8e7d2b2c6e drm/i915: allocate large pointer arrays with vmalloc
For awhile now, many of the GEM code paths have allocated page or
object arrays with the slab allocator.  This is nice and fast, but
won't work well if memory is fragmented, since the slab allocator works
with physically contiguous memory (i.e. order > 2 allocations are
likely to fail fairly early after booting and doing some work).

This patch works around the issue by falling back to vmalloc for
>PAGE_SIZE allocations.  This is ugly, but much less work than chaining
a bunch of pages together by hand (suprisingly there's not a bunch of
generic kernel helpers for this yet afaik).  vmalloc space is somewhat
precious on 32 bit kernels, but our allocations shouldn't be big enough
to cause problems, though they're routinely more than a page.

Note that this patch doesn't address the unchecked
alloc-based-on-ioctl-args in GEM; that needs to be fixed in a separate
patch.

Also, I've deliberately ignored the DRM's "area" junk.  I don't think
anyone actually uses it anymore and I'm hoping it gets ripped out soon.

[Updated: removed size arg to new free function.  We could unify the
free functions as well once the DRM mem tracking is ripped out.]

79eb63e9e5 block: Add blk_make_request(), takes bio, returns a request
New block API:
given a struct bio allocates a new request. This is the parallel of
generic_make_request for BLOCK_PC commands users.

The passed bio may be a chained-bio. The bio is bounced if needed
inside the call to this member.

This is in the effort of un-exporting blk_rq_append_bio().

93f154b594 net: release dst entry in dev_hard_start_xmit()
One point of contention in high network loads is the dst_release() performed
when a transmited skb is freed. This is because NIC tx completion calls
dev_kree_skb() long after original call to dev_queue_xmit(skb).

CPU cache is cold and the atomic op in dst_release() stalls. On SMP, this is
quite visible if one CPU is 100% handling softirqs for a network device,
since dst_clone() is done by other cpus, involving cache line ping pongs.

It seems right place to release dst is in dev_hard_start_xmit(), for most
devices but ones that are virtual, and some exceptions.

David Miller suggested to define a new device flag, set in alloc_netdev_mq()
(so that most devices set it at init time), and carefuly unset in devices
which dont want a NULL skb->dst in their ndo_start_xmit().

List of devices that must clear this flag is :

- loopback device, because it calls netif_rx() and quoting Patrick :
    "ip_route_input() doesn't accept loopback addresses, so loopback packets
     already need to have a dst_entry attached."
- appletalk/ipddp.c : needs skb->dst in its xmit function

- And all devices that call again dev_queue_xmit() from their xmit function
(as some classifiers need skb->dst) : bonding, vlan, macvlan, eql, ifb, hdlc_fr

7004bf252c net: add tx_packets/tx_bytes/tx_dropped counters in struct netdev_queue
offsetof(struct net_device, features)=0x44
offsetof(struct net_device, stats.tx_packets)=0x54
offsetof(struct net_device, stats.tx_bytes)=0x5c
offsetof(struct net_device, stats.tx_dropped)=0x6c

Network drivers that touch dev->stats.tx_packets/stats.tx_bytes in their
tx path can slow down SMP operations, since they dirty a cache line
that should stay shared (dev->features is needed in rx and tx paths)

We could move away stats field in net_device but it wont help that much.
(Two cache lines dirtied in tx path, we can do one only)

Better solution is to add tx_packets/tx_bytes/tx_dropped in struct
netdev_queue because this structure is already touched in tx path and
counters updates will then be free (no increase in size)

6d3ddc81f5 ASoC: Split DAPM power checks from sequencing of power changes
DAPM has always applied any changes to the power state of widgets as soon
as it has determined that they are required. Instead of doing this store
all the changes that are required on lists of widgets to power up and
down, then iterate over those lists and apply the changes. This changes
the sequence in which changes are implemented, doing all power downs
before power ups and always using the up/down sequences (previously they
were only used when changes were due to DAC/ADC power events). The error
handling is also changed so that we continue attempting to power widgets
if some changes fail.

