8cfcbe998a sky2: recovery deadlock fix
Prevent deadlock in sky2 recovery logic. sky2_down calls napi_synchronize
which gets stuck if napi was already disabled.

Fix by rearranging slightly and not calling napi_disable until after
both ports are stopped. The napi_disable probably is being overly
paranoid, but it is safe now.

75bc122c2d x86: add the word 'WARNING' in check_nmi_watchdog() output
Our automated test suite looks for keywords like error, fail, warning in
the boot log.  In the case when the nmi watchdog is determined to be
stuck in check_nmi_watchdog(), none of those keywords are displayed.

This patch adds a keyword, "WARNING:", so it makes it easier to notice
when the nmi watchdog isn't working correctly. Also add a proper
KERN_WARNING mark to this printout.

ee0011a798 x86: revert CONFIG_X86_HT semantics change
The recent Kconfig changes in x86 resulted in CONFIG_X86_HT no longer
being set if (X86_32 && MK8).

After grep'ing through the tree I think the problem is that different
places have different assumptions about the semantics of CONFIG_X86_HT,
either:

- hyperthreading or
- multicore

This should be sorted out properly, but until then we should keep the
2.6.23 status quo.

Luiz Fernando N. Capitulino reported that sched_rr_get_interval()
crashes for SCHED_OTHER tasks that are on an idle runqueue.

The fix is to return a 0 timeslice for tasks that are on an idle
runqueue. (and which are not running, obviously)

this also shrinks the code a bit:

436d1bc7fe [S390] dcssblk: prevent early access without own make_request function
When loading a dcss segment with the dcssblk driver, sometimes the
following kind of message appears:

bio too big device dcssblk0 (8 > 0)
Buffer I/O error on device dcssblk0, logical block 172016
..

The fix is to move the disk registration after setting the
make_request function, to avoid calls into generic_make_request
for dcssblock without having the make_request function set up
properly.

Unfortunately, the channel subsystem will try on a different path

Therefore, revert SenseID to its previous per-path behaviour and
just leave out the suspend multipath reconnect.

c86c7fbc82 x86: disable hpet on shutdown
If HPET was enabled by pci quirks, we use i8253 as initial clockevent
because pci quirks doesn't run until pci is initialized.

The above means the kernel (or something) is assuming HPET legacy
replacement is disabled and can use i8253 at boot.

If we used kexec, it isn't true. So, this patch disables HPET legacy
replacement for kexec in machine_shutdown().

ce3b642d42 uml: work around host tcsetattr bug
Under the conditions that UML uses it, tcgetattr is guaranteed to return
-EINTR when the console is attached to /dev/ptmx, making generic_console_write
hang because it loops, calling tcgetattr until it succeeds.  This is a host
bug - see http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=119618990807182&w=2 for the
details.

This patch works around it by blocking SIGIO while the terminal attributes are

error log on some machines.  The platform architecture (PAPR) is a
little unclear on exactly when the RTAS ibm,os-term function should be
called.  Until that is clarified I'm reverting this commit.

152c300d00 ACPICA: fix acpi-cpufreq boot crash due to _PSD return-by-reference
Changed resolution of named references in packages

Fixed a problem with the Package operator where all named
references were created as object references and left otherwise
unresolved. According to the ACPI specification, a Package can
only contain Data Objects or references to control methods. The
implication is that named references to Data Objects (Integer,
Buffer, String, Package, BufferField, Field) should be resolved
immediately upon package creation. This is the approach taken
with this change. References to all other named objects (Methods,
Devices, Scopes, etc.) are all now properly created as reference objects.

d842de871c sched: cpu accounting controller (V2)
Commit cfb5285660 removed a useful feature for
us, which provided a cpu accounting resource controller.  This feature would be
useful if someone wants to group tasks only for accounting purpose and doesnt
really want to exercise any control over their cpu consumption.

The patch below reintroduces the feature. It is based on Paul Menage's
original patch (Commit 62d0df6406), with
these differences:

        - Removed load average information. I felt it needs more thought (esp
	  to deal with SMP and virtualized platforms) and can be added for
	  2.6.25 after more discussions.
        - Convert group cpu usage to be nanosecond accurate (as rest of the cfs
	  stats are) and invoke cpuacct_charge() from the respective scheduler
	  classes
	- Make accounting scalable on SMP systems by splitting the usage
	  counter to be per-cpu
	- Move the code from kernel/cpu_acct.c to kernel/sched.c (since the
	  code is not big enough to warrant a new file and also this rightly
	  needs to live inside the scheduler. Also things like accessing
	  rq->lock while reading cpu usage becomes easier if the code lived in
	  kernel/sched.c)

The patch also modifies the cpu controller not to provide the same accounting
information.

Tested-by: Balbir Singh <balbir@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

 Tested the patches on top of 2.6.24-rc3. The patches work fine. Ran
 some simple tests like cpuspin (spin on the cpu), ran several tasks in
 the same group and timed them. Compared their time stamps with
 cpuacct.usage.

357dc4c3f1 ACPI: Delete the IRQ operation in throttling controll via PTC
The IRQ operation(enable/disable) should be avoided when throttling is
controlled via PTC method. It is replaced by the migration of task.

This fixes an oops on T61 -- a regression due to
f79f06ab9f b/c FixedHW support tried to read remote MSR with interrupts disabled.

02a121da5a sata_mv: Fix broken Marvell 7042 support.
sata_mv:  Fix broken Marvell 7042 support.

The Marvell 7042 chip is more or less the same as the 6042 internally,
but sports a PCIe bus.  Despite having identical SATA cores, the 7042
does differ from its PCI bus counterparts in placment and layout of
certain bus related registers.

This patch fixes sata_mv to distinguish between the PCI bus registers
of earlier chips, and the PCIe bus registers of the 7042.

Specifically, move the offsets and bit patterns for the
PCI/PCIe interrupt cause/mask registers into the struct mv_host_priv,
as these values differ between the 6xxx and 7xxx series chips.

This fixes the driver to not access reserved PCI addresses,
and prevents the lockups reported in linux-2.6.24 with 7042 boards.

Also add a new PCI ID for the Highpoint 2300 7042-based board
that I'm using for testing this stuff here.

Tested with Marvell 6081 + 7042 chips, on x86 & x86_64.
