* 'idle-release' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/lenb/linux-idle-2.6:
x86 idle: deprecate mwait_idle() and "idle=mwait" cmdline param
x86 idle: deprecate "no-hlt" cmdline param
x86 idle APM: deprecate CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE
x86 idle floppy: deprecate disable_hlt()

x86 idle: clarify AMD erratum 400 workaround
idle governor: Avoid lock acquisition to read pm_qos before entering idle
cpuidle: menu: fixed wrapping timers at 4.294 seconds
The workaround for AMD erratum 400 uses the term "c1e" falsely suggesting:
1. Intel C1E is somehow involved
2. All AMD processors with C1E are involved
Use the string "amd_c1e" instead of simply "c1e" to clarify that
this workaround is specific to AMD's version of C1E.
Use the string "e400" to clarify that the workaround is specific
to AMD processors with Erratum 400.
This patch is text-substitution only, with no functional change.

setns is an easy system call to wire up. It just takes two ints so I
don't expect any weird architecture porting problems.
While doing this I have noticed that we have some architectures that are
very slow to get new system calls. cris seems to be the slowest where
the last system calls wired up were preadv and pwritev. avr32 is weird
in that recvmmsg was wired up but never declared in unistd.h. frv is
behind with perf_event_open being the last syscall wired up. On h8300
the last system call wired up was epoll_wait. On m32r the last system
call wired up was fallocate. mn10300 has recvmmsg as the last system
call wired up. The rest seem to at least have syncfs wired up which was
new in the 2.6.39.
v2: Most of the architecture support added by Daniel Lezcano <dlezcano@fr.ibm.com>
v3: ported to v2.6.36-rc4 by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com>
v4: Moved wiring up of the system call to another patch
v5: ported to v2.6.39-rc6
v6: rebased onto parisc-next and net-next to avoid syscall conflicts.

Xen tmem provides "hypervisor RAM" as an ephemeral page-oriented

and frontswap pages. Tmem provides enterprise-quality concurrency,
full save/restore and live migration support, compression
and deduplication.

The presense of a writeq() implementation on 32-bit x86 that splits the
64-bit write into two 32-bit writes turns out to break the mpt2sas driver
(and in general is risky for drivers as was discussed in
<http://lkml.kernel.org/r/adaab6c1h7c.fsf@cisco.com>). To fix this,
revert 2c5643b1c5 ("x86: provide readq()/writeq() on 32-bit too") and
follow-on cleanups.
This unfortunately leads to pushing non-atomic definitions of readq() and
write() to various x86-only drivers that in the meantime started using the
definitions in the x86 version of <asm/io.h>. However as discussed
exhaustively, this is actually the right thing to do, because the right
way to split a 64-bit transaction is hardware dependent and therefore
belongs in the hardware driver (eg mpt2sas needs a spinlock to make sure
no other accesses occur in between the two halves of the access).
Build tested on 32- and 64-bit x86 allmodconfig.

SGI UV's uv_tlb.c driver has become rather hard to read, with overly large
functions, non-standard coding style and (way) too long variable, constant
and function names and non-obvious code flow sequences.
This patch improves the readability and maintainability of the driver
significantly, by doing the following strict code cleanups with no side
effects:
- Split long functions into shorter logical functions.
- Shortened some variable and structure member names.
- Added special functions for reads and writes of MMR regs with
very long names.
- Added the 'tunables' table to shortened tunables_write().
- Added the 'stat_description' table to shorten uv_ptc_proc_write().
- Pass fewer 'stat' arguments where it can be derived from the 'bcp'
argument.
- Function definitions consistent on one line, and inline in few (short) cases.
- Moved some small structures and an atomic inline function to the header file.
- Moved some local variables to the blocks where they are used.
- Updated the copyright date.
- Shortened uv_write_global_mmr64() etc. using some aliasing; no
line breaks. Renamed many uv_.. functions that are not exported.
- Aligned structure fields.
[ note that not all structures are aligned the same way though; I'd like
to keep the extensive commenting in some of them. ]
- Shortened some long structure names.
- Standard pass/fail exit from init_per_cpu()
- Vertical alignment for mass initializations.
- More separation between blocks of code.

This patch adds support for a new version of the SGI UV hub
chip. The hub chip is the node controller that connects multiple
blades into a larger coherent SSI.
For the most part, UV2 is compatible with UV1. The majority of
the changes are in the addresses of MMRs and in a few cases, the
contents of MMRs. These changes are the result in changes in the
system topology such as node configuration, processor types,
maximum nodes, physical address sizes, etc.

Variables that are shared between the vdso and the kernel are
currently a bit of a mess. They are each defined with their own
magic, they are accessed differently in the kernel, the vsyscall page,
and the vdso, and one of them (vsyscall_clock) doesn't even really
exist.
This changes them all to use a common mechanism. All of them are
delcared in vvar.h with a fixed address (validated by the linker
script). In the kernel (as before), they look like ordinary
read-write variables. In the vsyscall page and the vdso, they are
accessed through a new macro VVAR, which gives read-only access.
The vdso is now loaded verbatim into memory without any fixups. As a
side bonus, access from the vdso is faster because a level of
indirection is removed.
While we're at it, pack jiffies and vgetcpu_mode into the same
cacheline.

Commit e66eed651f ("list: remove prefetching from regular list

uncovered several cases that had apparently relied on that rather
obscure header file dependency.
So this fixes things up a bit, using
grep -L linux/prefetch.h $(git grep -l '[^a-z_]prefetchw*(' -- '*.[ch]')
grep -L 'prefetchw*(' $(git grep -l 'linux/prefetch.h' -- '*.[ch]')
to guide us in finding files that either need <linux/prefetch.h>
inclusion, or have it despite not needing it.
There are more of them around (mostly network drivers), but this gets
many core ones.
