sched_clock: and multiplier for TSC to gtod drift
The sched_clock code currently tries to keep all CPU clocks of all CPUS
somewhat in sync. At every clock tick it records the gtod clock and
uses that and jiffies and the TSC to calculate a CPU clock that tries to
stay in sync with all the other CPUs.
ftrace depends heavily on this timer and it detects when this timer
"jumps". One problem is that the TSC and the gtod also drift.
When the TSC is 0.1% faster or slower than the gtod it is very noticeable
in ftrace. To help compensate for this, I've added a multiplier that
tries to keep the CPU clock updating at the same rate as the gtod.
I've tried various ways to get it to be in sync and this ended up being
the most reliable. At every scheduler tick we calculate the new multiplier:
multi = delta_gtod / delta_TSC
This means we perform a 64 bit divide at the tick (once a HZ). A shift
is used to handle the accuracy.
Other methods that failed due to dynamic HZ are:
(not used) multi += (gtod - tsc) / delta_gtod
(not used) multi += (gtod - (last_tsc + delta_tsc)) / delta_gtod
as well as other variants.
This code still allows for a slight drift between TSC and gtod, but
it keeps the damage down to a minimum.

sched_clock: stop maximum check on NO HZ
Working with ftrace I would get large jumps of 11 millisecs or more with
the clock tracer. This killed the latencing timings of ftrace and also
caused the irqoff self tests to fail.
What was happening is with NO_HZ the idle would stop the jiffy counter and
before the jiffy counter was updated the sched_clock would have a bad
delta jiffies to compare with the gtod with the maximum.
The jiffies would stop and the last sched_tick would record the last gtod.
On wakeup, the sched clock update would compare the gtod + delta jiffies
(which would be zero) and compare it to the TSC. The TSC would have
correctly (with a stable TSC) moved forward several jiffies. But because the
jiffies has not been updated yet the clock would be prevented from moving
forward because it would appear that the TSC jumped too far ahead.
The clock would then virtually stop, until the jiffies are updated. Then
the next sched clock update would see that the clock was very much behind
since the delta jiffies is now correct. This would then jump the clock
forward by several jiffies.
This caused ftrace to report several milliseconds of interrupts off
latency at every resume from NO_HZ idle.
This patch adds hooks into the nohz code to disable the checking of the
maximum clock update when nohz is in effect. It resumes the max check
when nohz has updated the jiffies again.

Correct hash flushing from huge_ptep_set_wrprotect()
As Andy Whitcroft recently pointed out, the current powerpc version of
huge_ptep_set_wrprotect() has a bug. It just calls ptep_set_wrprotect()
which in turn calls pte_update() then hpte_need_flush() with the 'huge'
argument set to 0. This will cause hpte_need_flush() to flush the wrong
hash entries (of any). Andy's fix for this is already in the powerpc
tree as commit 016b33c4958681c24056abed8ec95844a0da80a3.
I have confirmed this is a real bug, not masked by some other
synchronization, with a new testcase for libhugetlbfs. A process write
a (MAP_PRIVATE) hugepage mapping, fork(), then alter the mapping and
have the child incorrectly see the second write.
Therefore, this should be fixed for 2.6.26, and for the stable tree.
Here is a suitable patch for 2.6.26, which I think will also be suitable
for the stable tree (neither of the headers in question has been changed
much recently).
It is cut down slighlty from Andy's original version, in that it does
not include a 32-bit version of huge_ptep_set_wrprotect(). Currently,
hugepages are not supported on any 32-bit powerpc platform. When they
are, a suitable 32-bit version can be added - the only 32-bit hardware

vsprintf: add support for '%pS' and '%pF' pointer formats
They print out a pointer in symbolic format, if possible (ie using
symbolic KALLSYMS information). The '%pS' format is for regular direct
pointers (which can point to data or code and that you find on the stack
during backtraces etc), while '%pF' is for C function pointer types.
On most architectures, the two mean exactly the same thing, but some
architectures use an indirect pointer for C function pointers, where the
function pointer points to a function descriptor (which in turn contains
the actual pointer to the code). The '%pF' code automatically does the
appropriate function descriptor dereference on such architectures.
vsprintf: add infrastructure support for extended '%p' specifiers
This expands the kernel '%p' handling with an arbitrary alphanumberic
specifier extension string immediately following the '%p'. Right now
it's just being ignored, but the next commit will start adding some
specific pointer type extensions.
NOTE! The reason the extension is appended to the '%p' is to allow
minimal gcc type checking: gcc will still see the '%p' and will check
that the argument passed in is indeed a pointer, and yet will not
complain about the extended information that gcc doesn't understand
about (on the other hand, it also won't actually check that the pointer
type and the extension are compatible).
Alphanumeric characters were chosen because there is no sane existing
use for a string format with a hex pointer representation immediately
followed by alphanumerics (which is what such a format string would have
traditionally resulted in).
The actual code is the same, just split out into a helper function.
This makes it easier to read, and allows for simple future extension
of %p handling.

However, we do not set remote_irr here, leading to a
situation where if kvm_ioapic_set_irq() is called, then we go
ahead and call ioapic_service(). This means that IRR is
re-asserted even though the interrupt is currently in service

The issue with this is that when the currently executing
interrupt handler finishes and writes LAPIC EOI, then TMR is
unset and EOI sent to the IOAPIC. Since IRR is now asserted,
but TMR is not, then when the second interrupt is handled,
no EOI is sent and if there is any pending interrupt, it is
not re-injected.

x86 ACPI: normalize segment descriptor register on resume
Some Dell laptops enter resume with apparent garbage in the segment
descriptor registers (almost certainly the result of a botched
transition from protected to real mode.) The only way to clean that
up is to enter protected mode ourselves and clean out the descriptor
registers.
This fixes resume on Dell XPS M1210 and Dell D620.

mempolicy: mask off internal flags for userspace API
Flags considered internal to the mempolicy kernel code are stored as part
of the "flags" member of struct mempolicy.
Before exposing a policy type to userspace via get_mempolicy(), these
internal flags must be masked. Flags exposed to userspace, however,
should still be returned to the user.

olpc: sdhci: add quirk for the Marvell CaFe's interrupt timeout
The CaFe chip has a hardware bug that ends up with us getting a timeout
value that's too small, causing the following sorts of problems:
[ 60.525138] mmcblk0: error -110 transferring data
[ 60.531477] end_request: I/O error, dev mmcblk0, sector 1484353
[ 60.533371] Buffer I/O error on device mmcblk0p2, logical block 181632
[ 60.533371] lost page write due to I/O error on mmcblk0p2
Presumably this is an off-by-one error in the hardware. Incrementing
the timeout count value that we stuff into the TIMEOUT_CONTROL register
gets us a value that works. This bug was originally discovered by
Pierre Ossman, I believe.

The Marvell CaFe chip's SD implementation chokes during card insertion

that particular dance in two steps.
It also adds an entry to pci_ids.h for the CaFe chip's SD device.

cciss: read config to obtain max outstanding commands per controller
This patch changes the way we determine the maximum number of outstanding
commands for each controller.
Most Smart Array controllers can support up to 1024 commands, the notable
exceptions are the E200 and E200i.
The next generation of controllers which were just added support a mode of
operation called Zero Memory Raid (ZMR). In this mode they only support
64 outstanding commands. In Full Function Raid (FFR) mode they support
1024.
We have been setting the queue depth by arbitrarily assigning some value
for each controller. We needed a better way to set the queue depth to
avoid lots of annoying "fifo full" messages. So we made the driver a
little smarter. We now read the config table and subtract 4 from the
returned value. The -4 is to allow some room for ioctl calls which are
not tracked the same way as io commands are tracked.
Please consider this for inclusion.

Alpha Linux kernel fails with inconsistent kallsyms data
The build of the Alpha Linux kernel currently fails[1] with inconsistent
kallsyms data. As I never saw that before, I thought about hardware
problems. But in fact it is a bug in the Linux kernel.
The end of the rodata section is marked with the "__end_rodata" symbol.
This symbol have different aligning constraints than the inittext parts
and therefor the start marked "_sinittext". Because of that the
__end_rodata symbol shifts between < _sinittext and == _sinittext. The
later variant is seen as a code symbol and recorded in the kallsyms data.
On fix would be to move the exception table a little bit and get some
space between that two areas.

This got broken by the recent "fix rmmod $spi_driver while spidev-user is
active". I tested the rmmod & write path but didn't check the read path.
I am sorry. The read logic changed and spidev_sync_read() +
spidev_sync_write() do not return zero on success anymore but the number
of bytes that has been transfered over the bus. This patch changes the
logic and copy_to_user() gets called again.
The write path returns the number of bytes which are written to the
underlying device what may be less than the requested size. This patch
makes the same change to the read path or else we request a read of 20
bytes, get 10, don't call copy to user and report to the user that we read
10 bytes.

man-pages is supported
Starting last month, I reached a long-time goal: man-pages finally has a
paid, full-time maintainer, thanks to a fellowship from the Linux
Foundation. It's still a little unclear how long the LF money will last
for the fellowship, but for the foreseeable future, I'll be working on:
* Properly documenting every new Linux kernel-userland (and glibc) API,
and every API change, that is released into the mainline kernel, ideally
before actual release. (That's the ideal, but there's a quite a
backlog, so I'm not going to achieve the ideal immediately.)
* Testing new APIs, again ideally before they are released into the
mainline kernel, and probably doing some light bug fixing while I'm at
it (e.g., the recent utimensat() work).
* Design review of new APIs, which of course can only usefully be done
before they are released into the mainline kernel.
* And of course accepting patches and dealing with bug reports for
existing man pages.
