The current naming of rfkill_state causes a lot of confusion: not only the
"kill" in rfkill suggests negative logic, but also the fact that rfkill cannot
turn anything on (it can just force something off or stop forcing something
off) is often forgotten.
Rename RFKILL_STATE_OFF to RFKILL_STATE_SOFT_BLOCKED (transmitter is blocked
and will not operate; state can be changed by a toggle_radio request), and
RFKILL_STATE_ON to RFKILL_STATE_UNBLOCKED (transmitter is not blocked, and may
operate).
Also, add a new third state, RFKILL_STATE_HARD_BLOCKED (transmitter is blocked
and will not operate; state cannot be changed through a toggle_radio request),
which is used by drivers to indicate a wireless transmiter was blocked by a
hardware rfkill line that accepts no overrides.
Keep the old names as #defines, but document them as deprecated. This way,
drivers can be converted to the new names *and* verified to actually use rfkill
correctly one by one.

This patch re-institutes the ability to build rcutorture directly into
the Linux kernel. The reason that this capability was removed was that
this could result in your kernel being pretty much useless, as rcutorture
would be running starting from early boot. This problem has been avoided
by (1) making rcutorture run only three seconds of every six by default,
(2) adding a CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST_RUNNABLE that permits rcutorture
to be quiesced at boot time, and (3) adding a sysctl in /proc named
/proc/sys/kernel/rcutorture_runnable that permits rcutorture to be
quiesced and unquiesced when built into the kernel.
Please note that this /proc file is -not- available when rcutorture
is built as a module. Please also note that to get the earlier
take-no-prisoners behavior, you must use the boot command line to set
rcutorture's "stutter" parameter to zero.
The rcutorture quiescing mechanism is currently quite crude: loops
in each rcutorture process that poll a global variable once per tick.
Suggestions for improvement are welcome. The default action will
be to reduce the polling rate to a few times per second.

This patch takes a step towards making rcutorture more brutal by allowing
the test to be automatically periodically paused, with the default being
to run the test for five seconds then pause for five seconds and repeat.
This behavior can be controlled using a new "stutter" module parameter, so
that "stutter=0" gives the old default behavior of running continuously.
Starting and stopping rcutorture more heavily stresses RCU's interaction
with the scheduler, as well as exercising more paths through the
grace-period detection code.
Note that the default to "shuffle_interval" has also been adjusted from
5 seconds to 3 seconds to provide varying overlap with the "stutter"
interval.
I am still unable to provoke the failures that Alexey has been seeing,
even with this patch, but will be doing a few additional things to beef
up rcutorture.

ACPI PM: Add possibility to change suspend sequence
There are some systems out there that don't work correctly with
our current suspend/hibernation code ordering. Provide a workaround
for these systems allowing them to pass 'acpi_sleep=old_ordering' in
the kernel command line so that it will use the pre-ACPI 2.0 ("old")
suspend code ordering.
Unfortunately, this requires us to add a platform hook to the
resuming of devices for recovering the platform in case one of the
device drivers' .suspend() routines returns error code. Namely,
ACPI 1.0 specifies that _PTS should be called before suspending
devices, but _WAK still should be called before resuming them in
order to undo the changes made by _PTS. However, if there is an
error during suspending devices, they are automatically resumed
without returning control to the PM core, so the _WAK has to be
called from within device_resume() in that cases.
The patch also reorders and refactors the ACPI suspend/hibernation
code to avoid duplication as far as reasonably possible.

Contention for scarce PCI memory resources has been growing
due to an increasing number of PCI slots in large multi-node
systems. The kernel currently attempts by default to
allocate memory for all PCI expansion ROMs so there has
also been an increasing number of PCI memory allocation
failures seen on these systems. This occurs because the
BIOS either (1) provides insufficient PCI memory resource
for all the expansion ROMs or (2) provides adequate PCI
memory resource for expansion ROMs but provides the
space in kernel unexpected BIOS assigned P2P non-prefetch
windows.
The resulting PCI memory allocation failures may be benign
when related to memory requests for expansion ROMs themselves
but in some cases they can occur when attempting to allocate
space for more critical BARs. This can happen when a successful
expansion ROM allocation request consumes memory resource
that was intended for a non-ROM BAR. We have seen this
happen during PCI hotplug of an adapter that contains a
P2P bridge where successful memory allocation for an
expansion ROM BAR on device behind the bridge consumed
memory that was intended for a non-ROM BAR on the P2P bridge.
In all cases the allocation failure messages can be very
confusing for users.
This patch provides a new 'pci=norom' kernel boot parameter
that can be used to disable the default PCI expansion ROM memory
resource allocation. This provides a way to avoid the above
described issues on systems that do not contain PCI devices
for which drivers or user-level applications depend on the
default PCI expansion ROM memory resource allocation behavior.

Provide documentation of the kernel-doc documentation conventions oriented
to kernel hackers.
Since I figure that there will be more people reading this
kernel-doc-nano-HOWTO.txt file who are kernel developers focused on the
rest of the kernel, than there will be readers of this file who are
documentation developers extracting that embedded kernel-doc
documentation, I have taken the liberty of making the new section added
here:
How to format kernel-doc comments
the first section of the kernel-doc-nano-HOWTO.txt file.
This first section is intended to introduce, motivate and provide basic
usage of the kernel-doc mechanism for kernel hackers developing other
portions of the kernel.

I can't think of any valid reason for ext4 to not use barriers when

Fuse allocates a separate bdi for each filesystem, and registers them
in sysfs with "MAJOR:MINOR" of sb->s_dev (st_dev). This works fine for
anon devices normally used by fuse, but can conflict with an already
registered BDI for "fuseblk" filesystems, where sb->s_dev represents a
real block device. In particularl this happens if a non-partitioned
device is being mounted.
Fix by registering with a different name for "fuseblk" filesystems.

Add a "follow" selection for fail_over_mac. This option
causes the MAC address to move from slave to slave as the active
slave changes. This is in addition to the existing fail_over_mac option
that causes the bond's MAC address to change during failover.
This new option is useful for devices that cannot tolerate
multiple ports using the same MAC address simultaneously, either
because it confuses them or incurs a performance penalty (as is the
case with some LPAR-aware multiport devices). Because the MAC of the
bond itself does not change, the "follow" option is slightly more
reliable during failover and doesn't change the MAC of the bond during
operation.
This patch requires a previous ARP monitor change to properly
handle RTNL during failovers.

- Add the name of the call used to execute each operation ... and
point out that there are mismatches, where functions execute
different protocol operations than their names specify.
The most confusing examples are that "Read Byte" isn't executed by
i2c_smbus_read_byte(), and that "Write Byte" isn't executed by
i2c_smbus_write_byte(). When coding, that's not as bad as it may

The extended crashkernel syntax is a little confusing in the way it handles
ranges. eg:
crashkernel=512M-2G:64M,2G-:128M
Means if the machine has between 512M and 2G of memory the crash region should
be 64M, and if the machine has 2G of memory the region should be 64M. Only if
the machine has more than 2G memory will 128M be allocated.
Although that semantic is correct, it is somewhat baffling. Instead I propose
that the end of the range means the first address past the end of the range,
ie: 512M up to but not including 2G.

