *after* the call to
decode_fh, so the prober fsuid was not set when nfsd_acceptable was called,
the 'permission' check did the wrong thing.
This patch moves the nfsd_setuser call back where it was, and add as call
in the other branch of the if.

[PATCH] Fix ppc32 zImage inflate
The recent zlib update (commit 4f3865fb57a04db7cca068fed1c15badc064a302)
broke ppc32 zImage decompression as it tries to decompress to address zero
and the updated zlib_inflate checks that strm->next_out isn't a null
pointer.
This little patch fixes it.

[PATCH] delay accounting: temporarily enable by default
Enable delay accounting by default so that feature gets coverage testing
without requiring special measures.
Earlier, it was off by default and had to be enabled via a boot time param.
This patch reverses the default behaviour to improve coverage testing. It
can be removed late in the kernel development cycle if its believed users
shouldn't have to incur any cost if they don't want delay accounting. Or
it can be retained forever if the utility of the stats is deemed common
enough to warrant keeping the feature on.
[PATCH] taskstats: free skb, avoid returns in send_cpu_listeners
Add a missing freeing of skb in the case there are no listeners at all.
Also remove the returning of error values by the function as it is unused
by the sole caller.
[PATCH] make taskstats sending completely independent of delay accounting on/off status
Complete the separation of delay accounting and taskstats by ignoring the
return value of delay accounting functions that fill in parts of taskstats
before it is sent out (either in response to a command or as part of a task
exit).
Also make delayacct_add_tsk return silently when delay accounting is turned
off rather than treat it as an error.

[PATCH] genirq: {en,dis}able_irq_wake() need refcounting too
IRQs need refcounting and a state flag to track whether the the IRQ should
be enabled or disabled as a "normal IRQ" source after a series of calls to
{en,dis}able_irq(). For shared IRQs, the IRQ must be enabled so long as at
least one driver needs it active.
Likewise, IRQs need the same support to track whether the IRQ should be
enabled or disabled as a "wakeup event" source after a series of calls to
{en,dis}able_irq_wake(). For shared IRQs, the IRQ must be enabled as a
wakeup source during sleep so long as at least one driver needs it. But
right now they _don't have_ that refcounting ... which means sharing a
wakeup-capable IRQ can't work correctly in some configurations.
This patch adds the refcount and flag mechanisms to set_irq_wake() -- which
is what {en,dis}able_irq_wake() call -- and minimal documentation of what
the irq wake mechanism does.
Drivers relying on the older (broken) "toggle" semantics will trigger a
warning; that'll be a handful of drivers on ARM systems.

[PATCH] Process Events: Fix biarch compatibility issue. use __u64 timestamp
Events sent by Process Events Connector from a 64-bit kernel are not binary
compatible with a 32-bit userspace program because the "timestamp" field
(struct timespec) is not arch independent. This affects the fields that
follow "timestamp" as they will be be off by 8 bytes.
This is a problem for 32-bit userspace programs running with 64-bit kernels
on ppc64, s390, x86-64.. any "biarch" system.
Matt had submitted a different solution to lkml as an RFC earlier. We have
since switched to a solution recommended by Evgeniy Polyakov.
This patch fixes the problem by changing the timestamp to be a __u64, which
stores the number of nanoseconds.
Tested on a x86_64 system with both 32 bit application and 64 bit
application and on a i386 system.

[PATCH] ext3: avoid triggering ext3_error on bad NFS file handle
The inode number out of an NFS file handle gets passed eventually to
ext3_get_inode_block() without any checking. If ext3_get_inode_block()
allows it to trigger an error, then bad filehandles can have unpleasant
effect - ext3_error() will usually cause a forced read-only remount, or a
panic if `errors=panic' was used.
So remove the call to ext3_error there and put a matching check in
ext3/namei.c where inode numbers are read off storage.

[POWERPC] Make get_property() return a const void *
Previous changes have treated the return values of get_property as
const, so now we can make the actual change to get_property(). There
shouldn't be a need to cast the return values anymore.
We will now get compiler warnings when property values are assigned to
a non-const variable.
If properties need to be updated, there's still the of_find_property
function.
