Revert commit 54672386ccf36ffa21d1de8e75624af83f9b0eeb
"firewire: ohci: fix up configuration of TI chips".
It caused massive slow-down and data corruption with a TSB82AA2 based
StarTech EC1394B2 ExpressCard and FireWire 800 harddisks.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/657081
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.firewire.user/4013
The fact that some card EEPROMs do not program these enhancements may be
related to TSB81BA3 phy chip errata, if not to bugs of TSB82AA2 itself.
We could re-add these configuration steps, but only conditional on a
whitelist of cards on which these enhancements bring a proven positive
effect.

When a driver module is unloaded and the last still open file is a raw
MIDI device, the card and its devices will be actually freed in the
snd_card_file_remove() call when that file is closed. Afterwards, rmidi
and rmidi->card point into freed memory, so the module pointer is likely
to be garbage.

SoCs have a standard set of tuples consisting of frequency and
voltage pairs that the device will support per voltage domain. These
are called Operating Performance Points or OPPs. The actual
definitions of OPP varies over silicon versions. For a specific domain,
we can have a set of {frequency, voltage} pairs. As the kernel boots
and more information is available, a default set of these are activated
based on the precise nature of device. Further on operation, based on
conditions prevailing in the system (such as temperature), some OPP
availability may be temporarily controlled by the SoC frameworks.
To implement an OPP, some sort of power management support is necessary
hence this library depends on CONFIG_PM.

If the device which fails to resume is part of a loadable kernel module
it won't be checked at startup against the magic number stored in the
RTC.
Add a read-only sysfs attribute /sys/power/pm_trace_dev_match which
contains a list of newline separated devices (usually just the one)
which currently match the last magic number. This allows the device
which is failing to resume to be found after the modules are loaded
again.

Lock the PM device list mutex using device_pm_lock() and
device_pm_unlock() around the list iteration in show_dev_hash().
show_dev_hash() was reverse iterating dpm_list without first locking the
mutex that the functions in drivers/base/power/main.c lock. I assume
this was unintentional since there is no comment suggesting why the lock
might not be necessary.

If runtime suspend of a device fails returning -EAGAIN or -EBUSY,
which means that it's safe to try to suspend it again, the PM core
runs the runtime idle helper function for it. Unfortunately this may
lead to problems, for example for PCI devices whose drivers don't
implement the ->runtime_idle() callback, because in that case the
PCI bus type's ->runtime_idle() always calls pm_runtime_suspend()
for the given device. Then, if there's an automatic idle
notification after the driver's ->runtime_suspend() returning -EAGAIN
or -EBUSY, it will make the suspend happen again possibly causing a
busy loop to appear. To avoid that, remove the idle notification
after failing runtime suspend of a device altogether and let the
callers of pm_runtime_suspend() repeat the operation if need be.

If there is a wakeup event during the freezing of tasks, suspend or
hibernation will fail anyway. Since try_to_freeze_tasks() can take
up to 20 seconds to complete or fail, aborting it as soon as a wakeup
event is detected improves the worst case wakeup latency.

The hibernate resume code checks if there is an image to resume from
on every boot and, if the kernel is built with CONFIG_PM_DEBUG set
and the image is not present, it prints some scary messages
suggesting there was a boot error of some sort. Apparently, some
users are confused by them, so make them look less scary and adjust
the other hibernate resume debug messages to match them.

This patch (as1427) implements the "autosuspend" facility for runtime
PM. A few new fields are added to the dev_pm_info structure and
several new PM helper functions are defined, for telling the PM core
whether or not a device uses autosuspend, for setting the autosuspend
delay, and for marking periods of device activity.
Drivers that do not want to use autosuspend can continue using the
same helper functions as before; their behavior will not change. In
addition, drivers supporting autosuspend can also call the old helper
functions to get the old behavior.
The details are all explained in Documentation/power/runtime_pm.txt
and Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-devices-power.

Some devices, such as USB interfaces, cannot be power-managed
independently of their parents, i.e., they cannot be put in low power
while the parent remains at full power. This patch (as1425) creates a
new "no_callbacks" flag, which tells the PM core not to invoke the
runtime-PM callback routines for the such devices but instead to
assume that the callbacks always succeed. In addition, the
non-debugging runtime-PM sysfs attributes for the devices are removed,
since they are pretty much meaningless.
The advantage of this scheme comes not so much from avoiding the
callbacks themselves, but rather from the fact that without the need
for a process context in which to run the callbacks, more work can be
done in interrupt context.

