8a933ece41 ALSA: hda - Fix a typo in the previous patch
ICH6_GCTL_RESET was wrongly set to another bit by the commit
b21fadb9c1.  This caused a problem when
the codec needs really a reset (e.g. recovering from the communication
error at probe).

c339dfdd65 ide_pci_generic: add quirk for Netcell ATA RAID
We need to explicitly mark words 85-87 as valid ones since
firmware doesn't do it.

This should fix support for LBA48 and FLUSH CACHE [EXT] command
which stopped working after we applied more strict checking of
identify words in:

	commit 942dcd85bf
	("ide: idedisk_supports_lba48() -> ata_id_lba48_enabled()")

and

	commit 4b58f17d7c
	("ide: ide_id_has_flush_cache() -> ata_id_flush_enabled()")

fee3c55d7f microblaze: Fix problem with early_printk in startup
Problem arise when is incopatibility between kernel/dts/pvr
and kernel tries to announce it. Early printk device
(uartlite in our case) was in TLB 2 and when kernel
extract DTB it necessary to allocate at least one
TLB at the end of memory. First free TLB was number two
where was early printk. But checking mechanism (kernel/dts/pvr)
was after extrahing but TLB 2 was different. This caused
that kernel hung up.
Moving early printk device to TLB 63 solve it and we don't
protect it which means that we can use early_printk messages
only for initial parts of kernel then we rewrite TLB 63.

85d6943af5 Fix the VFP handling on the Feroceon CPU
This CPU generates synchronous VFP exceptions in a non-standard way -
the FPEXC.EX bit set but without the FPSCR.IXE bit being set like in the
VFP subarchitecture 1 or just the FPEXC.DEX bit like in VFP
subarchitecture 2. The main problem is that the faulty instruction
(which needs to be emulated in software) will be restarted several times
(normally until a context switch disables the VFP). This patch ensures
that the VFP exception is treated as synchronous.

26584853a4 Add core support for ARMv6/v7 big-endian
Starting with ARMv6, the CPUs support the BE-8 variant of big-endian
(byte-invariant). This patch adds the core support:

- setting of the BE-8 mode via the CPSR.E register for both kernel and
  user threads
- big-endian page table walking
- REV used to rotate instructions read from memory during fault
  processing as they are still little-endian format
- Kconfig and Makefile support for BE-8. The --be8 option must be passed
  to the final linking stage to convert the instructions to
  little-endian

213fb2a8ee ARMv7: Enable the SWP instruction
The SWP instruction has been deprecated starting with the ARMv6
architecture. On ARMv7 processors with the multiprocessor extensions
(like Cortex-A9), this instruction is disabled by default but it can be
enabled by setting bit 10 in the System Control register. Note that
setting this bit is safe even if the ARMv7 processor has the SWP
instruction enabled by default.

c1c2365acf perf_counter tools: Generate per command manpages (and pdf/html, etc.)
Import Git's nice .txt => {man/html/pdf} generation machinery.

Fix various errors in the Documentation/perf*.txt description as well.

Also fix a bug in builtin-help: we'd map 'perf help top' to 'perftop'
if only the 'perf' binary is in the default PATH - confusing the manpage
logic. I dont fully understand why Git did it this way - but i suppose
it's a migration artifact from their migration from standalone git-xyz
commands to 'git xyz' commands. The perf tools were always using the
modern form so it's not an issue there.

ccffad25b5 net: convert unicast addr list
This patch converts unicast address list to standard list_head using
previously introduced struct netdev_hw_addr. It also relaxes the
locking. Original spinlock (still used for multicast addresses) is not
needed and is no longer used for a protection of this list. All
reading and writing takes place under rtnl (with no changes).

I also removed a possibility to specify the length of the address
while adding or deleting unicast address. It's always dev->addr_len.

The convertion touched especially e1000 and ixgbe codes when the
change is not so trivial.

c626e3f5ca [ARM] alternative copy_to_user: more precise fallback threshold
Previous size thresholds were guessed from various user space benchmarks
using a kernel with and without the alternative uaccess option.  This
is however not as precise as a kernel based test to measure the real
speed of each method.

This adds a simple test bench to show the time needed for each method.
With this, the optimal size treshold for the alternative implementation
can be determined with more confidence.  It appears that the optimal
threshold for both copy_to_user and clear_user is around 64 bytes. This
is not a surprise knowing that the memcpy and memset implementations
need at least 64 bytes to achieve maximum throughput.

One might suggest that such test be used to determine the optimal
threshold at run time instead, but results are near enough to 64 on
tested targets concerned by this alternative copy_to_user implementation,
so adding some overhead associated with a variable threshold is probably
not worth it for now.

465440d272 mlx4_en: Fix a kernel panic when waking tx queue
When the transmit queue gets full we enable interrupts for TX completions
There was a race that we handled the TX queue both from the interrupt context
and from the transmit function. Using "spin_trylock_irq()" ensures this
doesn't happen.

c143dc903d block: fix an oops on BLKPREP_KILL
Doing a bit of torture testing, I ran across a BUG in the block
subsystem (at blk-core.c:2048): the test for if the request is queued.

It turns out the trigger was a BLKPREP_KILL coming out of the SCSI prep
function.  Currently for BLKPREP_KILL requests, we send them straight
into __blk_end_request_all() with an error, but they've never been
dequeued, so they trip the bug.  Fix this by starting requests before
killing them.

cb9dc92c0a [ARM] lower overhead with alternative copy_to_user for small copies
Because the alternate copy_to_user implementation has a higher setup cost
than the standard implementation, the size of the memory area to copy
is tested and the standard implementation invoked instead when that size
is too small.  Still, that test is made after the processor has preserved
a bunch of registers on the stack which have to be reloaded right away
needlessly in that case, causing a measurable performance regression
compared to plain usage of the standard implementation only.

To make the size test overhead negligible, let's factorize it out of
the alternate copy_to_user function where it is clear to the compiler
that no stack frame is needed.  Thanks to CONFIG_ARM_UNWIND allowing
for frame pointers to be disabled and tail call optimization to kick in,
the overhead in the small copy case becomes only 3 assembly instructions.

A similar trick is applied to clear_user as well.

39ec58f3fe [ARM] alternative copy_to_user/clear_user implementation
This implements {copy_to,clear}_user() by faulting in the userland
pages and then using the regular kernel mem{cpy,set}() to copy the
data (while holding the page table lock).  This is a win if the regular
mem{cpy,set}() implementations are faster than the user copy functions,
which is the case e.g. on Feroceon, where 8-word STMs (which memcpy()
uses under the right conditions) give significantly higher memory write
throughput than a sequence of individual 32bit stores.

Here are numbers for page sized buffers on some Feroceon cores:

 - copy_to_user on Orion5x goes from 51 MB/s to 83 MB/s
 - clear_user on Orion5x goes from 89MB/s to 314MB/s
 - copy_to_user on Kirkwood goes from 240 MB/s to 356 MB/s
 - clear_user on Kirkwood goes from 367 MB/s to 1108 MB/s
 - copy_to_user on Disco-Duo goes from 248 MB/s to 398 MB/s
 - clear_user on Disco-Duo goes from 328 MB/s to 1741 MB/s

Because the setup cost is non negligible, this is worthwhile only if
the amount of data to copy is large enough.  The operation falls back
to the standard implementation when the amount of data is below a certain
threshold. This threshold was determined empirically, however some targets
could benefit from a lower runtime determined value for optimal results
eventually.

In the copy_from_user() case, this technique does not provide any
worthwhile performance gain due to the fact that any kind of read access
allocates the cache and subsequent 32bit loads are just as fast as the
equivalent 8-word LDM.
