72fd4a35a8 [PATCH] Numerous fixes to kernel-doc info in source files.
A variety of (mostly) innocuous fixes to the embedded kernel-doc content in
source files, including:

  * make multi-line initial descriptions single line
  * denote some function names, constants and structs as such
  * change erroneous opening '/*' to '/**' in a few places
  * reword some text for clarity

1711ef3866 [PATCH] posix-timers: Fix clock_nanosleep() doesn't return the remaining time in compatibility mode
The clock_nanosleep() function does not return the time remaining when the
sleep is interrupted by a signal.

This patch creates a new call out, compat_clock_nanosleep_restart(), which
handles returning the remaining time after a sleep is interrupted.  This
patch revives clock_nanosleep_restart().  It is now accessed via the new
call out.  The compat_clock_nanosleep_restart() is used for compatibility
access.

Since this is implemented in compatibility mode the normal path is
virtually unaffected - no real performance impact.

8c78f3075d [PATCH] cpu hotplug: replace __devinit* with __cpuinit* for cpu notifications
Few of the callback functions and notifier blocks that are associated with cpu
notifications incorrectly have __devinit and __devinitdata.  They should be
__cpuinit and __cpuinitdata instead.

It makes no functional difference but wastes text area when CONFIG_HOTPLUG is
enabled and CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is not.

This patch fixes all those instances.

9c7b216d23 [PATCH] cpu hotplug: revert init patch submitted for 2.6.17
In 2.6.17, there was a problem with cpu_notifiers and XFS.  I provided a
band-aid solution to solve that problem.  In the process, i undid all the
changes you both were making to ensure that these notifiers were available
only at init time (unless CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is defined).

We deferred the real fix to 2.6.18.  Here is a set of patches that fixes the
XFS problem cleanly and makes the cpu notifiers available only at init time
(unless CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is defined).

If CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is defined then cpu notifiers are available at run
time.

This patch reverts the notifier_call changes made in 2.6.17

bfe5d83419 [PATCH] Define __raw_get_cpu_var and use it
There are several instances of per_cpu(foo, raw_smp_processor_id()), which
is semantically equivalent to __get_cpu_var(foo) but without the warning
that smp_processor_id() can give if CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT is enabled.  For
those architectures with optimized per-cpu implementations, namely ia64,
powerpc, s390, sparc64 and x86_64, per_cpu() turns into more and slower
code than __get_cpu_var(), so it would be preferable to use __get_cpu_var
on those platforms.

This defines a __raw_get_cpu_var(x) macro which turns into per_cpu(x,
raw_smp_processor_id()) on architectures that use the generic per-cpu
implementation, and turns into __get_cpu_var(x) on the architectures that
have an optimized per-cpu implementation.

69239749e1 [PATCH] fix next_timer_interrupt() for hrtimer
Also from Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

Function next_timer_interrupt() got broken with a recent patch
6ba1b91213 as sys_nanosleep() was moved to
hrtimer.  This broke things as next_timer_interrupt() did not check hrtimer
tree for next event.

Function next_timer_interrupt() is needed with dyntick (CONFIG_NO_IDLE_HZ,
VST) implementations, as the system can be in idle when next hrtimer event
was supposed to happen.  At least ARM and S390 currently use
next_timer_interrupt().

ff60a5dc4f [PATCH] hrtimers: fix posix-timer requeue race
From: Steven Rostedtrostedt@goodmis.org <rostedt@goodmis.org>

CPU0 expires a posix-timer and runs the callback function.  The signal is
queued.

After releasing the posix-timer lock and before returning to hrtimer_run_queue
CPU0 gets interrupted.  CPU1 delivers the queued signal and rearms the timer.
CPU0 comes back to hrtimer_run_queue and sets the timer state to expired.

The next modification of the timer can result in an oops, because the state
information is wrong.

Keep track of state = RUNNING and check if the state has been in the return
path of hrtimer_run_queue.  In case the state has been changed, ignore a
restart request and do not touch the state variable.
