531c633d2b ACPICA: Split out PM1 status registers from the FADT
Add new globals for the PM1 status registers (A/B), similar to the
way the PM1 enable registers are handled. Instead of overloading
the FADT Event Register blocks. This makes the code clearer and
less prone to error.

4b2873ba0b m68k: irq_node.handler() should return irqreturn_t
commit b5dc7840b3 ("m68k: introduce irq
controller") reverted the return type of struct irq_node.handler() from
irqreturn_t to int. Change it back to irqreturn_t, else it will give a
compiler warning when irqreturn_t is turned into an enum in the near future:

1b5e62b42b writeback: double the dirty thresholds
Enlarge default dirty ratios from 5/10 to 10/20.  This fixes [Bug
#12809] iozone regression with 2.6.29-rc6.

The iozone benchmarks are performed on a 1200M file, with 8GB ram.

  iozone -i 0 -i 1 -i 2 -i 3 -i 4 -r 4k -s 64k -s 512m -s 1200m -b tmp.xls
  iozone -B -r 4k -s 64k -s 512m -s 1200m -b tmp.xls

The performance regression is triggered by commit 1cf6e7d83bf3(mm: task
dirty accounting fix), which makes more correct/thorough dirty
accounting.

The default 5/10 dirty ratios were picked (a) with the old dirty logic
and (b) largely at random and (c) designed to be aggressive.  In
particular, that (a) means that having fixed some of the dirty
accounting, maybe the real bug is now that it was always too aggressive,
just hidden by an accounting issue.

The enlarged 10/20 dirty ratios are just about enough to fix the regression.

[ We will have to look at how this affects the old fsync() latency issue,
  but that probably will need independent work.  - Linus ]

53129c5c55 ia64/pv_ops: move down __kernel_syscall_via_epc.
Move down __kernel_syscall_via_epc to the end of the page.
We want to paravirtualize only __kernel_syscall_via_epc because
it includes privileged instructions. Its paravirtualization increases
its symbols size.

On the other hand, each paravirtualized gate must have e symbols of
same value and size to native's because the page is mapped to GATE_ADDR
and GATE_ADDR + PERCPU_PAGE_SIZE and vmlinux is linked to those symbols.
Later to have the same symbol size, we pads NOPs at the end of
__kernel_syscall_via_epc. Move it after other functions to keep
symbols of other functions have same values and sizes.

d0adde574b Add a strictatime mount option
Add support for explicitly requesting full atime updates. This makes it
possible for kernels to default to relatime but still allow userspace to
override it.

add sched_clock() hook to paravirtualize sched_clock().
ia64 sched_clock() is based on ar.itc which isn't stable
on virtualized environment because vcpu may move around on
pcpus. So it needs paravirtualization.
