[PATCH] serial: make sure UART is powered up when dumping MCTRL status
Since serial devices are powered down when not in use and some of those
devices cannot be accessed when powered down, we need to enable power
around calls to get_mcrtl() when dumping port state via uart_line_info().
This resolves hangs observed on some machines while reading serial device
registers when a port is powered off.

[PATCH] 8250 UART backup timer
The patch below works around a minor bug found in the UART of the remote
management card used in many HP ia64 and parisc servers (aka the Diva
UARTs). The problem is that the UART does not reassert the THRE interrupt
if it has been previously cleared and the IIR THRI bit is re-enabled. This
can produce a very annoying failure mode when used as a serial console,
allowing a boot/reboot to hang indefinitely until an RX interrupt kicks it
into working again (ie. an unattended reboot could stall).
To solve this problem, a backup timer is introduced that runs alongside the
standard interrupt driven mechanism. This timer wakes up periodically,
checks for a hang condition and gets characters moving again. This backup
mechanism is only enabled if the UART is detected as having this problem,
so systems without these UARTs will have no additional overhead.
This version of the patch incorporates previous comments from Pavel and
removes races in the bug detection code. The test is now done before the
irq linking to prevent races with interrupt handler clearing the THRE
interrupt. Short delays and syncs are also added to ensure the device is
able to update register state before the result is tested.
Aristeu says:
this was tested on the following HP machines and solved the problem:
rx2600, rx2620, rx1600 and rx1620s.

I have seen this same bug in soft UART IP from "a major vendor."

[POWERPC] spu sched: static timeslicing for SCHED_RR contexts
For SCHED_RR tasks we can do some really trivial timeslicing. Basically
we fire up a time for every scheduler tick that searches for a higher

context switches to it. Because we can't lock spus from timer context
we actually run this from a delayed runqueue instead of a timer.
A nice optimization would be to skip the actual priority bitmap search
when there are less contexts than physical spus available. To implement
this I need a so far unpublished patch from Andre, and it will be added
after we have that patch in.
Note that right now we only do the time slicing for SCHED_RR tasks.
The code would work for SCHED_OTHER tasks aswell, but their prio
value is defered from the one the PPU thread has at time of spu_run,
and using this for spu scheduling decisions would make the code very
unfair. SCHED_OTHER support will be enabled once we the spu scheduler

This is the biggest patch in this series, and it reworks the guts of
the spu scheduler runqueue mechanism:
- instead of embedding a waitqueue in the runqueue there is now a
simple doubly-linked list, the actual wakeups happen by reusing
the stop_wq in the spu context (maybe we should rename it one day)
- spu_free and spu_prio_wakeup are merged into a single spu_reschedule
function
- various functionality is split out into small helpers, and kerneldoc
comments are added in various places to document what's going on.
- spu_activate is rewritten into a tight loop by removing test for
various impossible conditions and using the infrastructure in this
patch.

Various cleanups in code surrounding the state semaphore:
- inline spu_acquire/spu_release
- cleanup spu_acquire_* and add kerneldoc comments to these functions
- remove spu_release_exclusive and replace it with spu_release

The r/w semaphore to lock the spus was overkill and can be replaced
with a mutex to make it faster, simpler and easier to debug. It also
helps to allow making most spufs interruptible in future patches.

Various cleanups to sched.c that don't change the global control flow:
- add kerneldoc comments to various functions
- add spu_ prefixes to various functions
- add/remove context from the runqueue in bind/unbind_context as
it's part of the logical operation
- add a call to put_active_spu to spu_unbind_contex as it's logically
part of the unbind operation

Only bind_context/unbind_context change the spu context state. Thus
we can move all assignents of SPU_STATE_RUNNABLE into bind_context,
which parallels the unbind side aswell.

[TCP]: Prevent pseudo garbage in SYN's advertized window
TCP may advertize up to 16-bits window in SYN packets (no window
scaling allowed). At the same time, TCP may have rcv_wnd
(32-bits) that does not fit to 16-bits without window scaling
resulting in pseudo garbage into advertized window from the
low-order bits of rcv_wnd. This can happen at least when
mss <= (1<<wscale) (see tcp_select_initial_window). This patch
fixes the handling of SYN advertized windows (compile tested
only).
In worst case (which is unlikely to occur though), the receiver
advertized window could be just couple of bytes. I'm not sure
that such situation would be handled very well at all by the
receiver!? Fortunately, the situation normalizes after the
first non-SYN ACK is received because it has the correct,
scaled window.
Alternatively, tcp_select_initial_window could be changed to
prevent too large rcv_wnd in the first place.
[ tcp_make_synack() has the same bug, and I've added a fix for
that to this patch -DaveM ]