This patch (as1424) combines the various public entry points for the
runtime PM routines into three simple functions: one for idle, one for
suspend, and one for resume. A new bitflag specifies whether or not
to increment or decrement the usage_count field.
The new entry points are named __pm_runtime_idle,
__pm_runtime_suspend, and __pm_runtime_resume, to reflect that they
are trampolines. Simultaneously, the corresponding internal routines
are renamed to rpm_idle, rpm_suspend, and rpm_resume.

This patch (as1423) merges the asynchronous routines
__pm_request_idle(), __pm_request_suspend(), and __pm_request_resume()
with their synchronous counterparts. The RPM_ASYNC bitflag argument
serves to indicate what sort of operation to perform.
In the course of performing this merger, it became apparent that the
various functions don't all behave consistenly with regard to error
reporting and cancellation of outstanding requests. A new routine,
rpm_check_suspend_allowed(), was written to centralize much of the
testing, and the other functions were revised to follow a simple
algorithm:
If the operation is disallowed because of the device's
settings or current state, return an error.
Cancel pending or scheduled requests of lower priority.
Schedule, queue, or perform the desired operation.
A few special cases and exceptions are noted in comments.

The "from_wq" argument in __pm_runtime_suspend() and
__pm_runtime_resume() supposedly indicates whether or not the function
was called by the PM workqueue thread, but in fact it isn't always
used this way. It really indicates whether or not the function should
return early if the requested operation is already in progress.
Along with this badly-named boolean argument, later patches in this
series will add several other boolean arguments to these functions and
others. Therefore this patch (as1422) begins the conversion process
by replacing from_wq with a bitflag argument. The same bitflags are
also used in __pm_runtime_get() and __pm_runtime_put(), where they
indicate whether or not the operation should be asynchronous.

There is a potential issue with the asynchronous suspend code that
a device driver suspending asynchronously may not notice that it
should back off. There are two failing scenarions, (1) when the
driver is waiting for a driver suspending synchronously to complete
and that second driver returns error code, in which case async_error
won't be set and the waiting driver will continue suspending and (2)
after the driver has called device_pm_wait_for_dev() and the waited
for driver returns error code, in which case the caller of
device_pm_wait_for_dev() will not know that there was an error and
will continue suspending.
To fix this issue make __device_suspend() set async_error, so
async_suspend() doesn't need to set it any more, and make
device_pm_wait_for_dev() return async_error, so that its callers
can check whether or not they should continue suspending.
No more changes are necessary, since device_pm_wait_for_dev() is
not used by any drivers' suspend routines.

Introduce struct wakeup_source for representing system wakeup sources
within the kernel and for collecting statistics related to them.
Make the recently introduced helper functions pm_wakeup_event(),
pm_stay_awake() and pm_relax() use struct wakeup_source objects
internally, so that wakeup statistics associated with wakeup devices
can be collected and reported in a consistent way (the definition of
pm_relax() is changed, which is harmless, because this function is
not called directly by anyone yet). Introduce new wakeup-related
sysfs device attributes in /sys/devices/.../power for reporting the
device wakeup statistics.
Change the global wakeup events counters event_count and
events_in_progress into atomic variables, so that it is not necessary
to acquire a global spinlock in pm_wakeup_event(), pm_stay_awake()
and pm_relax(), which should allow us to avoid lock contention in
these functions on SMP systems with many wakeup devices.

commit b30973f877 (node-aware skb allocation) spread a wrong habit of
allocating net drivers skbs on a given memory node : The one closest to
the NIC hardware. This is wrong because as soon as we try to scale
network stack, we need to use many cpus to handle traffic and hit
slub/slab management on cross-node allocations/frees when these cpus
have to alloc/free skbs bound to a central node.
skb allocated in RX path are ephemeral, they have a very short
lifetime : Extra cost to maintain NUMA affinity is too expensive. What
appeared as a nice idea four years ago is in fact a bad one.
In 2010, NIC hardwares are multiqueue, or we use RPS to spread the load,
and two 10Gb NIC might deliver more than 28 million packets per second,
needing all the available cpus.
Cost of cross-node handling in network and vm stacks outperforms the
small benefit hardware had when doing its DMA transfert in its 'local'
memory node at RX time. Even trying to differentiate the two allocations
done for one skb (the sk_buff on local node, the data part on NIC
hardware node) is not enough to bring good performance.

Using standard skb allocations in r8169 leads to order-3 allocations (if
PAGE_SIZE=4096), because NIC needs 16383 bytes, and skb overhead makes
this bigger than 16384 -> 32768 bytes per "skb"
Using kmalloc() permits to reduce memory requirements of one r8169 nic
by 4Mbytes. (256 frames * 16Kbytes). This is fine since a hardware bug
requires us to copy incoming frames, so we build real skb when doing
this copy.
