a7f5378e24 FRV: Reinstate null behaviour for the GDB remote protocol 'p' command
Reinstate the null behaviour that the in-kernel gdbstub had for the GDB
remote protocol 'p' command (retrieve a single register value) prior to
commit 7ca8b9c0da ("frv: extend gdbstub to support more features of
gdb").

Before that, the 'p' command just returned an empty reply, which causes
gdb to then go and use the 'g' command.  However, since that commit, the
'p' command returns an error string, which causes gdb to abort its
connection to the target.

Not all gdb versions are affected, some use try 'g' first, and if that
works, don't bother with 'p', and so don't see the error.

262444eecc firewire: ohci: add MSI support
This patch adds support for message-signaled interrupts.

Any native PCI-Express OHCI controller should support MSI, but most are
just PCI cores behind a PCI-E/PCI bridge.  The only chips that are known
to claim to support MSI are the Lucent/Agere/LSI FW643 and the VIA
VT6315, none of which I have been able to test.

Due to the high level of trust I have in the competence of these and any
future chip makers, I thought it a good idea to add a disable-MSI quirk.

Signed-off-by: Clemens Ladisch <clemens@ladisch.de>

Tested Agere FW643 rev 07 [11c1:5901] and JMicron JMB381 [197b:2380].
Added a quirks list entry for JMB38X since it kept its count of MSI
events consistently at zero.

and proposed to move OHCI1394_masterIntEnable out of the present

Why not defer setting /all/ of the bits until right before linkEnable?

We do that by setting spte.w=1, since the host cr0.wp must remain set so the

user access otherwise we mistakenly allow the user to write the page.

4673247562 genirq: Deal with desc->set_type() changing desc->chip
The set_type() function can change the chip implementation when the
trigger mode changes. That might result in using an non-initialized
irq chip when called from __setup_irq() or when called via
set_irq_type() on an already enabled irq. 

The set_irq_type() function should not be called on an enabled irq,
but because we forgot to put a check into it, we have a bunch of users
which grew the habit of doing that and it never blew up as the
function is serialized via desc->lock against all users of desc->chip
and they never hit the non-initialized irq chip issue.

The easy fix for the __setup_irq() issue would be to move the
irq_chip_set_defaults(desc->chip) call after the trigger setting to
make sure that a chip change is covered.

But as we have already users, which do the type setting after
request_irq(), the safe fix for now is to call irq_chip_set_defaults()
from __irq_set_trigger() when desc->set_type() changed the irq chip.

It needs a deeper analysis whether we should refuse to change the chip
on an already enabled irq, but that'd be a large scale change to fix
all the existing users. So that's neither stable nor 2.6.35 material.

The commit "asm-generic: add NEED_SG_DMA_LENGTH to define sg_dma_len()"
18e98307de broke microblaze compilation.

dma_direct_map_sg() sets sg->dma_length, however microblaze doesn't
set NEED_SG_DMA_LENGTH so scatterlist strcutres doesn't include
dma_length.

sg->dma_length is always equal to sg->length on microblaze. So we
don't need to set set dma_length, that is, microblaze can simply use
sg->length.

aea9d711f3 ipvs: Add missing locking during connection table hashing and unhashing
The code that hashes and unhashes connections from the connection table
is missing locking of the connection being modified, which opens up a
race condition and results in memory corruption when this race condition
is hit.

Here is what happens in pretty verbose form:

CPU 0					CPU 1
------------				------------
An active connection is terminated and
we schedule ip_vs_conn_expire() on this
CPU to expire this connection.

					IRQ assignment is changed to this CPU,
					but the expire timer stays scheduled on
					the other CPU.

					New connection from same ip:port comes
					in right before the timer expires, we
					find the inactive connection in our
					connection table and get a reference to
					it. We proper lock the connection in
					tcp_state_transition() and read the
					connection flags in set_tcp_state().

ip_vs_conn_expire() gets called, we
unhash the connection from our
connection table and remove the hashed
flag in ip_vs_conn_unhash(), without
proper locking!

					While still holding proper locks we
					write the connection flags in
					set_tcp_state() and this sets the hashed
					flag again.

ip_vs_conn_expire() fails to expire the
connection, because the other CPU has
incremented the reference count. We try
to re-insert the connection into our
connection table, but this fails in
ip_vs_conn_hash(), because the hashed
flag has been set by the other CPU. We
re-schedule execution of
ip_vs_conn_expire(). Now this connection
has the hashed flag set, but isn't
actually hashed in our connection table
and has a dangling list_head.

					We drop the reference we held on the
					connection and schedule the expire timer
					for timeouting the connection on this
					CPU. Further packets won't be able to
					find this connection in our connection
					table.

					ip_vs_conn_expire() gets called again,
					we think it's already hashed, but the
					list_head is dangling and while removing
					the connection from our connection table
					we write to the memory location where
					this list_head points to.

The result will probably be a kernel oops at some other point in time.

This race condition is pretty subtle, but it can be triggered remotely.
It needs the IRQ assignment change or another circumstance where packets
coming from the same ip:port for the same service are being processed on
different CPUs. And it involves hitting the exact time at which
ip_vs_conn_expire() gets called. It can be avoided by making sure that
all packets from one connection are always processed on the same CPU and
can be made harder to exploit by changing the connection timeouts to
some custom values.

7be7923633 perf: Fix build breakage for architecutes without atomic64_t
The local64.h include dependency was not dependent on PERF_EVENT=y,
which meant that arch's without atomic64_t support ended up including
it and failed to build.

76cbd8a8f8 powerpc: Enable asymmetric SMT scheduling on POWER7
The POWER7 core has dynamic SMT mode switching which is controlled by
the hypervisor.  There are 3 SMT modes:
	SMT1 uses thread  0
	SMT2 uses threads 0 & 1
	SMT4 uses threads 0, 1, 2 & 3
When in any particular SMT mode, all threads have the same performance
as each other (ie. at any moment in time, all threads perform the same).

The SMT mode switching works such that when linux has threads 2 & 3 idle
and 0 & 1 active, it will cede (H_CEDE hypercall) threads 2 and 3 in the
idle loop and the hypervisor will automatically switch to SMT2 for that
core (independent of other cores).  The opposite is not true, so if
threads 0 & 1 are idle and 2 & 3 are active, we will stay in SMT4 mode.

Similarly if thread 0 is active and threads 1, 2 & 3 are idle, we'll go
into SMT1 mode.

If we can get the core into a lower SMT mode (SMT1 is best), the threads
will perform better (since they share less core resources).  Hence when
we have idle threads, we want them to be the higher ones.

This adds a feature bit for asymmetric packing to powerpc and then
enables it on POWER7.

a6e6dea68c perf: Add perf_event::child_count
Only child counters adding back their values into the parent counter
are responsible for cross-cpu updates to event->count.

So if we pull that out into a new child_count variable, we get an
event->count that is only modified locally.

1996bda2a4 arch: Implement local64_t
On 64bit, local_t is of size long, and thus we make local64_t an alias.
On 32bit, we fall back to atomic64_t. (architecture can provide optimized
32-bit version)

(This new facility is to be used by perf events optimizations.)

68aa00ac0a perf, x86: Make a second write to performance counter if needed
On Netburst PMU we need a second write to a performance counter
due to cpu erratum.

A simple flag test instead of alternative instructions was choosen
because wrmsrl is already a macro and if virtualization is turned
on will need an additional wrapper call which is more expencise.

nb: we should propably switch to jump-labels as only this facility
reach the mainline.
