Suresh points out that commit b0423a0d
broke the semantics of a synchronous signal like SIGSEGV occurring
recursively inside its own handler handler (or, indeed, any other
context when the signal was blocked).

That was unintentional, and this fixes things up by reinstating the old
semantics, but without reverting the cleanups.

Since we now use the generic backlight infrastructure, I think we need to
call rivafb_bl_init before calling register_framebuffer since otherwise
rivafb_bl_init might race with the framebuffer layer already opening the
device and setting up the video mode.  In this case we might end up with a
not yet fully intialized backlight (info->bl_dev still NULL) when calling
riva_bl_set_power via rivafb_set_par/rivafb_load_video_mode and the kernel
dies without any further notice during boot.

This fixes booting current git on a PB 6,1.  In this case radeonfb/atyfb
would be affected too - I can fix that too but don't have any hardware to
test this on.

- via-pmu allows the backlight to be grabbed, in which case we need to

- Don't send PMU requests in via-pmu-backlight when the machine is about

Many IBM Thinkpad T4* models and some R* and X* with radeon video cards draw
too much power when suspended to RAM, reducing drastically the battery
lifetime.  The solution is to enable suspend-to-D2 on these machines.  They
are whitelisted through their subsystem vendor/device ID.  This fixes
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3022

The patch introduces a framework to alter the pm_mode and reinit_func fields
of the radeonfb_info structure based on a whitelist.  This should facilitate
future hardware-dependent workarounds.  The workaround for the Samsung P35
that is already in the radeonfb code has been rewritten using this framework.

The behavior can be overridden with module options:

i)  video=radeonfb:force_sleep=1
    enable suspend-to-D2 also on non-whitelisted machines (useful for
    testing new notebook models),

ii) video=radeonfb:ignore_devlist=1
    Disable checking the whitelist and do not apply any workarounds.

The backlight and lcd subsystems can be notified by the framebuffer layer
of blanking events.  However, these subsystems, as a whole, can function
independently from the framebuffer layer.  But in order to enable to the
lcd and backlight subsystems, the framebuffer has to be compiled also,
effectively sucking in a huge amount of unneeded code.

To prevent dependency problems, separate out the framebuffer notification
mechanism from the framebuffer layer and permanently link it to the kernel.

It is entirely possible (though rare) that jiffies half-wraps around, while a
dentry/inode remains in the cache.  This could mean that the dentry/inode is
not invalidated for another half wraparound-time.

To get around this problem, use 64-bit jiffies.  The only problem with this is
that dentry->d_time is 32 bits on 32-bit archs.  So use d_fsdata as the high
32 bits.  This is an ugly hack, but far simpler, than having to allocate
private data just for this purpose.

Since 64-bit jiffies can be assumed never to wrap around, simple comparison
can be used, and a zero time value can represent "invalid".

The latest toolchains can produce a new ELF section in DSOs and
dynamically-linked executables.  The new section ".gnu.hash" replaces
".hash", and allows for more efficient runtime symbol lookups by the
dynamic linker.  The new ld option --hash-style={sysv|gnu|both} controls
whether to produce the old ".hash", the new ".gnu.hash", or both.  In some
new systems such as Fedora Core 6, gcc by default passes --hash-style=gnu
to the linker, so that a standard invocation of "gcc -shared" results in
producing a DSO with only ".gnu.hash".  The new ".gnu.hash" sections need
to be dealt with the same way as ".hash" sections in all respects; only the
dynamic linker cares about their contents.  To work with older dynamic
linkers (i.e.  preexisting releases of glibc), a binary must have the old
".hash" section.  The --hash-style=both option produces binaries that a new
dynamic linker can use more efficiently, but an old dynamic linker can
still handle.

The new section runs afoul of the custom linker scripts used to build vDSO
images for the kernel.  On ia64, the failure mode for this is a boot-time
panic because the vDSO's PT_IA_64_UNWIND segment winds up ill-formed.

This patch addresses the problem in two ways.

First, it mentions ".gnu.hash" in all the linker scripts alongside ".hash".
 This produces correct vDSO images with --hash-style=sysv (or old tools),
with --hash-style=gnu, or with --hash-style=both.

Second, it passes the --hash-style=sysv option when building the vDSO
images, so that ".gnu.hash" is not actually produced.  This is the most
conservative choice for compatibility with any old userland.  There is some
concern that some ancient glibc builds (though not any known old production
system) might choke on --hash-style=both binaries.  The optimizations
provided by the new style of hash section do not really matter for a DSO
with a tiny number of symbols, as the vDSO has.  If someone wants to use
=gnu or =both for their vDSO builds and worry less about that
compatibility, just change the option and the linker script changes will
make any choice work fine.

The recent changes from irqtrace feature has added overheads to
local_bh_disable and local_bh_enable that reduces UDP performance across
x86_64 and IA64, even though IA64 does not support the irqtrace feature.
Patch in question is

[PATCH]lockdep: irqtrace subsystem, core
http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=c
ommit;h=de30a2b3

Prior to this patch, local_bh_disable was a short macro.  Now it is a
function which calls __local_bh_disable with added irq flags save and
restore.  The irq flags save and restore were also added to
local_bh_enable, probably for injecting the trace irqs code.

This overhead is on the generic code path across all architectures.  On a
IA_64 test machine (Itanium-2 1.6 GHz) running a benchmark like netperf's
UDP streaming test, the added overhead results in a drop of 3% in
throughput, as udp_sendmsg calls the local_bh_enable/disable several times.

Other workloads that have heavy usages of local_bh_enable/disable could
also be affected.  The patch ideally should not have affected IA-64
performance as it does not have IRQ tracing support.  A significant portion
of the overhead is in the added irq flags save and restore, which I think
is not needed if IRQ tracing is unused.  A suggested patch is attached
below that recovers the lost performance.  However, the "ifdef"s in the
patch are a bit ugly.
