Git changeset 6bdcc6e6dbab8daffd05e5026486f34ba41a6c72 dropped the
stand-alone lgh06xf module, whose functionality was absorbed into the
dvb-pll module. However, there was a minor difference between the code
in lgh06xf and dvb-pll, which caused a regression in b2c2-flexcop
devices using the LG-H06xF NIM.
dvb-pll will probe for the presence of an i2c pll chip by performing a
single byte read, the lgh06xf driver did not do this. Unfortunately, the
code in flexcop-i2c.c does not currently support 1 byte or 0 byte reads
as a probe. Such probes with the current code will always fail.
In order to work around this problem, and restore proper functionality
of the Airstar HD5000 device, this hack was created to make the probe
appear to succeed. The single byte read in dvb_pll_attach is the only
place where such a probe would ever occur, so this change is safe, and
will not affect any other devices.
Of course, if one knew how to actually perform the read operation, it
would be better to go that route. In the meantime, however, we must
apply this workaround, in order to prevent the regression that causes
tuning to fail on the Airstar HD5000 ATSC device.
Thanks to Jarod Wilson, who had originally reported this regression, and

actual cause of the problem.

Previously I reported that the pata_pdc2027x PLL detection changes
in kernel 2.6.22 broke the driver on my PowerMac:
>pata_pdc2027x: Invalid PLL input clock 1691742kHz, give up!
This is followed by a number of errors and speed reduction
steps on the affected ports.
There are two bugs in pata_pdc2027x's PLL detection code:
1. The PLL counter's start value is read before the chip is
put in "test mode". Outside of test mode the counter is
halted, and on the PowerMac the counter is zero because
the chip hasn't been initialised by its BIOS.
The fix is to move the read of the start value to after
test mode is started, but before the mdelay() in test mode.
This also improves the precision of the PLL detection.
2. The code to compute the number of PLL decrements during the
mdelay() in test mode fails to consider that the PLL counter
only is 30 bits wide. If there is a wraparound, it will compute
an incorrect and much too large value. On the PowerMac, the
start count is zero, the end count is a large 30-bit value, so
wraparound occurs and an out of bounds PLL clock is detected.
The fix is to mask the (start - end) computation to 30 bits.
While debugging this I also noticed that pdc_read_counter()
reads the two halves of the 30-bit PLL counter as 16-bit values,
and then combines them as if the halves only are 15 bits wide.
To avoid confusion, the halves should be read as 15-bit values.
This patch implements all three changes. It fixes the PLL detection
failure on my PowerMac, and doesn't cause any regressions on an x86
with an identical card.

Apply memory policies to top two highest zones when highest zone is ZONE_MOVABLE
The NUMA layer only supports NUMA policies for the highest zone. When
ZONE_MOVABLE is configured with kernelcore=, the the highest zone becomes
ZONE_MOVABLE. The result is that policies are only applied to allocations
like anonymous pages and page cache allocated from ZONE_MOVABLE when the
zone is used.
This patch applies policies to the two highest zones when the highest zone
is ZONE_MOVABLE. As ZONE_MOVABLE consists of pages from the highest "real"
zone, it's always functionally equivalent.
The patch has been tested on a variety of machines both NUMA and non-NUMA
covering x86, x86_64 and ppc64. No abnormal results were seen in
kernbench, tbench, dbench or hackbench. It passes regression tests from
the numactl package with and without kernelcore= once numactl tests are
patched to wait for vmstat counters to update.

autofs4: deadlock during create
Due to inconsistent locking in the VFS between calls to lookup and
revalidate deadlock can occur in the automounter.
The inconsistency is that the directory inode mutex is held for both lookup
and revalidate calls when called via lookup_hash whereas it is held only
for lookup during a path walk. Consequently, if the mutex is held during a
call to revalidate autofs4 can't release the mutex to callback the daemon
as it can't know whether it owns the mutex.
This situation happens when a process tries to create a directory within an
automount and a second process also tries to create the same directory
between the lookup and the mkdir. Since the first process has dropped the
mutex for the daemon callback, the second process takes it during
revalidate leading to deadlock between the autofs daemon and the second
process when the daemon tries to create the mount point directory.
After spending quite a bit of time trying to resolve this on more than one
occassion, using rather complex and ulgy approaches, it turns out that just
delaying the hashing of the dentry until the create operation works fine.

slab: skip calling cache_free_alien() when the platform is not numa capable
Skip calling cache_free_alien() when the platform is not numa capable.
This will avoid cache misses that happen while accessing slabp (which is
per page memory reference) to get nodeid. Instead use a global variable to
skip the call, which is mostly likely to be present in the cache.
This gives a 0.8% performance boost with the database oltp workload on a
quad-core SMP platform and by any means the number is not small :)

signalfd: make it group-wide, fix posix-timers scheduling
With this patch any thread can dequeue its own private signals via signalfd,
even if it was created by another sub-thread.
To do so, we pass "current" to dequeue_signal() if the caller is from the same
thread group. This also fixes the scheduling of posix timers broken by the
previous patch.
If the caller doesn't belong to this thread group, we can't handle __SI_TIMER
case properly anyway. Perhaps we should forbid the cross-process signalfd usage
and convert ctx->tsk to ctx->sighand.

signalfd: fix interaction with posix-timers
dequeue_signal:
if (__SI_TIMER) {
spin_unlock(&tsk->sighand->siglock);
do_schedule_next_timer(info);
spin_lock(&tsk->sighand->siglock);
}
Unless tsk == curent, this is absolutely unsafe: nothing prevents tsk from
exiting. If signalfd was passed to another process, do_schedule_next_timer()
is just wrong.
Add yet another "tsk == current" check into dequeue_signal().
This patch fixes an oopsable bug, but breaks the scheduling of posix timers
if the shared __SI_TIMER signal was fetched via signalfd attached to another
sub-thread. Mostly fixed by the next patch.

posix-timers: fix creation race
sys_timer_create() sets ->it_process and unlocks ->siglock, then checks
tmr->it_sigev_notify to define if get_task_struct() is needed.
We already passed ->it_id to the caller, another thread can delete this timer
and free its memory in between.
As a minimal fix, move this code under ->siglock, sys_timer_delete() takes it
too before calling release_posix_timer(). A proper serialization would be to
take ->it_lock, we add a partly initialized timer on posix_timers_id, not
good.

timer->it_process is checked in lock_timer() to prevent access to a
timer, which is on the way to be deleted, but the check happens after
idr_lock is dropped. This allows release_posix_timer() to delete the
timer before the lock code can check the timer:
Introduce CONFIG_CHECK_SIGNATURE to control inclusion of check_signature()
and avoid problems on platforms that don't have readb().
Let the few legacy (ISA || PCI || X86) drivers that need check_signature()
select CONFIG_CHECK_SIGNATURE.

The forward declaration of mac_hid_mouse_emulate_buttons() is not visible on

Move it to <linux/kbd_kern.h>, correct the type of the second parameter, and
include <linux/kbd_kern.h> where needed.
