d0176f612f [ARM] 5445/1: AT91: Remove flexible array from USBH platform data
The flexible array in the USBH platform data is not safe to copy.  The
compiler will not allocate any extra memory for the non-init platform
data structure (in the *_devices.c files) since it isn't given any
defaults at compile time.  When the probe function attempts to address
that array, it will actually attempt to access data in an adjacent
structure.

Since there are currently no (known) implementations of the at91 USBH
IP with more than 2 vbus pins, I am capping the value at 2.  If somebody
tries to assign more, then the compiler will produce a warning.

Some cards are not able to calculate a valid CRC16 value
for CID and CSD reads (CRC for 512 byte data blocks is OK).
By moving the CRC enable after the read of CID and CSD, these
cards can be used. This patch was tested with a faulty 8 GByte
takeMS Class 6 SDHC card. This patch was suggested by
Pierre Ossman.

00adadc121 omap_hsmmc: Flush posted write to IRQ
Spurious IRQs seen on MMC after 2.6.29.  Flush posted write in IRQ
handler.

The interrupt line is released by clearing the error status bits
in the MMCHS_STAT register, which must occur before the interrupt
handler returns to avoid unwanted irqs.  Hence the need to flush
the posted write.

6e34eeddf7 block_write_full_page: switch synchronous writes to use WRITE_SYNC_PLUG
Now that we have a distinction between WRITE_SYNC and WRITE_SYNC_PLUG,
use WRITE_SYNC_PLUG in __block_write_full_page() to avoid unplugging
the block device I/O queue between each page that gets flushed out.

Otherwise, when we run sync() or fsync() and we need to write out a
large number of pages, the block device queue will get unplugged
between for every page that is flushed out, which will be a pretty
serious performance regression caused by commit a64c8610.

8f2e586567 posix-timers: fix RLIMIT_CPU && setitimer(CPUCLOCK_PROF)
update_rlimit_cpu() tries to optimize out set_process_cpu_timer() in case
when we already have CPUCLOCK_PROF timer which should expire first. But it
uses cputime_lt() instead of cputime_gt().

Test case:

	int main(void)
	{
		struct itimerval it = {
			.it_value = { .tv_sec = 1000 },
		};

		assert(!setitimer(ITIMER_PROF, &it, NULL));

		struct rlimit rl = {
			.rlim_cur = 1,
			.rlim_max = 1,
		};

		assert(!setrlimit(RLIMIT_CPU, &rl));

		for (;;)
			;

		return 0;
	}

Without this patch, the task is not killed as RLIMIT_CPU demands.

6279a751fe posix-timers: fix RLIMIT_CPU && fork()
See http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12911

copy_signal() copies signal->rlim, but RLIMIT_CPU is "lost". Because
posix_cpu_timers_init_group() sets cputime_expires.prof_exp = 0 and thus
fastpath_timer_check() returns false unless we have other expired cpu timers.

Change copy_signal() to set cputime_expires.prof_exp if we have RLIMIT_CPU.
Also, set cputimer.running = 1 in that case. This is not strictly necessary,
but imho makes sense.

db954b5898 x86 ACPI: Add support for Always Running APIC timer
Add support for Always Running APIC timer, CPUID_0x6_EAX_Bit2.
This bit means the APIC timer continues to run even when CPU is
in deep C-states.

The advantage is that we can use LAPIC timer on these CPUs
always, and there is no need for "slow to read and program"
external timers (HPET/PIT) and the timer broadcast logic
and related code in C-state entry and exit.
