04e715cd46 iwmc3200wifi: Add a last_fw_err debugfs entry
In order to check what was the last fw error we got accross resets, we add
this debugfs entry. It displays the complete ASSERT information.

d210176eaa iwmc3200wifi: Handle UMAC stalls and UMAC assert properly
When UMAC stalls or asserts, we want to reset the device. But when we're
associated, the current reset worker will end up calling
cfg80211_connect_result() with the cfg80211 sme layer knowing that we're
reassociating. That ends up with some ugly warnings.
With this patch we're telling the upper layer that we've roamed if
reassociation succeeds, and that we're disconnected if it fails.

d04bd6283c iwmc3200wifi: New initial LMAC calibration
The LMAC calibration API got broken mostly by having a configuration bitmap
being different than the result one.
This patch tries to address that issue by correctly running calibrations with
the newest firmwares, and keeping a backward compatibility fallback path for
older firmwares, where the configuration and result bitmaps were identical.

c743627388 iwmc3200wifi: add disconnect work
When the driver receives "connection terminated" event from device,
it could be caused by 2 reasons: the firmware is roaming or the
connection is lost (AP disappears). For the former, an association
complete event is supposed to come within 3 seconds. For the latter,
the driver won't receive any event except the connection terminated.
So we kick a delayed work (5*HZ) when we receive the connection
terminated event. It will be canceled if it turns out to be a roaming
event later. Otherwise we notify SME and userspace the disconnection.

395913d0b1 [CPUFREQ] remove rwsem lock from CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP call (second call site)
remove rwsem lock from CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP call (second call site)

commit	42a06f2166

Missed a call site for CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP to remove the rwlock taken around the
teardown. To make a long story short, the rwlock write-lock causes a circular
dependency with cancel_delayed_work_sync(), because the timer handler takes the
read lock.

Note that all callers to __cpufreq_set_policy are taking the rwsem. All sysfs
callers (writers) hold the write rwsem at the earliest sysfs calling stage.

However, the rwlock write-lock is not needed upon governor stop.

0e625ac153 [CPUFREQ] ondemand - Use global sysfs dir for tuning settings
Ondemand has only global variables for userspace tunings via sysfs.
But they were exposed per CPU which wrongly implies to the user that
his settings are applied per cpu. Also locking sysfs against concurrent
access won't be necessary anymore after deprecation time.

This means the ondemand config dir is moved:
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/ondemand ->
     /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/ondemand

The old files will still exist, but reading or writing to them will
result in one (printk_once) deprecation msg to syslog per file.

Currently everything in the cpufreq layer is per core based.
This does not reflect reality, for example ondemand on conservative
governors have global sysfs variables.

Introduce a global cpufreq directory and add the kobject to the governor
struct, so that governors can easily access it.
The directory is initialized in the cpufreq_core_init initcall and thus will
always be created if cpufreq is compiled in, even if no cpufreq driver is
active later.

Below is a patch that distinguishes one from the other.

-----------------------------------------
Update description for "cpuinfo_cur_freq" and "scaling_cur_freq".

Some of the wording is drawn from comments found in
./drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c: cpufreq_out_of_sync():

 *      @old_freq: CPU frequency the kernel thinks the CPU runs at
 *      @new_freq: CPU frequency the CPU actually runs at

ce6c3997c2 [CPUFREQ] Re-enable cpufreq suspend and resume code
Commit 4bc5d34135 is broken and causes regressions:

(1) cpufreq_driver->resume() and ->suspend() were only called on
__powerpc__, but you could set them on all architectures. In fact,
->resume() was defined and used before the PPC-related commit
42d4dc3f4e complained about in 4bc5d34135.

(2) Therfore, the resume functions in acpi_cpufreq and speedstep-smi
would never be called.

(3) This means speedstep-smi would be unusuable after suspend or resume.

The _real_ problem was calling cpufreq_driver->get() with interrupts
off, but it re-enabling interrupts on some platforms. Why is ->get()
necessary?

