      Longhaul: add auto enabled "revid_errata" option · 52a2638b
      Rafal Bilski 提交于
      VIA C3 Ezra-T has RevisionID equal to 1, but it needs RevisionKey to be 0
      or CPU will ignore new frequency and will continue to work at old
      frequency.  New "revid_errata" option will force RevisionKey to be set to
      0, whatever RevisionID is.
      
      Additionaly "Longhaul" will not silently ignore unsuccessful transition.
      It will try to check if "revid_errata" or "disable_acpi_c3" options need to
      be enabled for this processor/system.
      
      Same for Longhaul ver.  2 support.  It will be disabled if none of above
      options will work.
      
       Best case scenario (with patch apllied and v2 enabled):
       longhaul: VIA C3 'Ezra' [C5C] CPU detected.  Longhaul v2 supported.
       longhaul: Using northbridge support.
       longhaul: VRM 8.5
       longhaul: Max VID=1.350  Min VID=1.050, 13 possible voltage scales
       longhaul: f: 300000 kHz, index: 0, vid: 1050 mV
       [...]
       longhaul: Voltage scaling enabled.
       Worst case scenario:
       longhaul: VIA C3 'Ezra-T' [C5M] CPU detected.  Powersaver supported.
       longhaul: Using northbridge support.
       longhaul: Using ACPI support.
       longhaul: VRM 8.5
       longhaul: Claims to support voltage scaling but min & max are both 1.250. Voltage scaling disabled
       longhaul: Failed to set requested frequency!
       longhaul: Enabling "Ignore Revision ID" option.
       longhaul: Failed to set requested frequency!
       longhaul: Disabling ACPI C3 support.
       longhaul: Disabling "Ignore Revision ID" option.
       longhaul: Failed to set requested frequency!
       longhaul: Enabling "Ignore Revision ID" option.

      Fix timer_stats printout of events/sec · 74922be1
      Anton Blanchard 提交于
      When using /proc/timer_stats on ppc64 I noticed the events/sec field wasnt
      accurate.  Sometimes the integer part was incorrect due to rounding (we
      werent taking the fractional seconds into consideration).
      
      The fraction part is also wrong, we need to pad the printf statement and
      take the bottom three digits of 1000 times the value.

      Don't do load-average calculations at even 5-second intervals · 0c2043ab
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      It turns out that there are a few other five-second timers in the
      kernel, and if the timers get in sync, the load-average can get
      artificially inflated by events that just happen to coincide.
      
      So just offset the load average calculation it by a timer tick.
      
      Noticed by Anders Boström, for whom the coincidence started triggering
      on one of his machines with the JBD jiffies rounding code (JBD is one of
      the subsystems that also end up using a 5-second timer by default).

      VT_WAITACTIVE: Avoid returning EINTR when not necessary · 70cb9793
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      We should generally prefer to return ERESTARTNOHAND rather than EINTR,
      so that processes with unhandled signals that get ignored don't return
      EINTR.
      
      This can help with X startup issues:
      
          Fatal server error:
          xf86OpenConsole: VT_WAITACTIVE failed: Interrupted system call
      
      although the real fix is having the X server always retry EINTR
      regardless (since EINTR does happen for signals that have handlers
      installed). Keithp has a patch for that.
      
      Regardless, ERESTARTNOHAND is the correct thing to use.
