In case CONFIG_FB_PXA_OVERLAY is not defined, the pxafb_freq_transition()
function tests nonexistent member of pxafb_info (since the member is not
part of the structure).
Fix this by wraping the test in ifdef, even if I don't really like how the code
looks now. The check doesn't have to happen if overlays are disabled at all as
the check is always true then.

This is more or less the same patch as before, but with some merge
conflicts fixed up.
If a process has a dirty page mapped into its page tables, then it has
the ability to change it while the client is trying to write the data
out to the server. If that happens after the signature has been
calculated then that signature will then be wrong, and the server will
likely reset the TCP connection.
This patch adds a page_mkwrite handler for CIFS that simply takes the
page lock. Because the page lock is held over the life of writepage and
writepages, this prevents the page from becoming writeable until
the write call has completed.
With this, we can also remove the "sign_zero_copy" module option and
always inline the pages when writing.

There are worries that we are now consuming a lot more stack in
some cases, since we potentially call into IO dispatch from
schedule() or io_schedule(). We can reduce this problem by moving
the running of the queue to kblockd, like the old plugging scheme
did as well.
This may or may not be a good idea from a performance perspective,
depending on how many tasks have queue plugs running at the same
time. For even the slightly contended case, doing just a single
queue run from kblockd instead of multiple runs directly from the
unpluggers will be faster.

In order for MFD drivers to fetch their cell pointer but also their
platform data one, an mfd cell pointer is added to the platform_device
structure.
That allows all MFD sub devices drivers to be MFD agnostic, unless
they really need to access their MFD cell data. Most of them don't,
especially the ones for IPs used by both MFD and non MFD SoCs.

Moorestown systems crash on boot because the secondary CPU
clockevent (apbt1) will fail to request irq#1, which does not
have ioapic chip in its irq_desc[] entry.
Background:
Moorestown platform does not have ISA bus nor legacy IRQs. It
reuses the range of legacy IRQs for regular device interrupts.
The routing information of early system device IRQs (timers) are
obtained from firmware provided SFI tables. We reuse/fake MP
configuration table to facilitate IRQ setup with IOAPIC.
Maintaining a 1:1 mapping of IOAPIC pin (RTE entry) and IRQ#
makes routing information clean and easy to understand on
Moorestown. Though optional.
This patch allows SFI timer and vRTC IRQ to be treated as ISA
IRQ so that pin2irq mapping will be 1:1.
Also fixed MP table type and use macros to clearly set MP IRQ
entries. As a result, apbt timer and RTC interrupts on
Moorestown are within legacy IRQ range:
# cat /proc/interrupts
CPU0 CPU1
0: 11249 0 IO-APIC-edge apbt0
1: 0 12271 IO-APIC-edge apbt1
8: 887 0 IO-APIC-fasteoi dw_spi
13: 0 0 IO-APIC-fasteoi INTEL_MID_DMAC2
14: 0 0 IO-APIC-fasteoi rtc0

ntlm, but more servers support ntlmv2 and ntlmv2
does not require an upcall, so ntlmv2 is a better

When the TCP_Server_Info is first allocated and connected, tcpStatus ==
CifsGood means that the NEGOTIATE_PROTOCOL request has completed and the
socket is ready for other calls. cifs_reconnect however sets tcpStatus
to CifsGood as soon as the socket is reconnected and the optional
RFC1001 session setup is done. We have no clear way to tell the
difference between these two states, and we need to know this in order
to know whether we can send an echo or not.
Resolve this by adding a new statusEnum value -- CifsNeedNegotiate. When
the socket has been connected but has not yet had a NEGOTIATE_PROTOCOL
request done, set it to this value. Once the NEGOTIATE is done,
cifs_negotiate_protocol will set tcpStatus to CifsGood.
This also fixes and cleans the logic in cifs_reconnect and
cifs_reconnect_tcon. The old code checked for specific states when what
it really wants to know is whether the state has actually changed from
CifsNeedReconnect.

While testing my patchset to fix asynchronous writes, I hit a bunch
of signature problems when testing with signing on. The problem seems
to be that signature checks on receive can be running at the same
time as a process that is sending, or even that multiple receives can
be checking signatures at the same time, clobbering the same data
structures.
While we're at it, clean up the comments over cifs_calculate_signature
and add a note that the srv_mutex should be held when calling this
function.
This patch seems to fix the problems for me, but I'm not clear on
whether it's the best approach. If it is, then this should probably
go to stable too.

Minor revision to the original patch. Don't abuse the __le16 variable
on the stack by casting it to wchar_t and handing it off to char2uni.
Declare an actual wchar_t on the stack instead. This fixes a valid
sparse warning.
Fix the spelling of UNI_ASTERISK. Eliminate the unneeded len_remaining
variable in cifsConvertToUCS.
Also, as David Howells points out. We were better off making
cifsConvertToUCS *not* use put_unaligned_le16 since it means that we
can't optimize the mapped characters at compile time. Switch them
instead to use cpu_to_le16, and simply use put_unaligned to set them
in the string.

