a6d72c189f ACPI: allow C3 > 1000usec
Do for C3 what the previous patch did for C2.

The C2 patch was in response to a highly visible
and multiply reported C-state/turbo failure,
while this change has no bug report in-hand.

This will enable C3 in Linux on systems where BIOS
overstates C3 latency in _CST.  It will also enable
future systems which may actually have C3 > 1000usec.

Linux has always ignored ACPI BIOS C3 with exit latency > 1000 usec,
and the ACPI spec is clear that is correct FADT-supplied C3.

However, the ACPI spec explicitly states that _CST-supplied C-states
have no latency limits.

So move the 1000usec C3 test out of the code shared
by FADT and _CST code-paths, and into the FADT-specific path.

5d76b6f6c1 ACPI: enable C2 and Turbo-mode on Nehalem notebooks on A/C
Linux has always ignored ACPI BIOS C2 with exit latency > 100 usec,
and the ACPI spec is clear that is correct FADT-supplied C2.

However, the ACPI spec explicitly states that _CST-supplied C-states
have no latency limits.

So move the 100usec C2 test out of the code shared
by FADT and _CST code-paths, and into the FADT-specific path.

This bug has not been visible until Nehalem, which advertises
a CPU-C2 worst case exit latency on servers of 205usec.
That (incorrect) figure is being used by BIOS writers
on mobile Nehalem systems for the AC configuration.
Thus, Linux ignores C2 leaving just C1, which is
saves less power, and also impacts performance
by preventing the use of turbo mode.

2205cbe8ec ACPI: processor: restrict early _PDC to opt-in platforms
Commit 78f1699 (ACPI: processor: call _PDC early) blindly walks
the namespace and calls _PDC on every processor object it finds.

This change may cause issues on platforms that declare dummy
values for SSDTs on non-present processors (disabled in MADT).
When we call _PDC and dynamically attempt to execute the AML
Load() op on these dummy SSDTs, there's no telling what might
happen.

Rather than finding every platform that has bogus SSDTs, restrict
early _PDC calls to platforms that are known to need early
evaluation of _PDC.

This is a minimal, temporary fix (given the context of the
current release cycle). A real solution of checking the MADT for
non-present processors will be written for the next merge window.

38e3eaeedc eCryptfs: Remove mmap from directory operations
Adrian reported that mkfontscale didn't work inside of eCryptfs mounts.
Strace revealed the following:

open("./", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_LARGEFILE|O_DIRECTORY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
fcntl64(3, F_GETFD) = 0x1 (flags FD_CLOEXEC)
open("./fonts.scale", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC, 0666) = 4
getdents(3, /* 80 entries */, 32768) = 2304
open("./.", O_RDONLY) = 5
fcntl64(5, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = 0
fstat64(5, {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=16384, ...}) = 0
mmap2(NULL, 16384, PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE, 5, 0) = 0xb7fcf000
close(5) = 0
--- SIGBUS (Bus error) @ 0 (0) ---
+++ killed by SIGBUS +++

The mmap2() on a directory was successful, resulting in a SIGBUS
signal later.  This patch removes mmap() from the list of possible
ecryptfs_dir_fops so that mmap() isn't possible on eCryptfs directory
files.

f8f484d1b6 eCryptfs: Add getattr function
The i_blocks field of an eCryptfs inode cannot be trusted, but
generic_fillattr() uses it to instantiate the blocks field of a stat()
syscall when a filesystem doesn't implement its own getattr().  Users
have noticed that the output of du is incorrect on newly created files.

This patch creates ecryptfs_getattr() which calls into the lower
filesystem's getattr() so that eCryptfs can use its kstat.blocks value
after calling generic_fillattr().  It is important to note that the
block count includes the eCryptfs metadata stored in the beginning of
the lower file plus any padding used to fill an extent before
encryption.

5f3ef64f4d eCryptfs: Use notify_change for truncating lower inodes
When truncating inodes in the lower filesystem, eCryptfs directly
invoked vmtruncate(). As Christoph Hellwig pointed out, vmtruncate() is
a filesystem helper function, but filesystems may need to do more than
just a call to vmtruncate().

This patch moves the lower inode truncation out of ecryptfs_truncate()
and renames the function to truncate_upper().  truncate_upper() updates
an iattr for the lower inode to indicate if the lower inode needs to be
truncated upon return.  ecryptfs_setattr() then calls notify_change(),
using the updated iattr for the lower inode, to complete the truncation.

For eCryptfs functions needing to truncate, ecryptfs_truncate() is
reintroduced as a simple way to truncate the upper inode to a specified
size and then truncate the lower inode accordingly.

74401773f8 ath9k: fix beacon slot/buffer leak
When cleaning up beacon buffers and slots, ath9k currently checks if
sc->ah->opmode is set to a beacon related mode before cleaning up
buffers.
An unfortunate ordering of interface up/down commands can lead to
sc->ah->opmode being set to monitor mode, while there are AP interfaces
present on the same wiphy.
Always cleaning up beacon buffers if present fixes this issue.

1f667c690b ARM: 5886/1: arm: Fix cpu_proc_fin() for proc-v7.S and make kexec work
The comments in arm_machine_restart() suggest that cpu_proc_fin()
will clean and disable cache and turn off interrupts. This does
not seem to be implemented for proc-v7.S, implement it the same

This also makes kexec work for v7. Note that a related TLB and
branch traget flush patch is also needed to avoid kexec
"crc error".

