33f0f88f1c [PATCH] TTY layer buffering revamp
The API and code have been through various bits of initial review by
serial driver people but they definitely need to live somewhere for a
while so the unconverted drivers can get knocked into shape, existing
drivers that have been updated can be better tuned and bugs whacked out.

This replaces the tty flip buffers with kmalloc objects in rings. In the
normal situation for an IRQ driven serial port at typical speeds the
behaviour is pretty much the same, two buffers end up allocated and the
kernel cycles between them as before.

When there are delays or at high speed we now behave far better as the
buffer pool can grow a bit rather than lose characters. This also means
that we can operate at higher speeds reliably.

For drivers that receive characters in blocks (DMA based, USB and
especially virtualisation) the layer allows a lot of driver specific
code that works around the tty layer with private secondary queues to be
removed. The IBM folks need this sort of layer, the smart serial port
people do, the virtualisers do (because a virtualised tty typically
operates at infinite speed rather than emulating 9600 baud).

Finally many drivers had invalid and unsafe attempts to avoid buffer
overflows by directly invoking tty methods extracted out of the innards
of work queue structs. These are no longer needed and all go away. That
fixes various random hangs with serial ports on overflow.

The other change in here is to optimise the receive_room path that is
used by some callers. It turns out that only one ldisc uses receive room
except asa constant and it updates it far far less than the value is
read. We thus make it a variable not a function call.

I expect the code to contain bugs due to the size alone but I'll be
watching and squashing them and feeding out new patches as it goes.

Because the buffers now dynamically expand you should only run out of
buffering when the kernel runs out of memory for real.  That means a lot of
the horrible hacks high performance drivers used to do just aren't needed any
more.

Description:

tty_insert_flip_char is an old API and continues to work as before, as does
tty_flip_buffer_push() [this is why many drivers dont need modification].  It
does now also return the number of chars inserted

There are also

tty_buffer_request_room(tty, len)

which asks for a buffer block of the length requested and returns the space
found.  This improves efficiency with hardware that knows how much to
transfer.

and tty_insert_flip_string_flags(tty, str, flags, len)

to insert a string of characters and flags

For a smart interface the usual code is

    len = tty_request_buffer_room(tty, amount_hardware_says);
    tty_insert_flip_string(tty, buffer_from_card, len);

More description!

At the moment tty buffers are attached directly to the tty.  This is causing a
lot of the problems related to tty layer locking, also problems at high speed
and also with bursty data (such as occurs in virtualised environments)

I'm working on ripping out the flip buffers and replacing them with a pool of
dynamically allocated buffers.  This allows both for old style "byte I/O"
devices and also helps virtualisation and smart devices where large blocks of
data suddenely materialise and need storing.

So far so good.  Lots of drivers reference tty->flip.*.  Several of them also
call directly and unsafely into function pointers it provides.  This will all
break.  Most drivers can use tty_insert_flip_char which can be kept as an API
but others need more.

At the moment I've added the following interfaces, if people think more will
be needed now is a good time to say

 int tty_buffer_request_room(tty, size)

Try and ensure at least size bytes are available, returns actual room (may be
zero).  At the moment it just uses the flipbuf space but that will change.
Repeated calls without characters being added are not cumulative.  (ie if you
call it with 1, 1, 1, and then 4 you'll have four characters of space.  The
other functions will also try and grow buffers in future but this will be a
more efficient way when you know block sizes.

 int tty_insert_flip_char(tty, ch, flag)

As before insert a character if there is room.  Now returns 1 for success, 0
for failure.

 int tty_insert_flip_string(tty, str, len)

Insert a block of non error characters.  Returns the number inserted.

 int tty_prepare_flip_string(tty, strptr, len)

Adjust the buffer to allow len characters to be added.  Returns a buffer
pointer in strptr and the length available.  This allows for hardware that
needs to use functions like insl or mencpy_fromio.

2b4f2f4b01 [PATCH] vesafb: Drop blank hook
From: Bugzilla Bug 5351

"After resuming from S3 (suspended while in X), the LCD panel stays black .
 However, the laptop is up again, and I can SSH into it from another
machine.

I can get the panel working again, when I first direct video output to the
CRT output of the laptop, and then back to LCD (done by repeatedly hitting
Fn+F5 buttons on the Toshiba, which directs output to either LCD, CRT or
TV) None of this ever happened with older kernels."

This bug is due to the recently added vesafb_blank() method in vesafb.  It
works with CRT displays, but has a high incidence of problems in laptop
users.  Since CRT users don't really get that much benefit from hardware
blanking, drop support for this.

now using RCU to walk through the list, there is no need for the

e6a6d2efcb [PATCH] sanitize building of fs/compat_ioctl.c
Now that all these entries in the arch ioctl32.c files are gone [1], we can
build fs/compat_ioctl.c as a normal object and kill tons of cruft.  We need a
special do_ioctl32_pointer handler for s390 so the compat_ptr call is done.
This is not needed but harmless on all other architectures.  Also remove some
superflous includes in fs/compat_ioctl.c

Tested on ppc64.

[1] parisc still had it's PPP handler left, which is not fully correct
    for ppp and besides that ppp uses the generic SIOCPRIV ioctl so it'd
    kick in for all netdevice users.  We can introduce a proper handler
    in one of the next patch series by adding a compat_ioctl method to
    struct net_device but for now let's just kill it - parisc doesn't
    compile in mainline anyway and I don't want this to block this
    patchset.

