This is a fix for the following crash observed in 2.6.29-rc3:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/1/29/150

On ARM it doesn't make sense to trace a naked function because then
mcount is called without stack and frame pointer being set up and there
is no chance to restore the lr register to the value before mcount was
called.

6074d5b0a3 percpu: more flexibility for @dyn_size of pcpu_setup_first_chunk()
Impact: cleanup, more flexibility for first chunk init

Non-negative @dyn_size used to be allowed iff @unit_size wasn't auto.
This restriction stemmed from implementation detail and made things a
bit less intuitive.  This patch allows @dyn_size to be specified
regardless of @unit_size and swaps the positions of @dyn_size and
@unit_size so that the parameter order makes more sense (static,
reserved and dyn sizes followed by enclosing unit_size).

While at it, add @unit_size >= PCPU_MIN_UNIT_SIZE sanity check.

129f8ae9b1 Revert "[CPUFREQ] Disable sysfs ui for p4-clockmod."
This reverts commit e088e4c9cd.

Removing the sysfs interface for p4-clockmod was flagged as a
regression in bug 12826.

Course of action:
 - Find out the remaining causes of overheating, and fix them
   if possible. ACPI should be doing the right thing automatically.
   If it isn't, we need to fix that.
 - mark p4-clockmod ui as deprecated
 - try again with the removal in six months.

It's not really feasible to printk about the deprecation, because
it needs to happen at all the sysfs entry points, which means adding
a lot of strcmp("p4-clockmod".. calls to the core, which.. bleuch.

6b19b0c240 x86, percpu: setup reserved percpu area for x86_64
Impact: fix relocation overflow during module load

x86_64 uses 32bit relocations for symbol access and static percpu
symbols whether in core or modules must be inside 2GB of the percpu
segement base which the dynamic percpu allocator doesn't guarantee.
This patch makes x86_64 reserve PERCPU_MODULE_RESERVE bytes in the
first chunk so that module percpu areas are always allocated from the
first chunk which is always inside the relocatable range.

This problem exists for any percpu allocator but is easily triggered
when using the embedding allocator because the second chunk is located
beyond 2GB on it.

This patch also changes the meaning of PERCPU_DYNAMIC_RESERVE such
that it only indicates the size of the area to reserve for dynamic
allocation as static and dynamic areas can be separate.  New
PERCPU_DYNAMIC_RESERVED is increased by 4k for both 32 and 64bits as
the reserved area separation eats away some allocatable space and
having slightly more headroom (currently between 4 and 8k after
minimal boot sans module area) makes sense for common case
performance.

x86_32 can address anywhere from anywhere and doesn't need reserving.

Mike Galbraith first reported the problem first and bisected it to the
embedding percpu allocator commit.

edcb463997 percpu, module: implement reserved allocation and use it for module percpu variables
Impact: add reserved allocation functionality and use it for module
	percpu variables

This patch implements reserved allocation from the first chunk.  When
setting up the first chunk, arch can ask to set aside certain number
of bytes right after the core static area which is available only
through a separate reserved allocator.  This will be used primarily
for module static percpu variables on architectures with limited
relocation range to ensure that the module perpcu symbols are inside
the relocatable range.

If reserved area is requested, the first chunk becomes reserved and
isn't available for regular allocation.  If the first chunk also
includes piggy-back dynamic allocation area, a separate chunk mapping
the same region is created to serve dynamic allocation.  The first one
is called static first chunk and the second dynamic first chunk.
Although they share the page map, their different area map
initializations guarantee they serve disjoint areas according to their
purposes.

If arch doesn't setup reserved area, reserved allocation is handled
like any other allocation.

cafe8816b2 percpu: use negative for auto for pcpu_setup_first_chunk() arguments
Impact: argument semantic cleanup

In pcpu_setup_first_chunk(), zero @unit_size and @dyn_size meant
auto-sizing.  It's okay for @unit_size as 0 doesn't make sense but 0
dynamic reserve size is valid.  Alos, if arch @dyn_size is calculated
from other parameters, it might end up passing in 0 @dyn_size and
malfunction when the size is automatically adjusted.

This patch makes both @unit_size and @dyn_size ssize_t and use -1 for
auto sizing.

Again, make sure DMA activity has already finished.

PLEASE NOTE:  The 'nents' argument to the pci_unmap_sg call must be
              the _same_ one you passed into the pci_map_sg call,

e7d3ef13d5 libata: change drive ready wait after hard reset to 5s
This fixes problems during resume with drives that take longer than 1s to
be ready.  The ATA-6 spec appears to allow 5 seconds for a drive to be
ready.

On one affected system, this patch changes "PM: resume devices took..."
message from 17 seconds to 4 seconds, and gets rid of a lot of ugly
timeout/error messages.

Without this patch, the libata code moves on after 1s, tries to send a
soft reset (which the drive doesn't see because it isn't ready) which also
times out, then an IDENTIFY command is sent to the drive which times out,
and finally the error handler will try to send another hard reset which
will finally get things working.

9d40bbda59 vlan: Fix vlan-in-vlan crashes.
As analyzed by Patrick McHardy, vlan needs to reset it's
netdev_ops pointer in it's ->init() function but this
leaves the compat method pointers stale.

Add a netdev_resync_ops() and call it from the vlan code.

Any other driver which changes ->netdev_ops after register_netdevice()
will need to call this new function after doing so too.

With help from Patrick McHardy.

0c5c2d3089 neigh: Allow for user space users of the neighbour table
Currently it is possible to do just about everything with the arp table
from user space except treat an entry like you are using it.  To that end
implement and a flag NTF_USE that when set in a netwlink update request
treats the neighbour table entry like the kernel does on the output path.

This allows user space applications to share the kernel's arp cache.

a1d2f09544 crypto: compress - Add pcomp interface
The current "comp" crypto interface supports one-shot (de)compression only,
i.e. the whole data buffer to be (de)compressed must be passed at once, and
the whole (de)compressed data buffer will be received at once.
In several use-cases (e.g. compressed file systems that store files in big
compressed blocks), this workflow is not suitable.
Furthermore, the "comp" type doesn't provide for the configuration of
(de)compression parameters, and always allocates workspace memory for both
compression and decompression, which may waste memory.

To solve this, add a "pcomp" partial (de)compression interface that provides
the following operations:
  - crypto_compress_{init,update,final}() for compression,
  - crypto_decompress_{init,update,final}() for decompression,
  - crypto_{,de}compress_setup(), to configure (de)compression parameters
    (incl. allocating workspace memory).

The (de)compression methods take a struct comp_request, which was mimicked
after the z_stream object in zlib, and contains buffer pointer and length
pairs for input and output.

The setup methods take an opaque parameter pointer and length pair. Parameters
are supposed to be encoded using netlink attributes, whose meanings depend on
the actual (name of the) (de)compression algorithm.
