ata_piix: verify SIDPR access before enabling it
On certain configurations (certain macbooks), even though all the
conditions for SIDPR access described in the datasheet are met,
actually reading those registers just returns 0 and have no effect on
write. Verify SIDPR is actually working before enabling it.

libata: improve post-reset device ready test
Some controllers (jmb and inic162x) use 0x77 and 0x7f to indicate that
the device isn't ready yet. It looks like they use 0xff if device
presence is detected but connection isn't established. 0x77 or 0x7f
after connection is established and use the value from signature FIS
after receiving it.
This patch implements ata_check_ready(), which takes TF status value
and determines whether the port is ready or not considering the above
and other conditions, and use it in @check_ready() functions. This is
safe as both 0x77 and 0x7f aren't valid ready status value even though
they have BSY bit cleared.
This fixes hot plug detection failures which can be triggered with
certain drives if they aren't already spun up when the data connector
is hot plugged.
Tested on sil, sil24, ahci (jmb/ich), piix and inic162x combined with
eight drives from all major vendors.

Commit 06916639e2fed9ee475efef2747a1b7429f8fe76 ("driver-core: add
dev_name() to help transition away from using bus_id") added a static
inline dev_name() and used it in dev_printk.
Unfortunately, drivers/edac/edac_core.h defines a macro called
dev_name(). Rename the latter.
David Miller pointed it out that nothing in cpu_clock() sets
prev_cpu_time. This caused __sync_cpu_clock() to be called
all the time - against the intention of this code.
The result was that in practice we hit a global spinlock every
time cpu_clock() is called - which - even though cpu_clock()
is used for tracing and debugging, is suboptimal.
While at it, also:
- move the irq disabling to the outest layer,
this should make cpu_clock() warp-free when called with irqs
enabled.
- use long long instead of cycles_t - for platforms where cycles_t
is 32-bit.

When the echoed value was less than the number of processores, the result of the
sentence "shares/nr_cpu_ids" was 0, and then the system called div64() to divide
the result, the Div0 error occured.
It is unnecessary that the shares value is divided by nr_cpu_ids, I think.
Because in the function __update_group_shares_cpu() and init_tg_cfs_entry(),
the shares value isn't divided by nr_cpu_ids when setting shares of the sched
entity.
This patch fixes this bug. And echoing ULONG_MAX value into cpu.shares also
causes Div0 error, so we set a macro MAX_SHARES to limit the max value of
shares.
Concurrent calls to detach_destroy_domains and arch_init_sched_domains
were prevented by the old scheduler subsystem cpu hotplug mutex. When
this got converted to get_online_cpus() the locking got broken.
Unlike before now several processes can concurrently enter the critical
sections that were protected by the old lock.
So use the already present doms_cur_mutex to protect these sections again.

We currently use an optimization to skip the overhead of wake-idle
processing if more than one task is assigned to a run-queue. The
assumption is that the system must already be load-balanced or we
wouldnt be overloaded to begin with.
The problem is that we are looking at rq->nr_running, which may include
RT tasks in addition to CFS tasks. Since the presence of RT tasks
really has no bearing on the balance status of CFS tasks, this throws
the calculation off.
This patch changes the logic to only consider the number of CFS tasks
when making the decision to optimze the wake-idle.
Dmitry Adamushko pointed out a logic error in task_wake_up_rt() where we
will always evaluate to "true". You can find the thread here:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/4/22/296
In reality, we only want to try to push tasks away when a wake up request is
not going to preempt the current task. So lets fix it.
Note: We introduce test_tsk_need_resched() instead of open-coding the flag
check so that the merge-conflict with -rt should help remind us that we
may need to support NEEDS_RESCHED_DELAYED in the future, too.

Make forced module loading optional
The kernel module loader used to be much too happy to allow loading of
modules for the wrong kernel version by default. For example, if you
had MODVERSIONS enabled, but tried to load a module with no version
info, it would happily load it and taint the kernel - whether it was
likely to actually work or not!
Generally, such forced module loading should be considered a really
really bad idea, so make it conditional on a new config option
(MODULE_FORCE_LOAD), and make it default to off.
If somebody really wants to force module loads, that's their problem,
but we should not encourage it. Especially as it happened to me by
mistake (ie regular unversioned Fedora modules getting loaded) causing
lots of strange behavior.

x86: remove dell reboot dmi quirk board name match
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10547
Newer Dell OptiPlex 745s hang before rebooting after 'sudo reboot'.
A patch for some versions of the OptiPlex was proposed here --
http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/6/5/59 -- and is included in 2.6.23 and
later kernels, according to
http://lxr.linux.no/linux+v2.6.23/arch/i386/kernel/reboot.c . However,
the DMI_BOARD_NAME ("0WF810") is too restrictive. Newer OptiPlex
machines have a DMI_BOARD_NAME of "0RF703". I therefore suggest
adding another clause to reboot.c, similar to the one in the original
patch, but matching a DMI_BOARD_NAME of "0RF703".
On further inspection, it seems that there are other DMI_BOARD_NAMEs
for this same machine. They seem to change from time to time, which
means that the current code is fragile. Moreover, using bios reboot
should not break non-SFF OptiPlex 745s, and so a reasonable fix is to
simply drop the match on DMI_BOARD_NAME.

kbuild, suspend, x86: fix rebuild of wakeup.bin
In kernel/acpi/realmode/Makefile use the 'always'

In acpi/Makefile we then do not need to specify the
requested target and we avoid the message from make:
`arch/x86/kernel/acpi/realmode/wakeup.bin' is up to date.
Add wakeup.lds to list af targets to avoid rebuilding

This make sure not to schedule in atomic during fx_init. I also
changed the name of fpu_init to fx_finit to avoid duplicating the name
with fpu_init that is already used in the kernel, this makes grep

The in-kernel PIT emulation ignores pending timers if operating under
mode 4, which for example DragonFlyBSD uses (and Plan9 too, apparently).
Mode 4 seems to be similar to one-shot mode, other than the fact that it
starts counting after the next CLK pulse once programmed, while mode 1
starts counting immediately, so add a FIXME to enhance precision.

modpost: i2c aliases need no trailing wildcard
Not all device types need a wildcard at the end of their module
aliases. In particular, for i2c module aliases, the trailing wildcard
is not only unneeded, it could also cause the wrong driver to be
loaded.
As I2C devices have no IDs, i2c module aliases are simple, arbitrary
device names. For example:
This would cause trouble if one I2C chip name matches the beginning of
another I2C chip name and both chips are supported by different
drivers. For example, an i2c device named lm9042 would cause the lm90
driver to be loaded, while it doesn't support that device. This case
has yet to be seen in practice, but still, I'd like to fix it now. The
cleanest fix is to remove the trailing wildcard from i2c module aliases.
Here's a patch doing this.
Not all device type aliases need a trailing wildcard, in particular
the i2c aliases don't. Don't add a wildcard by default in do_table(),
instead let each device type handler add it if needed.
I have tested types acpi, dmi, eisa, i2c, ide, ieee1394, input, pci,
pcmcia, platform, pnp, scsi, serio, ssb and usb. Other types (ccw, of,
vio, parisc, sdio and virtio) are untested. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> Acked-by: Jochen Friedrich <jochen@scram.de> Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
