x86: Fix ioremap off by one BUG
ladder governor only honored latency requirement when promoting C-states.
Instead. it should check for latency requirement on each idle call,
and demote to appropriate C-state when there is a latency requirement change.

There is a bug in menu governor where we have
if (data->elapsed_us < data->elapsed_us + measured_us)
with measured_us already having elapsed_us added in tickless case here
unsigned int measured_us =
cpuidle_get_last_residency(dev) + data->elapsed_us;
Also, it should be last_residency, not measured_us, that need to be used to
do comparing and distinguish between expected & non-expected events.
Refactor menu_reflect() to fix these two problems.

poll_idle was added to CPUIDLE, just as a low latency idle handler, to be
used in cases when user desires CPUs not to enter any idle state at all. It
was supposed to be a run time idle=poll option to the user. But, it was indeed
getting used during normal menu and ladder governor default case, with no
special user setting (Reported by Linus Torvalds).
Change below ensures that poll_idle will not be used unless user explicitly
asks pm_qos infrastructure for zero latency requirement.

Not all AMD K8 have 6 VID pins, contrary to what was assumed in
commit 116d0486bd. This commit broke
support of older CPU models which have only 5 VID pins:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11329
We need two entries in the hwmon-vid table, one for 5-bit VID models
(K8 revision <= E) and one for 6-bit VID models (K8 revision >= F).
This fixes bug #11329.

as per this discussion:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/8/12/423
Pardo reported that 64-bit threaded apps, if their stacks exceed the
combined size of ~4GB, slow down drastically in pthread_create() - because
glibc uses MAP_32BIT to allocate the stacks. The use of MAP_32BIT is
a legacy hack - to speed up context switching on certain early model
64-bit P4 CPUs.
So introduce a new flag to be used by glibc instead, to not constrain
64-bit apps like this.
glibc can switch to this new flag straight away - it will be ignored
by the kernel. If those old CPUs ever matter to anyone, support for
it can be implemented.

Jean Delvare's machine triggered this BUG
acpi_os_map_memory phys ffff0000 size 65535
------------[ cut here ]------------
kernel BUG at arch/x86/mm/pat.c:233!
with ACPI in the backtrace.
Adding some debugging output showed that ACPI calls
acpi_os_map_memory phys ffff0000 size 65535
And ioremap/PAT does this check in 32bit, so addr+size wraps and the BUG
in reserve_memtype() triggers incorrectly.
BUG_ON(start >= end); /* end is exclusive */
But reserve_memtype already uses u64:
int reserve_memtype(u64 start, u64 end,
so the 32bit truncation must happen in the caller. Presumably in ioremap
when it passes this information to reserve_memtype().
This patch does this computation in 64bit.

When reviewing a recent patch I noticed a potential trouble spot in the
registration of new SPI devices. The SPI master driver is told to set
the device up before adding it to the driver model, so that it's always
properly set up when probe() is called. (This is important, because in
the case of inverted chipselects, this device can make the bus misbehave
until it's properly deselected. It's got to be set up even if no driver
binds to the device.)
The trouble spot is that it doesn't first verify that no other device
has been added using that chipselect. If such a device has been added,
its configuration gets trashed. (Fortunately this has not been a common
error!)
The fix here adds an explicit check, and a mutex to protect the relevant
critical region.

write_cache_pages() uses i_mapping->writeback_index to pick up where it
left off the last time a given inode was found by pdflush or
balance_dirty_pages (or anyone else who sets wbc->range_cyclic)
alloc_inode() should set it to a sane value so that writeback doesn't
start in the middle of a file. It is somewhat difficult to notice the bug
since write_cache_pages will loop around to the start of the file and the
elevator helps hide the resulting seeks.
For whatever reason, Btrfs hits this often. Unpatched, untarring 30
copies of the linux kernel in series runs at 47MB/s on a single sata

Currently, all sensors are read when the energy meter is queried via
sysfs. This introduces a considerable amount of delay and variation in
the sysfs reading, which is not desirable when trying to profile energy
use. Therefore, read only the energy meters when a sysfs query comes in
for them, and don't cache the results so that we always get the latest
reading.

On older machines, probing for a nonexistent AEM interface returned an
IPMI error; when we saw this, we'd stop probing. On the x3650 M2 and
(presumably) later, we are returned a value indicating success and a
buffer full of garbage or zeroes. This causes the probe function to run
in an infinite loop. To fix this, we add one last check--if the
interface number we're looking for is higher than the number of
interfaces that AEM claims to have, stop probing.

Previously the driver was only using DMI to prevent smbus probing on
non-Abit motherboards. However, since the manual probing method is
brittle and prone to failure on some Abit motherboards (esp. the Abit
IP35 Pro) it is better to use DMI to also read the board name and then
decide whether or not to probe the bus.
At the moment, we do not have a list of valid DMI name strings to use
for existing and supported motherboards. This patch only implements DMI
probing for the IP35 Pro. For motherboards that can not yet use DMI
probing, a warning will be printed to the kernel log asking those users
to email me their dmidecode output.
The existing manual probing mechanism will be used if CONFIG_DMI is not
enabled, if DMI probing fails (for DMI-unsupported motherboards), or if
DMI probing fails and the "force" option is set (for DMI-supported
motherboards). Ideally in the longer term this manual probing method
would be removed.
This patch should be safe to apply as it does not change the probing
behaviour for most of the supported motherboards, just the IP35 Pro,
which already has regressions filed against it in 2.6.26.

This is the minimal sequence that jams the allocator:
void *p, *q, *r;
p = alloc_bootmem(PAGE_SIZE);
q = alloc_bootmem(64);
free_bootmem(p, PAGE_SIZE);
p = alloc_bootmem(PAGE_SIZE);
r = alloc_bootmem(64);
after this sequence (assuming that the allocator was empty or page-aligned
before), pointer "q" will be equal to pointer "r".
What's hapenning inside the allocator:
p = alloc_bootmem(PAGE_SIZE);
in allocator: last_end_off == PAGE_SIZE, bitmap contains bits 10000...
q = alloc_bootmem(64);
in allocator: last_end_off == PAGE_SIZE + 64, bitmap contains 11000...
free_bootmem(p, PAGE_SIZE);
in allocator: last_end_off == PAGE_SIZE + 64, bitmap contains 01000...
p = alloc_bootmem(PAGE_SIZE);
in allocator: last_end_off == PAGE_SIZE, bitmap contains 11000...
r = alloc_bootmem(64);
and now:
it finds bit "2", as a place where to allocate (sidx)
it hits the condition
if (bdata->last_end_off && PFN_DOWN(bdata->last_end_off) + 1 == sidx))
start_off = ALIGN(bdata->last_end_off, align);
-you can see that the condition is true, so it assigns start_off =
ALIGN(bdata->last_end_off, align); (that is PAGE_SIZE) and allocates
over already allocated block.
With the patch it tries to continue at the end of previous allocation only
if the previous allocation ended in the middle of the page.
