This reverts commit bea3864fb627d110933cfb8babe048b63c4fc76e
(PM / Hibernate: Reduce autotuned default image size), because users
are now able to resolve the issue this commit was supposed to address
in a different way (i.e. by using the new /sys/power/reserved_size
interface).

Martin reports that on his system hibernation occasionally fails due
to the lack of memory, because the radeon driver apparently allocates
too much of it during the device freeze stage. It turns out that the
amount of memory allocated by radeon during hibernation (and
presumably during system suspend too) depends on the utilization of
the GPU (e.g. hibernating while there are two KDE 4 sessions with
compositing enabled causes radeon to allocate more memory than for
one KDE 4 session).
In principle it should be possible to use image_size to make the
memory preallocation mechanism free enough memory for the radeon
driver, but in practice it is not easy to guess the right value
because of the way the preallocation code uses image_size. For this
reason, it seems reasonable to allow users to control the amount of
memory reserved for driver allocations made after the hibernate
preallocation, which currently is constant and amounts to 1 MB.
Introduce a new sysfs file, /sys/power/reserved_size, whose value
will be used as the amount of memory to reserve for the
post-preallocation reservations made by device drivers, in bytes.
For backwards compatibility, set its default (and initial) value to
the currently used number (1 MB).

We need to prevent kernel-forked processes during system poweroff.
Such processes try to access the filesystem whose disks we are
trying to shutdown at the same time. This causes delays and exceptions
in the storage drivers.
A follow-up patch will add these calls and need usermodehelper_disable()
also on systems without suspend support.

Some drivers erroneously use request_firmware() from their ->resume()
(or ->thaw(), or ->restore()) callbacks, which is not going to work
unless the firmware has been built in. This causes system resume to
stall until the firmware-loading timeout expires, which makes users
think that the resume has failed and reboot their machines
unnecessarily. For this reason, make _request_firmware() print a
warning and return immediately with error code if it has been called
when tasks are frozen and it's impossible to start any new usermode
helpers.

The driver core tries to prevent race conditions between runtime PM
and driver removal from happening by incrementing the runtime PM
usage counter of the device and executing pm_runtime_barrier() before
running the bus notifier and the ->remove() callbacks provided by the
device's subsystem or driver. This guarantees that, if a future
runtime suspend of the device has been scheduled or a runtime resume
or idle request has been queued up right before the driver removal,
it will be canceled or waited for to complete and no other
asynchronous runtime suspend or idle requests for the device will be
put into the PM workqueue until the ->remove() callback returns.
However, it doesn't prevent resume requests from being queued up
after pm_runtime_barrier() has been called and it doesn't prevent
pm_runtime_resume() from executing the device subsystem's runtime
resume callback. Morever, it prevents the device's subsystem or
driver from putting the device into the suspended state by calling
pm_runtime_suspend() from its ->remove() routine. This turns out to
be a major inconvenience for some subsystems and drivers that want to
leave the devices they handle in the suspended state.
To really prevent runtime PM callbacks from racing with the bus
notifier callback in __device_release_driver(), which is necessary,
because the notifier is used by some subsystems to carry out
operations affecting the runtime PM functionality, use
pm_runtime_get_sync() instead of the combination of
pm_runtime_get_noresume() and pm_runtime_barrier(). This will resume
the device if it's in the suspended state and will prevent it from
being suspended again until pm_runtime_put_*() is called.
To allow subsystems and drivers to put devices into the suspended
state by calling pm_runtime_suspend() from their ->remove() routines,
execute pm_runtime_put_sync() after running the bus notifier in
__device_release_driver(). This will require subsystems and drivers
to make their ->remove() callbacks avoid races with runtime PM
directly, but it will allow of more flexibility in the handling of
devices during the removal of their drivers.

As Metze pointed out, commit 84cdf74e broke mapchars option:
Commit "cifs: fix unaligned accesses in cifsConvertToUCS"
(84cdf74e8096a10dd6acbb870dd404b92f07a756) does multiple steps
in just one commit (moving the function and changing it without

put_unaligned_le16(temp, &target[j]); is never called for any

we put just zero (or maybe uninitialized) bytes into the target
buffer.
His proposed patch looks correct, but doesn't apply to the current head
of the tree. This patch should also fix it.

