ondemand: Make the iowait-is-busy time a sysfs tunable
Pavel Machek pointed out that not all CPUs have an efficient
idle at high frequency. Specifically, older Intel and various
AMD cpus would get a higher powerusage when copying files from
USB.
Mike Chan pointed out that the same is true for various ARM
chips as well.
Thomas Renninger suggested to make this a sysfs tunable with a
reasonable default.
This patch adds a sysfs tunable for the new behavior, and uses
a very simple function to determine a reasonable default,
depending on the CPU vendor/type.

ondemand: Solve a big performance issue by counting IOWAIT time as busy
The ondemand cpufreq governor uses CPU busy time (e.g. not-idle
time) as a measure for scaling the CPU frequency up or down.
If the CPU is busy, the CPU frequency scales up, if it's idle,
the CPU frequency scales down. Effectively, it uses the CPU busy
time as proxy variable for the more nebulous "how critical is
performance right now" question.
This algorithm falls flat on its face in the light of workloads
where you're alternatingly disk and CPU bound, such as the ever
popular "git grep", but also things like startup of programs and
maildir using email clients... much to the chagarin of Andrew
Morton.
This patch changes the ondemand algorithm to count iowait time
as busy, not idle, time. As shown in the breakdown cases above,
iowait is performance critical often, and by counting iowait,
the proxy variable becomes a more accurate representation of the
"how critical is performance" question.
The problem and fix are both verified with the "perf timechar"
tool.

sched: replace migration_thread with cpu_stop
Currently migration_thread is serving three purposes - migration
pusher, context to execute active_load_balance() and forced context
switcher for expedited RCU synchronize_sched. All three roles are
hardcoded into migration_thread() and determining which job is
scheduled is slightly messy.
This patch kills migration_thread and replaces all three uses with
cpu_stop. The three different roles of migration_thread() are
splitted into three separate cpu_stop callbacks -
migration_cpu_stop(), active_load_balance_cpu_stop() and
synchronize_sched_expedited_cpu_stop() - and each use case now simply
asks cpu_stop to execute the callback as necessary.
synchronize_sched_expedited() was implemented with private
preallocated resources and custom multi-cpu queueing and waiting
logic, both of which are provided by cpu_stop.
synchronize_sched_expedited_count is made atomic and all other shared
resources along with the mutex are dropped.
synchronize_sched_expedited() also implemented a check to detect cases
where not all the callback got executed on their assigned cpus and
fall back to synchronize_sched(). If called with cpu hotplug blocked,
cpu_stop already guarantees that and the condition cannot happen;
otherwise, stop_machine() would break. However, this patch preserves
the paranoid check using a cpumask to record on which cpus the stopper
ran so that it can serve as a bisection point if something actually
goes wrong theree.
Because the internal execution state is no longer visible,
rcu_expedited_torture_stats() is removed.
This patch also renames cpu_stop threads to from "stopper/%d" to
"migration/%d". The names of these threads ultimately don't matter
and there's no reason to make unnecessary userland visible changes.
With this patch applied, stop_machine() and sched now share the same
resources. stop_machine() is faster without wasting any resources and
sched migration users are much cleaner.

stop_machine: reimplement using cpu_stop
Reimplement stop_machine using cpu_stop. As cpu stoppers are
guaranteed to be available for all online cpus,
stop_machine_create/destroy() are no longer necessary and removed.
With resource management and synchronization handled by cpu_stop, the
new implementation is much simpler. Asking the cpu_stop to execute
the stop_cpu() state machine on all online cpus with cpu hotplug
disabled is enough.
stop_machine itself doesn't need to manage any global resources
anymore, so all per-instance information is rolled into struct
stop_machine_data and the mutex and all static data variables are
removed.
The previous implementation created and destroyed RT workqueues as
necessary which made stop_machine() calls highly expensive on very
large machines. According to Dimitri Sivanich, preventing the dynamic
creation/destruction makes booting faster more than twice on very
large machines. cpu_stop resources are preallocated for all online
cpus and should have the same effect.

Implement a simplistic per-cpu maximum priority cpu monopolization
mechanism. A non-sleeping callback can be scheduled to run on one or

scheduler migration_thread which currently is serving multiple
purposes.
Four functions are provided - stop_one_cpu(), stop_one_cpu_nowait(),
stop_cpus() and try_stop_cpus().
This is to allow clean sharing of resources among stop_cpu and all the
migration thread users. One stopper thread per cpu is created which
is currently named "stopper/CPU". This will eventually replace the
migration thread and take on its name.

