Provide a way to reset an existing counter - this eases PAPI
libraries around perfcounters.
Similar to read() it doesn't collapse pending child counters.

Keep data_head up-to-date irrespective of notifications. This fixes
the case where you disable a counter and don't get a notification for
the last few pending events, and it also allows polling usage.

Fixed-purpose counters stopped working in a simple 'perf stat ls' run:
<not counted> cache references
<not counted> cache misses
Due to:
ef7b3e0: perf_counter, x86: remove vendor check in fixed_mode_idx()
Which made x86_pmu.num_counters_fixed matter: if it's nonzero, the
fixed-purpose counters are utilized.
But on v2 perfmon this field is not set (despite there being
fixed-purpose PMCs). So add a quirk to set the number of fixed-purpose
counters to at least three.

Now percpu counters can be initialized very early. But the init
sequence uses mutex_lock(). Fortunately, perf_resource_mutex should
be a spinlock anyway, so convert it.

percpu scheduling for perfcounters wants to take the context lock,
but that lock first needs to be initialized. Currently it is an
early_initcall() - but that is too late, the task tick runs much
sooner than that.
Call it explicitly from the scheduler init sequence instead.

When two (or more) contexts output to the same buffer, it is possible
to observe half written output.
Suppose we have CPU0 doing perf_counter_mmap(), CPU1 doing
perf_counter_overflow(). If CPU1 does a wakeup and exposes head to
user-space, then CPU2 can observe the data CPU0 is still writing.

A regression was introduced in hg changeset 33810c734a0d, which resulted in
a kernel panic whenever the device was disconnected from USB. The call to
4l2_device_register() was overwriting the pointer for usb_set_intfdata(), so
when au0828_usb_disconnect() was called, the usb_get_intfdata() returned a
pointer to the v4l2_device instead of the au0828_dev structure.

Currently drivers/media drivers are linked very early - directly after
base, block, misc, and mfd and before ata, scsi, ide, input, firewire,
usb, and i2c. This breaks static build of video4linux drivers, that use
generic CPU i2c adapter drivers and the v4l2-subdev subsystem, because
during video4linux probing the v4l2-subdev core requires a struct
i2c_adapter context, which cannot be satisfied before the i2c subsystem is
initialised. Moving drivers/media after drivers/i2c fixes this problem.
The best way to trigger action is by submitting a patch:-) So, let's see
what comes out of it - on the one hand I don't see any reason why media
has to be linked this early, and nobody was able to give me one yesterday
as this problem has been discussed on linux-media, OTOH, maybe indeed it
would be better to move i2c the whole way up above media, but that'd be
much bigger of a change, I think.

After experimenting with kexec with the last merges after 2.6.29, I've
had some problems when probing e100. It would not read the eeprom. After
some bisects, I realized this has been like that since forever (at least
2.6.18). The problem is that shutdown is doing the same thing that
suspend does and puts the device in D3 state. I couldn't find a way to
get the device back to a sane state in the probe function. So, based on
some similar patches from Rafael J. Wysocki for e1000, e1000e, and ixgbe,
I wrote this one for e100.

The Bluetooth 2.1 specification introduced four different security modes
that can be mapped using Legacy Pairing and Simple Pairing. With the
usage of Simple Pairing it is required that all connections (except
the ones for SDP) are encrypted. So even the low security requirement
mandates an encrypted connection when using Simple Pairing. When using
Legacy Pairing (for Bluetooth 2.0 devices and older) this is not required
since it causes interoperability issues.
To support this properly the low security requirement translates into
different host controller transactions depending if Simple Pairing is
supported or not. However in case of Simple Pairing the command to
switch on encryption after a successful authentication is not triggered
for the low security mode. This patch fixes this and actually makes
the logic to differentiate between Simple Pairing and Legacy Pairing
a lot simpler.

