c91ef59861 [POWERPC] More DCR native fixups
Getting BenH's new EMAC driver working on 440GP, I found some more
problems in the native mode paths of the new DCR code:
	- dcr_map() is supposed to return a dcr_host_t, but the native
version is a macro that doesn't expand to an expression.  With native
DCRs, dcr_host_t is an empty structure, so we just use a constructor
expression instead.
	- dcr_unmap() uses {} instead of the safer do {} while (0)
idiom to implement a no-op

Here's a fix.

7de970e11f sata_vsc: use default cache line size if non-zero
This modifies drivers/ata/sata_vsc.c to only set the cache line size
to 0x80 if the default value is zero. Apparently zero isn't allowed
due to a bug in the chip, but I've found performance is much better
with the (non-zero) default instead of 0x80.

5387373bfe sata_promise: new EH conversion for 20619 chips, take 2
This patch updates the sata_promise driver to use new-style
libata error handling for 20619 (TX4000) chips. sata_promise
already uses new EH for the other chips it supports, so the
patch is quite simple:

* remove ->phy_reset and ->eng_timeout ops from pdc_pata_ops,
  and instead bind ->freeze, ->thaw, ->error_handler, and
  ->post_internal_cmd to existing new EH functions
* drop ATA_FLAG_SRST from board_20619's flags
* remove now unused pdc_pata_phy_reset() and pdc_eng_timeout()

Tested on a TX4000 with both modern working disks and old/quirky
disks. Also used a CD-RW drive to test reading and writing CDs.

5f7748cf91 Execute AML Notify() requests on stack.
HP nx6125/nx6325/... machines have a _GPE handler with an infinite
loop sending Notify() events to different ACPI subsystems.

The notify handler in the ACPI thermal driver is a C-routine,
which may invoke the ACPI interpreter again to get access
to some ACPI variables such as temperature.  (acpi_evaluate_xxx)
On these HP machines such an evaluation changes state of an ASL variable
and lets the loop above break.

In the current ACPI implementation, Notify requests are being deferred
to the same kacpid workqueue on which the above GPE handler with
infinite loop is executing. Thus we have a deadlock -- loop will
continue to spin, sending notify events, and at the same time
preventing these notify events from being run on a workqueue. All
notify events are deferred, thus we see explosion in memory consumption.

Also as GPE handling is blocked, machines overheat because ACPI-based
fan control is stalled.  Eventually by external poll of the same
acpi_evaluate, kacpid is released and all the queued notify events are
free to run, thus 100% CPU utilization by kacpid for several seconds
or more.

To prevent this failure,  Linux must not send notify events to the
kacpid workqueue -- either executing them immediately or putting them
on some other thread.

The first attempt to create a new thread was done by Peter Wainwright
He created a bunch of threads, which were stealing work from a kacpid
workqueue.
This patch appeared in 2.6.15-based kernel shipped with Ubuntu 6.06 LTS.

Second attempt was done by Alexey Starikovskiy, who created a new thread
for each Notify event. This worked OK on HP nx machines,
but broke Linus' Compaq n620c, by producing threads with a speed what
they stopped the machine completely.
Thus this patch was reverted from 2.6.18-rc2.

Alexey re-made the patch to create second workqueue just for notify events,
thus hopping it will not break Linus' machine. Patch was tested on the
same HP nx machines in #5534 and #7122, but this broke Linus' machine
also and was reverted from 2.6.19-rc with much fanfair.

The 4th patch inserted schedule_timeout(1) into deferred
execution of kacpid, if we had any notify requests pending, but Linus
decided that it was too complex (involved either changes to workqueue
to see if it's empty or atomic inc/dec).  Then a 5th attempt did a
yield() to every GPE execution.

Finally, this 6th generation patch simply executes the notify handler
on the stack.  Previous attempts to do this simple solution failed
because of issues in AML mutex re-entrancy which are now fixed
by the previous patch in this series.

c0d127b569 ACPICA: fix AML mutex re-entrancy
ACPI AML supports "serialized" methods which are protected
by an implicit mutex.  The mutex is re-entrant for that AML thread
to allow recursion.

However, Linux implements notify() by creating a new AML thread.
So for systems where notify() re-enters a serialized method,
deadlock results.

