Commit 8f92054e ("CRED: Fix __task_cred()'s lockdep check and banner
comment") fixed the lockdep checks on __task_cred().  This has shown up
a place in the signalling code where a lock should be held - namely that
check_kill_permission() requires its callers to hold the RCU lock.

Fix group_send_sig_info() to get the RCU read lock around its call to
check_kill_permission().

Without this patch, the following warning can occur:

bd_prepare_to_claim() incorrectly allowed multiple attempts for
exclusive open to progress in parallel if the attempting holders are
identical.  This triggered BUG_ON() as reported in the following bug.

  https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16393

__bd_abort_claiming() is used to finish claiming blocks and doesn't
work if multiple openers are inside a claiming block.  Allowing
multiple parallel open attempts to continue doesn't gain anything as
those are serialized down in the call chain anyway.  Fix it by always
allowing only single open attempt in a claiming block.

This problem can easily be reproduced by adding a delay after
bd_prepare_to_claim() and attempting to mount two partitions of a
disk.

The firmware handles '\t' internally, so stop trying to emulate it

and fix the broken case if a core's frequency depends on others.

trace_power_frequency was only implemented in a rather ungeneric way
in acpi-cpufreq driver's target() function only.
-> Move the call to trace_power_frequency to
   cpufreq.c:cpufreq_notify_transition() where CPUFREQ_POSTCHANGE
   notifier is triggered.
   This will support power frequency tracing by all cpufreq drivers

trace_power_frequency did not trace frequency changes correctly when
the userspace governor was used or when CPU cores' frequency depend
on each other.
-> Moving this into the CPUFREQ_POSTCHANGE notifier and pass the cpu
   which gets switched automatically fixes this.

Robert Schoene provided some important fixes on top of my initial
quick shot version which are integrated in this patch:
- Forgot some changes in power_end trace (TP_printk/variable names)
- Variable dummy in power_end must now be cpu_id
- Use static 64 bit variable instead of unsigned int for cpu_id

Maybe some of those people just didn't realize it was disabled in BIOS?
If you tell users that it's a firmware bug then they'll probably just
give up.

Why do you think so? I spent an hour on hunting down the BIOS upgrade,
only to find that it didn't improve anything. It was a day later that I
realized that it might be a BIOS option; and the option was literally
the _last_ option in the whole BIOS setup. :)

This message would have saved the day.

Sure, you have a point here.

How about this patch?

The Pstate transition latency check was added for broken F10h BIOSen
which wrongly contain a value of 0 for transition and bus master
latency. Fam11h and later, however, (will) have similar transition
latency so extend that behavior for them too.

The PCC cpufreq driver unmaps the mailbox address range if any CPUs fail to
initialise, but doesn't do anything to remove the registered CPUs from the
cpufreq core resulting in failures further down the line. We're better off
simply returning a failure - the cpufreq core will unregister us cleanly if
we end up with no successfully registered CPUs. Tidy up the failure path
and also add a sanity check to ensure that the firmware gives us a realistic
frequency - the core deals badly with that being set to 0.

one defined as part of the ACPI spec. This shouldn't be a problem as both
are supposed to be guarded with a UUID. Unfortunately approximately nobody
(including HP, who wrote this spec) properly check the UUID on entry to the
_OSC call. Right now this could result in surprising behaviour if the pcc
driver performs an _OSC call on a machine that doesn't implement the pcc
specification. Check whether the PCCH method exists first in order to reduce
this probability.
