CPU hotplug: fix cpu_is_offline() on !CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU
make randconfig bootup testing found that the cpufreq code
crashes on bootup, if the powernow-k8 driver is enabled and
if maxcpus=1 passed on the boot line to a !CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU
kernel.
First lockdep found out that there's an inconsistent unlock
sequence:
=====================================
[ BUG: bad unlock balance detected! ]
-------------------------------------
swapper/1 is trying to release lock (&per_cpu(cpu_policy_rwsem, cpu)) at:
[<ffffffff806ffd8e>] unlock_policy_rwsem_write+0x3c/0x42
but there are no more locks to release!
then shortly afterwards the cpufreq code crashed on an assert:
------------[ cut here ]------------

---[ end trace 1e9219be2b4431de ]---
the bug was caused by maxcpus=1 bootup, which brought up the
secondary core as !cpu_online() but !cpu_is_offline() either,
which on on !CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is always 0 (include/linux/cpu.h):
/* CPUs don't go offline once they're online w/o CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU */
static inline int cpu_is_offline(int cpu) { return 0; }
but the cpufreq code uses cpu_online() and cpu_is_offline() in
a mixed way - the low-level drivers use cpu_online(), while
the cpufreq core uses cpu_is_offline(). This opened up the
possibility to add the non-initialized sysdev device of the
secondary core:
cpufreq-core: trying to register driver powernow-k8
cpufreq-core: adding CPU 0
powernow-k8: BIOS error - no PSB or ACPI _PSS objects
cpufreq-core: initialization failed
cpufreq-core: adding CPU 1
cpufreq-core: initialization failed
which then blew up. The fix is to make cpu_is_offline() always
the negation of cpu_online(). With that fix applied the kernel
boots up fine without crashing:

Calling initcall 0xffffffff80cc328f: init_lapic_nmi_sysfs+0x0/0x39()
We could fix this by making CPU enumeration aware of max_cpus, but that
would be more fragile IMO, and the cpu_online(cpu) != cpu_is_offline(cpu)
possibility was quite confusing and a continuous source of bugs too.
Most distributions have kernels with CPU hotplug enabled, so this bug
remained hidden for a long time.

fix: using joysticks in 32 bit applications on 64 bit systems
unfortunately 32 bit apps don't see the joysticks on a 64 bit system.
this prevents one playing X-Plane (http://www.x-plane.com/) or other
32-bit games with joysticks.
this is a known issue, and already raised several times:
It turns out that the bug that was triggered by that commit was
apparently not actually triggered by that commit at all, and just the
testing conditions had changed enough to make it appear to be due to it.
The real problem seems to have been found by Peter Osterlund:
"pktcdvd sets it [block device size] when opening the /dev/pktcdvd
device, but when the drive is later opened as /dev/scd0, there is
nothing that sets it back. (Btw, 40944 is possible if the disk is a
CDRW that was formatted with "cdrwtool -m 10236".)
The problem is that pktcdvd opens the cd device in non-blocking mode
when pktsetup is run, and doesn't close it again until pktsetup -d is
run. The effect is that if you meanwhile open the cd device,
blkdev.c:do_open() doesn't call bd_set_size() because
bdev->bd_openers is non-zero."
" 1. Start with an empty drive.
2. pktsetup 0 /dev/scd0
3. Insert a CD containing an isofs filesystem.
4. mount /dev/pktcdvd/0 /mnt/tmp
5. umount /mnt/tmp
6. Press the eject button.
7. Insert a DVD containing a non-writable filesystem.
8. mount /dev/scd0 /mnt/tmp
9. find /mnt/tmp -type f -print0 | xargs -0 sha1sum >/dev/null
10. If the DVD contains data beyond the physical size of a CD, you
get I/O errors in the terminal, and dmesg reports lots of
"attempt to access beyond end of device" errors."
which in turn is because the nested open after the media change won't
cause the size to be set properly (because the original open still holds
the block device, and we only do the bd_set_size() when we don't have
other people holding the device open).
The proper fix for that is probably to just do something like
in fs/block_dev.c:do_open() even for the cases where we're not the
original opener (but *not* call bd_set_size(), since that will also
change the block size of the device).

[ISDN]: i4l: Fix DLE handling for i4l-audio
The DLE handling in i4l-audio seems to be broken.
It produces spurious DLEs so asterisk 1.2.24 with chan_modem_i4l
gets irritated, the error message is:
"chan_modem_i4l.c:450 i4l_read: Value of escape is ^ (17)".
-> There shouldn't be a DLE-^.
If a spurious DLE-ETX occurs, the audio connection even dies.
I use a "AVM Fritz!PCI" isdn card.
I found two issues that only appear if ISDN_AUDIO_SKB_DLECOUNT(skb) > 0:
- The loop in isdn_tty.c:isdn_tty_try_read() doesn't escape a DLE if it's
the last character.
- The loop in isdn_common.c:isdn_readbchan_tty() doesn't copy its characters,
it only remembers the last one ("last = *p;").
Compare it with the loop in isdn_common.c:isdn_readbchan(), that *does*
copy them ("*cp++ = *p;") correctly.
The special handling of the "last" character made it more difficult.
I compared it to linux-2.4.19: There was no "last"-handling and both loops
did escape and copy all characters correctly.

