      V4L/DVB (6070): Fix a warning at dvb_net · 04b35abe
      Mauro Carvalho Chehab authored
      static function dvb_net_sec declares input arg "pkt" as u8. However, the
      same argument at dvb_net_sec_callback is defined as "const u8". When
      calling dvb_net_sec, this is casted as just "u8".
      
      gcc 4.2.1 generates a warning about that:

      V4L/DVB (6042): b2c2-flexcop: fix Airstar HD5000 tuning regression · 6175e487
      Trent Piepho authored
      Git changeset 6bdcc6e6 dropped the
      stand-alone lgh06xf module, whose functionality was absorbed into the
      dvb-pll module. However, there was a minor difference between the code
      in lgh06xf and dvb-pll, which caused a regression in b2c2-flexcop
      devices using the LG-H06xF NIM.
      
      dvb-pll will probe for the presence of an i2c pll chip by performing a
      single byte read, the lgh06xf driver did not do this. Unfortunately, the
      code in flexcop-i2c.c does not currently support 1 byte or 0 byte reads
      as a probe.  Such probes with the current code will always fail.
      
      In order to work around this problem, and restore proper functionality
      of the Airstar HD5000 device, this hack was created to make the probe
      appear to succeed.  The single byte read in dvb_pll_attach is the only
      place where such a probe would ever occur, so this change is safe, and
      will not affect any other devices.
      
      Of course, if one knew how to actually perform the read operation, it
      would be better to go that route.  In the meantime, however, we must
      apply this workaround, in order to prevent the regression that causes
      tuning to fail on the Airstar HD5000 ATSC device.
      
      Thanks to Jarod Wilson, who had originally reported this regression, and
      to Geoffrey Hausheer, whose original workaround patch led us to find the
      actual cause of the problem.

      sched: skip updating rq's next_balance under null SD · f549da84
      Suresh Siddha authored
      Was playing with sched_smt_power_savings/sched_mc_power_savings and
      found out that while the scheduler domains are reconstructed when sysfs
      settings change, rebalance_domains() can get triggered with null domain
      on other cpus, which is setting next_balance to jiffies + 60*HZ.
      Resulting in no idle/busy balancing for 60 seconds.
      
      Fix this.

      sched: fix broken SMT/MC optimizations · f8700df7
      Suresh Siddha authored
      On a four package system with HT - HT load balancing optimizations were
      broken.  For example, if two tasks end up running on two logical threads
      of one of the packages, scheduler is not able to pull one of the tasks
      to a completely idle package.
      
      In this scenario, for nice-0 tasks, imbalance calculated by scheduler
      will be 512 and find_busiest_queue() will return 0 (as each cpu's load
      is 1024 > imbalance and has only one task running).
      
      Similarly MC scheduler optimizations also get fixed with this patch.
      
      [ mingo@elte.hu: restored fair balancing by increasing the fuzz and
                       adding it back to the power decision, without the /2
                       factor. ]

      sched: accounting regression since rc1 · efe567fc
      Christian Borntraeger authored
      Fix the accounting regression for CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING.  It
      reverts parts of commit b27f03d4 by
      converting fs/proc/array.c back to cputime_t.  The new functions
      task_utime and task_stime now return cputime_t instead of clock_t.  If
      CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUTING is set, task->utime and task->stime are
      returned directly instead of using sum_exec_runtime.
      
      Patch is tested on s390x with and without VIRT_CPU_ACCOUTING as well as
      on i386.

      sched: sched_clock_idle_[sleep|wakeup]_event() · 2aa44d05
      Ingo Molnar authored
      construct a more or less wall-clock time out of sched_clock(), by
      using ACPI-idle's existing knowledge about how much time we spent
      idling. This allows the rq clock to work around TSC-stops-in-C2,
      TSC-gets-corrupted-in-C3 type of problems.
      
      ( Besides the scheduler's statistics this also benefits blktrace and
        printk-timestamps as well. )
      
      Furthermore, the precise before-C2/C3-sleep and after-C2/C3-wakeup
      callbacks allow the scheduler to get out the most of the period where
      the CPU has a reliable TSC. This results in slightly more precise
      task statistics.
      
      the ACPI bits were acked by Len.

      pata_pdc2027x: PLL detection fixes · 78c4af0b
      Mikael Pettersson authored
      Previously I reported that the pata_pdc2027x PLL detection changes
      in kernel 2.6.22 broke the driver on my PowerMac:
      
      >pata_pdc2027x: Invalid PLL input clock 1691742kHz, give up!
      
      This is followed by a number of errors and speed reduction
      steps on the affected ports.
      
      There are two bugs in pata_pdc2027x's PLL detection code:
      
      1. The PLL counter's start value is read before the chip is
         put in "test mode". Outside of test mode the counter is
         halted, and on the PowerMac the counter is zero because
         the chip hasn't been initialised by its BIOS.
      
         The fix is to move the read of the start value to after
         test mode is started, but before the mdelay() in test mode.
         This also improves the precision of the PLL detection.
      
      2. The code to compute the number of PLL decrements during the
         mdelay() in test mode fails to consider that the PLL counter
         only is 30 bits wide. If there is a wraparound, it will compute
         an incorrect and much too large value. On the PowerMac, the
         start count is zero, the end count is a large 30-bit value, so
         wraparound occurs and an out of bounds PLL clock is detected.
      
         The fix is to mask the (start - end) computation to 30 bits.
      
      While debugging this I also noticed that pdc_read_counter()
      reads the two halves of the 30-bit PLL counter as 16-bit values,
      and then combines them as if the halves only are 15 bits wide.
      To avoid confusion, the halves should be read as 15-bit values.
      
      This patch implements all three changes. It fixes the PLL detection
      failure on my PowerMac, and doesn't cause any regressions on an x86
      with an identical card.

      If revalidation fails because device has different n_sectors after