ACPI _CRS Address Space Descriptors have _MIN, _MAX, and _LEN. Linux has

Per spec (ACPI 4.0, Table 6-40), for _CRS fixed-size, fixed location
descriptors, "_LEN must be (_MAX - _MIN + 1)", and when that's true, it
doesn't matter which way we compute the end. But of course, there are
BIOSes that don't follow this rule, and we're better off if Linux handles
those exceptions the same way as Windows.

net/usb: add sierra_net.c driver
Re-submitted based on comments from netdev community.
Summary of the changes:
1. Improved error handling.
2. Added the missing timeout arguments to usb_control_msg().
The following is a new Linux driver which exposes certain models of Sierra
Wireless modems to the operating system as Network Interface Cards (NICs).
This driver requires a version of the sierra.c driver which supports
blacklisting to work properly. The blacklist in sierra.c rejects the interfaces
claimed by sierra_net.c. Likewise, the sierra_net.c driver only accepts
(i.e. whitelists) the interface(s) used for USB-to-WWAN traffic.
The version of sierra.c which supports blacklisting is
available from the sierra wireless knowledge base page for older kernels. It is
also available in Linux kernel starting from version 2.6.31.
This driver works with all Sierra Wireless devices configured with PID=68A3
like USB305, USB306 provided the corresponding firmware version is I2.0
(for USB305) or M3.0 (for USB306) and later.
This driver will not work with earlier firmware versions than the ones shown
above. In this case the driver will issue an error message indicating
incompatibility and will not serve the device's USB-to-WWAN interface.
Sierra_net.c sits atop a pre-existing Linux driver called usbnet.c.
A series of hook functions are provided in sierra_net.c which are called by
usbnet.c in response to a particular condition such as receipt or transmission
of a data packet. As such, usbnet.c does most of the work of making
a modem appear to the system as a network device and for properly exchanging
traffic between the USB subsystem and the Network card interface.
Sierra_net.c is concerned with managing the data exchanged between the
USB-to-WWAN interface and the upper layers of the operating system.

keys: the request_key() syscall should link an existing key to the dest keyring
The request_key() system call and request_key_and_link() should make a
link from an existing key to the destination keyring (if supplied), not
just from a new key to the destination keyring.
This can be tested by:
ring=`keyctl newring fred @s`
keyctl request2 user debug:a a
keyctl request user debug:a $ring
keyctl list $ring
If it says:
keyring is empty
then it didn't work. If it shows something like:
1 key in keyring: 1070462727: --alswrv 0 0 user: debug:a
then it did.
request_key() system call is meant to recursively search all your keyrings for
the key you desire, and, optionally, if it doesn't exist, call out to userspace
to create one for you.
If request_key() finds or creates a key, it should, optionally, create a link
to that key from the destination keyring specified.
Therefore, if, after a successful call to request_key() with a desination
keyring specified, you see the destination keyring empty, the code didn't work
correctly.
If you see the found key in the keyring, then it did - which is what the patch
is required for.

gpio: fix pca953x set_type 'scheduling while atomic' bug
Bill Gatliff reported the following bug when using the irq_chip facility
of the pca953x driver on a PPC platform:
BUG: scheduling while atomic: insmod/1530/0x00000002
He traced it back to an i2c transaction in pca953x_irq_set_type(), which
can be called with interrupt disabled (from __setup_irq()). As the i2c
controller can sleep while sending a message, this qualifies as a bad
idea.
This patch moves the i2c transaction to pca953x_irq_bus_sync_unlock(),
where it is actually safe to send an i2c message.

The bnx2 driver calls bnx2_netif_stop() to stop the rx handling while

This code path only needs to stop the NAPI rx handling while we are
changing the vlgrp. Since no reset is going to occur, there is no need
to stop cnic in this case. By adding a parameter to bnx2_netif_stop()

the chip dropping the write to unmask the MSI-X vector by the kernel

nfsd4: bug in read_buf
When read_buf is called to move over to the next page in the pagelist
of an NFSv4 request, it sets argp->end to essentially a random
number, certainly not an address within the page which argp->p now
points to. So subsequent calls to READ_BUF will think there is much
more than a page of spare space (the cast to u32 ensures an unsigned
comparison) so we can expect to fall off the end of the second
page.
We never encountered thsi in testing because typically the only
operations which use more than two pages are write-like operations,
which have their own decoding logic. Something like a getattr after a
write may cross a page boundary, but it would be very unusual for it to
cross another boundary after that.
