Brian Haley 5a31bec014 Bonding: fix zero address hole bug in arp_ip_target list
Fix a zero address hole bug in the bonding arp_ip_target list
that was causing the bond to ignore ARP replies (bugz 13006).
Instead of just setting the array entry to zero, we now
copy any additional entries down one slot, putting the
zero entry at the end.  With this change we can now have
all the loops that walk the array stop when they hit a zero
since there will be no addresses after it.

Changes are based in part on code fragment provided in kernel:

The sketch file is a file to mark checkpoints with user data.  It was
experimentally introduced in the original implementation, and now
obsolete.  The file was handled differently with regular files; the file
size got truncated when a checkpoint was created.

This stops the special treatment and will treat it as a regular file.
Most users are not affected because mkfs.nilfs2 no longer makes this file.

Add disable_kprobe() and enable_kprobe() to disable/enable kprobes
temporarily.

disable_kprobe() asynchronously disables probe handlers of specified
kprobe.  So, after calling it, some handlers can be called at a while.
enable_kprobe() enables specified kprobe.

aggr_pre_handler and aggr_post_handler check disabled probes.  On the
other hand aggr_break_handler and aggr_fault_handler don't check it
because these handlers will be called while executing pre or post handlers
and usually those help error handling.

Peter W Morreale fafd688e4c mm: add /proc controls for pdflush threads
Add /proc entries to give the admin the ability to control the minimum and
maximum number of pdflush threads.  This allows finer control of pdflush
on both large and small machines.

The rationale is simply one size does not fit all.  Admins on large and/or
small systems may want to tune the min/max pdflush thread count to best
suit their needs.  Right now the min/max is hardcoded to 2/8.  While
probably a fair estimate for smaller machines, large machines with large
numbers of CPUs and large numbers of filesystems/block devices may benefit
from larger numbers of threads working on different block devices.

Even if the background flushing algorithm is radically changed, it is
still likely that multiple threads will be involved and admins would still
desire finer control on the min/max other than to have to recompile the
kernel.

The patch adds '/proc/sys/vm/nr_pdflush_threads_min' and
'/proc/sys/vm/nr_pdflush_threads_max' with r/w permissions.

The minimum value for nr_pdflush_threads_min is 1 and the maximum value is
the current value of nr_pdflush_threads_max.  This minimum is required
since additional thread creation is performed in a pdflush thread itself.

The minimum value for nr_pdflush_threads_max is the current value of
nr_pdflush_threads_min and the maximum value can be 1000.

Documentation/sysctl/vm.txt is also updated.

unsik Kim 3fbed4c61a mflash: initial support
This driver supports mflash IO mode for linux.

Mflash is embedded flash drive and mainly targeted mobile and consumer
electronic devices.

Internally, mflash has nand flash and other hardware logics and supports 2
different operation (ATA, IO) modes.  ATA mode doesn't need any new driver
and currently works well under standard IDE subsystem.  Actually it's one
chip SSD.  IO mode is ATA-like custom mode for the host that doesn't have
IDE interface.

Followings are brief descriptions about IO mode.
A. IO mode based on ATA protocol and uses some custom command. (read confirm,
write confirm)
B. IO mode uses SRAM bus interface.
C. IO mode supports 4kB boot area, so host can boot from mflash.

This driver is quitely similar to a standard ATA driver, but because of
following reasons it is currently seperated with ATA layer.

1. ATA layer deals standard ATA protocol.  ATA layer have many low-
   level device specific interface, but data transfer keeps ATA rule.
   But, mflash IO mode doesn't.

2. Even though currently not used in mflash driver code, mflash has
   some custom command and modes.  (nand fusing, firmware patch, etc) If
   this feature supported in linux kernel, ATA layer more altered.

3. Currently PATA platform device driver doesn't support interrupt.
   (I'm not sure) But, mflash uses interrupt (polling mode is just for
   debug).

4. mflash is somewhat under-develop product.  Even though some company
   already using mflash their own product, I think more time is needed for
   standardization of custom command and mode.  That time (maybe October)
   I will talk to with ATA people.  If they accept integration, I will
   integrate.

Robert Jarzmik 256b02332a V4L/DVB (11321): pxa_camera: Redesign DMA handling
The DMA transfers in pxa_camera showed some weaknesses in
multiple queued buffers context :
 - poll/select problem
   The bug shows up with capture_example tool from v4l2 hg
   tree. The process just "stalls" on a "select timeout".

 - multiple buffers DMA starting
   When multiple buffers were queued, the DMA channels were
   always started right away. This is not optimal, as a
   special case appears when the first EOF was not yet
   reached, and the DMA channels were prematurely started.

 - Maintainability
   DMA code was a bit obfuscated. Rationalize the code to be
   easily maintainable by anyone.

 - DMA hot chaining
   DMA is not stopped anymore to queue a buffer, the buffer
   is queued with DMA running. As a tribute, a corner case
   exists where chaining happens while DMA finishes the
   chain, and the capture is restarted to deal with the
   missed link buffer.

This patch attemps to address these issues / improvements.

Trent Piepho a7d878af94 leds: Add openfirmware platform device support
Add bindings to support LEDs defined as of_platform devices in addition to
the existing bindings for platform devices.

New options in Kconfig allow the platform binding code and/or the
of_platform code to be turned on.  The of_platform code is of course only
available on archs that have OF support.

The existing probe and remove methods are refactored to use new functions
create_gpio_led(), to create and register one led, and delete_gpio_led(),
to unregister and free one led.  The new probe and remove methods for the
of_platform driver can then share most of the common probe and remove code
with the platform driver.

