146ec944bb NFS: Move declaration of nfs_mount() to fs/nfs/internal.h
Clean up:  The nfs_mount() function is not to be used outside of the
NFS client.  Move its public declaration to fs/nfs/internal.h.

88a9fe8cae SUNRPC: Remove the last remnant of the BKL...
Somehow, this escaped the previous purge. There should be no need to keep
any extra locks in the XDR callbacks.

The NFS client XDR code only writes into private objects, whereas all reads
of shared objects are confined to fields that do not change, such as
filehandles...

Ditto for lockd, the NFSv2/v3 client mount code, and rpcbind.

The nfsd XDR code may require the BKL, but since it does a synchronous RPC
call from a thread that already holds the lock, that issue is moot.

8564557a03 video: sh_mobile_lcdcfb deferred io support
This patch adds sh_mobile_lcdcfb deferred io support for SYS panels.

The LCDC hardware block managed by the sh_mobile_lcdcfb driver supports
RGB or SYS panel configurations. SYS panels come with an external display
controller that is resposible for refreshing the actual LCD panel. RGB
panels are controlled directly by the LCDC and they need to be refreshed
by the LCDC hardware.

In the case of SYS panels we can save some power by configuring the LCDC
hardware block in one-shot mode. In this one-shot mode panel refresh is
managed by software. This works well together with deferred io since it
allows us to stop clocks for most of the time and only enable clocks when
we actually want to trigger an update. When there is no fbdev activity
the clocks are kept stopped which allows us to deep sleep.

The refresh rate in deferred io mode is set using platform data. The same
platform data can also be used to disable deferred io mode.

As with other deferred io frame buffers user space code should use fsync()
on the frame buffer device to trigger an update.

520eb82076 mac80211: implement dynamic power save
This patch implements dynamic power save for mac80211. Basically it
means enabling power save mode after an idle period. Implementing it
dynamically gives a good compromise of low power consumption and low
latency. Some hardware have support for this in firmware, but some
require the host to do it.

The dynamic power save is implemented by adding an timeout to
ieee80211_subif_start_xmit(). The timeout can be enabled from userspace
with Wireless Extensions. For example, the command below enables the
dynamic power save and sets the time timeout to 500 ms:

iwconfig wlan0 power timeout 500m

Power save now only works with devices which handle power save in firmware.
It's also disabled by default and the heuristics when and how to enable is
considered as a policy decision and will be left for the userspace to handle.
In case the firmware has support for this, drivers can disable this feature
with IEEE80211_HW_NO_STACK_DYNAMIC_PS.

Big thanks to Johannes Berg for the help with the design and code.

"OSPM will call the _PTS control method some time before entering a
sleeping state, to allow the platform's AML code to update this
memory image before entering the sleeping state. After the system
awakes from an S4 state, OSPM will restore this memory area and call
the _WAK control method to enable the BIOS to reclaim its memory
image."  For this reason, implement a mechanism allowing us to save
the NVS memory during hibernation and to restore it during the
subsequent resume.

100fdaee70 sched: add SD_BALANCE_NEWIDLE at MC and CPU level for sched_mc>0
Impact: change task balancing to save power more agressively

Add SD_BALANCE_NEWIDLE flag at MC level and CPU level
if sched_mc is set.  This helps power savings and
will not affect performance when sched_mc=0

Ingo and Mike Galbraith have optimised the SD flags by
removing SD_BALANCE_NEWIDLE at MC and CPU level.  This
helps performance but hurts power savings since this
slows down task consolidation by reducing the number
of times load_balance is run.

This patch selectively enables SD_BALANCE_NEWIDLE flag
only when sched_mc is set to 1 or 2.  This helps power savings
by task consolidation and also does not hurt performance at
sched_mc=0 where all power saving optimisations are turned off.

afb8a9b70b sched: framework for sched_mc/smt_power_savings=N
Impact: extend range of /sys/devices/system/cpu/sched_mc_power_savings

Currently the sched_mc/smt_power_savings variable is a boolean,
which either enables or disables topology based power savings.
This patch extends the behaviour of the variable from boolean to
multivalued, such that based on the value, we decide how
aggressively do we want to perform powersavings balance at
appropriate sched domain based on topology.

Variable levels of power saving tunable would benefit end user to
match the required level of power savings vs performance
trade-off depending on the system configuration and workloads.

This version makes the sched_mc_power_savings global variable to
take more values (0,1,2).  Later versions can have a single
tunable called sched_power_savings instead of
sched_{mc,smt}_power_savings.

Impact: cleanup

BALANCE_FOR_MC_POWER and similar macros defined in sched.h are
not constants and have various condition checks and significant
amount of code that is not suitable to be contain in a macro.
Also there could be side effects on the expressions passed to
some of them like test_sd_parent().

This patch converts all complex macros related to power savings
balance to inline functions.

e057d7aea9 cpumask: add sysfs displays for configured and disabled cpu maps
Impact: add new sysfs files.

Add sysfs files "kernel_max" and "offline" to display the max CPU index
allowed (NR_CPUS-1), and the map of cpus that are offline.

Cpus can be offlined via HOTPLUG, disabled by the BIOS ACPI tables, or
if they exceed the number of cpus allowed by the NR_CPUS config option,
or the "maxcpus=NUM" kernel start parameter.

The "possible_cpus=NUM" parameter can also extend the number of possible
cpus allowed, in which case the cpus not present at startup will be
in the offline state.  (These cpus can be HOTPLUGGED ON after system
startup [pending a follow-on patch to provide the capability via the
/sys/devices/sys/cpu/cpuN/online mechanism to bring them online.])

By design, the "offlined cpus > possible cpus" display will always
use the following formats:

  * all possible cpus online:   "x$"    or "x-y$"
  * some possible cpus offline: ".*,x$" or ".*,x-y$"

where:
  x == number of possible cpus (nr_cpu_ids); and
  y == number of cpus >= NR_CPUS or maxcpus (if y > x).

One use of this feature is for distros to select (or configure) the
appropriate kernel to install for the resident system.

Notes:
  * cpus offlined <= possible cpus will be printed for all architectures.
  * cpus offlined >  possible cpus will only be printed for arches that
  	set 'total_cpus' [X86 only in this patch].
