Intel processors starting with the Core Duo support support processor native C-state using the MWAIT instruction. Refer: Intel Architecture Software Developer's Manual http://www.intel.com/design/Pentium4/manuals/253668.htm Platform firmware exports the support for Native C-state to OS using ACPI _PDC and _CST methods. Refer: Intel Processor Vendor-Specific ACPI: Interface Specification http://www.intel.com/technology/iapc/acpi/downloads/302223.htm With Processor Native C-state, we use 'MWAIT' instruction on the processor to enter different C-states (C1, C2, C3). We won't use the special IO ports to enter C-state and no SMM mode etc required to enter C-state. Overall this will mean better C-state support. One major advantage of using MWAIT for all C-states is, with this and "treat interrupt as break event" feature of MWAIT, we can now get accurate timing for the time spent in C1, C2, .. states.

vma->vm_pgoff is an pfn _offset_ relatif to the begining of the memory start. The previous code was doing at first: vma->vm_pgoff << PAGE_SHIFT which results into a wrong physical address since some platforms have a physical mem start that can be different from 0. After that the previous call __pa() on this wrong physical address, however __pa() is used to convert a _virtual_ address into a physical one. This patch rewrites this convertion. It calculates the pfn of PAGE_OFFSET which is the pfn of the mem start then it adds the vma->vm_pgoff to it. It also uses virt_to_phys() instead of __pa() since the latter shouldn't be used by drivers. Signed-off-by: Franck Bui-Huu <fbuihuu@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

The file based core dump code was broken by pipe changes - a relative llseek returns the absolute file position on success, not the relative one, so dump_seek() always failed when invoked with non-zero current position. Only success/failure can be tested with relative lseek, we have to trust kernel that on success we've got right file offset. With this fix in place I have finally real core files instead of 1KB fragments...

The implementation of genirq in x86 completely broke voyager (and presumably visws). Since it's plugged into so much of the x86 infrastructure, you can't expect it to work unconverted. This patch introduces a voyager IRQ handler type and switches voyager to the genirq infrastructure. Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@SteelEye.com>

Currently ioprio_best function first checks wethere aioprio or bioprio equals IOPRIO_CLASS_NONE (ioprio_valid() macros does that) and if it is so it returns bioprio/aioprio appropriately. Thus the next four lines, that set aclass/bclass to IOPRIO_CLASS_BE, if aclass/bclass == IOPRIO_CLASS_NONE, are never executed. The second problem: if aioprio from class IOPRIO_CLASS_NONE and bioprio from class IOPRIO_CLASS_IDLE are passed to ioprio_best function, it will return IOPRIO_CLASS_IDLE. It means that during __make_request we can merge two requests and set the priority of merged request to IDLE, while one of the initial requests originates from a process with NONE (default) priority. So we can get a situation when a process with default ioprio will experience IO starvation, while there is no process from real-time class in the system. Just removing ioprio_valid check should correct situation. Signed-off-by: Vasily Tarasov <vtaras@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
