Akinobu Mita b329becfc7 char: add WARN_ON() in misc_deregister()
misc_deregister() returns an error only when it attempts to unregister
the device that is not registered. This is the driver's bug.

Most of the drivers don't check the return value of misc_deregister().
(It is not bad thing because most of kernel *_unregister() API always
succeed and do not return value)

So it is better to indicate the error by WARN_ON() in misc_deregister().

Kevin Winchester 22c5c03b42 init/main.c: fix warning: 'calltime.tv64' may be used uninitialized
Using:

	gcc (GCC) 4.5.0 20100610 (prerelease)

The following warning appears:

	init/main.c: In function `do_one_initcall':
	init/main.c:730:10: warning: `calltime.tv64' may be used uninitialized in this function

This warning is actually correct, as the global initcall_debug could
arguably be changed by the initcall.

Correct this warning by extracting a new function, do_one_initcall_debug,
that performs the initcall for the debug case.

Oleg Nesterov 2ee7c922f2 sys_personality: remove the bogus checks in sys_personality()->__set_personality() path
Cleanup, no functional changes.

- __set_personality() always changes ->exec_domain/personality, the
  special case when ->exec_domain remains the same buys nothing but
  complicates the code. Unify both cases to simplify the code.

- The -EINVAL check in sys_personality() was never right. If we assume
  that set_personality() can fail we should check the value it returns
  instead of verifying that task->personality was actually changed.

  Remove it. Before the previous patch it was possible to hit this case
  due to overflow problems, but this -EINVAL just indicated the kernel
  bug.

OTOH, probably it makes sense to change lookup_exec_domain() to return
ERR_PTR() instead of default_exec_domain if the search in exec_domains
list fails, and report this error to the user-space.  But this means
another user-space change, and we have in-kernel users which need fixes.
For example, PER_OSF4 falls into PER_MASK for unkown reason and nobody
cares to register this domain.

Christoph Mair 5bf1d290b5 drivers/misc: support for the pressure sensor BMP085 from Bosch Sensortec
This driver adds support for the BMP085 digital pressure sensor from Bosch
Sensortec.  It exposes a sysfs api to userspace where pressure and
temperature measurement results can be read from the pressure0_input and
temp0_input file.  The chip is able to calculate the average of up to
eight samples to increase the accuracy.  This feature can be controlled by
writing to the oversampling file.

The BMP085 digital pressure sensor can measure ambient air pressure and
temperature.  Both values can be obtained from sysfs files.  The pressure
is measured by reading from pressure0_input.  Valid values range from
30000 to 110000 pascal with a resolution of 1 pascal (=0.01 millibar).

temp0_input holds the current temperature in degree celsius, multiplied by
10.  This results in a resolution of a tenth degree celsius.  Values range
from -400 to 850.

To increase the accuracy, this chip can calculate the average of 1, 2, 4
or 8 samples.  This behavior is controlled through the oversampling sysfs
file.  Two to the power of the value written to that file specifies how
many samples will be used.  Valid values: 0..3.

Anton Blanchard e269b08517 iommu: inline iommu_num_pages
A profile of a network benchmark showed iommu_num_pages rather high up:

     0.52%  iommu_num_pages

Looking at the profile, an integer divide is taking almost all of the time:

   45.66 :      c000000000376ec0:       7c 84 02 14     add     r4,r4,r0
    0.00 :      c000000000376ec4:       7c 64 2b 92     divdu   r3,r4,r5
    0.00 :      c000000000376ec8:       38 3f 00 40     addi    r1,r31,64

    1.61 :      c000000000376ed0:       4e 80 00 20     blr

Since every caller of iommu_num_pages passes in a constant power of two
we can inline this such that the divide is replaced by a shift. The
entire function is only a few instructions once optimised, so it is
a good candidate for inlining overall.

The warnings are related to the use of the NAME_OFFSET() macro.  Luckily,
it appears as though the standard offsetof() macro is what is being
implemented by NAME_OFFSET(), thus we can fix the warning and use a more
standard code construct at the same time.

