drm/nouveau: make vga_switcheroo code depend on VGA_SWITCHEROO
Commit 8116188fdef594 ("nouveau/acpi: hook up to the MXM method for mux
switching.") broke the build on non-x86 architectures due to the new
dependency on MXM and MXM being an x86 platform driver.
It built previously since the vga switcheroo registration routines were
zereod out on !X86. The code was built in but unused.
This patch makes all of the DSM code depend on CONFIG_VGA_SWITCHEROO,
allowing it to build on non-x86 and shrinking the module size as well.

Since we already have a panic handler which will (try) to restore the

Note that the entire locking in the fb helper around panic/sysrq and kdbg

just copy PG_active and PG_unevictable from head page in

This will fix one more bug in lru_add_page_tail(): if
page_evictable(page_tail) is false and PageLRU(page) is true, page_tail
will go to the same lru as page, but nobody cares to sync page_tail

drm/i915: correctly restore fences with objects attached

Unfortunately we've missed that tricky detail when adding proper fence

drm/i915: Restore fences after resume and GPU resets
The result was that we've restored fences for objects with no tiling,
since the object<->fence link still existed after resume. Now that
wouldn't have been too bad since any subsequent access would have
fixed things up, but if we've changed from tiled to untiled real havoc
happened:
The tiling stride is stored -1 in the fence register, so a stride of 0
resulted in all 1s in the top 32bits, and so a completely bogus fence
spanning everything from the start of the object to the top of the
GTT. The tell-tale in the register dumps looks like:
FENCE START 2: 0x0214d001
FENCE END 2: 0xfffff3ff
Bit 11 isn't set since the hw doesn't store it, even when writing all
1s (at least on my snb here).
To prevent such a gaffle in the future add a sanity check for fences
with an untiled object attached in i915_gem_write_fence.

v3: Trying to reuse get_fences looked ugly and obfuscated the code.
Instead reuse update_fence and to make it really dtrt also move the
fence dirty state clearing into update_fence.

rtlwifi: Fix build errors for unusual cases
The present build configuration for the rtlwifi family of drivers will
fail under two known conditions:
(1) If rtlwifi is selected without selecting any of the dependent drivers,
there are errors in the build.
(2) If the PCI drivers are built into the kernel and the USB drivers are modules,
or vice versa, there are missing globals.
The first condition is fixed by never building rtlwifi unless at least one
of the device drivers is selected. The second failure is fixed by splitting
the PCI and USB codes out of rtlwifi, and creating their own mini drivers.
If the drivers that use them are modules, they will also be modules.
Although a number of files are touched by this patch, only Makefile and Kconfig
have undergone significant changes. The only modifications to the other files
were to export entry points needed by the new rtl_pci and rtl_usb units, or to
rename two variables that had names that were likely to cause namespace collisions.

