71a9048448 include/linux/kernel.h: abs(): fix handling of 32-bit unsigneds on 64-bit
Michal reports:

In the framebuffer subsystem the abs() macro is often used as a part of
the calculation of a Manhattan metric, which in turn is used as a measure
of similarity between video modes.  The arguments of abs() are sometimes
unsigned numbers.  This worked fine until commit a49c59c0 ("Make sure the
value in abs() does not get truncated if it is greater than 2^32:) , which
changed the definition of abs() to prevent truncation.  As a result of
this change, in the following piece of code:

u32 a = 0, b = 1;
u32 c = abs(a - b);

'c' will end up with a value of 0xffffffff instead of the expected 0x1.

A problem caused by this change and visible by the end user is that
framebuffer drivers relying on functions from modedb.c will fail to find
high resolution video modes similar to that explicitly requested by the
user if an exact match cannot be found (see e.g.

Fix this by special-casing `long' types within abs().

This patch reduces x86_64 code size a bit - drivers/video/uvesafb.o shrunk
by 15 bytes, presumably because it is doing abs() on 4-byte quantities,
and expanding those to 8-byte longs adds code.

testcase:

#define oldabs(x) ({				\
		long __x = (x);			\
		(__x < 0) ? -__x : __x;		\
	})

#define newabs(x) ({						\
		long ret;					\
		if (sizeof(x) == sizeof(long)) {		\
			long __x = (x);				\
			ret = (__x < 0) ? -__x : __x;		\
		} else {					\
			int __x = (x);				\
			ret = (__x < 0) ? -__x : __x;		\
		}						\
		ret;						\
	})

typedef unsigned int u32;

main()
{
	u32 a = 0;
	u32 b = 1;
	u32 oldc = oldabs(a - b);
	u32 newc = newabs(a - b);

	printf("%u %u\n", oldc, newc);
}

3e5c12409c set_rtc_mmss: show warning message only once
Occasionally the system gets into a state where the CMOS clock has gotten
slightly ahead of current time and the periodic update of RTC fails.  The
message is a nuisance and repeats spamming the log.

  See: http://www.ntp.org/ntpfaq/NTP-s-trbl-spec.htm#Q-LINUX-SET-RTC-MMSS

Rather than just removing the message, make it show only once and reduce
severity since it indicates a normal and non urgent condition.

04c6862c05 kmsg_dump: add kmsg_dump() calls to the reboot, halt, poweroff and emergency_restart paths
We need to know the reason why system rebooted in support service.
However, we can't inform our customers of the reason because final
messages are lost on current Linux kernel.

This patch improves the situation above because the final messages are
saved by adding kmsg_dump() to reboot, halt, poweroff and
emergency_restart path.

fc2d557c74 kmsg_dump: constrain mtdoops and ramoops to perform their actions only for KMSG_DUMP_PANIC
This series aims to develop logging facility for enterprise use.

It is important to save kernel messages reliably on enterprise system
because they are helpful for diagnosing system.

This series add kmsg_dump() to the paths loosing kernel messages.  The use
case is the following.

[Use case of reboot/poweroff/halt/emergency_restart]

 My company has often experienced the followings in our support service.
 - Customer's system suddenly reboots.
 - Customers ask us to investigate the reason of the reboot.

We recognize the fact itself because boot messages remain in
/var/log/messages.  However, we can't investigate the reason why the
system rebooted, because the last messages don't remain.  And off course
we can't explain the reason.

We can solve above problem with this patch as follows.

 Case1: reboot with command
   - We can see "Restarting system with command:" or ""Restarting system.".

 Case2: halt with command
   - We can see "System halted.".

 Case3: poweroff with command
   - We can see " Power down.".

 Case4: emergency_restart with sysrq.
   - We can see "Sysrq:" outputted in __handle_sysrq().

 Case5: emergency_restart with softdog.
   - We can see "Initiating system reboot" in watchdog_fire().

So, we can distinguish the reason of reboot, poweroff, halt and emergency_restart.

If customer executed reboot command, you may think the customer should
know the fact.  However, they often claim they don't execute the command
when they rebooted system by mistake.

No message remains on the current Linux kernel, so we can't show the proof
to the customer.  This patch improves this situation.

This patch:

Alters mtdoops and ramoops to perform their actions only for
KMSG_DUMP_PANIC, KMSG_DUMP_OOPS and KMSG_DUMP_KEXEC because they would
like to log crashes only.

aff5ce6ca8 drivers/video/backlight/l4f00242t03.c: fix reset sequence
The reset command is part of the init sequence and it take effect
only if the lcd is powered.

The effect of the bug was that the sequence:
set lcd power_state to FB_BLANK_POWERDOWN
set lcd power_state to FB_BLANK_UNBLANK
Did not produced a complete reboot of the LCD which was showing fuzzy
colours.

This was not experienced before implementing correctly all the LCD power
states with the patch [1].  Since before the patch [1] the regulators were
not touched and the LCD shutdown was reached with a register write.  After
the patch [1] a complete boot sequence with an initial reset is needed for
the display every time the LCD is powered up.

9f9455ae71 leds: add output inversion option to backlight trigger
Extend the LED backlight tirgger driver with an option that allows for
inverting the trigger output polarity.

With the invertion option provided, I (ab)use the backlight trigger for
driving a LED that indicates LCD display blank condtition on my Amstrad
Delta videophone.  Since the machine has no dedicated power LED, it was
not possible to distinguish if the display was blanked, or the machine was
turned off, without touching it.

