OK indeed it did have a couple of bugs. Firstly, I wasn't freeing the
data properly in the alloc && wait case. Secondly, I wasn't resetting
CSD_FLAG_WAIT in the for each cpu loop (so only the first CPU would
wait).

After those fixes, the patch boots and runs with the kmalloc commented
out (so it always executes the slowpath).

When we enable DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC but do not enable PROVE_LOCKING and or
LOCK_STAT, lock_alloc() and lock_release() turn into nops, even though
we should be doing hlock checking (check=1).

This causes a false warning and a lockdep self-disable.

Rectify this.

Nice debugging work.

I'd suggest something like the attached (boot tested) patch as the simple
fix for now.

I expect the benefits from the less synchronized, multiple-in-flight-data
global queue will still outweigh the costs of dynamic allocations. But
if worst comes to worst then we just go back to a globally synchronous
one-at-a-time implementation, but that would be pretty sad!

Do as Linus suggested. The lock protection lock is called nest_lock.

Instead of using a per-rq lock class, use the regular nesting operations.

However, take extra care with double_lock_balance() as it can release the
already held rq->lock (and therefore change its nesting class).

So what can happen is:

 spin_lock(rq->lock);	// this rq subclass 0

 double_lock_balance(rq, other_rq);
   // release rq
   // acquire other_rq->lock subclass 0
   // acquire rq->lock subclass 1

 spin_unlock(other_rq->lock);

leaving you with rq->lock in subclass 1

So a subsequent double_lock_balance() call can try to nest a subclass 1
lock while already holding a subclass 1 lock.

Fix this by introducing double_unlock_balance() which releases the other
rq's lock, but also re-sets the subclass for this rq's lock to 0.

This patch provides support for the _PSD ACPI object in the Powernow-k8
driver.  Although it looks like an invasive patch, most of it is
simply the consequence of turning the static acpi_performance_data
structure into a pointer.

AMD has tested it on several machines over the past few days without issue.

There doesn't seem to be a compelling reason why nfsd4_op_name() is
marked as "inline":

It's only used in a dprintk(), and as long as it has only one caller
non-ancient gcc versions anyway inline it automatically.

This patch fixes the following compile error with gcc 3.4:

Back when .gitignore file was added to arch/powerpc/ in 06f2138e ([POWERPC]
Add files build to .gitignore, 2006-11-26), there indeed was nothing
tracked in the ignored hierarchy and ignoring everything made sense.  But
we have very many tracked files there these days, and having a higher
level .gitignore that ignores everything is asking for future troubles..

This should have been part of b8b572e1 (powerpc: Move include files to
arch/powerpc/include/asm, 2008-08-01).

Before we dereference the stack frame or try to peek at the
pt_regs magic value, make sure the entire object is within
the kernel stack bounds.
