If there are frames for a station buffered in
the driver, mac80211 announces those in the TIM
IE but there's no way to release them. Add new
API to release such frames and use it when the
station polls for a frame.
Since the API will soon also be used for uAPSD
it is easily extensible.
Note that before this change drivers announcing
driver-buffered frames in the TIM bit actually
will respond to a PS-Poll with a potentially
lower priority frame (if there are any frames
buffered in mac80211), after this patch a driver
that hasn't been changed will no longer respond
at all. This only affects ath9k, which will need
to be fixed to implement the new API.

For uAPSD support we'll need to have per-AC PS
buffers. As this is a major undertaking, split
the buffers before really adding support for
uAPSD. This already makes some reference to the
uapsd_queues variable, but for now that will
never be non-zero.
Since book-keeping is complicated, also change
the logic for keeping a maximum of frames only
and allow 64 frames per AC (up from 128 for a
station).

For uAPSD implementation, it is necessary to know on
which ACs frames are buffered. mac80211 obviously
knows about the frames it has buffered itself, but
with aggregation many drivers buffer frames. Thus,
mac80211 needs to be informed about this.
For now, since we don't have APSD in any form, this
will unconditionally set the TIM bit for the station
but later with uAPSD only some ACs might cause the
TIM bit to be set.
ath9k is the only driver using this API and I only
modify it in the most basic way, it won't be able
to implement uAPSD with this yet. But it can't do
that anyway since there's no way to selectively
release frames to the peer yet.
Since drivers will buffer frames per TID, let them
inform mac80211 on a per TID basis, mac80211 will
then sort out the AC mapping itself.

When adding a TDLS peer STA, mark it with a new flag in both nl80211 and
mac80211. Before adding a peer, make sure the wiphy supports TDLS and
our operating mode is appropriate (managed).
In addition, make sure all peers are removed on disassociation.
A TDLS peer is first added just before link setup is initiated. In later
setup stages we have more info about peer supported rates, capabilities,
etc. This info is reported via nl80211_set_station().

Register and implement the TDLS cfg80211 callback functions.
Internally prepare and send TDLS management frames. We incorporate
local STA capabilities and supported rates with extra IEs given by
usermode. The resulting packet is either encapsulated in a data frame,
or assembled as an action frame. It is transmitted either directly or
through the AP, as mandated by the TDLS specification.
Declare support for the TDLS external setup wiphy capability. This
tells usermode to handle link setup and discovery on its own, and use the
kernel driver for sending TDLS mgmt packets.

Currently, when hostapd sets the station as authorized
we also overwrite its uAPSD parameter. This obviously
leads to buggy behaviour (later, with my patches that
actually add uAPSD support). To fix this, only apply
those parameters if they were actually set in nl80211,
and to achieve that add a bitmap of things to apply.

overlay_info struct, used to configure overlays, currently includes both
physical and virtual addresses for the pixels. The vaddr was added to
support more exotic configurations where CPU would be used to update a
display, but it is not currently used and there has been no interest in
the feature. Using CPU to update a screen is also less interesting now
that OMAP4 has two LCD outputs.
This patch removes the vaddr field, and modifies the users of omapdss
accordingly. This makes the use of omapdss a bit simpler, as the user
doesn't need to think if it needs to give the vaddr.

This is a driver for N800's display, ported from the old omapfb. This is
a slightly lighter version of the driver as not all features of the old
driver can be ported without big changes to DSS2, and also because some
of the HW features used in the old driver are unclear (e.g. the power
management part).
That said, the new driver works fine for basic use.
Architecturally the driver is not as neat as it could be. N800's display
HW consists of a display buffer chip and a panel, and ideally they would
be represented by separate, independent drivers. This is not currently
possible, and this driver contains both buffer chip and panel driver.

Taal panel driver supports two kinds of backlight control: 1) using DSI
commands sent to the panel to control the backlight, 2) calling function
pointers going to the board file to control the backlight.
The second option is a bit hacky, and will no longer be needed when the
PWM driver supports the backlight features. After that we can use the
standard PWM backlight driver.
This patch removes the second backlight control mechanism, and adds a
boolean field, use_dsi_backlight, to nokia_dsi_panel_data which the
board file can use to inform whether the panel driver should use DSI
commands to control the backlight.

