f3dfd2656d perfcounters: fix a few minor cleanliness issues
This fixes three issues noticed by Arnd Bergmann:

- Add #ifdef __KERNEL__ and move some things around in perf_counter.h
  to make sure only the bits that userspace needs are exported to
  userspace.

- Use __u64, __s64, __u32 types in the structs exported to userspace
  rather than u64, s64, u32.

- Make the sys_perf_counter_open syscall available to the SPUs on
  Cell platforms.

And one issue that I noticed in looking at the code again:

- Wrap the perf_counter_open syscall with SYSCALL_DEFINE4 so we get
  the proper handling of int arguments on ppc64 (and some other 64-bit
  architectures).

742bd95ba9 perfcounters/powerpc: Add support for POWER5 processors
This adds the back-end for the PMU on the POWER5 processor.  This knows
how to use the fixed-function PMC5 and PMC6 (instructions completed and
run cycles).  Unlike POWER6, PMC5/6 obey the freeze conditions and can
generate interrupts, so their use doesn't impose any extra restrictions.

POWER5+ is different and is not supported by this patch.

4ab0d47d0a gpu/drm, x86, PAT: io_mapping_create_wc and resource_size_t
io_mapping_create_wc should take a resource_size_t parameter in place of
unsigned long. With unsigned long, there will be no way to map greater than 4GB
address in i386/32 bit.

On x86, greater than 4GB addresses cannot be mapped on i386 without PAE. Return
error for such a case.

Patch also adds a structure for io_mapping, that saves the base, size and
type on HAVE_ATOMIC_IOMAP archs, that can be used to verify the offset on
io_mapping_map calls.

40823f737e x86: memtest: reuse test patterns when memtest parameter exceeds number of available patterns
Impact: fix unexpected behaviour when pattern number is out of range

Current implementation provides 4 patterns for memtest. The code doesn't
check whether the memtest parameter value exceeds the maximum pattern number.

Instead the memtest code pretends to test with non-existing patterns, e.g.
when booting with memtest=10 I've observed the following

  ...
  early_memtest: pattern num 10
  0000001000 - 0000006000 pattern 0
  ...
  0000001000 - 0000006000 pattern 1
  ...
  0000001000 - 0000006000 pattern 2
  ...
  0000001000 - 0000006000 pattern 3
  ...
  0000001000 - 0000006000 pattern 4
  ...
  0000001000 - 0000006000 pattern 5
  ...
  0000001000 - 0000006000 pattern 6
  ...
  0000001000 - 0000006000 pattern 7
  ...
  0000001000 - 0000006000 pattern 8
  ...
  0000001000 - 0000006000 pattern 9
  ...

But in fact Linux didn't test anything for patterns > 4 as the default
case in memtest() is to leave the function.

I suggest to use the memtest parameter as the number of tests to be
performed and to re-iterate over all existing patterns.

95108fa34a x86: usercopy: check for total size when deciding non-temporal cutoff
Impact: make more types of copies non-temporal

This change makes the following simple fix:

  30d697f: x86: fix performance regression in write() syscall

A bit more sophisticated: we check the 'total' number of bytes
written to decide whether to copy in a cached or a non-temporal
way.

This will for example cause the tail (modulo 4096 bytes) chunk
of a large write() to be non-temporal too - not just the page-sized
chunks.

3255aa2eb6 x86, mm: pass in 'total' to __copy_from_user_*nocache()
Impact: cleanup, enable future change

Add a 'total bytes copied' parameter to __copy_from_user_*nocache(),
and update all the callsites.

The parameter is not used yet - architecture code can use it to
more intelligently decide whether the copy should be cached or
non-temporal.

cd97f39b7c i2c-dev: Clarify the unit of ioctl I2C_TIMEOUT
The unit in which user-space can set the bus timeout value is jiffies
for historical reasons (back when HZ was always 100.) This is however
not good because user-space doesn't know how long a jiffy lasts. The
timeout value should instead be set in a fixed time unit. Given the
original value of HZ, this unit should be 10 ms, for compatibility.

native_usergs_sysret64 is described as

	extern void native_usergs_sysret64(void)

so lets add ENDPROC here

NEXT_PAGE already has 'balign' so no
need to keep this redundant one.

e73bf9f135 firedtv: dvb_frontend_info for FireDTV S2, fix "frequency limits undefined" error
I found that the function fdtv_frontend_init in the file firedtv-fe.c was
missing a case for FIREDTV_DVB_S2 which resulted in "frequency limits
undefined" errors in syslog.

Change by Stefan R: combine it with case case FIREDTV_DVB_S as
originally suggested by Beat Michel.  This enables FE_CAN_FEC_AUTO also
for FireDTV-S2 devices which is possible as long as only DVB-S channels
are used.  FE_CAN_FEC_AUTO would be wrong for DVB-S2 channels, but those
cannot be used yet since the driver is not yet converted to S2API.

30d697fa3a x86: fix performance regression in write() syscall
While the introduction of __copy_from_user_nocache (see commit:
0812a579c9) may have been an improvement
for sufficiently large writes, there is evidence to show that it is
deterimental for small writes.  Unixbench's fstime test gives the
following results for 256 byte writes with MAX_BLOCK of 2000:

    2.6.29-rc6 ( 5 samples, each in KB/sec ):
    283750, 295200, 294500, 293000, 293300

    2.6.29-rc6 + this patch (5 samples, each in KB/sec):
    313050, 3106750, 293350, 306300, 307900

    2.6.18
    395700, 342000, 399100, 366050, 359850

    See w_test() in src/fstime.c in unixbench version 4.1.0.  Basically, the above test
    consists of counting how much we can write in this manner:

    alarm(10);
    while (!sigalarm) {
            for (f_blocks = 0; f_blocks < 2000; ++f_blocks) {
                   write(f, buf, 256);
            }
            lseek(f, 0L, 0);
    }

Note, there are other components to the write syscall regression
that are not addressed here.
