The current code does not follow Intel documentation: It misses some things
and does other, undocumented things. This causes wrong backlight values in
certain conditions. Instead of adding tricky code handling badly documented
and rare corner cases, don't handle combination mode specially at all. This
way PCI_LBPC is never touched and weird things shouldn't happen.
If combination mode is enabled, then the only downside is that changing the
brightness has a greater granularity (the LBPC value), but LBPC is at most
254 and the maximum is in the thousands, so this is no real functional loss.
A potential problem with not handling combined mode is that a brightness of
max * PCI_LBPC is not bright enough. However, this is very unlikely because
from the documentation LBPC seems to act as a scaling factor and doesn't look
like it's supposed to be changed after boot. The value at boot should always
result in a bright enough screen.
IMPORTANT: However, although usually the above is true, it may not be when
people ran an older (2.6.37) kernel which messed up the LBPC register, and
they are unlucky enough to have a BIOS that saves and restores the LBPC value.
Then a good kernel may seem to not work: Max brightness isn't bright enough.
If this happens people should boot back into the old kernel, set brightness
to the maximum, and then reboot. After that everything should be fine.

We force particular alignment when we generate attribute structures
when generation MODULE_VERSION() data and we need to make sure that
this alignment is followed when we iterate over these structures,
otherwise we may crash on platforms whose natural alignment is not
sizeof(void *), such as m68k.

There is no need to install a chained handler for this hardware. This
is a plain x86 IOAPIC interrupt which is handled by the core code
perfectly fine. There is nothing special about demultiplexing these
gpio interrupts which justifies a custom hack. Replace it by a plain
old interrupt handler installed with request_irq. That makes the code
agnostic about the underlying primary interrupt hardware. The overhead
for this is minimal, but it gives us the advantage of accounting,
balancing and to detect interrupt storms. gpio interrupts are not
really that performance critical.

The lower filesystem may do some type of inode revalidation during a
getattr call. eCryptfs should take advantage of that by copying the
lower inode attributes to the eCryptfs inode after a call to
vfs_getattr() on the lower inode.
I originally wrote this fix while working on eCryptfs on nfsv3 support,
but discovered it also fixed an eCryptfs on ext4 nanosecond timestamp
bug that was reported.

read() calls against a file descriptor connected to a directory are
incorrectly returning EINVAL rather than EISDIR:
[EISDIR]
[XSI] [Option Start] The fildes argument refers to a directory and the
implementation does not allow the directory to be read using read()
or pread(). The readdir() function should be used instead. [Option End]
This occurs because we do not have a .read operation defined for
ecryptfs directories. Connect this up to generic_read_dir().

We need to delay freeing any mapped page on SMP and ARMv7 systems to
ensure that the data is not accessed by other CPUs, or is used for
speculative prefetch with ARMv7. This includes not only mapped pages
but also pages used for the page tables themselves.
This avoids races with the MMU/other CPUs accessing pages after they've
been freed but before we've invalidated the TLB.

Commit 18991197b4b588255ccabf472ebc84db7b66a19c added --build-id
linker option when toolchain supports it. ARM one does, but for some
reason places the section at 0 when linker script doesn't mention it
explicitly.
The 1e621a8e3752367d4aae78a8ab00a18fb2793f34 worked around the problem
removing this section from binary image with explicit objcopy options,
but it still exists in vmlinux, confusing tools like debuggers and perf.
This problem was discussed here:
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2010-May/015994.html
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2010-May/015994.html
but the proposed changes to the linker script were substantial.
This patch simply places NOTES (36 bytes long, at least when compiled
with CodeSourcery toolchain) between data and bss, which seem to be
the right place (and suggested by the sample linker script in
include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h).
It is enough to place it correctly in vmlinux (so debuggers are happy):

broadcasted operation
On versions of the Cortex-A9 prior to r3p0, an interrupted ICIALLUIS
operation may prevent the completion of a following broadcasted
operation if the second operation is received by a CPU before the
ICIALLUIS has completed, potentially leading to corrupted entries in
the cache or TLB.
This workaround sets a bit in the diagnostic register of the Cortex-A9,
causing CP15 maintenance operations to be uninterruptible.

Now that we can execute a CONFIG_SMP kernel on a uniprocessor system,
extra care has to be taken in the PMU IRQ affinity setting code to
ensure that we don't always fail to initialise.
This patch changes the CPU PMU initialisation code so that when we
only have a single IRQ, whose affinity can not be changed at the
controller, we report success (0) rather than -EINVAL.

The effect of cache sync operation is to drain the store buffer and
wait for all internal buffers to be empty. In normal conditions, store
buffer is able to merge the normal memory writes within its 32-byte
data buffers. Due to this erratum present in r3p0, the effect of cache
sync operation on the store buffer still remains when the operation
completes. This means that the store buffer is always asked to drain
and this prevents it from merging any further writes.
This can severely affect performance on the write traffic esp. on
Normal memory NC one.
The proposed workaround is to replace the normal offset of cache sync
operation(0x730) by another offset targeting an unmapped PL310
register 0x740.
