virtio: console: Add a new MULTIPORT feature, support for generic ports
This commit adds a new feature, MULTIPORT. If the host supports this
feature as well, the config space has the number of ports defined for
that device. New ports are spawned according to this information.
The config space also has the maximum number of ports that can be
spawned for a particular device. This is useful in initializing the
appropriate number of virtqueues in advance, as ports might be
hot-plugged in later.
Using this feature, generic ports can be created which are not tied to
hvc consoles.
We also open up a private channel between the host and the guest via
which some "control" messages are exchanged for the ports, like whether
the port being spawned is a console port, resizing the console window,
etc.
Next commits will add support for hotplugging and presenting char

virtio is communicating with a virtual "device" that actually runs on

Where possible, we should use SMP barriers which are more lightweight than
mandatory barriers, because mandatory barriers also control MMIO effects on
accesses through relaxed memory I/O windows (which virtio does not use)
(compare specifically smp_rmb and rmb on x86_64).
We can't just use smp_mb and friends though, because
we must force memory ordering even if guest is UP since host could be
running on another CPU, but SMP barriers are defined to barrier() in
that configuration. So, for UP fall back to mandatory barriers instead.

Also, adding barriers changes timing, so turning on debug has more

This is a fix for my earlier patch: "virtio: Add memory statistics reporting to

I discovered that all_vm_events() can sleep and therefore stats collection
cannot be done in interrupt context. One solution is to handle the interrupt
by noting that stats need to be collected and waking the existing vballoon
kthread which will complete the work via stats_handle_request(). Rusty, is
this a saner way of doing business?
There is one issue that I would like a broader opinion on. In stats_request, I
update vb->need_stats_update and then wake up the kthread. The kthread uses
vb->need_stats_update as a condition variable. Do I need a memory barrier
between the update and wake_up to ensure that my kthread sees the correct
value? My testing suggests that it is not needed but I would like some
confirmation from the experts.

- Drop anon_pages stat and fix endianness conversion
Changes since V1:
- Use a virtqueue instead of the device config space
When using ballooning to manage overcommitted memory on a host, a system for
guests to communicate their memory usage to the host can provide information
that will minimize the impact of ballooning on the guests. The current method
employs a daemon running in each guest that communicates memory statistics to a
host daemon at a specified time interval. The host daemon aggregates this
information and inflates and/or deflates balloons according to the level of
host memory pressure. This approach is effective but overly complex since a
daemon must be installed inside each guest and coordinated to communicate with
the host. A simpler approach is to collect memory statistics in the virtio
balloon driver and communicate them directly to the hypervisor.
This patch enables the guest-side support by adding stats collection and
reporting to the virtio balloon driver.

Input: polldev can cause crash in case when polling disabled
When polled input device is opened and closed and there are no other
users of polled device, the workqueue is created and destroyed in
every open / close operation. It is probable that at some point
dynamic allocation of internal parts of the workqueue cause changes to the
workqueue.
When a work is queued to the workqueue the work struct contains pointers
to the workqueue data. If the workqueue has been changed and the work
has never been queued to the new workqueue, work-struct contains pointers
to the non-existing workqueue. This will cause crash at the work
cancellation during device close since cancellation of a work assumes
that the workqueue exists.
To prevent that, work struct is cleaned up at device close. This keeps
work struct clean for the next use.

sfc: SFE4002/SFN4112F: Widen temperature and voltage tolerances
The temperature and voltage limits currently set on these boards are
too conservative and will cause the driver to stop the net device
erroneously in some systems.
Based on a review of the chip datasheets and advice from the designer
of these boards:
- Raise the maximum board temperatures to the specified maximum ambient
temperatures for their PHYs plus the expected temperature bias of the
board
- Raise the maximum controller temperature to 90 degrees
- Lower the minimum temperatures to 0 degrees
- Widen the voltage tolerances to at least +/- 10%

The wireless sysfs methods like the rest of the networking sysfs

Yuck. It turns out that when we restart sysctls we were restarting
with the values already changed. Which unfortunately meant that
the second time through we thought there was no change and skipped
all kinds of work, despite the fact that there was indeed a change.
I have fixed this the simplest way possible by restoring the changed
values when we restart the sysctl write.
One of my coworkers spotted this bug when after disabling forwarding
on an interface pings were still forwarded.

TSB I-tlb load code tries to use andcc to check the _PAGE_EXEC_4U bit,
but that's bit 12 so it gets sign extended all the way up to bit 63

hw-breakpoint: Keep track of dr7 local enable bits
When the user enables breakpoints through dr7, he can choose
between "local" or "global" enable bits but given how linux is
implemented, both have the same effect.
That said we don't keep track how the user enabled the breakpoints
so when the user requests the dr7 value, we only translate the
"enabled" status using the global enabled bits. It means that if
the user enabled a breakpoint using the local enabled bit, reading
back dr7 will set the global bit and clear the local one.
Apps like Wine expect a full dr7 POKEUSER/PEEKUSER match for emulated
softwares that implement old reverse engineering protection schemes.
We fix that by keeping track of the whole dr7 value given by the user
in the thread structure to drop this bug. We'll think about
something more proper later.
This fixes a 2.6.32 - 2.6.33-x ptrace regression.

hw-breakpoints: Accept breakpoints on NULL address
Before we had a generic breakpoint API, ptrace was accepting
breakpoints on NULL address in x86. The new API refuse them,
without given strong reasons. We need to follow the previous
behaviour as some userspace apps like Wine need such NULL
breakpoints to ensure old emulated software protections
are still working.

V4L/DVB: bttv: Move I2C IR initialization
Move I2C IR initialization from just after I2C bus setup to right
before non-I2C IR initialization. This avoids the case where an I2C IR
device is blocking audio support (at least the PV951 suffers from
this). It is also more logical to group IR support together,
regardless of the connectivity.
