For CONFIG_NO_HZ we need to calculate the next timer wheel event based on a given jiffie value. Extend the existing code to allow the extra 'now' argument. Provide a compability function for the existing implementations to call the function with now == jiffies. (This also solves the racyness of the original code vs. jiffies changing during the iteration.) No functional changes to existing users of this infrastructure.

When searching for the next pending timer in the timer wheel we need to take the cascade into account. The current code has several problems: 1. it looks into the previous cascade 2. it ignores a pending cascade 3. it ignores multiple cascades Change the cascade lookup, so it calculates the array index from the point of the next cascade and always look at the cascade buckets, when the cascade is pending, i.e. gets executed in the next timer softirq. When multiple cascades are pending, then lookup the next buckets too. Signed-off-by:

The Geode can safely use the TSC for highres, since: 1) Does not support frequency scaling, 2) The TSC _does_ count when the CPU is halted. Furthermore, the Geode supports a mode called "suspension on halt", where Suspend mode (which interacts with the power management states) is entered. TSC counting during suspend mode is controlled by bit 8 of the Bus Controller Configuration Register #0 (thanks Tom!). 3) no SMP :) Check if "RTSC counts during suspension" and remove the requirement for verification, so the clocksource code can safely select it as an timesource for the highres timers subsystem.

The TSC needs to be verified against another clocksource. Instead of using hardwired assumptions of available hardware, provide a generic verification mechanism. The verification uses the best available clocksource and handles the usability for high resolution timers / dynticks of the clocksource which needs to be verified. Signed-off-by:

make the TSC synchronization code more robust, and unify it between x86_64 and i386. The biggest change is the removal of the 'fix up TSCs' code on x86_64 and i386, in some rare cases it was /causing/ time-warps on SMP systems. The new code only checks for TSC asynchronity - and if it can prove a time-warp (if it can observe the TSC going backwards when going from one CPU to another within a critical section), then the TSC clock-source is turned off. The TSC synchronization-checking code also got moved into a separate file. Signed-off-by:

Fix multiple conversion bugs in msecs_to_jiffies(). The main problem is that this condition: if (m > jiffies_to_msecs(MAX_JIFFY_OFFSET)) overflows if HZ is smaller than 1000! This change is user-visible: for HZ=250 SUS-compliant poll()-timeout value of -20 is mistakenly converted to 'immediate timeout'. (The new dyntick code also triggered this, that's how we noticed.)

A previous cleanup misused need_poll, which had a fairly broken interface. It implemented a growable array, changing the used elements count itself, but leaving it up to the caller to fill in the actual elements, including the entire array if the array had to be reallocated. This worked because the previous users were switching between two such structures, and the elements were copied from the inactive array to the active array after making sure the active array had enough room. maybe_sigio_broken was made to use need_poll, but it was operating on a single array, so when the buffer was reallocated, the previous contents were lost. This patch makes need_poll implement more sane semantics. It merely assures that the array is of the proper size and that the contents are preserved. It is up to the caller to adjust the used elements count and to ensure that the proper elements are resent. This manifested itself as a hang in 2.6.20 as the uninitialized buffer convinced UML that one of its own file descriptors didn't support SIGIO and needed to be watched by poll in a separate thread. The result was an interrupt flood as control traffic over this descriptor sparked interrupts, which resulted in more control traffic, ad nauseum. Signed-off-by:

It appears that the pcim_iomap_regions() function doesn't get the error handling right. It BUGs early at boot with a backtrace along the lines of: ahci_init pci_register_driver driver_register [...] ahci_init_one pcim_iomap_region pcim_iounmap The following patch allows me to boot. Only the if(mask..) continue; part fixes the problem actually, the gotos where changed so that we don't try to unmap something we couldn't map anyway. Signed-off-by:

This modifies drivers/ata/sata_vsc.c to only set the cache line size to 0x80 if the default value is zero. Apparently zero isn't allowed due to a bug in the chip, but I've found performance is much better with the (non-zero) default instead of 0x80.

The hald media changed polling does really confuse things. Noone knows why the delays are needed, but they give us access to the CD. An udelay(50) will give reliable access to the drive, but there is still one (or more) EH reset. The drive works without EH resets with udelay(100). Signed-off-by:

The 80c wire bit is bit 13, not 14. Bit 14 is always 1 if word93 is implemented. This increases the chance of incorrect wire detection especially because host side cable detection is often unreliable and we sometimes soley depend on drive side cable detection. Fix the test and add word93 validity check. Signed-off-by:

This patch updates the sata_promise driver to use new-style libata error handling for 20619 (TX4000) chips. sata_promise already uses new EH for the other chips it supports, so the patch is quite simple: * remove ->phy_reset and ->eng_timeout ops from pdc_pata_ops, and instead bind ->freeze, ->thaw, ->error_handler, and ->post_internal_cmd to existing new EH functions * drop ATA_FLAG_SRST from board_20619's flags * remove now unused pdc_pata_phy_reset() and pdc_eng_timeout() Tested on a TX4000 with both modern working disks and old/quirky disks. Also used a CD-RW drive to test reading and writing CDs. Signed-off-by:
