Disabling gpe might interfere with gpe detection/handling,
thus producing "interrupt not handled" errors.

This fixes hangs on 855-class hardware by avoiding double attachment of the
driver due to the stub second head device having the same pci id as the real
device.Other DRM drivers probably want this treatment as well, but I'm applying it
just to this one for safety. But we should clean up the drm_pciids.h mess
now so that each driver has its own pci id list header in its own directory.
Lets do that in the next release.Signed-off-by: Eric Anholt

Impact: fix hang/crash on ia64 under high load
This is ugly, but the simplest patch by far.
Unlike other similar routines, account_group_exec_runtime() could be
called "implicitly" from within scheduler after exit_notify(). This
means we can race with the parent doing release_task(), we can't just
check ->signal != NULL.Change __exit_signal() to do spin_unlock_wait(&task_rq(tsk)->lock)
before __cleanup_signal() to make sure ->signal can't be freed under
task_rq(tsk)->lock. Note that task_rq_unlock_wait() doesn't care
about the case when tsk changes cpu/rq under us, this should be OK.Thanks to Ingo who nacked my previous buggy patch.

This patch reverts the following three commits which convert libata to
use block layer tagging.43a49cbdf31e812c0d8f553d433b09b421f5d52c
e013e13bf605b9e6b702adffbe2853cfc60e7806
2fca5ccf97d2c28bcfce44f5b07d85e74e3cd18eAlthough using block layer tagging is the right direction, due to the
tight coupling among tag number, data structure allocation and
hardware command slot allocation, libata doesn't work correctly with
the current conversion.The biggest problem is guaranteeing that tag 0 is always used for
non-NCQ commands. Due to the way blk-tag is implemented and how SCSI
starts and finishes requests, such guarantee can't be made. I'm not
sure whether this would actually break any low level driver but it
doesn't look like a good idea to break such assumption given the
frailty of ATA controllers.So, for the time being, keep using the old dumb in-libata qc
allocation.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

Previously I assumed that the receive queues of candidates don't
change during the GC. This is only half true, nothing can be received
from the queues (see comment in unix_gc()), but buffers could be added
through the other half of the socket pair, which may still have file
descriptors referring to it.This can result in inc_inflight_move_tail() erronously increasing the
"inflight" counter for a unix socket for which dec_inflight() wasn't
previously called. This in turn can trigger the "BUG_ON(total_refs <
inflight_refs)" in a later garbage collection run.Fix this by only manipulating the "inflight" counter for sockets which
are candidates themselves. Duplicating the file references in
unix_attach_fds() is also needed to prevent a socket becoming a
candidate for GC while the skb that contains it is not yet queued.Reported-by: Andrea Bittau

Currently, all existing users of cnt32_to_63() are fine since the CPU
architectures where it is used don't do read access reordering, and user
mode preemption is disabled already. It is nevertheless a good idea to
better elaborate usage requirements wrt preemption, and use an explicit
memory barrier on SMP to avoid different CPUs accessing the counter
value in the wrong order. On UP a simple compiler barrier is
sufficient.Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre

Fix the __pfn_to_page(pfn) macro so that it doesn't evaluate its
argument twice in the CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM=y case, because 'pfn' may
be a result of a funtion call having side effects.For example, the hibernation code applies pfn_to_page(pfn) to the
result of a function returning the pfn corresponding to the next set
bit in a bitmap and the current bit position is modified on each
call. This leads to "interesting" failures for CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM=y
due to the current behavior of __pfn_to_page(pfn).Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

If an ACPI graphics device supports backlight brightness functions (cmp. with
latest ACPI spec Appendix B), let the ACPI video driver control backlight and
switch backlight control off in vendor specific ACPI drivers (asus_acpi,
thinkpad_acpi, eeepc, fujitsu_laptop, msi_laptop, sony_laptop, acer-wmi).Currently it is possible to load above drivers and let both poke on the
brightness HW registers, the video and vendor specific ACPI drivers -> bad.This patch provides the basic support to check for BIOS capabilities before
driver loading time. Driver specific modifications are in separate follow up
patches."acpi_backlight=vendor"
Prever vendor driver over ACPI driver for backlight.

This is a reimplemention of commit
0119509c4fbc9adcef1472817fda295334612976
from Matthew GarrettThis patch got removed because of a regression: ThinkPads with a
Intel graphics card and an Integrated Graphics Device BIOS implementation
stopped working.
In fact, they only worked because the ACPI device of the discrete, the
wrong one, got used (via int10). So ACPI functions were poking on the wrong
hardware used which is a sever bug.
The next patch provides support for above ThinkPads to be able to
switch brightness via the legacy thinkpad_acpi driver and automatically
detect when to use it.Original commit message from Matthew Garrett:
Vendors often ship machines with a choice of integrated or discrete
graphics, and use the same DSDT for both. As a result, the ACPI video
module will locate devices that may not exist on this specific platform.
Attempt to determine whether the device exists or not, and abort the
device creation if it doesn't.http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9614
