0db6095d4f [PATCH] pcmcia: at91_cf suspend/resume/wakeup
AT91 CF updates, mostly for power management:

 - Add suspend/resume methods to the AT91 CF driver, disabling
   non-wakeup IRQs during system suspend.  The card detect IRQ
   serves as a wakeup event source.

 - Convert the driver to the more-current "platform_driver" style.

So inserting or removing a CF card will wake the system, unless that
has been disabled by updating the sysfs file; and there will be no
more warnings about spurious IRQs during suspend/resume cycles.

The patch below cleans up the pcmcia code a bit on the IRQ side (I did
this while debugging the problem just so I could read wtf it was doing),
and also adds a warning and passes back the correct information when a
device asks for exclusive but gets given shared. This at least means the
dmesg dump of a problem triggered by this will have a signature to find.

2d7bbb91c8 [PATCH] EDAC: mc numbers refactor 1-of-2
Remove add_mc_to_global_list().  In next patch, this function will be
reimplemented with different semantics.

1 Reimplement add_mc_to_global_list() with semantics that allow the caller to
  determine the ID number for a mem_ctl_info structure.  Then modify
  edac_mc_add_mc() so that the caller specifies the ID number for the new
  mem_ctl_info structure.  Platform-specific code should be able to assign the
  ID numbers in a platform-specific manner.  For instance, on Opteron it makes
  sense to have the ID of the mem_ctl_info structure match the ID of the node
  that the memory controller belongs to.

2 Modify callers of edac_mc_add_mc() so they use the new semantics.

Remove some PCI dependencies from the core EDAC module.  Made the code 'struct

from a patch by Dave Jiang.  It may be best to eventually move the

f8891e5e1f [PATCH] Light weight event counters
The remaining counters in page_state after the zoned VM counter patches
have been applied are all just for show in /proc/vmstat.  They have no
essential function for the VM.

We use a simple increment of per cpu variables.  In order to avoid the most
severe races we disable preempt.  Preempt does not prevent the race between
an increment and an interrupt handler incrementing the same statistics
counter.  However, that race is exceedingly rare, we may only loose one
increment or so and there is no requirement (at least not in kernel) that
the vm event counters have to be accurate.

In the non preempt case this results in a simple increment for each
counter.  For many architectures this will be reduced by the compiler to a
single instruction.  This single instruction is atomic for i386 and x86_64.
 And therefore even the rare race condition in an interrupt is avoided for
both architectures in most cases.

The patchset also adds an off switch for embedded systems that allows a
building of linux kernels without these counters.

The implementation of these counters is through inline code that hopefully
results in only a single instruction increment instruction being emitted
(i386, x86_64) or in the increment being hidden though instruction
concurrency (EPIC architectures such as ia64 can get that done).

Benefits:
- VM event counter operations usually reduce to a single inline instruction
  on i386 and x86_64.
- No interrupt disable, only preempt disable for the preempt case.
  Preempt disable can also be avoided by moving the counter into a spinlock.
- Handling is similar to zoned VM counters.
- Simple and easily extendable.
- Can be omitted to reduce memory use for embedded use.

ca889e6c45 [PATCH] Use Zoned VM Counters for NUMA statistics
The numa statistics are really event counters.  But they are per node and
so we have had special treatment for these counters through additional
fields on the pcp structure.  We can now use the per zone nature of the
zoned VM counters to realize these.

This will shrink the size of the pcp structure on NUMA systems.  We will
have some room to add additional per zone counters that will all still fit
in the same cacheline.

 Bits	Prior pcp size	  	Size after patch	We can add
 ------------------------------------------------------------------
 64	128 bytes (16 words)	80 bytes (10 words)	48
 32	 76 bytes (19 words)	56 bytes (14 words)	8 (64 byte cacheline)
							72 (128 byte)

Remove the special statistics for numa and replace them with zoned vm
counters.  This has the side effect that global sums of these events now
show up in /proc/vmstat.

Also take the opportunity to move the zone_statistics() function from
page_alloc.c into vmstat.c.

d2c5e30c9a [PATCH] zoned vm counters: conversion of nr_bounce to per zone counter
Conversion of nr_bounce to a per zone counter

nr_bounce is only used for proc output.  So it could be left as an event
counter.  However, the event counters may not be accurate and nr_bounce is
categorizing types of pages in a zone.  So we really need this to also be a
per zone counter.

fd39fc8561 [PATCH] zoned vm counters: conversion of nr_unstable to per zone counter
Conversion of nr_unstable to a per zone counter

We need to do some special modifications to the nfs code since there are
multiple cases of disposition and we need to have a page ref for proper
accounting.

This converts the last critical page state of the VM and therefore we need to
remove several functions that were depending on GET_PAGE_STATE_LAST in order
to make the kernel compile again.  We are only left with event type counters
in page state.

ce866b34ae [PATCH] zoned vm counters: conversion of nr_writeback to per zone counter
Conversion of nr_writeback to per zone counter.

This removes the last page_state counter from arch/i386/mm/pgtable.c so we
drop the page_state from there.

b1e7a8fd85 [PATCH] zoned vm counters: conversion of nr_dirty to per zone counter
This makes nr_dirty a per zone counter.  Looping over all processors is
avoided during writeback state determination.

The counter aggregation for nr_dirty had to be undone in the NFS layer since
we summed up the page counts from multiple zones.  Someone more familiar with
NFS should probably review what I have done.
