      [CPUFREQ] update Doc for cpuinfo_cur_freq and scaling_cur_freq · da470db1
      Naga Chumbalkar authored 
      I think the way "cpuinfo_cur_info" and "scaling_cur_info" are defined under
./Documentation/cpu-freq/user-guide.txt can be enhanced. Currently, they are
both defined the same way: "Current speed/frequency" of the CPU, in KHz".

Below is a patch that distinguishes one from the other.

Regards,
- naga -

-----------------------------------------
Update description for "cpuinfo_cur_freq" and "scaling_cur_freq".

Some of the wording is drawn from comments found in
./drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c: cpufreq_out_of_sync():

 *      @old_freq: CPU frequency the kernel thinks the CPU runs at
 *      @new_freq: CPU frequency the CPU actually runs at

      [CPUFREQ] Re-enable cpufreq suspend and resume code · ce6c3997
      Dominik Brodowski authored 
      Commit 4bc5d341 is broken and causes regressions:

(1) cpufreq_driver->resume() and ->suspend() were only called on
__powerpc__, but you could set them on all architectures. In fact,
->resume() was defined and used before the PPC-related commit
42d4dc3f complained about in 4bc5d341.

(2) Therfore, the resume functions in acpi_cpufreq and speedstep-smi
would never be called.

(3) This means speedstep-smi would be unusuable after suspend or resume.

The _real_ problem was calling cpufreq_driver->get() with interrupts
off, but it re-enabling interrupts on some platforms. Why is ->get()
necessary?

Some systems like to change the CPU frequency behind our
back, especially during BIOS-intensive operations like suspend or
resume. If such systems also use a CPU frequency-dependant timing loop,
delays might be off by large factors. Therefore, we need to ascertain
as soon as possible that the CPU frequency is indeed at the speed we
think it is. You can do this two ways: either setting it anew, or trying
to get it. The latter is what was done, the former also has the same IRQ
issue.

So, let's try something different: defer the checking to after interrupts
are re-enabled, by calling cpufreq_update_policy() (via schedule_work()).
Timings may be off until this later stage, so let's watch out for
resume regressions caused by the deferred handling of frequency changes
behind the kernel's back.

      autofs4 - fix missed case when changing to use struct path · 37d0892c
      Ian Kent authored 
      In the recent change by Al Viro that changes verious subsystems
to use "struct path" one case was missed in the autofs4 module
which causes mounts to no longer expire.

      ata_piix: parallel scanning on PATA needs an extra locking · 60c3be38
      Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz authored 
      Commit log for commit 517d3cc1
("[libata] ata_piix: Enable parallel scan") says:

    This patch turns on parallel scanning for the ata_piix driver.
    This driver is used on most netbooks (no AHCI for cheap storage it seems).
    The scan is the dominating time factor in the kernel boot for these
    devices; with this flag it gets cut in half for the device I used
    for testing (eeepc).
    Alan took a look at the driver source and concluded that it ought to be safe
    to do for this driver.  Alan has also checked with the hardware team.

and it is all true but once we put all things together additional
constraints for PATA controllers show up (some hardware registers
have per-host not per-port atomicity) and we risk misprogramming
the controller.

I used the following test to check whether the issue is real:

  @@ -736,8 +736,20 @@ static void piix_set_piomode(struct ata_
   			(timings[pio][1] << 8);
   	}
   	pci_write_config_word(dev, master_port, master_data);
  -	if (is_slave)
  +	if (is_slave) {
  +		if (ap->port_no == 0) {
  +			u8 tmp = slave_data;
  +
  +			while (slave_data == tmp) {
  +				pci_read_config_byte(dev, slave_port, &tmp);
  +				msleep(50);
  +			}
  +
  +			dev_printk(KERN_ERR, &dev->dev, "PATA parallel scan "
  +				   "race detected\n");
  +		}
   		pci_write_config_byte(dev, slave_port, slave_data);
  +	}

   	/* Ensure the UDMA bit is off - it will be turned back on if
   	   UDMA is selected */

and it indeed triggered the error message.

Lets fix all such races by adding an extra locking to ->set_piomode
and ->set_dmamode methods for PATA controllers.

[ Alan: would be better to take the host lock in libata-core for these
  cases so that we fix all the adapters in one swoop.  "Looks fine as a
  temproary quickfix tho" ]
