The second argument of the probe method points to the amba_id
structure, so it's better passed with the correct type. None of the
current in-tree drivers uses the pointer, so they have only been
checked for a clean compile.

pfn_valid() is meant to be able to tell if a given PFN has valid memmap
associated with it or not. In FLATMEM, it is expected that holes always
have valid memmap as long as there is valid PFNs either side of the hole.
In SPARSEMEM, it is assumed that a valid section has a memmap for the
entire section.
However, ARM and maybe other embedded architectures in the future free
memmap backing holes to save memory on the assumption the memmap is never
used. The page_zone linkages are then broken even though pfn_valid()
returns true. A walker of the full memmap must then do this additional
check to ensure the memmap they are looking at is sane by making sure the
zone and PFN linkages are still valid. This is expensive, but walkers of
the full memmap are extremely rare.
This was caught before for FLATMEM and hacked around but it hits again for
SPARSEMEM because the page_zone linkages can look ok where the PFN linkages
are totally screwed. This looks like a hatchet job but the reality is that
any clean solution would end up consumning all the memory saved by punching
these unexpected holes in the memmap. For example, we tried marking the
memmap within the section invalid but the section size exceeds the size of
the hole in most cases so pfn_valid() starts returning false where valid
memmap exists. Shrinking the size of the section would increase memory
consumption offsetting the gains.
This patch identifies when an architecture is punching unexpected holes
in the memmap that the memory model cannot automatically detect and sets
ARCH_HAS_HOLES_MEMORYMODEL. At the moment, this is restricted to EP93xx
which is the model sub-architecture this has been reported on but may expand
later. When set, walkers of the full memmap must call memmap_valid_within()
for each PFN and passing in what it expects the page and zone to be for
that PFN. If it finds the linkages to be broken, it assumes the memmap is
invalid for that PFN.

This patch provides new heuristics for parsing both the form factor and
media rotation rate ATA IDENFITY words.
The reported ATA version must be 7 or greater and the device must return
values defined as valid in the standard. Only then are the
characteristics reported to SCSI via the VPD B1 page.
This seems like a reasonable compromise to me considering that we have
been shipping several kernel releases that key off the rotation rate bit
without any version checking whatsoever. With no complaints so far.

The ioatdma driver was unmapping all regions
(either allocated as page or single) using unmap_page.
This patch lets dma driver recognize if unmap_single or unmap_page should be used.
It introduces two new dma control flags:
DMA_COMPL_SRC_UNMAP_SINGLE and DMA_COMPL_DEST_UNMAP_SINGLE.
They should be set to indicate dma driver to do dma-unmapping as single
(first one for the source, tha latter for the destination).
If respective flag is not set, the driver assumes dma-unmapping as page.

This reverts commit 006f4571a1:
This patch moves platform_data from struct device into
struct platform_device, based on the two ideas:
1. Now all platform_driver is registered by platform_driver_register,
which makes probe()/release()/... of platform_driver passed parameter
of platform_device *, so platform driver can get platform_data from
platform_device;
2. Other kind of devices do not need to use platform_data, we can
decrease size of device if moving it to platform_device.
Taking into consideration of thousands of files to be fixed and they
can't be finished in one night(maybe it will take a long time), so we
keep platform_data in device to allow two kind of cases coexist until
all platform devices pass its platfrom data from
platform_device->platform_data.
All patches to do this kind of conversion are welcome.
As we don't really want to do it, it was a bad idea.

This patch fixes a problem when you use 32 nodes in the cluster
match:
% iptables -I PREROUTING -t mangle -i eth0 -m cluster \
--cluster-total-nodes 32 --cluster-local-node 32 \
--cluster-hash-seed 0xdeadbeef -j MARK --set-mark 0xffff
iptables: Invalid argument. Run `dmesg' for more information.
% dmesg | tail -1
xt_cluster: this node mask cannot be higher than the total number of nodes
The problem is related to this checking:
if (info->node_mask >= (1 << info->total_nodes)) {
printk(KERN_ERR "xt_cluster: this node mask cannot be "
"higher than the total number of nodes\n");
return false;
}
(1 << 32) is 1. Thus, the checking fails.
BTW, I said this before but I insist: I have only tested the cluster
match with 2 nodes getting ~45% extra performance in an active-active setup.
The maximum limit of 32 nodes is still completely arbitrary. I'd really
appreciate if people that have more nodes in their setups let me know.

This introduces a CDC Ethernet Emulation Model (EEM) host side
driver to support USB EEM devices.
EEM is different from the Ethernet Control Model (ECM) currently
supported by the "CDC Ethernet" driver. One key difference is
that it doesn't require of USB interface alternate settings to
manage interface state; some maldesigned hardware can't handle
that part of USB. It also avoids a separate USB interface for
control and status updates.

Because NR_CPUS can be greater than 1000 and meminfo_proc_show() does
not check for underflow.
But NR_CPUS proportional isn't good calculation. In general,
possibility of lock contention is proportional to the number of online
cpus, not theorical maximum cpus (NR_CPUS).
The current kernel has generic percpu-counter stuff. using it is right
way. it makes code simplify and percpu_counter_read_positive() don't
make underflow issue.