Commit 522440ed made cifs set backing_dev_info on the mapping attached
to new inodes. This change caused a fairly significant read performance
regression, as cifs started doing page-sized reads exclusively.
By virtue of the fact that they're allocated as part of cifs_sb_info by
kzalloc, the ra_pages on cifs BDIs get set to 0, which prevents any
readahead. This forces the normal read codepaths to use readpage instead
of readpages causing a four-fold increase in the number of read calls
with the default rsize.
Fix it by setting ra_pages in the BDI to the same value as that in the
default_backing_dev_info.

Currently, we skip doing the is_path_accessible check in cifs_mount if
there is no prefixpath. I have a report of at least one server however
that allows a TREE_CONNECT to a share that has a DFS referral at its
root. The reporter in this case was using a UNC that had no prefixpath,
so the is_path_accessible check was not triggered and the box later hit
a BUG() because we were chasing a DFS referral on the root dentry for
the mount.
This patch fixes this by removing the check for a zero-length
prefixpath. That should make the is_path_accessible check be done in
this situation and should allow the client to chase the DFS referral at
mount time instead.

This flag currently only affects whether we allow "zero-copy" writes
with signing enabled. Typically we map pages in the pagecache directly
into the write request. If signing is enabled however and the contents
of the page change after the signature is calculated but before the
write is sent then the signature will be wrong. Servers typically
respond to this by closing down the socket.
Still, this can provide a performance benefit so the "Experimental" flag
was overloaded to allow this. That's really not a good place for this
option however since it's not clear what that flag does.
Move that flag instead to a new module parameter that better describes
its purpose. That's also better since it can be set at module insertion
time by configuring modprobe.d.

Xen save/restore is going to use hibernate device callbacks for
quiescing devices and putting them back to normal operations and it
would need to select CONFIG_HIBERNATION for this purpose. However,
that also would cause the hibernate interfaces for user space to be
enabled, which might confuse user space, because the Xen kernels
don't support hibernation. Moreover, it would be wasteful, as it
would make the Xen kernels include a substantial amount of code that
they would never use.
To address this issue introduce new power management Kconfig option
CONFIG_HIBERNATE_CALLBACKS, such that it will only select the code
that is necessary for the hibernate device callbacks to work and make
CONFIG_HIBERNATION select it. Then, Xen save/restore will be able to
select CONFIG_HIBERNATE_CALLBACKS without dragging the entire
hibernate code along with it.

If the request_fn ends up blocking, we could be re-entering
the plug flush. Since the list is protected by explicitly
not allowing schedule events, this isn't a terribly good idea.
Additionally, it can cause us to recurse. As request_fn called by
__blk_run_queue is allowed to 'schedule()' (after dropping the queue
lock of course), it is possible to get a recursive call:
schedule -> blk_flush_plug -> __blk_finish_plug -> flush_plug_list
-> __blk_run_queue -> request_fn -> schedule
We must make sure that the second schedule does not call into
blk_flush_plug again. So instead of leaving the list of requests on
blk_plug->list, move them to a separate list leaving blk_plug->list
empty.

The scheduler load balancer has specific code to deal with cases of
unbalanced system due to lots of unmovable tasks (for example because of
hard CPU affinity). In those situation, it excludes the busiest CPU that
has pinned tasks for load balance consideration such that it can perform
second 2nd load balance pass on the rest of the system.
This all works as designed if there is only one cgroup in the system.
However, when we have multiple cgroups, this logic has false positives and
triggers multiple load balance passes despite there are actually no pinned
tasks at all.
The reason it has false positives is that the all pinned logic is deep in
the lowest function of can_migrate_task() and is too low level:
load_balance_fair() iterates each task group and calls balance_tasks() to
migrate target load. Along the way, balance_tasks() will also set a
all_pinned variable. Given that task-groups are iterated, this all_pinned
variable is essentially the status of last group in the scanning process.
Task group can have number of reasons that no load being migrated, none
due to cpu affinity. However, this status bit is being propagated back up
to the higher level load_balance(), which incorrectly think that no tasks
were moved. It kick off the all pinned logic and start multiple passes
attempt to move load onto puller CPU.
To fix this, move the all_pinned aggregation up at the iterator level.
This ensures that the status is aggregated over all task-groups, not just
last one in the list.

In function find_busiest_group(), the sched-domain avg_load isn't
calculated at all if there is a group imbalance within the domain. This
will cause erroneous imbalance calculation.
The reason is that calculate_imbalance() sees sds->avg_load = 0 and it
will dump entire sds->max_load into imbalance variable, which is used
later on to migrate entire load from busiest CPU to the puller CPU.
This has two really bad effect:
1. stampede of task migration, and they won't be able to break out
of the bad state because of positive feedback loop: large load
delta -> heavier load migration -> larger imbalance and the cycle
goes on.
2. severe imbalance in CPU queue depth. This causes really long
scheduling latency blip which affects badly on application that
has tight latency requirement.
The fix is to have kernel calculate domain avg_load in both cases. This
will ensure that imbalance calculation is always sensible and the target
is usually half way between busiest and puller CPU.

There is a bug in perf_event_enable_on_exec() when cgroup events are
active on a CPU: the cgroup events may be scheduled twice causing event
state corruptions which eventually may lead to kernel panics.
The reason is that the function needs to first schedule out the cgroup
events, just like for the per-thread events. The cgroup event are
scheduled back in automatically from the perf_event_context_sched_in()
function.
The patch also adds a WARN_ON_ONCE() is perf_cgroup_switch() to catch any
bogus state.