05970d476f [PATCH] kexec: change CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START dependency
I have heard some complaints about people not finding CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP
option and also some objections about its dependency on CONFIG_EMBEDDED.
The following patch ends that dependency.  I thought of hiding it under
CONFIG_KEXEC, but CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START could also be used for some reasons
other than kexec/kdump and hence left it visible.  I will also update the
documentation accordingly.

o Following patch removes the config dependency of CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START
  on CONFIG_EMBEDDED. The reason being CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP option for
  kdump needs CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START which makes CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP depend
  on CONFIG_EMBEDDED. It is not always obvious for kdump users to choose
  CONFIG_EMBEDDED.

o It also shifts the palce where this option appears, to make it closer
  to kexec and kdump options.

ec9ce0dbaa [PATCH] kdump: x86_64 save cpu registers upon crash
- Saving the cpu registers of all cpus before booting in to the crash
  kernel.

- crash_setup_regs will save the registers of the cpu on which panic has
  occured.  One of the concerns ppc64 folks raised is that after capturing the
  register states, one should not pop the current call frame and push new one.
   Hence it has been inlined.  More call frames later get pushed on to stack
  (machine_crash_shutdown() and machine_kexec()), but one will not want to
  backtrace those.

- Not very sure about the CFI annotations.  With this patch I am getting
  decent backtrace with gdb.  Assuming, compiler has generated enough
  debugging information for crash_kexec().  Coding crash_setup_regs() in pure
  assembly makes it tricky because then it can not be inlined and we don't
  want to return back after capturing register states we don't want to pop
  this call frame.

- Saving the non-panicing cpus registers will be done in the NMI handler
  while shooting down them in machine_crash_shutdown.

- Introducing CRASH_DUMP option in Kconfig for x86_64.

e996e58133 [PATCH] kdump: save registers early (inline functions)
- If system panics then cpu register states are captured through funciton
  crash_get_current_regs().  This is not a inline function hence a stack frame
  is pushed on to the stack and then cpu register state is captured.  Later
  this frame is popped and new frames are pushed (machine_kexec).

- In theory this is not very right as we are capturing register states for a
  frame and that frame is no more valid.  This seems to have created back
  trace problems for ppc64.

- This patch fixes it up.  The very first thing it does after entering
  crash_kexec() is to capture the register states.  Anyway we don't want the
  back trace beyond crash_kexec().  crash_get_current_regs() has been made
  inline

- crash_setup_regs() is the top architecture dependent function which should
  be responsible for capturing the register states as well as to do some
  architecture dependent tricks.  For ex.  fixing up ss and esp for i386.
  crash_setup_regs() has also been made inline to ensure no new call frame is
  pushed onto stack.

cc57165874 [PATCH] kdump: dynamic per cpu allocation of memory for saving cpu registers
- In case of system crash, current state of cpu registers is saved in memory
  in elf note format.  So far memory for storing elf notes was being allocated
  statically for NR_CPUS.

- This patch introduces dynamic allocation of memory for storing elf notes.
  It uses alloc_percpu() interface.  This should lead to better memory usage.

- Introduced based on Andi Kleen's and Eric W. Biederman's suggestions.

- This patch also moves memory allocation for elf notes from architecture
  dependent portion to architecture independent portion.  Now crash_notes is
  architecture independent.  The whole idea is that size of memory to be
  allocated per cpu (MAX_NOTE_BYTES) can be architecture dependent and
  allocation of this memory can be architecture independent.

df2e71fb91 [PATCH] dump_thread() cleanup
)

From: Adrian Bunk <bunk@stusta.de>

- create one common dump_thread() prototype in kernel.h

- dump_thread() is only used in fs/binfmt_aout.c and can therefore be
  removed on all architectures where CONFIG_BINFMT_AOUT is not
  available

9c107805ab [PATCH] printk levels for i386 oops code.
Especially useful when users have booted with 'quiet'.  In the regular 'oops'
path, we set the console_loglevel before we start spewing debug info, but we
can call the backtrace code from other places now too, such as the spinlock
debugging code.

2308acca65 [PATCH] "tiny-make-id16-support-optional" fixes
It seems the "make UID16 support optional" patch was checked when it
edited the -tiny tree some time ago, but it wasn't checked whether it
still matches the current situation when it was submitted for inclusion
in -mm. This patch fixes the following bugs:
- ARCH_S390X does no longer exist, nowadays this has to be expressed
  through (S390 && 64BIT)
- in five architecture specific Kconfig files the UID16 options
  weren't removed

Additionally, it changes the fragile negative dependencies of UID16 to
positive dependencies (new architectures are more likely to not require
UID16 support).

13b8a27229 powerpc: Introduce a new config symbol to control 16550 early debug code
The previous change by Kumar Gala in this area led to legacy_serial.c
and udbg_16550.c being built as modules when CONFIG_SERIAL_8250=m.
Fix this by introducing a new symbol, CONFIG_PPC_UDBG_16550, to
control whether these files get built, and arrange for it to be selected
for those platforms that need it.

242-eeh-no-percpu-counters.patch

Remove per-cpu counters from the EEH code.  These statistics counters
are incremented at a very low frequency, and the performance gains of
per-cpu variables are negligable.  By contrast, the counters weren't
safe against cpu off/online operations, and its not worth the effort
to make them so (other than to turn them into plain globals).

3914ac7b0e [PATCH] powerpc: handle multifunction PCI devices properly
239-eeh-multifunction-consolidate.patch

New-style firmware will often place multiple different functions
under a non-EEH-aware parent.  However, these devices might share
a common PE "partition endpoint" and config address, ad thus any
EEH events will affect all of the devices in common.  This patch
makes the effort to find all of these common devices and handle
them together.
