There is a problem in the quirk tables used by tpacpi_is_fw_known() and
tpacpi_check_outdated_fw(), which causes outdated BIOSes that are lacking
the EC firmware ID DMI field to never match.
This breaks module loading on, e.g. a T23 with outdated BIOS, and the
module will refuse to load unless the "force_load=1" parameter is given.
Fix the quirk tables so that they can also match the outdated BIOSes,
which in turn will both fix the module loading, and also warn the user
that he is using outdated firmware and should upgrade.
This fixes a serious regression, introduced by commit
e675abafcc0df38125e6e94a9ba91c92fe774f52, "thinkpad-acpi: be more strict
when detecting a ThinkPad".

_BIF was returning buffer instead of a string since day 1 of ACPI.
Adding a warning for that is noble, but people don't like

Converting some of the scheduler trace events to use the
TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE, DEFINE_EVENT and DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT helped to
save some space:
$ size kernel/sched.o-*
text data bss dec hex filename
79299 6776 2520 88595 15a13 kernel/sched.o-notrace
101941 11896 2584 116421 1c6c5 kernel/sched.o-templ
104779 11896 2584 119259 1d1db kernel/sched.o-trace
sched.o-notrace is without any tracepoints compiled
sched.o-templ is with this patch
sched.o-trace is the tracepoints before this patch
The trace events converted to DEFINE_EVENT:
sched_wakeup, sched_wakeup_new, sched_process_free, sched_process_exit,
and sched_stat_wait.
The trace events converted to DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT:
sched_stat_sleep and sched_stat_iowait.
Note, since the TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE always uses a print, the
sched_stat_wait print format is defined in the template and this
template is used by sched_stat_sleep and sched_stat_iowait. But the
later two override the print format.

After creating the TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE I started to look at other
trace points to see what duplication was made. I noticed that there
are several trace points where they are almost identical except for
the name and the output format. Since TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE was successful
in bringing down the size of trace events, I added a DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT.
DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT is used just like DEFINE_EVENT is. That is, the
DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT also uses a TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE, but it allows the
developer to overwrite the print format. If there are two or more
TRACE_EVENTS that are identical except for the name and print, then
they can be converted to use a TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE. Since the
TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE already does the print output, the first trace event
would have its print format held in the TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE and
be defined with a DEFINE_EVENT. The rest will use the DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT
and override the print format.
Converting the sched trace points to both DEFINE_EVENT and
DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT. Five were converted to DEFINE_EVENT and two were
converted to DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT.
I was able to get the following:
$ size kernel/sched.o-*
text data bss dec hex filename
79299 6776 2520 88595 15a13 kernel/sched.o-notrace
101941 11896 2584 116421 1c6c5 kernel/sched.o-templ
104779 11896 2584 119259 1d1db kernel/sched.o-trace
sched.o-notrace is the scheduler compiled with no trace points.
sched.o-templ is with the use of DEFINE_EVENT and DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT
sched.o-trace is the current trace events.

SMB writes are sent with a starting offset and length. When the server
supports the newer SMB trans2 posix open (rather than using the SMB
NTCreateX) a file can be opened with SMB_O_APPEND flag, and for that
case Samba server assumes that the offset sent in SMBWriteX is unneeded
since the write should go to the end of the file - which can cause
problems if the write was cached (since the beginning part of a
page could be written twice by the client mm). Jeff suggested that
masking the flag on posix open on the client is easiest for the time
being. Note that recent Samba server also had an unrelated problem with
SMB NTCreateX and append (see samba bugzilla bug number 6898) which
should not affect current Linux clients (unless cifs Unix Extensions
are disabled).
The cifs client did not send the O_APPEND flag on posix open
before 2.6.29 so the fix is unneeded on early kernels.
In the future, for the non-cached case (O_DIRECT, and forcedirectio mounts)
it would be possible and useful to send O_APPEND on posix open (for Windows
case: FILE_APPEND_DATA but not FILE_WRITE_DATA on SMB NTCreateX) but for
cached writes although the vfs sets the offset to end of file it
may fragment a write across pages - so we can't send O_APPEND on
open (could result in sending part of a page twice).

