948cd52906 sparseirq: Allow early irq_desc allocation
Presently non-legacy IRQs have their irq_desc allocated with
kzalloc_node(). This assumes that all callers of irq_to_desc_node_alloc()
will be sufficiently late in the boot process that kmalloc is available.

While porting sparseirq support to sh this blew up immediately, as at the
time that we register the CPU's interrupt vector map only bootmem is
available. Check slab_is_available() to work out which path to use.

[ Impact: fix SH early boot crash with sparseirq enabled ]

14f0aa3593 [ARM] disable NX support for OABI-supporting kernels
Our signal syscall restart handling for these kernels still uses
the userspace stack to build code for restarting the syscall.
Unfortunately, fixing this is non-trivial, and so for the time
being, we resolve the problem by disabling NX support.

c72758f337 block: Export I/O topology for block devices and partitions
To support devices with physical block sizes bigger than 512 bytes we
need to ensure proper alignment.  This patch adds support for exposing
I/O topology characteristics as devices are stacked.

  logical_block_size is the smallest unit the device can address.

  physical_block_size indicates the smallest I/O the device can write
  without incurring a read-modify-write penalty.

  The io_min parameter is the smallest preferred I/O size reported by
  the device.  In many cases this is the same as the physical block
  size.  However, the io_min parameter can be scaled up when stacking
  (RAID5 chunk size > physical block size).

  The io_opt characteristic indicates the optimal I/O size reported by
  the device.  This is usually the stripe width for arrays.

  The alignment_offset parameter indicates the number of bytes the start
  of the device/partition is offset from the device's natural alignment.
  Partition tools and MD/DM utilities can use this to pad their offsets
  so filesystems start on proper boundaries.

cd43e26f07 block: Expose stacked device queues in sysfs
Currently stacking devices do not have a queue directory in sysfs.
However, many of the I/O characteristics like sector size, maximum
request size, etc. are queue properties.

This patch enables the queue directory for MD/DM devices.  The elevator
code has been modified to deal with queues that do not have an I/O
scheduler.

e1defc4ff0 block: Do away with the notion of hardsect_size
Until now we have had a 1:1 mapping between storage device physical
block size and the logical block sized used when addressing the device.
With SATA 4KB drives coming out that will no longer be the case.  The
sector size will be 4KB but the logical block size will remain
512-bytes.  Hence we need to distinguish between the physical block size
and the logical ditto.

This patch renames hardsect_size to logical_block_size.

619ac3b75a drm/i915: Use an I2C algo to do the flip to SDVO DDC bus.
Previously, we would set the control bus switch before calls were made
to request EDID information over DDC.  But recently the DDC code started
doing multiple I2C transfers to get the EDID extensions as well.  This
tripped up SDVO, because the control bus switch is only in effect until
the next STOP after a START.  By doing our own algo, we can wrap each i2c
transaction on the DDC I2C bus with the control bus switch it requires.

ad5b2a6db3 drm/i915: Determine type before initialising connector
drm_connector_init sets both the connector type and the connector type_id
on the newly initialised connector.  As the connector type_id is coupled to
the connector type, the connector type cannot simply be modified on an
initialised connector.

This patch changes the order of operations on intel_sdvo_init so that the
type is determined before the connector is intialised.

This fixes a bug whereby the name card0-VGA-1 would be allocted to both a
CRT and an SDVO connector since the SDVO connector would be initialised
with type 'unknown' and hence have its type_id assigned from the wrong pool.

bca23dba76 x86, setup: revert ACPI 3 E820 extended attributes support
Remove ACPI 3 E820 extended memory attributes support.  At least one
vendor actively set all the flags to zero, but left ECX on return at
24.  This bug may be present in other BIOSes.

The breakage functionally means the ACPI 3 flags are probably
completely useless, and that no OS any time soon is going to rely on
their existence.  Therefore, drop support completely.  We may want to
revisit this question in the future, if we find ourselves actually
needing the flags.

This reverts all or part of the following checkins:

     cd670599b7
     c549e71d07

However, retain the part from the latter commit that copies e820 into
a temporary buffer; that is an unrelated BIOS workaround.  Put in a
comment to explain that part.

See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=499396 for some
additional information.

It is possible for ide-cd to ignore ide_error()'s return value under
some circumstances.  Workaround it in ide_intr() and ide_timer_expiry()
by checking if there is a device/port reset pending currently.

  commit 8588a2b732
  ("ide: add SH-S202J to ivb_list[]")

We also later added support for more such devices in:

  commit e97564f362
  ("ide: More TSST drives with broken cable detection")

and in:

  commit 3ced5c49bd
  ("ide: add TSSTcorp CDDVDW SH-S202H to ivb_list[]")

It turns out that such devices lack cable detection altogether
(which in turn results in incorrect detection of 40-wire cables
by our current cable detection strategy) so always handle them
by trusting host-side cable detection only.

v2:

564c2b210a perf_counter: Optimize context switch between identical inherited contexts
When monitoring a process and its descendants with a set of inherited
counters, we can often get the situation in a context switch where
both the old (outgoing) and new (incoming) process have the same set
of counters, and their values are ultimately going to be added together.
In that situation it doesn't matter which set of counters are used to
count the activity for the new process, so there is really no need to
go through the process of reading the hardware counters and updating
the old task's counters and then setting up the PMU for the new task.

