1d37374197 [PATCH] toshiba_ohci1394_dmi_table should be __devinitdata, not __devinit
I don't really understand why gcc gives the error it does, but without
this patch, when building with CONFIG_HOTPLUG=n, I get errors like:

      CC      arch/x86_64/pci/../../i386/pci/fixup.o
    arch/x86_64/pci/../../i386/pci/fixup.c: In function `pci_fixup_i450nx':
    arch/x86_64/pci/../../i386/pci/fixup.c:13: error: pci_fixup_i450nx causes a section type conflict

The change is obviously correct: an array should be declared
__devinitdata rather that __devinit.

73ee723e4c [ARM] 3081/1: Remove GTWX5715 from ixp4xx_defconfig
Patch from Deepak Saxena

CONFIG_MACH_GTWX5715 hardcodes the machine type in head-xscale.S so we
can no longer boot on any other machine types. The proper fix would be
to remove the hardcoding, but that machine is an off-the-shelf system
and most users won't have access to the bootloader. :(

d01e8897fc [ARM] 3052/1: add ixp2000 microcode loader
Patch from Lennert Buytenhek

This patch adds a microcode loader for the ixp2000 architecture.

The ixp2000 is an xscale-based CPU with a number of additional small
CPUs ('microengines') on die that can be programmed to do various
things.  Depending on the ixp2000 model, there are between 2 and 16
microengines.

This code provides an API that allows configuring the microengines,
loading code into them, and starting and stopping them and reading
out a number of status registers, and is used by the microengine
network driver that was recently announced to netdev.

fadab0943d [ARM] 2948/1: new preemption safe copy_{to|from}_user implementation
Patch from Nicolas Pitre

This patch provides a preemption safe implementation of copy_to_user
and copy_from_user based on the copy template also used for memcpy.
It is enabled unconditionally when CONFIG_PREEMPT=y.  Otherwise if the
configured architecture is not ARMv3 then it is enabled as well as it
gives better performances at least on StrongARM and XScale cores.  If
ARMv3 is not too affected or if it doesn't matter too much then
uaccess.S could be removed altogether.

7549423000 [ARM] 2947/1: copy template with new memcpy/memmove
Patch from Nicolas Pitre

This patch provides a new implementation for optimized memory copy
functions on ARM.  It is made of two levels: a template that consists of
the core copy code and separate files that define macros to be used with
the core code depending on the type of copy needed. This allows for best
performances while sharing the same core for implementing memcpy(),
copy_from_user() and copy_to_user() for instance.

Two reasons for this work:

1) the current copy_to_user/copy_from_user implementation assumes no
   task switch will ever occur in the middle of each copied page making
   it completely unsafe with CONFIG_PREEMPT=y.

2) current copy implementations are measurably suboptimal and optimizing
   different implementations separately is a pain and more opportunities
   for bugs.

The reason for (1) is the fact that copy inside user pages are performed
with the ldm instruction which has no mean for testing user protections
and could possibly race with process preemption bypassing the COW mechanism
for example.  This is a longstanding issue that we said ought to be fixed
for about two years now.  The solution is to substitute those ldm insns
with a series of ldrt or strt insns to enforce user memory protection.
At least on StrongARM and XScale cores the ldm is not faster than the
equivalent ldr/str insns with a warm i-cache so there is no measurable
performance degradation with that change. The fact that the copy code is
a template makes it pretty easy to reuse the same core code as for memcpy
and benefit from the same performance optimizations.

Now (2) is best demonstrated with actual throughput measurements.
First, here is a summary of memcopy tests performed on a StrongARM core:

	PTR alignment	buffer size	kernel version	this version
	------------------------------------------------------------
	  aligned	     32		 59.73		107.43
	unaligned	     32		 61.31		 74.72
	  aligned	    100		132.47		136.15
	unaligned	    100	    	103.84		123.76
	  aligned	   4096		130.67		130.80
	unaligned	   4096	    	130.68		130.64
	  aligned	1048576		 68.03		68.18
	unaligned	1048576		 68.03		68.18

The buffer size is in bytes and the measured speed in MB/s.  The copy
was performed repeatedly with given buffer and throughput averaged over
3 seconds.

Here we can see that the current kernel version has a higher entry cost
that shows up with small buffers.  As buffer size grows both implementation
converge to the same throughput.

