a1910f9cad mac80211_hwsim: fix wmediumd_pid
Fix a few minor issues with wmediumd_pid:
a) make static
b) use u32 to match the snd_pid type
c) use ACCESS_ONCE since we don't lock it
d) don't explicitly initialize to 0

356cb55d81 ath9k: validate for non-zero BSSID
before concluding that the recieved beacon is for us, let us make sure
that the BSSID is non-zero. when I configured ad-hoc mode as creator and
left it for some time without joining I found we recieved few frames whose
BSSID is zero, which we concluded wrongly as 'my_beacons'

All requests of a queue could be merged to other requests of other queue.
Such queue will not have request in it, but it's in service tree. This

ab2789213d sched: Fix select_idle_sibling() regression in selecting an idle SMT sibling
Mike Galbraith reported that this recent commit:

   commit 4dcfe1025b
   Author: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>
   Date:   Thu Nov 10 13:01:10 2011 +0100

       sched: Avoid SMT siblings in select_idle_sibling() if possible

stopped selecting an idle SMT sibling when there are no idle
cores in a single socket system.

Intent of the select_idle_sibling() was to fallback to an idle
SMT sibling, if it fails to identify an idle core. But this
fallback was not happening on systems where all the scheduler
domains had `SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES' flag set.

Fix it. Slightly bigger patch of cleaning all these goto's etc
is queued up for the next release.

8e609d5e7b powerpc/pmac: Simplify old pmac PIC interrupt handling
In the old days, we treated all interrupts from the legacy Apple home made
interrupt controllers as level, with a trick reading the "level" register
along with the "event" register to work arounds bugs where it would
occasionally fail to latch some events.

Doing so appeared to work fine for both level and edge interrupts.

Later on, we discovered in Darwin source the magic masks that define which
interrupts are actually level and which are edge, and implemented a
different algorithm, more similar to what Apple does, that treats those
differently.

I recently discovered however that this caused problems (including loss
of interrupts) with an old Wallstreet PowerBook when trying to use the
internal modem (connected to a cascaded controller).

It looks like some interrupts are treated as edge while they are really
level and I'm starting to seriously doubt the correctness of the Darwin
code (which has other obvious bugs when you read it, so ...)

This patch reverts to our original behaviour of treating everything as
a level interrupt. It appears to solve the problems with the modem on
the Wallstreet and everything else seems to be working properly as well.

a79dd5ae5a tty/serial/pmac_zilog: Fix suspend & resume
This patch reworks & simplifies pmac_zilog handling of suspend/resume,
essentially removing all the specific code in there and using the
generic uart helpers.

This required properly registering the tty as a child of the macio (or platform)
device, so I had to delay the registration a bit (we used to register the ports
very very early). We still register the kernel console early though.

I removed a couple of unused or useless flags as well, relying on the
core to not call us when asleep. I also removed the essentially useless
interrupt mutex, simplifying the locking a bit.

I removed some code for handling unexpected interrupt which should never
be hit and could potentially be harmful (causing us to access a register
on a powered off SCC). We diable port interrupts on close always so there
should be no need to drain data on a closed port.

6c52961743 NFS: Fix a regression in nfs_file_llseek()
After commit 06222e491e (fs: handle
SEEK_HOLE/SEEK_DATA properly in all fs's that define their own llseek)
the behaviour of llseek() was changed so that it always revalidates
the file size. The bug appears to be due to a logic error in the
afore-mentioned commit, which always evaluates to 'true'.

ca3d30cc02 x86_64, asm: Optimise fls(), ffs() and fls64()
fls(N), ffs(N) and fls64(N) can be optimised on x86_64.  Currently they use a
CMOV instruction after the BSR/BSF to set the destination register to -1 if the
value to be scanned was 0 (in which case BSR/BSF set the Z flag).

Instead, according to the AMD64 specification, we can make use of the fact that
BSR/BSF doesn't modify its output register if its input is 0.  By preloading
the output with -1 and incrementing the result, we achieve the desired result
without the need for a conditional check.

