      [PATCH] ppc64: fix __rw_yield prototype · ba5d8937

      Hit this in latest bk:
      
      include/asm/spinlock.h: In function `_raw_read_lock':
      include/asm/spinlock.h:198: warning: passing arg 1 of `__rw_yield' from incompatible pointer type
      include/asm/spinlock.h: In function `_raw_write_lock':
      include/asm/spinlock.h:255: warning: passing arg 1 of `__rw_yield' from incompatible pointer type
      
      This seems to have been broken by the out-of-line spinlocks patch.
      You won't hit it unless you've enabled CONFIG_PPC_SPLPAR.  Use the
      rwlock_t for the argument type, and move the definition of rwlock_t up
      next to that of spinlock_t.

      [PATCH] ppc64: fix hang on oprofile shutdown · 34201b6e
      Anton Blanchard authored
      We had a problem in our dummy perfmon handler where we wouldnt reset the
      PMAO bit.  If the bit ended up set and oprofile shutdown and removed its
      handler then we would end up in a hard loop taking perfmon exceptions.

      Anton Blanchard authored
      Allow SD_NODES_PER_DOMAIN to be overridden.  On ppc64 set this at 16 so our
      top level scheduling domains will include all nodes.

      [PATCH] Time interpolator: Scalability enhancements and high resolution time for IA64 · bd46a4f1
      Christoph Lameter authored
      This has been in the ia64 (and hence -mm) trees for a couple of months.
      
      Changelog:
       * Affects only architectures which define CONFIG_TIME_INTERPOLATION
         (currently only IA64)
       * Genericize time interpolation, make time interpolators easily usable
         and provide instructions on how to use the interpolator for other
         architectures.
       * Provide nanosecond resolution for clock_gettime and an accuracy
         up to the time interpolator time base.
       * clock_getres() reports resolution of underlying time basis which
         is typically <50ns and may be 1ns on some systems.
       * Make time interpolator self-tuning to limit time jumps
         and to make the interpolators work correctly on systems with
         broken time base specifications.
       * SMP scalability: Make clock_gettime and gettimeofday scale O(1)
         by removing the cmpxchg for most clocks (tested for up to 512 CPUs)
       * IA64: provide asm fastcall that doubles the performance
         of gettimeofday and clock_gettime on SGI and other IA64 systems
         (asm fastcalls scale O(1) together with the scalability fixes).
       * IA64: provide nojitter kernel option so that IA64 systems with
         correctly synchronized ITC counters may also enjoy the
         scalability enhancements.

      [PATCH] input: Fix hiddev disconnect-while-in-use oops · 38a3d44d
      Adam Kropelin authored
      hid-core calls hiddev_disconnect() when the underlying device goes away
      (hot unplug or system shutdown).  Normally, hiddev_disconnect() will clean
      up nicely and return to hid-core who then frees the hid structure.
      However, if the corresponding hiddev node is open at disconnect time,
      hiddev delays the majority of disconnect work until the device is closed
      via hiddev_release().  hiddev_release() calls hiddev_cleanup() which
      proceeds to dereference the hid struct which hid-core freed back when the
      hardware was disconnected.  Oops.
      
      To solve this, we change hiddev_disconnect() to deregister the hiddev minor
      and invalidate its table entry immediately and delay only the freeing of
      the hiddev structure itself.  We're protected against future operations on
      the fd since the major fops check hiddev->exists.
