d484864dd9 Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.linaro.org/people/mszyprowski/linux-dma-mapping
Pull CMA and ARM DMA-mapping updates from Marek Szyprowski:
 "These patches contain two major updates for DMA mapping subsystem
  (mainly for ARM architecture).  First one is Contiguous Memory
  Allocator (CMA) which makes it possible for device drivers to allocate
  big contiguous chunks of memory after the system has booted.

  The main difference from the similar frameworks is the fact that CMA
  allows to transparently reuse the memory region reserved for the big
  chunk allocation as a system memory, so no memory is wasted when no
  big chunk is allocated.  Once the alloc request is issued, the
  framework migrates system pages to create space for the required big
  chunk of physically contiguous memory.

  For more information one can refer to nice LWN articles:

   - 'A reworked contiguous memory allocator':
		http://lwn.net/Articles/447405/

   - 'CMA and ARM':
		http://lwn.net/Articles/450286/

   - 'A deep dive into CMA':
		http://lwn.net/Articles/486301/

   - and the following thread with the patches and links to all previous
     versions:
		https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/4/3/204

  The main client for this new framework is ARM DMA-mapping subsystem.

  The second part provides a complete redesign in ARM DMA-mapping
  subsystem.  The core implementation has been changed to use common
  struct dma_map_ops based infrastructure with the recent updates for
  new dma attributes merged in v3.4-rc2.  This allows to use more than
  one implementation of dma-mapping calls and change/select them on the
  struct device basis.  The first client of this new infractructure is
  dmabounce implementation which has been completely cut out of the
  core, common code.

  The last patch of this redesign update introduces a new, experimental
  implementation of dma-mapping calls on top of generic IOMMU framework.
  This lets ARM sub-platform to transparently use IOMMU for DMA-mapping
  calls if one provides required IOMMU hardware.

  For more information please refer to the following thread:
		http://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg175729.html

  The last patch merges changes from both updates and provides a
  resolution for the conflicts which cannot be avoided when patches have
  been applied on the same files (mainly arch/arm/mm/dma-mapping.c)."

5307c9556b tick: Add tick skew boot option
Let the user decide whether power consumption or jitter is the
more important consideration for their machines.

Quoting removal commit af5ab277de:

"Historically, Linux has tried to make the regular timer tick on the
 various CPUs not happen at the same time, to avoid contention on
 xtime_lock.
    
 Nowadays, with the tickless kernel, this contention no longer happens
 since time keeping and updating are done differently. In addition,
 this skew is actually hurting power consumption in a measurable way on
 many-core systems."

Problems:

- Contrary to the above, systems do encounter contention on both
  xtime_lock and RCU structure locks when the tick is synchronized.
  
- Moderate sized RT systems suffer intolerable jitter due to the tick
  being synchronized.

- SGI reports the same for their large systems.

- Fully utilized systems reap no power saving benefit from skew removal,
  but do suffer from resulting induced lock contention.

- 0209f649 rcu: limit rcu_node leaf-level fanout
  This patch was born to combat lock contention which testing showed
  to have been _induced by_ skew removal.  Skew the tick, contention
  disappeared virtually completely.

f2fde3a65e Merge branch 'drm-core-next' of git://people.freedesktop.org/~airlied/linux
Pull main drm updates from Dave Airlie:
 "This is the main merge window request for the drm.

  It's big, but jam packed will lots of features and of course 0
  regressions.  (okay maybe there'll be one).

  Highlights:

   - new KMS drivers for server GPU chipsets: ast, mgag200 and cirrus
     (qemu only).  These drivers use the generic modesetting drivers.

   - initial prime/dma-buf support for i915, nouveau, radeon, udl and
     exynos

   - switcheroo audio support: so GPUs with HDMI can turn off the sound
     driver without crashing stuff.

   - There are some patches drifting outside drivers/gpu into x86 and
     EFI for better handling of multiple video adapters in Apple Macs,
     they've got correct acks except one trivial fixup.

   - Core:
	edid parser has better DMT and reduced blanking support,
	crtc properties,
	plane properties,

   - Drivers:
	exynos: add 2D core accel support, prime support, hdmi features
	intel: more Haswell support, initial Valleyview support, more
	    hdmi infoframe fixes, update MAINTAINERS for Daniel, lots of
	    cleanups and fixes
	radeon: more HDMI audio support, improved GPU lockup recovery
	    support, remove nested mutexes, less memory copying on PCIE, fix
	    bus master enable race (kexec), improved fence handling
	gma500: cleanups, 1080p support, acpi fixes
	nouveau: better nva3 memory reclocking, kepler accel (needs
	    external firmware rip), async buffer moves on nv84+ hw.

  I've some more dma-buf patches that rely on the dma-buf merge for vmap
  stuff, and I've a few fixes building up, but I'd decided I'd better
  get rid of the main pull sooner rather than later, so the audio guys
  are also unblocked."

d5b4bb4d10 Merge branch 'delete-mca' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux
Pull the MCA deletion branch from Paul Gortmaker:
 "It was good that we could support MCA machines back in the day, but
  realistically, nobody is using them anymore.  They were mostly limited
  to 386-sx 16MHz CPU and some 486 class machines and never more than
  64MB of RAM.  Even the enthusiast hobbyist community seems to have
  dried up close to ten years ago, based on what you can find searching
  various websites dedicated to the relatively short lived hardware.

  So lets remove the support relating to CONFIG_MCA.  There is no point
  carrying this forward, wasting cycles doing routine maintenance on it;
  wasting allyesconfig build time on validating it, wasting I/O on git
  grep'ping over it, and so on."

Let's see if anybody screams.  It generally has compiled, and James
Bottomley pointed out that there was a MCA extension from NCR that
allowed for up to 4GB of memory and PPro-class machines.  So in *theory*
there may be users out there.

But even James (technically listed as a maintainer) doesn't actually
have a system, and while Alan Cox claims to have a machine in his cellar
that he offered to anybody who wants to take it off his hands, he didn't
argue for keeping MCA support either.

So we could bring it back.  But somebody had better speak up and talk
about how they have actually been using said MCA hardware with modern
kernels for us to do that.  And David already took the patch to delete
all the networking driver code (commit a5e371f61a: "drivers/net:
delete all code/drivers depending on CONFIG_MCA").

* 'delete-mca' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux:

c790950928 ARM: integrate CMA with DMA-mapping subsystem
This patch adds support for CMA to dma-mapping subsystem for ARM
architecture. By default a global CMA area is used, but specific devices
are allowed to have their private memory areas if required (they can be
created with dma_declare_contiguous() function during board
initialisation).

Contiguous memory areas reserved for DMA are remapped with 2-level page
tables on boot. Once a buffer is requested, a low memory kernel mapping
is updated to to match requested memory access type.

GFP_ATOMIC allocations are performed from special pool which is created
early during boot. This way remapping page attributes is not needed on
allocation time.

CMA has been enabled unconditionally for ARMv6+ systems.

c64be2bb1c drivers: add Contiguous Memory Allocator
The Contiguous Memory Allocator is a set of helper functions for DMA
mapping framework that improves allocations of contiguous memory chunks.

CMA grabs memory on system boot, marks it with MIGRATE_CMA migrate type
and gives back to the system. Kernel is allowed to allocate only movable
pages within CMA's managed memory so that it can be used for example for
page cache when DMA mapping do not use it. On
dma_alloc_from_contiguous() request such pages are migrated out of CMA
area to free required contiguous block and fulfill the request. This
allows to allocate large contiguous chunks of memory at any time
assuming that there is enough free memory available in the system.

This code is heavily based on earlier works by Michal Nazarewicz.

2df83fa4bc PM / Hibernate: Use get_gendisk to verify partition if resume_file is integer format
Sometimes resume= parameter comes in integer style (e.g. major:minor)
and then name_to_dev_t can not detect partition properly. (especially
async device like usb, mmc).

This patch calls get_gendisk() if resumewait is true and resume_file
is in integer format to work around this problem.

bb8187d35f MCA: delete all remaining traces of microchannel bus support.
Hardware with MCA bus is limited to 386 and 486 class machines
that are now 20+ years old and typically with less than 32MB
of memory.  A quick search on the internet, and you see that
even the MCA hobbyist/enthusiast community has lost interest
in the early 2000 era and never really even moved ahead from
the 2.4 kernels to the 2.6 series.

This deletes anything remaining related to CONFIG_MCA from core
kernel code and from the x86 architecture.  There is no point in
carrying this any further into the future.

One complication to watch for is inadvertently scooping up
stuff relating to machine check, since there is overlap in
the TLA name space (e.g. arch/x86/boot/mca.c).

284f5f9dba PCI: work around Stratus ftServer broken PCIe hierarchy
A PCIe downstream port is a P2P bridge.  Its secondary interface is
a link that should lead only to device 0 (unless ARI is enabled)[1], so
we don't probe for non-zero device numbers.

Some Stratus ftServer systems have a PCIe downstream port (02:00.0) that
leads to both an upstream port (03:00.0) and a downstream port (03:01.0),
and 03:01.0 has important devices below it:

  [0000:02]-+-00.0-[03-3c]--+-00.0-[04-09]--...
                            \-01.0-[0a-0d]--+-[USB]
                                            +-[NIC]
                                            +-...

Previously, we didn't enumerate device 03:01.0, so USB and the network
didn't work.  This patch adds a DMI quirk to scan all device numbers,
not just 0, below a downstream port.

Based on a patch by Prarit Bhargava.

effbc4fd8e Merge branch 'drm-intel-next' of git://people.freedesktop.org/~danvet/drm-intel into drm-core-next
Daniel Vetter wrote
First pull request for 3.5-next, slightly large than usual because new
things kept coming in since the last pull for 3.4.
Highlights:
- first batch of hw enablement for vlv (Jesse et al) and hsw (Eugeni). pci
 ids are not yet added, and there's still quite a few patches to merge
 (mostly modesetting). To make QA easier I've decided to merge this stuff
 in pieces.
- loads of cleanups and prep patches spurred by the above. Especially vlv
 is a real frankenstein chip, but also hsw is stretching our driver's
 code design. Expect more to come in this area for 3.5.
- more gmbus fixes, cleanups and improvements by Daniel Kurtz. Again,
 there are more patches needed (and some already queued up), but I wanted
 to split this a bit for better testing.
- pwrite/pread rework and retuning. This series has been in the works for
 a few months already and a lot of i-g-t tests have been created for it.
 Now it's finally ready to be merged.  Note that one patch in this series
 touches include/pagemap.h, that patch is acked-by akpm.
- reduce mappable pressure and relocation throughput improvements from
 Chris.
- mmap offset exhaustion mitigation by Chris Wilson.
- a start at figuring out which codepaths in our messy dri1/ums+gem/kms
 driver we actually need to support by bailing out of unsupported case.
 The driver now refuses to load without kms on gen6+ and disallows a few
 ioctls that userspace never used in certain cases. More of this will
 definitely come.
- More decoupling of global gtt and ppgtt.
- Improved dual-link lvds detection by Takashi Iwai.
- Shut up the compiler + plus fix the fallout (Ben)
- Inverted panel brightness handling (mostly Acer manages to break things
 in this way).
- Small fixlets and adjustements and some minor things to help debugging.

Regression-wise QA reported quite a few issues on ivb, but all of them
turned out to be hw stability issues which are already fixed in
drm-intel-fixes (QA runs the nightly regression tests on -next alone,
without -fixes automatically merged in). There's still one issue open on
snb, it looks like occlusion query writes are not quite as cache coherent
as we've expected. With some of the pwrite adjustements we can now
reliably hit this. Kernel workaround for it is in the works."

71db34fc43 Merge branch 'for-3.4' of git://linux-nfs.org/~bfields/linux
Pull nfsd changes from Bruce Fields:

Highlights:
 - Benny Halevy and Tigran Mkrtchyan implemented some more 4.1 features,
   moving us closer to a complete 4.1 implementation.
 - Bernd Schubert fixed a long-standing problem with readdir cookies on
   ext2/3/4.
 - Jeff Layton performed a long-overdue overhaul of the server reboot
   recovery code which will allow us to deprecate the current code (a
   rather unusual user of the vfs), and give us some needed flexibility
   for further improvements.
 - Like the client, we now support numeric uid's and gid's in the
   auth_sys case, allowing easier upgrades from NFSv2/v3 to v4.x.

Plus miscellaneous bugfixes and cleanup.

Thanks to everyone!

There are also some delegation fixes waiting on vfs review that I
suppose will have to wait for 3.5.  With that done I think we'll finally
turn off the "EXPERIMENTAL" dependency for v4 (though that's mostly
symbolic as it's been on by default in distro's for a while).

And the list of 4.1 todo's should be achievable for 3.5 as well:

   http://wiki.linux-nfs.org/wiki/index.php/Server_4.0_and_4.1_issues

though we may still want a bit more experience with it before turning it
on by default.

e9541ce8ef nfsd4: allow numeric idmapping
Mimic the client side by providing a module parameter that turns off
idmapping in the auth_sys case, for backwards compatibility with NFSv2
and NFSv3.

Unlike in the client case, we don't have any way to negotiate, since the
client can return an error to us if it doesn't like the id that we
return to it in (for example) a getattr call.

However, it has always been possible for servers to return numeric id's,
and as far as we're aware clients have always been able to handle them.

Also, in the auth_sys case clients already need to have numeric id's the
same between client and server.

Therefore we believe it's safe to default this to on; but the module
parameter is available to return to previous behavior if this proves to
be a problem in some unexpected setup.

 - SUNRPC tracepoints.
   Start the process of adding tracepoints in order to improve debugging

 - Fix a bug in rpc_wake_up/rpc_wake_up_status that caused them to fail
   to wake up all tasks when applied to priority waitqueues.
 - Ensure that we handle read delegations correctly, when we try to
   truncate a file.

be53bfdb80 Merge branch 'drm-next' of git://people.freedesktop.org/~airlied/linux
Pull drm main changes from Dave Airlie:
 "This is the main drm pull request, I'm probably going to send two more
  smaller ones, will explain below.

  This contains a patch that is also in the fbdev tree, but it should be
  the same patch, it added an API for hot unplugging framebuffer
  devices, and I need that API for a new driver.

  It also contains some changes to the i2c tree which Jean has acked,
  and one change to moorestown platform stuff in x86.

  Highlights:
   - new drivers: UDL driver for USB displaylink devices, kms only,
     should support correct hotplug operations.
   - core: i2c speedups + better hotplug support, EDID overriding via
     firmware interface - allows user to load a firmware for a broken
     monitor/kvm from userspace, it even has documentation for it.
   - exynos: new HDMI audio + hdmi 1.4 + virtual output driver
   - gma500: code cleanup
   - radeon: cleanups, CS optimisations, streamout support and pageflip
     fix
   - nouveau: NVD9 displayport support + more reclocking work
   - i915: re-enabling GMBUS, finish gpu patch (might help hibernation
     who knows), missed irq fixes, stencil tiling fixes, interlaced
     support, aliasesd PPGTT support for SNB/IVB, swizzling for SNB/IVB,
     semaphore fixes

  As well as the usual bunch of cleanups and fixes all over the place.

  I've got two things I'd like to merge a bit later:

   a) AMD support for all their new radeonhd 7000 series GPU and APUs.
      AMD dropped this a bit late due to insane internal review
      processes, (please AMD just follow Intel and let open source guys
      ship stuff early) however I don't want to penalise people who own
      this hardware (since its been on sale for 3-4 months and GPU hw
      doesn't exactly have a lifetime in years) and consign them to
      using closed drivers for longer than necessary.  The changes are
      well contained and just plug into the driver new gpu functionality
      so they should be fairly regression proof.  I just want to give
      them a bit of a run on the hw AMD kindly sent me.

   b) drm prime/dma-buf interface code.  This is just infrastructure
      code to expose the dma-buf stuff to drm drivers and to userspace.
      I'm not planning on pushing any driver support in this cycle
      (except maybe exynos), but I'd like to get the infrastructure code
      in so for the next cycle I can start getting the driver support
      into the individual drivers.  We have started driver support for
      i915, nouveau and udl along with I think exynos and omap in
      staging.  However this code relies on the dma-buf tree being
      pulled into your tree first since it needs the latest interfaces
      from that tree.  I'll push to get that tree sent asap.

  (oh and any warnings you see in i915 are gcc's fault from what anyone
  can see)."

Fix up trivial conflicts in arch/x86/platform/mrst/mrst.c due to the new
msic_thermal_platform_data() thermal function being added next to the
tc35876x_platform_data() i2c device function..

18d98f6c04 pnfs-obj: autologin: Add support for protocol autologin
The pnfs-objects protocol mandates that we autologin into devices not
present in the system, according to information specified in the
get_device_info returned from the server.

The Protocol specifies two login hints.
1. An IP address:port combination
2. A string URI which is constructed as a URL with a protocol prefix
   followed by :// and a string as address. For each  protocol prefix
   the string-address format might be different.

We only support the second option. The first option is just redundant
to the second one.
NOTE: The Kernel part of autologin does not parse the URI string. It
just channels it to a user-mode script. So any new login protocols should
only update the user-mode script which is a part of the nfs-utils package,
but the Kernel need not change.

We implement the autologin by using the call_usermodehelper() API.
(Thanks to Steve Dickson <steved@redhat.com> for pointing it out)
So there is no running daemon needed, and/or special setup.

We Add the osd_login_prog Kernel module parameters which defaults to:
	/sbin/osd_login

Kernel try's to upcall the program specified in osd_login_prog. If the file is
not found or the execution fails Kernel will disable any farther upcalls, by
zeroing out  osd_login_prog, Until Admin re-enables it by setting the
osd_login_prog parameter to a proper program.

Also add text about the osd_login program command line API to:
	Documentation/filesystems/nfs/pnfs.txt
and documentation of the new  osd_login_prog  module parameter to:
	Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt

da0df92b57 drm: allow loading an EDID as firmware to override broken monitor
Broken monitors and/or broken graphic boards may send erroneous or no
EDID data. This also applies to broken KVM devices that are unable to
correctly forward the EDID data of the connected monitor but invent
their own fantasy data.

This patch allows to specify an EDID data set to be used instead of
probing the monitor for it. It contains built-in data sets of frequently
used screen resolutions. In addition, a particular EDID data set may be
provided in the /lib/firmware directory and loaded via the firmware
interface. The name is passed to the kernel as module parameter of the
drm_kms_helper module either when loaded
  options drm_kms_helper edid_firmware=edid/1280x1024.bin
or as kernel commandline parameter
  drm_kms_helper.edid_firmware=edid/1280x1024.bin

It is also possible to restrict the usage of a specified EDID data set
to a particular connector. This is done by prepending the name of the
connector to the name of the EDID data set using the syntax
  edid_firmware=[<connector>:]<edid>
such as, for example,
  edid_firmware=DVI-I-1:edid/1920x1080.bin
in which case no other connector will be affected.

The built-in data sets are
Resolution    Name
--------------------------------
1024x768      edid/1024x768.bin
1280x1024     edid/1280x1024.bin
1680x1050     edid/1680x1050.bin
1920x1080     edid/1920x1080.bin

They are ignored, if a file with the same name is available in the
/lib/firmware directory.

The built-in EDID data sets are based on standard timings that may not
apply to a particular monitor and even crash it. Ideally, EDID data of
the connected monitor should be used. They may be obtained through the
drm/cardX/cardX-<connector>/edid entry in the /sys/devices PCI directory
of a correctly working graphics adapter.

It is even possible to specify the name of an EDID data set on-the-fly
via the /sys/module interface, e.g.
echo edid/myedid.bin >/sys/module/drm_kms_helper/parameters/edid_firmware
The new screen mode is considered when the related kernel function is
called for the first time after the change. Such calls are made when the
X server is started or when the display settings dialog is opened in an
already running X server.

7bd90909bb drm/i915: panel: invert brightness via parameter
Following the documentation of the Legacy Backlight Brightness (LBB)
Register in the configuration space of some Intel PCI graphics adapters,
setting the LBB register with the value 0x0 causes the backlight to be
turned off, and 0xFF causes the backlight to be set to 100% intensity
(http://download.intel.com/embedded/processors/Whitepaper/324567.pdf).
The Acer Aspire 5734Z, however, turns the backlight off at 0xFF and sets
it to maximum intensity at 0. In consequence, the screen of this systems
becomes dark at an early boot stage which makes it unusable. The same
inversion applies to the BLC_PWM_CTL I915 register. This problem was
introduced in kernel version 2.6.38 when the PCI device of this system
was first supported by the i915 KMS module.

This patch adds a parameter to the i915 module to enable inversion of
the brightness variable (i915.invert_brightness).

c22ab33290 kmsg_dump: don't run on non-error paths by default
Since commit 04c6862c05 ("kmsg_dump: add kmsg_dump() calls to the
reboot, halt, poweroff and emergency_restart paths"), kmsg_dump() gets
run on normal paths including poweroff and reboot.

This is less than ideal given pstore implementations that can only
represent single backtraces, since a reboot may overwrite a stored oops
before it's been picked up by userspace.  In addition, some pstore
backends may have low performance and provide a significant delay in
reboot as a result.

This patch adds a printk.always_kmsg_dump kernel parameter (which can also
be changed from userspace).  Without it, the code will only be run on
failure paths rather than on normal paths.  The option can be enabled in
environments where there's a desire to attempt to audit whether or not a
reboot was cleanly requested or not.

6748dcc269 PCI / PCIe: Introduce command line option to disable ARI
There are PCIe devices on the market that report ARI support but
then fail to initialize correctly when ARI is actually used.  This
leads to situations in which kernels 2.6.34 and newer fail to handle
systems where the previous kernels worked without any apparent
problems.  Unfortunately, it is currently unknown how many such
devices are there.

For this reason, introduce a new kernel command line option,
pci=noari, allowing users to disable PCIe ARI altogether if they
see problems with PCIe device initialization.

This will let us add a config option to control default behavior, and

An un-wanted interrupt is generated when PCI driver switches from

c0a32fc5a2 mm: more intensive memory corruption debugging
With CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC configured, the CPU will generate an exception
on access (read,write) to an unallocated page, which permits us to catch
code which corrupts memory.  However the kernel is trying to maximise
memory usage, hence there are usually few free pages in the system and
buggy code usually corrupts some crucial data.

This patch changes the buddy allocator to keep more free/protected pages
and to interlace free/protected and allocated pages to increase the
probability of catching corruption.

When the kernel is compiled with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC,
debug_guardpage_minorder defines the minimum order used by the page
allocator to grant a request.  The requested size will be returned with
the remaining pages used as guard pages.

The default value of debug_guardpage_minorder is zero: no change from
current behaviour.

074b1d12fe NFSv4: Change the default setting of the nfs4_disable_idmapping parameter
Now that the use of numeric uids/gids is officially sanctioned in
RFC3530bis, it is time to change the default here to 'enabled'.

By doing so, we ensure that NFSv4 copies the behaviour of NFSv3 when we're
using the default AUTH_SYS authentication (i.e. when the client uses the
numeric uids/gids as authentication tokens), so that when new files are
created, they will appear to have the correct user/group.
It also fixes a number of backward compatibility issues when migrating
from NFSv3 to NFSv4 on a platform where the server uses different uid/gid
mappings than the client.

Note also that this setting has been successfully tested against servers
that do not support numeric uids/gids at several Connectathon/Bakeathon
events at this point, and the fall back to using string names/groups has
been shown to work well in all those test cases.

5abcdba4fa iommu/amd: Put IOMMUv2 capable devices in pt_domain
If the device starts to use IOMMUv2 features the dma handles
need to stay valid. The only sane way to do this is to use a
identity mapping for the device and not translate it by the
iommu. This is implemented with this patch. Since this lifts
the device-isolation there is also a new kernel parameter
which allows to disable that feature.

dd3c4670d7 oprofile, s390: Add event interface to the System z hardware sampling module
With this patch the OProfile Basic Mode Sampling support for System z
is enhanced with a counter file system.  That way hardware sampling
can be configured using the user space tools with only little
modifications.

With the patch by default new cpu_types (s390/z10, s390/z196) are
returned in order to indicate that we are running a CPU which provides
the hardware sampling facility.  Existing user space tools will
complain about an unknown cpu type. In order to be compatible with
existing user space tools the `cpu_type' module parameter has been
added.  Setting the parameter to `timer' will force the module to
return `timer' as cpu_type.  The module will still try to use hardware
sampling if available and the hwsampling virtual filesystem will be
also be available for configuration.  So this has a different effect
than using the generic oprofile module parameter `timer=1'.

If the basic mode sampling is enabled on the machine and the
cpu_type=timer parameter is not used the kernel module will provide
the following virtual filesystem:

/dev/oprofile/0/enabled
/dev/oprofile/0/event
/dev/oprofile/0/count
/dev/oprofile/0/unit_mask
/dev/oprofile/0/kernel
/dev/oprofile/0/user

In the counter file system only the values of 'enabled', 'count',
'kernel', and 'user' are evaluated by the kernel module. Everything
else must contain fixed values.

The 'event' value only supports a single event - HWSAMPLING with value
0.

The 'count' value specifies the hardware sampling rate as it is passed
to the CPU measurement facility.

The 'kernel' and 'user' flags can now be used to filter for samples
when using hardware sampling.

Additionally also the following file will be created:
/dev/oprofile/timer/enabled

This will always be the inverted value of /dev/oprofile/0/enabled. 0
is not accepted without hardware sampling.

3f5eb8d568 USB: make the usbfs memory limit configurable
The 16-MB global limit on memory used by usbfs isn't suitable for all
people.  It's a reasonable default, but there are applications
(especially for SuperSpeed devices) that need a lot more.

This patch (as1498) creates a writable module parameter for usbcore to
control the global limit.  The default is still 16 MB, but users can
change it at runtime, even after usbcore has been loaded.  As a
special case, setting the value to 0 is treated the same as the hard
limit of 2047 MB.

bcb71abe7d iommu: Add option to group multi-function devices
The option iommu=group_mf indicates the that the iommu driver should
expose all functions of a multi-function PCI device as the same
iommu_device_group.  This is useful for disallowing individual functions
being exposed as independent devices to userspace as there are often
hidden dependencies.  Virtual functions are not affected by this option.

3df1cccdfb slab: introduce slab_max_order kernel parameter
Introduce new slab_max_order kernel parameter which is the equivalent of
slub_max_order.

For immediate purposes, allows users to override the heuristic that sets
the max order to 1 by default if they have more than 32MB of RAM.  This
may result in page allocation failures if there is substantial
fragmentation.

Another usecase would be to increase the max order for better
performance.

d3bf37955d [S390] kdump: Add size to elfcorehdr kernel parameter
Currently only the address of the pre-allocated ELF header is passed with
the elfcorehdr= kernel parameter. In order to reserve memory for the header
in the 2nd kernel also the size is required. Current kdump architecture
backends use different methods to do that, e.g. x86 uses the memmap= kernel
parameter. On s390 there is no easy way to transfer this information.
Therefore the elfcorehdr kernel parameter is extended to also pass the size.
This now can also be used as standard mechanism by all future kdump
architecture backends.

The syntax of the kernel parameter is extended as follows:

elfcorehdr=[size[KMG]@]offset[KMG]

This change is backward compatible because elfcorehdr=size is still allowed.

6f8d7022a8 PM / Hibernate: Add resumewait param to support MMC-like devices as resume file
Some devices like MMC are async detected very slow. For example,
drivers/mmc/host/sdhci.c launches a 200ms delayed work to detect
MMC partitions then add disk.

We have wait_for_device_probe() and scsi_complete_async_scans()
before calling swsusp_check(), but it is not enough to wait for MMC.

This patch adds resumewait kernel param just like rootwait so
that we have enough time to wait until MMC is ready. The difference is
that we wait for resume partition whereas rootwait waits for rootfs
partition (which may be on a different device).

This patch will make hibernation support many embedded products
without SCSI devices, but with devices like MMC.

Is caused by commit 3ae36655 ("x86-64: Rework vsyscall emulation and add

yet as UML relies on some rather fragile SIGSEGV semantics.

41750d31fc x86, x2apic: Enable the bios request for x2apic optout
On the platforms which are x2apic and interrupt-remapping
capable, Linux kernel is enabling x2apic even if the BIOS
doesn't. This is to take advantage of the features that x2apic
brings in.

Some of the OEM platforms are running into issues because of
this, as their bios is not x2apic aware. For example, this was
resulting in interrupt migration issues on one of the platforms.
Also if the BIOS SMI handling uses APIC interface to send SMI's,
then the BIOS need to be aware of x2apic mode that OS has
enabled.

On some of these platforms, BIOS doesn't have a HW mechanism to
turnoff the x2apic feature to prevent OS from enabling it.

To resolve this mess, recent changes to the VT-d2 specification:

 http://download.intel.com/technology/computing/vptech/Intel(r)_VT_for_Direct_IO.pdf

includes a mechanism that provides BIOS a way to request system
software to opt out of enabling x2apic mode.

Look at the x2apic optout flag in the DMAR tables before
enabling the x2apic mode in the platform. Also print a warning
that we have disabled x2apic based on the BIOS request.

Kernel boot parameter "intremap=no_x2apic_optout" can be used to
override the BIOS x2apic optout request.

3ae36655b9 x86-64: Rework vsyscall emulation and add vsyscall= parameter
There are three choices:

vsyscall=native: Vsyscalls are native code that issues the
corresponding syscalls.

vsyscall=emulate (default): Vsyscalls are emulated by instruction
fault traps, tested in the bad_area path.  The actual contents of
the vsyscall page is the same as the vsyscall=native case except
that it's marked NX.  This way programs that make assumptions about
what the code in the page does will not be confused when they read
that code.

vsyscall=none: Trying to execute a vsyscall will segfault.

dfb09f9b7a x86, amd: Avoid cache aliasing penalties on AMD family 15h
This patch provides performance tuning for the "Bulldozer" CPU. With its
shared instruction cache there is a chance of generating an excessive
number of cache cross-invalidates when running specific workloads on the
cores of a compute module.

This excessive amount of cross-invalidations can be observed if cache
lines backed by shared physical memory alias in bits [14:12] of their
virtual addresses, as those bits are used for the index generation.

This patch addresses the issue by clearing all the bits in the [14:12]
slice of the file mapping's virtual address at generation time, thus
forcing those bits the same for all mappings of a single shared library
across processes and, in doing so, avoids instruction cache aliases.

It also adds the command line option "align_va_addr=(32|64|on|off)" with
which virtual address alignment can be enabled for 32-bit or 64-bit x86
individually, or both, or be completely disabled.

This change leaves virtual region address allocation on other families
and/or vendors unaffected.

4302fbc8ec panic: panic=-1 for immediate reboot
When a kernel BUG or oops occurs, ChromeOS intends to panic and
immediately reboot, with stacktrace and other messages preserved in RAM
across reboot.

But the longer we delay, the more likely the user is to poweroff and
lose the info.

panic_timeout (seconds before rebooting) is set by panic= boot option or
sysctl or /proc/sys/kernel/panic; but 0 means wait forever, so at
present we have to delay at least 1 second.

Let a negative number mean reboot immediately (with the small cosmetic
benefit of suppressing that newline-less "Rebooting in %d seconds.."
message).

4996c02306 ACPI: introduce "acpi_rsdp=" parameter for kdump
There is a problem with putting the first kernel in EFI virtual mode,
it is that when the second kernel comes up it tries to initialize the
EFI again and once we have put EFI in virtual mode we can not really
do that.

Actually, EFI is not necessary for kdump, we can boot the second kernel
with "noefi" parameter, but the boot will mostly fail because 2nd kernel
cannot find RSDP.

In this situation, we introduced "acpi_rsdp=" kernel parameter, so that
kexec-tools can pass the "noefi acpi_rsdp=X" to the second kernel to
make kdump works. The physical address of the RSDP can be got from
sysfs(/sys/firmware/efi/systab).

21c13a4f7b usb-storage: redo incorrect reads
Some USB mass-storage devices have bugs that cause them not to handle
the first READ(10) command they receive correctly.  The Corsair
Padlock v2 returns completely bogus data for its first read (possibly
it returns the data in encrypted form even though the device is
supposed to be unlocked).  The Feiya SD/SDHC card reader fails to
complete the first READ(10) command after it is plugged in or after a
new card is inserted, returning a status code that indicates it thinks
the command was invalid, which prevents the kernel from retrying the
read.

Since the first read of a new device or a new medium is for the
partition sector, the kernel is unable to retrieve the device's
partition table.  Users have to manually issue an "hdparm -z" or
"blockdev --rereadpt" command before they can access the device.

This patch (as1470) works around the problem.  It adds a new quirk
flag, US_FL_INVALID_READ10, indicating that the first READ(10) should
always be retried immediately, as should any failing READ(10) commands
(provided the preceding READ(10) command succeeded, to avoid getting
stuck in a loop).  The patch also adds appropriate unusual_devs
entries containing the new flag.

6dd9a7c737 intel-iommu: Enable super page (2MiB, 1GiB, etc.) support
There are no externally-visible changes with this. In the loop in the
internal __domain_mapping() function, we simply detect if we are mapping:
  - size >= 2MiB, and
  - virtual address aligned to 2MiB, and
  - physical address aligned to 2MiB, and
  - on hardware that supports superpages.

(and likewise for larger superpages).

We automatically use a superpage for such mappings. We never have to
worry about *breaking* superpages, since we trust that we will always
*unmap* the same range that was mapped. So all we need to do is ensure
that dma_pte_clear_range() will also cope with superpages.

Adjust pfn_to_dma_pte() to take a superpage 'level' as an argument, so
it can return a PTE at the appropriate level rather than always
extending the page tables all the way down to level 1. Again, this is
simplified by the fact that we should never encounter existing small
pages when we're creating a mapping; any old mapping that used the same
virtual range will have been entirely removed and its obsolete page
tables freed.

Provide an 'intel_iommu=sp_off' argument on the command line as a
chicken bit. Not that it should ever be required.

==

The original commit seen in the iommu-2.6.git was Youquan's
implementation (and completion) of my own half-baked code which I'd
typed into an email. Followed by half a dozen subsequent 'fixes'.

I've taken the unusual step of rewriting history and collapsing the
original commits in order to keep the main history simpler, and make
life easier for the people who are going to have to backport this to
older kernels. And also so I can give it a more coherent commit comment
which (hopefully) gives a better explanation of what's going on.

The original sequence of commits leading to identical code was:

Youquan Song (3):

a2c8990aed memsw: remove noswapaccount kernel parameter
The noswapaccount parameter has been deprecated since 2.6.38 without any
complaints from users so we can remove it.  swapaccount=0|1 can be used
instead.

As we are removing the parameter we can also clean up swapaccount because
it doesn't have to accept an empty string anymore (to match noswapaccount)
and so we can push = into __setup macro rather than checking "=1" resp.
"=0" strings

de5397ad5b x86, cpu: Enable/disable Supervisor Mode Execution Protection
Enable/disable newly documented SMEP (Supervisor Mode Execution Protection) CPU
feature in kernel. CR4.SMEP (bit 20) is 0 at power-on. If the feature is
supported by CPU (X86_FEATURE_SMEP), enable SMEP by setting CR4.SMEP. New kernel
option nosmep disables the feature even if the feature is supported by CPU.

[ hpa: moved the call to setup_smep() until after the vendor-specific
  initialization; that ensures that CPUID features are unmasked.  We
  will still run it before we have userspace (never mind uncontrolled
  userspace). ]

7bf693951a console: allow to retain boot console via boot option keep_bootcon
On some architectures, the boot process involves de-registering the boot
console (early boot), initialize drivers and then re-register the console.

This mechanism introduces a window in which no printk can happen on the
console and messages are buffered and then printed once the new console is
available.

If a kernel crashes during this window, all it's left on the boot console
is "console [foo] enabled, bootconsole disabled" making debug of the crash
rather 'interesting'.

By adding "keep_bootcon" option, do not unregister the boot console, that
will allow to printk everything that is happening up to the crash.

The option is clearly meant only for debugging purposes as it introduces
lots of duplicated info printed on console, but will make bug report from
users easier as it doesn't require a kernel build just to figure out where
we crash.

fef2c9bc1b kernel/watchdog.c: allow hardlockup to panic by default
When a cpu is considered stuck, instead of limping along and just printing
a warning, it is sometimes preferred to just panic, let kdump capture the
vmcore and reboot.  This gets the machine back into a stable state quickly
while saving the info that got it into a stuck state to begin with.

Add a Kconfig option to allow users to set the hardlockup to panic
by default.  Also add in a 'nmi_watchdog=nopanic' to override this.

8d32a307e4 genirq: Provide forced interrupt threading
Add a commandline parameter "threadirqs" which forces all interrupts except
those marked IRQF_NO_THREAD to run threaded. That's mostly a debug option to
allow retrieving better debug data from crashing interrupt handlers. If
"threadirqs" is not enabled on the kernel command line, then there is no
impact in the interrupt hotpath.

Architecture code needs to select CONFIG_IRQ_FORCED_THREADING after
marking the interrupts which cant be threaded IRQF_NO_THREAD. All
interrupts which have IRQF_TIMER set are implict marked
IRQF_NO_THREAD. Also all PER_CPU interrupts are excluded.

Forced threading hard interrupts also forces all soft interrupt
handling into thread context.

When enabled it might slow down things a bit, but for debugging problems in
interrupt code it's a reasonable penalty as it does not immediately
crash and burn the machine when an interrupt handler is buggy.

Some test results on a Core2Duo machine:

f8313ef1f4 Input: i8042 - introduce 'notimeout' blacklist for Dell Vostro V13
i8042 controller present in Dell Vostro V13 errorneously signals spurious
timeouts.

Introduce i8042.notimeout parameter for ignoring i8042-signalled timeouts
and apply this quirk automatically for Dell Vostro V13, based on DMI match.

In addition to that, this machine also needs to be added to nomux blacklist.

The error message 'NMI watchdog failed to create perf event...'

5091faa449 sched: Add 'autogroup' scheduling feature: automated per session task groups
A recurring complaint from CFS users is that parallel kbuild has
a negative impact on desktop interactivity.  This patch
implements an idea from Linus, to automatically create task
groups.  Currently, only per session autogroups are implemented,
but the patch leaves the way open for enhancement.

Implementation: each task's signal struct contains an inherited
pointer to a refcounted autogroup struct containing a task group
pointer, the default for all tasks pointing to the
init_task_group.  When a task calls setsid(), a new task group
is created, the process is moved into the new task group, and a
reference to the preveious task group is dropped.  Child
processes inherit this task group thereafter, and increase it's
refcount.  When the last thread of a process exits, the
process's reference is dropped, such that when the last process
referencing an autogroup exits, the autogroup is destroyed.

At runqueue selection time, IFF a task has no cgroup assignment,
its current autogroup is used.

Autogroup bandwidth is controllable via setting it's nice level
through the proc filesystem:

  cat /proc/<pid>/autogroup

Displays the task's group and the group's nice level.

  echo <nice level> > /proc/<pid>/autogroup

Sets the task group's shares to the weight of nice <level> task.
Setting nice level is rate limited for !admin users due to the
abuse risk of task group locking.

The feature is enabled from boot by default if
CONFIG_SCHED_AUTOGROUP=y is selected, but can be disabled via
the boot option noautogroup, and can also be turned on/off on
the fly via:

  echo [01] > /proc/sys/kernel/sched_autogroup_enabled

... which will automatically move tasks to/from the root task group.

a42c390cfa cgroups: make swap accounting default behavior configurable
Swap accounting can be configured by CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR_SWAP
configuration option and then it is turned on by default.  There is a boot
option (noswapaccount) which can disable this feature.

This makes it hard for distributors to enable the configuration option as
this feature leads to a bigger memory consumption and this is a no-go for
general purpose distribution kernel.  On the other hand swap accounting
may be very usuful for some workloads.

This patch adds a new configuration option which controls the default
behavior (CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR_SWAP_ENABLED).  If the option is selected
then the feature is turned on by default.

It also adds a new boot parameter swapaccount[=1|0] which enhances the
original noswapaccount parameter semantic by means of enable/disable logic
(defaults to 1 if no value is provided to be still consistent with
noswapaccount).

The default behavior is unchanged (if CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR_SWAP is
enabled then CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR_SWAP_ENABLED is enabled as well)

e7f8567db9 resources: support allocating space within a region from the top down
Allocate space from the top of a region first, then work downward,
if an architecture desires this.

When we allocate space from a resource, we look for gaps between children
of the resource.  Previously, we always looked at gaps from the bottom up.
For example, given this:

    [mem 0xbff00000-0xf7ffffff] PCI Bus 0000:00
      [mem 0xbff00000-0xbfffffff] gap -- available
      [mem 0xc0000000-0xdfffffff] PCI Bus 0000:02
      [mem 0xe0000000-0xf7ffffff] gap -- available

we attempted to allocate from the [mem 0xbff00000-0xbfffffff] gap first,
then the [mem 0xe0000000-0xf7ffffff] gap.

With this patch an architecture can choose to allocate from the top gap
[mem 0xe0000000-0xf7ffffff] first.

We can't do this across the board because iomem_resource.end is initialized
to 0xffffffff_ffffffff on 64-bit architectures, and most machines can't
address the entire 64-bit physical address space.  Therefore, we only
allocate top-down if the arch requests it by clearing
"resource_alloc_from_bottom".

e52eec13cd SYSFS: Allow boot time switching between deprecated and modern sysfs layout
I have some systems which need legacy sysfs due to old tools that are
making assumptions that a directory can never be a symlink to another
directory, and it's a big hazzle to compile separate kernels for them.

This patch turns CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED into a run time option
that can be switched on/off the kernel command line. This way
the same binary can be used in both cases with just a option
on the command line.

The old CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2 option is still there to set
the default. I kept the weird name to not break existing
config files.

Also the compat code can be still completely disabled by undefining
CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_SWITCH -- just the optimizer takes
care of this now instead of lots of ifdefs. This makes the code
look nicer.

v2: This is an updated version on top of Kay's patch to only
handle the block devices. I tested it on my old systems
and that seems to work.

28eb5f274a PCI: PCIe: Ask BIOS for control of all native services at once
After commit 852972acff (ACPI: Disable
ASPM if the platform won't provide _OSC control for PCIe) control of
the PCIe Capability Structure is unconditionally requested by
acpi_pci_root_add(), which in principle may cause problems to
happen in two ways.  First, the BIOS may refuse to give control of
the PCIe Capability Structure if it is not asked for any of the
_OSC features depending on it at the same time.  Second, the BIOS may
assume that control of the _OSC features depending on the PCIe
Capability Structure will be requested in the future and may behave
incorrectly if that doesn't happen.  For this reason, control of
the PCIe Capability Structure should always be requested along with
control of any other _OSC features that may depend on it (ie. PCIe
native PME, PCIe native hot-plug, PCIe AER).

Rework the PCIe port driver so that (1) it checks which native PCIe
port services can be enabled, according to the BIOS, and (2) it
requests control of all these services simultaneously.  In
particular, this causes pcie_portdrv_probe() to fail if the BIOS
refuses to grant control of the PCIe Capability Structure, which
means that no native PCIe port services can be enabled for the PCIe
Root Complex the given port belongs to.  If that happens, ASPM is
disabled to avoid problems with mishandling it by the part of the
PCIe hierarchy for which control of the PCIe Capability Structure
has not been received.

Make it possible to override this behavior using 'pcie_ports=native'
(use the PCIe native services regardless of the BIOS response to the
control request), or 'pcie_ports=compat' (do not use the PCIe native
services at all).

Accordingly, rework the existing PCIe port service drivers so that
they don't request control of the services directly.

9863c90f68 x86, vmware: Remove deprecated VMI kernel support
With the recent innovations in CPU hardware acceleration technologies
from Intel and AMD, VMware ran a few experiments to compare these
techniques to guest paravirtualization technique on VMware's platform.
These hardware assisted virtualization techniques have outperformed the
performance benefits provided by VMI in most of the workloads. VMware
expects that these hardware features will be ubiquitous in a couple of
years, as a result, VMware has started a phased retirement of this
feature from the hypervisor.

Please note that VMI has always been an optimization and non-VMI kernels
still work fine on VMware's platform.
Latest versions of VMware's product which support VMI are,
Workstation 7.0 and VSphere 4.0 on ESX side, future maintainence
releases for these products will continue supporting VMI.

For more details about VMI retirement take a look at this,
http://blogs.vmware.com/guestosguide/2009/09/vmi-retirement.html

This feature removal was scheduled for 2.6.37 back in September 2009.

1dc7ce99b0 xen: pvhvm: rename xen_emul_unplug=ignore to =unnnecessary
It is not immediately clear what this option causes to become
ignored. The actual meaning is that it is not necessary to unplug the
emulated devices to safely use the PV ones, even if the platform does
not support the unplug protocol. (pressumably the user will only add
this option if they have ensured that their domain configuration is
safe).

I think xen_emul_unplug=unnecessary better captures this.

c7ff0d9c92 panic: keep blinking in spite of long spin timer mode
To keep panic_timeout accuracy when running under a hypervisor, the
current implementation only spins on long time (1 second) calls to mdelay.
 That brings a good effect, but the problem is the keyboard LEDs don't
blink at all on that situation.

This patch changes to call to panic_blink_enter() between every mdelay and
keeps blinking in spite of long spin timer mode.

The time to call to mdelay is now 100ms.  Even this change will keep
panic_timeout accuracy enough when running under a hypervisor.

7bd1c365fd x86/PCI: Add option to not assign BAR's if not already assigned
The Linux kernel assigns BARs that a BIOS did not assign, most likely
to handle broken BIOSes that didn't enumerate the devices correctly.
On UV the BIOS purposely doesn't assign I/O BARs for certain devices/
drivers we know don't use them (examples, LSI SAS, Qlogic FC, ...).
We purposely don't assign these I/O BARs because I/O Space is a very
limited resource.  There is only 64k of I/O Space, and in a PCIe
topology that space gets divided up into 4k chucks (this is due to
the fact that a pci-to-pci bridge's I/O decoder is aligned at 4k)...
Thus a system can have at most 16 cards with I/O BARs: (64k / 4k = 16)

SGI needs to scale to >16 devices with I/O BARs.  So by not assigning
I/O BARs on devices we know don't use them, we can do that (iff the
kernel doesn't go and assign these BARs that the BIOS purposely didn't
assign).

This patch will not assign a resource to a device BAR if that BAR was
not assigned by the BIOS, and the kernel cmdline option 'pci=nobar'
was specified.   This patch is closely modeled after the 'pci=norom'
option that currently exists in the tree.

72ad5d77fb ACPI / Sleep: Allow the NVS saving to be skipped during suspend to RAM
Commit 2a6b69765a
(ACPI: Store NVS state even when entering suspend to RAM) caused the
ACPI suspend code save the NVS area during suspend and restore it
during resume unconditionally, although it is known that some systems
need to use acpi_sleep=s4_nonvs for hibernation to work.  To allow
the affected systems to avoid saving and restoring the NVS area
during suspend to RAM and resume, introduce kernel command line
option acpi_sleep=nonvs and make acpi_sleep=s4_nonvs work as its
alias temporarily (add acpi_sleep=s4_nonvs to the feature removal
file).

b27759f880 PCI/PM: Do not use native PCIe PME by default
Commit c7f486567c
(PCI PM: PCIe PME root port service driver) causes the native PCIe
PME signaling to be used by default, if the BIOS allows the kernel to
control the standard configuration registers of PCIe root ports.
However, the native PCIe PME is coupled to the native PCIe hotplug
and calling pcie_pme_acpi_setup() makes some BIOSes expect that
the native PCIe hotplug will be used as well.  That, in turn, causes
problems to appear on systems where the PCIe hotplug driver is not
loaded.  The usual symptom, as reported by Jaroslav Kameník and
others, is that the ACPI GPE associated with PCIe hotplug keeps
firing continuously causing kacpid to take substantial percentage
of CPU time.

To work around this issue, change the default so that the native
PCIe PME signaling is only used if directly requested with the help
of the pcie_pme= command line switch.

Fixes https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15924 , which is
a listed regression from 2.6.33.

4fe1da4ebc echi-dbgp: Add kernel debugger support for the usb debug port
This patch adds the capability to use the usb debug port with the
kernel debugger.  It is also still possible to use this functionality
with or without the earlyprintk=dbgpX.  It is possible to use the
kgdbwait boot argument to debug very early in the kernel start up code.

There are two ways to use this driver extension with a kernel boot argument.

1) kgdbdbgp=#   -- Where # is the number of the usb debug controller

   You must use sysrq-g to break into the kernel debugger on another
   connection type other than the dbgp.

2) kgdbdbgp=#debugControlNum#,#Seconds#

   In this mode, the usb debug port is polled every #Seconds# for
   character input.  It is possible to use gdb or press control-c to
   break into the kernel debugger.

From the implementation perspective there are 3 high level changes.

1) Allow variable retries for the the hardware via dbgp_bulk_read().

   The amount of retries for the dbgp_bulk_read() needed to be
   variable instead of fixed.  We do not want to poll at all when the
   kernel is operating in interrupt driven mode.  The polling only
   occurs if the kernel was booted when specifying some number of
   seconds via the kgdbdbgp boot argument (IE kgdbdbgp=0,1).  In this
   case the loop count is reduced to 1 so as introduce the smallest
   amount of latency as possible.

2) Save the bulk IN endpoint address for use by the kgdb code.

3) The addition of the kgdb interface code.

   This consisted of adding in a character read function for the dbgp
   as well as a polling thread to allow the dbgp to interrupt the
   kernel execution.  The rest is the typical kgdb I/O api.

ada64e4c98 kgdboc,keyboard: Keyboard driver for kdb with kgdb
This patch adds in the kdb PS/2 keyboard driver.  This was mostly a
direct port from the original kdb where I cleaned up the code against
checkpatch.pl and added the glue to stitch it into kgdb.

This patch also enables early kdb debug via kgdbwait and the keyboard.

All the access to configure kdb using either a serial console or the
keyboard is done via kgdboc.

If you want to use only the keyboard and want to break in early you
would add to your kernel command arguments:

    kgdboc=kbd kgdbwait

If you wanted serial and or the keyboard access you could use:

    kgdboc=kbd,ttyS0

You can also configure kgdboc as a kernel module or at run time with
the sysfs where you can activate and deactivate kgdb.

Turn it on:
    echo kbd,ttyS0 > /sys/module/kgdboc/parameters/kgdboc

Turn it off:
    echo "" > /sys/module/kgdboc/parameters/kgdboc

a08f82d080 ACPI, APEI, Error Record Serialization Table (ERST) support
ERST is a way provided by APEI to save and retrieve hardware error
record to and from some simple persistent storage (such as flash).

The Linux kernel support implementation is quite simple and workable
in NMI context. So it can be used to save hardware error record into
flash in hardware error exception or NMI handler, where other more
complex persistent storage such as disk is not usable. After saving
hardware error records via ERST in hardware error exception or NMI
handler, the error records can be retrieved and logged into disk or
network after a clean reboot.

For more information about ERST, please refer to ACPI Specification
version 4.0, section 17.4.

58687acba5 lockup_detector: Combine nmi_watchdog and softlockup detector
The new nmi_watchdog (which uses the perf event subsystem) is very
similar in structure to the softlockup detector.  Using Ingo's
suggestion, I combined the two functionalities into one file:
kernel/watchdog.c.

Now both the nmi_watchdog (or hardlockup detector) and softlockup
detector sit on top of the perf event subsystem, which is run every
60 seconds or so to see if there are any lockups.

To detect hardlockups, cpus not responding to interrupts, I
implemented an hrtimer that runs 5 times for every perf event
overflow event.  If that stops counting on a cpu, then the cpu is
most likely in trouble.

To detect softlockups, tasks not yielding to the scheduler, I used the
previous kthread idea that now gets kicked every time the hrtimer fires.
If the kthread isn't being scheduled neither is anyone else and the
warning is printed to the console.

I tested this on x86_64 and both the softlockup and hardlockup paths
work.

V2:
- cleaned up the Kconfig and softlockup combination
- surrounded hardlockup cases with #ifdef CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS_NMI
- seperated out the softlockup case from perf event subsystem
- re-arranged the enabling/disabling nmi watchdog from proc space
- added cpumasks for hardlockup failure cases
- removed fallback to soft events if no PMU exists for hard events

V3:
- comment cleanups
- drop support for older softlockup code
- per_cpu cleanups
- completely remove software clock base hardlockup detector
- use per_cpu masking on hard/soft lockup detection
- #ifdef cleanups
- rename config option NMI_WATCHDOG to LOCKUP_DETECTOR
- documentation additions

V4:
- documentation fixes
- convert per_cpu to __get_cpu_var
- powerpc compile fixes

V5:
- split apart warn flags for hard and soft lockups

TODO:
- figure out how to make an arch-agnostic clock2cycles call

cecbca96da tracing: Dump either the oops's cpu source or all cpus buffers
The ftrace_dump_on_oops kernel parameter, sysctl and sysrq let one
dump every cpu buffers when an oops or panic happens.

It's nice when you have few cpus but it may take ages if have many,
plus you miss the real origin of the problem in all the cpu traces.

Sometimes, all you need is to dump the cpu buffer that triggered the
opps, most of the time it is our main interest.

This patch modifies ftrace_dump_on_oops to handle this choice.

The ftrace_dump_on_oops kernel parameter, when it comes alone, has
the same behaviour than before. But ftrace_dump_on_oops=orig_cpu
will only dump the buffer of the cpu that oops'ed.

Similarly, sysctl kernel.ftrace_dump_on_oops=1 and
echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_dump_on_oops keep their previous
behaviour. But setting 2 jumps into cpu origin dump mode.

v2: Fix double setup
v3: Fix spelling issues reported by Randy Dunlap
v4: Also update __ftrace_dump in the selftests

3b1da4c5d1 ACPI: processor: remove early _PDC optin quirks
Now that we check for physically present processors before blindly
evaluating _PDC, we no longer need to maintain a DMI opt-in table
nor a kernel param.

68ca406930 ACPI: delete the "acpi=ht" boot option
acpi=ht was important in 2003 -- before ACPI was
universally deployed and enabled by default in
the major Linux distributions.

At that time, there were a fair number of people who
or chose to, or needed to, run with acpi=off,
yet also wanted access to Hyper-threading.

Today we find that many invocations of "acpi=ht"
are accidental, and thus is it possible that it
is doing more harm than good.

In 2.6.34, we warn on invocation of acpi=ht.
In 2.6.35, we delete the boot option.