The Bluetooth stack uses a reference counting for all established ACL
links and if no user (L2CAP connection) is present, the link will be
terminated to save power. The problem part is the dedicated pairing
when using Legacy Pairing (Bluetooth 2.0 and before). At that point
no user is present and pairing attempts will be disconnected within
10 seconds or less. In previous kernel version this was not a problem
since the disconnect timeout wasn't triggered on incoming connections
for the first time. However this caused issues with broken host stacks
that kept the connections around after dedicated pairing. When the
support for Simple Pairing got added, the link establishment procedure
needed to be changed and now causes issues when using Legacy Pairing
When using Simple Pairing it is possible to do a proper reference
counting of ACL link users. With Legacy Pairing this is not possible
since the specification is unclear in some areas and too many broken
Bluetooth devices have already been deployed. So instead of trying to
deal with all the broken devices, a special pairing timeout will be
introduced that increases the timeout to 60 seconds when pairing is
triggered.
If a broken devices now puts the stack into an unforeseen state, the
worst that happens is the disconnect timeout triggers after 120 seconds
instead of 4 seconds. This allows successful pairings with legacy and
broken devices now.

The x_tables are organized with a table structure and a per-cpu copies
of the counters and rules. On older kernels there was a reader/writer
lock per table which was a performance bottleneck. In 2.6.30-rc, this
was converted to use RCU and the counters/rules which solved the performance
problems for do_table but made replacing rules much slower because of
the necessary RCU grace period.
This version uses a per-cpu set of spinlocks and counters to allow to
table processing to proceed without the cache thrashing of a global
reader lock and keeps the same performance for table updates.

In 2.6.25 we added UDP mem accounting.
This unfortunatly added a penalty when a frame is transmitted, since
we have at TX completion time to call sock_wfree() to perform necessary
memory accounting. This calls sock_def_write_space() and utimately
scheduler if any thread is waiting on the socket.
Thread(s) waiting for an incoming frame was scheduled, then had to sleep
again as event was meaningless.
(All threads waiting on a socket are using same sk_sleep anchor)
This adds lot of extra wakeups and increases latencies, as noted
by Christoph Lameter, and slows down softirq handler.
Reference : http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=124060437012283&w=2
Fortunatly, Davide Libenzi recently added concept of keyed wakeups
into kernel, and particularly for sockets (see commit
37e5540b3c9d838eb20f2ca8ea2eb8072271e403
epoll keyed wakeups: make sockets use keyed wakeups)
Davide goal was to optimize epoll, but this new wakeup infrastructure
can help non epoll users as well, if they care to setup an appropriate
handler.
This patch introduces new DEFINE_WAIT_FUNC() helper and uses it
in wait_for_packet(), so that only relevant event can wakeup a thread
blocked in this function.
Trace of function calls from bnx2 TX completion bnx2_poll_work() is :
__kfree_skb()
skb_release_head_state()
sock_wfree()
sock_def_write_space()
__wake_up_sync_key()
__wake_up_common()
receiver_wake_function() : Stops here since thread is waiting for an INPUT

Right now we have no upper limit on the size of the route cache hash table.
On a 128GB POWER6 box it ends up as 32MB:
IP route cache hash table entries: 4194304 (order: 9, 33554432 bytes)
It would be nice to cap this for memory consumption reasons, but a massive
hashtable also causes a significant spike when measuring OS jitter.
With a 32MB hashtable and 4 million entries, rt_worker_func is taking
5 ms to complete. On another system with more memory it's taking 14 ms.
Even though rt_worker_func does call cond_sched() to limit its impact,
in an HPC environment we want to keep all sources of OS jitter to a minimum.
With the patch applied we limit the number of entries to 512k which
can still be overriden by using the rt_entries boot option:
IP route cache hash table entries: 524288 (order: 6, 4194304 bytes)
With this patch rt_worker_func now takes 0.460 ms on the same system.

isdn: document Kernel CAPI driver interface
Create a file Documentation/isdn/INTERFACE.CAPI describing the
interface between the kernel CAPI subsystem and ISDN device drivers,
analogous to the existing Documentation/isdn/INTERFACE for the old
isdn4linux subsystem. Also add kerneldoc comments to the exported
functions in drivers/isdn/capi/kcapi.c.
