This implements a simple subsystem for the OMAP serial tracing interface,

There's a few things implemented in this patch:
- STI console support
- STI netlink support
- STI RX FIFO support
In addition to this, we also provide a general tracing framework that can
be used by both the kernel and userspace (and imask control for allowing
DSP-side STI manipulation).
Since the IRQ is multiplexed, drivers register for the bits they're
interested in (the RX FIFO is an example of this).
The netlink interface exists for streaming data bi-directionally. This is
currently done using NETLINK_USERSOCK, which ends up being somewhat
limiting.
All of these things have been tested on both OMAP1 and OMAP2, and it
takes in to account some of the protocol differences.

[PATCH] NUMA slab locking fixes: fix cpu down and up locking
This fixes locking and bugs in cpu_down and cpu_up paths of the NUMA slab
allocator. Sonny Rao <sonny@burdell.org> reported problems sometime back on
POWER5 boxes, when the last cpu on the nodes were being offlined. We could
not reproduce the same on x86_64 because the cpumask (node_to_cpumask) was not
being updated on cpu down. Since that issue is now fixed, we can reproduce
Sonny's problems on x86_64 NUMA, and here is the fix.
The problem earlier was on CPU_DOWN, if it was the last cpu on the node to go
down, the array_caches (shared, alien) and the kmem_list3 of the node were
being freed (kfree) with the kmem_list3 lock held. If the l3 or the
array_caches were to come from the same cache being cleared, we hit on
badness.
This patch cleans up the locking in cpu_up and cpu_down path. We cannot
really free l3 on cpu down because, there is no node offlining yet and even
though a cpu is not yet up, node local memory can be allocated for it. So l3s
are usually allocated at keme_cache_create and destroyed at
kmem_cache_destroy. Hence, we don't need cachep->spinlock protection to get
to the cachep->nodelist[nodeid] either.
Patch survived onlining and offlining on a 4 core 2 node Tyan box with a 4
dbench process running all the time.

[PATCH] jbd: fix transaction batching
Ben points out that:
When writing files out using O_SYNC, jbd's 1 jiffy delay results in a
significant drop in throughput as the disk sits idle. The patch below
results in a 4-5x performance improvement (from 6.5MB/s to ~24-30MB/s on my
IDE test box) when writing out files using O_SYNC.
So optimise the batching code by omitting it entirely if the process which is
doing a sync write is the same as the one which did the most recent sync
write. If that's true, we're unlikely to get any other processes joining the
transaction.
(Has been in -mm for ages - it took me a long time to get on to performance
testing it)
This is the problematic single-process-doing-fsync case. With multiple
fsyncing processes the numbers are AFACIT unaltered by the patch.
Aside: performance testing and instrumentation shows that the transaction
batching almost doesn't help (testing with synctest -n 1 -uf -t 100 -p 10
dir-name on non-writeback-caching IDE). This is because by the time one
process is running a synchronous commit, a bunch of other processes already
have a transaction handle open, so they're all going to batch into the same
transaction anyway.
The batching seems to offer maybe 5-10% speedup with this workload, but I'm
pretty sure it was more important than that when it was first developed 4-odd
years ago...

the PIT timer runs at a incorrect frequency. This patch adds a new
option "apicpmtimer" that allows to use the APIC timer and calibrate it
using the PMTimer. It requires the earlier patch that allows to run the
main timer from the APIC.
Specifying apicpmtimer implies apicmaintimer.
The option defaults to off for now.
I tested it on a few systems and the resulting APIC timer frequencies
were usually a bit off, but always <1%, which should be tolerable.
TBD figure out heuristic to enable this automatically on the affected
systems TBD perhaps do it on all NForce3s or using DMI?

[PATCH] x86_64: Don't allow kprobes on __switch_to
kprobes cannot deal with the funny calling conventions when it
runs on a different stack when it returns. If someone wants
to instrument context switch they can add a probe to schedule()
instead.

[PATCH] x86_64: align per-cpu section to configured cache bytes
Align the start of the per-cpu section to the configured number of bytes in a
cache line. This stops a BUG_ON() from triggering in load_module() when
DEFINE_PER_CPU() is used in a module and the section isn't cacheline-aligned.
Rusty also found this and sent a patch in a while ago
(http://lkml.org/lkml/2004/10/19/17), I don't know what came of that.

[PATCH] x86_64: When allocation of merged SG lists fails in the IOMMU don't merge
[ AK: I redid Kevin's fix to be simpler, but the idea and original
analysis of the problem is from Kevin]
This avoid allocation failures on some SATA systems like Nvidia CK8
when the IOMMU gets fragmented. Modern SATA devices have quite large queues
(128 entries) and the FS with ext2/3 is good enough now that it often
passes whole 128 page sg lists down to the driver. These require
512K of continuous free space in the IOMMU aperture to map when merged.
When the IOMMU is fragmented this could lead to spurious IO errors
due to failing mappings.
Short term fix is to just try to map the SG list again unmerged
page by page - this way fragmentation doesn't matter anymore.
The code for that was already there, but it just wasn't enabled for the
merge case.
According to Kevin at least the Nvidia device doesn't seem to benefit
from merging much anyways, so the only slowdown is from trying
to do an unnecessary merge attempt.
Kevin plans to implement better fragmentation avoidance in the future,
but that wouldn't be 2.6.16 material.
TBD: should add some statistic counters to count how often that really
happens.

[PATCH] x86_64: Fix zero mcfg entry workaround on x86-64
I broke this earlier when moving the patch from i386 to x86-64.
Need to return the virtual address here, not the physical address.
This fixes some boot time crashes on x86-64.

- Ignore memory affinity entries that define a zero length region.

[PATCH] x86_64: data/functions wrongly marked as __init with cpu hotplug.
attached patch is 2 more cases i found via running the reference_init.pl
script. These were easy to spot just knowing the file names. There is
one another about init/main.c that i cant exactly zero in. (partly
because i dont know how to interpret the data thats spewed out of the tool).
