98f6740ea6 [POWERPC] Convert therm_windtunnel.c to use the kthread API
This is fairly straightforward, and lets us get rid of x.completion
as well.

39d183d877 [POWERPC] Convert therm_pm72.c to use the kthread API
This converts the therm_pm72.c driver to use the kthread API.  I
thought about making it use kthread_stop() instead of the `state'
variable and the `ctrl_complete' completion, but that isn't simple and
will require changing the way that `state' is used.

c61dace9a1 [POWERPC] Convert adb.c to use kthread API and not spin on ADB requests
This converts adb.c to use the kthread API.

It also changes adb_request so that if the ADBREQ_SYNC flag is
specified, we now sleep waiting for the request to finish using an
on-stack completion rather than spinning.  To implement this, we now
require that if the ADBREQ_SYNC flag is set, the `done' parameter must
be NULL.  All of the existing callers of adb_request that pass
ADBREQ_SYNC appear to be in process context and have done == NULL.
Doing this allows us to get rid of an awful hack in adb_request()
where we used to test whether the request was coming from the adb
probe task and use a completion if it was, and otherwise spin.

This also gets rid of a static request block that was used if the req
parameter to adb_request was NULL.  None of the callers do that any
more, so the static request block is no longer necessary.

aec103bfa6 [IA64] Avoid unnecessary TLB flushes when allocating memory
Improve performance of memory allocations on ia64 by avoiding a global TLB
purge to purge a single page from the file cache. This happens whenever we
evict a page from the buffer cache to make room for some other allocation.

Test case: Run 'find /usr -type f | xargs cat > /dev/null' in the
background to fill the buffer cache, then run something that uses memory,
e.g. 'gmake -j50 install'. Instrumentation showed that the number of
global TLB purges went from a few millions down to about 170 over a 12
hours run of the above.

The performance impact is particularly noticeable under virtualization,
because a virtual TLB is generally both larger and slower to purge than
a physical one.

Currently, the SPU context switch code (spufs/switch.c) sets up the
SPU's SLBs directly, which requires some low-level mm stuff.

This change moves the kernel SLB setup to spu_base.c, by exposing

to remove the low-level mm code from switch.c, making it possible
to later move switch.c to the spufs module.

Also, add a struct spu_slb for the cases where we need to deal with

29641ce165 [POWERPC] perfmon2: make pm_interval register read/write
The pm_interval register in the Cell PMU is read/write, but was implemented in
the kernel as write-only. Previously, the written value was saved in a "shadow"
copy so calls to cbe_read_pm() could return the value.

Perfmon2 needs to be able to read the current values of pm_interval, so change
cbe_read_pm() to read the actual register instead of the "shadow" copy. There
is currently no code in the kernel that tries to read the pm_interval register
with cbe_read_pm() (expecting to receive the "shadow" value), so this should
not break any existing code.

4aae070252 x86: fix "Kernel panic - not syncing: IO-APIC + timer doesn't work!"
this is the tale of a full day spent debugging an ancient but elusive bug.

after booting up thousands of random .config kernels, i finally happened
to generate a .config that produced the following rare bootup failure
on 32-bit x86:

| ..TIMER: vector=0x31 apic1=0 pin1=2 apic2=-1 pin2=-1
| ..MP-BIOS bug: 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC
| ...trying to set up timer (IRQ0) through the 8259A ...  failed.
| ...trying to set up timer as Virtual Wire IRQ... failed.
| ...trying to set up timer as ExtINT IRQ... failed :(.
| Kernel panic - not syncing: IO-APIC + timer doesn't work!  Boot with apic=debug
| and send a report.  Then try booting with the 'noapic' option

this bug has been reported many times during the years, but it was never
reproduced nor fixed.

the bug that i hit was extremely sensitive to .config details.

First i did a .config-bisection - suspecting some .config detail.
That led to CONFIG_X86_MCE: enabling X86_MCE magically made the bug disappear
and the system would boot up just fine.

Debugging my way through the MCE code ended up identifying two unlikely
candidates: the thing that made a real difference to the hang was that
X86_MCE did two printks:

 Intel machine check architecture supported.
 Intel machine check reporting enabled on CPU#1.

Adding the same printks to a !CONFIG_X86_MCE kernel made the bug go away!

this left timing as the main suspect: i experimented with adding various
udelay()s to the arch/x86/kernel/io_apic_32.c:check_timer() function, and
the race window turned out to be narrower than 30 microseconds (!).

That made debugging especially funny, debugging without having printk
ability before the bug hits is ... interesting ;-)

eventually i started suspecting IRQ activities - those are pretty much the
only thing that happen this early during bootup and have the timescale of
a few dozen microseconds. Also, check_timer() changes the IRQ hardware
in various creative ways, so the main candidate became IRQ0 interaction.

i've added a counter to track timer irqs (on which core they arrived, at
what exact time, etc.) and found that no timer IRQ would arrive after the
bug condition hits - even if we re-enable IRQ0 and re-initialize the i8259A,
but that we'd get a small number of timer irqs right around the time when we
call the check_timer() function.

