Unfortunately, in so doing, it introduced performance regressions in Anton Blanchard's will-it-scale "open1" test. The problem appears to be not so much the increased cond_resched() path length as an increase in the rate at which grace periods complete, which increased per-update grace-period overhead. This commit takes a different approach to fixing this bug, mainly by moving the RCU-visible quiescent state from cond_resched() to rcu_note_context_switch(), and by further reducing the check to a simple non-zero test of a single per-CPU variable. However, this approach requires that the force-quiescent-state processing send resched IPIs to the offending CPUs. These will be sent only once the grace period has reached an age specified by the boot/sysfs parameter rcutree.jiffies_till_sched_qs, or once the grace period reaches an age halfway to the point at which RCU CPU stall warnings will be emitted, whichever comes first.

While this driver handles the first case correctly, it would fail to populate OPPs added at runtime. Because call to of_init_opp_table() would fail as there are no OPPs in DT and probe will return early. To fix this, remove error checking and call dev_pm_opp_init_cpufreq_table() unconditionally.

This behaviour is based on the SYSCLK_SYS_PWR_REG registers. E.g. SYSCLK_MFC_SYS_PWR_REG = 0x0, the parent of input clock to MFC (aclk333) gets modified to oscclk = 0x1, no change in clocks. The recommended value of SYSCLK_SYS_PWR_REG before power gating any domain is 0x0. So we must also restore the clocks while powering on a domain everytime. This patch adds the framework for getting the required mux and parent clocks through a power domain device node. With this patch, while powering off a domain, parent is set to oscclk and while powering back on, its re-set to the correct parent which is as per the recommended pd on/off sequence.

Ever since v2.6.32 the situation is much simpler (eg, mcelog is now needed to process events on almost all x86 machines, i386 and x86-64). Since this "document is designed to provide a list of the minimum levels of software necessary to run the 3.0 kernels" let's just describe that situation.

Moreover, on some systems, it is harmful as it causes deadlocks between the Marvell coherency mechanism, the Marvell PCIe controller and the Cortex-A9. To avoid this, this commit introduces a new Device Tree property 'arm,io-coherent' for the L2 cache controller node, valid only for the PL310 cache. It identifies the usage of the PL310 cache in an I/O coherent configuration. Internally, it makes the driver disable the outer cache sync operation. Note that technically speaking, a fully coherent system wouldn't require any of the other .outer_cache operations. However, in practice, when booting secondary CPUs, these are not yet coherent, and therefore a set of cache maintenance operations are necessary at this point. This explains why we keep the other .outer_cache operations and only ->sync is disabled. While in theory any write to a PL310 register could cause the deadlock, in practice, disabling ->sync is sufficient to workaround the deadlock, since the other cache maintenance operations are only used in very specific situations. Contrary to previous versions of this patch, this new version does not simply NULL-ify the ->sync member, because the l2c_init_data structures are now 'const' and therefore cannot be modified, which is a good thing. Therefore, this patch introduces a separate l2c_init_data instance, called of_l2c310_coherent_data.

Chip select should instead be supported using GPIOs, defining the DT entry "cs-gpios", and letting the SPI core assert/deassert the chip select as it sees fit. The chip select control inside the controller is buggy. It is supposed to automatically assert the chip select based on the activity in the controller, but it is buggy and doesn't work at all. So instead we elect to use GPIOs. Signed-off-by: Andy Gross <agross@codeaurora.org> Signed-off-by: Mark Brown <broonie@linaro.org>

Also, the mute LED control is missing, since 92HD95 codec still has no HP-specific fixups for GPIO setups. This patch adds these missing features: the HPF is adjusted by the vendor-specific verb, and the LED is set up from a DMI string (but with the default polarity = 0 assumption due to the incomplete BIOS on the given machine).

Currently, upon detection of this condition by the per-cpu watchdog task, debug information (including a stack trace) is sent to the system log. On some occasions, we have observed that the "victim" rather than the actual "culprit" (i.e. the owner/holder of the contended resource) is reported to the user. Often this information has proven to be insufficient to assist debugging efforts. To avoid loss of useful debug information, for architectures which support NMI, this patch makes it possible to improve soft lockup reporting. This is accomplished by issuing an NMI to each cpu to obtain a stack trace. If NMI is not supported we just revert back to the old method. A sysctl and boot-time parameter is available to toggle this feature.