Trying to enable the local APIC timer on early K8 revisions
uncovers a number of other issues with it, in conjunction with
the C1E enter path on AMD. Fixing those causes much more churn

don't enable it on K8 at all, falling back to the original
functionality the kernel had wrt to that.

This reverts commit e20a2d205c05cef6b5783df339a7d54adeb50962, as it crashes
certain boxes with specific AMD CPU models.
Moving the lower endpoint of the Erratum 400 check to accomodate
earlier K8 revisions (A-E) opens a can of worms which is simply
not worth to fix properly by tweaking the errata checking
framework:
* missing IntPenging MSR on revisions < CG cause #GP:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=130541471818831
* makes earlier revisions use the LAPIC timer instead of the C1E
idle routine which switches to HPET, thus not waking up in
deeper C-states:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2011/4/24/20
Therefore, leave the original boundary starting with K8-revF.

Commit c21e6beb removed our queue request_fn re-enter
protection, and defaulted to always running the queues from
kblockd to be safe. This was a known potential slow down,
but should be safe.
Unfortunately this is causing big performance regressions for
some, so we need to improve this logic. Looking into the details
of the re-enter, the real issue is on requeue of requests.
Requeue of requests upon seeing a BUSY condition from the device
ends up re-running the queue, causing traces like this:
scsi_request_fn()
scsi_dispatch_cmd()
scsi_queue_insert()
__scsi_queue_insert()
scsi_run_queue()
scsi_request_fn()
...
potentially causing the issue we want to avoid. So special
case the requeue re-run of the queue, but improve it to offload
the entire run of local queue and starved queue from a single
workqueue callback. This is a lot better than potentially
kicking off a workqueue run for each device seen.
This also fixes the issue of the local device going into recursion,
since the above mentioned commit never moved that queue run out
of line.

pcieport: probe of 0000:c0:03.0 failed with error -22
This bug was caused by commit c8adf9a3e873 ("PCI: pre-allocate
additional resources to devices only after successful allocation of
essential resources.")
After that commit, pci_hotplug_io_size is changed to additional_io_size
from minium size. So it will not go through resource_size(res) != 0
path, and will not be reset.
The root cause is: pci_bridge_check_ranges will set RESOURCE_IO flag for
pci bridge, and later if children do not need IO resource. those bridge
resources will not need to be allocated. but flags is still there.
that will confuse the the pci_enable_bridges later.
related code:
static void assign_requested_resources_sorted(struct resource_list *head,
struct resource_list_x *fail_head)
{
struct resource *res;
struct resource_list *list;
int idx;
for (list = head->next; list; list = list->next) {
res = list->res;
idx = res - &list->dev->resource[0];
if (resource_size(res) && pci_assign_resource(list->dev, idx)) {
...
reset_resource(res);
}
}
}
At last, We have to clear the flags in pbus_size_mem/io when requested
size == 0 and !add_head. becasue this case it will not go through
adjust_resources_sorted().
Just make size1 = size0 when !add_head. it will make flags get cleared.
At the same time when requested size == 0, add_size != 0, will still
have in head and add_list. because we do not clear the flags for it.
After this, we will get right result:

The first cpu which switches from periodic to oneshot mode switches
also the broadcast device into oneshot mode. The broadcast device
serves as a backup for per cpu timers which stop in deeper
C-states. To avoid starvation of the cpus which might be in idle and
depend on broadcast mode it marks the other cpus as broadcast active
and sets the brodcast expiry value of those cpus to the next tick.
The oneshot mode broadcast bit for the other cpus is sticky and gets
only cleared when those cpus exit idle. If a cpu was not idle while
the bit got set in consequence the bit prevents that the broadcast
device is armed on behalf of that cpu when it enters idle for the
first time after it switched to oneshot mode.
In most cases that goes unnoticed as one of the other cpus has usually
a timer pending which keeps the broadcast device armed with a short
timeout. Now if the only cpu which has a short timer active has the
bit set then the broadcast device will not be armed on behalf of that
cpu and will fire way after the expected timer expiry. In the case of
Christians bug report it took ~145 seconds which is about half of the
wrap around time of HPET (the limit for that device) due to the fact
that all other cpus had no timers armed which expired before the 145
seconds timeframe.
The solution is simply to clear the broadcast active bit
unconditionally when a cpu switches to oneshot mode after the first
cpu switched the broadcast device over. It's not idle at that point
otherwise it would not be executing that code.
[ I fundamentally hate that broadcast crap. Why the heck thought some
folks that when going into deep idle it's a brilliant concept to
switch off the last device which brings the cpu back from that
state? ]

