068281d302 block: fix partial read() of /proc/{partitions,diskstats}
The proc files get truncated if they do not fit into the buffer with
a single read(). We need to move the seq_file index from the callback
of class_find_device() to the caller of class_find_device(), to keep
its value across multiple invocations of the callback.

f5a6d958b5 PM: Remove WARN_ON from device_pm_add
PM: Remove WARN_ON from device_pm_add

Fix message in device_pm_add() saying that the device will not be
added to dpm_list, although in fact the device is going to be added
to the list regardless of the ordering violation.

Remove the WARN_ON(true) triggered in that situation, because it is
hit by USB very often and spams the users' logs.

This patch fixes bug #11263

3b98aeaf3a PM: don't skip device PM init when CONFIG_PM_SLEEP isn't set and CONFIG_PM is set
This patch (as1124) fixes a couple of bugs in the PM core.  The new
dev->power.status field should be initialized regardless of whether
CONFIG_PM_SLEEP is enabled, and similarly dpm_sysfs_add() should be
called whenever CONFIG_PM is enabled.

The patch separates out the call to dpm_sysfs_add() from the call to
device_pm_add().  As a result device_pm_add() can no longer return an
error, so its return type is changed to void.

275a89bdd3 rcu: use irq-safe locks
Some earlier tip/core/rcu patches caused RCU to incorrectly enable irqs
too early in boot.  This caused Yinghai's repeated-kexec testing to
hit oopses, presumably due to so that device interrupts left over from
the prior kernel instance (which would oops the newly booting kernel
before it got a chance to reset said devices).  This patch therefore
converts all the local_irq_disable()s in rcuclassic.c to local_irq_save().

Besides, I never did like local_irq_disable() anyway.  ;-)

168d2f464a xen: save previous spinlock when blocking
A spinlock can be interrupted while spinning, so make sure we preserve
the previous lock of interest if we're taking a lock from within an
interrupt handler.

We also need to deal with the case where the blocking path gets
interrupted between testing to see if the lock is free and actually
blocking.  If we get interrupted there and end up in the state where
the lock is free but the irq isn't pending, then we'll block
indefinitely in the hypervisor.  This fix is to make sure that any
nested lock-takers will always leave the irq pending if there's any
chance the outer lock became free.

e621bd1895 i386: vmalloc size fix
Booting kernel with vmalloc=[any size<=16m] will oops on my pc (i386/1G memory).

BUG_ON in arch/x86/mm/init_32.c triggered:
BUG_ON((unsigned long)high_memory > VMALLOC_START);

It's due to the vm area hole.

In include/asm-x86/pgtable_32.h:
#define VMALLOC_OFFSET	(8 * 1024 * 1024)
#define VMALLOC_START	(((unsigned long)high_memory + 2 * VMALLOC_OFFSET - 1) \
			 & ~(VMALLOC_OFFSET - 1))

There's several related point:
1. MAXMEM :
 (-__PAGE_OFFSET - __VMALLOC_RESERVE).
The space after VMALLOC_END is included as well, I set it to
(VMALLOC_END - PAGE_OFFSET - __VMALLOC_RESERVE)

2. VMALLOC_OFFSET is not considered in __VMALLOC_RESERVE
fixed by adding VMALLOC_OFFSET to it.

3. VMALLOC_START :
 (((unsigned long)high_memory + 2 * VMALLOC_OFFSET - 1) & ~(VMALLOC_OFFSET - 1))
So it's not always 8M, bigger than 8M possible.
I set it to ((unsigned long)high_memory + VMALLOC_OFFSET)

4. the VMALLOC_RESERVE is an unused macro, so remove it here.

3c4fbe5e01 nohz: fix wrong event handler after online an offlined cpu
On the tickless system(CONFIG_NO_HZ=y and CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS=n), after
I made an offlined cpu online, I found this cpu's event handler was
tick_handle_periodic, not tick_nohz_handler.

After debuging, I found this bug was caused by the wrong tick mode.  the
tick mode is not changed to NOHZ_MODE_INACTIVE when the cpu is offline.

This patch fixes this bug.

2d42244ae7 clocksource: introduce CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW
In talking with Josip Loncaric, and his work on clock synchronization (see
btime.sf.net), he mentioned that for really close synchronization, it is
useful to have access to "hardware time", that is a notion of time that is
not in any way adjusted by the clock slewing done to keep close time sync.

Part of the issue is if we are using the kernel's ntp adjusted
representation of time in order to measure how we should correct time, we
can run into what Paul McKenney aptly described as "Painting a road using
the lines we're painting as the guide".

I had been thinking of a similar problem, and was trying to come up with a
way to give users access to a purely hardware based time representation
that avoided users having to know the underlying frequency and mask values
needed to deal with the wide variety of possible underlying hardware
counters.

My solution is to introduce CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW.  This exposes a
nanosecond based time value, that increments starting at bootup and has no
frequency adjustments made to it what so ever.

The time is accessed from userspace via the posix_clock_gettime() syscall,
passing CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW as the clock_id.

9a055117d3 clocksource: introduce clocksource_forward_now()
To keep the raw monotonic patch simple first introduce
clocksource_forward_now(), which takes care of the offset since the last
update_wall_time() call and adds it to the clock, so there is no need
anymore to deal with it explicitly at various places, which need to make
significant changes to the clock.

This is also gets rid of the timekeeping_suspend_nsecs, instead of
waiting until resume, the value is accumulated during suspend. In the end
there is only a single user of __get_nsec_offset() left, so I integrated
it back to getnstimeofday().

1aa5dfb751 clocksource: keep track of original clocksource frequency
The clocksource frequency is represented by
clocksource->mult/2^(clocksource->shift).  Currently, when NTP makes
adjustments to the clock frequency, they are made directly to the mult
value.

This has the drawback that once changed, we cannot know what the orignal
mult value was, or how much adjustment has been applied.

This property causes problems in calculating proper ntp intervals when
switching back and forth between clocksources.

This patch separates the current mult value into a mult and mult_orig
pair.  The mult_orig value stays constant, while the ntp clocksource
adjustments are done only to the mult value.

This allows for correct ntp interval calculation and additionally lays the
groundwork for a new notion of time, what I'm calling the monotonic-raw
time, which is introduced in a following patch.