There are some places in the kernel that define several tracepoints and
they are all identical besides the name. The code to enable, disable and
record is created for every trace point even if most of the code is
identical.
This patch adds TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE that lets the developer create
a template TRACE_EVENT and create trace points with DEFINE_EVENT, which
is based off of a given template. Each trace point used by this
will share most of the code, and bring down the size of the kernel
when there are several duplicate events.
Usage is:
TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE(name, proto, args, tstruct, assign, print);
Which would be the same as defining a normal TRACE_EVENT.
To create the trace events that the trace points will use:
DEFINE_EVENT(template, name, proto, args) is done. The template
is the name of the TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE to use. The name is the
name of the trace point. The parameters proto and args must be the same
as the proto and args of the template. If they are not the same,
then a compile error will result. I tried hard removing this duplication
but the C preprocessor is not powerful enough (or my CPP magic
experience points is not at a high enough level) to not need them.
A lot of trace events are coming in with new XFS development. Most of
the trace points are identical except for the name. The following shows
the advantage of having TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE:
$ size fs/xfs/xfs.o.*
text data bss dec hex filename
452114 2788 3520 458422 6feb6 fs/xfs/xfs.o.old
638482 38116 3744 680342 a6196 fs/xfs/xfs.o.template
996954 38116 4480 1039550 fdcbe fs/xfs/xfs.o.trace
xfs.o.old is without any tracepoints.
xfs.o.template uses the new TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE.
xfs.o.trace uses the current TRACE_EVENT macros.

RSC and LOM devices have fixed speed settings.
We already had some code to match and handle "rsc" named devices on
E250 systems, but we also have to handle 'rsc-console', 'rsc-control',
and 'lom-console'.
Also, in order to get this right regardless of what 'output-device'
happens to be, explicitly pass the UART device node pointer to this
routine.

This tells the logic to ignore the line match when deciding whether the
device is the OpenFirmware specified console device or not.
This is going to be used in the SU driver for rsc-console detection.
There is probably a better way to handle this, but this is the least
intrusive solution for now which we can validate won't break any other
cases.

Other Sun serial drivers do not do this, and if we keep it this way

In commit 0de51088e6a82bc8413d3ca9e28bbca2788b5b53, we introduced the
use of acpi-cpufreq on VIA/Centaur CPU's by removing a vendor check for
VENDOR_INTEL. However, as it turns out, at least the Nano CPU's also
need the PDC (processor driver capabilities) handshake in order to
activate the methods required for acpi-cpufreq.
Since arch_acpi_processor_init_pdc() contains another vendor check for
Intel, the PDC is not initialized on VIA CPU's. The resulting behavior
of a current mainline kernel on such systems is: acpi-cpufreq
loads and it indicates CPU frequency changes. However, the CPU stays at
a single frequency
This trivial patch ensures that init_intel_pdc() is called on Intel and
VIA/Centaur CPU's alike.

The validate_event() was failing on valid event combinations. The
function was assuming that if x86_schedule_event() returned 0, it
meant error. But x86_schedule_event() returns the counter index and
0 is a perfectly valid value. An error is returned if the function
returns a negative value.
Furthermore, validate_event() was also failing for event groups
because the event->pmu was not set until after
hw_perf_event_init().

On ARMv7, it is invalid to map the same physical address multiple times
with different memory types. Since system RAM is already mapped as
'memory', subsequent remapping of it must retain this attribute.
However, DMA memory maps it as "strongly ordered". Fix this by introducing
'pgprot_dmacoherent()' which provides the necessary page table bits for
DMA mappings.

IXP23xx added support for dma_alloc_coherent() for DMA arches with an
exception in dma_alloc_coherent(). This is a subset of what goes on
in __dma_alloc(), and there is no reason why dma_alloc_writecombine()
should not be given the same treatment (except, maybe, that IXP23xx
doesn't use it.)
We can better deal with this by moving the arch_is_coherent() test
inside __dma_alloc() and killing the code duplication.

We effectively have three implementations of dma_free_coherent() mixed up
in the code; the incoherent MMU, coherent MMU and noMMU versions.
The coherent MMU and noMMU versions are actually functionally identical.
The incoherent MMU version is almost the same, but with the additional
step of unmapping the secondary mapping.
Separate out this additional step into __dma_free_remap() and simplify
