Due to poor thermal design or Linux driving hardware outside its thermal
envelope, some systems will reach critical temperature and shut down
under high load. This patch adds support for forcing a polling-based
passive trip point if the firmware doesn't provide one. The assumption
is made that the processor is the most practical means to reduce the
dynamic heat generation, so hitting the passive thermal limit will cause
the CPU to be throttled until the temperature stabalises around the
defined value.UI is provided via a "passive" sysfs entry in the thermal zone
directory. It accepts a decimal value in millidegrees celsius, or "0" to
disable the functionality. Default behaviour is for this functionality
to be disabled.Signed-off-by: Matthew Garrett

The ACPI code currently carries its own thermal trip handling, meaning that
any other thermal implementation will need to reimplement it. Move the code

uids in namespaces other than init don't get a sysfs entry.
For those in the init namespace, while we're waiting to remove
the sysfs entry for the uid the uid is still hashed, and
alloc_uid() may re-grab that uid without getting a new
reference to the user_ns, which we've already put in free_user
before scheduling remove_user_sysfs_dir().Reported-and-tested-by: KOSAKI Motohiro

ASoC supports both explicit codec drivers for AC97 devices and a simple
driver which uses the standard ALSA AC97 framework for codec support.
When used with the generic AC97 codec support that will provide the
ad hoc AC97 device for drivers like touchscreens to attach to so the
core shouldn't do so.Reported-by: Manuel Lauss

Added the helper function snd_hda_multi_out_dig_cleanup() to clean up
the digital outputs with multi setup. This call is needed in cases
the codec supports multiple digital outputs as slaves. Otherwise the
slave widgets aren't properly cleaned up.For a single digital output (e.g. in patch_conexant.c), this call isn't
needed.Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai

Change HP dv7 quirk: although reported to work with hp-m4 model
(https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=445321), the original
report doesn't contain info about testing of internal microphone.Recently I received a report about internal mic not working
(https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=44855#c193), this must be
related with the forced line in on pin 0x0e done with hp-m4 model. Thus
change the current quirk from STAC_HP_M4 to STAC_HP_DV5, later reported
to be fixed on a provided kernel with this change

When a non-wimax interface is looked up by the stack, a bad pointer is
returned when the looked-up interface is not found in the list (of
registered WiMAX interfaces). This causes an oops in the caller when
trying to use the pointer.Fix by properly setting the pointer to NULL if we don't exit from the
list_for_each() with a found entry.Signed-off-by: Inaky Perez-Gonzalez

The problem is that in_atomic() will return false inside spinlocks if
CONFIG_PREEMPT=n. This will lead to deadlockable GFP_KERNEL allocations
from spinlocked regions.Secondly, if CONFIG_PREEMPT=y, this bug solves itself because networking
will instead use GFP_ATOMIC from this callsite. Hence we won't get the
might_sleep() debugging warnings which would have informed us of the buggy
callsites.Solve both these problems by switching to in_interrupt(). Now, if someone
runs a gfp_any() allocation from inside spinlock we will get the warning
if CONFIG_PREEMPT=y.I reviewed all callsites and most of them were too complex for my little
brain and none of them documented their interface requirements. I have no
idea what this patch will do.Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton

mm: Export symbol ksize() -
A bug was introduced into write_cache_pages cyclic writeout by commit
31a12666d8f0c22235297e1c1575f82061480029 ("mm: write_cache_pages cyclic
fix"). The intention (and comments) is that we should cycle back and
look for more dirty pages at the beginning of the file if there is no
more work to be done.But the !done condition was dropped from the test. This means that any
time the page writeout loop breaks (eg. due to nr_to_write == 0), we
will set index to 0, then goto again. This will set done_index to
index, then find done is set, so will proceed to the end of the
function. When updating mapping->writeback_index for cyclic writeout,
we now use done_index == 0, so we're always cycling back to 0.This seemed to be causing random mmap writes (slapadd and iozone) to
start writing more pages from the LRU and writeout would slowdown, and
caused bugzilla entryhttp://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12604
about Berkeley DB slowing down dramatically.
With this patch, iozone random write performance is increased nearly
5x on my system (iozone -B -r 4k -s 64k -s 512m -s 1200m on ext2).Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin
