Some HP machines with Realtek codecs have mute LEDs connected to VREF pins.
However when these go into runtime suspend, the pin powers down and its
pin control is disabled, thus disabling the LED too.
This patch fixes that issue by making sure that the pin stays in D0 with
correct pin control.

Originally snd_hrtimer_callback() used iprtd->period_time for
some jiffies based estimation to determine the right moment
to call snd_pcm_period_elapsed(). As timer drifts may well be a
problem, this was changed in commit b4e82b5b78 to be based
on buffer transmission progress, using iprtd->offset and
runtime->buffer_size to calculate the amount of data since last
period had elapsed.
Unfortunately, iprtd->offset counts in bytes, while
runtime->buffer_size counts frames, so adding these to find some
delta is like comparing apples and oranges, and eventually results
in negative delta values every now and then. This is no big harm,
because it simply causes snd_pcm_period_elapsed() being called
more often than necessary, as negative delta is taken for a
large unsigned value by implicit conversion rule.
Nonetheless, the calculation is broken, so one would replace
the runtime->buffer_size by its equivalent in bytes.
But then, there are chances snd_pcm_period_elapsed() is called
late, because calculating the moment for the elapsed period
into delta is based against the iprtd->last_offset, which is not
necessarily the first byte of the period in question, but some
random byte which the FIQ handler left us with in r8/r9 by
accident. Again, negative impact is low, as there are plenty of
periods already prefilled with data, and snd_pcm_period_elapsed()
will probably be called latest when the following period is
reached. However, the calculation is conceptually broken, and we
are best off removing the clever stuff altogether.
snd_pcm_period_elapsed() is now simply called once everytime
snd_hrtimer_callback() is run, which may not be most accurate,
but at least this way we are quite sure we dont miss an end of
period. There is not much extra effort wasted by superfluous
calls to snd_pcm_period_elapsed(), as the timer frequency
closely matches the period size anyway.

[ Tweaked it so that MAXSMP simply sets the maximum of the normal range. ]
Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
The current range for SMP configs is 2 - 512 CPUs, or a full
4096 in the case of MAXSMP. There are machines that have 1024
CPUs in them today and configuring a kernel for that means you
are forced to set MAXSMP. This adds additional unnecessary
overhead. While that overhead might be considered tiny for
large machines, it isn't necessarily so if you are building a
kernel that runs across a wide variety of machines.
To cover the range of more common machines today, we allow
NR_CPUS to be up to 4096 when CPUMASK_OFFSTACK is enabled.

Currently show_cpuinfo_core() displays cpu core information only if
the number of threads per a whole cores is 2 or larger.
However, this condition doesn't care about the number of
sockets. For example, this condition doesn't hold on systems
with two logical cpus consisting of two sockets and a single
core on each socket - yet the topology information would be
interesting to see in that case as well.
I don't know whether or not there are processors in real world
by which such configurations are possible, but at least on
vitual machine environments, such configuration can occur,
typically when no explicit SMP information is provided in
advance.
For example, on qemu/KVM, SMP information is specified via -smp
command-line option, more specifically, its syntax is:
-smp n[,cores=cores][,threads=threads][,sockets=sockets][,maxcpus=maxcpus]
If this is not specified, qemu tells configuration with
n-sockets, 1-core and 1-thread to the guest machine, on which
guest, MP information is not displayed in /proc/cpuinfo.
I saw this situation on VMWare guest environment, too.
To fix this issue, this patch simply removes the condition
because this information is useful even if there's only 1
thread.

__get_cpu_var() is used for multiple purposes in the kernel source. One of them is
address calculation via the form &__get_cpu_var(x). This calculates the address for
the instance of the percpu variable of the current processor based on an offset.
Other use cases are for storing and retrieving data from the current processors percpu area.
__get_cpu_var() can be used as an lvalue when writing data or on the right side of an assignment.
__get_cpu_var() is defined as :
#define __get_cpu_var(var) (*this_cpu_ptr(&(var)))
__get_cpu_var() always only does an address determination. However, store and retrieve operations
could use a segment prefix (or global register on other platforms) to avoid the address calculation.
this_cpu_write() and this_cpu_read() can directly take an offset into a percpu area and use
optimized assembly code to read and write per cpu variables.
This patch converts __get_cpu_var into either an explicit address calculation using this_cpu_ptr()
or into a use of this_cpu operations that use the offset. Thereby address calcualtions are avoided
and less registers are used when code is generated.
At the end of the patchset all uses of __get_cpu_var have been removed so the macro is removed too.
The patchset includes passes over all arches as well. Once these operations are used throughout then
specialized macros can be defined in non -x86 arches as well in order to optimize per cpu access by
f.e. using a global register that may be set to the per cpu base.
Transformations done to __get_cpu_var()
1. Determine the address of the percpu instance of the current processor.
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
int *x = &__get_cpu_var(y);
Converts to
int *x = this_cpu_ptr(&y);
2. Same as #1 but this time an array structure is involved.
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y[20]);
int *x = __get_cpu_var(y);
Converts to
int *x = this_cpu_ptr(y);
3. Retrieve the content of the current processors instance of a per cpu variable.
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, u);
int x = __get_cpu_var(y)
Converts to
int x = __this_cpu_read(y);
4. Retrieve the content of a percpu struct
DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct mystruct, y);
struct mystruct x = __get_cpu_var(y);
Converts to
memcpy(this_cpu_ptr(&x), y, sizeof(x));
5. Assignment to a per cpu variable
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y)
__get_cpu_var(y) = x;
Converts to
this_cpu_write(y, x);
6. Increment/Decrement etc of a per cpu variable
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
__get_cpu_var(y)++
