Some gigabytes have on-board SIMG5723s connected to JMB ahcis. These are used to implement hardware raid. Unfortunately some firmware revisions on these 5723s don't bring the link down when all the downstream ports are unoccupied while not responding to reset protocol which makes libata think that there's device attached to the port but is not responding and retry. This results in painfully wrong boot detection time for these ports when they're empty. This patch quirks those boards such that ahci gives up after the initial timeout. Combined with parallel probing, this gives quick enough probing and also is safe because SIMG5723 will respond to the first try if any of the downstream ports is occupied.

At least the nVidia MCP55 controller quite happily supports MSI. This adds an option to use it. It is disabled by default. As per feedback by Robert Hancock, it will honour the user request as the kernel will not enable MSI where the controller or the specific system configuration do not support it.

Between GCC version 3.4.0 and 4.3.3 (including 3.4.0 and 4.3.3), -mtune=merced is implemented in GCC. Starting from 4.4.0, -mtune=merced is deprecated. Even implemented in versions between 3.4.0 and 4.3.3, the -mtune=merced feature has been broken in some of the versions. For example, GCC 4.1.2 reports interanl tuning function errors during kernel building with -mtune=merced. Or GCC Bugzilla 16130 reports another -mtune=merced issue on GCC 3.4.1. So I would remove the -mtune=merced from IA64 kernel build. Without this option, kernel on Merced will remain the same except losing an unstable and out-of-date performance tunning feature. Since GCC version 3.4.0, -mtune=mckinley has been implemented. The -mtune=mckinley option functions the same as mtune=itanium2. And mtune=itanium2 is the default option. So we don't need to add mtune=mckinley either since its been the default option in any GCC version which implements this option. Signed-off-by: NFenghua Yu <fenghua.yu@intel.com>

Commit 783ea7d4 (Driver Core: Rework platform suspend/resume, print warning) added a warning message printed for platform drivers that use the legacy PM callbacks rather than struct dev_pm_ops. Unfortunately, this resulted in some confusion and made some people try to convert drivers by replacing the old callbacks with struct dev_pm_ops in automatic way, which generally is not a good idea. Remove the platform device runtime dev_pm_ops warning for now, because it's annoying to users and it's not really necessary right now.

Commit d945cb9c ("pty: Rework the pty layer to use the normal buffering logic") dropped the test for 'tty->stopped' in pty_write_room(), which then causes the n_tty line discipline thing to not throttle the data properly when the tty is stopped. So instead of pausing the write due to the tty being stopped, the ldisc layer would go ahead and push it down to the pty. The pty write() routine would then refuse to take the data (because it _did_ check 'stopped'), and the data wouldn't actually be written. This whole stopped test should eventually be moved into the tty ldisc layer rather than have low-level tty drivers care about these things, but right now the fix is to just re-instate the missing pty 'stopped' handling.

Wei Chong Tan reported a fast-PIT-calibration corner-case: | pit_expect_msb() is vulnerable to SMI disturbance corner case | in some platforms which causes /proc/cpuinfo to show wrong | CPU MHz value when quick_pit_calibrate() jumps to success | section. I think that the real issue isn't even an SMI - but the fact that in the very last iteration of the loop, there's no serializing instruction _after_ the last 'rdtsc'. So even in the absense of SMI's, we do have a situation where the cycle counter was read without proper serialization. The last check should be done outside the outer loop, since _inside_ the outer loop, we'll be testing that the PIT has the right MSB value has the right value in the next iteration. So only the _last_ iteration is special, because that's the one that will not check the PIT MSB value any more, and because the final 'get_cycles()' isn't serialized. In other words: - I'd like to move the PIT MSB check to after the last iteration, rather than in every iteration - I think we should comment on the fact that it's also a serializing instruction and so 'fences in' the TSC read. Here's a suggested replacement.

We do that instead of aligning only the perf raw sample size, so that we might economize some in some cases.

The problem is minor, but without ->cred_guard_mutex held we can race with exec() and get the new ->mm but check old creds. Now we do not need to re-check task->mm after ptrace_may_access(), it can't be changed to the new mm under us. Strictly speaking, this also fixes another very minor problem. Unless security check fails or the task exits mm_for_maps() should never return NULL, the caller should get either old or new ->mm.

It would be nice to kill __ptrace_may_access(). It requires task_lock(), but this lock is only needed to read mm->flags in the middle. Convert mm_for_maps() to use ptrace_may_access(), this also simplifies the code a little bit. Also, we do not need to take ->mmap_sem in advance. In fact I think mm_for_maps() should not play with ->mmap_sem at all, the caller should take this lock.