This patch allows users to disable ZONE_DMA for x86 if they know they
will not be using such devices with their kernel.
This prevents the VM from unnecessarily reserving a ratio of memory

During initialization of vmxnet3, the state of LRO
gets out of sync with netdev->features.
This leads to very poor TCP performance in a IP forwarding
setup and is hitting many VMware users.
Simplified call sequence:
1. vmxnet3_declare_features() initializes "adapter->lro" to true.
2. The kernel automatically disables LRO if IP forwarding is enabled,
so vmxnet3_set_flags() gets called. This also updates netdev->features.
3. Now vmxnet3_setup_driver_shared() is called. "adapter->lro" is still
set to true and LRO gets enabled again, even though
netdev->features shows it's disabled.
Fix it by updating "adapter->lro", too.
The private vmxnet3 adapter flags are scheduled for removal
in net-next, see commit a0d2730c9571aeba793cb5d3009094ee1d8fda35

There's some sections that should not have mcount recorded and should not have
modifications to the that code. But currently they waste some time by calling
mcount anyway (which simply returns). As the real answer should be to
either whitelist the section or have gcc ignore it fully.
This change adds a option to recordmcount to warn when it finds a section
that is ignored by ftrace but still contains mcount callers. This is not on
by default as developers may not know if the section should be completely
ignored or added to the whitelist.

There are sections that are ignored by ftrace for the function tracing because
the text is in a section that can be removed without notice. The mcount calls
in these sections are ignored and ftrace never sees them. The downside of this
is that the functions in these sections still call mcount. Although the mcount
function is defined in assembly simply as a return, this added overhead is
unnecessary.
The solution is to convert these callers into nops at compile time.
A better solution is to add 'notrace' to the section markers, but as new sections
come up all the time, it would be nice that they are delt with when they
are created.
Later patches will deal with finding these sections and doing the proper solution.
Thanks to H. Peter Anvin for giving me the right nops to use for x86.

PROGBITS is not enough to determine if the section should be modified
or not. Only process sections that are marked as executable.

The .kprobe.text section is safe to modify mcount to nop and tracing.
Add it to the whitelist in recordmcount.c and recordmcount.pl.

The Linux style for switch statements is:
switch (var) {
case x:
[...]
break;
}
Not:
switch (var) {
case x: {
[...]
} break;

The Linux ftrace subsystem style for comparing is:
var == 1
var > 0
and not:
1 == var
0 < var
It is considered that Linux developers are smart enough not to do the
if (var = 1)
mistake.

We provide two slots to disable cache indices, and have a check to
prevent both slots to be used for the same index.
If the user disables the same index on different subcaches, both slots
will hold the same index, e.g.
$ echo 2047 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cache/index3/cache_disable_0
$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cache/index3/cache_disable_0
2047
$ echo 1050623 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cache/index3/cache_disable_1
$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cache/index3/cache_disable_1
2047
due to the fact that the check was looking only at index bits [11:0]
and was ignoring writes to bits outside that range. The more correct
fix is to simply check whether the index is within the bounds of
[0..l3->indices].
While at it, cleanup comments and drop now-unused local macros.

732eacc0542d0aa48797f675888b85d6065af837 converted code around the
kernel using nested max() macros to use the new max3 macro but forgot to
remove the old line in intel_cacheinfo.c. Fix it.

The platform_bus_set_pm_ops() operation is deprecated in favor of the
new device power domain infrastructre implemented in commit

Convert OMAP1 to using the new generic clock manipulation routines
and a device power domain for runtime PM instead of overriding the
platform bus type's runtime PM callbacks. This allows us to simplify
OMAP1-specific code and to share some code with other platforms
(shmobile in particular).

If we have CONFIG_XEN and the other parameters to build an
Linux kernel that is non-privileged, the xen_[find|register|unregister]_
device_domain_owner functions should not be compiled. They should
use the nops defined in arch/x86/include/asm/xen/pci.h instead.
This fixes:
arch/x86/pci/xen.c:496: error: redefinition of ‘xen_find_device_domain_owner’
arch/x86/include/asm/xen/pci.h:25: note: previous definition of ‘xen_find_device_domain_owner’ was here
arch/x86/pci/xen.c:510: error: redefinition of ‘xen_register_device_domain_owner’
