After recent changes related to wakeup events pm_wakeup_event()
automatically checks if the given device is configured to signal wakeup,
so pci_wakeup_event() may be a static inline function calling
pm_wakeup_event() directly.

The PCI sysfs ROM interface requires an enabling write to access the ROM
image, but the default file mode is 0400. The original proposed patch
adding sysfs ROM support was a true read-only interface, with the
enabling bit coming in as a feature request. I suspect it was simply an
oversight that the file mode didn't get updated to match the API.

This functionality is known to be incomplete, so discourage its use in
general-purpose kernels.
The only reason to use this driver is to support PCI hotplug on CNB20LE-
based machines that don't have ACPI, and there are very few such
systems.

The broadcom_bus.c quirk was written (without benefit of documentation)
to support PCI hotplug on an old system that doesn't have ACPI. As
such, we should only use it when the system doesn't have ACPI.
If the system does have ACPI and we need the host bridge description, we
should get it from the ACPI _CRS method. On machines older than 2008,
we currently ignore _CRS, but that doesn't mean we should use
broadcom_bus.c. It means we should either (a) do what we've done in the
past and assume everything in the PCI gap is routed to bus 0 (so hotplug
may not work), or (b) arrange to use _CRS. This patch does (a).

Move the evaluation of acpi_pci_osc_control_set() (to request control of
PCI Express native features) into acpi_pci_root_add() to avoid calling
it many times for the same root complex with the same arguments.
Additionally, check if all of the requisite _OSC support bits are set
before calling acpi_pci_osc_control_set() for a given root complex.

This patch enables pci=bfsort by default on future Dell systems.
It reads SMBIOS type 0xB1 vendor specific record and sets pci=bfsort
accordingly.
Offset Name Length Value Description
04 Flags0 Word Varies Bits 9-10
- 10:9 = 00 Unknown
- 10:9 = 01 Breadth First
- 10:9 = 10 Depth First
- 10:9 = 11 Reserved
1. Any time pci=bfsort has to be enabled on a system, we need to add the
model number of the system to the white list. With this patch, that
is not required.
2. Typically, model number has to be added to the white list when the
system is under development. With this change, that is not required.

I noticed that PCI Express PMEs don't work on my Toshiba Portege R500
after the system has been woken up from a sleep state by a PME
(through Wake-on-LAN). After some investigation it turned out that
the BIOS didn't clear the Root PME Status bit in the root port that
received the wakeup PME and since the Requester ID was also set in
the port's Root Status register, any subsequent PMEs didn't trigger
interrupts.
This problem can be avoided by clearing the Root PME Status bits in
all PCI Express root ports during early resume. For this purpose,
add an early resume routine to the PCIe port driver and make this
driver be always registered, even if pci_ports_disable is set (in
which case the driver's only function is to provide the early
resume callback).

pci-stub uses strsep() to separate list of ids and generates a warning
message when it fails to parse an id. However, not specifying the
parameter results in ids set to an empty string. strsep() happily
returns the empty string as the first token and thus triggers the
warning message spuriously.
Make the tokner ignore zero length ids.

We currently refuse to touch the ASPM registers if the BIOS tells us that
ASPM isn't supported. This can cause problems if the BIOS has (for any
reason) enabled ASPM on some devices anyway. Change the code such that we
explicitly clear ASPM if the FADT indicates that ASPM isn't supported,
and make sure we tidy up appropriately on device removal in order to deal
with the hotplug case. If ASPM is disabled because the BIOS doesn't hand
over control then we won't touch the registers.

