add rq_clock()/__rq_clock(), a robust wrapper around sched_clock(),
used by CFS. It protects against common type of sched_clock() problems
(caused by hardware): time warps forwards and backwards.
add kernel/sched_idletask.c - which implements the idle thread
scheduling class. This further simplifies sched.c (under CFS),
for example a number of 'if (p == rq->idle)' type of special-cases
can be removed from sched.c, and schedule() gets simpler too.
add the init_idle_bootup_task() callback to the bootup thread,
unused at the moment. (CFS will use it to switch the scheduling
class of the boot thread to the idle class)
sched: zap the migration init / cache-hot balancing code
the SMP load-balancer uses the boot-time migration-cost estimation
code to attempt to improve the quality of balancing. The reason for
this code is that the discrete priority queues do not preserve
the order of scheduling accurately, so the load-balancer skips
tasks that were running on a CPU 'recently'.
this code is fundamental fragile: the boot-time migration cost detector
doesnt really work on systems that had large L3 caches, it caused boot
delays on large systems and the whole cache-hot concept made the
balancing code pretty undeterministic as well.
(and hey, i wrote most of it, so i can say it out loud that it sucks ;-)
under CFS the same purpose of cache affinity can be achieved without
any special cache-hot special-case: tasks are sorted in the 'timeline'
tree and the SMP balancer picks tasks from the left side of the
tree, thus the most cache-cold task is balanced automatically.
enum idle_type (used by the load-balancer) clashes with the
SCHED_IDLE name that we want to introduce. 'CPU_IDLE' instead
of 'SCHED_IDLE' is more descriptive as well.
Fix permission checking for the new utimensat() system call
Commit 1c710c896eb461895d3c399e15bb5f20b39c9073 added the utimensat()
system call, but didn't handle the case of checking for the writability
of the target right, when the target was a file descriptor, not a
filename.
We cannot use vfs_permission(MAY_WRITE) for that case, and need to
simply check whether the file descriptor is writable. The oops from
using the wrong function was noticed and narrowed down by Markus
Trippelsdorf.

i386: fix regression, endless loop in ptrace singlestep over an int80
The commit 635cf99a80f4ebee59d70eb64bb85ce829e4591f introduced a
regression. Executing a ptrace single step after certain int80
accesses will infinitely loop and never advance the PC.
The TIF_SINGLESTEP check should be done on the return from the syscall
and not before it.
I loops on each single step on the pop right after the int80 which writes out
to the console. At that point you can issue as many single steps as you want
and it will not advance any further.
The test case is below:

Fix elf_core_dump() when writing arch specific notes (spu coredumps)
elf_core_dump() supports dumping arch specific ELF notes, via the #define
ELF_CORE_WRITE_EXTRA_NOTES. Currently the only user of this is the powerpc
spu coredump code.
There is a bug in the handling of foffset WRT the arch notes, which causes
us to erroneously increment foffset by the size of the arch notes, leaving
a block of zeroes in the file, and causing all subsequent data in the file
to be at <supposed position> + <arch note size>. eg:
LOAD 0x050000 0x00100000 0x00000000 0x20000 0x20000 R E 0x10000
Tells us we should have a chunk of data at 0x50000. The truth is the data
is at 0x90dbc = 0x50000 + 0x40dbc (the size of the arch notes).
This bug prevents gdb from reading the core file correctly.
The simplest fix is to simply remember the size of the arch notes, and add
it to foffset after we've written the arch notes. The only drawback is
that if the arch code doesn't write as many bytes as it said it would, we
end up with a broken core dump again. For now I think that's a reasonable
requirement.
Tested on a Cell blade, gdb no longer complains about the core file being
bogus.
While I'm here I should point out that the spu coredump code does not work
if we're dumping to a pipe - we'll have to wait for 23 to fix that.

[MIPS] Fix scheduling latency issue on 24K, 34K and 74K cores
The idle loop goes to sleep using the WAIT instruction if !need_resched().
This has is suffering from from a race condition that if if just after
need_resched has returned 0 an interrupt might set TIF_NEED_RESCHED but
we've just completed the test so go to sleep anyway. This would be
trivial to fix by just disabling interrupts during that sequence as in:
local_irq_disable();
if (!need_resched())
__asm__("wait");
local_irq_enable();
but the processor architecture leaves it undefined if a processor calling
WAIT with interrupts disabled will ever restart its pipeline and indeed
some processors have made use of the freedom provided by the architecture
definition. This has been resolved and the Config7.WII bit indicates that
the use of WAIT is safe on 24K, 24KE and 34K cores. It also is safe on
74K starting revision 2.1.0 so enable the use of WAIT with interrupts
disabled for 74K based on a c0_prid of at least that.
Older processors used to encode processor version and revision in two
4-bit bitfields, the 4K seems to simply count up and even newer MTI cores
have switched to use the 8-bits as 3:3:2 bitfield with the last field as
the patch number.
The RM7000 processors and the E9000 cores have a bug (though PMC-Sierra
opposes it being called that) where invalid instructions in the same
I-cache line worth of instructions being fetched may case spurious
exceptions.
The workaround for this was only enabled for E9000 cores; enable it also
for all RM7000-based platforms.