This fixes the problem introduced by commit 3bfacef412 (get rid of
special-casing the /sbin/loader on alpha): osf/1 ecoff binary segfaults
when binfmt_aout built as module. That happens because aout binary
handler gets on the top of the binfmt list due to late registration, and
kernel attempts to execute the binary without preparatory work that must
be done by binfmt_loader.
Fixed by changing the registration order of the default binfmt handlers
using list_add_tail() and introducing insert_binfmt() function which
places new handler on the top of the binfmt list. This might be generally
useful for installing arch-specific frontends for default handlers or just
for overriding them.

Current mem_cgroup_shrink_usage() has two problems.
1. It doesn't call mem_cgroup_out_of_memory and doesn't update
last_oom_jiffies, so pagefault_out_of_memory invokes global OOM.
2. Considering hierarchy, shrinking has to be done from the
mem_over_limit, not from the memcg which the page would be charged to.
mem_cgroup_try_charge_swapin() does all of these things properly, so we
use it and call cancel_charge_swapin when it succeeded.
The name of "shrink_usage" is not appropriate for this behavior, so we
change it too.

The x_tables are organized with a table structure and a per-cpu copies
of the counters and rules. On older kernels there was a reader/writer
lock per table which was a performance bottleneck. In 2.6.30-rc, this
was converted to use RCU and the counters/rules which solved the performance
problems for do_table but made replacing rules much slower because of
the necessary RCU grace period.
This version uses a per-cpu set of spinlocks and counters to allow to
table processing to proceed without the cache thrashing of a global
reader lock and keeps the same performance for table updates.

In order to utilize the full power of the new multi-touch devices, a
way to report detailed finger data to user space is needed. This patch
adds a multi-touch (MT) protocol which allows drivers to report details
for an arbitrary number of fingers.
The driver sends a SYN_MT_REPORT event via the input_mt_sync() function
when a complete finger has been reported.
In order to stay compatible with existing applications, the data
reported in a finger packet must not be recognized as single-touch
events. In addition, all finger data must bypass input filtering,
since subsequent events of the same type refer to different fingers.
A set of ABS_MT events with the desired properties are defined. The
events are divided into categories, to allow for partial implementation.
The minimum set consists of ABS_MT_TOUCH_MAJOR, ABS_MT_POSITION_X and
ABS_MT_POSITION_Y, which allows for multiple fingers to be tracked.
If the device supports it, the ABS_MT_WIDTH_MAJOR may be used to provide
the size of the approaching finger. Anisotropy and direction may be
specified with ABS_MT_TOUCH_MINOR, ABS_MT_WIDTH_MINOR and
ABS_MT_ORIENTATION. Devices with more granular information may specify
general shapes as blobs, i.e., as a sequence of rectangular shapes
grouped together by a ABS_MT_BLOB_ID. Finally, the ABS_MT_TOOL_TYPE
may be used to specify whether the touching tool is a finger or a pen.

The integrated button on the new unibody Macbooks presents a need to
report explicit four-finger actions. Evidently, the finger pressing
the button is also touching the trackpad, so in order to fully support
three-finger actions, the driver must be able to report four-finger
actions. This patch adds a new button, BTN_TOOL_QUADTAP, which
achieves this.

In 2.6.25 we added UDP mem accounting.
This unfortunatly added a penalty when a frame is transmitted, since
we have at TX completion time to call sock_wfree() to perform necessary
memory accounting. This calls sock_def_write_space() and utimately
scheduler if any thread is waiting on the socket.
Thread(s) waiting for an incoming frame was scheduled, then had to sleep
again as event was meaningless.
(All threads waiting on a socket are using same sk_sleep anchor)
This adds lot of extra wakeups and increases latencies, as noted
by Christoph Lameter, and slows down softirq handler.
Reference : http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=124060437012283&w=2
Fortunatly, Davide Libenzi recently added concept of keyed wakeups
into kernel, and particularly for sockets (see commit
37e5540b3c
epoll keyed wakeups: make sockets use keyed wakeups)
Davide goal was to optimize epoll, but this new wakeup infrastructure
can help non epoll users as well, if they care to setup an appropriate
handler.
This patch introduces new DEFINE_WAIT_FUNC() helper and uses it
in wait_for_packet(), so that only relevant event can wakeup a thread
blocked in this function.
Trace of function calls from bnx2 TX completion bnx2_poll_work() is :
__kfree_skb()
skb_release_head_state()
sock_wfree()
sock_def_write_space()
__wake_up_sync_key()
__wake_up_common()
receiver_wake_function() : Stops here since thread is waiting for an INPUT

The old refok sections
.text.init.refok
.data.init.refok
.exit.text.refok
have been deprecated since commit
312b1485fb. After the other patches in
this patch series nothing is put in these sections, so clean things up
by eliminating all the remaining references to them.

This patch is preparation for replacing all uses of ".head.text" or
".text.head" in the kernel with macros, so that the section name can
later be changed without having to touch a lot of the kernel.
Since some linker scripts do more complex things than referencing
HEAD_TEXT, we add a HEAD_TEXT_SECTION macro that just contains the
actual name.
I've defined HEAD_TEXT_SECTION in a new header,
include/linux/section-names.h, so that this section name only needs to
appear in one place. I anticipate creating similar macro structures
for a number of other section names.
The long-term goal here is to be able to change the kernel's magic
section names to those that are compatible with -ffunction-sections
-fdata-sections. This requires renaming all magic sections with names
of the form ".text.foo".
