ACPI: ibm-acpi: clean up fan_read

This patch cleans up fan_read so that it is much easier to read and
extend.

The patch fixes the userspace ABI to return "status: not supported" (like
all other ibm-acpi functions) when neither fan status or fan control are
possible.

It also fixes the userspace ABI to return EIO if ACPI access to the EC
fails, instead of returning "status: unreadable" or "speed: unreadable".

ACPI: ibm-acpi: Implement direct-ec-access thermal reading modes for up to 16 sensors

This patch extends ibm-acpi to support reading thermal sensors directly
through ACPI EC register access.  It uses a DMI match to detect ThinkPads
with a new-style embedded controller, that are known to have forward-
compatible register maps and use 0x00 to fill in non-used registers and
export thermal sensors at EC offsets 0x78-7F and 0xC0-C7.

Direct ACPI EC register access is implemented for 8-sensor and 16-sensor
new-style ThinkPad controller firmwares as an experimental feature.  The
code does some limited sanity checks on the temperatures read through EC
access, and will default to the old ACPI TMP0-7 mode if anything is amiss.

Userspace ABI is not changed for 8 sensors, but /proc/acpi/ibm/thermal is
extended for 16 sensors if the firmware supports 16 sensors.

A documentation update is also provided.

The information about the ThinkPad register map was determined by studying
ibm-acpi "ecdump" output from various ThinkPad models, submitted by
subscribers of the linux-thinkpad mailinglist.  Futher information was
gathered from the DSDT tables, as they describe the EC register map in
recent ThinkPads.

DSDT source shows that TMP0-7 access and direct register access are
actually the same thing on these firmwares, but unfortunately IBM never
did update their DSDT EC register map to export TMP8-TMP15 for the second
range of sensors.

ACPI: ibm-acpi: Use a enum to select the thermal sensor reading strategy

This patch consolidades all decisions regarding the strategy to be used to
read thinkpad thermal sensors into a single enum, and refactors the
thermal sensor reading code to use a much more readable (and easier to
extend) switch() construct, in a separate function.

[PATCH] knfsd: fix race that can disable NFS server

This patch is suitable for just about any 2.6 kernel.  It should go in
2.6.19 and 2.6.18.2 and possible even the .17 and .16 stable series.

This is a long standing bug that seems to have only recently become
apparent, presumably due to increasing use of NFS over TCP - many
distros seem to be making it the default.

The SK_CONN bit gets set when a listening socket may be ready
for an accept, just as SK_DATA is set when data may be available.

It is entirely possible for svc_tcp_accept to be called with neither
of these set.  It doesn't happen often but there is a small race in
svc_sock_enqueue as SK_CONN and SK_DATA are tested outside the
spin_lock.  They could be cleared immediately after the test and
before the lock is gained.

This normally shouldn't be a problem.  The sockets are non-blocking so
trying to read() or accept() when ther is nothing to do is not a problem.

However: svc_tcp_recvfrom makes the decision "Should I accept() or
should I read()" based on whether SK_CONN is set or not.  This usually
works but is not safe.  The decision should be based on whether it is
a TCP_LISTEN socket or a TCP_CONNECTED socket.

                    -> start_this_handle()
    returns -EROFS without transaction->t_updates++;

    -> ext3_journal_stop()
        -> journal_stop()
J_ASSERT(transaction->t_updates > 0)

If journal was aborted in middle of journal_restart(), ext3_truncate()
may trigger J_ASSERT().

[PATCH] Fix potential interrupts during alternative patching

Interrupts must be disabled during alternative instruction patching.  On
systems with high timer IRQ rates, or when running in an emulator, timing
differences can result in random kernel panics because of running partially
patched instructions.  This doesn't yet fix NMIs, which requires extricating
the patch code from the late bug checking and is logically separate (and also
less likely to cause problems).

