timecompare: generic infrastructure to map between two time bases
Mapping from a struct timecounter to a time returned by functions like
ktime_get_real() is implemented. This is sufficient to use this code
in a network device driver which wants to support hardware time
stamping and transformation of hardware time stamps to system time.
The interface could have been made more versatile by not depending on
a time counter, but this wasn't done to avoid writing glue code
elsewhere.
The method implemented here is the one used and analyzed under the name
"assisted PTP" in the LCI PTP paper:

clocksource: allow usage independent of timekeeping.c
So far struct clocksource acted as the interface between time/timekeeping.c
and hardware. This patch generalizes the concept so that a similar
interface can also be used in other contexts. For that it introduces
new structures and related functions *without* touching the existing
struct clocksource.
The reasons for adding these new structures to clocksource.[ch] are
* the APIs are clearly related
* struct clocksource could be cleaned up to use the new structs
* avoids proliferation of files with similar names (timesource.h?
timecounter.h?)
As outlined in the discussion with John Stultz, this patch adds
* struct cyclecounter: stateless API to hardware which counts clock cycles
* struct timecounter: stateful utility code built on a cyclecounter which
provides a nanosecond counter
* only the function to read the nanosecond counter; deltas are used internally
and not exposed to users of timecounter
The code does no locking of the shared state. It must be called at least
as often as the cycle counter wraps around to detect these wrap arounds.
Both is the responsibility of the timecounter user.

doc: mmiotrace.txt, buffer size control change
Impact: prevents confusing the user when buffer size is inadequate
The tracing framework offers a resizeable buffer, which mmiotrace uses
to record events. If the buffer is full, the following events will be
lost. Events should not be lost, so the documentation instructs the user
to increase the buffer size. The buffer size is set via a debugfs file.
Mmiotrace documentation was not updated the same time the debugfs file
was changed. The old file was tracing/trace_entries and first contained
the number of entries the buffer had space for, per cpu. Nowadays this
file is replaced with the file tracing/buffer_size_kb, which tells the
amount of memory reserved for the buffer, per cpu, in kilobytes.
Previously, a flag had to be toggled via the debugfs file
tracing/tracing_enabled when the buffer size was changed. This is no
longer necessary.
The mmiotrace documentation is updated to reflect the current state of
the tracing framework.

It's unlikely we'll see VM pages of up to 256k, but at some point we
might find that the Linux VM has been enhanced to support filesystem

Haven't tested this version as such, but it should be getting closer

After noticing some code in mm/filemap.c accidentally perform a __GFP_FS
allocation when it should not have been, I thought it might be a good idea to
try to catch this kind of thing with lockdep.
I coded up a little idea that seems to work. Unfortunately the system has to
actually be in __GFP_FS page reclaim, then take the lock, before it will mark
it. But at least that might still be some orders of magnitude more common
(and more debuggable) than an actual deadlock condition, so we have some
improvement I hope (the concept is no less complete than discovery of a lock's
interrupt contexts).
I guess we could even do the same thing with __GFP_IO (normal reclaim), and
even GFP_NOIO locks too... but filesystems will have the most locks and fiddly
code paths, so let's start there and see how it goes.
It *seems* to work. I did a quick test.

4xx chips commonly now have multiple PHBs, there is no reason to not
enable PCI domains on them. The main issue with PCI domains is X but
currently its already somewhat busted for other reasons such as the
36-bit physical address space, which I'm fixing separately.