pkt_sched: sch_qfq: remove a source of high packet delay/jitter
QFQ+ inherits from QFQ a design choice that may cause a high packet
delay/jitter and a severe short-term unfairness. As QFQ, QFQ+ uses a
special quantity, the system virtual time, to track the service
provided by the ideal system it approximates. When a packet is
dequeued, this quantity must be incremented by the size of the packet,
divided by the sum of the weights of the aggregates waiting to be
served. Tracking this sum correctly is a non-trivial task, because, to
preserve tight service guarantees, the decrement of this sum must be
delayed in a special way [1]: this sum can be decremented only after
that its value would decrease also in the ideal system approximated by
QFQ+. For efficiency, QFQ+ keeps track only of the 'instantaneous'
weight sum, increased and decreased immediately as the weight of an
aggregate changes, and as an aggregate is created or destroyed (which,
in its turn, happens as a consequence of some class being
created/destroyed/changed). However, to avoid the problems caused to
service guarantees by these immediate decreases, QFQ+ increments the
system virtual time using the maximum value allowed for the weight
sum, 2^10, in place of the dynamic, instantaneous value. The
instantaneous value of the weight sum is used only to check whether a
request of weight increase or a class creation can be satisfied.
Unfortunately, the problems caused by this choice are worse than the
temporary degradation of the service guarantees that may occur, when a
class is changed or destroyed, if the instantaneous value of the
weight sum was used to update the system virtual time. In fact, the
fraction of the link bandwidth guaranteed by QFQ+ to each aggregate is
equal to the ratio between the weight of the aggregate and the sum of
the weights of the competing aggregates. The packet delay guaranteed
to the aggregate is instead inversely proportional to the guaranteed
bandwidth. By using the maximum possible value, and not the actual
value of the weight sum, QFQ+ provides each aggregate with the worst
possible service guarantees, and not with service guarantees related
to the actual set of competing aggregates. To see the consequences of
this fact, consider the following simple example.
Suppose that only the following aggregates are backlogged, i.e., that
only the classes in the following aggregates have packets to transmit:
one aggregate with weight 10, say A, and ten aggregates with weight 1,
say B1, B2, ..., B10. In particular, suppose that these aggregates are
always backlogged. Given the weight distribution, the smoothest and
fairest service order would be:
A B1 A B2 A B3 A B4 A B5 A B6 A B7 A B8 A B9 A B10 A B1 A B2 ...
QFQ+ would provide exactly this optimal service if it used the actual
value for the weight sum instead of the maximum possible value, i.e.,
11 instead of 2^10. In contrast, since QFQ+ uses the latter value, it
serves aggregates as follows (easy to prove and to reproduce
experimentally):
A B1 B2 B3 B4 B5 B6 B7 B8 B9 B10 A A A A A A A A A A B1 B2 ... B10 A A ...
By replacing 10 with N in the above example, and by increasing N, one
can increase at will the maximum packet delay and the jitter
experienced by the classes in aggregate A.
This patch addresses this issue by just using the above
'instantaneous' value of the weight sum, instead of the maximum
possible value, when updating the system virtual time. After the
instantaneous weight sum is decreased, QFQ+ may deviate from the ideal
service for a time interval in the order of the time to serve one
maximum-size packet for each backlogged class. The worst-case extent
of the deviation exhibited by QFQ+ during this time interval [1] is
basically the same as of the deviation described above (but, without
this patch, QFQ+ suffers from such a deviation all the time). Finally,
this patch modifies the comment to the function qfq_slot_insert, to
make it coherent with the fact that the weight sum used by QFQ+ can
now be lower than the maximum possible value.

Merge tag 'driver-core-3.11-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core
Pull driver core patches from Greg KH:
"Here are some driver core patches for 3.11-rc2. They aren't really
bugfixes, but a bunch of new helper macros for drivers to properly
create attribute groups, which drivers and subsystems need to fix up a
ton of race issues with incorrectly creating sysfs files (binary and
normal) after userspace has been told that the device is present.
Also here is the ability to create binary files as attribute groups,
to solve that race condition, which was impossible to do before this,
so that's my fault the drivers were broken.
The majority of the .c changes is indenting and moving code around a
bit. It affects no existing code, but allows the large backlog of 70+
patches that I already have created to start flowing into the
different subtrees, instead of having to live in my driver-core tree,
causing merge nightmares in linux-next for the next few months.
These were finalized too late for the -rc1 merge window, which is why
they were didn't make that pull request, testing and review from
others didn't happen until a few weeks ago, and then there's the whole
distraction of the past few days, which prevented these from getting
to you sooner, sorry about that.
Oh, and there's a bugfix for the documentation build warning in here
as well. All of these have been in linux-next this week, with no
reported problems"

ACPI / video: ignore BIOS initial backlight value for Fujitsu E753
The BIOS of FUjitsu E753 reports an incorrect initial backlight value
for WIN8 compatible OS, causing backlight to be dark during startup.
This change causes the incorrect initial value from BIOS to be ignored.

Merge branch 'cpuinit_phase2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux
Pull phase two of __cpuinit removal from Paul Gortmaker:
"With the __cpuinit infrastructure removed earlier, this group of
commits only removes the function/data tagging that was done with the
various (now no-op) __cpuinit related prefixes.
Now that the dust has settled with yesterday's v3.11-rc1, there
hopefully shouldn't be any new users leaking back in tree, but I think
we can leave the harmless no-op stubs there for a release as a
courtesy to those who still have out of tree stuff and weren't paying
attention.
Although the commits are against the recent tag to allow for minor
context refreshes for things like yesterday's v3.11-rc1~ slab content,
the patches have been largely unchanged for weeks, aside from such
trivial updates.
For detail junkies, the largely boring and mostly irrelevant history
of the patches can be viewed at:
If nothing else, I guess it does at least demonstrate the level of
involvement required to shepherd such a treewide change to completion.
This is the same repository of patches that has been applied to the
end of the daily linux-next branches for the past several weeks"
