f7c83a0aaa Fix drivers/media build for modular builds
Fix allmodconfig build bug introduced in latest -git by commit
7c91f0624a ("V4L/DVB(7767): Move tuners to common/tuners"):

  LD      kernel/built-in.o
  LD      drivers/built-in.o
  ld: drivers/media/built-in.o: No such file: No such file or directory

which happens if all media drivers are modular:

  http://redhat.com/~mingo/misc/config-Wed_Apr_30_09_24_48_CEST_2008.bad

In that case there's no obj-y rule connecting all the built-in.o files and
the link tree breaks.

The fix is to add a guaranteed obj-y rule for the core vmlinux to build.
(which results in an empty object file if all media drivers are modular)

5be7a4792a Fix cpuset sched_relax_domain_level control file
Due to a merge conflict, the sched_relax_domain_level control file was marked
as being handled by cpuset_read/write_u64, but the code to handle it was
actually in cpuset_common_file_read/write.

Since the value being written/read is in fact a signed integer, it should be
treated as such; this patch adds cpuset_read/write_s64 functions, and uses
them to handle the sched_relax_domain_level file.

With this patch, the sched_relax_domain_level can be read and written, and the
correct contents seen/updated.

ab69b3cf12 IB/ipath: Fix SDMA error recovery in absence of link status change
What's fixed:

    in ipath_cancel_sends()

        We need to unconditionally set ABORTING.  So, swap the tests
        so the set_bit() isn't shadowed by the &&.

        If we've disarmed the piobufs, then we need to unconditionally
        set DISARMED.  So, move it out from the overly protective if
        at the bottom.

    in sdma_abort_task()

        Abort_task was written knowing that the SDMA engine would always
        be reset (and restarted) on error.  A recent change broke that
        fundamental assumption by taking the restart portion and making
        it conditional on a link status change.  But, SDMA can go boom
        without a link status change in some conditions.

e2ab41cae4 IB/ipath: Need to always request and handle PIO avail interrupts
Now that we always use PIO for vl15 on 7220, we could get stuck forever
if we happened to run out of PIO buffers from the verbs code, because
the setup code wouldn't run; the interrupt was also ignored if SDMA was
supported.  We also have to reduce the pio update threshold if we have
fewer kernel buffers than the existing threshold.

Clean up the initialization a bit to get ordering safer and more
sensible, and use the existing ipath_chg_kernavail call to do init,
rather than doing it separately.

Drop unnecessary clearing of pio buffer on pio parity error.

Drop incorrect updating of pioavailshadow when exitting freeze mode
(software state may not match chip state if buffer has been allocated
and not yet written).

If we couldn't get a kernel buffer for a while, make sure we are
in sync with hardware, mainly to handle the exitting freeze case.

dbaf2c003e block: optimize generic_unplug_device()
Original patch from Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com>

Mike Anderson was doing an OLTP benchmark on a computer with 48 physical
disks mapped to one logical device via device mapper.

He found that there was a slowdown on request_queue->lock in function
generic_unplug_device. The slowdown is caused by the fact that when some
code calls unplug on the device mapper, device mapper calls unplug on all
physical disks. These unplug calls take the lock, find that the queue is
already unplugged, release the lock and exit.

With the below patch, performance of the benchmark was increased by 18%
(the whole OLTP application, not just block layer microbenchmarks).

So I'm submitting this patch for upstream. I think the patch is correct,
because when more threads call simultaneously plug and unplug, it is
unspecified, if the queue is or isn't plugged (so the patch can't make
this worse). And the caller that plugged the queue should unplug it
anyway. (if it doesn't, there's 3ms timeout).

They tend to depend a lot on the workload, so not a clear-cut

7f3d4ee108 vfs: splice remove_suid() cleanup
generic_file_splice_write() duplicates remove_suid() just because it
doesn't hold i_mutex.  But it grabs i_mutex inside splice_from_pipe()
anyway, so this is rather pointless.

Move locking to generic_file_splice_write() and call remove_suid() and
__splice_from_pipe() instead.

07416d29bc cfq-iosched: fix RCU race in the cfq io_context destructor handling
put_io_context() drops the RCU read lock before calling into cfq_dtor(),
however we need to hold off freeing there before grabbing and
dereferencing the first object on the list.

So extend the rcu_read_lock() scope to cover the calling of cfq_dtor(),
and optimize cfq_free_io_context() to use a new variant for
call_for_each_cic() that assumes the RCU read lock is already held.

aa94b5371f block: adjust tagging function queue bit locking
For most initialization purposes, calling blk_queue_init_tags() without
the queue lock held is OK. Only if called for resizing an existing map
must the lock be held. Ditto for tag cleanup, the maps are reference
counted.

So switch the general queue flag setting to the unlocked variant, but
retain the locked variant for resizing.

b499d76bfd [S390] compat ptrace cleanup
This removes redundant arch code for generic ptrace requests
already handled by ptrace_request and compat_ptrace_request.
It simplifies things to just have the standard entry points,
and use the generic compat_sys_ptrace.
