fbcb7599e4 9p: remove deprecated v9fs_fid_lookup_remove()
This patch removes the v9fs_fid_lookup_remove which is no longer used.

Based on original patch from Adrian Bunk <bunk@stusta.de> which
used #if 0 to isolate the code.

27a2a5ff41 9p: update maintainers and documentation
Updates to the MAINTAINERS file and documentation for 9p to point to the
swik wiki versus the outdated sf.net page.  Also updated some email addresses
and added pointers to papers which better describe the implementation and
application of the Linux 9p client.

8eb891fc80 Revert "USB: EHCI cpufreq fix"
This reverts commit 196705c9bb.  It was
reported to cause a regression by Daniel Exner, and Arjan van de Ven
points out that we actually already have infrastructure in place for
setting limits on acceptable DMA latency that would be the much more
correct fix for the problem with some Broadcom EHCI controllers.

Fixed up trivial conflicts due to the changes to support big-endian host
controller descriptors in drivers/usb/host/{ehci-sched.c,ehci.h}.

848c4dd515 dio: zero struct dio with kzalloc instead of manually
This patch uses kzalloc to zero all of struct dio rather than manually
trying to track which fields we rely on being zero.  It passed aio+dio
stress testing and some bug regression testing on ext3.

This patch was introduced by Linus in the conversation that lead up to
Badari's minimal fix to manually zero .map_bh.b_state in commit:

  6a648fa721

It makes the code a bit smaller.  Maybe a couple fewer cachelines to
load, if we're lucky:

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
3285925  568506 1304616 5159047  4eb887 vmlinux
3285797  568506 1304616 5158919  4eb807 vmlinux.patched

I was unable to measure a stable difference in the number of cpu cycles
spent in blockdev_direct_IO() when pushing aio+dio 256K reads at
~340MB/s.

So the resulting intent of the patch isn't a performance gain but to
avoid exposing ourselves to the risk of finding another field like
.map_bh.b_state where we rely on zeroing but don't enforce it in the
code.

0c5564bd91 ensure we don't use bootconsoles after init has been released
This is a followup to the cleanups for earlyprintk patch from Gerd Hoffmann

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=69331af79cf29e26d1231152a172a1a10c2df511

This ensures that a bootconsole is unregistered if it is not replaced.
The current implementation spews garbage out the bootconsole in this case,
since the bootconsole structure is normally in the init section, and is
freed, but still used.

6d77444aca V4L/DVB (6027): Get rid of an ill-behaved msleep in i2c write
Configuring the OLPC camera requires something over 150 register
writes.  Unfortunately, querying the CAFE i2c controller too
soon after a write causes the hardware to flake.  The problem had
been "solved" with an msleep() call, but, between the number of
registers and how msleep() behaves, that resulted in a 3-second
delay on camera initialization.  Instead, we hand-code a wait for
the completion interrupt which avoids reading the status registers.

When taking a cpu down, we need to hardware_disable() it.
Unfortunately, the CPU_DYING notifier is called with interrupts
disabled, which means we can't use smp_call_function_single().

Fortunately, the CPU_DYING notifier is always called on the dying cpu,
so we don't need to use the function at all and can simply call
hardware_disable() directly.

d34fda4a84 x86: properly initialize temp insn buffer for paravirt patching
With commit ab144f5ec6 the patching code
now collects the complete new instruction stream into a temp buffer
before finally patching in the new insns.  In some cases the paravirt
patchers will choose to leave the patch site unpatched (length mismatch,
clobbers mismatch, etc).

This causes the new patching code to copy an uninitialized temp buffer,
i.e.  garbage, to the callsite.  Simply make sure to always initialize
the buffer with the original instruction stream.  A better fix is to
audit all the patchers and return proper length so that apply_paravirt()
can skip copies when we leave the patch site untouched.

8154549cb8 x86_64: Fail dma_alloc_coherent on dma less devices
This should fix an oops with PCMCIA PATA devices

	http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8424

This is not a full fix for the problem, but probably
still the right thing to do.

[ I'm almost certain it's *not* the right thing to do, but it avoids an
  oops, and I want comments from others on what the right thing would
  actually be..  I suspect we should just remove the use of dma_mask
  entirely in this function, and just use coherent_dma_mask.  - Linus ]

1a2b73302a fix random hang in forcedeth driver when using netconsole
If the forcedeth driver receives too much work in an interrupt, it
assumes it has a broken hardware with stuck IRQ.  It works around the
problem by disabling interrupts on the nic but makes a printk while
holding device spinlog - which isn't smart thing to do if you have
netconsole on the same nic.

This patch moves the printk's out of the spinlock protected area.

Without this patch the machine hangs hard.  With this patch everything
still works even when there is significant increase on CPU usage while
using the nic.

62be90012c i386: Fix a couple busy loops in mach_wakecpu.h:wait_for_init_deassert()
Use cpu_relax() in the busy loops, as atomic_read() doesn't automatically
imply volatility for i386 and x86_64. x86_64 doesn't have this issue because
it open-codes the while loop in smpboot.c:smp_callin() itself that already
uses cpu_relax().

For i386, however, smpboot.c:smp_callin() calls wait_for_init_deassert()
which is buggy for mach-default and mach-es7000 cases.

[ I test-built a kernel -- smp_callin() itself got inlined in its only
  callsite, smpboot.c:start_secondary() -- and the relevant piece of
  code disassembles to the following:

0xc1019704 <start_secondary+12>:        mov    0xc144c4c8,%eax
0xc1019709 <start_secondary+17>:        test   %eax,%eax
0xc101970b <start_secondary+19>:        je     0xc1019709 <start_secondary+17>

  init_deasserted (at 0xc144c4c8) gets fetched into %eax only once and
  then we loop over the test of the stale value in the register only,
  so these look like real bugs to me. With the fix below, this becomes:

0xc1019706 <start_secondary+14>:        pause
0xc1019708 <start_secondary+16>:        cmpl   $0x0,0xc144c4c8
0xc101970f <start_secondary+23>:        je     0xc1019706 <start_secondary+14>

  which looks nice and healthy. ]

Thanks to Heiko Carstens for noticing this.
