d6b5150288 imxfb: use resource_size() macro
This fixes an off-by-one error. Also, use dev_err instead of printk
in probe() function.

61f3826133 genirq: Fix UP compile failure caused by irq_thread_check_affinity
Since genirq: Delegate irq affinity setting to the irq thread
(591d2fb02e) compilation with
CONFIG_SMP=n fails with following error:

/usr/src/linux-2.6/kernel/irq/manage.c:
   In function 'irq_thread_check_affinity':
/usr/src/linux-2.6/kernel/irq/manage.c:475:
   error: 'struct irq_desc' has no member named 'affinity'
make[4]: *** [kernel/irq/manage.o] Error 1

That commit adds a new function irq_thread_check_affinity() which
uses struct irq_desc.affinity which is only available for CONFIG_SMP=y.
Move that function under #ifdef CONFIG_SMP.

The presumed use of the pipe_double_lock() routine is to lock 2 locks in
a deadlock free way by ordering the locks by their address. However it
fails to keep the specified lock classes in order and explicitly
annotates a deadlock.

dfe5a50461 perf: avoid structure size confusion by using a fixed size
for some reason, this structure gets compiled as 36 bytes in some files
(the ones that alloacte it) but 40 bytes in others (the ones that use it).
The cause is an off_t type that gets a different size in different
compilation units for some yet-to-be-explained reason.

But the effect is disasterous; the size/offset members of the struct
are at different offsets, and result in mostly complete garbage.
The parser in perf is so robust that this all gets hidden, and after
skipping an certain amount of samples, it recovers.... so this bug
is not normally noticed.

.... except when you want every sample to be exact.

Fix this by just using an explicitly sized type.

7f453c24b9 perf_counter: PERF_SAMPLE_ID and inherited counters
Anton noted that for inherited counters the counter-id as provided by
PERF_SAMPLE_ID isn't mappable to the id found through PERF_RECORD_ID
because each inherited counter gets its own id.

His suggestion was to always return the parent counter id, since that
is the primary counter id as exposed. However, these inherited
counters have a unique identifier so that events like
PERF_EVENT_PERIOD and PERF_EVENT_THROTTLE can be specific about which
counter gets modified, which is important when trying to normalize the
sample streams.

This patch removes PERF_EVENT_PERIOD in favour of PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD,
which is more useful anyway, since changing periods became a lot more
common than initially thought -- rendering PERF_EVENT_PERIOD the less
useful solution (also, PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD reports the more accurate
value, since it reports the value used to trigger the overflow,
whereas PERF_EVENT_PERIOD simply reports the requested period changed,
which might only take effect on the next cycle).

This still leaves us PERF_EVENT_THROTTLE to consider, but since that
_should_ be a rare occurrence, and linking it to a primary id is the
most useful bit to diagnose the problem, we introduce a
PERF_SAMPLE_STREAM_ID, for those few cases where the full
reconstruction is important.

[Does change the ABI a little, but I see no other way out]

3730793d45 fbmon: work around compiler bug in gcc-2.4.2
There's some odd bug in gcc-4.2 where it miscompiles a simple loop whent
he loop counter is of type 'unsigned char' and it should count to 128.

The compiler will incorrectly decide that a trivial loop like this:

	unsigned char i, ...

	for (i = 0; i < 128; i++) {
		..

is endless, and will compile it to a single instruction that just
branches to itself.

This was triggered by the addition of '-fno-strict-overflow', and we
could play games with compiler versions and go back to '-fwrapv'
instead, but the trivial way to avoid it is to just make the loop
induction variable be an 'int' instead.

Thanks to Krzysztof Oledzki for reporting and testing and to Troy Moure
for digging through assembler differences and finding it.

9ba5f005c9 softirq: introduce tasklet_hrtimer infrastructure
commit ca109491f (hrtimer: removing all ur callback modes) moved all
hrtimer callbacks into hard interrupt context when high resolution
timers are active. That breaks code which relied on the assumption
that the callback happens in softirq context.

Provide a generic infrastructure which combines tasklets and hrtimers
together to provide an in-softirq hrtimer experience.