We can see an ever repeating problem pattern with objects of any kind in the
kernel:
1) freeing of active objects
2) reinitialization of active objects
Both problems can be hard to debug because the crash happens at a point where
we have no chance to decode the root cause anymore. One problem spot are
kernel timers, where the detection of the problem often happens in interrupt
context and usually causes the machine to panic.
While working on a timer related bug report I had to hack specialized code
into the timer subsystem to get a reasonable hint for the root cause. This
debug hack was fine for temporary use, but far from a mergeable solution due
to the intrusiveness into the timer code.
The code further lacked the ability to detect and report the root cause
instantly and keep the system operational.
Keeping the system operational is important to get hold of the debug
information without special debugging aids like serial consoles and special
knowledge of the bug reporter.
The problems described above are not restricted to timers, but timers tend to
expose it usually in a full system crash. Other objects are less explosive,
but the symptoms caused by such mistakes can be even harder to debug.
Instead of creating specialized debugging code for the timer subsystem a
generic infrastructure is created which allows developers to verify their code
and provides an easy to enable debug facility for users in case of trouble.
The debugobjects core code keeps track of operations on static and dynamic
objects by inserting them into a hashed list and sanity checking them on
object operations and provides additional checks whenever kernel memory is
freed.
The tracked object operations are:
- initializing an object
- adding an object to a subsystem list
- deleting an object from a subsystem list
Each operation is sanity checked before the operation is executed and the
subsystem specific code can provide a fixup function which allows to prevent
the damage of the operation. When the sanity check triggers a warning message
and a stack trace is printed.
The list of operations can be extended if the need arises. For now it's
limited to the requirements of the first user (timers).
The core code enqueues the objects into hash buckets. The hash index is
generated from the address of the object to simplify the lookup for the check
on kfree/vfree. Each bucket has it's own spinlock to avoid contention on a
global lock.
The debug code can be compiled in without being active. The runtime overhead
is minimal and could be optimized by asm alternatives. A kernel command line
option enables the debugging code.

Under normal circumstances each device is given a part of the total write-back
cache that relates to its current avg writeout speed in relation to the other
devices.
min_ratio - allows one to assign a minimum portion of the write-back cache to
a particular device. This is useful in situations where you might want to
provide a minimum QoS. (One request for this feature came from flash based
storage people who wanted to avoid writing out at all costs - they of course
needed some pdflush hacks as well)
max_ratio - allows one to assign a maximum portion of the dirty limit to a
particular device. This is useful in situations where you want to avoid one
device taking all or most of the write-back cache. Eg. an NFS mount that is
prone to get stuck, or a FUSE mount which you don't trust to play fair.
Add "min_ratio" to /sys/class/bdi. This indicates the minimum percentage of

Unless there's an error, it always returns the amount of data it could

will take place.
A NUL character is included at the end of the string if the buffer is

Implement a cgroup to track and enforce open and mknod restrictions on device
files. A device cgroup associates a device access whitelist with each cgroup.
A whitelist entry has 4 fields. 'type' is a (all), c (char), or b (block).
'all' means it applies to all types and all major and minor numbers. Major
and minor are either an integer or * for all. Access is a composition of r
(read), w (write), and m (mknod).
The root device cgroup starts with rwm to 'all'. A child devcg gets a copy of
the parent. Admins can then remove devices from the whitelist or add new
entries. A child cgroup can never receive a device access which is denied its
parent. However when a device access is removed from a parent it will not
also be removed from the child(ren).
An entry is added using devices.allow, and removed using
devices.deny. For instance
echo 'c 1:3 mr' > /cgroups/1/devices.allow
allows cgroup 1 to read and mknod the device usually known as
/dev/null. Doing
echo a > /cgroups/1/devices.deny
will remove the default 'a *:* mrw' entry.
CAP_SYS_ADMIN is needed to change permissions or move another task to a new
cgroup. A cgroup may not be granted more permissions than the cgroup's parent
has. Any task can move itself between cgroups. This won't be sufficient, but
we can decide the best way to adequately restrict movement later.

Unfortunately, a lot of stuff in the kernel has size limitations, so
"thinkpad-acpi" ends up eating up too much real estate. We were using
"tpacpi" in symbols already, but this shorthand was not visible to
userland.
Document that the driver will use tpacpi as a short hand where necessary,
and use it to name the kernel thread for NVRAM polling (now named
"ktpacpi_nvramd").
Also, register a module alias with the shorthand. One can refer to the
module using the shorthand name.

Lenovo ThinkPads with generic ACPI backlight level control can be easily
set to react to keyboard brightness key presses in a more predictable way
than what they do when in "DOS / bootloader" mode after Linux brings
up the ACPI interface.
The switch to the ACPI backlight mode in the firmware is designed to be
safe to use only as an one way trapdoor. One is not to force the firmware
to switch back to "DOS/bootloader" mode except by rebooting. The mode
switch itself is performed by calling any of the ACPI _BCL methods at least
once.
When in ACPI mode, the backlight firmware just issues (standard) events for
the brightness up/down hot key presses along with the non-standard HKEY
events which thinkpad-acpi traps, and doesn't touch the hardware.
thinkpad-acpi will:
1. Place the ThinkPad firmware in ACPI backlight control mode
if one is available
2. Suppress HKEY backlight change notifications by default
to avoid double-reporting when ACPI video is loaded when
the ThinkPad is in ACPI backlight control mode
3. Urge the user to load the ACPI video driver
The user is free to use either the ACPI video driver to get the brightness
key events, or to override the thinkpad-acpi default hotkey mask to get
them from thinkpad-acpi as well (this will result in duplicate events if
ACPI video is loaded, so let's hope distros won't screw this up).
Provided userspace is sane, all should work (and *keep* working), which is
more that can be said about the non-ACPI mode of the new Lenovo ThinkPad
BIOSes when coupled to current userspace and X.org drivers.
Full guidelines for backlight hot key reporting and use of the
thinkpad-acpi backlight interface have been added to the documentation.

Improve write performance by preventing the delayed_list from dumping all its
stripes onto the handle_list in one shot. Delayed stripes are now further
delayed by being held on the 'hold_list'. The 'hold_list' is bypassed when:
* a STRIPE_IO_STARTED stripe is found at the head of 'handle_list'
* 'handle_list' is empty and i/o is being done to satisfy full stripe-width
write requests
* 'bypass_count' is less than 'bypass_threshold'. By default the threshold
is 1, i.e. every other stripe handled is a preread stripe provided the
top two conditions are false.
Benchmark data:
System: 2x Xeon 5150, 4x SATA, mem=1GB
Baseline: 2.6.24-rc7
Configuration: mdadm --create /dev/md0 /dev/sd[b-e] -n 4 -l 5 --assume-clean
Test1: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/md0 bs=1024k count=2048
* patched: +33% (stripe_cache_size = 256), +25% (stripe_cache_size = 512)
Test2: tiobench --size 2048 --numruns 5 --block 4096 --block 131072 (XFS)
* patched: +13%
* patched + preread_bypass_threshold = 0: +37%
Changes since v1:
* reduce bypass_threshold from (chunk_size / sectors_per_chunk) to (1) and
make it configurable. This defaults to fairness and modest performance
gains out of the box.
Changes since v2:
* [neilb@suse.de]: kill STRIPE_PRIO_HI and preread_needed as they are not
necessary, the important change was clearing STRIPE_DELAYED in
add_stripe_bio and this has been moved out to make_request for the hang
fix.
* [neilb@suse.de]: simplify get_priority_stripe
* [dan.j.williams@intel.com]: reset the bypass_count when ->hold_list is
sampled empty (+11%)
* [dan.j.williams@intel.com]: decrement the bypass_count at the detection
of stripes being naturally promoted off of hold_list +2%. Note, resetting
bypass_count instead of decrementing on these events yields +4% but that is
probably too aggressive.
Changes since v3:
* cosmetic fixups

The following features are supported:
plane 0 works as a regular frame buffer, can be accessed by /dev/fb0
plane 1 has two AOIs (area of interest), can be accessed by /dev/fb1 and /dev/fb2
plane 2 has two AOIs, can be accessed by /dev/fb3 and /dev/fb4
Special ioctls support AOIs
All /dev/fb* can be used as regular frame buffer devices, except hardware
change can only be made through /dev/fb0. Changing pixel clock has no effect
on other fbs.
Limitation of usage of AOIs:
AOIs on the same plane can not be horizonally overlapped
AOIs have horizonal order, i.e. AOI0 should be always on top of AOI1
AOIs can not beyond phisical display area. Application should check AOI geometry