Fix slab redzone alignment
Commit b46b8f19c9cd435ecac4d9d12b39d78c137ecd66 fixed a couple of bugs
by switching the redzone to 64 bits. Unfortunately, it neglected to
ensure that the _second_ redzone, after the slab object, is aligned
correctly. This caused illegal instruction faults on sparc32, which for
some reason not entirely clear to me are not trapped and fixed up.
Two things need to be done to fix this:
- increase the object size, rounding up to alignof(long long) so
that the second redzone can be aligned correctly.
- If SLAB_STORE_USER is set but alignof(long long)==8, allow a
full 64 bits of space for the user word at the end of the buffer,
even though we may not _use_ the whole 64 bits.
This patch should be a no-op on any 64-bit architecture or any 32-bit
architecture where alignof(long long) == 4. Of the others, it's tested
on ppc32 by myself and a very similar patch was tested on sparc32 by

It's trying to notice if we left references to the dio hanging around in

path was in dio_await_completion(). This condition will also be
checked, via some twisty logic, by the BUG_ON(ret != -EIOCBQUEUED) a few
lines lower. So to start this BUG_ON() is redundant.
More fatally, it's dereferencing dio-> after having dropped its
reference. It's only safe to dereference the dio after releasing the
lock if the final reference was just dropped. Another CPU might free
the dio in bio completion and reuse the memory after this path drops the
dio lock but before the BUG_ON() is evaluated.

The reason? The ACPI layer registered the PCI MMIO range as being busy
too early, before PCI enumeration had happened, causing the PCI layer to
decide that it should relocate the resources somewhere else.
Firmware resources should be marked busy _after_ the PCI enumeration and
probing has happened, not before.
Remove the too-early reservation, we'll fix it up to do it properly

ide: pdc202xx_new PLL input clock fix
Recently the PLL input clock of Promise 2027x is sometimes detected
higher than expected (e.g. 20.027 MHz compared to 16.714 MHz).
It seems sometimes the mdelay() function is not as precise as it
used to be. Per Alan's advice, HT or power management might affect
the precision of mdelay().
This patch calls gettimeofday() to measure the time elapsed and
calculate the PLL input clock accordingly.

hpt366: use correct enablebits for HPT36x
The HPT36x chips finally turned out to have the channel enable bits -- however,
badly implemented. Make use of them despite it's probably only going to burden
the driver's code -- assuming both channels are always enabled by the HighPoint
BIOS anyway...

`printk' is never called because `retries' never holds zero at the
outside of `while' loop: when `retries' holds zero at the while's loop
condition, `retries' will hold -1 at the if condition.
V4L/DVB (5818): CinergyT2: fix flush_workqueue() vs work->func() deadlock
Spotted and tested by Thomas Sattler <tsattler@gmx.de>.
cinergyT2.c does cancel_delayed_work() + flush_scheduled_work() while
holding cinergyt2->sem. This leads to deadlock because work->func()
needs the same mutex to complete. Another bug is that this code in fact
can't reliably stop the re-arming delayed_work.
Convert this code to use cancel_rearming_delayed_work() and move it
out of ->sem. Another mutex, ->wq_sem, was added to protect against the
concurrent open/resume.
This patch is a horrible hack to fix the lockup which happens in practice.
As Dmitry Torokhov pointed out this driver has other problems and needs
further changes.

V4L/DVB (5816): Cx88-blackbird: fix vidioc_g_tuner never ending list of tuners
v4l-info and other programs would loop indefinitely while querying the
tuners for cx88-blackbird cards.
The cause was that vidioc_g_tuner didn't return an error value for
qctrl->id != 0, making the application think there is a never ending
list of tuners...
This patch adds the same index check as done in vidioc_g_tuner() in
cx88-video.
V4L/DVB (5808): Bttv: fix v4l1 breaking the driver
If one uses a V4L *one* application, such as vlc or mplayer's v4l driver, as
the first user after the driver is loaded, the driver wedges itself and will
never capture properly. Even if one uses a V4L2 application later, it still
won't work.
If one uses a V4L *two* application first, such as tvtime or mplayer's v4l2
driver, then the driver will be ok. One can then run a V4L1 application, and
it will work.
It turns out the problem is with norm changing and the crop support that was
added in 2.6.21. The driver defaults to PAL, and keeps the last norm it was
set too across opens. If one changes the norm via V4L1, the cropping
parameters are not reset like they should be, and they'll remain broken across
device opens.
This patch removes the direct setting of btv->tvnorm in the V4L1 ioctl
VIDIOCSCHAN handler. The norm is set via the existing call to set_input(),
which calls set_tvnorm(), which will reset the cropping values now that it is
able to detect the norm change.
host->irq and host->irq2 should be set before ata_host_register() for
IRQ reporting to work. Move up host->irq assignment in
ata_host_activate() and add it to ata_pci_init_one() native path and
pata_cs5520.
The port info printing in ata_host_register() doesn't fit all the
different controllers. It should probably be moved out to LLDs with
some helpers in the future.
