Jan Kara 580be0837a fs: make sure data stored into inode is properly seen before unlocking new inode
In theory it could happen that on one CPU we initialize a new inode but
clearing of I_NEW | I_LOCK gets reordered before some of the
initialization.  Thus on another CPU we return not fully uptodate inode
from iget_locked().

This seems to fix a corruption issue on ext3 mounted over NFS.

Paul Mackerras a8f90e9067 perf_event, powerpc: Fix compilation after big perf_counter rename
This fixes two places in the powerpc perf_event (perf_counter) code
where 'list_entry' needs to be changed to 'group_entry', but were
missed in commit 65abc865 ("perf_counter: Rename list_entry ->
group_entry, counter_list -> group_list").

This also changes 'event' back to 'counter' in a couple of
contexts:

* Field and function names that deal with the limited-function
  counters: it's really the hardware counters whose function is
  limited, not the events that they count.  Hence:

  MAX_LIMITED_HWEVENTS -> MAX_LIMITED_HWCOUNTERS
  limited_event -> limited_counter
  freeze/thaw_limited_events -> freeze/thaw_limited_counters

* The machine-specific PMU description struct (struct power_pmu): this
  renames 'n_event' back to 'n_counter' since it really describes how
  many hardware counters the machine has.  (Renaming this back avoids
  a compile error in each of the machine-specific PMU back-ends where
  they initialize their power_pmu struct.)

Frans Pop be3990b7ef trivial: doc: hpfall: accept disk device to unload as argument
Allows users who use an IDE driver for their disk to use hpfall without
having to modify the source. By default /dev/sda is used.
Suggested by Christian Thaeter in http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/3/25/505.

While we're add it, improve error message if opening /dev/freefall fails.

Christian Thaeter 2bace8b951 trivial: doc: hpfall: reduce risk that hpfall can do harm
Improve the example code to be at least useable, as in not causing
harm (as shown below). Code can still be improved further, but this
adds some basic safeguards.

1. hpfall *MUST* mlockall(MCL_CURRENT|MCL_FUTURE); itself!
Since the Program sits and waits most of the time it becomes very likely
swapped out. If it gets woken up when the laptop drops from the table
while it is swapped out it actually triggers harddrive activity!

2. Daemonize hpfall using 'daemon(0,0)' (quick and dirty).

3. Give hpfall realtime priority.
Should give a chance that it has less latency when woken up.

Michael Tokarev 7da8b6ddc7 trivial: fix missing printk space in amd_k7_smp_check
This trivial patch fixes one missing space in printk.

I already fixed it about half a year ago or more, but the change (in
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/smpboot.c at that time) didn't made into
mainline yet.
