macb: Remove inappropriate spinlocks around mii calls
Remove spin_lock_irqsave() around mii_ethtool_gset, mii_ethtool_sset
and generic_mii_ioctl. These are unnecessary and harmful because
the mii calls may call back into the mdio functions, which may sleep.

[PATCH] knfsd: stop NFSD writes from being broken into lots of little writes to filesystem
When NFSD receives a write request, the data is typically in a number of
1448 byte segments and writev is used to collect them together.
Unfortunately, generic_file_buffered_write passes these to the filesystem
one at a time, so an e.g. 32K over-write becomes a series of partial-page
writes to each page, causing the filesystem to have to pre-read those pages
- wasted effort.
generic_file_buffered_write handles one segment of the vector at a time as
it has to pre-fault in each segment to avoid deadlocks. When writing from
kernel-space (and nfsd does) this is not an issue, so
generic_file_buffered_write does not need to break and iovec from nfsd into
little pieces.
This patch avoids the splitting when get_fs is KERNEL_DS as it is
from NFSd.

[PATCH] i386 rework local apic timer calibration
The local apic timer calibration has two problem cases:
1. The calibration is based on readout of the PIT/HPET timer to detect the
wrap of the periodic tick. It happens that a box gets stuck in the
calibration loop due to a PIT with a broken readout function.
2. CoreDuo boxen show a sporadic PIT runs too slow defect, which results
in a wrong lapic calibration. The PIT goes back to normal operation once
the lapic timer is switched to periodic mode.
Both are existing and unfixed problems in the current upstream kernel and
prevent certain laptops and other systems from booting Linux.
Rework the code to address both problems:
- Make the calibration interrupt driven. This removes the wait_timer_tick
magic hackery from lapic.c and time_hpet.c. The clockevents framework
allows easy substitution of the global tick event handler for the
calibration. This is more accurate than monitoring jiffies. At this point
of the boot process, nothing disturbes the interrupt delivery, so the
results are very accurate.
- Verify the calibration against the PM timer, when available by using the
early access function. When the measured calibration period is outside of
an one percent window, then the lapic timer calibration is adjusted to the
pm timer result.
- Verify the calibration by running the lapic timer with the calibration
handler. Disable lapic timer in case of deviation.
This also removes the "synchronization" of the local apic timer to the global
tick. This synchronization never worked, as there is no way to synchronize
PIT(HPET) and local APIC timer. The synchronization by waiting for the tick
just alignes the local APIC timer for the first events, but later the events
drift away due to the different clocks. Removing the "sync" is just
randomizing the asynchronous behaviour at setup time.

[PATCH] Fix cascade lookup of next_timer_interrupt
When searching for the next pending timer in the timer wheel we need to take
the cascade into account. The current code has several problems:
1. it looks into the previous cascade
2. it ignores a pending cascade
3. it ignores multiple cascades
Change the cascade lookup, so it calculates the array index from the point of
the next cascade and always look at the cascade buckets, when the cascade is
pending, i.e. gets executed in the next timer softirq. When multiple
cascades are pending, then lookup the next buckets too.

[PATCH] Mark TSC on GeodeLX reliable
The Geode can safely use the TSC for highres, since:
1) Does not support frequency scaling,
2) The TSC _does_ count when the CPU is halted. Furthermore, the Geode
supports a mode called "suspension on halt", where Suspend mode (which
interacts with the power management states) is entered. TSC counting
during suspend mode is controlled by bit 8 of the Bus Controller
Configuration Register #0 (thanks Tom!).
3) no SMP :)
Check if "RTSC counts during suspension" and remove the requirement for
verification, so the clocksource code can safely select it as an timesource
for the highres timers subsystem.

The biggest change is the removal of the 'fix up TSCs' code on x86_64 and

The new code only checks for TSC asynchronity - and if it can prove a
time-warp (if it can observe the TSC going backwards when going from one CPU

off.
The TSC synchronization-checking code also got moved into a separate file.

[PATCH] uml: fix 2.6.20 hang
A previous cleanup misused need_poll, which had a fairly broken interface.
It implemented a growable array, changing the used elements count itself,
but leaving it up to the caller to fill in the actual elements, including
the entire array if the array had to be reallocated. This worked because
the previous users were switching between two such structures, and the
elements were copied from the inactive array to the active array after
making sure the active array had enough room.
maybe_sigio_broken was made to use need_poll, but it was operating on a
single array, so when the buffer was reallocated, the previous contents
were lost.
This patch makes need_poll implement more sane semantics. It merely
assures that the array is of the proper size and that the contents are
preserved. It is up to the caller to adjust the used elements count and to
ensure that the proper elements are resent.
This manifested itself as a hang in 2.6.20 as the uninitialized buffer
convinced UML that one of its own file descriptors didn't support SIGIO and
needed to be watched by poll in a separate thread. The result was an
interrupt flood as control traffic over this descriptor sparked interrupts,
which resulted in more control traffic, ad nauseum.