powerpc/44x: Support for 256KB PAGE_SIZE
This patch adds support for 256KB pages on ppc44x-based boards.
For simplification of implementation with 256KB pages we still assume
2-level paging. As a side effect this leads to wasting extra memory space
reserved for PTE tables: only 1/4 of pages allocated for PTEs are
actually used. But this may be an acceptable trade-off to achieve the
high performance we have with big PAGE_SIZEs in some applications (e.g.
RAID).
Also with 256KB PAGE_SIZE we increase THREAD_SIZE up to 32KB to minimize
the risk of stack overflows in the cases of on-stack arrays, which size
depends on the page size (e.g. multipage BIOs, NTFS, etc.).
With 256KB PAGE_SIZE we need to decrease the PKMAP_ORDER at least down
to 9, otherwise all high memory (2 ^ 10 * PAGE_SIZE == 256MB) we'll be
occupied by PKMAP addresses leaving no place for vmalloc. We do not
separate PKMAP_ORDER for 256K from 16K/64K PAGE_SIZE here; actually that
value of 10 in support for 16K/64K had been selected rather intuitively.
Thus now for all cases of PAGE_SIZE on ppc44x (including the default, 4KB,
one) we have 512 pages for PKMAP.
Because ELF standard supports only page sizes up to 64K, then you should
use binutils later than 2.17.50.0.3 with '-zmax-page-size' set to 256K
for building applications, which are to be run with the 256KB-page sized
kernel. If using the older binutils, then you should patch them like follows:
One more restriction we currently have with 256KB page sizes is inability
to use shmem safely, so, for now, the 256KB is available only if you turn
the CONFIG_SHMEM option off (another variant is to use BROKEN).
Though, if you need shmem with 256KB pages, you can always remove the !SHMEM
dependency in 'config PPC_256K_PAGES', and use the workaround available here:

This causes the watchdog platform_device to never be registered, and
therefore the driver not to be initialized.
This patch:
- updates the platform support code to use AT91SAM9X_WATCHDOG.
- includes <linux/io.h> to fix compile error (same fix as was applied

ext4: Implement range_cyclic in ext4_da_writepages instead of write_cache_pages
With delayed allocation we lock the page in write_cache_pages() and
try to build an in memory extent of contiguous blocks. This is needed
so that we can get large contiguous blocks request. If range_cyclic
mode is enabled, write_cache_pages() will loop back to the 0 index if
no I/O has been done yet, and try to start writing from the beginning
of the range. That causes an attempt to take the page lock of lower
index page while holding the page lock of higher index page, which can
cause a dead lock with another writeback thread.
The solution is to implement the range_cyclic behavior in
ext4_da_writepages() instead.
When creating a new ext4_prealloc_space structure, we have to
initialize its list_head pointers before we add them to any prealloc
lists. Otherwise, with list debug enabled, we will get list
corruption warnings.

linux-omap source commit 33d000c99ee393fe2042f93e8422f94976d276ce
introduces a way to "dry run" clock changes before they're committed.
However, this involves putting logic to handle this into each and
every recalc function, and unfortunately due to the caching, led to
some bugs.
Solve both of issues by making the recalc methods always return the
clock rate for the clock, which the caller decides what to do with.

[JFFS2] force the jffs2 GC daemon to behave a bit better
I've noticed some pretty poor behavior on OLPC machines after bootup, when
gdm/X are starting. The GCD monopolizes the scheduler (which in turns
means it gets to do more nand i/o), which results in processes taking much
much longer than they should to start.
As an example, on an OLPC machine going from OFW to a usable X (via
auto-login gdm) takes 2m 30s. The majority of this time is consumed by
the switch into graphical mode. With this patch, we cut a full 60s off of
bootup time. After bootup, things are much snappier as well.
Note that we have seen a CRC node error with this patch that causes the machine
to fail to boot, but we've also seen that problem without this patch.

I have a SuperMicro C2SBX motherboard with BIOS revision 1.0b. With vt-d
enabled in the BIOS, Linux gets into an endless loop printing
"DMAR:Unknown DMAR structure type" when booting. Here is the DMAR ACPI
table:
DMAR:Host address width 36
DMAR:RMRR base: 0x000000007fe8a000 end: 0x000000007fefffff
DMAR:Unknown DMAR structure type

DMAR:Unknown DMAR structure type

Although I not very familiar with ACPI, to me it looks like struct
acpi_dmar_header::length == 0x0058 is incorrect, causing
parse_dmar_table() to look at an invalid offset on the next loop. This
offset happens to have struct acpi_dmar_header::length == 0x0000, which
prevents the loop from ever terminating. This patch checks for this
condition and bails out instead of looping forever.