The fix is to use the Linux thread_id as the key to allowing
re-entrancy, not the AML thread pointer.

2b8c0e1302 [CPUFREQ] Longhaul - Redo Longhaul ver. 2
Start using v2 version of Longhaul when available. It provides
voltage scaling and can use ACPI C3 state. That's curious. CPU
will not change frequency on ACPI C3 when v1 is in use, but it will
when v2 is used. Driver will return max frequency all the time if
this isn't true for all processors. There is strange thing with
mobile voltage. Looks like only Nehemiah (C3-M) supports it.
Earlier processors have different mobile VRM (in docs), but I can't
find any which is using it. Looks like all are using VRM 8.5. So
fail for non Nehemiah with mobile VRM.

86a71dbd3e [PATCH] sysctl: hide the sysctl proc inodes from selinux
Since the security checks are applied on each read and write of a sysctl file,
just like they are applied when calling sys_sysctl, they are redundant on the
standard VFS constructs.  Since it is difficult to compute the security labels
on the standard VFS constructs we just mark the sysctl inodes in proc private
so selinux won't even bother with them.

bbaca6c2e7 [PATCH] selinux: enhance selinux to always ignore private inodes
Hmmm...turns out to not be quite enough, as the /proc/sys inodes aren't truly
private to the fs, so we can run into them in a variety of security hooks
beyond just the inode hooks, such as security_file_permission (when reading
and writing them via the vfs helpers), security_sb_mount (when mounting other
filesystems on directories in proc like binfmt_misc), and deeper within the
security module itself (as in flush_unauthorized_files upon inheritance across
execve).  So I think we have to add an IS_PRIVATE() guard within SELinux, as
below.  Note however that the use of the private flag here could be confusing,
as these inodes are _not_ private to the fs, are exposed to userspace, and
security modules must implement the sysctl hook to get any access control over
them.

77b14db502 [PATCH] sysctl: reimplement the sysctl proc support
With this change the sysctl inodes can be cached and nothing needs to be done
when removing a sysctl table.

For a cost of 2K code we will save about 4K of static tables (when we remove
de from ctl_table) and 70K in proc_dir_entries that we will not allocate, or
about half that on a 32bit arch.

The speed feels about the same, even though we can now cache the sysctl
dentries :(

We get the core advantage that we don't need to have a 1 to 1 mapping between
ctl table entries and proc files.  Making it possible to have /proc/sys vary
depending on the namespace you are in.  The currently merged namespaces don't
have an issue here but the network namespace under /proc/sys/net needs to have
different directories depending on which network adapters are visible.  By
simply being a cache different directories being visible depending on who you
are is trivial to implement.

doing directory reads.  To use the existing data structures however I need a

0b4d414714 [PATCH] sysctl: remove insert_at_head from register_sysctl
The semantic effect of insert_at_head is that it would allow new registered
sysctl entries to override existing sysctl entries of the same name.  Which is
pain for caching and the proc interface never implemented.

I have done an audit and discovered that none of the current users of
register_sysctl care as (excpet for directories) they do not register
duplicate sysctl entries.

So this patch simply removes the support for overriding existing entries in
the sys_sysctl interface since no one uses it or cares and it makes future
enhancments harder.

ae83681026 [PATCH] sysctl: remove support for directory strategy routines
parse_table has support for calling a strategy routine when descending into a
directory.  To date no one has used this functionality and the /proc/sys
interface has no analog to it.

So no one is using this functionality kill it and make the binary sysctl code
easier to follow.

6703ddfcce [PATCH] sysctl: remove support for CTL_ANY
There are currently no users in the kernel for CTL_ANY and it only has effect
on the binary interface which is practically unused.

So this complicates sysctl lookups for no good reason so just remove it.

2abc26fc6b [PATCH] sysctl: create sys/fs/binfmt_misc as an ordinary sysctl entry
binfmt_misc has a mount point in the middle of the sysctl and that mount point
is created as a proc_generic directory.

Doing it that way gets in the way of cleaning up the sysctl proc support as it
continues the existence of a horrible hack.  So instead simply create the
directory as an ordinary sysctl directory.  At least that removes the magic
special case.
