Takashi Iwai abdd8f5106 ALSA: hda - Apply ALC269 VAIO fix-up to all Sony laptops with ALC269
We've applied a fix-up for ALC269 VAIO only for two models.  But all
Sony VAIO models with ALC269 codec seem to require the similar fix.
Let's apply it with vendor-id mask.

Wu Fengguang 53d7d69d8f ALSA: hdmi - support infoframe for DisplayPort
DisplayPort works mostly in the same way as HDMI, except that it expects
a slightly different audio infoframe format.

Citations from "HDA036-A: Display Port Support and HDMI Miscellaneous
Corrections":

The HDMI specification defines a data island packet with a header of 4
bytes (3 bytes content + 1 byte ECC) and packet body of 32 bytes (28
bytes content and 4 bytes ECC). Display Port specification on the other
hand defines a data island packet (secondary data packet) with header of
4 bytes protected by 4 bytes of parity, and data of theoretically up to
1024 bytes with each 16 bytes chunk of data protected by 4 bytes of
parity. Note that the ECC or parity bytes are not present in the DIP
content populated by software and are hardware generated.

It tests DP connection based on the ELD conn_type field, which will be
set by the graphics driver and can be overriden manually by users
through the /proc/asound/card0/eld* interface.

The DP infoframe is tested OK on Intel SandyBridge/CougarPoint platform.

Takashi Iwai 84eb01be18 ALSA: hda - Merge all HDMI modules into the unified module
This patch merges all three patch_*hdmi variants to the single HDMI
parser.  There is only one snd-hda-codec-hdmi module now.

In this patch, the behavior of each parser isn't changed much.
The old ATI parser still doesn't use the dynamic parser yet.
In later patches, they'll be cleaned up.

Also, this patch gets rid of the individual snd-hda-eld module and
builds into snd-hda-codec-hdmi, since this is referred only from the
HDMI parser.

Rafael J. Wysocki 6715045ddc PM / Hibernate: Avoid hitting OOM during preallocation of memory
There is a problem in hibernate_preallocate_memory() that it calls
preallocate_image_memory() with an argument that may be greater than
the total number of available non-highmem memory pages.  If that's
the case, the OOM condition is guaranteed to trigger, which in turn
can cause significant slowdown to occur during hibernation.

To avoid that, make preallocate_image_memory() adjust its argument
before calling preallocate_image_pages(), so that the total number of
saveable non-highem pages left is not less than the minimum size of
a hibernation image.  Change hibernate_preallocate_memory() to try to
allocate from highmem if the number of pages allocated by
preallocate_image_memory() is too low.

Modify free_unnecessary_pages() to take all possible memory
allocation patterns into account.

Dave Chinner 51749e47e1 xfs: log IO completion workqueue is a high priority queue
The workqueue implementation in 2.6.36-rcX has changed, resulting
in the workqueues no longer having dedicated threads for work
processing. This has caused severe livelocks under heavy parallel
create workloads because the log IO completions have been getting
held up behind metadata IO completions.  Hence log commits would
stall, memory allocation would stall because pages could not be
cleaned, and lock contention on the AIL during inode IO completion
processing was being seen to slow everything down even further.

By making the log Io completion workqueue a high priority workqueue,
they are queued ahead of all data/metadata IO completions and
processed before the data/metadata completions. Hence the log never
gets stalled, and operations needed to clean memory can continue as
quickly as possible. This avoids the livelock conditions and allos
the system to keep running under heavy load as per normal.

Roland McGrath 9aea5a65aa execve: make responsive to SIGKILL with large arguments
An execve with a very large total of argument/environment strings
can take a really long time in the execve system call.  It runs
uninterruptibly to count and copy all the strings.  This change
makes it abort the exec quickly if sent a SIGKILL.

Note that this is the conservative change, to interrupt only for
SIGKILL, by using fatal_signal_pending().  It would be perfectly
correct semantics to let any signal interrupt the string-copying in
execve, i.e. use signal_pending() instead of fatal_signal_pending().
We'll save that change for later, since it could have user-visible
consequences, such as having a timer set too quickly make it so that
an execve can never complete, though it always happened to work before.

Roland McGrath 7993bc1f46 execve: improve interactivity with large arguments
This adds a preemption point during the copying of the argument and
environment strings for execve, in copy_strings().  There is already
a preemption point in the count() loop, so this doesn't add any new
points in the abstract sense.

When the total argument+environment strings are very large, the time
spent copying them can be much more than a normal user time slice.
So this change improves the interactivity of the rest of the system
when one process is doing an execve with very large arguments.

Roland McGrath 1b528181b2 setup_arg_pages: diagnose excessive argument size
The CONFIG_STACK_GROWSDOWN variant of setup_arg_pages() does not
check the size of the argument/environment area on the stack.
When it is unworkably large, shift_arg_pages() hits its BUG_ON.
This is exploitable with a very large RLIMIT_STACK limit, to
create a crash pretty easily.

Check that the initial stack is not too large to make it possible
to map in any executable.  We're not checking that the actual
executable (or intepreter, for binfmt_elf) will fit.  So those
mappings might clobber part of the initial stack mapping.  But
that is just userland lossage that userland made happen, not a
kernel problem.