The suspend and resume methods aren't shared, but they are very short.  The
actual led driving code is the same for LEDs created by either binding.

The OF bindings are based on patch by Anton Vorontsov
<avorontsov@ru.mvista.com>.  They have been extended to allow multiple LEDs
per device.

Paul Mackerras 31f004df8d perf_counter tools: optionally scale counter values in perfstat mode
Impact: new functionality

This adds add an option to the perfstat mode of kerneltop to scale the
reported counter values according to the fraction of time that each
counter gets to count.  This is invoked with the -l option (I used 'l'
because s, c, a and e were all taken already.)  This uses the new
PERF_RECORD_TOTAL_TIME_{ENABLED,RUNNING} read format options.

With this, we get output like this:

$ ./perfstat -l -e 0:0,0:1,0:2,0:3,0:4,0:5 ./spin

 Performance counter stats for './spin':

     4016072055  CPU cycles           (events)  (scaled from 66.53%)
     2005887318  instructions         (events)  (scaled from 66.53%)

 Wall-clock time elapsed:  2438.227446 msecs

This also lets us detect when a counter is zero because the counter
never got to go on the CPU at all.  In that case we print <not counted>
rather than 0.

Bump the mmap_data pages a little because we bloated the output and

This should fix the most obvious poll fubar.. not enough to fix the

Paul Mackerras cbe46555dc perf_counter tools: remove glib dependency and fix bugs in kerneltop.c
The glib dependency in kerneltop.c is only for a little bit of list
manipulation, and I find it inconvenient.  This adds a 'next' field to
struct source_line, which lets us link them together into a list.  The
code to do the linking ourselves turns out to be no longer or more
difficult than using glib.

This also fixes a few other problems:

- We need to #include <limits.h> to get PATH_MAX on powerpc.

- We need to #include <linux/types.h> rather than have our own
  definitions of __u64 and __s64; on powerpc the installed headers
  define them to be unsigned long and long respectively, and if we
  have our own, different definition here that causes a compile error.

- This takes out the x86 setting of errno from -ret in
  sys_perf_counter_open.  My experiments on x86 indicate that the
  glibc syscall() does this for us already.

- We had two CPU migration counters in the default set, which seems
  unnecessary; I changed one of them to a context switch counter.

- In perfstat mode we were printing CPU cycles and instructions as
  milliseconds, and the cpu clock and task clock counters as events.
  This fixes that.

- In perfstat mode we were still printing a blank line after the first
  counter, which was a holdover from when a task clock counter was
  automatically included as the first counter.  This removes the blank
  line.

- On a test machine here, parse_symbols() and parse_vmlinux() were
  taking long enough (almost 0.5 seconds) for the mmap buffer to
  overflow before we got to the first mmap_read() call, so this moves
  them before we open all the counters.

- The error message if sys_perf_counter_open fails needs to use errno,
  not -fd[i][counter].

this is causig kerneltop failures on my Nehalem box:

 aldebaran:/home/mingo/linux/linux/Documentation/perf_counter>

 KernelTop refresh period: 2 seconds
 ERROR: failed to keep up with mmap data

10,000 cycles is way too short.

What we should do instead on mostly-idle systems is some sort of
read/poll timeout, so that we display something every 2 seconds
for sure.

Henrique de Moraes Holschuh 0e501834f8 thinkpad-acpi: rework brightness support
Refactor and redesign the brightness control backend...

In order to fix bugzilla #11750...

Add a new brightness control mode: support direct NVRAM checkpointing
of the backlight level (i.e. store directly to NVRAM without the need
for UCMS calls), and use that together with the EC-based control.
Disallow UCMS+EC, thus avoiding races with the SMM firmware.

Switch the models that define HBRV (EC Brightness Value) in the DSDT
to the new mode.  These are: T40-T43, R50-R52, R50e, R51e, X31-X41.

Change the default for all other IBM ThinkPads to UCMS-only.  The
Lenovo models already default to UCMS-only.

Henrique de Moraes Holschuh a4d5effcc7 thinkpad-acpi: restrict access to some firmware LEDs
Some of the ThinkPad LEDs indicate critical conditions that can cause
data loss or cause hardware damage when ignored (e.g. force-ejecting
a powered up bay; ignoring a failing battery, or empty battery; force-
undocking with the dock buses still active, etc).

On almost all ThinkPads, LED access is write-only, and the firmware
usually does fire-and-forget signaling on them, so you effectively
lose whatever message the firmware was trying to convey to the user
when you override the LED state, without any chance to restore it.

Restrict access to all LEDs that can convey important alarms, or that
could mislead the user into incorrectly operating the hardware.  This
will make the Lenovo engineers less unhappy about the whole issue.

Allow users that really want it to still control all LEDs, it is the
unaware user that we have to worry about.

Henrique de Moraes Holschuh 2586d5663d thinkpad-acpi: remove HKEY disable functionality
The HKEY disable functionality basically cripples the entire event
model of the ThinkPad firmware and of the thinkpad-acpi driver.
Remove this functionality from the driver.  HKEY must be enabled at
all times while thinkpad-acpi is loaded, and disabled otherwise.

For sysfs, according to the sysfs ABI and the thinkpad-acpi sysfs
rules of engagement, we will just remove the attributes.  This will be
done in two stages: disable their function now, after two kernel
releases, remove the attributes.

For procfs, we call WARN().  If nothing triggers it, I will simply
remove the enable/disable commands entirely in the future along with
the sysfs attributes.

I don't expect much, if any fallout from this.  There really isn't any
reason to mess with hotkey_enable or with the enable/disable commands
to /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey, and this has been true for years...
