14e04fb34f ACPI: Schedule /proc/acpi/event for removal
Schedule /proc/acpi/event for removal in 6 months.

Re-name acpi_bus_generate_event() to acpi_bus_generate_proc_event()
to make sure there is no confusion that it is for /proc/acpi/event only.

Add CONFIG_ACPI_PROC_EVENT to allow removal of /proc/acpi/event.
There is no functional change if CONFIG_ACPI_PROC_EVENT=y

962ce8ca06 ACPI: don't duplicate input events on netlink
The previous events patch added a netlink event for every
user of the legacy /proc/acpi/event interface.

However, some users of /proc/acpi/event are really input events,
and they already report their events via the input layer.

Introduce a new interface, acpi_bus_generate_netlink_event(),
which is explicitly called by devices that want to repoprt
events via netlink.  This allows the input-like events
to opt-out of generating netlink events.  In summary:

events that are sent via netlink:
	ac/battery/sbs
	thermal
	processor
	thinkpad_acpi dock/bay

events that are sent via input layer:
	button
	video hotkey
	thinkpad_acpi hotkey
	asus_acpi/asus-laptop hotkey
	sonypi/sonylaptop

04b35abef7 V4L/DVB (6070): Fix a warning at dvb_net
static function dvb_net_sec declares input arg "pkt" as u8. However, the
same argument at dvb_net_sec_callback is defined as "const u8". When

6175e487e3 V4L/DVB (6042): b2c2-flexcop: fix Airstar HD5000 tuning regression
Git changeset 6bdcc6e6db dropped the
stand-alone lgh06xf module, whose functionality was absorbed into the
dvb-pll module. However, there was a minor difference between the code
in lgh06xf and dvb-pll, which caused a regression in b2c2-flexcop
devices using the LG-H06xF NIM.

dvb-pll will probe for the presence of an i2c pll chip by performing a
single byte read, the lgh06xf driver did not do this. Unfortunately, the
code in flexcop-i2c.c does not currently support 1 byte or 0 byte reads
as a probe.  Such probes with the current code will always fail.

In order to work around this problem, and restore proper functionality
of the Airstar HD5000 device, this hack was created to make the probe
appear to succeed.  The single byte read in dvb_pll_attach is the only
place where such a probe would ever occur, so this change is safe, and
will not affect any other devices.

Of course, if one knew how to actually perform the read operation, it
would be better to go that route.  In the meantime, however, we must
apply this workaround, in order to prevent the regression that causes
tuning to fail on the Airstar HD5000 ATSC device.

Thanks to Jarod Wilson, who had originally reported this regression, and
to Geoffrey Hausheer, whose original workaround patch led us to find the
actual cause of the problem.

f549da848e sched: skip updating rq's next_balance under null SD
Was playing with sched_smt_power_savings/sched_mc_power_savings and
found out that while the scheduler domains are reconstructed when sysfs
settings change, rebalance_domains() can get triggered with null domain
on other cpus, which is setting next_balance to jiffies + 60*HZ.
Resulting in no idle/busy balancing for 60 seconds.

f8700df7c4 sched: fix broken SMT/MC optimizations
On a four package system with HT - HT load balancing optimizations were
broken.  For example, if two tasks end up running on two logical threads
of one of the packages, scheduler is not able to pull one of the tasks
to a completely idle package.

In this scenario, for nice-0 tasks, imbalance calculated by scheduler
will be 512 and find_busiest_queue() will return 0 (as each cpu's load
is 1024 > imbalance and has only one task running).

Similarly MC scheduler optimizations also get fixed with this patch.

[ mingo@elte.hu: restored fair balancing by increasing the fuzz and
                 adding it back to the power decision, without the /2

2aa44d0567 sched: sched_clock_idle_[sleep|wakeup]_event()
construct a more or less wall-clock time out of sched_clock(), by
using ACPI-idle's existing knowledge about how much time we spent
idling. This allows the rq clock to work around TSC-stops-in-C2,
TSC-gets-corrupted-in-C3 type of problems.

( Besides the scheduler's statistics this also benefits blktrace and
  printk-timestamps as well. )

Furthermore, the precise before-C2/C3-sleep and after-C2/C3-wakeup
callbacks allow the scheduler to get out the most of the period where
the CPU has a reliable TSC. This results in slightly more precise
task statistics.

the ACPI bits were acked by Len.

78c4af0b43 pata_pdc2027x: PLL detection fixes
Previously I reported that the pata_pdc2027x PLL detection changes
in kernel 2.6.22 broke the driver on my PowerMac:

>pata_pdc2027x: Invalid PLL input clock 1691742kHz, give up!

This is followed by a number of errors and speed reduction
steps on the affected ports.

There are two bugs in pata_pdc2027x's PLL detection code:

1. The PLL counter's start value is read before the chip is
   put in "test mode". Outside of test mode the counter is
   halted, and on the PowerMac the counter is zero because
   the chip hasn't been initialised by its BIOS.

   The fix is to move the read of the start value to after
   test mode is started, but before the mdelay() in test mode.
   This also improves the precision of the PLL detection.

2. The code to compute the number of PLL decrements during the
   mdelay() in test mode fails to consider that the PLL counter
   only is 30 bits wide. If there is a wraparound, it will compute
   an incorrect and much too large value. On the PowerMac, the
   start count is zero, the end count is a large 30-bit value, so
   wraparound occurs and an out of bounds PLL clock is detected.

   The fix is to mask the (start - end) computation to 30 bits.

While debugging this I also noticed that pdc_read_counter()
reads the two halves of the 30-bit PLL counter as 16-bit values,
and then combines them as if the halves only are 15 bits wide.
To avoid confusion, the halves should be read as 15-bit values.

