f888e652d7 ext4: Simplify function signature for ext4_da_get_block_write()
The function ext4_da_get_block_write() is called in exactly one write,
and the last argument, create, is always 1.  Remove it to simplify the
code slightly.

168b6b1d05 ring-buffer: move code around to remove some branches
This is a bit of micro-optimizations. But since the ring buffer is used
in tracing every function call, it is an extreme hot path. Every nanosecond
counts.

This change shows over 5% improvement in the ring-buffer-benchmark.

88eb012536 ring-buffer: use internal time stamp function
The ring_buffer_time_stamp that is exported adds a little more overhead
than is needed for using it internally. This patch adds an internal
timestamp function that can be inlined (a single line function)
and used internally for the ring buffer.

5031296c57 x86: add extension fields for bootloader type and version
A long ago, in days of yore, it all began with a god named Thor.
There were vikings and boats and some plans for a Linux kernel
header.  Unfortunately, a single 8-bit field was used for bootloader
type and version.  This has generally worked without *too* much pain,
but we're getting close to flat running out of ID fields.

Add extension fields for both type and version.  The type will be
extended if it the old field is 0xE; the version is a simple MSB
extension.

Keep /proc/sys/kernel/bootloader_type containing
(type << 4) + (ver & 0xf) for backwards compatiblity, but also add
/proc/sys/kernel/bootloader_version which contains the full version
number.

ceefccc939 x86: default CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START and CONFIG_PHYSICAL_ALIGN to 16 MB
Default CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START and CONFIG_PHYSICAL_ALIGN each to 16 MB,
so that both non-relocatable and relocatable kernels are loaded at
16 MB by a non-relocating bootloader.  This is somewhat hacky, but it
appears to be the only way to do this that does not break some some
set of existing bootloaders.

We want to avoid the bottom 16 MB because of large page breakup,
memory holes, and ZONE_DMA.  Embedded systems may need to reduce this,
or update their bootloaders to be aware of the new min_alignment field.

37ba7ab5e3 x86, boot: make kernel_alignment adjustable; new bzImage fields
Make the kernel_alignment field adjustable; this allows us to set it
to a large value (intended to be 16 MB to avoid ZONE_DMA contention,
memory holes and other weirdness) while a smart bootloader can still
force a loading at a lesser alignment if absolutely necessary.

Also export pref_address (preferred loading address, corresponding to
the link-time address) and init_size, the total amount of linear
memory the kernel will require during initialization.

2ff799d3cf sched: Don't export sched_mc_power_savings on multi-socket single core system
Fix to prevent sched_mc_power_saving from being exported through sysfs
for multi-scoket single core system. Max cores should be always greater than
one (1). My earlier patch that introduced fix for not exporting
'sched_mc_power_saving' on laptops  broke it on multi-socket single core
system. This fix addresses issue on both laptop and multi-socket single
core system.
Below are the Test results:

1. Single socket - multi-core
       Before Patch: Does not export 'sched_mc_power_saving'
       After Patch: Does not export 'sched_mc_power_saving'
       Result: Pass

2. Multi Socket - single core
      Before Patch: exports 'sched_mc_power_saving'
      After Patch: Does not export 'sched_mc_power_saving'
      Result: Pass

3. Multi Socket - Multi core

      After Patch: exports 'sched_mc_power_saving'

4ff29ff8e8 sh: clkfwk: Consolidate the ALWAYS_ENABLED / NEEDS_INIT mess.
There is no real distinction here in behaviour, either a clock needs to
be enabled on initialiation or not. The ALWAYS_ENABLED flag was always
intended to only apply to clocks that were physically always on and could
simply not be disabled at all from software. Unfortunately over time this
was abused and the meaning became a bit blurry.

So, we kill off both of all of those paths now, as well as the newer
NEEDS_INIT flag, and consolidate on a CLK_ENABLE_ON_INIT. Clocks that
need to be enabled on initialization can set this, and it will purposely
enable them and bump the refcount up.

7be69c0b9a wext: fix get_wireless_stats locking
Currently, get_wireless_stats is racy by _design_. This is
because it returns a buffer, which needs to be statically
allocated since it cannot be freed if it was allocated
dynamically. Also, SIOCGIWSTATS and /proc/net/wireless use
no common lock, and /proc/net/wireless accesses are not
synchronised against each other. This is a design flaw in
get_wireless_stats since the beginning.

This patch fixes it by wrapping /proc/net/wireless accesses
with the RTNL so they are protected against each other and
SIOCGIWSTATS. The more correct method of fixing this would
be to pass in the buffer instead of returning it and have
the caller take care of synchronisation of the buffer, but
even then most drivers probably assume that their callback
is protected by the RTNL like all other wext callbacks.