We have currently panel-generic-dpi driver, which is a combined driver
for dummy panels and also for DVI output.
The aim is to split the panel-generic-dpi into two, one for fixed size
dummy panels connected via DPI, and the other (this) for variable
resolution output which supports DDC channel (in practice a DVI framer
chip connected to DPI output).

regn divider is currently programmed to the registers without change,
but when calculating clock frequencies it is used as regn+1.
To make this similar to how DSI handles the dividers this patch changes
the regn value to be used as such for calculations, but the value
programmed to registers is regn-1.
This simplifies the clock frequency calculations, makes it similar to
DSI, and also allows us to use regn value 0 as undefined.

Add initial support for DSI video mode panels:
- Add a new structure omap_dss_dsi_videomode_data in the member "panel" in
omap_dss_device struct. This allows panel driver to configure dsi video_mode
specific parameters.
- Configure basic DSI video mode timing parameters: HBP, HFP, HSA, VBP, VFP, VSA,
TL and VACT.
- Configure DSI protocol engine registers for video_mode support.
- Introduce functions dsi_video_mode_enable() and dsi_video_mode_disable() which
enable/disable video mode for a given virtual channel and a given pixel format
type.
Things left for later
- Add functions to check for errors in video mode timings provided by panel.
- Configure timing registers required for command mode interleaving.

Currently, DSI pixel info is only represented by the pixel size in bits using
the pixel_size parameter in omap_dss_device struct's ctrl member.
This is not sufficient information for DSI video mode usage, as two of the

container size, but different data_type values for the video mode packet header.

the panel is configured for. Create helper function dsi_get_pixel_size() which
returns the pixel size of the given pixel format.

Remove support for non-DISPC overlays and overlay managers.
The support to possibly have non-DISPC overlays and managers was made to
make it possible to use CPU and/or sDMA to update RFBI or DSI command
mode displays. It is ok to remove the support, because:
- No one has used the feature.
- Display update without DISPC is very slow, so it is debatable if the
update would even be usable.
- Removal cleans up code.
- If such a feature is needed later, it is better implemented outside
omapdss driver.

Currently when changing the manager of an overlay, set_manager() directly
calls dispc to set the overlay's destination.
Change this to be more in line with other overlay configurations, and
this will also remove the need to have dispc clocks enabled when calling
set_manager().
A new field is added to overlay struct, "manager_changed". This is
similar to "display_changed" field in manager struct, and is used to
inform apply that the manager has changed and thus write to the
registers is needed.

David reported:
Attached below is a watered-down version of rt/tst-cpuclock2.c from
GLIBC. Just build it with "gcc -o test test.c -lpthread -lrt" or
similar.
Run it several times, and you will see cases where the main thread
will measure a process clock difference before and after the nanosleep
which is smaller than the cpu-burner thread's individual thread clock
difference. This doesn't make any sense since the cpu-burner thread
is part of the top-level process's thread group.
I've reproduced this on both x86-64 and sparc64 (using both 32-bit and
64-bit binaries).
For example:
[davem@boricha build-x86_64-linux]$ ./test
process: before(0.001221967) after(0.498624371) diff(497402404)
thread: before(0.000081692) after(0.498316431) diff(498234739)
self: before(0.001223521) after(0.001240219) diff(16698)
[davem@boricha build-x86_64-linux]$
The diff of 'process' should always be >= the diff of 'thread'.
I make sure to wrap the 'thread' clock measurements the most tightly
around the nanosleep() call, and that the 'process' clock measurements
are the outer-most ones.

This is due to us using p->se.sum_exec_runtime in
thread_group_cputime() where we iterate the thread group and sum all
data. This does not take time since the last schedule operation (tick
or otherwise) into account. We can cure this by using
task_sched_runtime() at the cost of having to take locks.
This also means we can (and must) do away with
thread_group_sched_runtime() since the modified thread_group_cputime()
is now more accurate and would deadlock when called from
thread_group_sched_runtime().
Aside of that it makes the function safe on 32 bit systems. The old
code added t->se.sum_exec_runtime unprotected. sum_exec_runtime is a
64bit value and could be changed on another cpu at the same time.