Bpp
bpp=32, bpp=24, or bpp=16
Monitor

Note: switching monitor is a board feather, not DIU feather. MPC8610HPCD has three

Prior to suspend, we allocate and switch to a new VT; after suspend, we switch
back to the original VT. This can be slow, and is completely unnecessary if
the framebuffer we're using can restore video properly.
This adds a hook that allows drivers to select whether or not to do this vt
switch, and changes the gxfb driver to call this hook. It also adds a module
param to gxfb to allow controlling of the vt switch (defaulting to no switch).
(Note: I'm not convinced that console_sem is the best way to protect this, but
we should probably have some form of locking..)

Now that we're using "preferred local" policy for system default, we need to
make this as fast as possible. Because of the variable size of the mempolicy
structure [based on size of nodemasks], the preferred_node may be in a
different cacheline from the mode. This can result in accessing an extra
cacheline in the normal case of system default policy. Suspect this is the
cause of an observed 2-3% slowdown in page fault testing relative to kernel
without this patch series.
To alleviate this, use an internal mode flag, MPOL_F_LOCAL in the mempolicy
flags member which is guaranteed [?] to be in the same cacheline as the mode
itself.
Verified that reworked mempolicy now performs slightly better on 25-rc8-mm1
for both anon and shmem segments with system default and vma [preferred local]
policy.

Currently, when one specifies MPOL_DEFAULT via a NUMA memory policy API
[set_mempolicy(), mbind() and internal versions], the kernel simply installs a
NULL struct mempolicy pointer in the appropriate context: task policy, vma
policy, or shared policy. This causes any use of that policy to "fall back"
to the next most specific policy scope.
The only use of MPOL_DEFAULT to mean "local allocation" is in the system
default policy. This requires extra checks/cases for MPOL_DEFAULT in many
mempolicy.c functions.
There is another, "preferred" way to specify local allocation via the APIs.
That is using the MPOL_PREFERRED policy mode with an empty nodemask.
Internally, the empty nodemask gets converted to a preferred_node id of '-1'.
All internal usage of MPOL_PREFERRED will convert the '-1' to the id of the
node local to the cpu where the allocation occurs.
System default policy, except during boot, is hard-coded to "local
allocation". By using the MPOL_PREFERRED mode with a negative value of
preferred node for system default policy, MPOL_DEFAULT will never occur in the
'policy' member of a struct mempolicy. Thus, we can remove all checks for
MPOL_DEFAULT when converting policy to a node id/zonelist in the allocation
paths.
In slab_node() return local node id when policy pointer is NULL. No need to
set a pol value to take the switch default. Replace switch default with
BUG()--i.e., shouldn't happen.
With this patch MPOL_DEFAULT is only used in the APIs, including internal
calls to do_set_mempolicy() and in the display of policy in
/proc/<pid>/numa_maps. It always means "fall back" to the the next most
specific policy scope. This simplifies the description of memory policies
quite a bit, with no visible change in behavior.
get_mempolicy() continues to return MPOL_DEFAULT and an empty nodemask when
the requested policy [task or vma/shared] is NULL. These are the values one
would supply via set_mempolicy() or mbind() to achieve that condition--default
behavior.
This patch updates Documentation to reflect this change.

