      x86/mm/pat: Revert 'Adjust default caching mode translation tables' · 1a4e8795
      Thomas Gleixner authored
      Toshi explains:
      
      "No, the default values need to be set to the fallback types,
       i.e. minimal supported mode.  For WC and WT, UC is the fallback type.
      
       When PAT is disabled, pat_init() does update the tables below to
       enable WT per the default BIOS setup.  However, when PAT is enabled,
       but CPU has PAT -errata, WT falls back to UC per the default values."

      The CQM task events are not safe to be called from within interrupt
      context because they require performing an IPI to read the counter value
      on all sockets. And performing IPIs from within IRQ context is a
      "no-no".
      
      Make do with the last read counter value currently event in
      event->count when we're invoked in this context.

      staging: lustre: Replace strtoul with simple_strtoul · 4ad2adc9
      Guenter Roeck authored
      Defining and using strtoul in lustre code results in the following
      compile warnings (arm64:allmodconfig).
      
      include/linux/libcfs/libcfs_string.h:105:0: warning: "strtoul" redefined
      	#define strtoul(str, endp, base) simple_strtoul(str, endp, base)
      include/acpi/platform/aclinux.h:122:0: note:
      		this is the location of the previous definition
      	#define strtoul	simple_strtoul
      
      Remove the definition and use simple_strtoul() directly. Note that we
      can not replace simple_strtoul with kstrtoul since the end pointer
      is used by the code.

      Staging: most: add MOST driver's core module · 57562a72
      Christian Gromm authored
      This patch adds the core module of the MOST driver to the kernel's driver
      staging area. This module is part of the MOST driver and handles the
      configuration interface in sysfs, the buffer management and the data
      routing.
      
      MOST defines the protocol, hardware and software layers necessary to allow
      for the efficient and low-cost transport of control, real-time and packet
      data using a single medium (physical layer). Media currently in use are
      fiber optics, unshielded twisted pair cables (UTP) and coax cables. MOST
      also supports various speed grades up to 150 Mbps.
      For more information on MOST, visit the MOST Cooperation website:
      www.mostcooperation.com.
      
      Cars continue to evolve into sophisticated consumer electronics platforms,
      increasing the demand for reliable and simple solutions to support audio,
      video and data communications. MOST can be used to connect multiple
      consumer devices via optical or electrical physical layers directly to one
      another or in a network configuration. As a synchronous network, MOST
      provides excellent Quality of Service and seamless connectivity for
      audio/video streaming. Therefore, the driver perfectly fits to the mission
      of Automotive Grade Linux to create open source software solutions for
      automotive applications.
      
      The driver consists basically of three layers. The hardware layer, the
      core layer and the application layer. The core layer consists of the core
      module only. This module handles the communication flow through all three
      layers, the configuration of the driver, the configuration interface
      representation in sysfs, and the buffer management.
      For each of the other two layers a selection of modules is provided. These
      modules can arbitrarily be combined to meet the needs of the desired
      system architecture. A module of the hardware layer is referred to as an
      HDM (hardware dependent module). Each module of this layer handles exactly
      one of the peripheral interfaces of a network interface controller (e.g.
      USB, MediaLB, I2C). A module of the application layer is referred to as an
      AIM (application interfacing module). The modules of this layer give access
      to MOST via one the following ways: character devices, ALSA, Networking or
      V4L2.
      
      To physically access MOST, an Intelligent Network Interface Controller
      (INIC) is needed. For more information on available controllers visit:

      staging: unisys: visornic - prevent NETDEV WATCHDOG timeouts after IO recovery · db849927
      Tim Sell authored
      After IO partition recovery, it was possible to get into a situation where
      a visornic device would repeatedly report:
      
          NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0 (): transmit queue 0 timed out
      
      The actual problem would affect any visornic device that was rapidly
      transmitting at the same time the IO partition was being recovered. Once
      you hit the problem, the only way to resume use of the nic would be to
      reboot the Linux client partition.
      
      The problem was caused by chstat.sent_xmit and chstat.got_xmit_done NOT
      getting cleared during IO partition recovery. This is necessary because
      outstanding xmits would essentially be "abandoned" during such recovery.
      These fields are now cleared in virtnic_serverdown_complete().