Allow the xen balloon driver to populate its list of extra pages from
more than one region of memory. This will allow platforms to provide
(for example) a region of low memory and a region of high memory.
The maximum possible number of extra regions is 128 (== E820MAX) which
is quite large so xen_extra_mem is placed in __initdata. This is safe
as both xen_memory_setup() and balloon_init() are in __init.
The balloon regions themselves are not altered (i.e., there is still

In xen_memory_setup() pages that occur in gaps in the memory map are
released back to Xen. This reduces the domain's current page count in
the hypervisor. The Xen balloon driver does not correctly decrease
its initial current_pages count to reflect this. If 'delta' pages are
released and the target is adjusted the resulting reservation is
always 'delta' less than the requested target.
This affects dom0 if the initial allocation of pages overlaps the PCI
memory region but won't affect most domU guests that have been setup
with pseudo-physical memory maps that don't have gaps.
Fix this by accouting for the released pages when starting the balloon
driver.
If the domain's targets are managed by xapi, the domain may eventually
run out of memory and die because xapi currently gets its target
calculations wrong and whenever it is restarted it always reduces the
target by 'delta'.

If we want to use granted pages for AIO, changing the mappings of a user
vma and the corresponding p2m is not enough, we also need to update the
kernel mappings accordingly.
Currently this is only needed for pages that are created for user usages
through /dev/xen/gntdev. As in, pages that have been in use by the
kernel and use the P2M will not need this special mapping.
However there are no guarantees that in the future the kernel won't
start accessing pages through the 1:1 even for internal usage.
In order to avoid the complexity of dealing with highmem, we allocated
the pages lowmem.
We issue a HYPERVISOR_grant_table_op right away in
m2p_add_override and we remove the mappings using another
HYPERVISOR_grant_table_op in m2p_remove_override.
Considering that m2p_add_override and m2p_remove_override are called
once per page we use multicalls and hypercall batching.
Use the kmap_op pointer directly as argument to do the mapping as it is
guaranteed to be present up until the unmapping is done.
Before issuing any unmapping multicalls, we need to make sure that the
mapping has already being done, because we need the kmap->handle to be
set correctly.

Recent changes to gcc give warning messages on rcu_assign_pointers()'s
checks that allow it to determine when it is OK to omit the memory
barrier. Stephen Hemminger tried a number of gcc tricks to silence
this warning, but #pragmas and CPP macros do not work together in the
way that would be required to make this work.
However, we now have RCU_INIT_POINTER(), which already omits this
memory barrier, and which therefore may be used when assigning NULL to
an RCU-protected pointer that is accessible to readers. This commit
therefore makes rcu_assign_pointer() unconditionally emit the memory
barrier.

The rcu_dereference_bh_protected() and rcu_dereference_sched_protected()
macros are synonyms for rcu_dereference_protected() and are not used
anywhere in mainline. This commit therefore removes them.

Add trace events to record grace-period start and end, quiescent states,
CPUs noticing grace-period start and end, grace-period initialization,
call_rcu() invocation, tasks blocking in RCU read-side critical sections,
tasks exiting those same critical sections, force_quiescent_state()
detection of dyntick-idle and offline CPUs, CPUs entering and leaving
dyntick-idle mode (except from NMIs), CPUs coming online and going
offline, and CPUs being kicked for staying in dyntick-idle mode for too
long (as in many weeks, even on 32-bit systems).

rcu: Add the rcu flavor to callback trace events
The earlier trace events for registering RCU callbacks and for invoking
them did not include the RCU flavor (rcu_bh, rcu_preempt, or rcu_sched).
This commit adds the RCU flavor to those trace events.

This patch #ifdefs TINY_RCU kthreads out of the kernel unless RCU_BOOST=y,
thus eliminating context-switch overhead if RCU priority boosting has
not been configured.

Add a string to the rcu_batch_start() and rcu_batch_end() trace
messages that indicates the RCU type ("rcu_sched", "rcu_bh", or
"rcu_preempt"). The trace messages for the actual invocations
themselves are not marked, as it should be clear from the
rcu_batch_start() and rcu_batch_end() events before and after.

This commit adds the trace_rcu_utilization() marker that is to be
used to allow postprocessing scripts compute RCU's CPU utilization,
give or take event-trace overhead. Note that we do not include RCU's
dyntick-idle interface because event tracing requires RCU protection,
which is not available in dyntick-idle mode.

There was recently some controversy about the overhead of invoking RCU
callbacks. Add TRACE_EVENT()s to obtain fine-grained timings for the
start and stop of a batch of callbacks and also for each callback invoked.
