2008-12-19ACPI: fix 2.6.28 acpi.debug_level regressionBjorn Helgaas
acpi_early_init() was changed to over-write the cmdline param, making it really inconvenient to set debug flags at boot-time. Also, This sets the default level to "info", which is what all the ACPI drivers use. So to enable messages from drivers, you only have to supply the "layer" (a.k.a. "component"). For non-"info" ACPI core and ACPI interpreter messages, you have to supply both level and layer masks, as before.

2008-12-19x86: fix intel x86_64 llc_shared_map/cpu_llc_id anomoliesSuresh Siddha
Impact: fix wrong cache sharing detection on platforms supporting > 8 bit apicid's In the presence of extended topology eumeration leaf 0xb provided by cpuid, 32bit extended initial_apicid in cpuinfo_x86 struct will be updated by detect_extended_topology(). At this instance, we should also reinit the apicid (which could also potentially be extended to 32bit). With out this there will potentially be duplicate apicid's populated in the per cpu's cpuinfo_x86 struct, resulting in wrong cache sharing topology etc detected by init_intel_cacheinfo().

2008-12-19cciss: fix problem that deleting multiple logical drives could cause a panicStephen M. Cameron
Fix problem that deleting multiple logical drives could cause a panic. It fixes a panic which can be easily reproduced in the following way: Just create several "arrays," each with multiple logical drives via hpacucli, then delete the first array, and it will blow up in deregister_disk(), in the call to get_host() when it tries to dig the hba pointer out of a NULL queue pointer.

2008-12-18ucc_geth: Fix IRQ freeing code in ucc_geth_open()Anton Vorontsov
open() routine calls stop() in case of errors, the function will try to free the requested IRQ. But we don't know if it was actually requested, so the code might issue bogus free_irq(0, dev) call.

2008-12-18ucc_geth: Fix TX watchdog timeout handlingAnton Vorontsov
The timeout handling code is currently broken in several ways: - It calls stop() (which frees all the memory and IRQ), and then calls startup() (which won't re-request IRQ, neither it will re-init the Fast UCC structure). - It calls these routines from the softirq context, which is wrong, since stop() calls free_irq() (which might sleep) and startup() allocates things with GFP_KERNEL. - It won't soft-reset the PHY. We need the PHY reset for at least MPC8360E-MDS boards with Marvell 88E1111 PHY, the PHY won't recover from timeouts w/o the reset. So the patch fixes these problems by implementing the workqueue for the timeout handling, and there we fully re-open the device via close() and open() calls. The close/open paths do the right things, and I can see that the driver actually survive the timeouts. Signed-off-by: Anton Vorontsov <avorontsov@ru.mvista.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-12-18ucc_geth: Fix endless loop in stop_{tx,rx} routinesAnton Vorontsov
Currently the routines wait for the various bits w/o an assumption that bits may never get set. When timeouts happen I see that these bits never get set and so the routines hang the kernel. With this patch we'll wait the graceful stop for 100 ms, and then will simply exit. There is nothing* we can do about that, but it's OK since we'll do full reset later. * Well, actually, there is also not-graceful variant for the TX stop, but specs says that we never should use it.

2008-12-18NIU: Implement discard countersJesper Dangaard Brouer
Implementing discard counters for the NIU driver turned out to be more complicated than first assumed. The discard counters for the NIU neptune chip are only 16-bit (even though this is a 64-bit chip). These 16-bit counters can overflow quickly, especially considering this is a 10Gbit/s ethernet card. The overflow indication bit is, unfortunatly, not usable as the counter value does not wrap, but remains at max value 0xFFFF. Resulting in lost counts until the counter is reset. The read and reset scheme also poses a problem. Both in theory and in practice counters can be lost in between reading nr64() and clearing the counter nw64(). For this reason, the number of counter clearings nw64() is limited/reduced. On the fast-path the counters are only syncronized once it exceeds 0x7FFF. When read by userspace, its syncronized fully.

2008-12-18enc28j60: reduce the number of spi transfers in enc28j60_set_bank()Baruch Siach
A major source of overhead in the enc28j60 driver is the SPI transfers. Each SPI transfer entails two kernel thread context switches. One major source of SPI transfers is the enc28j60_set_bank() functions which runs before every register access. This patch reduces the number of SPI transfers that enc28j60_set_bank() performs in two ways: 1. removes unnecessary bank switch for the registers that are present in all banks 2. when switching from banks 0 or 3 to banks 1 or 2 (i.e. only one bit changes) enc28j60_set_bank() does only one SPI transfer instead of two According to my tests these changes reduce the number of SPI transfers in about 25%.

2008-12-19md: Don't read past end of bitmap when reading bitmap.NeilBrown
When we read the write-intent-bitmap off the device, we currently read a whole number of pages. When PAGE_SIZE is 4K, this works due to the alignment we enforce on the superblock and bitmap. When PAGE_SIZE is 64K, this case read past the end-of-device which causes an error. When we write the superblock, we ensure to clip the last page to just be the required size. Copy that code into the read path to just read the required number of sectors. Signed-off-by: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de> Cc: stable@kernel.org

2008-12-18x86: PAT: store vm_pgoff for all linear_over_vma_region mappings - v3venkatesh.pallipadi@intel.com
Impact: Code transformation, new functions added should have no effect. Drivers use mmap followed by pgprot_* and remap_pfn_range or vm_insert_pfn, in order to export reserved memory to userspace. Currently, such mappings are not tracked and hence not kept consistent with other mappings (/dev/mem, pci resource, ioremap) for the sme memory, that may exist in the system. The following patchset adds x86 PAT attribute tracking and untracking for pfnmap related APIs. First three patches in the patchset are changing the generic mm code to fit in this tracking. Last four patches are x86 specific to make things work with x86 PAT code. The patchset aso introduces pgprot_writecombine interface, which gives writecombine mapping when enabled, falling back to pgprot_noncached otherwise. This patch: While working on x86 PAT, we faced some hurdles with trackking remap_pfn_range() regions, as we do not have any information to say whether that PFNMAP mapping is linear for the entire vma range or it is smaller granularity regions within the vma. A simple solution to this is to use vm_pgoff as an indicator for linear mapping over the vma region. Currently, remap_pfn_range only sets vm_pgoff for COW mappings. Below patch changes the logic and sets the vm_pgoff irrespective of COW. This will still not be enough for the case where pfn is zero (vma region mapped to physical address zero). But, for all the other cases, we can look at pfnmap VMAs and say whether the mappng is for the entire vma region or not.

2008-12-18x86: process.c declare c1e_remove_cpu before they get usedJaswinder Singh
Impact: cleanup, avoid sparse warning Included asm/idle.h for c1e_remove_cpu() declaration. Fixes this sparse warning: CHECK arch/x86/kernel/process.c arch/x86/kernel/process.c:284:6: warning: symbol 'c1e_remove_cpu' was not declared. Should it be static?
