bf5192edcb drm: select FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE_PRIMARY if we have FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE
Multi-gpu/switcheroo relies on this option to get the console on the
correct GPU at bootup, some distros enable it but it seems some get
it wrong.

cdda911c34 Input: evdev - only signal polls on full packets
This patch modifies evdev so that it only becomes readable when
the buffer contains an EV_SYN/SYN_REPORT event.

On SMP systems, it is possible for an evdev client blocked on poll()
to wake up and read events from the evdev ring buffer at the same
rate as they are enqueued.  This can result in high CPU usage,
particularly for MT devices, because the client ends up reading
events one at a time instead of reading complete packets.

We eliminate this problem by making the device readable only when
the buffer contains at least one complete packet.  This causes
clients to block until the entire packet is available.

44ae3ab335 powerpc: Free up some CPU feature bits by moving out MMU-related features
Some of the 64bit PPC CPU features are MMU-related, so this patch moves
them to MMU_FTR_ bits.  All cpu_has_feature()-style tests are moved to
mmu_has_feature(), and seven feature bits are freed as a result.

eca590f402 powerpc/rtas: Only sleep in rtas_busy_delay if we have useful work to do
RTAS returns extended error codes as a hint of how long the
OS might want to wait before retrying a call. If we have nothing
else useful to do we may as well call back straight away.

This was found when testing the new dynamic dma window feature.
Firmware split the zeroing of the TCE table into 32k chunks but
returned 9901 (which is a suggested wait of 10ms). All up this took
about 10 minutes to complete since msleep is jiffies based and will
round 10ms up to 20ms.

With the patch below we take 3 seconds to complete the same test.
The hint firmware is returning in the RTAS call should definitely
be decreased, but even if we slept 1ms each iteration this would
take 32s.

b91e136cdf powerpc: Use MSR_64BIT in sstep.c, fix kprobes on BOOK3E
We check MSR_SF a lot in sstep.c, to decide if we need to emulate the
truncation of values when running in 32-bit mode. Factor out that code
into a helper, and convert it and the other uses to use MSR_64BIT.

This fixes a bug on BOOK3E where kprobes would end up returning to a
32-bit address, because regs->nip was truncated, because (msr & MSR_SF)
was false.

efcac6589a powerpc: Per process DSCR + some fixes (try#4)
The DSCR (aka Data Stream Control Register) is supported on some
server PowerPC chips and allow some control over the prefetch
of data streams.

This patch allows the value to be specified per thread by emulating
the corresponding mfspr and mtspr instructions. Children of such
threads inherit the value. Other threads use a default value that
can be specified in sysfs - /sys/devices/system/cpu/dscr_default.

If a thread starts with non default value in the sysfs entry,
all children threads inherit this non default value even if
the sysfs value is changed later.

f0aae3238f powerpc/book3e: Flush IPROT protected TLB entries leftover by firmware
When we set up the TLB for ourselves on Book3E, we need to flush out any
old mappings established by the firmware or bootloader.  At present we
attempt this with a tlbilx to flush everything, but this will leave behind
any entries with the IPROT bit set.

There are several good reason firmware might establish mappings with IPROT,
and in fact ePAPR compliant firmwares are required to establish their
initial mapped area with IPROT.

This patch, therefore adds more complex code to scan through the TLB upon
entry and flush away any entries that are not our own.

ca1769f7a3 powerpc: Index crit/dbg/mcheck stacks using cpu number on 64bit
In exc_lvl_ctx_init() we index into the crit/dbg/mcheck stacks using
the hard cpu id, but that assumes the hard cpu id is zero based and
contiguous. That is not the case on A2.

The root of the problem is that the 32bit code has no equivalent of the
paca to allow it to do the hard->soft mapping in assembler. Until the
32bit code is updated to handle that, index the stacks using the soft
cpu ids on 64bit and hard on 32 bit.

9a7adcf5c6 timers: Posix interface for alarm-timers
This patch exposes alarm-timers to userland via the posix clock
and timers interface, using two new clockids: CLOCK_REALTIME_ALARM
and CLOCK_BOOTTIME_ALARM. Both clockids behave identically to
CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_BOOTTIME, respectively, but timers
set against the _ALARM suffixed clockids will wake the system if
it is suspended.

Some background can be found here:
	https://lwn.net/Articles/429925/

The concept for Alarm-timers was inspired by the Android Alarm
driver (by Arve Hjønnevåg) found in the Android kernel tree.

See: http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=kernel/common.git;a=blob;f=drivers/rtc/alarm.c;h=1250edfbdf3302f5e4ea6194847c6ef4bb7beb1c;hb=android-2.6.36

While the in-kernel interface is pretty similar between
alarm-timers and Android alarm driver, the user-space interface
for the Android alarm driver is via ioctls to a new char device.
As mentioned above, I've instead chosen to export this functionality
via the posix interface, as it seemed a little simpler and avoids
creating duplicate interfaces to things like CLOCK_REALTIME and
CLOCK_MONOTONIC under alternate names (ie:ANDROID_ALARM_RTC and
ANDROID_ALARM_SYSTEMTIME).

