ab1809b4ed [S390] Fix compile error on 31bit without preemption
Commit b8e7a54cd0 introduced a compile
error if CONFIG_PREEMPT is not set:

arch/s390/kernel/built-in.o: In function `cleanup_io_leave_insn':
/space/kvm/arch/s390/kernel/entry.S:(.text+0xbfce): undefined reference to `preempt_schedule_irq'

This patch hides preempt_schedule_irq if CONFIG_PREEMPT is not set.

436d1bc7fe [S390] dcssblk: prevent early access without own make_request function
When loading a dcss segment with the dcssblk driver, sometimes the
following kind of message appears:

bio too big device dcssblk0 (8 > 0)
Buffer I/O error on device dcssblk0, logical block 172016
..

The fix is to move the disk registration after setting the
make_request function, to avoid calls into generic_make_request
for dcssblock without having the make_request function set up
properly.

c94dec99f9 [S390] cio: Issue SenseID per path.
We may receive a unit check for every path when we issue a SenseID.
Unfortunately, the channel subsystem will try on a different path
every time if we use a lpm of 0xff, which will exhaust our retry
counter.

Therefore, revert SenseID to its previous per-path behaviour and
just leave out the suspend multipath reconnect.

561d9a9694 HWMON: coretemp, suspend fix
It's not permitted to unregister a device after devices have been suspended.
It causes deadlocks to appear on systems with coretemp hwmon loaded.  To avoid
this, we can make coretemp_cpu_callback() do nothing if the _FROZEN bit is set
in action.
 
Also, in other cases it's generally too late to unregister the coretemp device
if the CPU is already dead, so it should be unregistered on CPU_DOWN_PREPARE.

c86c7fbc82 x86: disable hpet on shutdown
If HPET was enabled by pci quirks, we use i8253 as initial clockevent
because pci quirks doesn't run until pci is initialized.

The above means the kernel (or something) is assuming HPET legacy
replacement is disabled and can use i8253 at boot.

If we used kexec, it isn't true. So, this patch disables HPET legacy
replacement for kexec in machine_shutdown().

ce3b642d42 uml: work around host tcsetattr bug
Under the conditions that UML uses it, tcgetattr is guaranteed to return
-EINTR when the console is attached to /dev/ptmx, making generic_console_write
hang because it loops, calling tcgetattr until it succeeds.  This is a host
bug - see http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=119618990807182&w=2 for the
details.

This patch works around it by blocking SIGIO while the terminal attributes are
being fiddled.

8f51506164 Revert "[POWERPC] Fix RTAS os-term usage on kernel panic"
This reverts commit a2b51812a4.

It turns out that this change caused some machines to fail to come
back up when being rebooted, and generated an error in the hypervisor
error log on some machines.  The platform architecture (PAPR) is a
little unclear on exactly when the RTAS ibm,os-term function should be
called.  Until that is clarified I'm reverting this commit.

152c300d00 ACPICA: fix acpi-cpufreq boot crash due to _PSD return-by-reference
Changed resolution of named references in packages

Fixed a problem with the Package operator where all named
references were created as object references and left otherwise
unresolved. According to the ACPI specification, a Package can
only contain Data Objects or references to control methods. The
implication is that named references to Data Objects (Integer,
Buffer, String, Package, BufferField, Field) should be resolved
immediately upon package creation. This is the approach taken
with this change. References to all other named objects (Methods,
Devices, Scopes, etc.) are all now properly created as reference objects.

d842de871c sched: cpu accounting controller (V2)
Commit cfb5285660 removed a useful feature for
us, which provided a cpu accounting resource controller.  This feature would be
useful if someone wants to group tasks only for accounting purpose and doesnt
really want to exercise any control over their cpu consumption.

The patch below reintroduces the feature. It is based on Paul Menage's
original patch (Commit 62d0df6406), with
these differences:

        - Removed load average information. I felt it needs more thought (esp
	  to deal with SMP and virtualized platforms) and can be added for
	  2.6.25 after more discussions.
        - Convert group cpu usage to be nanosecond accurate (as rest of the cfs
	  stats are) and invoke cpuacct_charge() from the respective scheduler
	  classes
	- Make accounting scalable on SMP systems by splitting the usage
	  counter to be per-cpu
	- Move the code from kernel/cpu_acct.c to kernel/sched.c (since the
	  code is not big enough to warrant a new file and also this rightly
	  needs to live inside the scheduler. Also things like accessing
	  rq->lock while reading cpu usage becomes easier if the code lived in
	  kernel/sched.c)

The patch also modifies the cpu controller not to provide the same accounting
information.

Tested-by: Balbir Singh <balbir@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

 Tested the patches on top of 2.6.24-rc3. The patches work fine. Ran
 some simple tests like cpuspin (spin on the cpu), ran several tasks in
 the same group and timed them. Compared their time stamps with
 cpuacct.usage.
