Artiom Myaskouvskey bf7e6a1963 [PATCH] i386: Preserve EFI run time regions with memmap parameter
When using memmap kernel parameter in EFI boot we should also add to memory map
memory regions of runtime services to enable their mapping later.

Artiom Myaskouvskey e1cccf48b1 [PATCH] i386: call efi_get_time during suspend
Function efi_get_time called not only during init kernel phase but also
during suspend (from get_cmos_time).

When it is called from get_cmos_time the corresponding runtime service
should be called in virtual and not in physical mode.

Eric W. Biederman 968de4f026 [PATCH] i386: Relocatable kernel support
This patch modifies the i386 kernel so that if CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is
selected it will be able to be loaded at any 4K aligned address below
1G.  The technique used is to compile the decompressor with -fPIC and
modify it so the decompressor is fully relocatable.  For the main
kernel relocations are generated.  Resulting in a kernel that is relocatable
with no runtime overhead and no need to modify the source code.

A reserved 32bit word in the parameters has been assigned
to serve as a stack so we figure out where are running.

Matthew Wilcox e62438630c [PATCH] Centralise definitions of sector_t and blkcnt_t
CONFIG_LBD and CONFIG_LSF are spread into asm/types.h for no particularly
good reason.

Centralising the definition in linux/types.h means that arch maintainers
don't need to bother adding it, as well as fixing the problem with
x86-64 users being asked to make a decision that has absolutely no
effect.

The H8/300 porters seem particularly confused since I'm not aware of any
microcontrollers that need to support 2TB filesystems.

Dwayne Grant McConnell bf1ab978be [POWERPC] coredump: Add SPU elf notes to coredump.
This patch adds SPU elf notes to the coredump. It creates a separate note
for each of /regs, /fpcr, /lslr, /decr, /decr_status, /mem, /signal1,
/signal1_type, /signal2, /signal2_type, /event_mask, /event_status,
/mbox_info, /ibox_info, /wbox_info, /dma_info, /proxydma_info, /object-id.

A new macro, ARCH_HAVE_EXTRA_NOTES, was created for architectures to
specify they have extra elf core notes.

A new macro, ELF_CORE_EXTRA_NOTES_SIZE, was created so the size of the
additional notes could be calculated and added to the notes phdr entry.

A new macro, ELF_CORE_WRITE_EXTRA_NOTES, was created so the new notes
would be written after the existing notes.

The SPU coredump code resides in spufs. Stub functions are provided in the
kernel which are hooked into the spufs code which does the actual work via
register_arch_coredump_calls().

A new set of __spufs_<file>_read/get() functions was provided to allow the
coredump code to read from the spufs files without having to lock the
SPU context for each file read from.

Tejun Heo 800b399669 [PATCH] libata: always use polling IDENTIFY
libata switched to IRQ-driven IDENTIFY when IRQ-driven PIO was
introduced.  This has caused a lot of problems including device
misdetection and phantom device.

ATA_FLAG_DETECT_POLLING was added recently to selectively use polling
IDENTIFY on problemetic drivers but many controllers and devices are
affected by this problem and trying to adding ATA_FLAG_DETECT_POLLING
for each such case is diffcult and not very rewarding.

This patch makes libata always use polling IDENTIFY.  This is
consistent with libata's original behavior and drivers/ide's behavior.

Tejun Heo 3d3cca3755 [PATCH] libata: implement ATA_FLAG_SETXFER_POLLING and use it in pata_via, take #2
This patch implements ATA_FLAG_SETXFER_POLLING and use in pata_via.
If this flag is set, transfer mode setting performed by polling not by
interrupt.  This should help those controllers which raise interrupt
before the command is actually complete on SETXFER.

Rationale for this approach.

* uses existing facility and relatively simple
* no busy sleep in the interrupt handler
* updating drivers is easy

While at it, kill now unused flag ATA_FLAG_SRST in pata_via.

Tejun Heo 582982e699 [PATCH] libata: remove unused HSM_ST_UNKNOWN
HSM_ST_UNKNOWN is not used anywhere.  Its value is zero and supposed
to serve sanity check purpose but HSM_ST_IDLE is used for that
purpose.  This unused state causes confusion.  After a port is
initialized but before the first command is executed, the idle hsm
state is UNKNOWN.  However, once a command has completed, the idle hsm
state is IDLE.  This defeats sanity check in ata_pio_task() for the
first command.

This patch removes HSM_ST_UNKNOWN and consequently make HSM_ST_IDLE
the default state.
