Commit b3df895aebe091b1657 "powerpc/kexec: Add support for FSL-BookE"

crash_kexec_wait_realmode(). Then commit c2be05481f61252

the ifdef around the calling site to add a check on SMP, but the

tty: fix endless work loop when the buffer fills up
Commit f23eb2b2b285 ('tty: stop using "delayed_work" in the tty layer')
ended up causing hung machines on UP with no preemption, because the
work routine to flip the buffer data to the ldisc would endlessly re-arm
itself if the destination buffer had filled up.
With the delayed work, that only caused a timer-driving polling of the
tty state every timer tick, but without the delay we just ended up with
basically a busy loop instead.
Stop the insane polling, and instead make the code that opens up the
receive room re-schedule the buffer flip work. That's what we should
have been doing anyway.
This same "poll for tty room" issue is almost certainly also the cause
of excessive kworker activity when idle reported by Dave Jones, who also
reported "flush_to_ldisc executing 2500 times a second" back in Nov 2010:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/11/30/592
which is that silly flushing done every timer tick. Wasting both power
and CPU for no good reason.

ALSA: pcm: fix infinite loop in snd_pcm_update_hw_ptr0()
When period interrupts are disabled, snd_pcm_update_hw_ptr0() compares
the current time against the time estimated for the current hardware
pointer to detect xruns. The somewhat fuzzy threshold in the while loop
makes it possible that hdelta becomes negative; the comparison being
done with unsigned types then makes the loop go through the entire 263
negative range, and, depending on the value, never reach an unsigned
value that is small enough to stop the loop. Doing this with interrupts
disabled results in the machine locking up.
To prevent this, ensure that the loop condition uses signed types for
both operands so that the comparison is correctly done.
Many thanks to Kelly Anderson for debugging this.

turns interrupts on. That means that if an interrupt occurs, we
will hit the masked interrupt code path which isn't what we want,
as it will return with EE off, which will either get us out of
NAP mode, or fail to enter it (according to spec).
Instead, let's just rely on the fact that it is safe to take

Cure this the simplest possibly way by partially reverting the

The default setting of perf record is to mmap 128 pages if the user
did not override with -m.
However the page size may vary accross different architecture
settings, giving different default size between each.
Moreover the kernel side still has a default max number of mlocked
pages of 512 kiB + 1 page for unprivileged users. 128 + 1 pages
with page size > 4096 overlaps this threshold.
Thus, better adapt to this limitation and set the default number of

drm/i915: Reset GMBUS controller after NAK
Once a NAK has been asserted by the slave, we need to reset the GMBUS
controller in order to continue. This is done by asserting the Software
Clear Interrupt bit and then clearing it again to restore operations.
If we don't clear the NAK, then all future GMBUS xfers will fail,
including DDC probes and EDID retrieval.

drm/i915: Busy-spin wait_for condition in atomic contexts
During modesetting, we need to wait for the hardware to report
readiness by polling the registers. Normally, we call msleep() between
reads, because some state changes may take a whole vblank or more
to complete. However during a panic, we are in an atomic context and
cannot sleep. Instead, busy spin polling the termination condition.

x86, amd-nb: Rename CPU PCI id define for F4
With increasing number of PCI function ids, add the PCI function
id in the define name instead of its symbolic name in the BKDG
for more clarity. This renames function 4 define.

sctp: Pass __GFP_NOWARN to hash table allocation attempts.
Like DCCP and other similar pieces of code, there are mechanisms
here to try allocating smaller hash tables if the allocation
fails. So pass in __GFP_NOWARN like the others do instead of
emitting a scary message.

sparc64: Fix section mis-match errors.
Fix all of the problems spotted by CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH under
arch/sparc during a 64-bit defconfig build.
They fall into two categorites:
1) of_device_id is marked as __initdata, and we can never do this
since these objects sit in the device core data structures way
past boot. So even if a driver will never be reloaded, we have
to keep the device ID table around.
Mark such cases const instead.
2) The bootmem alloc/free handling code in mdesc.c was not fully
marked __init as it should be, thus generating a reference
to free_bootmem_late() (which is __init) from non-__init code.

connector: convert to synchronous netlink message processing
Commits 01a16b21 (netlink: kill eff_cap from struct netlink_skb_parms)
and c53fa1ed (netlink: kill loginuid/sessionid/sid members from struct
netlink_skb_parms) removed some members from struct netlink_skb_parms
that depend on the current context, all netlink users are now required
to do synchronous message processing.
connector however queues received messages and processes them in a work
queue, which is not valid anymore. This patch converts connector to do
synchronous message processing by invoking the registered callback handler
directly from the netlink receive function.
In order to avoid invoking the callback with connector locks held, a
reference count is added to struct cn_callback_entry, the reference
is taken when finding a matching callback entry on the device's queue_list
and released after the callback handler has been invoked.