The taskstats structure is internally aligned on 8 byte boundaries but the
layout of the aggregrate reply, with two NLA headers and the pid (each 4
bytes), actually force the entire structure to be unaligned. This causes
the kernel to issue unaligned access warnings on some architectures like
ia64. Unfortunately, some software out there doesn't properly unroll the
NLA packet and assumes that the start of the taskstats structure will
always be 20 bytes from the start of the netlink payload. Aligning the
start of the taskstats structure breaks this software, which we don't
want. So, for now the alignment only happens on architectures that
require it and those users will have to update to fixed versions of those
packages. Space is reserved in the packet only when needed. This ifdef
should be removed in several years e.g. 2012 once we can be confident
that fixed versions are installed on most systems. We add the padding
before the aggregate since the aggregate is already a defined type.
Commit 85893120 ("delayacct: align to 8 byte boundary on 64-bit systems")
previously addressed the alignment issues by padding out the pid field.
This was supposed to be a compatible change but the circumstances
described above mean that it wasn't. This patch backs out that change,
since it was a hack, and introduces a new NULL attribute type to provide
the padding. Padding the response with 4 bytes avoids allocating an
aligned taskstats structure and copying it back. Since the structure
weighs in at 328 bytes, it's too big to do it on the stack.

The current packed struct implementation of unaligned access adds the
packed attribute only to the field within the unaligned struct rather than
to the struct as a whole. This is not sufficient to enforce proper
behaviour on architectures with a default struct alignment of more than
one byte.
For example, the current implementation of __get_unaligned_cpu16 when
compiled for arm with gcc -O1 -mstructure-size-boundary=32 assumes the
struct is on a 4 byte boundary so performs the load of the 16bit packed
field as if it were on a 4 byte boundary:
__get_unaligned_cpu16:
ldrh r0, [r0, #0]
bx lr
Moving the packed attribute to the struct rather than the field causes the
proper unaligned access code to be generated:
__get_unaligned_cpu16:
ldrb r3, [r0, #0] @ zero_extendqisi2
ldrb r0, [r0, #1] @ zero_extendqisi2
orr r0, r3, r0, asl #8
bx lr

average.

This happens when __logfs_create() tries to write a new inode to the disk
which is full.
__logfs_create() associates the transaction pointer with inode. During
the logfs_write_inode() function call chain this transaction pointer is
moved from inode to page->private using function move_inode_to_page
(do_write_inode() -> inode_to_page() -> move_inode_to_page)
When the write inode fails, the transaction is aborted and iput is called
on the failed inode. During delete_inode the same transaction pointer
associated with the page is getting used. Thus causing kernel BUG.
The patch checks for error in write_inode() and restores the page->private
to NULL.

The same mutex is used in address_space_operations->writepage(), and a

When correlating ftrace results with /proc/vmstat, I noticed that the
reporting scripts value for "pages scanned" differed significantly. Both
values were "right" depending on how you look at it.
The difference is due to vmstat only counting scanning of the inactive
list towards pages scanned. The analysis script for the tracepoint counts
active and inactive list yielding a far higher value than vmstat. The
resulting scanning/reclaim ratio looks much worse. The tracepoint is ok
but this patch updates the reporting script so that the report values for
scanned are similar to vmstat.

The current tile rt_sigreturn() syscall pattern uses the common idiom
of loading up pt_regs with all the saved registers from the time of
the signal, then anticipating the fact that we will clobber the ABI
"return value" register (r0) as we return from the syscall by setting
the rt_sigreturn return value to whatever random value was in the pt_regs
for r0.
However, this breaks in our 64-bit kernel when running "compat" tasks,
since we always sign-extend the "return value" register to properly
handle returned pointers that are in the upper 2GB of the 32-bit compat
address space. Doing this to the sigreturn path then causes occasional
random corruption of the 64-bit r0 register.
Instead, we stop doing the crazy "load the return-value register"
hack in sigreturn. We already have some sigreturn-specific assembly
code that we use to pass the pt_regs pointer to C code. We extend that
code to also set the link register to point to a spot a few instructions
after the usual syscall return address so we don't clobber the saved r0.
Now it no longer matters what the rt_sigreturn syscall returns, and the
pt_regs structure can be cleanly and completely reloaded.

Previously we were just setting up the "tp" register in the
new task as started by clone() in libc. However, this is not
quite right, since in principle a signal might be delivered to
the new task before it had its TLS set up. (Of course, this race
window still exists for resetting the libc getpid() cached value
in the new task, in principle. But in any case, we are now doing
this exactly the way all other architectures do it.)
This change is important for 2.6.37 since the tile glibc we will
be submitting upstream will not set TLS in user space any more,
so it will only work on a kernel that has this fix. It should
also be taken for 2.6.36.x in the stable tree if possible.