Now here's the exact same test performed on an XScale core (PXA255):

	PTR alignment	buffer size	kernel version	this version
	------------------------------------------------------------
	  aligned	     32		 46.99		 77.58
	unaligned	     32		 53.61		 59.59
	  aligned	    100		107.19		136.59
	unaligned	    100		 83.61		 97.58
	  aligned	   4096		129.13		129.98
	unaligned	   4096		128.36		128.53
	  aligned	1048576		 53.76		 59.41
	unaligned	1048576		 33.67		 56.96

Again we can see the entry setup cost being higher for the current kernel
before getting to the main copy loop.  Then throughput results converge
as long as the buffer remains in the cache. Then the 1MB case shows more
differences probably due to better pld placement and/or less instruction
interlocks in this proposed implementation.

Disclaimer: The PXA system was running with slower clocks than the
StrongARM system so trying to infer any conclusion by comparing those
separate sets of results side by side would be completely inappropriate.

So...  What this patch does is to replace both memcpy and memmove with
an implementation based on the provided copy code template.  The memmove
code is kept separate since it is used only if the memory areas involved
do overlap in which case the code is a transposition of the template but
with the copy occurring in the opposite direction (trying to fit that
mode into the template turned it into a mess not worth it for memmove
alone).  And obviously both memcpy and memmove were tested with all kinds
of pointer alignments and buffer sizes to exercise all code paths for
correctness.

The next patch will provide the now trivial replacement implementation
copy_to_user and copy_from_user.

When using XCB=101, writes to the same functional unit are still
guaranteed to complete in order, so we only need to protect against:
- reordering of writes to different functional units
- masking an interrupt and then reenabling the IRQ bit in CPSR

69a857610a [ARM] 3063/1: allow slave ixp2000 cpu reset
Patch from Lennert Buytenhek

On the ixdp2x00, the slave CPU is currently not allowed to reset itself
for fear that it will do something 'funky' on the PCI bus.  This fear is
ungrounded -- the slave CPU is wired up such that a CPU reset will not
cause a PCI bus reset to be done.  This patch changes arch_reset() so
that the slave CPU also executes the reset sequence, allowing it to
reboot itself using /sbin/reboot.

Patch from Lennert Buytenhek

The enp2611 version of the ixp2000 netdev driver needs to be able to

for this, as that will cause XCB=000 mappings to be done, which will
make the cpu susceptible to crashing on ixp2400 erratum #66.  Properly
aligned iotable mappings with MT_IXP2000_DEVICE will cause section
mappings with XCB=101 to be done, which is safe.

659603ef69 [PATCH] fix __writeback_single_inode WARN_ON
When the inode count is zero in inode writeback, the

	WARN_ON(!(inode->i_state & I_WILL_FREE));

is broken, and needs to test for either I_WILL_FREE|I_FREEING.

When the inode is in I_FREEING state, it's already out of the visibility
of the vm so it can't be freed so it doesn't require the __iget and the
generic_delete_inode path can call the sync internally to the lowlevel
fs callback during the last iput. So the inode being in I_FREEING is
also a valid condition for calling the sync with i_count == 0.

6b7d31fcdd [NETFILTER]: Add "revision" support to arp_tables and ip6_tables
Like ip_tables already has it for some time, this adds support for
having multiple revisions for each match/target.  We steal one byte from
the name in order to accomodate a 8 bit version number.

f2c84c0e84 [PATCH] i386: CONFIG_PC removal
CONFIG_PC is left-over cruft after the introduction of CONFIG_X86_PC with
the subarch split.  Remove it, and fixup the remaining users to depend on
CONFIG_X86_PC instead.

581c1b1439 [PATCH] noop-iosched: avoid corrupted request merging
Tejun Heo notes:

   "I'm currently debugging this.  The problem is that we are using the
    generic dispatch queue directly in the noop sched and merging is NOT
    allowed on dispatch queues but generic handling of last_merge tries
    to merge requests.  I'm still trying to verify this, so I'll be back
    with results soon."

In the meantime, disable merging for noop by setting REQ_NOMERGE in
elevator_noop_add_request().

Eventually, we should add a noop_list and do the dispatching like in the
other io schedulers.  Merging is still beneficial for noop (and it has
always done it).

Don't clear ->elevator_data on exit, if we are switching queues we are
overwriting the data of the new io scheduler.
