tulip: fix crash on iface up with shirq debug
Tulip is currently doing request_irq before it has done its
initialization. This is usually not a problem because it hasn't
enable interrupts yet, but with DEBUG_SHIRQ on, we call the irq handler
when registering the interrupt as a sanity check.
This can result in a NULL ptr dereference, so call tulip_init_ring
before request_irq, and add a free_ring function to do the freeing
now shared with tulip_close.
Tested with a shell loop running ifup, ifdown in a loop a few hundred
times with DEBUG_SHIRQ on.
virtio_net: Make virtio_net support carrier detection
Impact: Make NetworkManager work with virtio_net
For now the semantics are simple: There is always carrier.
This allows a seamless experience with e.g., qemu/kvm
where NetworkManager just configures and sets up
everything automagically.
If/when a generally agreed-upon way to control
carrier on/off in the emulator/hypervisor level
emerges, it will be trivial to extend the driver
to support that too, but for now even this 2-liner
makes user experience that much better.
The un-refactored code checked the link speed and duplex of
every slave on every pass; the refactored code did not do so.
The 802.3ad and balance-alb/tlb modes utilize the speed and
duplex information, and require it to be kept up to date. This patch
adds a notifier check to perform the appropriate updating when the slave
device speed changes.

Fast TSC calibration: calculate proper frequency error bounds
In order for ntpd to correctly synchronize the clocks, the frequency of
the system clock must not be off by more than 500 ppm (or, put another
way, 1:2000), or ntpd will end up giving up on trying to synchronize
properly, and ends up reseting the clock in jumps instead.
The fast TSC PIT calibration sometimes failed this test - it was
assuming that the PIT reads always took about one microsecond each (2us
for the two reads to get a 16-bit timer), and that calibrating TSC to
the PIT over 15ms should thus be sufficient to get much closer than
500ppm (max 2us error on both sides giving 4us over 15ms: a 270 ppm
error value).
However, that assumption does not always hold: apparently some hardware
is either very much slower at reading the PIT registers, or there was
other noise causing at least one machine to get 700+ ppm errors.
So instead of using a fixed 15ms timing loop, this changes the fast PIT
calibration to read the TSC delta over the individual PIT timer reads,
and use the result to calculate the error bars on the PIT read timing
properly. We then successfully calibrate the TSC only if the maximum
error bars fall below 500ppm.
In the process, we also relax the timing to allow up to 25ms for the
calibration, although it can happen much faster depending on hardware.

Fix potential fast PIT TSC calibration startup glitch
During bootup, when we reprogram the PIT (programmable interval timer)
to start counting down from 0xffff in order to use it for the fast TSC
calibration, we should also make sure to delay a bit afterwards to allow
the PIT hardware to actually start counting with the new value.
That will happens at the next CLK pulse (1.193182 MHz), so the easiest
way to do that is to just wait at least one microsecond after
programming the new PIT counter value. We do that by just reading the
counter value back once - which will take about 2us on PC hardware.
so it's critical that we get the right group number back for
this prealloc context, to lock the right group (the one
associated with this pa) and prevent concurrent list manipulation.
however, ext4_mb_put_pa() passes in (pa->pa_pstart - 1) with a
comment, "-1 is to protect from crossing allocation group".
This makes sense for the group_pa, where pa_pstart is advanced
by the length which has been used (in ext4_mb_release_context()),
and when the entire length has been used, pa_pstart has been
advanced to the first block of the next group.
However, for inode_pa, pa_pstart is never advanced; it's just
set once to the first block in the group and not moved after
that. So in this case, if we subtract one in ext4_mb_put_pa(),
we are actually locking the *previous* group, and opening the
race with the other threads which do not subtract off the extra
block.

There is a sample program in man 2 gendents. This is the output of the program
running on a multithread program's task dir before this patch is applied:

netfilter: conntrack: fix dropping packet after l4proto->packet()
We currently use the negative value in the conntrack code to encode
the packet verdict in the error. As NF_DROP is equal to 0, inverting
NF_DROP makes no sense and, as a result, no packets are ever dropped.

m68k: merge the non-MMU and MMU versions of sigcontext.h
It is trivial to merge the non-MMU and MMU versions of sigcontext.h.
Without a single file "make headers_install" is broken for m68k
(since each of the sub-varients of sigconext.h are not installed).

thinkpad-acpi: fix module autoloading for older models
Looking at the source, there seems to be a missing * to match my DMI
string. I mean for newer IBM and Lenovo's laptops you match either one
of the following:
MODULE_ALIAS("dmi:bvnIBM:*:svnIBM:*:pvrThinkPad*:rvnIBM:*");
MODULE_ALIAS("dmi:bvnLENOVO:*:svnLENOVO:*:pvrThinkPad*:rvnLENOVO:*");
While for older Thinkpads, you do this (for instance):
IBM_BIOS_MODULE_ALIAS("1[0,3,6,8,A-G,I,K,M-P,S,T]");
with IBM_BIOS_MODULE_ALIAS being MODULE_ALIAS("dmi:bvnIBM:bvr" __type "ET??WW")
Note there's no * terminating the string. As result, udev doesn't load
anything because modprobe cannot find anything matching this (my
machine actually):