Note that there are still some issues that seem to be related
to L2 cache being on and causing occasional uncompress "crc error"
with kexec. Anyways, this gets kexec mostly working on V7 for now.

fa44a73cc7 ppp_generic.c severly whitespace damanged by 9c705260fe
I was just looking at ppp_generic, and noticed that it fairly recently
(as in the last year) got rather mangled with many spaces turned into tabs
in places they very much shouldn't have been.  I tracked it down to commit
9c705260fe (ppp: ppp_mp_explode() redesign).

I am amazed if that patch passed the patch checking script.  I have no
idea what kind of weird editor setting did this, but it has to have been a
weird editor setting or a very unfortunate search and replace gone wrong.
I only found it trying to apply a patch I was playing with and wondering
why it wouldn't apply.  Then I found there were tabs in the middle of
comments that used to be spaces.

Well here is a patch that should fix it up as far as I can tell.

4f9c85a1b0 phylib: Move workqueue initialization to a proper place
commit 541cd3ee00 ("phylib: Fix deadlock
on resume") caused TI DaVinci EMAC ethernet driver to oops upon resume:

 PM: resume of devices complete after 237.098 msecs
 Restarting tasks ... done.
 kernel BUG at kernel/workqueue.c:354!
 Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000
 [...]
 Backtrace:
 [<c002c598>] (__bug+0x0/0x2c) from [<c0052a54>] (queue_delayed_work_on+0x74/0xf8)
 [<c00529e0>] (queue_delayed_work_on+0x0/0xf8) from [<c0052b30>] (queue_delayed_work+0x2c/0x30)

The oops pops up because TI DaVinci EMAC driver detaches PHY on
suspend and attaches it back on resume. Attaching makes phylib call
phy_start_machine() that initializes a workqueue. On the other hand,
PHY's resume routine will call phy_start_machine() again, and that
will cause the oops since we just destroyed the already scheduled
workqueue.

This patch fixes the issue by moving workqueue initialization to
phy_device_create().

p.s. We don't see this oops with ucc_geth and gianfar drivers because
they perform a fine-grained suspend, i.e. they just stop the PHYs
without detaching.

de4ef86cfc dccp: fix dccp rmmod when kernel configured to use slub
Hey all-
	I was tinkering with dccp recently and noticed that I BUG halted the
kernel when I rmmod-ed the dccp module.  The bug halt occured because the page
that I passed to kfree failed the PageCompound and PageSlab test in the slub
implementation of kfree.  I tracked the problem down to the following set of
events:

1) dccp, unlike all other uses of kmem_cache_create, allocates a string
dynamically when registering a slab cache.  This allocated string is freed when
the cache is destroyed.

2) Normally, (1) is not an issue, but when Slub is in use, it is possible that
caches are 'merged'.  This process causes multiple caches of simmilar
configuration to use the same cache data structure.  When this happens, the new
name of the cache is effectively dropped.

3) (2) results in kmem_cache_name returning an ambigous value (i.e.
ccid_kmem_cache_destroy, which uses this fuction to retrieve the name pointer
for freeing), is no longer guaranteed that the string it assigned is what is
returned.

4) If such merge event occurs, ccid_kmem_cache_destroy frees the wrong pointer,
which trips over the BUG in the slub implementation of kfree (since its likely
not a slab allocation, but rather a pointer into the static string table
section.

So, what to do about this.  At first blush this is pretty clearly a leak in the
information that slub owns, and as such a slub bug.  Unfortunately, theres no
really good way to fix it, without exposing slub specific implementation details
to the generic slab interface.  Also, even if we could fix this in slub cleanly,
I think the RCU free option would force us to do lots of string duplication, not
only in slub, but in every slab allocator.  As such, I'd like to propose this
solution.  Basically, I just move the storage for the kmem cache name to the
ccid_operations structure.  In so doing, we don't have to do the kstrdup or
kfree when we allocate/free the various caches for dccp, and so we avoid the
problem, by storing names with static memory, rather than heap, the way all
other calls to kmem_cache_create do.

I've tested this out myself here, and it solves the problem quite well.

79f211b8e1 sh64: wire up sys_accept4.
sh64 on the other hand provides both direct broken out syscalls as well
as socketcall access. As there are binaries that use both socketcall has
to stay around. The current ABI prefers direct syscalls.

It was pointed out that when sys_recvmmsg was added in, sys_accept4 was
overlooked. This takes care of wiring it up.

6eacb2c4cb sh: unwire sys_recvmmsg.
sh32 at the moment only uses sys_socketcall to reach these, so unwire
recvmmsg for now. While we're at it, add it to the ignore list, as per
the s390 change.

bb668da6d6 x86, apic: use logical flat for systems with <= 8 logical cpus
We can use logical flat mode if there are <= 8 logical cpu's
(irrespective of physical apic id values).  This will enable simplified
and efficient IPI and device interrupt routing on such platforms.

This has been tested to work on both Intel and AMD platforms.
Exceptions like IBM summit platform which can't use logical flat mode
are addressed by using OEM platform checks.

dfea91d5a7 x86, apic: use physical mode for IBM summit platforms
Chris McDermott from IBM confirmed that hurricane chipset in IBM summit
platforms doesn't support logical flat mode.  Irrespective of the other
things like apic_id's, total number of logical cpu's, Linux kernel
should default to physical mode for this system.

The 32-bit kernel does so using the OEM checks for the IBM summit
platform.  Add a similar OEM platform check for the 64bit kernel too.

Otherwise the linux kernel boot can hang on this platform under certain
bios/platform settings.
