Do for C3 what the previous patch did for C2.
The C2 patch was in response to a highly visible
and multiply reported C-state/turbo failure,
while this change has no bug report in-hand.
This will enable C3 in Linux on systems where BIOS
overstates C3 latency in _CST. It will also enable
future systems which may actually have C3 > 1000usec.
Linux has always ignored ACPI BIOS C3 with exit latency > 1000 usec,
and the ACPI spec is clear that is correct FADT-supplied C3.
However, the ACPI spec explicitly states that _CST-supplied C-states
have no latency limits.
So move the 1000usec C3 test out of the code shared
by FADT and _CST code-paths, and into the FADT-specific path.

This bug has not been visible until Nehalem, which advertises
a CPU-C2 worst case exit latency on servers of 205usec.
That (incorrect) figure is being used by BIOS writers
on mobile Nehalem systems for the AC configuration.
Thus, Linux ignores C2 leaving just C1, which is
saves less power, and also impacts performance
by preventing the use of turbo mode.

Commit 78f1699 (ACPI: processor: call _PDC early) blindly walks
the namespace and calls _PDC on every processor object it finds.
This change may cause issues on platforms that declare dummy
values for SSDTs on non-present processors (disabled in MADT).
When we call _PDC and dynamically attempt to execute the AML
Load() op on these dummy SSDTs, there's no telling what might
happen.
Rather than finding every platform that has bogus SSDTs, restrict
early _PDC calls to platforms that are known to need early
evaluation of _PDC.
This is a minimal, temporary fix (given the context of the
current release cycle). A real solution of checking the MADT for
non-present processors will be written for the next merge window.

The i_blocks field of an eCryptfs inode cannot be trusted, but
generic_fillattr() uses it to instantiate the blocks field of a stat()
syscall when a filesystem doesn't implement its own getattr(). Users
have noticed that the output of du is incorrect on newly created files.
This patch creates ecryptfs_getattr() which calls into the lower
filesystem's getattr() so that eCryptfs can use its kstat.blocks value
after calling generic_fillattr(). It is important to note that the
block count includes the eCryptfs metadata stored in the beginning of
the lower file plus any padding used to fill an extent before
encryption.

When truncating inodes in the lower filesystem, eCryptfs directly
invoked vmtruncate(). As Christoph Hellwig pointed out, vmtruncate() is
a filesystem helper function, but filesystems may need to do more than
just a call to vmtruncate().
This patch moves the lower inode truncation out of ecryptfs_truncate()
and renames the function to truncate_upper(). truncate_upper() updates
an iattr for the lower inode to indicate if the lower inode needs to be
truncated upon return. ecryptfs_setattr() then calls notify_change(),
using the updated iattr for the lower inode, to complete the truncation.
For eCryptfs functions needing to truncate, ecryptfs_truncate() is
reintroduced as a simple way to truncate the upper inode to a specified
size and then truncate the lower inode accordingly.

commit 541cd3ee00 ("phylib: Fix deadlock

PM: resume of devices complete after 237.098 msecs
Restarting tasks ... done.
kernel BUG at kernel/workqueue.c:354!
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000
[...]
Backtrace:

[<c00529e0>] (queue_delayed_work_on+0x0/0xf8) from [<c0052b30>] (queue_delayed_work+0x2c/0x30)
The oops pops up because TI DaVinci EMAC driver detaches PHY on
suspend and attaches it back on resume. Attaching makes phylib call
phy_start_machine() that initializes a workqueue. On the other hand,
PHY's resume routine will call phy_start_machine() again, and that
will cause the oops since we just destroyed the already scheduled
workqueue.
This patch fixes the issue by moving workqueue initialization to
phy_device_create().
p.s. We don't see this oops with ucc_geth and gianfar drivers because
they perform a fine-grained suspend, i.e. they just stop the PHYs
without detaching.

Hey all-
I was tinkering with dccp recently and noticed that I BUG halted the
kernel when I rmmod-ed the dccp module. The bug halt occured because the page
that I passed to kfree failed the PageCompound and PageSlab test in the slub
implementation of kfree. I tracked the problem down to the following set of
events:
1) dccp, unlike all other uses of kmem_cache_create, allocates a string
dynamically when registering a slab cache. This allocated string is freed when
the cache is destroyed.
2) Normally, (1) is not an issue, but when Slub is in use, it is possible that
caches are 'merged'. This process causes multiple caches of simmilar
configuration to use the same cache data structure. When this happens, the new
name of the cache is effectively dropped.
3) (2) results in kmem_cache_name returning an ambigous value (i.e.
ccid_kmem_cache_destroy, which uses this fuction to retrieve the name pointer
for freeing), is no longer guaranteed that the string it assigned is what is
returned.
4) If such merge event occurs, ccid_kmem_cache_destroy frees the wrong pointer,
which trips over the BUG in the slub implementation of kfree (since its likely
not a slab allocation, but rather a pointer into the static string table
section.
So, what to do about this. At first blush this is pretty clearly a leak in the
information that slub owns, and as such a slub bug. Unfortunately, theres no
really good way to fix it, without exposing slub specific implementation details
to the generic slab interface. Also, even if we could fix this in slub cleanly,
I think the RCU free option would force us to do lots of string duplication, not
only in slub, but in every slab allocator. As such, I'd like to propose this
solution. Basically, I just move the storage for the kmem cache name to the
ccid_operations structure. In so doing, we don't have to do the kstrdup or
kfree when we allocate/free the various caches for dccp, and so we avoid the
problem, by storing names with static memory, rather than heap, the way all
other calls to kmem_cache_create do.
I've tested this out myself here, and it solves the problem quite well.

While testing the pid rate controller in mac80211_hwsim, I noticed
that once the controller reached 54 Mbit rates, it would fail to
lower the rate when necessary. The debug log shows:
1945 186786 pf_sample 50 3534 3577 50
My interpretation is that the fixed point scaling of the target
error value (pf) is incorrect: the error value of 50 compared to
a target of 14 case should result in a scaling value of
(14-50) = -36 * 256 or -9216, but instead it is (14 * 256)-50, or
3534.
Correct this by doing fixed point scaling after subtraction.
