13de227bcd [S390] dasd: add device attribute to disable blocking on lost paths
When the connection between host and storage server is lost, the
dasd device driver usually blocks all I/O on affected devices and
waits for them to reappear. In some setups however it would be
better if the I/O is returned as error so that device can be
recovered by some other means, eg. in a raid or multipath setup.

1301809bce [S390] dasd: send change uevents for dasd block devices
When a DASD device enters or leaves the 'online' state we need to
trigger change events for the respective disk and partitions.
These extra events are needed because when disk and partitions are
first added, udev rules that try to read disk labels or other data
may fail as the disk may not yet be ready.

93a6d3ce69 powerpc: Provide a way to defer perf counter work until interrupts are enabled
Because 64-bit powerpc uses lazy (soft) interrupt disabling, it is
possible for a performance monitor exception to come in when the
kernel thinks interrupts are disabled (i.e. when they are
soft-disabled but hard-enabled).  In such a situation the performance
monitor exception handler might have some processing to do (such as
process wakeups) which can't be done in what is effectively an NMI
handler.

This provides a way to defer that work until interrupts get enabled,
either in raw_local_irq_restore() or by returning from an interrupt
handler to code that had interrupts enabled.  We have a per-processor
flag that indicates that there is work pending to do when interrupts
subsequently get re-enabled.  This flag is checked in the interrupt
return path and in raw_local_irq_restore(), and if it is set,
perf_counter_do_pending() is called to do the pending work.

237889bf0a ACPI : Use RSDT instead of XSDT by adding boot option of "acpi=rsdt"
On some boxes there exist both RSDT and XSDT table. But unfortunately
sometimes there exists the following error when XSDT table is used:
   a. 32/64X address mismatch
   b. The 32/64X FACS address mismatch

   In such case the boot option of "acpi=rsdt" is provided so that
RSDT is tried instead of XSDT table when the system can't work well.

13b40a1a06 ACPI: Avoid array address overflow when _CST MWAIT hint bits are set
The Cx Register address obtained from the _CST object is used as the MWAIT
hints if the register type is FFixedHW. And it is used to check whether
the Cx type is supported or not.

On some boxes the following Cx state package is obtained from _CST object:
    >{
                ResourceTemplate ()
                {
                    Register (FFixedHW,
                        0x01,               // Bit Width
                        0x02,               // Bit Offset
                        0x0000000000889759, // Address
                        0x03,               // Access Size
                        )
                },

                0x03,
                0xF5,
                0x015E }

   In such case we should use the bit[7:4] of Cx address to check whether
the Cx type is supported or not.

mask the MWAIT hint to avoid array address overflow

4eb96fcfe0 perf_counter: Add dummy perf_counter_print_debug function
Impact: minimize requirements on architectures

Currently, an architecture just enabling CONFIG_PERF_COUNTERS but not
providing any extra functions will fail to build with
perf_counter_print_debug being undefined, since we don't provide an
empty dummy definition like we do with the hw_perf_* functions.

This provides an empty dummy perf_counter_print_debug() to make it
easier for architectures to turn on CONFIG_PERF_COUNTERS.

f87a1a5f6c fujitsu-laptop: Simplify SBLL/SBL2 backlight handling
GBLS and GBLL only differ in the clearing of the GHKS flag, so there is no need
to have two backlight level readouts. Also, per Peter Gruber, the need for the
BLNF check has disappeared.
As a result, cleanups can be made in the code. This has been tested on the both
the S6410 and the S6420 platforms and causes no functionality regressions, on
the console without X or within X. One module parameter to disable the hotkeys
is dropped, as we only ever took one codepath anyway.

3a40708609 fujitsu-laptop: Add BL power, LED control and radio state information
The FUNC interface in the Fujitsu-Siemens DSDT was unused until now. It exposes
state information that is now reported in additional platform files (whether the
radios are killed by the hardware switch or operational, whether the machine is
docked and whether the lid is open).
Support for the backlight class is now extended with the ability to power the
backlight on & off. Optional support for the LED class allows the keyboard
headlamps found on the U810 netbook and the Fujitsu logo illumination on the
P8010 notebook to be turned on & off.

