726abbc795 viafb: refresh rate bug collection
This patch fixes multiple issues with the handling of refresh rates
especially for multi-display setups. If you experienced problems
with wrong refresh rates this patch might fix them.

e4fcaeff4f viafb: split pll configs up
This patch splits the pll configs up on pll versions. This allows
easy adding of other known good pll values. Additionally it made it
possible to remove invalid configurations resulting in better
behaviour for such cases. The resulting clocks are no longer stored
resulting in some computing overhead on each mode change.

fd3cc69848 viafb: remove duplicated clock storage
The clocks can be easily recalculated by the timing and refresh value.
This brings us one step closer to removing VIAs modetable and use
generic ones and being easier extensible.

97597a3977 viafb: always return the best possible clock
Before this patch only clocks that perfectly match were used and if
none existed this was not handled properly. This patch changes this
to always use the closest clock supported. This should behave like
before for clocks that have a perfect match but be much saner for
clocks which are slightly off.

f5b1c4b3b6 viafb: remove duplicated clock information
This patch removes the direct lookup table for resolution+refresh and
pixclock by calculating this information from the mode table. Removes a
lot of dupllication and error potential by just doing a little more
calculations on each mode change.

bf5ea02d90 viafb: factor lcd scaling parameters out
These parameters are the same for all currently known VIA IGPs so it
does not make any sense to store them with IGP specific data. This
saves a few bytes and helps a bit in dicovering the real differences.

dbf85f2326 viafb: kill lcd_panel_id
This patch removes all internal uses of another mostly artificial
value. It does duplicate the information of the maximum resolution and
it is not flexible as only a few resolutions exist. Hence it is better
to remove it and clean the mess up.

8d1dc20e8d Revert "TPM: Long default timeout fix"
This reverts commit c4ff4b829e.

Ted Ts'o reports:

 "TPM is working for me so I can log into employer's network in 2.6.37.
  It broke when I tried 2.6.38-rc6, with the following relevant lines
  from my dmesg:

  [   11.081627] tpm_tis 00:0b: 1.2 TPM (device-id 0x0, rev-id 78)
  [   25.734114] tpm_tis 00:0b: Operation Timed out
  [   78.040949] tpm_tis 00:0b: Operation Timed out

  This caused me to get suspicious, especially since the _other_ TPM
  commit in 2.6.38 had already been reverted, so I tried reverting
  commit c4ff4b829e: "TPM: Long default timeout fix".  With this commit
  reverted, my TPM on my Lenovo T410 is once again working."

af06216a8e ACPI: Fix build for CONFIG_NET unset
Several ACPI drivers fail to build if CONFIG_NET is unset, because
they refer to things depending on CONFIG_THERMAL that in turn depends
on CONFIG_NET.  However, CONFIG_THERMAL doesn't really need to depend
on CONFIG_NET, because the only part of it requiring CONFIG_NET is
the netlink interface in thermal_sys.c.

Put the netlink interface in thermal_sys.c under #ifdef CONFIG_NET
and remove the dependency of CONFIG_THERMAL on CONFIG_NET from
drivers/thermal/Kconfig.

fbd7184485 mm: <asm-generic/pgtable.h> must include <linux/mm_types.h>
Commit e2cda32264 ("thp: add pmd mangling generic functions") replaced
some macros in <asm-generic/pgtable.h> with inline functions.

If the functions are to be defined (not all architectures need them)
then struct vm_area_struct must be defined first.  So include
<linux/mm_types.h>.

Fixes a build failure seen in Debian:

299c56966a x86: Use u32 instead of long to set reset vector back to 0
A customer of ours, complained that when setting the reset
vector back to 0, it trashed other data and hung their box.
They noticed when only 4 bytes were set to 0 instead of 8,
everything worked correctly.

Mathew pointed out:

 |
 | We're supposed to be resetting trampoline_phys_low and
 | trampoline_phys_high here, which are two 16-bit values.
 | Writing 64 bits is definitely going to overwrite space
 | that we're not supposed to be touching.
 |

So limit the area modified to u32.

My first guess would have been stale TLB entries laying around that a new
bo then accidentally inherits.  That doesn't make a great deal of sense
however, as when we mapped the pages for the new bo the TLBs would've
gotten flushed anyway.

3a142a0672 clockevents: Prevent oneshot mode when broadcast device is periodic
When the per cpu timer is marked CLOCK_EVT_FEAT_C3STOP, then we only
can switch into oneshot mode, when the backup broadcast device
supports oneshot mode as well. Otherwise we would try to switch the
broadcast device into an unsupported mode unconditionally. This went
unnoticed so far as the current available broadcast devices support
oneshot mode. Seth unearthed this problem while debugging and working
around an hpet related BIOS wreckage.

Add the necessary check to tick_is_oneshot_available().