The invert sysfs control is patterned after a similiar function of the GPIO
trigger driver.

61a83932b8 leds-lp5521: modify the way of setting led device name
Currently the led device name is fetched from the device_type in
I2C_BOARD_INFO which comes from the platform data.  This name is in turn
used to create an entry in sysfs.

If there exists two or more lp5521 on a particular platform, the
device_type in I2C_BOARD_INFO has to be the same, else lp5521 driver probe
wont be called and if used so, results in run time warning "cannot create
sysfs with same name" and hence a failure.

The name that is used to create sysfs entry is to be passed by the struct
led_platform_data.  Hence adding an element of type const char * and
change in lp5521 driver to use this name in creating the led device if
present else use the name obtained by I2C_BOARD_INFO.

There is no real need to do those operations.  Now all the sysfs entries
are created at probe and removed at removal.  Engine load sysfs entries
are now visible all the time.  However, access to the entries fails if the

d5532ee7b4 tools: create power/x86/x86_energy_perf_policy
MSR_IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS first became available on Westmere Xeon.
It is implemented in all Sandy Bridge processors -- mobile, desktop and server.
It is expected to become increasingly important in subsequent generations.

x86_energy_perf_policy is a user-space utility to set the
hardware energy vs performance policy hint in the processor.
Most systems would benefit from "x86_energy_perf_policy normal"
at system startup, as the hardware default is maximum performance
at the expense of energy efficiency.

See x86_energy_perf_policy.8 man page for more information.

Background:

Linux-2.6.36 added "epb" to /proc/cpuinfo to indicate
if an x86 processor supports MSR_IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS,
without actually modifying the MSR.

In March, 2010, Venkatesh Pallipadi proposed a small driver
that programmed MSR_IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS, based on
the cpufreq governor in use.  It also offered
a boot-time cmdline option to override.
http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/3/4/457
But hiding the hardware policy behind the
governor choice was deemed "kinda icky".

In June, 2010, I proposed a generic user/kernel API to
generalize the power/performance policy trade-off.
"RFC: /sys/power/policy_preference"
http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/6/16/399
That is my preference for implementing this capability,
but I received no support on the list.

So in September, 2010, I sent x86_energy_perf_policy.c to LKML,
a user-space utility that scribbles directly to the MSR.
http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/9/28/246

Here is that same utility, after responding to some review feedback,
to live in tools/power/, where it is easily found.

103a8fea9b tools: create power/x86/turbostat
turbostat is a Linux tool to observe proper operation
of Intel(R) Turbo Boost Technology.

turbostat displays the actual processor frequency
on x86 processors that include APERF and MPERF MSRs.

Note that turbostat is of limited utility on Linux
kernels 2.6.29 and older, as acpi_cpufreq cleared
APERF/MPERF up through that release.

On Intel Core i3/i5/i7 (Nehalem) and newer processors,
turbostat also displays residency in idle power saving states,
which are necessary for diagnosing any cpuidle issues
that may have an effect on turbo-mode.

See the turbostat.8 man page for example usage.

d15eda5c6e i915/gtt: fix ordering causing DMAR errors on object teardown.
Previous to the last GTT rework we always rewrote the GTT then unmapped the
object, somehow this got reversed in the rework in 2.6.37-rc5 timeframe.

This fix needs to go to stable in an alternate form since the code changed.

This fixes DMAR reports on my Ironlake HP2540p.

2f46e07995 netfilter: ebtables: make broute table work again
broute table init hook sets up the "br_should_route_hook" pointer,
which then gets called from br_input.

commit a386f99025
(bridge: add proper RCU annotation to should_route_hook)
introduced a typedef, and then changed this to:

br_should_route_hook_t *rhook;
[..]
rhook = rcu_dereference(br_should_route_hook);
if (*rhook(skb))

problem is that "br_should_route_hook" contains the address of the function,
so calling *rhook() results in kernel panic.

6fe4f14044 drm/i915/execbuffer: Reorder binding of objects to favour restrictions
As the mappable portion of the aperture is always a small subset at the
start of the GTT, it is allocated preferentially by drm_mm. This is
useful in case we ever need to map an object later. However, if you have
a large object that can consume the entire mappable region of the
GTT this prevents the batchbuffer from fitting and so causing an error.
Instead allocate all those that require a mapping up front in order to
improve the likelihood of finding sufficient space to bind them.

809b63349c drm/i915: If we hit OOM when allocating GTT pages, clear the aperture
Rather than evicting an object at random, which is unlikely to alleviate
the memory pressure sufficient to allow us to continue, zap the entire
aperture. That should give the system long enough to recover and reap
some pages from the evicted objects, forestalling the allocation error
for the new object.

13ee6ac579 netfilter: fix race in conntrack between dump_table and destroy
The netlink interface to dump the connection tracking table has a race
when entries are deleted at the same time. A customer reported a crash
and the backtrace showed thatctnetlink_dump_table was running while a
conntrack entry was being destroyed.
(see https://bugzilla.vyatta.com/show_bug.cgi?id=6402).

According to RCU documentation, when using hlist_nulls the reader
must handle the case of seeing a deleted entry and not proceed
further down the linked list.  The old code would continue
which caused the scan to walk into the free list.

This patch uses locking (rather than RCU) for this operation which
is guaranteed safe, and no longer requires getting reference while
doing dump operation.
