Impact: circular locking bugfix The various implemetnations and proposed implemetnations of work_on_cpu() are vulnerable to various deadlocks because they all used queues of some form. Unrelated pieces of kernel code thus gained dependencies wherein if one work_on_cpu() caller holds a lock which some other work_on_cpu() callback also takes, the kernel could rarely deadlock. Fix this by creating a short-lived kernel thread for each work_on_cpu() invokation. This is not terribly fast, but the only current caller of work_on_cpu() is pci_call_probe(). It would be nice to find some other way of doing the node-local allocations in the PCI probe code so that we can zap work_on_cpu() altogether. The code there is rather nasty. I can't think of anything simple at this time... Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

Justin Waters authored
The flexible array in the USBH platform data is not safe to copy. The compiler will not allocate any extra memory for the non-init platform data structure (in the *_devices.c files) since it isn't given any defaults at compile time. When the probe function attempts to address that array, it will actually attempt to access data in an adjacent structure. Since there are currently no (known) implementations of the at91 USBH IP with more than 2 vbus pins, I am capping the value at 2. If somebody tries to assign more, then the compiler will produce a warning.

Some cards are not able to calculate a valid CRC16 value for CID and CSD reads (CRC for 512 byte data blocks is OK). By moving the CRC enable after the read of CID and CSD, these cards can be used. This patch was tested with a faulty 8 GByte takeMS Class 6 SDHC card. This patch was suggested by Pierre Ossman.

Spurious IRQs seen on MMC after 2.6.29. Flush posted write in IRQ handler. The interrupt line is released by clearing the error status bits in the MMCHS_STAT register, which must occur before the interrupt handler returns to avoid unwanted irqs. Hence the need to flush the posted write.

Add support for Always Running APIC timer, CPUID_0x6_EAX_Bit2. This bit means the APIC timer continues to run even when CPU is in deep C-states. The advantage is that we can use LAPIC timer on these CPUs always, and there is no need for "slow to read and program" external timers (HPET/PIT) and the timer broadcast logic and related code in C-state entry and exit.
