76bc080ef5 [POWERPC] Make default cputable entries reflect selected CPU family
Changes the cputable so that various CPU families that have an exclusive
CONFIG_ option have a more sensible default entry to use if the specific
processor hasn't been identified.

This makes the kernel more generally useful when booted on an unknown
PVR for things like new 4xx variants.

f7c83a0aaa Fix drivers/media build for modular builds
Fix allmodconfig build bug introduced in latest -git by commit
7c91f0624a ("V4L/DVB(7767): Move tuners to common/tuners"):

  LD      kernel/built-in.o
  LD      drivers/built-in.o
  ld: drivers/media/built-in.o: No such file: No such file or directory

which happens if all media drivers are modular:

  http://redhat.com/~mingo/misc/config-Wed_Apr_30_09_24_48_CEST_2008.bad

In that case there's no obj-y rule connecting all the built-in.o files and
the link tree breaks.

The fix is to add a guaranteed obj-y rule for the core vmlinux to build.
(which results in an empty object file if all media drivers are modular)

5be7a4792a Fix cpuset sched_relax_domain_level control file
Due to a merge conflict, the sched_relax_domain_level control file was marked
as being handled by cpuset_read/write_u64, but the code to handle it was
actually in cpuset_common_file_read/write.

Since the value being written/read is in fact a signed integer, it should be
treated as such; this patch adds cpuset_read/write_s64 functions, and uses
them to handle the sched_relax_domain_level file.

With this patch, the sched_relax_domain_level can be read and written, and the
correct contents seen/updated.

c1236d31a1 vt: fix canonical input in UTF-8 mode
For e.g.  proper TTY canonical support, IUTF8 termios flag has to be set as

This patch fixes that by activating it according to the current mode of the
VT, and sets the default value according to the vt.default_utf8 parameter.

dc38e2ad53 [ARM] pxa: Fix RCSR handling
Related to d3930614e6.

RCSR is only present on PXA2xx CPUs, not on PXA3xx CPUs.  Therefore,
we should not be unconditionally writing to RCSR from generic code.

Since we now clear the RCSR status from the SoC specific PXA PM code
and before reset in the arch_reset() function, the duplication in
the corgi, poodle, spitz and tosa code can be removed.

|     Generic semaphore implementation
|
| After I manually reverted the patch against 2.6.26-rc1 while fixing
| lots of conflicts/errors, aim7 regression became less than 2%.

i reproduced the AIM7 workload and can confirm Yanmin's findings that
-.26-rc1 regresses over .25 - by over 67% here.

Looking at the workload i found and fixed what i believe to be the real
bug causing the AIM7 regression: it was inefficient wakeup / scheduling
/ locking behavior of the new generic semaphore code, causing suboptimal
performance.

The problem comes from the following code. The new semaphore code does
this on down():

        spin_lock_irqsave(&sem->lock, flags);
        if (likely(sem->count > 0))
                sem->count--;
        else
                __down(sem);
        spin_unlock_irqrestore(&sem->lock, flags);

and this on up():

        spin_lock_irqsave(&sem->lock, flags);
        if (likely(list_empty(&sem->wait_list)))
                sem->count++;
        else
                __up(sem);
        spin_unlock_irqrestore(&sem->lock, flags);

where __up() does:

        list_del(&waiter->list);
        waiter->up = 1;
        wake_up_process(waiter->task);

and where __down() does this in essence:

        list_add_tail(&waiter.list, &sem->wait_list);
        waiter.task = task;
        waiter.up = 0;
        for (;;) {
                [...]
                spin_unlock_irq(&sem->lock);
                timeout = schedule_timeout(timeout);
                spin_lock_irq(&sem->lock);
                if (waiter.up)
                        return 0;
        }

the fastpath looks good and obvious, but note the following property of
the contended path: if there's a task on the ->wait_list, the up() of
the current owner will "pass over" ownership to that waiting task, in a
wake-one manner, via the waiter->up flag and by removing the waiter from
the wait list.

That is all and fine in principle, but as implemented in
kernel/semaphore.c it also creates a nasty, hidden source of contention!

The contention comes from the following property of the new semaphore
code: the new owner owns the semaphore exclusively, even if it is not
running yet.

