2009-06-16lis3: add click functionDaniel Mack
The LIS302DL accelerometer chip has a 'click' feature which can be used to detect sudden motion on any of the three axis. Configuration data is passed via spi platform_data and no action is taken if that's not specified, so it won't harm any existing platform. To make the configuration effective, the IRQ lines need to be set up appropriately. This patch also adds a way to do that from board support code. The DD_* definitions were factored out to an own enum because they are specific to LIS3LV02D devices.

2009-06-16lis3: remove automatic shutdown of the deviceEric Piel
After measurement on my laptop, it seems that turning off the device does not bring any energy saving (within 0.1W precision). So let's keep the device always on. It simplifies the code, and it avoids the problem of reading a wrong value sometimes just after turning the device on. Moreover, since commit ef2cfc790bf5f0ff189b01eabc0f4feb5e8524df had been too zealous, the device was actually never turned off anyway. This patch also restores the damages done by this commit concerning the initialisation/poweroff. Also do more clean up with the usage of the lis3_dev global variable.

2009-06-16lib/genalloc.c: remove unmatched write_lock() in gen_pool_destroyZygo Blaxell
There is a call to write_lock() in gen_pool_destroy which is not balanced by any corresponding write_unlock(). This causes problems with preemption because the preemption-disable counter is incremented in the write_lock() call, but never decremented by any call to write_unlock(). This bug is gen_pool_destroy, and one of them is non-x86 arch-specific code.

2009-06-16console: make blank timeout value a boot optionDaniel Mack
The console blank timer is currently hardcoded to 10*60 seconds which might be annoying on systems with no input devices attached to wake up the console again. Especially during development, disabling the screen saver can be handy - for example when debugging the root fs mount mechanism or other scenarios where no userspace program could be started to do that at runtime from userspace. This patch defines a core_param for the variable in charge which allows users to entirely disable the blank feature at boot time by setting it 0. The value can still be overwritten at runtime using the standard ioctl call - this just allows to conditionally change the default.

2009-06-16slow-work: use round_jiffies() for thread pool's cull and OOM timersChris Peterson
Round the slow work queue's cull and OOM timeouts to whole second boundary with round_jiffies(). The slow work queue uses a pair of timers to cull idle threads and, after OOM, to delay new thread creation. This patch also extracts the mod_timer() logic for the cull timer into a separate helper function. By rounding non-time-critical timers such as these to whole seconds, they will be batched up to fire at the same time rather than being spread out. This allows the CPU wake up less, which saves power.

2009-06-16remove put_cpu_no_resched()Thomas Gleixner
put_cpu_no_resched() is an optimization of put_cpu() which unfortunately can cause high latencies. The nfs iostats code uses put_cpu_no_resched() in a code sequence where a reschedule request caused by an interrupt between the get_cpu() and the put_cpu_no_resched() can delay the reschedule for at least HZ. The other users of put_cpu_no_resched() optimize correctly in interrupt code, but there is no real harm in using the put_cpu() function which is an alias for preempt_enable(). The extra check of the preemmpt count is not as critical as the potential source of missing a reschedule. Debugged in the preempt-rt tree and verified in mainline.

2009-06-16poll: avoid extra wakeups in select/pollEric Dumazet
After introduction of keyed wakeups Davide Libenzi did on epoll, we are able to avoid spurious wakeups in poll()/select() code too. For example, typical use of poll()/select() is to wait for incoming network frames on many sockets. But TX completion for UDP/TCP frames call sock_wfree() which in turn schedules thread. When scheduled, thread does a full scan of all polled fds and can sleep again, because nothing is really available. If number of fds is large, this cause significant load. This patch makes select()/poll() aware of keyed wakeups and useless wakeups are avoided. This reduces number of context switches by about 50% on some setups, and work performed by sofirq handlers.
