f26b90440c [PATCH] qla4xxx: bug fix: driver hardware semaphore needs to be grabbed before soft reset
On qla4xxx, the driver needs to grab the drvr semaphore provided by
the hardware, prior to issuing a reset. This patches takes care of a
couple of places where it was not being done. In addition there is
minor clean up.

7b4feee973 [PATCH] aic94xx: delete ascb timers when freeing queues
When the aic94xx driver creates ascbs, each ascb is initialized with a
timeout timer.  If there are any ascbs left over when the driver is being
torn down, these timers need to be deleted.  In particular, we seem to
hit this case when ascbs are issued yet never end up on the done list.
Right now there's a sequencer bug that results in this happening every
so often.

CONTROL PHY commands are typically sent when things are really messed
up with the sequencer; however, any other leftover ascb should produce
loud warnings.

dea2221479 [PATCH] aic94xx: handle REQ_DEVICE_RESET
This patch implements a REQ_DEVICE_RESET handler for the aic94xx
driver.  Like the earlier REQ_TASK_ABORT patch, this patch defers the
device reset to the Scsi_Host's workqueue, which has the added benefit
of ensuring that the device reset does not happen at the same time
that the abort tmfs are being processed.  After the phy reset, the
busted drive should go away and be re-detected later, which is indeed
what I've seen on both a x260 and a x206m.

The comment at the nesting lock says:

	/* Careful for priority inversions here !
	 * irlmp->links is never taken while another IrDA
	 * spinlock is held, so we are safe. Jean II */

So, under the assumption the author was right, it just needs a lockdep
annotation.

b3438f8266 Add "pure_initcall" for static variable initialization
This is a quick hack to overcome the fact that SRCU currently does not
allow static initializers, and we need to sometimes initialize those

Currently we don't allow this at all for modules, and the only user that
needs is right now is cpufreq. As reported by Thomas Gleixner:

ba9b1cd713 [PATCH] Update my CREDITS entry
I moved from Sweden to Finland 2.5 years ago, thought it might be time
to update my CREDITS entry (simply removing the address completely
seemed the sanest option).

b976fe19ac Revert "ACPI: created a dedicated workqueue for notify() execution"
This reverts commit 37605a6900.

Again.

This same bug has now been introduced twice: it was done earlier by
commit b8d35192c5, only to be reverted
last time in commit 72945b2b90.

We must NOT try to queue up notify handlers to another thread than the
normal ACPI execution thread, because the notifications on some systems
seem to just keep on accumulating until we run out of memory and/or
threads.

Keeping events within the one deferred execution thread automatically
throttles the events properly.

At least the Compaq N620c will lock up completely on the first thermal
event without this patch reverted.

808dbbb6bb x86: be more careful when walking back the frame pointer chain
When showing the stack backtrace, make sure that we never accept not
only an unchanging frame pointer, but also a frame pointer that moves
back down the stack frame.  It must always grow up (toward older stack
frames).

I doubt this has triggered, but a subtly corrupt stack with extremely
unlucky contents could cause us to loop forever on a bogus endless frame
pointer chain.

This review was triggered by much worse problems happening in some of
the other stack unwinding code.

1ff5683043 [PATCH] lockdep: fix static keys in module-allocated percpu areas
lockdep got confused by certain locks in modules:

 INFO: trying to register non-static key.
 the code is fine but needs lockdep annotation.
 turning off the locking correctness validator.

Steven Rostedt found the bug: static_obj() check did not take
PERCPU_ENOUGH_ROOM into account, so in-module DEFINE_PER_CPU-area locks
were triggering this message.

dc1829a4c3 [PATCH] i386/x86_64: ACPI cpu_idle_wait() fix
The scheduler on Andreas Friedrich's hyperthreading system stopped
working properly: the scheduler would never move tasks to another CPU!
The lask known working kernel was 2.6.8.

After a couple of attempts to corner the bug, the following smoking gun
was found:

  BIOS reported wrong ACPI idfor the processor
  CPU#1: set_cpus_allowed(), swapper:1, 3 -> 2
   [<c0103bbe>] show_trace_log_lvl+0x34/0x4a

   [<c0116a77>] set_cpus_allowed+0x52/0xec
   [<c0101d86>] cpu_idle_wait+0x2e/0x100
   [<c0259c57>] acpi_processor_power_exit+0x45/0x58
   [<c0259752>] acpi_processor_remove+0x46/0xea

   [<c01004d7>] init+0x146/0x2fd
   [<c0103a87>] kernel_thread_helper+0x7/0x10

a quick look at cpu_idle_wait() shows how broken that code is
on i386: it changes the init task's affinity map but never
restores it ...

and because all userspace tasks get forked by init, they all
inherited that single-CPU affinity mask. x86_64 cloned this
bug too.