Ai Li 71abbbf856 cpuidle: extend cpuidle and menu governor to handle dynamic states
On some SoC chips, HW resources may be in use during any particular idle
period.  As a consequence, the cpuidle states that the SoC is safe to
enter can change from idle period to idle period.  In addition, the
latency and threshold of each cpuidle state can vary, depending on the
operating condition when the CPU becomes idle, e.g.  the current cpu
frequency, the current state of the HW blocks, etc.

cpuidle core and the menu governor, in the current form, are geared
towards cpuidle states that are static, i.e.  the availabiltiy of the
states, their latencies, their thresholds are non-changing during run
time.  cpuidle does not provide any hook that cpuidle drivers can use to
adjust those values on the fly for the current idle period before the menu
governor selects the target cpuidle state.

This patch extends cpuidle core and the menu governor to handle states
that are dynamic.  There are three additions in the patch and the patch
maintains backwards-compatibility with existing cpuidle drivers.

1) add prepare() to struct cpuidle_device.  A cpuidle driver can hook
   into the callback and cpuidle will call prepare() before calling the
   governor's select function.  The callback gives the cpuidle driver a
   chance to update the dynamic information of the cpuidle states for the
   current idle period, e.g.  state availability, latencies, thresholds,
   power values, etc.

2) add CPUIDLE_FLAG_IGNORE as one of the state flags.  In the prepare()
   function, a cpuidle driver can set/clear the flag to indicate to the
   menu governor whether a cpuidle state should be ignored, i.e.  not
   available, during the current idle period.

3) add power_specified bit to struct cpuidle_device.  The menu governor
   currently assumes that the cpuidle states are arranged in the order of
   increasing latency, threshold, and power savings.  This is true or can
   be made true for static states.  Once the state parameters are dynamic,
   the latencies, thresholds, and power savings for the cpuidle states can
   increase or decrease by different amounts from idle period to idle
   period.  So the assumption of increasing latency, threshold, and power
   savings from Cn to C(n+1) can no longer be guaranteed.

It can be straightforward to calculate the power consumption of each
available state and to specify it in power_usage for the idle period.
Using the power_usage fields, the menu governor then selects the state
that has the lowest power consumption and that still satisfies all other
critieria.  The power_specified bit defaults to 0.  For existing cpuidle
drivers, cpuidle detects that power_specified is 0 and fills in a dummy
set of power_usage values.

KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki d2997b1042 hibernation: freeze swap at hibernation
When taking a memory snapshot in hibernate_snapshot(), all (directly
called) memory allocations use GFP_ATOMIC.  Hence swap misusage during
hibernation never occurs.

But from a pessimistic point of view, there is no guarantee that no page
allcation has __GFP_WAIT.  It is better to have a global indication "we
enter hibernation, don't use swap!".

This patch tries to freeze new-swap-allocation during hibernation.  (All
user processes are frozenm so swapin is not a concern).

This way, no updates will happen to swap_map[] between
hibernate_snapshot() and save_image().  Swap is thawed when swsusp_free()
is called.  We can be assured that swap corruption will not occur.

free entry in swap_map[], a swap entry may be able to be reclaimed and
reused.  It was caused by commit c9e444103b ("mm: reuse unused swap
entry if necessary").

But this caused deta corruption at resume. The scenario is

- Assume a clean-swap cache, but mapped.

- at hibernation_snapshot[], clean-swap-cache is saved as
  clean-swap-cache and swap_map[] is marked as SWAP_HAS_CACHE.

- then, save_image() is called.  And reuse SWAP_HAS_CACHE entry to save
  image, and break the contents.

After resume:

- the memory reclaim runs and finds clean-not-referenced-swap-cache and
  discards it because it's marked as clean.  But here, the contents on
  disk and swap-cache is inconsistent.

Hance memory is corrupted.

This patch avoids the bug by not reclaiming swap-entry during hibernation.
This is a quick fix for backporting.

Michael Cree 979f867191 alpha: implement HW performance events on the EV67 and later CPUs
This implements hardware performance events for the EV67 and later CPUs
within the Linux performance events subsystem.  Only using the performance
monitoring unit in HP/Compaq's so called "Aggregrate mode" is supported.

The code has been implemented in a manner that makes extension to other
older Alpha CPUs relatively straightforward should some mug wish to
indulge themselves.
