* 'idle-release' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/lenb/linux-idle-2.6:
intel_idle: recognize ARAT on WSM-EX

Cache ownership must be acquired by reading/writing data from the
cache line to make cache operation have the desired effect on the
SMP MPCore CPU. However, the ownership is never acquired in the
v6_dma_inv_range function when cleaning the first line and
flushing the last one, in case the address is not aligned
to D_CACHE_LINE_SIZE boundary.
Fix this by reading/writing data if needed, before performing
cache operations.
While at it, fix v6_dma_flush_range to prevent RWFO outside
the buffer.

Because the nwfpe support is unlikely to be used on new platforms
and requires CONFIG_OABI_COMPAT, which is not generally used with
ARMv7+, we shouldn't expect to build nwfpe support into a Thumb-2
kernel.
At present, nwfpe contains assembly code which isn't Thumb-2
compatible, and for now it doesn't appear useful to port this
code.
All ARMv7-A/R platforms necessarily have VFPv3 hardware floating-
point natively, making emulation unnecessary.

This makes sense, because Thumb-2 code can't execute on plain
ARMv6 processors.
This will avoid accidentally configuring a broken kernel where the
config otherwise would allow multiple architecture versions to
coexist in the same kernel.
Not adding !CPU_V5 etc., because the chance of anyone trying to
put v5 and v7 in the same kernel is low, and I'm not aware of
any mach which can do this. These could be added later if it
matters.
Note that the rules may need to be refined if support for the
ARM1156J(F)-S processor is later added to the kernel, since this
processor supports the rare ARMv6T2 extensions, which add support
for Thumb-2 and a few other ARMv7 features.

Jon Nelson has found a test case which causes postgresql to fail with
the error:
psql:t.sql:4: ERROR: invalid page header in block 38269 of relation base/16384/16581
Under memory pressure, it looks like part of a file can end up getting
replaced by zero's. Until we can figure out the cause, we'll roll
back the change and use block_write_full_page() instead of
ext4_bio_write_page(). The new, more efficient writing function can
be used via the mount option mblk_io_submit, so we can test and fix
the new page I/O code.
To reproduce the problem, install postgres 8.4 or 9.0, and pin enough
memory such that the system just at the end of triggering writeback
before running the following sql script:
begin;
create temporary table foo as select x as a, ARRAY[x] as b FROM
generate_series(1, 10000000 ) AS x;
create index foo_a_idx on foo (a);
create index foo_b_idx on foo USING GIN (b);
rollback;
If the temporary table is created on a hard drive partition which is
encrypted using dm_crypt, then under memory pressure, approximately
30-40% of the time, pgsql will issue the above failure.
This patch should fix this problem, and the problem will come back if
the file system is mounted with the mblk_io_submit mount option.

Running the annotate branch profiler on three boxes, including my
main box that runs firefox, evolution, xchat, and is part of the distcc farm,
showed this with the likelys in the workqueue code:
correct incorrect % Function File Line
------- --------- - -------- ---- ----
96 996253 99 wq_worker_sleeping workqueue.c 703
96 996247 99 wq_worker_waking_up workqueue.c 677
The likely()s in this case were assuming that WORKER_NOT_RUNNING will
most likely be false. But this is not the case. The reason is
(and shown by adding trace_printks and testing it) that most of the time
WORKER_PREP is set.
In worker_thread() we have:
worker_clr_flags(worker, WORKER_PREP);
[ do work stuff ]
worker_set_flags(worker, WORKER_PREP, false);
(that 'false' means not to wake up an idle worker)
The wq_worker_sleeping() is called from schedule when a worker thread
is putting itself to sleep. Which happens most of the time outside
of that [ do work stuff ].
The wq_worker_waking_up is called by the wakeup worker code, which
is also callod outside that [ do work stuff ].
Thus, the likely and unlikely used by those two functions are actually
backwards.
Remove the annotation and let gcc figure it out.

This patch resets the refresh rate differential measurement whenever a

first, wherein the first mode's refresh rate differential is never

The commit 111c182340cd22e238ab1cc6564df336c6ebd7cb (kgdboc: reset
input devices (keyboards) when exiting debugger) introduced a
regression in early debugging such that you get a kernel oops on
continue (with the go command) if you boot a kernel with:
earlyprintk=vga ekgdboc=kbd kgdbwait
The restore kgdboc_restore_input() routine schedules work for the
purpose of sending key release events for any keys that were in the
depressed state prior to entering the kernel debugger. A simple fix
to the crash is to not invoke the schedule_work() if the kernel
system_state is anything other than SYSTEM_RUNNING.