The semantics of the Android alarm driver are different from what
this posix interface provides. For instance, threads other then
the thread waiting on the Android alarm driver are able to modify
the alarm being waited on. Also this interface does not allow
the same wakelock semantics that the Android driver provides
(ie: kernel takes a wakelock on RTC alarm-interupt, and holds it
through process wakeup, and while the process runs, until the
process either closes the char device or calls back in to wait
on a new alarm).

One potential way to implement similar semantics may be via
the timerfd infrastructure, but this needs more research.

There may also need to be some sort of sysfs system level policy
hooks that allow alarm timers to be disabled to keep them
from firing at inappropriate times (ie: laptop in a well insulated
bag, mid-flight).

ff3ead96d1 timers: Introduce in-kernel alarm-timer interface
This provides the in kernel interface and infrastructure for
alarm-timers.

Alarm-timers are a hybrid style timer, similar to hrtimers,
but when the system is suspended, the RTC device is set to
fire and wake the system for when the soonest alarm-timer
expires.

The concept for Alarm-timers was inspired by the Android Alarm
driver (by Arve Hjønnevåg) found in the Android kernel tree.

See: http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=kernel/common.git;a=blob;f=drivers/rtc/alarm.c;h=1250edfbdf3302f5e4ea6194847c6ef4bb7beb1c;hb=android-2.6.36

This in-kernel interface should be fairly compatible with the
Android alarm driver in-kernel interface, but has the advantage
of utilizing the new RTC timerqueue code instead of doing direct
RTC manipulation.

88d19cf379 timers: Add rb_init_node() to allow for stack allocated rb nodes
In cases where a timerqueue_node or some structure that utilizes
a timerqueue_node is allocated on the stack, gcc would give warnings
caused by the timerqueue_init()'s calling RB_CLEAR_NODE, which
self-references the nodes uninitialized data.

The solution is to create an rb_init_node() function that zeros
the rb_node structure out and then calls RB_CLEAR_NODE(), and
then call the new init function from timerqueue_init().

304529b1b6 time: Add timekeeping_inject_sleeptime
Some platforms cannot implement read_persistent_clock, as
their RTC devices are only accessible when interrupts are enabled.
This keeps them from being used by the timekeeping code on resume
to measure the time in suspend.

The RTC layer tries to work around this, by calling do_settimeofday
on resume after irqs are reenabled to set the time properly. However,
this only corrects CLOCK_REALTIME, and does not properly adjust
the sleep time value. This causes btime in /proc/stat to be incorrect
as well as making the new CLOCK_BOTTTIME inaccurate.

This patch resolves the issue by introducing a new timekeeping hook
to allow the RTC layer to inject the sleep time on resume.

The code also checks to make sure that read_persistent_clock is
nonfunctional before setting the sleep time, so that should the RTC's
HCTOSYS option be configured in on a system that does support
read_persistent_clock we will not increase the total_sleep_time twice.

013c3ca184 xen/blkback: Stick REQ_SYNC on WRITEs to deal with CFQ I/O scheduler.
If one runs a simple fio request with random read/write with a
20%/80% ratio, the numbers are incredibly bad when using the CFQ scheduler.

IOmeter       |       |      |          |
64K, randrw   |  NOOP | CFQ  | deadline |
randrwmix=80  |       |      |          |
--------------+-------+------+----------+
blkback       |103/27 |32/10 | 102/27   |
--------------+-------+------+----------+
QEMU qdisk    |103/27 |102/27| 102/27   |

The problem as explained by Vivek Goyal was:

".. that difference is that sync vs async requests. In the case of
a kernel thread submitting IO, [..] all the WRITES might be being
considered as async and will go in a different queue. If you mix those
with some READS, they are always sync and will go in differnet queue.
In presence of sync queue, CFQ will idle and choke up WRITES in
an attempt to improve latencies of READs.

In case of AIO [note: this is what QEMU qdisk is doing] , [..]
it is direct IO and both READS and WRITES will be considered SYNC
and will go in a single queue and no choking of WRITES will take place."

The solution is quite simple, tack on REQ_SYNC (which is
what the WRITE_ODIRECT macro points to) and the numbers go
back up.

c989bb15e9 cfg80211: fix regresion on reg user timeout
The patch "cfg80211: add a timer for invalid user reg hints"
introduced a regression for the case where a secondary identical
regulatory hint from a user is sent. What would happen is the
second hint would schedule delayed work in to catch a timeout
but since we are never processing it given that the hint was already
applied we'd always hit the timeout and and restore regulatory
settings back to world regulatory domain. This is fixed by simply
avoiding sheduling work if the hint was already applied.
