Intel processors starting with the Core Duo support
support processor native C-state using the MWAIT instruction.
Refer: Intel Architecture Software Developer's Manual
http://www.intel.com/design/Pentium4/manuals/253668.htmPlatform firmware exports the support for Native C-state to OS using
ACPI _PDC and _CST methods.
Refer: Intel Processor Vendor-Specific ACPI: Interface Specification
http://www.intel.com/technology/iapc/acpi/downloads/302223.htmWith Processor Native C-state, we use 'MWAIT' instruction on the processor
to enter different C-states (C1, C2, C3). We won't use the special IO
ports to enter C-state and no SMM mode etc required to enter C-state.
Overall this will mean better C-state support.One major advantage of using MWAIT for all C-states is, with this and
"treat interrupt as break event" feature of MWAIT, we can now get accurate
timing for the time spent in C1, C2, .. states.Signed-off-by: Venkatesh Pallipadi

vma->vm_pgoff is an pfn _offset_ relatif to the begining
of the memory start. The previous code was doing at first:vma->vm_pgoff << PAGE_SHIFT
which results into a wrong physical address since some
platforms have a physical mem start that can be different
from 0. After that the previous call __pa() on this
wrong physical address, however __pa() is used to convert
a _virtual_ address into a physical one.This patch rewrites this convertion. It calculates the
pfn of PAGE_OFFSET which is the pfn of the mem start
then it adds the vma->vm_pgoff to it.It also uses virt_to_phys() instead of __pa() since the
latter shouldn't be used by drivers.Signed-off-by: Franck Bui-Huu

The file based core dump code was broken by pipe changes - a relative
llseek returns the absolute file position on success, not the relative
one, so dump_seek() always failed when invoked with non-zero current
position.Only success/failure can be tested with relative lseek, we have to trust
kernel that on success we've got right file offset. With this fix in
place I have finally real core files instead of 1KB fragments...Signed-off-by: Petr Vandrovec

The implementation of genirq in x86 completely broke voyager (and
presumably visws). Since it's plugged into so much of the x86
infrastructure, you can't expect it to work unconverted.This patch introduces a voyager IRQ handler type and switches voyager
to the genirq infrastructure.Signed-off-by: James Bottomley

This patch fixes my one line thinko where I was clearing

Currently ioprio_best function first checks wethere aioprio or bioprio equals
IOPRIO_CLASS_NONE (ioprio_valid() macros does that) and if it is so it returns
bioprio/aioprio appropriately. Thus the next four lines, that set aclass/bclass
to IOPRIO_CLASS_BE, if aclass/bclass == IOPRIO_CLASS_NONE, are never executed.The second problem: if aioprio from class IOPRIO_CLASS_NONE and bioprio from
class IOPRIO_CLASS_IDLE are passed to ioprio_best function, it will return
IOPRIO_CLASS_IDLE. It means that during __make_request we can merge two
requests and set the priority of merged request to IDLE, while one of
the initial requests originates from a process with NONE (default) priority.
So we can get a situation when a process with default ioprio will experience
IO starvation, while there is no process from real-time class in the system.Just removing ioprio_valid check should correct situation.