The extent allocator has code that allows us to fill
allocations from any available block group, even if it doesn't
match the raid level we've requested.
This was put in because adding a new drive to a filesystem
made with the default mkfs options actually upgrades the metadata from
single spindle dup to full RAID1.
But, the code also allows us to allocate from a raid0 chunk when we
really want a raid1 or raid10 chunk. This can cause big trouble because
mkfs creates a small (4MB) raid0 chunk for data and metadata which then
goes unused for raid1/raid10 installs.
The allocator will happily wander in and allocate from that chunk when
things get tight, which is not correct.
The fix here is to make sure that we provide duplication when the
caller has asked for it. It does all the dups to be any raid level,
which preserves the dup->raid1 upgrade abilities.

When we mount in RAID degraded mode without adding a new device to
replace the failed one, we can end up using the wrong RAID flags for
allocations.
This results in strange combinations of block groups (raid1 in a raid10
filesystem) and corruptions when we try to allocate blocks from single
spindle chunks on drives that are actually missing.
The first device has two small 4MB chunks in it that mkfs creates and
these are usually unused in a raid1 or raid10 setup. But, in -o degraded,
the allocator will fall back to these because the mask of desired raid groups
isn't correct.
The fix here is to count the missing devices as we build up the list
of devices in the system. This count is used when picking the
raid level to make sure we continue using the same levels that were
in place before we lost a drive.

Fault handling is getting enabled after enabling the interrupt-remapping (as
the success of interrupt-remapping can affect the apic mode and hence the
fault handling mode).
Hence there can potentially be some faults between the window of enabling
interrupt-remapping in the vt-d and the fault-handling of the vt-d units.
Handle any previous faults after enabling the vt-d fault handling.
For v2.6.38 cleanup, need to check if we can remove the dmar_fault() in the
enable_intr_remapping() and see if we can enable fault handling along with
enabling intr-remapping.

Interrupt-remapping gets enabled very early in the boot, as it determines the
apic mode that the processor can use. And the current code enables the vt-d
fault handling before the setup_local_APIC(). And hence the APIC LDR registers
and data structure in the memory may not be initialized. So the vt-d fault
handling in logical xapic/x2apic modes were broken.
Fix this by enabling the vt-d fault handling in the end_local_APIC_setup()
A cleaner fix of enabling fault handling while enabling intr-remapping
will be addressed for v2.6.38. [ Enabling intr-remapping determines the
usage of x2apic mode and the apic mode determines the fault-handling
configuration. ]

On platforms with Intel 7500 chipset, there were some reports of system
hang/NMI's during kexec/kdump in the presence of interrupt-remapping enabled.
During kdump, there is a window where the devices might be still using old
kernel's interrupt information, while the kdump kernel is coming up. This can
cause vt-d faults as the interrupt configuration from the old kernel map to
null IRTE entries in the new kernel etc. (with out interrupt-remapping enabled,
we still have the same issue but in this case we will see benign spurious
interrupt hit the new kernel).
Based on platform config settings, these platforms seem to generate NMI/SMI
when a vt-d fault happens and there were reports that the resulting SMI causes
the system to hang.
Fix it by masking vt-d spec defined errors to platform error reporting logic.
VT-d spec related errors are already handled by the VT-d OS code, so need to
report the same error through other channels.

commit 995bd3bb5 (x86: Hpet: Avoid the comparator readback penalty)
chose 8 HPET cycles as a safe value for the ETIME check, as we had the
confirmation that the posted write to the comparator register is
delayed by two HPET clock cycles on Intel chipsets which showed
readback problems.
After that patch hit mainline we got reports from machines with newer
AMD chipsets which seem to have an even longer delay. See
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1054283 and
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1069458 for further
information.
Boris tried to come up with an ACPI based selection of the minimum
HPET cycles, but this failed on a couple of test machines. And of
course we did not get any useful information from the hardware folks.
For now our only option is to chose a paranoid high and safe value for
the minimum HPET cycles used by the ETIME check. Adjust the minimum ns
value for the HPET clockevent accordingly.

There are still quite a number of MFD and GPIO expander drivers that are
using the old irq_chip APIs that haven't had a chance to update during
the .37 cycle, resulting in allyes/modconfig errors on some
configurations.
Mark Brown has done most of the legwork to get these fixed up in .38,
so this should just be a .37 stop-gap that we can drop at the end of the
.38 merge window.

The current implementation of the v7_coherent_*_range function assumes
that the D and I cache lines have the same size, which is incorrect
architecturally. This patch adds the icache_line_size macro which reads
the CTR register. The main loop in v7_coherent_*_range is split in two
independent loops or the D and I caches. This also has the performance
advantage that the DSB is moved outside the main loop.
