The body of the mach-ixp4xx arch_idle() is mysteriously disabled by an #if 0 .. #endif. Normally one would expect to find a call to cpu_do_idle() there, but that call is disabled, even though cpu_do_idle() is implemented for XScale cores (and ixp4xx is one). The explanation can be found in the ixp42x developer's manual which states that the XScale core clock and power management registers aren't implemented on ixp42x [3.5.2.2]. Also, the disabled code has suffered from bit rot: - it checks hlt_counter which is obsolete, as that variable and all related code now is private to kernel/process.c - it passes too many parameters to cpu_do_idle() So this patch: - adds a comment before the #if 0 to explain why cpu_do_idle() mustn't be called on ixp4xx - removes the obsolete test of hlt_counter and the obsolete parameter to cpu_do_idle() This is purely a documentation fixup and changes no generated code. Even so, it has been tested on an ixp420 machine (ds101). Signed-off-by: Mikael Pettersson <mikpe@it.uu.se> Signed-off-by: Krzysztof Hałasa <khc@pm.waw.pl>

This patch does a few simple cleanups of the ixp4xx timer and clocksource/clockevent code in mach-ixp4xx/common.c: - ixp4xx_clocksource_init() is static and always returns 0, which is ignored by its only caller: make it return void - ixp4xx_clockevent_init(): ditto - ixp4xx_get_cycles() is only referenced locally: make it static - use the ixp4xx_timer_irq.dev_id field to pass &clockevent_ixp4xx to ixp4xx_timer_interrupt() via its dev_id parameter, allowing the code in ixp4xx_timer_interrupt() to be smaller and faster Tested on an ixp420 machine (ds101).

NFS may free the server structure without ever having used the bdi, so we either need to flag the bdi as being uninitialized or initialize it up front. This does the latter. This fixes a crash with mounting more than one NFS file system, should people ever need that kind of obscure NFS functionality.

Ingo Molnar authored
Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

This is in preparation of the big rename, but also makes sense in a standalone way: 'list_entry' is a bad name as we already have a list_entry() in list.h. Also, the 'counter list' is too vague, it doesnt tell us the purpose of that list. Clarify these names to show that it's all about the group hiearchy.

VGA arb requires DRM support for non-kms drivers, to turn on/off irqs when disabling the mem/io regions. VGA arb requires KMS support for GPUs where we can turn off VGA decoding. Currently we know how to do this for intel and radeon kms drivers, which allows them to be removed from the arbiter. This patch comes from Fedora rawhide kernel.

On an AMD-64 system the processor frequency that is printed during system boot, may be different than the tsc frequency that was returned by the hypervisor, due to the value returned from calibrate_cpu. For debugging timekeeping or other related issues it might be better to get the tsc_khz value returned by the hypervisor. The patch below now prints the tsc frequency that the VMware hypervisor returned.
