This is the last traces of pausing I/O that we had back some
twenty years ago. Probably was only required for 8MHz ISA
cards running "on the edge" at 12MHz. Anyway it hasn't been
in use for years, so lets just bury it for good.

Commit f0fbf0abc093 ("x86: integrate delay functions") converted
delay_tsc() into a random delay generator for 64 bit. The reason is
that it merged the mostly identical versions of delay_32.c and
delay_64.c. Though the subtle difference of the result was:
static void delay_tsc(unsigned long loops)
{
- unsigned bclock, now;
+ unsigned long bclock, now;
Now the function uses rdtscl() which returns the lower 32bit of the
TSC. On 32bit that's not problematic as unsigned long is 32bit. On 64
bit this fails when the lower 32bit are close to wrap around when
bclock is read, because the following check
if ((now - bclock) >= loops)
break;
evaluated to true on 64bit for e.g. bclock = 0xffffffff and now = 0
because the unsigned long (now - bclock) of these values results in
0xffffffff00000001 which is definitely larger than the loops
value. That explains Tvortkos observation:
"Because I am seeing udelay(500) (_occasionally_) being short, and
that by delaying for some duration between 0us (yep) and 491us."
Make those variables explicitely u32 again, so this works for both 32
and 64 bit.

For cases where boards with non-default clocks are not yet added to the kernel
or when the clock varies across hardware revisions, it is useful to be
able to specify the UART clock on the kernel command line.
Add the user_uartclk parameter and prefer it, if set, to the default and
board specific UART clock settings. Specify user_uartclock on the command-line
with "pch_uart.user_uartclk=48000000".

Add support for the Fish River Island II (FRI2) UART clock following the CM-iTC
quirk handling mechanism. Depending on the firmware installed on the device, the
FRI2 uses a 48MHz or a 64MHz UART clock. This is detected with DMI strings.
Add similar UART clock quirk handling to the pch_console_setup() function to
enable kernel messages on boards with non-standard UART clocks.
Per Alan's suggestion, abstract out UART clock selection into
pch_uart_get_uartclk() to avoid code duplication.

The term "base baud" refers to the fastest baud rate the device can communicate

When the driver is changed to use vmaster or a new slave element is
added by the improvement of the parser code, user may face often the
silent output because of the muted slave mixer although Master volume
is properly set. And they complain. And I get upset.
Although such a mixer element should be initialized via "alsactl init",
it'd be more user-friendly if the known output slaves are unmuted and
set to 0dB so that user can control the volume only with Master as
default. Since Master is still set muted as default even with this
change, no risk of the speaker blow up, too.

in iwlwifi: move setting up fw parameters
Meenakshi moved code up to configure the transport layer, but this
code read the sku before it was set (from the EEPROM). This killed
P2P.
Only the ucode_flags are needed to configure the transport layer, not
the sku which _must_ be set after the EEPROM is read.
We need to reconfigure the transport in case the EEPROM disabled PAN
support. This is not the nicest thing to do, but we have no choice.
Document that we are allowed to configure the transport several times
before start_fw, but not after.

Currently IRQTF_DIED flag is set when a IRQ thread handler calls do_exit()
But also PF_EXITING per process flag gets set when a thread exits. This
fix eliminates the duplicate by using PF_EXITING flag.
Also, there is a race condition in exit_irq_thread(). In case a thread's
bit is cleared in desc->threads_oneshot (and the IRQ line gets unmasked),
but before IRQTF_DIED flag is set, a new interrupt might come in and set
just cleared bit again, this time forever. This fix throws IRQTF_DIED flag
away, eliminating the race as a result.

When a new thread handler is created, an irqaction is passed to it as
data. Not only that irqaction is stored in task_struct by the handler
for later use, but also a structure associated with the kernel thread
keeps this value as long as the thread exists.
This fix kicks irqaction out off task_struct. Yes, I introduce new bit
field. But it allows not only to eliminate the duplicate, but also
shortens size of task_struct.

gfs2_fallocate was calling gfs2_write_alloc_required() once at the start of
the function. This caused problems since gfs2_write_alloc_required used a
long unsigned int for the len, but gfs2_fallocate could allocate a much
larger amount. This patch will move the call into the loop where the
chunks are actually allocated and zeroed out. This will keep the allocation
size under the limit, and also allow gfs2_fallocate to quickly skip over
sections of the file that are already completely allocated.
fallcate_chunk was also not correctly setting the file size. It was using the
len veriable to find the last block written to, but by the time it was setting
the size, the len variable had already been decremented to 0.

This patch chanegs the logic of the -b, --branch-stack options
of perf record.
Based on users' request, the patch provides a default filter

any type of taken branches is sampled.
With -j (or --branch-filter), the user can specify any
valid combination of branch types and privilege levels
if supported by the underlying hardware.
The -b (--branch any) is a shortcut for: --branch-filter any.
$ perf record -b foo
or:
$ perf record --branch-filter any foo
For more specific filtering:
$ perf record --branch-filter ind_call,u foo

This patches provides a way to handle legacy perf.data
files. Legacy files are those using the older PERFFILE
signature.
For those, it is still necessary to detect endianness but
without comparing their header->attr_size with the
tool's own version as it may be different. Instead, we use
a reference table for all known sizes from the legacy era.
We try all the combinations for sizes and endianness. If we find
a match, we proceed, otherwise we return: "incompatible file
format".
This is also done for the pipe-mode file format.

This patch allows perf to process perf.data files generated
using an ABI that has a different perf_event_attr struct size,
i.e., a different ABI version.
The perf_event_attr can be extended, yet perf needs to cope with
older perf.data files. Similarly, perf must be able to cope with
a perf.data file which is using a newer version of the ABI than
what it knows about.
This patch adds read_attr(), a routine that reads a
perf_event_attr struct from a file incrementally based on its
advertised size. If the on-file struct is smaller than what perf
knows, then the extra fields are zeroed. If the on-file struct