This was fed through checkpatch.pl and tested on the S6420, P8010 & U810 platforms.

3cbed429a9 perf_counter: Add optional hw_perf_group_sched_in arch function
Impact: extend perf_counter infrastructure

This adds an optional hw_perf_group_sched_in() arch function that enables
a whole group of counters in one go.  It returns 1 if it added the group
successfully, 0 if it did nothing (and therefore the core needs to add
the counters individually), or a negative number if an error occurred.
It should add all the counters and enable any software counters in the
group, or else add none of them and return an error.

There are a couple of related changes/improvements in the group handling
here:

* As an optimization, group_sched_out() and group_sched_in() now check the
  state of the group leader, and do nothing if the leader is not active
  or disabled.

* We now call hw_perf_save_disable/hw_perf_restore around the complete
  set of counter enable/disable calls in __perf_counter_sched_in/out,
  to give the arch code the opportunity to defer updating the hardware
  state until the hw_perf_restore call if it wants.

* We no longer stop adding groups after we get to a group that has more
  than one counter.  We will ultimately add an option for a group to be
  exclusive.  The current code doesn't really implement exclusive groups
  anyway, since a group could end up going on with other counters that
  get added before it.

9abf8a08bc perf_counter: Fix the cpu_clock software counter
Impact: bug fix

Currently if you do (e.g.) timec -e -1 ls, it will report 0 for the
value of the cpu_clock counter.  The reason is that the core assumes
that a counter's count field is up-to-date when the counter is inactive,
and doesn't call the counter's read function.  However, the cpu_clock
counter code only updates the count in the read function.

This fixes it by making both the read and disable functions update the
count.  It also makes the counter ignore time passing while the counter
is disabled, by making the enable function update the hw.prev_count field.

ff6f05416e perf_counter: Fix return value from dummy hw_perf_counter_init
Impact: fix oops-causing bug

Currently, if you try to use perf_counters on an architecture that has
no hardware support, and you select an event that doesn't map to any of
the defined software counters, you get an oops rather than an error.
This is because the dummy hw_perf_counter_init returns ERR_PTR(-EINVAL)
but the caller (perf_counter_alloc) only tests for NULL.

This makes the dummy hw_perf_counter_init return NULL instead.

871af1210f libata: Add 32bit PIO support
This matters for some controllers and in one or two cases almost doubles
PIO performance. Add a bmdma32 operations set we can inherit and activate
it for some controllers

e427fe042c [libata] ahci: Withdraw IGN_SERR_INTERNAL for SB800 SATA
There is an issue in ATI SB600/SB700 SATA that PxSERR.E should not be
set on some conditions, which will lead to many SATA ODD error messages.
commit 55a61604cd is the workaround.
Since SB800 fixed this HW issue, IGN_SERR_INTERNAL should be withdrawn
for SB800.

4044ba58dd md: don't retry recovery of raid1 that fails due to error on source drive.
If a raid1 has only one working drive and it has a sector which
gives an error on read, then an attempt to recover onto a spare will
fail, but as the single remaining drive is not removed from the
array, the recovery will be immediately re-attempted, resulting
in an infinite recovery loop.

So detect this situation and don't retry recovery once an error
on the lone remaining drive is detected.

Allow recovery to be retried once every time a spare is added
in case the problem wasn't actually a media error.

efeb53c0e5 md: Allow md devices to be created by name.
Using sequential numbers to identify md devices is somewhat artificial.
Using names can be a lot more user-friendly.

Also, creating md devices by opening the device special file is a bit
awkward.

So this patch provides a new option for creating and naming devices.

Writing a name such as "md_home" to
    /sys/modules/md_mod/parameters/new_array
will cause an array with that name to be created.  It will appear in
/sys/block/ /proc/partitions and /proc/mdstat as 'md_home'.
It will have an arbitrary minor number allocated.

md devices that a created by an open are destroyed on the last
close when the device is inactive.
For named md devices, they will not be destroyed until the array
is explicitly stopped, either with the STOP_ARRAY ioctl or by
writing 'clear' to /sys/block/md_XXXX/md/array_state.

The name of the array must start 'md_' to avoid conflict with
other devices.
