4ae7806f8b [ARM] pxa: Don't wind OSCR backwards over suspend/resume
OSCR is supposed to monotonically increment; however restoring it
to a time prior to OSMR0 may result in it being wound backwards.
Instead, if OSMR0 is within the minimum expiry time, wind OSMR0
forwards.

a88264c24c [ARM] pxa: remove periodic mode emulation support
Apparantly, the generic time subsystem can accurately emulate periodic
mode via the one-shot support code, so we don't need our own periodic
emulation code anymore.  Just ensure that we build support for one shot
into the generic time subsystem.

8f4d37ec07 sched: high-res preemption tick
Use HR-timers (when available) to deliver an accurate preemption tick.

The regular scheduler tick that runs at 1/HZ can be too coarse when nice
level are used. The fairness system will still keep the cpu utilisation 'fair'
by then delaying the task that got an excessive amount of CPU time but try to
minimize this by delivering preemption points spot-on.

The average frequency of this extra interrupt is sched_latency / nr_latency.
Which need not be higher than 1/HZ, its just that the distribution within the
sched_latency period is important.

86ef5c9a8e cpu-hotplug: replace lock_cpu_hotplug() with get_online_cpus()
Replace all lock_cpu_hotplug/unlock_cpu_hotplug from the kernel and use
get_online_cpus and put_online_cpus instead as it highlights the
refcount semantics in these operations.

The new API guarantees protection against the cpu-hotplug operation, but
it doesn't guarantee serialized access to any of the local data
structures. Hence the changes needs to be reviewed.

In case of pseries_add_processor/pseries_remove_processor, use
cpu_maps_update_begin()/cpu_maps_update_done() as we're modifying the
cpu_present_map there.

> I noticed a small glitch that's not fixed by this patch:  the

Fix it by setting the initial type (and handler) to low level,
matching the meaning of IRQ_TYPE_NONE.

13b54a5052 [AVR32] Enable debugging only when needed
Keep track of processes being debugged (including the kernel itself)
and turn the OCD system on and off as appropriate. Since enabling
debugging turns off some optimizations in the CPU core, this fixes the
issue that enabling KProbes support or simply running a program under
gdbserver will reduce system performance significantly until the next
reboot.

The CPU performance will still be reduced for all processes while a
process is being debugged, but this is a lot better than reducing the
performance forever.

52840bd628 Kobject: the cris iop_fw_load.c code is broken
This code is really really really broken.  So much so that it's almost
impossible to fix with a simple patch, so just comment out the offending
registration with the kobject core, and mark the driver as broken.

The problem is that the code is trying to register a "raw" struct
device, which is not allowed.  struct device is only for use within the
driver model.  This is being done to try to use the firmware layer which
wants a struct device.  To properly fix this, use something easy, like a
platform device, which is a struct device and can be used for this kind
of thing.

775b64d2b6 PM: Acquire device locks on suspend
This patch reorganizes the way suspend and resume notifications are
sent to drivers.  The major changes are that now the PM core acquires
every device semaphore before calling the methods, and calls to
device_add() during suspends will fail, while calls to device_del()
during suspends will block.

It also provides a way to safely remove a suspended device with the
help of the PM core, by using the device_pm_schedule_removal() callback
introduced specifically for this purpose, and updates two drivers (msr
and cpuid) that need to use it.
