(xen: disable PV spinlocks on HVM) for details.
But we did not disable it everywhere - which means that when
we boot as PVHVM we end up allocating per-CPU irq line for
spinlock. This fixes that.

The default (uninitialized) value of the IRQ line is -1.
Check if we already have allocated an spinlock interrupt line
and if somebody is trying to do it again. Also set it to -1
when we offline the CPU.

If the timer interrupt has been de-init or is just now being
initialized, the default value of -1 should be preset as
interrupt line. Check for that and if something is odd
WARN us.

We naively assume that the IRQ value passed in is correct.
If it is not, then any dereference operation for the 'info'
structure will result in crash - so might as well guard ourselves
and sprinkle copious amounts of WARN_ON.

The solution to that is use kasprintf in the CPU hotplug path
that 'online's the CPU. That is, do it in in xen_hvm_cpu_notify,
and remove the call to in xen_hvm_setup_cpu_clockevents.
Unfortunatly the later is not a good idea as the bootup path
does not use xen_hvm_cpu_notify so we would end up never allocating
timer%d interrupt lines when booting. As such add the check for
atomic() to continue.

While we don't use the spinlock interrupt line (see for details
commit f10cd522c5 -
xen: disable PV spinlocks on HVM) - we should still do the proper
init / deinit sequence. We did not do that correctly and for the
CPU init for PVHVM guest we would allocate an interrupt line - but
failed to deallocate the old interrupt line.
This resulted in leakage of an irq_desc but more importantly this splat

Now acpiphp_enumerate_slots() and acpiphp_remove_slots() may be invoked

mechanism to protect acpiphp bridge/slot/function data structures.
To avoid deadlock, handle_hotplug_event_bridge() will requeue the
hotplug event onto the kacpi_hotplug_wq by calling alloc_acpi_hp_work().
But the workaround has introduced a minor race window because the
'bridge' passed to _handle_hotplug_event_bridge() may have already been
destroyed when _handle_hotplug_event_bridge() is actually executed by
the kacpi_hotplug_wq. So hold a reference count on the passed 'bridge'.

EFI implementations distinguish between space that is actively used by a
variable and space that merely hasn't been garbage collected yet. Space
that hasn't yet been garbage collected isn't available for use and so isn't
counted in the remaining_space field returned by QueryVariableInfo().
Combined with commit 68d9298 this can cause problems. Some implementations
don't garbage collect until the remaining space is smaller than the maximum
variable size, and as a result check_var_size() will always fail once more
than 50% of the variable store has been used even if most of that space is
marked as available for garbage collection. The user is unable to create
new variables, and deleting variables doesn't increase the remaining space.
The problem that 68d9298 was attempting to avoid was one where certain
platforms fail if the actively used space is greater than 50% of the
available storage space. We should be able to calculate that by simply
summing the size of each available variable and subtracting that from
the total storage space. With luck this will fix the problem described in
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55471 without permitting
damage to occur to the machines 68d9298 was attempting to fix.

EFI variables can be flagged as being accessible only within boot services.
This makes it awkward for us to figure out how much space they use at
runtime. In theory we could figure this out by simply comparing the results
from QueryVariableInfo() to the space used by all of our variables, but
that fails if the platform doesn't garbage collect on every boot. Thankfully,
calling QueryVariableInfo() while still inside boot services gives a more
reliable answer. This patch passes that information from the EFI boot stub
up to the efi platform code.

Commit b51306c (PCI: Set device power state to PCI_D0 for device

by adding code causing dev->current_state for devices that don't
support native PCI PM but are power-manageable by the platform to be
changed to PCI_D0 regardless of the value returned by the preceding
platform_pci_set_power_state(). In particular, that also is done
if the platform_pci_set_power_state() has been successful, which
causes the correct power state of the device set by
pci_update_current_state() in that case to be overwritten by PCI_D0.
Fix that mistake by making the fallback to PCI_D0 only happen if
the platform_pci_set_power_state() has returned an error.

For s390 the page table mapping for the crashkernel memory is removed to
protect the pre-loaded kdump kernel and ramdisk. Because the crashkernel
memory is not included in the page tables for suspend/resume it is not

does no longer contain the pre-loaded kdump kernel and when kdump is
triggered it fails.
This patch adds a PM notifier that creates the page tables before suspend
is done and removes them for resume. This ensures that the kdump kernel
is included in the suspend image.

The cx25821 driver has support for one audio output channel and two video
output channels.
This is implemented in a very ugly and very evil way through a custom ioctl
that passes the filename of a file containing the video data, which is then
read by the driver itself using vfs.
There are a number of problems with this:
1) it's very ugly and very evil (I can't say that often enough).
2) V4L2 supports video output, so why not use that?
3) it's very buggy, closing the filehandle through which you passed the ioctl
will oops the kernel.
4) it's a nasty security leak since this allows you to load any file in the
system as a video or audio source, so in theory you can output /etc/passwd
to audio or video out and record & decode it on another device.
Because of all these issues we no longer register those output video nodes.