The main benefit of this is to allow future changes to do optimisations
over the whole power sequence and to reduce the number of walks of the
widget graph required to check the power status of widgets.

eb33575cf6 [ARM] Double check memmap is actually valid with a memmap has unexpected holes V2
pfn_valid() is meant to be able to tell if a given PFN has valid memmap
associated with it or not. In FLATMEM, it is expected that holes always
have valid memmap as long as there is valid PFNs either side of the hole.
In SPARSEMEM, it is assumed that a valid section has a memmap for the
entire section.

However, ARM and maybe other embedded architectures in the future free
memmap backing holes to save memory on the assumption the memmap is never
used. The page_zone linkages are then broken even though pfn_valid()
returns true. A walker of the full memmap must then do this additional
check to ensure the memmap they are looking at is sane by making sure the
zone and PFN linkages are still valid. This is expensive, but walkers of
the full memmap are extremely rare.

This was caught before for FLATMEM and hacked around but it hits again for
SPARSEMEM because the page_zone linkages can look ok where the PFN linkages
are totally screwed. This looks like a hatchet job but the reality is that
any clean solution would end up consumning all the memory saved by punching
these unexpected holes in the memmap. For example, we tried marking the
memmap within the section invalid but the section size exceeds the size of
the hole in most cases so pfn_valid() starts returning false where valid
memmap exists. Shrinking the size of the section would increase memory
consumption offsetting the gains.

This patch identifies when an architecture is punching unexpected holes
in the memmap that the memory model cannot automatically detect and sets
ARCH_HAS_HOLES_MEMORYMODEL. At the moment, this is restricted to EP93xx
which is the model sub-architecture this has been reported on but may expand
later. When set, walkers of the full memmap must call memmap_valid_within()
for each PFN and passing in what it expects the page and zone to be for
that PFN. If it finds the linkages to be broken, it assumes the memmap is
invalid for that PFN.

888a589f6b mm, x86: remove MEMORY_HOTPLUG_RESERVE related code
after:

 | commit b263295dbf
 | Author: Christoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com>
 | Date:   Wed Jan 30 13:30:47 2008 +0100
 |
 |    x86: 64-bit, make sparsemem vmemmap the only memory model

we don't have MEMORY_HOTPLUG_RESERVE anymore.

Historically, x86-64 had an architecture-specific method for memory hotplug
whereby it scanned the SRAT for physical memory ranges that could be
potentially used for memory hot-add later. By reserving those ranges
without physical memory, the memmap would be allocated and left dormant
until needed. This depended on the DISCONTIG memory model which has been
removed so the code implementing HOTPLUG_RESERVE is now dead.

This patch removes the dead code used by MEMORY_HOTPLUG_RESERVE.

184dd3459b fcoe: adds spma mode support
If we can find a type NETDEV_HW_ADDR_T_SAN mac address from the
corresponding netdev for a fcoe interface then sets up added the
fc->ctlr.spma flag and stores spma mode address in ctl_src_addr.

In case the spma flag is set then:-

 1. Adds spma mode MAC address in ctl_src_addr as secondary
    MAC address, the FLOGI for FIP and pre-FIP will go out
    using this address.
 2. Cleans up stored spma MAC address in ctl_src_addr in
    fcoe_netdev_cleanup.
 3. Sets up spma bit in fip_flags for FIP solicitations along
    with exiting FPMA bit setting.
 4. Initialize the FLOGI FIP MAC descriptor to stored spma
    MAC address in ctl_src_addr. This is used as proposed
    FCoE MAC address from initiator along with both SPMA
    and FPMA bit set in FIP solicitation, in response the
    switch may grant any FPMA or SPMA mode MAC address to
    initiator.

Removes FIP descriptor type checking against ELS type
ELS_FLOGI in fcoe_ctlr_encaps to update a FIP MAC descriptor,
instead now checks against FIP_DT_FLOGI.

I've tested this with available FPMA-only FCoE switch but
since data_src_addr is updated using same old code for
both FPMA and SPMA modes with FIP or pre-FIP links, so added
SPMA mode will work with SPMA-only switch also provided that
switch grants a valid MAC address.

9d21493b4b net: tx scalability works : trans_start
struct net_device trans_start field is a hot spot on SMP and high performance
devices, particularly multi queues ones, because every transmitter dirties
it. Is main use is tx watchdog and bonding alive checks.

But as most devices dont use NETIF_F_LLTX, we have to lock
a netdev_queue before calling their ndo_start_xmit(). So it makes
sense to move trans_start from net_device to netdev_queue. Its update
will occur on a already present (and in exclusive state) cache line, for
free.