Eventually i got the following backtrace triggered from debug code in the
timer interrupt:

...trying to set up timer as Virtual Wire IRQ... failed.
...trying to set up timer as ExtINT IRQ...

  [<c05f5784>] setup_IO_APIC+0x9c3/0xc5c

the spin_unlock() was called from init_8259A(). Wait ... we have an IRQ0
entry while we are in the middle of setting up the local APIC, the i8259A
and the PIT??

That is certainly not how it's supposed to work! check_timer() was supposed
to be called with irqs turned off - but this eroded away sometime in the
past. This code would still work most of the time because this code runs
very quickly, but just the right timing conditions are present and IRQ0
hits in this small, ~30 usecs window, timer irqs stop and the system does
not boot up. Also, given how early this is during bootup, the hang is
very deterministic - but it would only occur on certain machines (and
certain configs).

The fix was quite simple: disable/restore interrupts properly in this
function. With that in place the test-system now boots up just fine.

(64-bit x86 io_apic_64.c had the same bug.)

Phew! One down, only 1500 other kernel bugs are left ;-)

971e5b35fb genirq: revert lazy irq disable for simple irqs
In commit 76d2160147 lazy irq disabling
was implemented, and the simple irq handler had a masking set to it.

Remy Bohmer discovered that some devices in the ARM architecture
would trigger the mask, but never unmask it. His patch to do the
unmasking was questioned by Russell King about masking simple irqs
to begin with. Looking further, it was discovered that the problems
Remy was seeing was due to improper use of the simple handler by
devices, and he later submitted patches to fix those. But the issue
that was uncovered was that the simple handler should never mask.

This patch reverts the masking in the simple handler.

The normal set_irq_handler() call cannot be used because it tries to
take irq_desc.lock which is already held when the irq_chip.set_type
hook is called.

cdc6f27d9e clockevents: fix reprogramming decision in oneshot broadcast
Resolve the following regression of a choppy, almost unusable laptop:

 http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/12/7/299
 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9525

A previous version of the code did the reprogramming of the broadcast
device in the return from idle code. This was removed, but the logic in
tick_handle_oneshot_broadcast() was kept the same.

When a broadcast interrupt happens we signal the expiry to all CPUs
which have an expired event. If none of the CPUs has an expired event,
which can happen in dyntick mode, then we reprogram the broadcast
device. We do not reprogram otherwise, but this is only correct if all
CPUs, which are in the idle broadcast state have been woken up.

The code ignores, that there might be pending not yet expired events on
other CPUs, which are in the idle broadcast state. So the delivery of
those events can be delayed for quite a time.

Change the tick_handle_oneshot_broadcast() function to check for CPUs,
which are in broadcast state and are not woken up by the current event,
and enforce the rearming of the broadcast device for those CPUs.

6cbf1c126c sched: do not hurt SCHED_BATCH on wakeup
measurements by Yanmin Zhang have shown that SCHED_BATCH tasks benefit
if they run the same place_entity() logic as SCHED_OTHER tasks - so
uniformize behavior in this area.

This is incorrect since proc_dointvec_minmax() expects plain "int" guard

c7af77b584 sched: mark rwsem functions as __sched for wchan/profiling
This following commit

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=fdf8cb0909b531f9ae8f9b9d7e4eb35ba3505f07

un-inlined a low-level rwsem function, but did not mark it as __sched.
The result is that it now shows up as thread wchan (which also affects
/proc/profile stats).  The following simple patch fixes this by properly
marking rwsem_down_failed_common() as a __sched function.

Also in this patch, which is up for discussion, marks down_read() and
down_write() proper as __sched.  For profiling, it is pretty much
useless to know that a semaphore is beig help - it is necessary to know
_which_ one.  By going up another frame on the stack, the information
becomes much more useful.

In summary, the below change to lib/rwsem.c should be applied; the
changes to kernel/rwsem.c could be applied if other kernel hackers agree
with my proposal that down_read()/down_write() in the profile is not
enough.

051a1d1afa sched: fix crash on ia64, introduce task_current()
Some services (e.g. sched_setscheduler(), rt_mutex_setprio() and
sched_move_task()) must handle a given task differently in case it's the
'rq->curr' task on its run-queue. The task_running() interface is not
suitable for determining such tasks for platforms with one of the
following options:

#define __ARCH_WANT_UNLOCKED_CTXSW
#define __ARCH_WANT_INTERRUPTS_ON_CTXSW

Due to the fact that it makes use of 'p->oncpu == 1' as a criterion but
such a task is not necessarily 'rq->curr'.

The detailed explanation is available here:
