powerpc: Fix bug in timebase synchronization on 32-bit SMP powermac
We were using udelay in the loop on the primary cpu waiting for the
secondary cpu to take the timebase value. Unfortunately now that
udelay uses the timebase, and the timebase is stopped at this point,
the udelay never terminated. This fixes it by not using udelay, and
increases the number of loops before we time out to compensate.
[ARM] 3168/1: Update ARM signal delivery and masking
Patch from Daniel Jacobowitz
After delivering a signal (creating its stack frame) we must check for
additional pending unblocked signals before returning to userspace.
Otherwise signals may be delayed past the next syscall or reschedule.
Once that was fixed it became obvious that the ARM signal mask manipulation
was broken. It was a little bit broken before the recent SA_NODEFER
changes, and then very broken after them. We must block the requested
signals before starting the handler or the same signal can be delivered
again before the handler even gets a chance to run.

I tried to convert both restart and reset to use msleep's with work
queue, but if we do that, host_set lock should be released after
initiating restart or reset, leading to race condition among
reset/restart, other interrupts and timeout. Implementing

[PATCH] md: fix is_mddev_idle calculation now that disk/sector accounting happens when request completes
md needs to monitor the rate of requests to its devices when doing
resync/recovery so that it can back-off when there is non-resync IO. It
does this by comparing resync IO, which it counts, with total IO which is
taken from disk_stats.
disk_stats were recently changed to account sectors when a request
completes instead of when it is queued. This upsets md's calculations.
We could do the sync_io accounting at the end of requests too, but that has
problems. If an underlying device is an md array, the accounting will
still be done when the request is submitted. This could be changed for
some raid levels, but it cannot be changed for raid0 or linear without
substantial code changes.
So instead, we increase the error that is_mddev_idle allows, up to the
maximum amount of resync IO that can be in flight at any time. The
calculation is current fragile as each personality as different limits for
in-flight resync. This should be fixed up.
For now, this simple patch fixes the problem.
Increasing the error margin decreases the sensitivity to non-resync IO. To
partially compensate for this, the time to wait when non-resync IO is
detected is increased so that less steady IO is required to keep the resync
at bay.
