This patch series adds generic support for creating and extracting
LZO-compressed kernel images, as well as support for using such images on
the x86 and ARM architectures, and support for creating and using
LZO-compressed initrd and initramfs images.
Russell King said:
: Testing on a Cortex A9 model:
: - lzo decompressor is 65% of the time gzip takes to decompress a kernel
: - lzo kernel is 9% larger than a gzip kernel
:
: which I'm happy to say confirms your figures when comparing the two.
:
: However, when comparing your new gzip code to the old gzip code:
: - new is 99% of the size of the old code
: - new takes 42% of the time to decompress than the old code
:
: What this means is that for a proper comparison, the results get even better:
: - lzo is 7.5% larger than the old gzip'd kernel image
: - lzo takes 28% of the time that the old gzip code took
:
: So the expense seems definitely worth the effort. The only reason I
: can think of ever using gzip would be if you needed the additional
: compression (eg, because you have limited flash to store the image.)
:
: I would argue that the default for ARM should therefore be LZO.
This patch:
The lzo compressor is worse than gzip at compression, but faster at
extraction. Here are some figures for an ARM board I'm working on:
Uncompressed size: 3.24Mo
gzip 1.61Mo 0.72s
lzo 1.75Mo 0.48s
So for a compression ratio that is still relatively close to gzip, it's
much faster to extract, at least in that case.
This part contains:
- Makefile routine to support lzo compression
- Fixes to the existing lzo compressor so that it can be used in
compressed kernels
- wrapper around the existing lzo1x_decompress, as it only extracts one
block at a time, while we need to extract a whole file here
- config dialog for kernel compression

When we have L3 tunnels with different inner/outer families
(i.e. IPV4/IPV6) which use a multicast address as the outer tunnel
destination address, multicast packets will be loopbacked back to the
sending socket even if IP*_MULTICAST_LOOP is set to disabled.
The mc_loop flag is present in the family specific part of the socket
(e.g. the IPv4 or IPv4 specific part). setsockopt sets the inner
family mc_loop flag. When the packet is pushed through the L3 tunnel
it will eventually be processed by the outer family which if different
will check the flag in a different part of the socket then it was set.

drm_pci_alloc() has input of address mask for setting pci dma

or mistake would corrupt the correct dma mask setting, as seen on
intel hw which set wrong dma mask for hw status page. So remove
it from drm_pci_alloc() function.

When working with FDPIC, there are many shared mappings of read-only
code regions between applications (the C library, applet packages like
busybox, etc.), but the current do_mmap_pgoff() function will issue an
icache flush whenever a VMA is added to an MM instead of only doing it
when the map is initially created.
The flush can instead be done when a region is first mmapped PROT_EXEC.
Note that we may not rely on the first mapping of a region being
executable - it's possible for it to be PROT_READ only, so we have to
remember whether we've flushed the region or not, and then flush the
entire region when a bit of it is made executable.
However, this also affects the brk area. That will no longer be
executable. We can mprotect() it to PROT_EXEC on MPU-mode kernels, but
for NOMMU mode kernels, when it increases the brk allocation, making
sys_brk() flush the extra from the icache should suffice. The brk area
probably isn't used by NOMMU programs since the brk area can only use up
the leavings from the stack allocation, where the stack allocation is
larger than requested.

This patch adds a new execbuf ioctl, execbuf2, for use by clients that
want to control fence register allocation more finely. The buffer
passed in to the new ioctl includes a new relocation type to indicate
whether a given object needs a fence register assigned for the command
buffer in question.
Compatibility with the existing execbuf ioctl is implemented in terms
of the new code, preserving the assumption that fence registers are
required for pre-965 rendering commands.

sysfs_remove_group() waits for sysfs attributes to be removed, therefore
we do not need to worry about driver-specific attributes being accessed
after driver has been detached from the device. In fact, attempts to take
serio->drv_mutex in attribute methods may lead to the following deadlock:
sysfs_read_file()
fill_read_buffer()
sysfs_get_active_two()
psmouse_attr_show_helper()
serio_pin_driver()
serio_disconnect_driver()
mutex_lock(&serio->drv_mutex);
<--------> mutex_lock(&serio_drv_mutex);
psmouse_disconnect()
sysfs_remove_group(... psmouse_attr_group);
....
sysfs_deactivate();
wait_for_completion();
Fix this by removing calls to serio_[un]pin_driver() and functions themselves
and using driver-private mutexes to serialize access to attribute's set()
methods that may change device state.

It turns out that some PCI devices require extra delays when changing
power state from D3 to D0 (and the other way around). Although this
is against the PCI specification, we can handle it quite easily by
allowing drivers to define arbitrary D3 delays for devices known to
require extra time for switching power states.
Introduce additional field d3_delay in struct pci_dev and use it to
store the value of the device's D0->D3 delay, in miliseconds. Make
the PCI PM core code use the per-device d3_delay unless
pci_pm_d3_delay is greater (in which case the latter is used).
[This also allows the driver to specify d3_delay shorter than the
10 ms required by the PCI standard if the device is known to be able
to handle that.]
Make the sky2 driver set d3_delay to 150 for devices handled by it.
Fixes http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14730 which is a
listed regression from 2.6.30.

We want to be sure that compiler fetches the limit variable only
once, so add helpers for fetching current and maximal resource
limits which do that.
Add them to sched.h (instead of resource.h) due to circular dependency
sched.h->resource.h->task_struct
Alternative would be to create a separate res_access.h or similar.
