      of: search the best compatible match first in __of_match_node() · 06b29e76
      Kevin Hao 提交于
      Currently, of_match_node compares each given match against all node's
      compatible strings with of_device_is_compatible.
      
      To achieve multiple compatible strings per node with ordering from
      specific to generic, this requires given matches to be ordered from
      specific to generic. For most of the drivers this is not true and also
      an alphabetical ordering is more sane there.
      
      Therefore, this patch introduces a function to match each of the node's
      compatible strings against all given compatible matches without type and
      name first, before checking the next compatible string. This implies
      that node's compatibles are ordered from specific to generic while
      given matches can be in any order. If we fail to find such a match
      entry, then fall-back to the old method in order to keep compatibility.

      md/raid5: Fix CPU hotplug callback registration · 789b5e03
      Oleg Nesterov 提交于
      Subsystems that want to register CPU hotplug callbacks, as well as perform
      initialization for the CPUs that are already online, often do it as shown
      below:
      
      	get_online_cpus();
      
      	for_each_online_cpu(cpu)
      		init_cpu(cpu);
      
      	register_cpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier);
      
      	put_online_cpus();
      
      This is wrong, since it is prone to ABBA deadlocks involving the
      cpu_add_remove_lock and the cpu_hotplug.lock (when running concurrently
      with CPU hotplug operations).
      
      Interestingly, the raid5 code can actually prevent double initialization and
      hence can use the following simplified form of callback registration:
      
      	register_cpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier);
      
      	get_online_cpus();
      
      	for_each_online_cpu(cpu)
      		init_cpu(cpu);
      
      	put_online_cpus();
      
      A hotplug operation that occurs between registering the notifier and calling
      get_online_cpus(), won't disrupt anything, because the code takes care to
      perform the memory allocations only once.
      
      So reorganize the code in raid5 this way to fix the deadlock with callback
      registration.

      intel_pstate: Remove energy reporting from pstate_sample tracepoint · 709c078e
      Dirk Brandewie 提交于
      Remove the reporting of energy since it does not provide any useful
      information about the state of the driver and will be a maintainance
      headache going forward since the RAPL energy units register is not
      architectural and subject to change between micro-architectures