This patch implements all three changes. It fixes the PLL detection
failure on my PowerMac, and doesn't cause any regressions on an x86
with an identical card.

b377fd3982 Apply memory policies to top two highest zones when highest zone is ZONE_MOVABLE
The NUMA layer only supports NUMA policies for the highest zone.  When
ZONE_MOVABLE is configured with kernelcore=, the the highest zone becomes
ZONE_MOVABLE.  The result is that policies are only applied to allocations
like anonymous pages and page cache allocated from ZONE_MOVABLE when the
zone is used.

This patch applies policies to the two highest zones when the highest zone
is ZONE_MOVABLE.  As ZONE_MOVABLE consists of pages from the highest "real"
zone, it's always functionally equivalent.

The patch has been tested on a variety of machines both NUMA and non-NUMA
covering x86, x86_64 and ppc64.  No abnormal results were seen in
kernbench, tbench, dbench or hackbench.  It passes regression tests from
the numactl package with and without kernelcore= once numactl tests are
patched to wait for vmstat counters to update.

akpm: this is the nasty hack to fix NUMA mempolicies in the presence of
ZONE_MOVABLE and kernelcore= in 2.6.23.  Christoph says "For .24 either merge
the mobility or get the other solution that Mel is working on.  That solution
would only use a single zonelist per node and filter on the fly.  That may
help performance and also help to make memory policies work better."

This is not safe without the rmb() in between.  The results of two
correctly ordered __exit_signal()->atomic_dec_and_test()'s could be seen
out of order on our CPU.

The same is true for the "thread_group_empty()" case, __unhash_process()'s
changes could be seen before atomic_dec_and_test(&sig->count).

On some platforms (including i386) atomic_read() doesn't provide even the
compiler barrier, in that case these checks are simply racy.

Remove these BUG_ON()'s. Alternatively, we can do something like

	BUG_ON( ({ smp_rmb(); atomic_read(&sig->count) != 1; }) );

marked as up (meaning either node is online (upstream) or node has memory
(Andrew's tree)) but allocations from the node do not succeed.

fe58103a56 cfag12864b fix
This one-liner patch fixes a bug in drivers/auxdisplay/cfag12864b.c

At cfag12864b_init(), the driver tries to kalloc some memory in the
variable cfag12864b_cache.

Then, as usual, it checks if the call failed. However, it checks
cfag12864b_buffer instead.

This patch changes the "cfag12864b_buffer" to "cfag12864b_cache" so the
correct variable is checked.

1864f7bd58 autofs4: deadlock during create
Due to inconsistent locking in the VFS between calls to lookup and
revalidate deadlock can occur in the automounter.

The inconsistency is that the directory inode mutex is held for both lookup
and revalidate calls when called via lookup_hash whereas it is held only
for lookup during a path walk.  Consequently, if the mutex is held during a
call to revalidate autofs4 can't release the mutex to callback the daemon
as it can't know whether it owns the mutex.

This situation happens when a process tries to create a directory within an
automount and a second process also tries to create the same directory
between the lookup and the mkdir.  Since the first process has dropped the
mutex for the daemon callback, the second process takes it during
revalidate leading to deadlock between the autofs daemon and the second
process when the daemon tries to create the mount point directory.

After spending quite a bit of time trying to resolve this on more than one
occassion, using rather complex and ulgy approaches, it turns out that just
delaying the hashing of the dentry until the create operation works fine.

f4768ffd1d uml: fix previous request size limit fix
The previous patch which limited the number of sectors in a single request
to a COWed device was correct in concept, but the limit was implemented in
the wrong place.

By putting it in ubd_add, it covered the cases where the COWing was
specified on the command line.  However, when the command line only has the
COW file specified, the fact that it's a COW file isn't known until it's
opened, so the limit is missed in these cases.

This patch moves the sector limit from ubd_add to ubd_open_dev.

a88aa7865b md: correctly update sysfs when a raid1 is reshaped
When a raid1 array is reshaped (number of drives changed), the list of devices
is compacted, so that slots for missing devices are filled with working
devices from later slots.  This requires the "rd%d" symlinks in sysfs to be
updated.

918f02383f md: make sure a re-add after a restart honours bitmap when resyncing
Commit 1757128438 was slightly bad.  If an array
has a write-intent bitmap, and you remove a drive, then readd it, only the
changed parts should be resynced.  However after the above commit, this only
works if the array has not been shut down and restarted.

This is because it sets 'fullsync' at little more often than it should.  This
patch is more careful.

a89182c76e Fix VM_FAULT flags conversion for hugetlb
It seems a simple mistake was made when converting follow_hugetlb_page()
over to the VM_FAULT flags bitmasks (in "mm: fault feedback #2", commit
83c54070ee).

By using the wrong bitmask, hugetlb_fault() failures are not being
recognized.  This results in an infinite loop whenever follow_hugetlb_page
is involved in a failed fault.

1807a1aaf5 slab: skip calling cache_free_alien() when the platform is not numa capable
Skip calling cache_free_alien() when the platform is not numa capable.
This will avoid cache misses that happen while accessing slabp (which is
per page memory reference) to get nodeid.  Instead use a global variable to
skip the call, which is mostly likely to be present in the cache.

This gives a 0.8% performance boost with the database oltp workload on a
quad-core SMP platform and by any means the number is not small :)

f9ee228bdc signalfd: make it group-wide, fix posix-timers scheduling
With this patch any thread can dequeue its own private signals via signalfd,
even if it was created by another sub-thread.

To do so, we pass "current" to dequeue_signal() if the caller is from the same
thread group. This also fixes the scheduling of posix timers broken by the
previous patch.

If the caller doesn't belong to this thread group, we can't handle __SI_TIMER
case properly anyway. Perhaps we should forbid the cross-process signalfd usage
and convert ctx->tsk to ctx->sighand.