This optimizes the context switch in this situation.  Instead of
scheduling out the perf_counter_context for the old task and
scheduling in the new context, we simply transfer the old context
to the new task and keep using it without interruption.  The new
context gets transferred to the old task.  This means that both
tasks still have a valid perf_counter_context, so no special case
is introduced when the old task gets scheduled in again, either on
this CPU or another CPU.

The equivalence of contexts is detected by keeping a pointer in
each cloned context pointing to the context it was cloned from.
To cope with the situation where a context is changed by adding
or removing counters after it has been cloned, we also keep a
generation number on each context which is incremented every time
a context is changed.  When a context is cloned we take a copy
of the parent's generation number, and two cloned contexts are
equivalent only if they have the same parent and the same
generation number.  In order that the parent context pointer
remains valid (and is not reused), we increment the parent
context's reference count for each context cloned from it.

Since we don't have individual fds for the counters in a cloned
context, the only thing that can make two clones of a given parent
different after they have been cloned is enabling or disabling all
counters with prctl.  To account for this, we keep a count of the
number of enabled counters in each context.  Two contexts must have
the same number of enabled counters to be considered equivalent.

Here are some measurements of the context switch time as measured with
the lat_ctx benchmark from lmbench, comparing the times obtained with
and without this patch series:

		-----Unmodified-----		With this patch series
Counters:	none	2 HW	4H+4S	none	2 HW	4H+4S

2 processes:
Average		3.44	6.45	11.24	3.12	3.39	3.60
St dev		0.04	0.04	0.13	0.05	0.17	0.19

8 processes:
Average		6.45	8.79	14.00	5.57	6.23	7.57
St dev		1.27	1.04	0.88	1.42	1.46	1.42

32 processes:
Average		5.56	8.43	13.78	5.28	5.55	7.15
St dev		0.41	0.47	0.53	0.54	0.57	0.81

The numbers are the mean and standard deviation of 20 runs of
lat_ctx.  The "none" columns are lat_ctx run directly without any
counters.  The "2 HW" columns are with lat_ctx run under perfstat,
counting cycles and instructions.  The "4H+4S" columns are lat_ctx run
under perfstat with 4 hardware counters and 4 software counters
(cycles, instructions, cache references, cache misses, task
clock, context switch, cpu migrations, and page faults).

a63eaf34ae perf_counter: Dynamically allocate tasks' perf_counter_context struct
This replaces the struct perf_counter_context in the task_struct with
a pointer to a dynamically allocated perf_counter_context struct.  The
main reason for doing is this is to allow us to transfer a
perf_counter_context from one task to another when we do lazy PMU
switching in a later patch.

This has a few side-benefits: the task_struct becomes a little smaller,
we save some memory because only tasks that have perf_counters attached
get a perf_counter_context allocated for them, and we can remove the
inclusion of <linux/perf_counter.h> in sched.h, meaning that we don't
end up recompiling nearly everything whenever perf_counter.h changes.

The perf_counter_context structures are reference-counted and freed
when the last reference is dropped.  A context can have references
from its task and the counters on its task.  Counters can outlive the
task so it is possible that a context will be freed well after its
task has exited.

Contexts are allocated on fork if the parent had a context, or
otherwise the first time that a per-task counter is created on a task.
In the latter case, we set the context pointer in the task struct
locklessly using an atomic compare-and-exchange operation in case we
raced with some other task in creating a context for the subject task.

This also removes the task pointer from the perf_counter struct.  The
task pointer was not used anywhere and would make it harder to move a
context from one task to another.  Anything that needed to know which
task a counter was attached to was already using counter->ctx->task.

The __perf_counter_init_context function moves up in perf_counter.c
so that it can be called from find_get_context, and now initializes
the refcount, but is otherwise unchanged.

We were potentially calling list_del_counter twice: once from
__perf_counter_exit_task when the task exits and once from
__perf_counter_remove_from_context when the counter's fd gets closed.
This adds a check in list_del_counter so it doesn't do anything if
the counter has already been removed from the lists.

Since perf_counter_task_sched_in doesn't do anything if the task doesn't
have a context, and leaves cpuctx->task_ctx = NULL, this adds code to
__perf_install_in_context to set cpuctx->task_ctx if necessary, i.e. in
the case where the current task adds the first counter to itself and
thus creates a context for itself.

This also adds similar code to __perf_counter_enable to handle a
similar situation which can arise when the counters have been disabled
using prctl; that also leaves cpuctx->task_ctx = NULL.
