0ae2e17865 ide: remove ->ide_dma_check (take 2)
* Add IDE_HFLAG_TRUST_BIOS_FOR_DMA host flag for host drivers that depend
  on BIOS for programming device/controller for DMA.  Set it in cy82c693,
  generic, ns87415, opti621 and trm290 host drivers.

* Add IDE_HFLAG_VDMA host flag for host drivers using VDMA.  Set it in cs5520
  host driver.

* Teach ide_tune_dma() about IDE_HFLAG_TRUST_BIOS_FOR_DMA flag.

* Add generic ide_dma_check() helper and remove all open coded ->ide_dma_check
  implementations.  Fix all places checking for presence of ->ide_dma_check
  hook to check for ->ide_dma_on instead.

* Remove no longer needed code from config_drive_for_dma().

* Make ide_tune_dma() static.

v2:
* Fix config_drive_for_dma() return values.

* Fix ide-dma.c build for CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDMA_PCI=n by adding
  dummy config_drive_for_dma() inline.

* Fix IDE_HFLAG_TRUST_BIOS_FOR_DMA handling in ide_dma_check().

* Fix init_hwif_it8213() comment.

There should be no functionality changes caused by this patch.

65c9cd23ca ide: remove ide_use_fast_pio()
Remove ide_use_fast_pio() and just re-tune PIO unconditionally if DMA tuning
has failed in ->ide_dma_check.  All host drivers using ide_use_fast_pio() set
drive->autotune so PIO is always tuned anyway and in some cases we _really_
need to re-tune PIO because PIO and DMA timings are shared.

  - transfer mode not being set on device/host

94c7fa0fcc atiixp: DMA setup fixes
* Fix handling of unsupported/invalid modes in atiixp_set_dma_mode().

* ATI controllers allow separate PIO and DMA timings so remove programming
  of PIO modes from atiixp_set_dma_mode().  Also remove no longer needed
  atiixp_dma_2_pio() helper.

* SWDMA timings are not programmed by atiixp_set_dma_mode() and if SWDMA
  mode is chosen atiixp_dma_host_on() erroneously enables UDMA, just disable
  support for SWDMA modes for now.

* Enable support for MWDMA0 mode.

* Bump driver version.

c77a89cd98 sis5513: DMA setup fixes
* Add sis_ata133_get_base() helper function for obtaining the address of
  the drive control registers on chipset_family == ATA_133 chipsets.

* Add three helper functions for programming PIO/MWDMA timings:
  - sis_ata16_program_timings()  (for ATA_16/33/66/100a chipset families)
  - sis_ata100_program_timings() (for ATA_100/133a chipset families)
  - sis_ata133_program_timings() (for ATA_133 chipset family)

  MWDMA timings are taken from datasheets and they match ATA spec.

* Add generic helper function sis_program_timings() and use it in
  ->set_pio_mode and ->set_dma_mode methods (previously the driver
  depended on BIOS to program the correct MWDMA timings).

* Remove redundant !chipset_family check from init_hwif_sis5513()
  (init_chipset_sis5513() guarantees that we will never get here if
   chipset_family cannot be determined).

* SWDMA seems to be unsupported by SiS chipsets (no info about SWDMA in
  datasheets and for SWDMA0 mode timing requirements are impossible to
  fulfill) so remove ->swdma_mask from init_hwif_sis5513() and handling
  of SWDMA modes from sis_set_dma_mode().

* Enable DMA support for chipset_family == ATA_16.

* Bump driver version.

8bb00d83d8 [MIPS] Increase cp0 compare clockevent min_delta_ns from 0x30 to 0x300.
Extremly low values are of dubious usefulness anyway but in this case
they actually were killing Qemu which simply wasn't able to complete
mips_next_event() within 0x30 100MHz cycles even on fast hosts.

985c30ef4d [MIPS] Fix aliasing bug in copy_user_highpage, take 2.
Turns out b868868ae0  wasn't quite right.
When called for a page that isn't marked dirty it would artificially
create an alias instead of doing the obvious thing and access the page
via KSEG0.

The same issue also exists in copy_to_user_page and copy_from_user_page
which was causing the machine to die under rare circumstances for example
when running ps if the BUG_ON() assertion added by the earlier fix was
getting triggered.

but it does so by calling do_gettimeofday() and then returning the
tv_sec portion of the GTOD time. But the data structure "xtime", which
is updated by every timer/scheduler tick, already offers HZ granularity
time.

the patch improves the sysbench oltp macrobenchmark by 4-5% on an AMD
dual-core system:

v2.6.23:

#threads

   1:     transactions:                        4073   (407.23 per sec.)
   2:     transactions:                        8530   (852.81 per sec.)
   3:     transactions:                        8321   (831.88 per sec.)
   4:     transactions:                        8407   (840.58 per sec.)
   5:     transactions:                        8070   (806.74 per sec.)

v2.6.23 + sys_time-speedup.patch:

   1:     transactions:                        4281   (428.09 per sec.)
   2:     transactions:                        8910   (890.85 per sec.)
   3:     transactions:                        8659   (865.79 per sec.)
   4:     transactions:                        8676   (867.34 per sec.)
   5:     transactions:                        8532   (852.91 per sec.)

and by 4-5% on an Intel dual-core system too:

2.6.23:

  1:     transactions:                        4560   (455.94 per sec.)
  2:     transactions:                        10094  (1009.30 per sec.)
  3:     transactions:                        9755   (975.36 per sec.)
  4:     transactions:                        9859   (985.78 per sec.)
  5:     transactions:                        9701   (969.72 per sec.)

2.6.23 + sys_time-speedup.patch:

  1:     transactions:                        4779   (477.84 per sec.)
  2:     transactions:                        10103  (1010.14 per sec.)
  3:     transactions:                        10141  (1013.93 per sec.)
  4:     transactions:                        10371  (1036.89 per sec.)
  5:     transactions:                        10178  (1017.50 per sec.)

(the more CPUs the system has, the more speedup this patch gives for
this particular workload.)

d4c9f23af0 powerpc32 vDSO: linker script indentation
This cleans up the formatting in the vDSO linker script, mostly just the
use of whitespace.  It's intended to approximate the kernel standard
conventions for indenting C, treating elements of the linker script about
like initialized variable definitions.