Some systems like to change the CPU frequency behind our
back, especially during BIOS-intensive operations like suspend or
resume. If such systems also use a CPU frequency-dependant timing loop,
delays might be off by large factors. Therefore, we need to ascertain
as soon as possible that the CPU frequency is indeed at the speed we
think it is. You can do this two ways: either setting it anew, or trying
to get it. The latter is what was done, the former also has the same IRQ
issue.

So, let's try something different: defer the checking to after interrupts
are re-enabled, by calling cpufreq_update_policy() (via schedule_work()).
Timings may be off until this later stage, so let's watch out for
resume regressions caused by the deferred handling of frequency changes
behind the kernel's back.

acde31dc46 kmemleak: Ignore the aperture memory hole on x86_64
This block is allocated with alloc_bootmem() and scanned by kmemleak but
the kernel direct mapping may no longer exist. This patch tells kmemleak
to ignore this memory hole. The dma32_bootmem_ptr in
dma32_reserve_bootmem() is also ignored.

6fa12c8503 Revert Backoff [v3]: Calculate TCP's connection close threshold as a time value.
RFC 1122 specifies two threshold values R1 and R2 for connection timeouts,
which may represent a number of allowed retransmissions or a timeout value.
Currently linux uses sysctl_tcp_retries{1,2} to specify the thresholds
in number of allowed retransmissions.

For any desired threshold R2 (by means of time) one can specify tcp_retries2
(by means of number of retransmissions) such that TCP will not time out
earlier than R2. This is the case, because the RTO schedule follows a fixed
pattern, namely exponential backoff.

However, the RTO behaviour is not predictable any more if RTO backoffs can be
reverted, as it is the case in the draft
"Make TCP more Robust to Long Connectivity Disruptions"
(http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-zimmermann-tcp-lcd).

In the worst case TCP would time out a connection after 3.2 seconds, if the
initial RTO equaled MIN_RTO and each backoff has been reverted.

This patch introduces a function retransmits_timed_out(N),
which calculates the timeout of a TCP connection, assuming an initial
RTO of MIN_RTO and N unsuccessful, exponentially backed-off retransmissions.

Whenever timeout decisions are made by comparing the retransmission counter
to some value N, this function can be used, instead.

The meaning of tcp_retries2 will be changed, as many more RTO retransmissions
can occur than the value indicates. However, it yields a timeout which is
similar to the one of an unpatched, exponentially backing off TCP in the same
scenario. As no application could rely on an RTO greater than MIN_RTO, there
should be no risk of a regression.

f1ecd5d9e7 Revert Backoff [v3]: Revert RTO on ICMP destination unreachable
Here, an ICMP host/network unreachable message, whose payload fits to
TCP's SND.UNA, is taken as an indication that the RTO retransmission has
not been lost due to congestion, but because of a route failure
somewhere along the path.
With true congestion, a router won't trigger such a message and the
patched TCP will operate as standard TCP.

This patch reverts one RTO backoff, if an ICMP host/network unreachable
message, whose payload fits to TCP's SND.UNA, arrives.
Based on the new RTO, the retransmission timer is reset to reflect the
remaining time, or - if the revert clocked out the timer - a retransmission
is sent out immediately.
Backoffs are only reverted, if TCP is in RTO loss recovery, i.e. if
there have been retransmissions and reversible backoffs, already.

Changes from v2:
1) Renaming of skb in tcp_v4_err() moved to another patch.
2) Reintroduced tcp_bound_rto() and __tcp_set_rto().
3) Fixed code comments.

ade315d83c sh: Kill off kgdb's magical NMI debouncing.
The kgdb stub has traditionally tied in to the NMI slot, and manually
handled debounce. Now that we have a generic way to do this instead, all
of the stub-specific debounce silliness can be killed off.

1e1030dccb sh: nmi_debug support.
This implements support for NMI debugging that was shamelessly copied
from the avr32 port. A bit of special magic is needed in the interrupt
exception path given that the NMI exception handler is stubbed in to the
regular exception handling table despite being reported in INTEVT. So we
mangle the lookup and kick off an EXPEVT-style exception dispatch from
the INTEVT path for exceptions that do_IRQ() has no chance of handling.
As a result, we also drop the evt2irq() conversion from the do_IRQ() path
and just do it in assembly.
