With tickless kernel and software coordination os P-states, ondemand
can look at wrong idle statistics. This can happen when ondemand sampling
is happening on CPU 0 and due to software coordination sampling also looks at
utilization of CPU 1. If CPU 1 is in tickless state at that moment, its idle
statistics will not be uptodate and CPU 0 thinks CPU 1 is idle for less
amount of time than it actually is.
This can be resolved by looking at all the busy times of CPUs, which is
accurate, even with tickless, and use that to determine idle time in a
round about way (total time - busy time).
Thanks to Arjan for originally reporting the ondemand bug on
Lenovo T61.

Visualize-EG, Graffiti and A4450A graphics cards on PARISC can
be configured in double-buffer and standard mode, but the stifb
driver supports standard mode only.
This patch detects double-buffered cards more reliable.
It is a real bugfix for a very nasty problem for all parisc users which have
wrongly configured their graphic card. The problem: The stifb graphics driver
will not detect that the card is wrongly configured and then nevertheless just
enables the graphics mode, which it shouldn't. In the end, the user will see
no further updates / boot messages on the screen.
We had documented this problem already on our FAQ
(http://parisc-linux.org/faq/index.html#viseg "Why do I get corrupted graphics
with my Vis-EG/Graffiti/A4450A card?") but people still run into this problem.
So having this fix in as early as possible can help us.

My "slices" address space management code that was added in 2.6.22
implementation of get_unmapped_area() doesn't properly check that the
size is a multiple of the requested page size. This allows userland to
create VMAs that aren't a multiple of the huge page size with hugetlbfs
(since hugetlbfs entirely relies on get_unmapped_area() to do that
checking) which leads to a kernel BUG() when such areas are torn down.

This reverts commit 3baee955953957be5496cd28e9c544d9db214262.
this was a mistake from the start; I added mdio type to the bus
scan list early on in my ucc_geth migrate to phylib development,
which is just pure wrong (the ucc_geth_mii driver creates the mii
bus and the PHY layer handles PHY enumeration without translation).
this accompanies commit 77926826f301fbd8ed96d3cd9ff17a5b59560dfb:

This reverts commit fd6e9d3945ee122eb513ada8b17296d243c1ce5e.
Having #size-cells == 0 in a node indicates that things under the
node aren't directly accessible, and therefore we shouldn't try to
translate addresses for devices under the node into CPU physical
addresses.
Some drivers, such as the nvram driver for powermacs, rely on
of_address_to_resource failing if they are called for a node
representing a device whose resources aren't directly accessible
by the CPU. These drivers were broken by commit fd6e9d39,
resulting in the "Lombard" powerbook hanging early in the boot
process.
stable team, this patch is equivalent to commit

[NETFILTER]: nf_conntrack: don't track locally generated special ICMP error
The conntrack assigned to locally generated ICMP error is usually the one
assigned to the original packet which has caused the error. But if
the original packet is handled as invalid by nf_conntrack, no conntrack
is assigned to the original packet. Then nf_ct_attach() cannot assign
any conntrack to the ICMP error packet. In that case the current
nf_conntrack_icmp assigns appropriate conntrack to it. But the current
code mistakes the direction of the packet. As a result, NAT code mistakes
the address to be mangled.
To fix the bug, this changes nf_conntrack_icmp not to assign conntrack
to such ICMP error. Actually no address is necessary to be mangled
in this case.

This patch causes device-mapper to reject any barrier requests. This is done
since most of the targets won't handle this correctly anyway. So until the
situation improves it is better to reject these requests at the first place.
Since barrier requests won't get to the targets, the checks there can be
removed.

The handling of the re-registration case is wrong here; the "test" that was
returned from auth_domain_lookup will not be used again, so that reference
should be put. And auth_domain_lookup never did anything with "new" in
this case, so we should just clean it up ourself.

Pointed out by Michal Schmidt <mschmidt@redhat.com>.
The bug was introduced in 2.6.22 by me.
cleanup_workqueue_thread() does flush_cpu_workqueue(cwq) in a loop until
->worklist becomes empty. This is live-lockable, a re-niced caller can get
CPU after wake_up() and insert a new barrier before the lower-priority
cwq->thread has a chance to clear ->current_work.
Change cleanup_workqueue_thread() to do flush_cpu_workqueue(cwq) only once.
We can rely on the fact that run_workqueue() won't return until it flushes
all works. So it is safe to call kthread_stop() after that, the "should
stop" request won't be noticed until run_workqueue() returns.

The value of nperbucket calculated here is too small--we should be rounding up
instead of down--with the result that the index j in the following loop can
overflow the raparm_hash array. At least in my case, the next thing in memory
turns out to be export_table, so the symptoms I see are crashes caused by the
appearance of four zeroed-out export entries in the first bucket of the hash
table of exports (which were actually entries in the readahead cache, a
pointer to which had been written to the export table in this initialization
code).
It looks like the bug was probably introduced with commit
fce1456a19f5c08b688c29f00ef90fdfa074c79b ("knfsd: make the readahead params
