940959e939 sched: fixlet for group load balance
We should not only correct the increment for the initial group, but should
be consistent and do so for all the groups we encounter.

fa74820317 sched: fix init_hrtick() section mismatch warning
LD      kernel/built-in.o
WARNING: kernel/built-in.o(.text+0x326): Section mismatch in reference
from the function init_hrtick() to the variable
.cpuinit.data:hotplug_hrtick_nb.8
The function init_hrtick() references
the variable __cpuinitdata hotplug_hrtick_nb.8.
This is often because init_hrtick lacks a __cpuinitdata
annotation or the annotation of hotplug_hrtick_nb.8 is wrong.

cec5eb7be3 pcmcia: Fix broken abuse of dev->driver_data
PCMCIA abuses dev->private_data in the probe methods. Unfortunately it
continues to abuse it after calling drv->probe() which leads to crashes and
other nasties (such as bogus probes of multifunction devices) giving errors like

pcmcia: registering new device pcmcia0.1
kernel: 0.1: GetNextTuple: No more items

Extract the passed data before calling the driver probe function that way
we don't blow up when the driver reuses dev->private_data as its right.

As its close to the final release just move the hack so it works out,
hopefully someone will be sufficiently embarrassed to produce a nice rework
for 2.6.28.

15afe09bf4 sched: wakeup preempt when small overlap
Lin Ming reported a 10% OLTP regression against 2.6.27-rc4.

The difference seems to come from different preemption agressiveness,
which affects the cache footprint of the workload and its effective
cache trashing.

Aggresively preempt a task if its avg overlap is very small, this should
avoid the task going to sleep and find it still running when we schedule
back to it - saving a wakeup.

ad55dcaff0 netdev: simple_tx_hash shouldn't hash inside fragments
Currently simple_tx_hash is hashing inside of udp fragments.  As a result
packets are getting getting sent to all queues when they shouldn't be.
This causes a serious performance regression which can be seen by sending
UDP frames larger than mtu on multiqueue devices.  This change will make
it so that fragments are hashed only as IP datagrams w/o any protocol
information.

While updating the rcu code, I noticed that do_nmi() for AVR32 is odd:
There is an nmi_enter() call without an nmi_exit().
This can't be correct, it breaks rcu (at least the preempt version) and
lockdep.

73d4393d1d avr32: fix sys_sync_file_range() call convention
On AVR32, all parameters beyond the 5th are passed on the stack. System
calls don't use the stack -- they borrow a callee-saved register
instead. This means that syscalls that take 6 parameters must be called
through a stub that pushes the last parameter on the stack.

This patch adds a stub for sync_file_range syscall on AVR32
architecture.  Tested with uClibc snapshot.

e37925ebdb avr32: add generic_find_next_le_bit bit function
This patch implements the generic_find_next_le_bit bit function for AVR32
architecture. This is used by EXT4 file system.
