e545a6140b kernel/cpu.c: create a CPU_STARTING cpu_chain notifier
Right now, there is no notifier that is called on a new cpu, before the new
cpu begins processing interrupts/softirqs.
Various kernel function would need that notification, e.g. kvm works around
by calling smp_call_function_single(), rcu polls cpu_online_map.

The patch adds a CPU_STARTING notification. It also adds a helper function
that sends the message to all cpu_chain handlers.

Tested on x86-64.
All other archs are untested. Especially on sparc, I'm not sure if I got
it right.

05496769e5 jbd2: clean up how the journal device name is printed
Calculate the journal device name once and stash it away in the
journal_s structure.  This avoids needing to call bdevname()
everywhere and reduces stack usage by not needing to allocate an
on-stack buffer.  In addition, we eliminate the '/' that can appear in
device names (e.g. "cciss/c0d0p9" --- see kernel bugzilla #11321) that
can cause problems when creating proc directory names, and include the
inode number to support ocfs2 which creates multiple journals with
different inode numbers.

823e7e8c6e x86: dma_alloc_coherent sets gfp flags properly
Non real IOMMU implemenations (which doesn't do virtual mappings,
e.g. swiotlb, pci-nommu, etc) need to use proper gfp flags and
dma_mask to allocate pages in their own dma_alloc_coherent()
(allocated page need to be suitable for device's coherent_dma_mask).

This patch makes dma_alloc_coherent do this job so that IOMMUs don't
need to take care of it any more.

Real IOMMU implemenataions can simply ignore the gfp flags.

5394f80f92 x86: check for and defend against BIOS memory corruption
Some BIOSes have been observed to corrupt memory in the low 64k.  This
change:
 - Reserves all memory which does not have to be in that area, to
   prevent it from being used as general memory by the kernel.  Things
   like the SMP trampoline are still in the memory, however.
 - Clears the reserved memory so we can observe changes to it.
 - Adds a function check_for_bios_corruption() which checks and reports on
   memory becoming unexpectedly non-zero.  Currently it's called in the
   x86 fault handler, and the powermanagement debug output.

dfb512ec48 sched: arch_reinit_sched_domains() must destroy domains to force rebuild
What I realized recently is that calling rebuild_sched_domains() in
arch_reinit_sched_domains() by itself is not enough when cpusets are enabled.
partition_sched_domains() code is trying to avoid unnecessary domain rebuilds
and will not actually rebuild anything if new domain masks match the old ones.

What this means is that doing
     echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/sched_mc_power_savings
on a system with cpusets enabled will not take affect untill something changes
in the cpuset setup (ie new sets created or deleted).

This patch fixes restore correct behaviour where domains must be rebuilt in
order to enable MC powersaving flags.

Test on quad-core Core2 box with both CONFIG_CPUSETS and !CONFIG_CPUSETS.
Also tested on dual-core Core2 laptop. Lockdep is happy and things are working
as expected.

6976675d94 hrtimer: create a "timer_slack" field in the task struct
We want to be able to control the default "rounding" that is used by
select() and poll() and friends. This is a per process property
(so that we can have a "nice" like program to start certain programs with
a looser or stricter rounding) that can be set/get via a prctl().

For this purpose, a field called "timer_slack_ns" is added to the task
struct. In addition, a field called "default_timer_slack"ns" is added
so that tasks easily can temporarily to a more/less accurate slack and then
back to the default.

The default value of the slack is set to 50 usec; this is significantly less
than 2.6.27's average select() and poll() timing error but still allows
the kernel to group timers somewhat to preserve power behavior. Applications
and admins can override this via the prctl()

654c8e0b1c hrtimer: turn hrtimers into range timers
this patch turns hrtimers into range timers; they have 2 expire points
1) the soft expire point
2) the hard expire point

the kernel will do it's regular best effort attempt to get the timer run
at the hard expire point. However, if some other time fires after the soft
expire point, the kernel now has the freedom to fire this timer at this point,
and thus grouping the events and preventing a power-expensive wakeup in the
future.

63ca243b27 hrtimer: add abstraction functions for accessing the "expires" member
In order to be able to turn hrtimers into range based, we need to provide
accessor functions for getting to the "expires" ktime_t member of the
struct hrtimer.

This patch adds a set of accessors for this purpose:
* hrtimer_set_expires
* hrtimer_set_expires_tv64
* hrtimer_add_expires
* hrtimer_add_expires_ns
* hrtimer_get_expires
* hrtimer_get_expires_tv64
* hrtimer_get_expires_ns
* hrtimer_expires_remaining
* hrtimer_start_expires

No users of these new accessors are added yet; these follow in later patches.

not have a bottleneck in -next

8ff3e8e85f select: switch select() and poll() over to hrtimers
With lots of help, input and cleanups from Thomas Gleixner

This patch switches select() and poll() over to hrtimers.

The core of the patch is replacing the "s64 timeout" with a
"struct timespec end_time" in all the plumbing.

But most of the diffstat comes from using the just introduced helpers:
	poll_select_set_timeout
	poll_select_copy_remaining
	timespec_add_safe
which make manipulating the timespec easier and less error-prone.

b773ad40ac select: add poll_select_set_timeout() and poll_select_copy_remaining() helpers
This patch adds 2 helpers that will be used for the hrtimer based select/poll:

poll_select_set_timeout() is a helper that takes a timeout (as a second, nanosecond
pair) and turns that into a "struct timespec" that represents the absolute end time.
This is a common operation in the many select() and poll() variants and needs various,
common, sanity checks.

poll_select_copy_remaining() is a helper that takes care of copying the remaining
time to userspace, as select(), pselect() and ppoll() do. This function comes in
both a natural and a compat implementation (due to datastructure differences).

e0cee3eea7 [MIPS] Fix WARNING: at kernel/smp.c:290
trap_init issues flush_icache_range(), which uses ipi functions to
get icache flushing done on all cpus. But this is done before interrupts
are enabled and caused WARN_ON messages. This changeset introduces
a new local_flush_icache_range() and uses it before interrupts (and
additional CPUs) are enabled to avoid this problem.

f59ac04816 cfg80211: keep track of supported interface modes
It is obviously good for userspace to know up front which
interface modes a given piece of hardware might support (even
if adding such an interface might fail later because of
concurrency issues), so let's make cfg80211 aware of that.
For good measure, disallow adding interfaces in all other
modes so drivers don't forget to announce support for one mode
when they add it.

e51af66308 x86: blacklist DMAR on Intel G31/G33 chipsets
Some BIOSes (the Intel DG33BU, for example) wrongly claim to have DMAR
when they don't. Avoid the resulting crashes when it doesn't work as
expected.

I'd still be grateful if someone could test it on a DG33BU with the old
BIOS though, since I've killed mine. I tested the DMI version, but not
this one.

49048622ea sched: fix process time monotonicity
Spencer reported a problem where utime and stime were going negative despite
the fixes in commit b27f03d4bd. The suspected
reason for the problem is that signal_struct maintains it's own utime and
stime (of exited tasks), these are not updated using the new task_utime()
routine, hence sig->utime can go backwards and cause the same problem
to occur (sig->utime, adds tsk->utime and not task_utime()). This patch
fixes the problem

TODO: using max(task->prev_utime, derived utime) works for now, but a more
generic solution is to implement cputime_max() and use the cputime_gt()
function for comparison.