[PATCH] nfsd: nfs_replay_me

We are using NFS_REPLAY_ME as a special error value that is never leaked to
clients.  That works fine; the only problem is mixing host- and network-
endian values in the same objects.  Network-endian equivalent would work just
as fine; switch to it.

[PATCH] bug: nfsd/nfs4xdr.c misuse of ERR_PTR()

a) ERR_PTR(nfserr_something) is a bad idea;
IS_ERR() will be false for it.
b) mixing nfserr_.... with -EOPNOTSUPP is
even worse idea.

nfsd4_path() does both; caller expects to get NFS protocol error out it if
anything goes wrong, but if it does we either do not notice (see (a)) or get
host-endian negative (see (b)).

IOW, that's a case when we can't use ERR_PTR() to return error, even though we
return a pointer in case of success.

[PATCH] acpi memory hotplug: remove strange add_memory fail message

I wrote a patch to avoid redundant memory hot-add call at boot time.  This
was cause of strange fail message of memory hotplug like "ACPI: add_memory
failed".  Memory is recognized by early boot code with EFI/E820.

But, if DSDT describes memory devices for them, then hot-add code is called
for already recognized memory, and it shows fail messages with -EEXIST.
So, sys admin will misunderstand this message as something wrong by it.

completion of driver initialization.

[PATCH] Change log level of a message of acpi_memhotplug to KERN_DEBUG

I suppose this message seems quite useless except debugging.  It just shows
"Hotplug Mem Device".  System admin can't know anything by this message.
So, I would like to change it to KERN_DEBUG.

[PATCH] fix "ACPI: Processor native C-states using MWAIT"

This patch breaks C-state discovery on my IBM IntelliStation Z30 because
the return value of acpi_processor_get_power_info_fadt is not assigned to
"result" in the case that acpi_processor_get_power_info_cst returns
-ENODEV.  Thus, if ACPI provides C-state data via the FADT and not _CST (as
is the case on this machine), we incorrectly exit the function with -ENODEV
after reading the FADT.  The attached patch sets the value of result so
that we don't exit early.

[PATCH] uml: use DEFCONFIG_LIST to avoid reading host's config

This should make sure that, for UML, host's configuration files are not
considered, which avoids various pains to the user.  Our dependency are such
that the obtained Kconfig will be valid and will lead to successful
compilation - however they cannot prevent an user from disabling any boot
device, and if an option is not set in the read .config (say
/boot/config-XXX), with make menuconfig ARCH=um, it is not set.  This always
disables UBD and all console I/O channels, which leads to non-working UML
kernels, so this bothers users - especially now, since it will happen on
almost every machine (/boot/config-`uname -r` exists almost on every machine).
 It can be workarounded with make defconfig ARCH=um, but it is non-obvious and
can be avoided, so please _do_ merge this patch.

Given the existence of options, it could be interesting to implement
(additionally) "option required" - with it, Kconfig will refuse reading a
.config file (from wherever it comes) if the given option is not set.  With
this, one could mark with it the option characteristic of the given
architecture (it was an old proposal of Roman Zippel, when I pointed out our
problem):

config UML
option required
default y

However this should be further discussed:
*) for x86, it must support constructs like:

==arch/i386/Kconfig==
config 64BIT
option required
default n
where Kconfig must require that CONFIG_64BIT is disabled or not present in the
read .config.

*) do we want to do such checks only for the starting defconfig or also for
   .config? Which leads to:
*) I may want to port a x86_64 .config to x86 and viceversa, or even among more
   different archs. Should that be allowed, and in which measure (the user may
   force skipping the check for a .config or it is only given a warning by
   default)?

Separate out the concept of "queue congestion" from "backing-dev congestion".
Congestion is a backing-dev concept, not a queue concept.

The blk_* congestion functions are retained, as wrappers around the core
backing-dev congestion functions.

This proper layering is needed so that NFS can cleanly use the congestion
functions, and so that CONFIG_BLOCK=n actually links.
