Thomas Gleixner b04e7bdb98 ACPI: disable lower idle C-states across suspend/resume
device_suspend() calls ACPI suspend functions, which seems to have undesired
side effects on lower idle C-states. It took me some time to realize that
especially the VAIO BIOSes (both Andrews jinxed UP and my elfstruck SMP one)
show this effect. I'm quite sure that other bug reports against suspend/resume
about turning the system into a brick have the same root cause.

After fishing in the dark for quite some time, I realized that removing the ACPI
processor module before suspend (this removes the lower C-state functionality)
made the problem disappear. Interestingly enough the propability of having a
bricked box is influenced by various factors (interrupts, size of the ram image,
...). Even adding a bunch of printks in the wrong places made the problem go
away. The previous periodic tick implementation simply pampered over the
problem, which explains why the dyntick / clockevents changes made this more
prominent.

We avoid complex functionality during the boot process and we have to do the
same during suspend/resume. It is a similar scenario and equaly fragile.

Add suspend / resume functions to the ACPI processor code and disable the lower
idle C-states across suspend/resume. Fall back to the default idle
implementation (halt) instead.

Stephen Hemminger 75e806838a sky2: receive FIFO checking
A driver writer from another operating system hinted that
the versions of Yukon 2 chip with rambuffer (EC and XL) have
a hardware bug that if the FIFO ever gets completely full it
will hang. Sounds like a classic ring full vs ring empty wrap around
bug.

As a workaround, use the existing watchdog timer to check for
ring full lockup.

  ohci1394: Failed to enable OHCI hardware.

This was reported for a Toshiba Satellite 5100-503.  The cause is commit
8df4083c52 in Linux 2.6.19-rc1 which only
served purposes of early remote debugging via FireWire.  This
functionality is better provided by the currently out-of-tree driver

Herbert Xu f3d5e3a415 [PPP] L2TP: Fix skb handling in pppol2tp_xmit
This patch makes pppol2tp_xmit call skb_cow_head so that we don't modify
cloned skb data.  It also gets rid of skb2 we only need to preserve the
original skb for congestion notification, which is only applicable for
ppp_async and ppp_sync.

The other semantic change made here is the removal of socket accounting
for data tranmitted out of pppol2tp_xmit.  The original code leaked any
existing socket skb accounting.  We could fix this by dropping the
original skb owner.  However, this is undesirable as the packet has not
physically left the host yet.

In fact, all other tunnels in the kernel do not account skb's passing
through to their own socket.  In partciular, ESP over UDP does not do
so and it is the closest tunnel type to PPPoL2TP.  So this patch simply
removes the socket accounting in pppol2tp_xmit.  The accounting still
applies to control packets of course.

I've also added a reminder that the outgoing checksum here doesn't work.
I suppose existing deployments don't actually enable checksums.

Cliff Wickman 4191ba26da mspec: handle shrinking virtual memory areas
The shrinking of a virtual memory area that is mmap(2)'d to a memory
special file (device drivers/char/mspec.c) can cause a panic.

If the mapped size of the vma (vm_area_struct) is very large, mspec allocates
a large vma_data structure with vmalloc(). But such a vma can be shrunk by
an munmap(2).  The current driver uses the current size of each vma to
deduce whether its vma_data structure was allocated by kmalloc() or vmalloc().
So if the vma was shrunk it appears to have been allocated by kmalloc(),
and mspec attempts to free it with kfree().  This results in a panic.

This patch avoids the panic (by preserving the type of the allocation) and
also makes mspec work correctly as the vma is split into pieces by the
munmap(2)'s.

All vma's derived from such a split vma share the same vma_data structure that
represents all the pages mapped into this set of vma's.  The mpec driver
must be made capable of using the right portion of the structure for each
member vma.  In other words, it must index into the array of page addresses
using the portion of the array that represents the current vma. This is
enabled by storing the vma group's vm_start in the vma_data structure.

The shared vma_data's are not protected by mm->mmap_sem in the fork() case
so the reference count is left as atomic_t.

Zhang Rui a21101c46c ACPI: video: _DOS=0 by default to prevent hotkey hang
In the past, the Linux/ACPI video driver invoked _DOS
(Display Output Switch) with the parameter 1
to tell the BIOS to switch the video output display for us.

But this conflicts with Linux native graphics drivers,
and can cause all sorts of issues, including hanging the system.

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6001

Here we change the Linux default to evaluate _DOS=0,
which tells the BIOS to simply send us a hotkey event
and not touch the graphics hardware.

The acpi video driver sends the display switch hotkey
event up through the intput layer, and X can interpret
that and use its native graphics driver to switch the display.

For the case where Linux has no native graphics driver running,
or the graphics driver doesn't know how to switch video and
the BIOS (safely) does, the previous behaviour can be restored with:

# echo 1 > /proc/acpi/video/*/DOS
