Currently the sound dmaengine pcm helper functions implement the pcm_pointer
callback by trying to count the number of elapsed periods. This is done by
advancing the stream position in the dmaengine callback by one period.
Unfortunately there is no guarantee that the callback will be called for each
elapsed period. It may be possible that under high system load it is only called
once for multiple elapsed periods. This patch addresses the issue by
implementing support for querying the current stream position directly from the
dmaengine driver. Since not all dmaengine drivers support reporting the stream
position yet the old period counting implementation is kept for now.
Furthermore the new mechanism allows to report the stream position with a
sub-period granularity, given that the dmaengine driver supports this.

The next patch will introduce a new snd_dmaengine_pcm_pointer which will be
implemented based on querying the current stream position from the dma device.

This patch adds a small inline wrapper for the devivce_tx_status callback of a
dma device. This makes the source code of users of this function a bit more
compact and a bit more legible.
E.g.:
-status = chan->device->device_tx_status(chan, cookie, &state)
+status = dmaengine_tx_status(chan, cookie, &state)

soc_probe_dai_link() currently inter-mixes the probing of CODECs,
platforms, and DAIs. This can lead to problems such as a CODEC's DAI
being probed before the CODEC, if that DAI is used as the CPU-side of
a DAI link without any other of the CODEC's DAIs having been used as
the CODEC-side of any DAI link that was probed earlier.
To solve this, split soc_probe_dai_link() into soc_probe_link_components()
and soc_probe_link_dais(). The former is used to probe all CODECs and
platforms used by a card first, and then the latter is used to probe all
the DAIs and links later.
A similar change is made to soc_remove_dai_links().

When a standalone CPU DAI (one not part of a CODEC) is probed, widgets
are created for it. Add a call to snd_soc_dapm_free() in order to clean
these up when the CPU DAI is removed.
In order for snd_soc_dapm_free() to work, the CPU DAI's DAPM context's
list member must be initialized, since snd_soc_dapm_free() removes that
from the list it's part of. Add it to the card's list of DAPM contexts.

If the CPU-side of a DAI link is a CODEC rather than a standalone DAI,
the codec initialization will call try_module_get() and create the DAI
widgets. Ensure that this isn't duplicated when the CPU DAI itself is
probed, if the CPU DAI is part of a CODEC.
Note that this is not a complete fix on its own, since there's no
guarantee that the CODEC itself will be initialized - currently that only
happens if the CODEC is also used as the CODEC-side of a DAI link, and
that initialization may happen before or after the DAIs within the CODEC
are initialized. However, such a scenario doesn't necessarily currently
work, and I don't think this change alone makes it any worse. This is
fixed in a couple patches time.

This reverts commit 9e612a008f.
It incorrectly finds VGA connectors where none are attached, apparently
not noticing that nothing replied to the EDID queries, and happily using
the default EDID modes that have nothing to do with actual hardware.
That in turn then causes X to fall down to the lowest common
denominator, which is usually the default 1024x768 mode that is in the
default EDID and pretty much anything supports).
I'd suggest that if not relying on the HDP pin, the code should at least
check whether it gets valid EDID data back, rather than just assume
there's something on the VGA connector.

This reverts commit 7732a557b1 (and commit
3f50fff4da, which was a follow-up
cleanup).
We're chasing an elusive bug that Dave Jones can apparently reproduce
using his system call fuzzer tool, and that looks like some kind of
locking ordering problem on the directory i_mutex chain. Our i_mutex
locking is rather complex, and depends on the topological ordering of
the directories, which is why we have been very wary of splicing
directory entries around.
Of course, we really don't want to ever see aliased unconnected
directories anyway, so none of this should ever happen, but this revert
aims to basically get us back to a known older state.
Bruce points to some of the previous discussion at
http://marc.info/?i=<20110310105821.GE22723@ZenIV.linux.org.uk>
and in particular a long post from Neil:
http://marc.info/?i=<20110311150749.2fa2be66@notabene.brown>
It should be noted that it's possible that Dave's problems come from
other changes altohgether, including possibly just the fact that Dave
constantly is teachning his fuzzer new tricks. So what appears to be a
new bug could in fact be an old one that just gets newly triggered, but
reverting these patches as "still under heavy discussion" is the right
thing regardless.

Both of these are attributed to the internal representation of
the nmiaction struct created during register_nmi_handler. The
reason for this is that those structs are not defined in the
init section whereas the rest of the code in nmi_selftest.c is.
To resolve this, I created a new #define,
register_nmi_handler_initonly, that tags the struct as
__initdata to resolve the mismatch. This #define should only be
used in rare situations where the register/unregister is called
during init of the kernel.

This fixes a problem which can causes kernel oopses while loading
a kernel module.
According to the PowerPC EABI specification, GPR r11 is assigned
the dedicated function to point to the previous stack frame.
In the powerpc-specific kernel module loader, do_plt_call()
(in arch/powerpc/kernel/module_32.c), GPR r11 is also used
to generate trampoline code.
This combination crashes the kernel, in the case where the compiler
chooses to use a helper function for saving GPRs on entry, and the
module loader has placed the .init.text section far away from the
.text section, meaning that it has to generate a trampoline for
functions in the .init.text section to call the GPR save helper.
Because the trampoline trashes r11, references to the stack frame
using r11 can cause an oops.
The fix just uses GPR r12 instead of GPR r11 for generating the
trampoline code. According to the statements from Freescale, this is
safe from an EABI perspective.
I've tested the fix for kernel 2.6.33 on MPC8541.

The SGI Altix UV2 BAU (Broadcast Assist Unit) as used for
tlb-shootdown (selective broadcast mode) always uses UV2
broadcast descriptor format. There is no need to clear the
'legacy' (UV1) mode, because the hardware always uses UV2 mode
for selective broadcast.
But the BIOS uses general broadcast and legacy mode, and the
hardware pays attention to the legacy mode bit for general
broadcast. So the kernel must not clear that mode bit.