For isdn_tty_modem_result(RESULT_NO_CARRIER..) the
message inserted via isdn_tty_at_cout() -> tty_insert_flip_char()
is flushed immediately by tty_ldisc_flush() -> tty_buffer_flush().
More annoyingly, the audio abort sequence DLE-ETX is also lost.
This patch fixes only active audio connections, because I assume that nobody
changes the line discipline for audio.
For non-audio connections the problem remains.
Maybe we can remove the tty_ldisc_flush() in isdn_tty_modem_result()
at all because it's done at tty_close?

first rtt, so receivers echo the timestamp from the first packet in
the delayed ack. For congestion control however, it seems measuring
delayed ack delay is not desirable as it varies independently of
congestion.
The patch below causes seq_rtt and last_ackt to be updated with any
available later packet rtts which should have less (and hopefully
zero) delack delay. The rtt value then gets passed to
ca_ops->pkts_acked().
Where TCP_CONG_RTT_STAMP was set, effort was made to supress RTTs from
within a TSO chunk (!fully_acked), using only the final ACK (which
includes any TSO delay) to generate RTTs. This patch removes these
checks so RTTs are passed for each ACK to ca_ops->pkts_acked().
For non-delay based congestion control (cubic, h-tcp), rtt is
sometimes used for rtt-scaling. In shortening the RTT, this may make
them a little less aggressive. Delay-based schemes (eg vegas, veno,
illinois) should get a cleaner, more accurate congestion signal,
particularly for small cwnds. The congestion control module can
potentially also filter out bad RTTs due to the delayed ack alarm by
looking at the associated cnt which (where delayed acking is in use)
should probably be 1 if the alarm went off or greater if the ACK was
triggered by a packet.

[SERIAL]: Fix section mismatches in Sun serial console drivers.
We're exporting an __init function, oops :-)
The core issue here is that add_preferred_console() is marked
as __init, this makes it impossible to invoke this thing from
a driver probe routine which is what the Sparc serial drivers
need to do.
There is no harm in dropping the __init marker. This code will
actually work properly when invoked from a modular driver,
except that init will probably not pick up the console change
without some other support code.
Then we can drop the __init from sunserial_console_match()
and we're no longer exporting an __init function to modules.

[IPV4] Fix ip=dhcp regression
David Brownell pointed out a regression in my recent "Fix ip command
line processing" patch. It turns out to be a fairly blatant oversight on
my part whereby ic_enable is never set, and thus autoconfiguration is
never enabled. Clearly my testing was broken :-(
The solution that I have is to set ic_enable to 1 if we hit
ip_auto_config_setup(), which basically means that autoconfiguration is
activated unless told otherwise. I then flip ic_enable to 0 if ip=off,
ip=none, ip=::::::off or ip=::::::none using ic_proto_name();
The incremental patch is below, let me know if a non-incremental version
is prepared, as I did as for the original patch to be reverted pending a

[PCI] Do not enable CRS Software Visibility by default
It appears that some PCI-E bridges do the wrong thing in the presense of
CRS Software Visibility and MMCONFIG. In particular, it looks like an
ATI bridge (device ID 7936) will return 0001 in the vendor ID field of
any bridged devices indefinitely.
Not enabling CRS SV avoids the problem, and as we currently do not
really make good use of the feature anyway (we just time out rather than
do any threaded discovery as suggested by the CRS specs), we're better
off just not enabling it.
This should fix a slew of problem reports with random devices (generally
graphics adapters or fairly high-performance networking cards, since it
only affected PCI-E) not getting properly recognized on these AMD systems.
If we really want to use CRS-SV, we may end up eventually needing a
whitelist of systems where this should be enabled, along with some kind
of "pcibios_enable_crs()" query to call the system-specific code.

Some users do "modprobe ip_conntrack hashsize=...". Since we have the
module aliases this loads nf_conntrack_ipv4 and nf_conntrack, the
hashsize parameter is unknown for nf_conntrack_ipv4 however and makes
it fail.
Allow to specify hashsize= for both nf_conntrack and nf_conntrack_ipv4.
Note: the nf_conntrack message in the ringbuffer will display an
incorrect hashsize since nf_conntrack is first pulled in as a
dependency and calculates the size itself, then it gets changed
through a call to nf_conntrack_set_hashsize().

tty: fix logic change introduced by wait_event_interruptible_timeout()
Commit 5a52bd4a2dcb570333ce6fe2e16cd311650dbdc8 introduced a subtle logic
change in tty_wait_until_sent(). The original version would only error out
of the 'do { ... } while (timeout)' loop if signal_pending() evaluated to
true; a timeout or break due to an empty buffer would fall out of the loop
and into the tty->driver->wait_until_sent handling. The current
implementation will error out on either a pending signal or an empty
buffer, falling through to the tty->driver->wait_until_sent handling only
on a timeout.
The ->wait_until_sent() will not be reached if the buffer empties before
timeout jiffies have elapsed. This behavior differs from that prior to commit 5a52bd4a2dcb570333ce6fe2e16cd311650dbdc8.
I turned this up while using a little serial download utility to bootstrap an
ARM-based eval board. The util worked fine on 2.6.22.x, but consistently
failed on 2.6.23.x. Once I'd determined that, I narrowed things down with git
bisect, and found the above difference in logic in tty_wait_until_sent() by
inspection.
This change reverts the logic flow in tty_wait_until_sent() to match that
prior to the aforementioned commit.