So if the old owner, even if just a few instructions later, does a
down() [lock_kernel()] again, it will be blocked and will have to wait
on the new owner to eventually be scheduled (possibly on another CPU)!
Or if another task gets to lock_kernel() sooner than the "new owner"
scheduled, it will be blocked unnecessarily and for a very long time
when there are 2000 tasks running.

I.e. the implementation of the new semaphores code does wake-one and
lock ownership in a very restrictive way - it does not allow
opportunistic re-locking of the lock at all and keeps the scheduler from
picking task order intelligently.

This kind of scheduling, with 2000 AIM7 processes running, creates awful
cross-scheduling between those 2000 tasks, causes reduced parallelism, a
throttled runqueue length and a lot of idle time. With increasing number
of CPUs it causes an exponentially worse behavior in AIM7, as the chance
for a newly woken new-owner task to actually run anytime soon is less
and less likely.

Note that it takes just a tiny bit of contention for the 'new-semaphore
catastrophy' to happen: the wakeup latencies get added to whatever small
contention there is, and quickly snowball out of control!

I believe Yanmin's findings and numbers support this analysis too.

The best fix for this problem is to use the same scheduling logic that
the kernel/mutex.c code uses: keep the wake-one behavior (that is OK and
wanted because we do not want to over-schedule), but also allow
opportunistic locking of the lock even if a wakee is already "in
flight".

The patch below implements this new logic. With this patch applied the
AIM7 regression is largely fixed on my quad testbox:

  # v2.6.25 vanilla:
  ..................
  Tasks   Jobs/Min        JTI     Real    CPU     Jobs/sec/task
  2000    56096.4         91      207.5   789.7   0.4675
  2000    55894.4         94      208.2   792.7   0.4658

  # v2.6.26-rc1-166-gc0a1811 vanilla:
  ...................................
  Tasks   Jobs/Min        JTI     Real    CPU     Jobs/sec/task
  2000    33230.6         83      350.3   784.5   0.2769
  2000    31778.1         86      366.3   783.6   0.2648

  # v2.6.26-rc1-166-gc0a1811 + semaphore-speedup:
  ...............................................
  Tasks   Jobs/Min        JTI     Real    CPU     Jobs/sec/task
  2000    55707.1         92      209.0   795.6   0.4642
  2000    55704.4         96      209.0   796.0   0.4642

i.e. a 67% speedup. We are now back to within 1% of the v2.6.25
performance levels and have zero idle time during the test, as expected.

Btw., interactivity also improved dramatically with the fix - for
example console-switching became almost instantaneous during this
workload (which after all is running 2000 tasks at once!), without the
patch it was stuck for a minute at times.

There's another nice side-effect of this speedup patch, the new generic
semaphore code got even smaller:

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
   1241       0       0    1241     4d9 semaphore.o.before
   1207       0       0    1207     4b7 semaphore.o.after

(because the waiter.up complication got removed.)

Longer-term we should look into using the mutex code for the generic
semaphore code as well - but i's not easy due to legacies and it's
outside of the scope of v2.6.26 and outside the scope of this patch as
well.

8d4a430085 x86: cleanup PAT cpu validation
Move the scattered checks for PAT support to a single function. Its
moved to addon_cpuid_features.c as this file is shared between 32 and
64 bit.

Remove the manipulation of the PAT feature bit and just disable PAT in
the PAT layer, based on the PAT bit provided by the CPU and the
current CPU version/model white list.

Change the boot CPU check so it works on Voyager somewhere in the
future as well :) Also panic, when a secondary has PAT disabled but
the primary one has alrady switched to PAT. We have no way to undo
that.

The white list is kept for now to ensure that we can rely on known to
work CPU types and concentrate on the software induced problems
instead of fighthing CPU erratas and subtle wreckage caused by not yet
verified CPUs. Once the PAT code has stabilized enough, we can remove
the white list and open the can of worms.

e3a2efa67a [ALSA] soc at91 minor bug fixes
Found these two bugs while browsing through the code.  The first one is
a cut-n-paste bug, instead of disabling the clock when request_irq()
fails, it enabled it once more.  The second one fixes a debug printout,
AT91_SSC_IER is write only, AT91_SSC_IMR is readable (the printed string
actually says imr).

Frank Mandarino was busy so he asked me to send these to this list.