The Intel x86_64 specification, however, says that the result of BSR/BSF in
such a case is undefined.  That said, when queried, one of the Intel CPU
architects said that the behaviour on all Intel CPUs is that:

 (1) with BSRQ/BSFQ, the 64-bit destination register is written with its
     original value if the source is 0, thus, in essence, giving the effect we
     want.  And,

 (2) with BSRL/BSFL, the lower half of the 64-bit destination register is
     written with its original value if the source is 0, and the upper half is
     cleared, thus giving us the effect we want (we return a 4-byte int).

Further, it was indicated that they (Intel) are unlikely to get away with
changing the behaviour.

It might be possible to optimise the 32-bit versions of these functions, but
there's a lot more variation, and so the effective non-destructive property of
BSRL/BSRF cannot be relied on.

[ hpa: specifically, some 486 chips are known to NOT have this property. ]

I have benchmarked these functions on my Core2 Duo test machine using the
following program:

	#include <stdlib.h>
	#include <stdio.h>

	#ifndef __x86_64__
	#error
	#endif

	#define PAGE_SHIFT 12

	typedef unsigned long long __u64, u64;
	typedef unsigned int __u32, u32;
	#define noinline	__attribute__((noinline))

	static __always_inline int fls64(__u64 x)
	{
		long bitpos = -1;

		asm("bsrq %1,%0"
		    : "+r" (bitpos)
		    : "rm" (x));
		return bitpos + 1;
	}

	static inline unsigned long __fls(unsigned long word)
	{
		asm("bsr %1,%0"
		    : "=r" (word)
		    : "rm" (word));
		return word;
	}
	static __always_inline int old_fls64(__u64 x)
	{
		if (x == 0)
			return 0;
		return __fls(x) + 1;
	}

	static noinline // __attribute__((const))
	int old_get_order(unsigned long size)
	{
		int order;

		size = (size - 1) >> (PAGE_SHIFT - 1);
		order = -1;
		do {
			size >>= 1;
			order++;
		} while (size);
		return order;
	}

	static inline __attribute__((const))
	int get_order_old_fls64(unsigned long size)
	{
		int order;
		size--;
		size >>= PAGE_SHIFT;
		order = old_fls64(size);
		return order;
	}

	static inline __attribute__((const))
	int get_order(unsigned long size)
	{
		int order;
		size--;
		size >>= PAGE_SHIFT;
		order = fls64(size);
		return order;
	}

	unsigned long prevent_optimise_out;

	static noinline unsigned long test_old_get_order(void)
	{
		unsigned long n, total = 0;
		long rep, loop;

		for (rep = 1000000; rep > 0; rep--) {
			for (loop = 0; loop <= 16384; loop += 4) {
				n = 1UL << loop;
				total += old_get_order(n);
			}
		}
		return total;
	}

	static noinline unsigned long test_get_order_old_fls64(void)
	{
		unsigned long n, total = 0;
		long rep, loop;

		for (rep = 1000000; rep > 0; rep--) {
			for (loop = 0; loop <= 16384; loop += 4) {
				n = 1UL << loop;
				total += get_order_old_fls64(n);
			}
		}
		return total;
	}

	static noinline unsigned long test_get_order(void)
	{
		unsigned long n, total = 0;
		long rep, loop;

		for (rep = 1000000; rep > 0; rep--) {
			for (loop = 0; loop <= 16384; loop += 4) {
				n = 1UL << loop;
				total += get_order(n);
			}
		}
		return total;
	}

	int main(int argc, char **argv)
	{
		unsigned long total;

		switch (argc) {
		case 1:  total = test_old_get_order();		break;
		case 2:  total = test_get_order_old_fls64();	break;
		default: total = test_get_order();		break;
		}
		prevent_optimise_out = total;
		return 0;
	}

This allows me to test the use of the old fls64() implementation and the new
fls64() implementation and also to contrast these to the out-of-line loop-based
implementation of get_order().  The results were:

	warthog>time ./get_order
	real    1m37.191s
	user    1m36.313s
	sys     0m0.861s
	warthog>time ./get_order x
	real    0m16.892s
	user    0m16.586s
	sys     0m0.287s
	warthog>time ./get_order x x
	real    0m7.731s
	user    0m7.727s
	sys     0m0.002s

Using the current upstream fls64() as a basis for an inlined get_order() [the
second result above] is much faster than using the current out-of-line
loop-based get_order() [the first result above].

Using my optimised inline fls64()-based get_order() [the third result above]
is even faster still.

1. That file provides fls64(), but the corresponding function fls() is

2. The implementation of fls64.h uses kernel-only symbols.
3. fls64.h is not exported to user space.

This appears to have been a bug introduced in checkin:

DFS has been tested for each chipset. Push for public
documentation of the requirements we want in place and
allow for enabling each chipset through a single upstream
commit.

00d2ec0c5f brcmsmac: Replace kmalloc/memset with kzalloc
In ai_attach(), space is allocated for an si_info struct. Immediately
after the allocation, routine ai_doattach() is called and that allocated
space is set to zero. As no other routine calls ai_doattach(), kzalloc()
can be utilized.

MCI is the Message Coexistence Interface, a private protocol
used exclusively for WLAN-BT coexistence starting from
AR9462.

3ad2952998 ath9k: simplify tx locking
Instead of releasing and taking back the lock over and over again in the
tx path, hold the lock a bit longer, requiring much fewer lock/unlock pairs.
This makes locking much easier to review and should not have any noticeable
performance/latency impact.

da647626c7 ath9k: change maximum software retransmission handling
Instead of limiting a subframe to 10 A-MPDU software transmission attempts,
count hardware retransmissions as well and raise the limit a bit. That way
there will be fewer software retransmission attempts when traffic suffers
from lots of hardware retransmissions.

cf6bb79ad8 mac80211: Use appropriate TID for sending BAR, ADDBA and DELBA frames
Currently BAR, ADDBA and DELBA frames are always sent using AC_VO. If
the TID for which a BA session is established is assigned to a different
queue BAR, ADDBA and DELBA frames can "overtake" frames of the according
BA session.

Hence, always put BA session related frames into the same queue as the
BA sessions data frames.

4d33960bf9 mac80211: reduce station management complexity
Now that IBSS no longer needs to insert stations
from atomic context, we can get rid of all the
special cases for that, and even get rid of the
sta_lock (though it needs to stay as tim_lock.)

This makes the station management code much more
straight-forward.

8bf11d8d08 mac80211: delay IBSS station insertion
In order to notify drivers and simplify the station
management code, defer IBSS station insertion to a
work item and don't do it directly while receiving
a frame.

This increases the complexity in IBSS a little bit,
but it's pretty straight forward and it allows us
to reduce the station management complexity (next
patch) considerably.

29623892e1 mac80211: count authorized stations per BSS
Currently, each AP interface will send multicast
traffic if any interface has a station entry even
if that station entry is allocated only. With the
new station state management we can easily fix it
by adding a counter that counts each authorized
station only and send multicast traffic only when
the correct interface has at least one authorized
station.

d9a7ddb05e mac80211: refactor station state transitions
Station entries can have various states, the most
important ones being auth, assoc and authorized.
This patch prepares us for telling the driver about
these states, we don't want to confuse drivers with
strange transitions, so with this we enforce that
they move in the right order between them (back and
forth); some transitions might happen before the
driver even knows about the station, but at least
runtime transitions will be ordered correctly.

As a consequence, IBSS and MESH stations will now
have the ASSOC flag set (so they can transition to
AUTHORIZED), and we can get rid of a special case
in TX processing.

When freeing a station, unwind the state so that
other parts of the code (or drivers later) can rely
on the transitions.