We can do this transition smoothly. An old driver continue to
update dev->trans_start, while an updated one updates txq->trans_start.

Further patches could also put tx_bytes/tx_packets counters in 
netdev_queue to avoid dirtying dev->stats (vlan device comes to mind)

The same can happen for iscsi when transitioning from logged in
to failed and blocking the sdevs.

This patch converts iscsi and fc's transitions back to use DID_IMM_RETRY
instead of DID_TRANSPORT_DISRUPTED which has a limited number of retries
that we do not want to use for handling this race.

9d23a90a67 perf_counter: allow arch to supply event misc flags and instruction pointer
At present the values we put in overflow events for the misc
flags indicating processor mode and the instruction pointer are
obtained using the standard user_mode() and
instruction_pointer() functions. Those functions tell you where
the performance monitor interrupt was taken, which might not be
exactly where the counter overflow occurred, for example
because interrupts were disabled at the point where the
overflow occurred, or because the processor had many
instructions in flight and chose to complete some more
instructions beyond the one that caused the counter overflow.

Some architectures (e.g. powerpc) can supply more precise
information about where the counter overflow occurred and the
processor mode at that point.  This introduces new functions,
perf_misc_flags() and perf_instruction_pointer(), which arch
code can override to provide more precise information if
available.  They have default implementations which are
identical to the existing code.

This also adds a new misc flag value,
PERF_EVENT_MISC_HYPERVISOR, for the case where a counter
overflow occurred in the hypervisor.  We encode the processor
mode in the 2 bits previously used to indicate user or kernel
mode; the values for user and kernel mode are unchanged and
hypervisor mode is indicated by both bits being set.

dce48a84ad sched, timers: move calc_load() to scheduler
Dimitri Sivanich noticed that xtime_lock is held write locked across
calc_load() which iterates over all online CPUs. That can cause long
latencies for xtime_lock readers on large SMP systems. 

The load average calculation is an rough estimate anyway so there is
no real need to protect the readers vs. the update. It's not a problem
when the avenrun array is updated while a reader copies the values.

Instead of iterating over all online CPUs let the scheduler_tick code
update the number of active tasks shortly before the avenrun update
happens. The avenrun update itself is handled by the CPU which calls
do_timer().

cd17cbfda0 Revert "mm: add /proc controls for pdflush threads"
This reverts commit fafd688e4c.

Work is progressing to switch away from pdflush as the process backing
for flushing out dirty data. So it seems pointless to add more knobs
to control pdflush threads. The original author of the patch did not
have any specific use cases for adding the knobs, so we can easily
revert this before 2.6.30 to avoid having to maintain this API
forever.

9e35ad388b perf_counter: Rework the perf counter disable/enable
The current disable/enable mechanism is:

	token = hw_perf_save_disable();
	...
	/* do bits */
	...
	hw_perf_restore(token);

This works well, provided that the use nests properly. Except we don't.

x86 NMI/INT throttling has non-nested use of this, breaking things. Therefore
provide a reference counter disable/enable interface, where the first disable
disables the hardware, and the last enable enables the hardware again.

faa8fdc853 nl80211: Add RSC configuration for new keys
When setting a key with NL80211_CMD_NEW_KEY, we should allow the key
sequence number (RSC) to be set in order to allow replay protection to
work correctly for group keys. This patch documents this use for
nl80211 and adds the couple of missing pieces in nl80211/cfg80211 and
mac80211 to support this. In addition, WEXT SIOCSIWENCODEEXT compat
processing in cfg80211 is extended to handle the RSC (this was already
specified in WEXT, but just not implemented in cfg80211/mac80211).

Add a new NL80211_ATTR_CONTROL_PORT flag for NL80211_CMD_ASSOCIATE to
allow user space to indicate that it will control the IEEE 802.1X port
in station mode. Previously, mac80211 was always marking the port
authorized in station mode. This was enough when drop_unencrypted flag
was set. However, drop_unencrypted can currently be controlled only
with WEXT and the current nl80211 design does not allow fully secure
configuration. Fix this by providing a mechanism for user space to
control the IEEE 802.1X port in station mode (i.e., do the same that
we are already doing in AP mode).
