Vasanthakumar Thiagarajan 6c3118e230 ath9k: Fix bug in starting ani
There are few places where ANI is started without checking
if it is right to start. This might lead to a case where ani
timer would be left undeleted and cause improper memory acccess
during module unload. This bug is clearly exposed with
paprd support where the driver detects tx hang and does a
chip reset. During this reset ani is (re)started without checking
if it needs to be started. This would leave a timer scheduled
even after all the resources are freed and cause a panic.

This patch introduces a bit in sc_flags to indicate if ani
needs to be started in sw_scan_start() and ath_reset().
This would fix the following panic. This issue is easily seen
with ar9003 + paprd.

Alexey Fisher a5c7d797dc ALSA: usb-audio - Add volume resolution quirk for some Logitech webcams
Some programs like Skype trying to set capture volume automatically.
Normally it will tray, carefully step by step lover or higher, set the volume.
In real word it work not really well, because devises and vendors lie about
real audio settings.
For example most Logitech webcams have 6400 or 3500 steps for capture volume.
They do not tell that actual resolution is 384. So we have only 7 or 18 real
steps. In this patch I set real resolution only for tested devices.

Daniel J Blueman f3b577dec1 rcu: apply RCU protection to wake_affine()
The task_group() function returns a pointer that must be protected
by either RCU, the ->alloc_lock, or the cgroup lock (see the
rcu_dereference_check() in task_subsys_state(), which is invoked by
task_group()).  The wake_affine() function currently does none of these,
which means that a concurrent update would be within its rights to free
the structure returned by task_group().  Because wake_affine() uses this
structure only to compute load-balancing heuristics, there is no reason
to acquire either of the two locks.

Therefore, this commit introduces an RCU read-side critical section that
starts before the first call to task_group() and ends after the last use
of the "tg" pointer returned from task_group().  Thanks to Li Zefan for
pointing out the need to extend the RCU read-side critical section from
that proposed by the original patch.

Michael S. Tsirkin b03214d559 virtio-pci: disable msi at startup
virtio-pci resets the device at startup by writing to the status
register, but this does not clear the pci config space,
specifically msi enable status which affects register
layout.

This breaks things like kdump when they try to use e.g. virtio-blk.

Fix by forcing msi off at startup. Since pci.c already has
a routine to do this, we export and use it instead of duplicating code.

Sage Weil 17c688c3df ceph: delay umount until all mds requests drop inode+dentry refs
This fixes a race between handle_reply finishing an mds request, signalling
completion, and then dropping the request structing and its dentry+inode
refs, and pre_umount function waiting for requests to finish before
letting the vfs tear down the dcache.  If umount was delayed waiting for
mds requests, we could race and BUG in shrink_dcache_for_umount_subtree
because of a slow dput.

This delays umount until the msgr queue flushes, which means handle_reply
will exit and will have dropped the ceph_mds_request struct.  I'm assuming
the VFS has already ensured that its calls have all completed and those
request refs have thus been dropped as well (I haven't seen that race, at
least).

Jean Delvare cd4de21f7e hwmon: (k8temp) Bypass core swapping on single-core processors
Commit a2e066bba2 introduced core
swapping for CPU models 64 and later. I recently had a report about
a Sempron 3200+, model 95, for which this patch broke temperature
reading. It happens that this is a single-core processor, so the
effect of the swapping was to read a temperature value for a core
that didn't exist, leading to an incorrect value (-49 degrees C.)

Disabling core swapping on singe-core processors should fix this.

Additional comment from Andreas:

The BKDG says

  Thermal Sensor Core Select (ThermSenseCoreSel)-Bit 2. This bit
  selects the CPU whose temperature is reported in the CurTemp
  field. This bit only applies to dual core processors. For
  single core processors CPU0 Thermal Sensor is always selected.

k8temp_probe() correctly detected that SEL_CORE can't be used on single
core CPU. Thus k8temp did never update the temperature values stored
in temp[1][x] and -49 degrees was reported. For single core CPUs we
must use the values read into temp[0][x].

0.

flip instruction, and (supposedly) clear it once the flip completes
(e.g. at the next vblank).  If we try to send down a flip instruction
while the ISR bit is set, the hardware can become very confused, and we
may never receive the corresponding flip pending interrupt, effectively
hanging the chip.

Bob Copeland b6855772f4 ath5k: initialize ah->ah_current_channel
ath5k assumes ah_current_channel is always a valid pointer in
several places, but a newly created interface may not have a
channel.  To avoid null pointer dereferences, set it up to point
to the first available channel until later reconfigured.

This fixes the following oops:
$ rmmod ath5k
$ insmod ath5k
$ iw phy0 set distance 11000

Vivek Goyal e98ef89b30 cfq-iosched: Fixed boot warning with BLK_CGROUP=y and CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED=n
Hi Jens,

Few days back Ingo noticed a CFQ boot time warning. This patch fixes it.
The issue here is that with CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED=n, CFQ should not really
be making blkio stat related calls.

Rafael J. Wysocki b27759f880 PCI/PM: Do not use native PCIe PME by default
Commit c7f486567c
(PCI PM: PCIe PME root port service driver) causes the native PCIe
PME signaling to be used by default, if the BIOS allows the kernel to
control the standard configuration registers of PCIe root ports.
However, the native PCIe PME is coupled to the native PCIe hotplug
and calling pcie_pme_acpi_setup() makes some BIOSes expect that
the native PCIe hotplug will be used as well.  That, in turn, causes
problems to appear on systems where the PCIe hotplug driver is not
loaded.  The usual symptom, as reported by Jaroslav Kameník and
others, is that the ACPI GPE associated with PCIe hotplug keeps
firing continuously causing kacpid to take substantial percentage
of CPU time.

To work around this issue, change the default so that the native
PCIe PME signaling is only used if directly requested with the help
of the pcie_pme= command line switch.

Fixes https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15924 , which is
a listed regression from 2.6.33.

Tejun Heo 9983b6f0cf percpu: fix first chunk match in per_cpu_ptr_to_phys()
per_cpu_ptr_to_phys() determines whether the passed in @addr belongs
to the first_chunk or not by just matching the address against the
address range of the base unit (unit0, used by cpu0).  When an adress
from another cpu was passed in, it will always determine that the
address doesn't belong to the first chunk even when it does.  This
makes the function return a bogus physical address which may lead to
crash.

This problem was discovered by Cliff Wickman while investigating a
crash during kdump on a SGI UV system.

Michal Marek 09155120cf kbuild: Clean up and speed up the localversion logic
Now that we run scripts/setlocalversion during every build, it makes
sense to move all the localversion logic there. This cleans up the
toplevel Makefile and also makes sure that the script is called only
once in 'make prepare' (previously, it would be called every time due to
a variable expansion in an ifneq statement). No user-visible change is
intended, unless one runs the setlocalversion script directly.

Alex,Shi 3c93717cfa sched: Fix over-scheduling bug
Commit e70971591 ("sched: Optimize unused cgroup configuration") introduced
an imbalanced scheduling bug.

If we do not use CGROUP, function update_h_load won't update h_load. When the
system has a large number of tasks far more than logical CPU number, the
incorrect cfs_rq[cpu]->h_load value will cause load_balance() to pull too
many tasks to the local CPU from the busiest CPU. So the busiest CPU keeps
going in a round robin. That will hurt performance.

The issue was found originally by a scientific calculation workload that
developed by Yanmin. With that commit, the workload performance drops
about 40%.
