2f4516dbd0 [PATCH] fbcon: constify font data
const-ify the font control structures and data, to make somewhat better
guarantees that these are not modified anywhere in the kernel.
Specifically for a kernel debugger to share this information from the

9db455064d [PATCH] v4l: experimental Sliced VBI API support
Adds all defines, ioctls and structs needed for the sliced VBI API

VBI = Vertical Blank Interval.

It is related with the way TV signals work.  It sends a line, then, it has a
retrace time to allow the tube to move electrons to the beginning of the next
line.  This was the main reason at the beginning of analog B&W TV.

There is a lot of bandwidth lost on VBI.  So, lots of TV systems use it to
send other information such as Closed Captions and Teletext.  Also,
broadcasters uses this as a channel to exchange information from the content
producer to their subsidiaries at each city.

There's already a raw VBI interface on V4L2 api, used for Closed Captions and
Teletext.  The decoding is doing at userlevel space and it is mostly for
analog TV signals, non encoded.

Encoded signals (MPEG, for example), may need also to transmit other
information (like, for example, display aspect, i.e.  4x3, widescreen...).
Sliced VBI interface is a method to allow the video stream to transmit this
kind of information.

0dd28f1dd8 [PATCH] SharpSL: Add new ARM PXA machines Spitz and Borzoi with partial Akita Support
Add the platform support code for two new Sharp Zaurus Models, Spitz
(SL-C3000) and Borzoi (SL-C3100).

This patch also adds most of the foundations for Akita (SL-C1000) Support.
The missing link for Akita is the driver for its I2C io expander.  Once this
has been finished, the missing Kconfig option and machine declaration can
easily be added to this code.

9fc7896b62 [PATCH] SharpSL: Add cxx00 support to the Corgi LCD driver
The same LCD is present on both the Sharp Zaurus c7x0 series and the cxx00 but
with different framebuffer drivers (w100fb vs.  pxafb).  This patch adds
support for the cxx00 series to the LCD driver.  It also adds some LCD to
touchscreen interface logic needed by the touchscreen driver to prevent
interference problems, the idea being to keep all the ugly code in one place
leaving the drivers themselves clean.  sharpsl.h is used to provide the
abstraction.

50a5de4482 [PATCH] SharpSL: Abstract c7x0 specifics from Corgi SSP
Sharp's newer range of Zaurus clamshell handhelds, the cxx00's are similar to
the c7x0 series yet different.  This patch series abstracts the differences
and generates a set of common drivers that support both series of devices.  It
then adds machine support for Spitz (SL-C3000) and Borzoi (SL-C3100).  Hooks
for Akita (SL-C1000) differences are also added.  The I2C driver for its IO
expander is the only missing piece.

This patch:

Separate out the Sharp Zaurus c7x0 series specific code from corgi_ssp.c so
that other models such as the cxx00's can share it.  Create sharpsl.h which
will be used to abstract machine/model specifics.

This enables the driver to be used by the Zaurus cxx00 series.

498d0c5711 [PATCH] set_current_state() commentary
Explain the mysteries of set_current_state().

Quoth Linus:

 The scheduler itself never needs the memory barrier at all.

 The barrier is needed only if the user itself ends up testing some other
 thing afterwards, ie if you have

 	set_process_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE);
 	if (still_need_to_sleep())
 		schedule();

 then the "still_need_to_sleep()" thing may test flags and wakeup events,
 and then you _may_ want to (and often do) make sure that the write of
 TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE is serialized wrt the reads of any wakeup data (since
 the wakeup may have happened on another CPU).

 So the comment is somewhat wrong. We don't really _care_ whether the state
 propagates out to other CPU's since all of our actions are purely local,
 and there is nothing we do that is conditional on any other CPU: we're
 going to sleep unconditionally, and the scheduler only cares about _our_
 state, not about somebody elses state.

e21ce8c7c0 [NETROM]: Implement G8PZT Circuit reset for NET/ROM
NET/ROM is lacking a connection reset like TCP's RST flag which at times
may result in a connecting having to slowly timing out instead of just being
reset.  An earlier attempt to reset the connection by sending a
NR_CONNACK | NR_CHOKE_FLAG transport was inacceptable as it did result in
crashes of BPQ systems.  An alternative approach of introducing a new
transport type 7 (NR_RESET) has be implemented several years ago in
Paula Jayne Dowie G8PZT's Xrouter.

Implement NR_RESET for Linux's NET/ROM but like any messing with the state
engine consider this experimental for now and thus control it by a sysctl
(net.netrom.reset) which for the time being defaults to off.

6e44f12ba6 [PATCH] i386: add memory clobbers to syscall macros
As noted by matz@suse.de

The problem is, that on i386 the syscallN
macro is defined like so:

  long __res; \
  __asm__ volatile ("int $0x80" \
        : "=a" (__res) \
        : "0" (__NR_##name),"b" ((long)(arg1)),"c" ((long)(arg2)), \
          "d" ((long)(arg3)),"S" ((long)(arg4)),"D" ((long)(arg5))); \

If one of the arguments (in the _llseek syscall it's the arg4) is a pointer
which the syscall is expected to write to (to the memory pointed to by this
ptr), then this side-effect is not captured in the asm.

If anyone uses this macro to define it's own version of the syscall
(sometimes necessary when not using glibc) and it's inlined, then GCC
doesn't know that this asm write to "*dest", when called like so for instance:

  out = 1;
  llseek (fd, bla, blubb, &out, trara)
  use (out);

Here nobody tells GCC that "out" actually is written to (just a pointer to it
is passed to the asm).  Hence GCC might (and in the above bug did)
copy-propagate "1" into the second use of "out".

The easiest solution would be to add a "memory" clobber to the definition
of this syscall macro.  As this is a syscall, it shouldn't inhibit too many
optimizations.

2b4a08150e [PATCH] x86-64: Increase TLB flush array size
The generic TLB flush functions kept upto 506 pages per
CPU to avoid too frequent IPIs.

This value was done for the L1 cache of older x86 CPUs,
but with modern CPUs it does not make much sense anymore.
TLB flushing is slow enough that using the L2 cache is fine.

This patch increases the flush array on x86-64 to cache
5350 pages. That is roughly 20MB with 4K pages. It speeds
up large munmaps in multithreaded processes on SMP considerably.

The cost is roughly 42k of memory per CPU, which is reasonable.

I only increased it on x86-64 for now, but it would probably
make sense to increase it everywhere. Embedded architectures
with SMP may keep it smaller to save some memory per CPU.

e5bc8b6baf [PATCH] x86-64: Make remote TLB flush more scalable
Instead of using a global spinlock to protect the state
of the remote TLB flush use a lock and state for each sending CPU.

To tell the receiver where to look for the state use 8 different
call vectors.  Each CPU uses a specific vector to trigger flushes on other
CPUs. Depending on the received vector the target CPUs look into
the right per cpu variable for the flush data.

When the system has more than 8 CPUs they are hashed to the 8 available
vectors. The limited global vector space forces us to this right now.
In future when interrupts are split into per CPU domains this could be
fixed, at the cost of needing more IPIs in flat mode.

Also some minor cleanup in the smp flush code and remove some outdated
debug code.

Requires patch to move cpu_possible_map setup earlier.
