      [CPUFREQ] Mark longhaul driver as broken. · 5e8fb971
      Dave Jones authored
      This seems to work for a short period of time, but when
      used in conjunction with a userspace governor that changes
      the frequency regularly, it's only a matter of time before
      everything just locks up.

      [PATCH] cpufreq: fix section mismatch warnings · bb1a813d
      Sam Ravnborg authored
      cpufreq are the only remaining bit to be solved for me to have a modpost
      clean build for sparc64 - so I took one more look at it.
      changelog entry:
      
      Fix section mismatch warnings in cpufreq:
      WARNING: drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq_stats.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text: from .data between 'cpufreq_stat_cpu_notifier' (at offset 0xa8) and 'notifier_policy_block'
      WARNING: drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq_stats.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text: from .exit.text after 'cleanup_module' (at offset 0x30)
      
      The culprint is the function: cpufreq_stat_cpu_callback
      It is marked __cpuinit which get's redefined to __init in case
      HOTPLUG_CPU is not enabled as per. init.h:
      
      #ifdef CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU
      #define __cpuinit
      #else
      #define __cpuinit       __init
      #endif
      
      $> grep HOTPLUG .config
      CONFIG_HOTPLUG=y
      
      But cpufreq_stat_cpu_callback() is used in:
      __exit cpufreq_stats_exit()
      static struct notifier_block cpufreq_stat_cpu_notifier
      
      cpufreq_stat_cpu_notifier is again used in:
      __init cpufreq_stats_init()
      __exit cpufreq_stats_exit()
      
      So in both cases used from both __init and __exit context.
      Only solution seems to drop __cpuinit tag.

      [PATCH] x86_64: Fix ioctl compat code for /dev/rtc · fc5870f6
      Andi Kleen authored
      RTC_IRQP_SET/RTC_EPOCH_SET don't take a pointer to an argument, but the
      argument itself.  This actually simplifies the code and makes it work.

      [PATCH] x86_64: Better ATI timer fix · ab9b32ee
      Andi Kleen authored
      The previous experiment for using apicmaintimer on ATI systems didn't
      work out very well.  In particular laptops with C2/C3 support often
      don't let it tick during idle, which makes it useless.  There were also
      some other bugs that made the apicmaintimer often not used at all.
      
      I tried some other experiments - running timer over RTC and some other
      things but they didn't really work well neither.
      
      I rechecked the specs now and it turns out this simple change is
      actually enough to avoid the double ticks on the ATI systems.  We just
      turn off IRQ 0 in the 8254 and only route it directly using the IO-APIC.
      
      I tested it on a few ATI systems and it worked there.  In fact it worked
      on all chipsets (NVidia, Intel, AMD, ATI) I tried it on.
      
      According to the ACPI spec routing should always work through the
      IO-APIC so I think it's the correct thing to do anyways (and most of the
      old gunk in check_timer should be thrown away for x86-64).
      
      But for 2.6.16 it's best to do a fairly minimal change:
       - Use the known to be working everywhere-but-ATI IRQ0 both over 8254
         and IO-APIC setup everywhere
       - Except on ATI disable IRQ0 in the 8254
       - Remove the code to select apicmaintimer on ATI chipsets
       - Add some boot options to allow to override this (just paranoia)
      
      In 2.6.17 I hope to switch the default over to this for everybody.
