[PATCH] remove carta_random32
This library function should be in obj-y and not in lib-y. But when we do
that it clashes unpleasantly with the assembly-language implementation in the
ia64 architecture.
Instead of trying to fix it all up, just remove the generic carta_random32 in
the expectation that the recently-made-generic random32() will suffice.
If/when perfmon is migrated to random32, ia64's private carta_random32
implementation can also be removed.
Make net_random() more widely available by calling it random32
akpm: hopefully this will permit the removal of carta_random32. That needs
confirmation from Stephane - this code looks somewhat more computationally
expensive, and has a different (ie: callee-stateful) interface.

[PATCH] posix-cpu-timers: prevent signal delivery starvation
The integer divisions in the timer accounting code can round the result
down to 0. Adding 0 is without effect and the signal delivery stops.
Clamp the division result to minimum 1 to avoid this.
Problem was reported by Seongbae Park <spark@google.com>, who provided
also an inital patch.
Roland sayeth:
I have had some more time to think about the problem, and to reproduce it
using Toyo's test case. For the record, if my understanding of the problem
is correct, this happens only in one very particular case. First, the
expiry time has to be so soon that in cputime_t units (usually 1s/HZ ticks)
it's < nthreads so the division yields zero. Second, it only affects each
thread that is so new that its CPU time accumulation is zero so now+0 is
still zero and ->it_*_expires winds up staying zero. For the VIRT and PROF
clocks when cputime_t is tick granularity (or the SCHED clock on
configurations where sched_clock's value only advances on clock ticks), this
is not hard to arrange with new threads starting up and blocking before they
accumulate a whole tick of CPU time. That's what happens in Toyo's test
case.
Note that in general it is fine for that division to round down to zero,
and set each thread's expiry time to its "now" time. The problem only
arises with thread's whose "now" value is still zero, so that now+0 winds up
0 and is interpreted as "not set" instead of ">= now". So it would be a
sufficient and more precise fix to just use max(ticks, 1) inside the loop
when setting each it_*_expires value.
But, it does no harm to round the division up to one and always advance
every thread's expiry time. If the thread didn't already fire timers for
the expiry time of "now", there is no expectation that it will do so before
the next tick anyway. So I followed Thomas's patch in lifting the max out
of the loops.
This patch also covers the reload cases, which are harder to write a test
for (and I didn't try). I've tested it with Toyo's case and it fixes that.

[PATCH] lockdep: increase max allowed recursion depth
In general, lockdep warnings are intended to be non-fatal, so I have put in
various practical limits on internal data structure failure modes. We haven't
had a /single/ lockdep-internal crash ever since lockdep went upstream [the
unwinder crashes are outside of lockdep], and that's largely due to the good
internal checks it does.
Recursion within the dependency graph is currently limited to 20, that's
probably not enough on some many-CPU boxes - this patch doubles it to 40. I
have written the lockdep functions to have as small stackframes as possible,
so 40 should be OK too. (The practical recursion limit should be somewhere
between 100 and 200 entries. If we hit that then I'll change the algorithm to
be iteration-based. Graph walking logic is so easy to program via recursion,
so i'd like to keep recursion as long as possible.)

ACPI: SCI interrupt source override
The Linux group at Stratus Technologies has come across an issue with SCI
routing under ACPI. We were bitten by this when we made an x86_64 platform

Apparently the override has no effect for the System Control Interrupt, and
this appears to be because of the way the SCI is setup in the ACPI code.
It does not handle the case where busirq != gsi.
The code that sets up the SCI routing assumes that bus irq == global irq.
So there is simply no provision for telling it otherwise. The attached

ports to enter C-state and no SMM mode etc required to enter C-state.
Overall this will mean better C-state support.
One major advantage of using MWAIT for all C-states is, with this and

ACPI: asus_acpi: W3000 support
Add support for W3000 (W3V) and indirectly fixes an issue with kmilo under KDE
(it was triggering excessive LCD read error messages by querying asus_acpi
module) allowing people (I am probably the only one who tested this) with
W3000 to run kmilo.

V4L/DVB (4743): Fix oops in VIDIOC_G_PARM
The call to v4l2_std_construct() in the VIDIOC_G_PARM handler treats
vfd->current_norm as if it were an index - but it's not. The result is
an oops if the driver has no vidioc_g_parm() method defined. Here's the
fix.

V4L/DVB (4740): Fixed an if-block to avoid floating with debug-messages
The dbgarg() macro in videodev.c contains some printk() statements
where only the first one is influenced by an if-statement. This causes
floating with debug-messages which is fixed by this patch by adding a
'{ ... }' pair.
