The SW_RADIO code for EV_SW events has a name that is not descriptive
enough of its intended function, and could induce someone to think
KEY_RADIO is its EV_KEY counterpart, which is false.
Rename it to SW_RFKILL_ALL, and document what this event is for. Keep
the old name around, to avoid userspace ABI breaks.
The SW_RFKILL_ALL event is meant to be used by rfkill master switches. It
is not bound to a particular radio switch type, and usually applies to all
types. It is semantically tied to master rfkill switches that enable or
disable every radio in a system.

virtio allows drivers to suppress callbacks (ie. interrupts) for
efficiency (no locking, it's just an optimization).
There's a similar mechanism for the host to suppress notifications
coming from the guest: in that case, we ignore the suppression if the
ring is completely full.
It turns out that life is simpler if the host similarly ignores
callback suppression when the ring is completely empty: the network
driver wants to free up old packets in a timely manner, and otherwise
has to use a timer to poll.
We have to remove the code which ignores interrupts when the driver
has disabled them (again, it had no locking and hence was unreliable
anyway).

Note that by itself, having a "hardware" random generator does very
little: you should probably run "rngd" in your guest to feed this into
the kernel entropy pool.
Included:
virtio_rng: dont use vmalloced addresses for virtio
If virtio_rng is build as a module, random_data is an address
in vmalloc space. As virtio expects guest real addresses, this
can cause any kind of funny behaviour, so lets allocate
random_data dynamically with kmalloc.

Hello Rusty,
sometimes it is useful to share a disk (e.g. usr). To avoid file system
corruption, the disk should be mounted read-only in that case. This patch

improve the sysbench ramp-up phase and its peak throughput on
a 16way NUMA box, by turning on WAKE_AFFINE:

256: 8475 8144 -4.07%

SUM: 57558 57882 +0.56%
this change also improves lat_ctx from 6.69 usecs to 1.11 usec:
$ ./lat_ctx -s 0 2
"size=0k ovr=1.19
2 1.11
$ ./lat_ctx -s 0 2
"size=0k ovr=1.22
2 6.69
in sysbench it's an overall win with some weakness at the lots-of-clients
side. That happens because we now under-balance this workload
a bit. To counter that effect, turn on NEWIDLE:
wake-idle wake-idle+newidle
-------------------------------------------------
1: 830 834 +0.43%
2: 1391 1401 +0.65%
4: 3105 3091 -0.43%
8: 6021 6046 +0.42%
16: 10745 10736 -0.08%

64: 9240 9533 +3.08%
128: 8252 8355 +1.24%
256: 8144 8384 +2.87%
-------------------------------------------------
SUM: 57882 58591 +1.21%
as a bonus this not only improves the many-clients case but
also improves the (more important) rampup phase.
sysbench is a workload that quickly breaks down if the
scheduler over-balances, so since it showed an improvement
under NEWIDLE this change is definitely good.
Previously, DCR support was configured at compile time to either use
MMIO or native dcr instructions. Although this works for most
platforms, it fails on FPGA platforms:
1) Systems may include more than one DCR bus.
2) Systems may be native DCR capable and still use memory mapped DCR interface.
This patch provides runtime support based on the device trees for the
case where CONFIG_PPC_DCR_MMIO and CONFIG_PPC_DCR_NATIVE are both
selected. Previously, this was a poorly defined configuration, which
happened to provide NATIVE support. The runtime selection is made
based on the dcr-controller having a 'dcr-access-method' attribute
in the device tree. If only one of the above options is selected,
then the code uses #defines to select only the used code in order to
avoid introducing overhead in existing usage.

I tried to group recovery related fields nearby (non-CA_Open related
variables, to be more accurate) so that one to three cachelines would
not be necessary in CA_Open. These are now contiguously deployed:
struct sk_buff_head out_of_order_queue; /* 1968 80 */
/* --- cacheline 32 boundary (2048 bytes) --- */
struct tcp_sack_block duplicate_sack[1]; /* 2048 8 */
struct tcp_sack_block selective_acks[4]; /* 2056 32 */
struct tcp_sack_block recv_sack_cache[4]; /* 2088 32 */
/* --- cacheline 33 boundary (2112 bytes) was 8 bytes ago --- */
struct sk_buff * highest_sack; /* 2120 8 */
int lost_cnt_hint; /* 2128 4 */
int retransmit_cnt_hint; /* 2132 4 */
u32 lost_retrans_low; /* 2136 4 */
u8 reordering; /* 2140 1 */
u8 keepalive_probes; /* 2141 1 */
/* XXX 2 bytes hole, try to pack */
u32 prior_ssthresh; /* 2144 4 */
u32 high_seq; /* 2148 4 */
u32 retrans_stamp; /* 2152 4 */
u32 undo_marker; /* 2156 4 */
int undo_retrans; /* 2160 4 */
u32 total_retrans; /* 2164 4 */
...and they're then followed by URG slowpath & keepalive related
variables.
Head of the out_of_order_queue always needed for empty checks, if
that's empty (and TCP is in CA_Open), following ~200 bytes (in 64-bit)
shouldn't be necessary for anything. If only OFO queue exists but TCP
is in CA_Open, selective_acks (and possibly duplicate_sack) are
necessary besides the out_of_order_queue but the rest of the block
again shouldn't be (ie., the other direction had losses).
As the cacheline boundaries depend on many factors in the preceeding
stuff, trying to align considering them doesn't make too much sense.
Commented one ordering hazard.
There are number of low utilized u8/16s that could be combined get 2
bytes less in total so that the hole could be made to vanish (includes
at least ecn_flags, urg_data, urg_mode, frto_counter, nonagle).

the problem is that drivers/xen/manage.c is built unconditionally if

drivers/char/hvc_xen.c, where the xen_suspend() method is implemented,
is only build if CONFIG_HVC_XEN=y as well.

Currently it uses a single static char array, but that risks