7137c6bd45 aio: fix race between io_destroy() and io_submit()
A race can occur when io_submit() races with io_destroy():

 CPU1						CPU2
io_submit()
  do_io_submit()
    ...
    ctx = lookup_ioctx(ctx_id);
						io_destroy()
    Now do_io_submit() holds the last reference to ctx.
    ...
    queue new AIO
    put_ioctx(ctx) - frees ctx with active AIOs

We solve this issue by checking whether ctx is being destroyed in AIO
submission path after adding new AIO to ctx.  Then we are guaranteed that
either io_destroy() waits for new AIO or we see that ctx is being
destroyed and bail out.

this patch adjusts difference of them.

The efect of this bug was that most of month will be operated on as the
next month by the hardware (When in Jan it maybe even worse).  For
example, if in May, software wrote 4 to the hardware, which handled it as
April.  Then the logic would be different between software and hardware,
which would cause weird things to happen.

294f6cf486 ldm: corrupted partition table can cause kernel oops
The kernel automatically evaluates partition tables of storage devices.
The code for evaluating LDM partitions (in fs/partitions/ldm.c) contains
a bug that causes a kernel oops on certain corrupted LDM partitions.  A
kernel subsystem seems to crash, because, after the oops, the kernel no
longer recognizes newly connected storage devices.

The patch changes ldm_parse_vmdb() to Validate the value of vblk_size.

2876592f23 mm: vmscan: stop reclaim/compaction earlier due to insufficient progress if !__GFP_REPEAT
should_continue_reclaim() for reclaim/compaction allows scanning to
continue even if pages are not being reclaimed until the full list is
scanned.  In terms of allocation success, this makes sense but potentially
it introduces unwanted latency for high-order allocations such as
transparent hugepages and network jumbo frames that would prefer to fail
the allocation attempt and fallback to order-0 pages.  Worse, there is a
potential that the full LRU scan will clear all the young bits, distort
page aging information and potentially push pages into swap that would
have otherwise remained resident.

This patch will stop reclaim/compaction if no pages were reclaimed in the
last SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX pages that were considered.  For allocations such as
hugetlbfs that use __GFP_REPEAT and have fewer fallback options, the full
LRU list may still be scanned.

Order-0 allocation should not be affected because RECLAIM_MODE_COMPACTION
is not set so the following avoids the gfp_mask being examined:

        if (!(sc->reclaim_mode & RECLAIM_MODE_COMPACTION))
                return false;

A tool was developed based on ftrace that tracked the latency of
high-order allocations while transparent hugepage support was enabled and
three benchmarks were run.  The "fix-infinite" figures are 2.6.38-rc4 with
Johannes's patch "vmscan: fix zone shrinking exit when scan work is done"
applied.

Mean time for order-1 allocations is reduced.  order-2 looks increased but
with so few allocations, it's not particularly significant.  THP mean
allocation latency is also reduced.  That said, allocation time varies so
significantly that the reductions are within noise.

Max allocation time is reduced by a significant amount for low-order
allocations but reduced for THP allocations which presumably are now
breaking before reclaim has done enough work.

Again, mean time for order-1 allocations is reduced while order-2
allocations are too few to draw conclusions from.  The mean time for THP
allocations is also slightly reduced albeit the reductions are within
varianes.

Once again, our maximum allocation time is significantly reduced for
low-order allocations and slightly increased for THP allocations.

This benchmark creates one thread per CPU which references an amount of
anonymous memory 1.5 times the size of physical RAM.  This pounds swap
quite heavily and is intended to exercise THP a bit.

Mean allocation time for order-1 is reduced as before.  It's also reduced
for THP allocations but the variations here are pretty massive due to
swap.  As before, maximum allocation times are significantly reduced.

Overall, the patch reduces the mean and maximum allocation latencies for
the smaller high-order allocations.  This was with Slab configured so it
would be expected to be more significant with Slub which uses these size
allocations more aggressively.

The mean allocation times for THP allocations are also slightly reduced.
The maximum latency was slightly increased as predicted by the comments
due to reclaim/compaction breaking early.  However, workloads care more
about the latency of lower-order allocations than THP so it's an
acceptable trade-off.

ac3c830419 drivers/nfc/pn544.c: add missing regulator
The regulator framework is used for power management.  The regulators are
only named in the driver code, the actual control stuff is in the board
file for each architecture or use case.

The PN544 chip has three regulators that can be controlled or not -
depending on the architecture where the chip is being used.  So some of
the regulators may not be controllable.  In our current case the third
regulator, which was missing from the code, went unnoticed because we
didn't need to control it.  To be as general as possible - in this respect
- the driver needs to list all regulators.  Then the board file can be
used to actually set the usage.

fba99fa38b swiotlb: fix wrong panic
swiotlb's map_page wrongly calls panic() when it can't find a buffer fit
for device's dma mask.  It should return an error instead.

Devices with an odd dma mask (i.e.  under 4G) like b44 network card hit
this bug (the system crashes):

   http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=129648943830106&w=2

If swiotlb returns an error, b44 driver can use the own bouncing
mechanism.
