af6a4e280e [PATCH] knfsd: add some new fsid types
Add support for using a filesystem UUID to identify and export point in the
filehandle.

For NFSv2, this UUID is xor-ed down to 4 or 8 bytes so that it doesn't take up
too much room.  For NFSv3+, we use the full 16 bytes, and possibly also a
64bit inode number for exports beneath the root of a filesystem.

When generating an fsid to return in 'stat' information, use the UUID (hashed
down to size) if it is available and a small 'fsid' was not specifically
provided.

b7de8e7e3c [PATCH] ia64: fix noncoherent DMA API so devres builds
On ia64, drivers/base/dma-mapping.c doesn't build because it calls
dma_alloc_noncoherent() and dma_free_noncoherent(), which appear to be
terminally broken; the calls end up generating errors like

    drivers/base/dma-mapping.c: In function 'dmam_noncoherent_release':
    drivers/base/dma-mapping.c:32: error: 'struct ia64_machine_vector' has no member named 'platform_dma_free_coherent'

because the multiple levels of macro expansion in <asm/dma-mapping.h> and
<asm/machvec.h> end up turning a call to dma_free_noncoherent() into
ia64_mv.platform_dma_free_coherent (instead of the intended
ia64_mv.dma_free_coherent).

This patch fixes this by converting dma_{alloc,free}_noncoherent() into
inline functions that call the corresponding coherent functions, instead of
trying to do this with macros.

588ef76935 [ARM] 4184/1: iop: cp6 access handler (undef_hook)
Enable svc access to cp6 via an undefined instruction hook.  Do not enable
access for usr code.

This patch also makes iop13xx select PLAT_IOP, this requires a small change
to drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-iop3xx.c.

Per Lennert Buytenhek's note, the cp6 trap routine is moved to arch/arm/plat-iop
Per Nicolas Pitre's note, the cp_wait is skipped since the latency to
return to the faulting function is longer than cp_wait.

719c91ccad [POWERPC] Use udbg_early_init() on ppc32
udbg_early_init() is a function used on 64 bit systems, which
initializes whichever early udbg backend is configured.  This function
is not called on 32-bit, however if btext early debug is enabled it
does have an explicit, inline, #ifdef-ed assignment performing
analagous initialization.

This patch makes things more uniform by folding the btext
initialization as an option into udbg_early_init() and calling that
from the 32-bit setup path.

f37dd80ac2 i2c: Add driver suspend/resume/shutdown support
Driver model updates for the I2C core:

 - Add new suspend(), resume(), and shutdown() methods.  Use them in the
   standard driver model style; document them.

 - Minor doc updates to highlight zero-initialized fields in drivers, and
   the driver model accessors for "clientdata".

If any i2c drivers were previously using the old suspend/resume calls
in "struct driver", they were getting warning messages ... and will
now no longer work.  Other than that, this patch changes no behaviors;
and it lets I2C drivers use conventional PM and shutdown support.

people couldn't use "var" in a non-percpu context, by prepending

It is only one of many horrors in the i386 boot code, but let's rename
the non-perpcu cpu_gdt_descr to early_gdt_descr (not boot_gdt_descr,
that's something else...)

ee4eff6ff6 [PATCH] x86-64: update IO-APIC dest field to 8-bit for xAPIC
On the Unisys ES7000/ONE system, we encountered a problem where performing
a kexec reboot or dump on any cell other than cell 0 causes the system
timer to stop working, resulting in a hang during timer calibration in the
new kernel.

We traced the problem to one line of code in disable_IO_APIC(), which needs
to restore the timer's IO-APIC configuration before rebooting.  The code is
currently using the 4-bit physical destination field, rather than using the
8-bit logical destination field, and it cuts off the upper 4 bits of the
timer's APIC ID.  If we change this to use the logical destination field,
the timer works and we can kexec on the upper cells.  This was tested on
two different cells (0 and 2) in an ES7000/ONE system.

For reference, the relevant Intel xAPIC spec is kept at
ftp://download.intel.com/design/chipsets/e8501/datashts/30962001.pdf,
specifically on page 334.

5d0e600d90 [PATCH] x86: fix laptop bootup hang in init_acpi()
During kernel bootup, a new T60 laptop (CoreDuo, 32-bit) hangs about
10%-20% of the time in acpi_init():

 Calling initcall 0xc055ce1a: topology_init+0x0/0x2f()
 Calling initcall 0xc055d75e: mtrr_init_finialize+0x0/0x2c()
 Calling initcall 0xc05664f3: param_sysfs_init+0x0/0x175()
 Calling initcall 0xc014cb65: pm_sysrq_init+0x0/0x17()
 Calling initcall 0xc0569f99: init_bio+0x0/0xf4()
 Calling initcall 0xc056b865: genhd_device_init+0x0/0x50()
 Calling initcall 0xc056c4bd: fbmem_init+0x0/0x87()
 Calling initcall 0xc056dd74: acpi_init+0x0/0x1ee()

It's a hard hang that not even an NMI could punch through!  Frustratingly,
adding printks or function tracing to the ACPI code made the hangs go away
...

After some time an additional detail emerged: disabling the NMI watchdog
made these occasional hangs go away.

So i spent the better part of today trying to debug this and trying out
various theories when i finally found the likely reason for the hang: if
acpi_ns_initialize_devices() executes an _INI AML method and an NMI
happens to hit that AML execution in the wrong moment, the machine would
hang.  (my theory is that this must be some sort of chipset setup method
doing stores to chipset mmio registers?)

Unfortunately given the characteristics of the hang it was sheer
impossible to figure out which of the numerous AML methods is impacted
by this problem.

As a workaround i wrote an interface to disable chipset-based NMIs while
executing _INI sections - and indeed this fixed the hang.  I did a
boot-loop of 100 separate reboots and none hung - while without the patch
it would hang every 5-10 attempts.  Out of caution i did not touch the
nmi_watchdog=2 case (it's not related to the chipset anyway and didnt
hang).

I implemented this for both x86_64 and i686, tested the i686 laptop both
with nmi_watchdog=1 [which triggered the hangs] and nmi_watchdog=2, and
tested an Athlon64 box with the 64-bit kernel as well. Everything builds
and works with the patch applied.

a98f0dd34d [PATCH] x86-64: Allow to run a program when a machine check event is detected
When a machine check event is detected (including a AMD RevF threshold
overflow event) allow to run a "trigger" program. This allows user space
to react to such events sooner.

The trigger is configured using a new trigger entry in the
machinecheck sysfs interface. It is currently shared between
all CPUs.

I also fixed the AMD threshold handler to run the machine
check polling code immediately to actually log any events
that might have caused the threshold interrupt.

Also added some documentation for the mce sysfs interface.
