55f3952d45 libata: kill the infamous abnormal status message
The infamous abnormal status message triggers on not so abnormal cases
including empty port and even when it's being triggered on actual
errors the info it provides is redundant and out of context - higher
level functions will print the info in better safe later anyway.

Also, by being triggered all the time, it leads people to think that
the abnormality is somehow related to all ATA and system problems
they're experiencing and gives owners of healthy systems unfounded
doubts about the integrity of the universe.  Make it a DPRINTK and
save the universe.

48d8d7ee5d x86_64 irq: use mask/unmask and proper locking in fixup_irqs()
Force irq migration path during cpu offline, is not using proper locks and
irq_chip mask/unmask routines.  This will result in some races(especially
the device generating the interrupt can see some inconsistent state,
resulting in issues like stuck irq,..).

Appended patch fixes the issue by taking proper lock and encapsulating
irq_chip set_affinity() with a mask() before and an unmask() after.

This fixes a MSI irq stuck issue reported by Darrick Wong.

There are several more general bugs in this area(irq migration in the
process context). For example,

 1. Possibility of missing edge triggered irq.
 2. Reliable method of migrating level triggered irq in the process context.

We plan to look and close these in the near future.

Eric says:
	In addition even with the fix from Suresh there is still at least one
	nasty hardware race in fixup_irqs().   However we exercise that code
	path rarely enough that we are unlikely to hit it in the real world,
	and that race seems to have existed since the code was merged.  And a
	fix for that is not coming soon as it is an open investigation area
	if we can fix irq migration to work outside of irq context or if
	we have to rework the requirements imposed by the generic cpu hotplug
	and layer on fixup_irqs().  So this may come up again.

ae62fbb5f1 [POWERPC] Fix subtle FP state corruption bug in signal return on SMP
This fixes a bug which can cause corruption of the floating-point state
on return from a signal handler.  If we have a signal handler that has
used the floating-point registers, and it happens to context-switch to
another task while copying the interrupted floating-point state from the
user stack into the thread struct (e.g. because of a page fault, or
because it gets preempted), the context switch code will think that the
FP registers contain valid FP state that needs to be copied into the
thread_struct, and will thus overwrite the values that the signal return
code has put into the thread_struct.

This can occur because we clear the MSR bits that indicate the presence
of valid FP state after copying the state into the thread_struct.  To fix
this we just move the clearing of the MSR bits to before the copy.  A
similar potential problem also occurs with the Altivec state, and this
fixes that in the same way.

74609f4536 [POWERPC] Fix VDSO gettimeofday() when called with NULL struct timeval
Consider the prototype for gettimeofday():
	int gettimofday(struct timeval *tv, struct timezone *tz);

Although it is valid to call with /either/ tv or tz being NULL, and
the C version of sys_gettimeofday() supports this, the current version
of gettimeofday() in the VDSO will SEGV if called with a NULL tv.

This adds a check for tv being NULL so that it doesn't SEGV.

c8cbee61c9 ACPI: preserve the ebx value in acpi_copy_wakeup_routine
Register %ebx serves as the "global offset table base register" for
position-independent code.  For absolute code, %ebx serves as a local
register and has no specified role in the function calling sequence.  In
either case, a function must preserve the register value for the caller.

acpi_copy_wakeup_routine overrides %ebx without saving it, this may corrupt
the called data.

Kevin found that most time the value of Sx is saved in %esi, however
sometimes compiler also uses %ebx.  When this happens, suspends fails since
sleep value in ebx is changed by acpi_copy_wakeup_routine.

The same funtion in X86_64 doesn't have this problem.

4f84e4be53 x86_64: fix misplaced `continue' in mce.c
Background:
  When a userspace application wants to know about machine check events, it
  opens /dev/mcelog and does a read(). Usually, we found that this interface
  works well, but in some cases, when the system was taking large numbers of
  machine check exceptions, the read() would hang. The system would output a
  soft-lockup warning, and the daemon reading from /dev/mcelog would suck up
  as much of a single CPU as it could spinning in system space.

Description:
  This patch fixes this bug. In particular, there was a "continue" inside a
  timeout loop that presumably was intended to break out of the outer loop,
  but instead caused the inner loop to continue. This patch also makes the
  condition for the break-out a little more evident by changing a
  !time_before to a time_after_eq.

Result:
  The read() no longer hangs in this test case.

Testing:
  On my system, I could replicate the bug with the following command:
    # for i in `seq 15000`; do ./inject_sbe.sh; done
  where inject_sbe.sh contains commands to inject a single-bit error into the
  next memory write transaction.

Patch:
  This patch is against git f1518a088b.

      cleanup the Type regular expression declarations
      fix up block counting
      end of line counts as a space for ++ and --
      do { needs the same checks as if, for et al
      handle "const foo * const a" as a valid type
      add spacing checks following ;
      complete whitespace lines should trip trailing whitespace check
      else is also a block control structure
      badly formatted else can trip function declaration
      detect and report trailing statements after else
      types need to be terminated by a boundary
      multiline macros defining values should be surrounded by parentheses
      soften the wording of the Signed-off-by: warnings
