4ab0d47d0a gpu/drm, x86, PAT: io_mapping_create_wc and resource_size_t
io_mapping_create_wc should take a resource_size_t parameter in place of
unsigned long. With unsigned long, there will be no way to map greater than 4GB
address in i386/32 bit.

On x86, greater than 4GB addresses cannot be mapped on i386 without PAE. Return
error for such a case.

Patch also adds a structure for io_mapping, that saves the base, size and
type on HAVE_ATOMIC_IOMAP archs, that can be used to verify the offset on
io_mapping_map calls.

40823f737e x86: memtest: reuse test patterns when memtest parameter exceeds number of available patterns
Impact: fix unexpected behaviour when pattern number is out of range

Current implementation provides 4 patterns for memtest. The code doesn't
check whether the memtest parameter value exceeds the maximum pattern number.

Instead the memtest code pretends to test with non-existing patterns, e.g.
when booting with memtest=10 I've observed the following

  ...
  early_memtest: pattern num 10
  0000001000 - 0000006000 pattern 0
  ...
  0000001000 - 0000006000 pattern 1
  ...
  0000001000 - 0000006000 pattern 2
  ...
  0000001000 - 0000006000 pattern 3
  ...
  0000001000 - 0000006000 pattern 4
  ...
  0000001000 - 0000006000 pattern 5
  ...
  0000001000 - 0000006000 pattern 6
  ...
  0000001000 - 0000006000 pattern 7
  ...
  0000001000 - 0000006000 pattern 8
  ...
  0000001000 - 0000006000 pattern 9
  ...

But in fact Linux didn't test anything for patterns > 4 as the default
case in memtest() is to leave the function.

I suggest to use the memtest parameter as the number of tests to be
performed and to re-iterate over all existing patterns.

95108fa34a x86: usercopy: check for total size when deciding non-temporal cutoff
Impact: make more types of copies non-temporal

This change makes the following simple fix:

  30d697f: x86: fix performance regression in write() syscall

A bit more sophisticated: we check the 'total' number of bytes
written to decide whether to copy in a cached or a non-temporal
way.

This will for example cause the tail (modulo 4096 bytes) chunk
of a large write() to be non-temporal too - not just the page-sized
chunks.

Impact: cleanup, enable future change

Add a 'total bytes copied' parameter to __copy_from_user_*nocache(),
and update all the callsites.

The parameter is not used yet - architecture code can use it to
more intelligently decide whether the copy should be cached or
non-temporal.

Notice the strange blank PGTABLE entry.

The reason is init_pg_table is big enough, and zero range is called
with init_memory_mapping/reserve_early().

So try to check the range in reserve_early()

cd97f39b7c i2c-dev: Clarify the unit of ioctl I2C_TIMEOUT
The unit in which user-space can set the bus timeout value is jiffies
for historical reasons (back when HZ was always 100.) This is however
not good because user-space doesn't know how long a jiffy lasts. The
timeout value should instead be set in a fixed time unit. Given the
original value of HZ, this unit should be 10 ms, for compatibility.

e73bf9f135 firedtv: dvb_frontend_info for FireDTV S2, fix "frequency limits undefined" error
I found that the function fdtv_frontend_init in the file firedtv-fe.c was
missing a case for FIREDTV_DVB_S2 which resulted in "frequency limits
undefined" errors in syslog.

Change by Stefan R: combine it with case case FIREDTV_DVB_S as
originally suggested by Beat Michel.  This enables FE_CAN_FEC_AUTO also
for FireDTV-S2 devices which is possible as long as only DVB-S channels
are used.  FE_CAN_FEC_AUTO would be wrong for DVB-S2 channels, but those
cannot be used yet since the driver is not yet converted to S2API.

30d697fa3a x86: fix performance regression in write() syscall
While the introduction of __copy_from_user_nocache (see commit:
0812a579c9) may have been an improvement
for sufficiently large writes, there is evidence to show that it is
deterimental for small writes.  Unixbench's fstime test gives the
following results for 256 byte writes with MAX_BLOCK of 2000:

    2.6.29-rc6 ( 5 samples, each in KB/sec ):
    283750, 295200, 294500, 293000, 293300

    2.6.29-rc6 + this patch (5 samples, each in KB/sec):
    313050, 3106750, 293350, 306300, 307900

    2.6.18
    395700, 342000, 399100, 366050, 359850

    See w_test() in src/fstime.c in unixbench version 4.1.0.  Basically, the above test
    consists of counting how much we can write in this manner:

    alarm(10);
    while (!sigalarm) {
            for (f_blocks = 0; f_blocks < 2000; ++f_blocks) {
                   write(f, buf, 256);
            }
            lseek(f, 0L, 0);
    }

Note, there are other components to the write syscall regression
that are not addressed here.

firedtv: reinstate debug logging option

    Henrik Kurelid tells me that FCP debug logging (which I removed during
    cleanups) is still useful when working on driver issues together with
    end users.  So bring it back in an updated form with only 60% of the
    original code footprint.

    Logging can be enabled with
    # echo -1 > /sys/module/firedtv/parameters/debug

    1 instead of -1 enables only FCP header logging,
    2 instead of -1 enables only hexdumps of the entire FCP frames.
    0 switches logging off again.

firedtv: dvb demux: more compact channels backing store

    Replace struct firedtv_channel { bool active; int pid; } channel[16];

Sun Feb 15 15:33:17 CET 2009
firedtv: dvb demux: some simplifications

    c->active was unnecessarily cleared twice.

    Also, by marking the channel inactive before the for loop,
    the loop becomes identical with fdtv_channel_collect().

Sun Feb 15 15:33:17 CET 2009
firedtv: dvb demux: remove a bogus loop

    This loop is unnecessary because
      - only active channel[].pid's will be sent to the device,
      - when a channel is activated, its pid is set to dvbdmxfeed->pid.

    Perhaps the original code was there because it was initially not fully
    covered by the fdtv->demux_mutex.

Sun Feb 15 15:33:17 CET 2009
firedtv: dvb demux: fix mutex protection

    fdtv_start_feed() accessed the channel list unsafely.

firedtv: dvb demux: fix missing braces

    Original code was:

            case DMX_TS_PES_OTHER:
                    //Dirty fix to keep firesat->channel pid-list up to date
                    for(k=0;k<16;k++){
                            if(firesat->channel[k].active == 0)
                                    firesat->channel[k].pid =
                                            dvbdmxfeed->pid;
                                    break;
                    }
                    channel = firesat_channel_allocate(firesat);
                    break;
            default:
            ...

    Looks bogus in several respects. For now let's just add braces to the if
    because that seems to be what the author meant.

    It is safe to share a memory buffer for command frame and response frame
    because the response data come in after the command frame was last used.

    Even less stack would be required if only the actual required frame size
    instead of the entire FCP register size was allocated.

    Also, rename the defined types AVCCmdFrm and AVCRspFrm to
    struct avc_command_frame and struct avc_response_frame.
