2009-08-12pata_at91: fix resource releaseTejun Heo
Julias Lawall discovered that pata_at91 wasn't freeing a memory region allocated with kzalloc() on init failure paths. Upon review, pata_at91 also seems to be doing unnecessary explicit resource releases for managed resources too. Convert memory allocation to managed one and drop unnecessary explicit resource releases.

2009-08-12x86: Fix oops in identify_cpu() on CPUs without CPUIDOndrej Zary
Kernel is broken for x86 CPUs without CPUID since 2.6.28. It crashes with NULL pointer dereference in identify_cpu(): 766 generic_identify(c); 767 768--> if (this_cpu->c_identify) 769 this_cpu->c_identify(c); this_cpu is NULL. This is because it's only initialized in get_cpu_vendor() function, which is not called if the CPU has no CPUID instruction.

2009-08-12xfs: switch to NOFS allocation under i_lock in xfs_buf_associate_memoryChristoph Hellwig
xfs_buf_associate_memory is used for setting up the spare buffer for the log wrap case in xlog_sync which can happen under i_lock when called from xfs_fsync. The i_lock mutex is taken in reclaim context so all allocations under it must avoid recursions into the filesystem. There are a couple more uses of xfs_buf_associate_memory in the log recovery code that are also affected by this, but I'd rather keep the code simple than passing on a gfp_mask argument. Longer term we should just stop requiring the memoery allocation in xlog_sync by some smaller rework of the buffer layer. Reported by the new reclaim context tracing in lockdep.

2009-08-11arch/ia64/Makefile: Remove -mtune=merced in IA64 kernel buildFenghua Yu
Between GCC version 3.4.0 and 4.3.3 (including 3.4.0 and 4.3.3), -mtune=merced is implemented in GCC. Starting from 4.4.0, -mtune=merced is deprecated. Even implemented in versions between 3.4.0 and 4.3.3, the -mtune=merced feature has been broken in some of the versions. For example, GCC 4.1.2 reports interanl tuning function errors during kernel building with -mtune=merced. Or GCC Bugzilla 16130 reports another -mtune=merced issue on GCC 3.4.1. So I would remove the -mtune=merced from IA64 kernel build. Without this option, kernel on Merced will remain the same except losing an unstable and out-of-date performance tunning feature. Since GCC version 3.4.0, -mtune=mckinley has been implemented. The -mtune=mckinley option functions the same as mtune=itanium2. And mtune=itanium2 is the default option. So we don't need to add mtune=mckinley either since its been the default option in any GCC version which implements this option. Signed-off-by: Fenghua Yu <fenghua.yu@intel.com>

Unfortunately, this resulted in some confusion and made some people try to convert drivers by replacing the old callbacks with struct dev_pm_ops in automatic way, which generally is not a good idea. Remove the platform device runtime dev_pm_ops warning for now, because it's annoying to users and it's not really necessary right now.

2009-08-10pty: fix data loss when stopped (^S/^Q)Linus Torvalds
Commit d945cb9cc ("pty: Rework the pty layer to use the normal buffering logic") dropped the test for 'tty->stopped' in pty_write_room(), which then causes the n_tty line discipline thing to not throttle the data properly when the tty is stopped. So instead of pausing the write due to the tty being stopped, the ldisc layer would go ahead and push it down to the pty. The pty write() routine would then refuse to take the data (because it _did_ check 'stopped'), and the data wouldn't actually be written. This whole stopped test should eventually be moved into the tty ldisc layer rather than have low-level tty drivers care about these things, but right now the fix is to just re-instate the missing pty 'stopped' handling.

In OCFS2, allocator locks rank above transaction start. Thus we cannot extend quota file from inside a transaction less we could deadlock. We solve the problem by starting transaction not already in ocfs2_acquire_dquot() but only in ocfs2_local_read_dquot() and ocfs2_global_read_dquot() and we allocate blocks to quota files before starting the transaction. In case we crash, quota files will just have a few blocks more but that's no problem since we just use them next time we extend the quota file.

2009-08-10x86: Fix serialization in pit_expect_msb()Linus Torvalds
Wei Chong Tan reported a fast-PIT-calibration corner-case: | pit_expect_msb() is vulnerable to SMI disturbance corner case | in some platforms which causes /proc/cpuinfo to show wrong | CPU MHz value when quick_pit_calibrate() jumps to success | section. I think that the real issue isn't even an SMI - but the fact that in the very last iteration of the loop, there's no serializing instruction _after_ the last 'rdtsc'. So even in the absense of SMI's, we do have a situation where the cycle counter was read without proper serialization. The last check should be done outside the outer loop, since _inside_ the outer loop, we'll be testing that the PIT has the right MSB value has the right value in the next iteration. So only the _last_ iteration is special, because that's the one that will not check the PIT MSB value any more, and because the final 'get_cycles()' isn't serialized. In other words: - I'd like to move the PIT MSB check to after the last iteration, rather than in every iteration - I think we should comment on the fact that it's also a serializing instruction and so 'fences in' the TSC read. Here's a suggested replacement.

clean up type-casting twice. "size_t" is typedef as "unsigned long" in 64-bit system, and "unsigned int" in 32-bit system, and the intermediate cast to 'long' is pointless. Signed-off-by: Figo.zhang <figo1802@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2009-08-10perf_counter: Zero dead bytes from ftrace raw samples size alignmentFrederic Weisbecker
After aligning the ftrace raw samples, there are dead bytes storing random data from the stack. We don't want to leak these to userspace, then zero these out.

2009-08-10perf_counter: Subtract the buffer size field from the event record sizeFrederic Weisbecker
We compute the perf raw sample size by aligning the raw ftrace event size plus the buffer size field itself. We do that instead of aligning only the perf raw sample size, so that we might economize some in some cases. But this buffer size field is not stored in the perf raw sample, we must then substract its size from the buffer once we computed the alignment unless we may get a useless u32 field in the buffer.