After further discussion with Christoph Lameter, it has become clear that my
earlier attempts to clean up the mempolicy reference counting were a bit of
overkill in some areas, resulting in superflous ref/unref in what are usually
fast paths. In other areas, further inspection reveals that I botched the
unref for interleave policies.
A separate patch, suitable for upstream/stable trees, fixes up the known
errors in the previous attempt to fix reference counting.
This patch reworks the memory policy referencing counting and, one hopes,
simplifies the code. Maybe I'll get it right this time.
See the update to the numa_memory_policy.txt document for a discussion of
memory policy reference counting that motivates this patch.
Summary:
Lookup of mempolicy, based on (vma, address) need only add a reference for
shared policy, and we need only unref the policy when finished for shared
policies. So, this patch backs out all of the unneeded extra reference
counting added by my previous attempt. It then unrefs only shared policies
when we're finished with them, using the mpol_cond_put() [conditional put]
helper function introduced by this patch.
Note that shmem_swapin() calls read_swap_cache_async() with a dummy vma
containing just the policy. read_swap_cache_async() can call alloc_page_vma()
multiple times, so we can't let alloc_page_vma() unref the shared policy in
this case. To avoid this, we make a copy of any non-null shared policy and
remove the MPOL_F_SHARED flag from the copy. This copy occurs before reading
a page [or multiple pages] from swap, so the overhead should not be an issue
here.
I introduced a new static inline function "mpol_cond_copy()" to copy the
shared policy to an on-stack policy and remove the flags that would require a
conditional free. The current implementation of mpol_cond_copy() assumes that
the struct mempolicy contains no pointers to dynamically allocated structures
that must be duplicated or reference counted during copy.

The terms 'policy' and 'mode' are both used in various places to describe the
semantics of the value stored in the 'policy' member of struct mempolicy.
Furthermore, the term 'policy' is used to refer to that member, to the entire
struct mempolicy and to the more abstract concept of the tuple consisting of a
"mode" and an optional node or set of nodes. Recently, we have added "mode
flags" that are passed in the upper bits of the 'mode' [or sometimes,
'policy'] member of the numa APIs.
I'd like to resolve this confusion, which perhaps only exists in my mind, by
renaming the 'policy' member to 'mode' throughout, and fixing up the
Documentation. Man pages will be updated separately.

MPOL_F_STATIC_NODES and MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES don't mean anything for
MPOL_PREFERRED policies that were created with an empty nodemask (for purely
local allocations). They'll never be invalidated because the allowed mems of
a task changes or need to be rebound relative to a cpuset's placement.
Also fixes a bug identified by Lee Schermerhorn that disallowed empty
nodemasks to be passed to MPOL_PREFERRED to specify local allocations. [A
different, somewhat incomplete, patch already existed in 25-rc5-mm1.]

The MPOL_BIND policy creates a zonelist that is used for allocations
controlled by that mempolicy. As the per-node zonelist is already being
filtered based on a zone id, this patch adds a version of __alloc_pages() that
takes a nodemask for further filtering. This eliminates the need for
MPOL_BIND to create a custom zonelist.
A positive benefit of this is that allocations using MPOL_BIND now use the
local node's distance-ordered zonelist instead of a custom node-id-ordered
zonelist. I.e., pages will be allocated from the closest allowed node with
available memory.

unmodified PowerPC 440 Linux kernels as guests on a PowerPC 440 host. (Only
tested with 440EP "Bamboo" guests so far, but with appropriate userspace
support other SoC/board combinations should work.)
See Documentation/powerpc/kvm_440.txt for technical details.

Remove obsoleted "idex=reset" kernel parameter
(it has been obsoleted since 1 Nov 2004).
Then remove corresponding code from ide_probe_port()
and no longer used ->reset field from ide_hwif_t.

Add "ignore_cable" parameter:
* "ide_core.ignore_cable=[interface_number]" boot option if IDE is built-in
(i.e. "ide_core.ignore_cable=1" to force ignoring cable for "ide1")
* "ignore_cable=[interface_number]" module parameter (for ide_core module)
if IDE is compiled as module
v2:
* Add ide_port_apply_params() helper
- use it in ide_device_add_all() and ide_scan_port().
* Make it possible to later disable ignoring cable detection by passing
"[interface_number]:0" to /sys/module/ide_core/parameters/ignore_cable
(however sysfs interface is not enabled yet since it needs some other
IDE changes to make it work reliable).

There's nothing we can do about read errors on the W83L785TS-S, so
don't ask the user to report them.
