Wei Chong Tan reported a fast-PIT-calibration corner-case:

| pit_expect_msb() is vulnerable to SMI disturbance corner case
| in some platforms which causes /proc/cpuinfo to show wrong
| CPU MHz value when quick_pit_calibrate() jumps to success
| section.

I think that the real issue isn't even an SMI - but the fact
that in the very last iteration of the loop, there's no
serializing instruction _after_ the last 'rdtsc'. So even in
the absense of SMI's, we do have a situation where the cycle
counter was read without proper serialization.

The last check should be done outside the outer loop, since
_inside_ the outer loop, we'll be testing that the PIT has
the right MSB value has the right value in the next iteration.

So only the _last_ iteration is special, because that's the one
that will not check the PIT MSB value any more, and because the
final 'get_cycles()' isn't serialized.

In other words:

 - I'd like to move the PIT MSB check to after the last
   iteration, rather than in every iteration

 - I think we should comment on the fact that it's also a
   serializing instruction and so 'fences in' the TSC read.

Here's a suggested replacement.

This patch implements the kernel side support for ftrace event
record sampling.

A new counter sampling attribute is added:

   PERF_SAMPLE_TP_RECORD

which requests ftrace events record sampling. In this case
if a PERF_TYPE_TRACEPOINT counter is active and a tracepoint
fires, we emit the tracepoint binary record to the
perfcounter event buffer, as a sample.

Result, after setting PERF_SAMPLE_TP_RECORD attribute from perf
record:

 perf record -f -F 1 -a -e workqueue:workqueue_execution
 perf report -D

The check for an edge is broken in current ioapic code. ioapic->irr is
cleared on each edge interrupt by ioapic_service() and this makes
old_irr != ioapic->irr condition in kvm_ioapic_set_irq() to be always
true. The patch fixes the code to properly recognise edge.

Some HW emulation calls set_irq() without level change. If each such
call is propagated to an OS it may confuse a device driver. This is the
case with keyboard device emulation and Windows XP x64  installer on SMP VM.
Each keystroke produce two interrupts (down/up) one interrupt is
submitted to CPU0 and another to CPU1. This confuses Windows somehow
and it ignores keystrokes.

The code which takes probed modes and adds them to a connector eliminates
duplicate modes by comparing them using drm_mode_equal. That function
doesn't consider the type bits, which means that any modes which differ only
in the type field will be lost.

One of the bits in the mode->type field is the DRM_MODE_TYPE_PREFERRED bit.
If the mode with that bit is lost, then higher level code will not know
which mode to select, causing a random mode to be used instead.

This patch simply merges the two mode type bits together; that seems
reasonable to me, but perhaps only a subset of the bits should be used? None
of these can be user defined as they all come from looking at just the
hardware.

This patch (as1273) fixes two(!) bugs introduced by the new
Clear-TT-Buffer implementation in ehci-hcd.

	It is now possible for an idle QH to have some URBs on its
	queue -- this will happen if a Clear-TT-Buffer is pending for
	the QH's endpoint.  Consequently we should not issue a warning
	when someone tries to unlink an URB from an idle QH; instead
	we should process the request immediately.

	The refcounts for QHs could get messed up, because
	submit_async() would increment the refcount when calling
	qh_link_async() and qh_link_async() would then refuse to link
	the QH into the schedule if a Clear-TT-Buffer was pending.
	Instead we should increment the refcount only when the QH
	actually is added to the schedule.  The current code tries to
	be clever by leaving the refcount alone if an unlink is
	immediately followed by a relink; the patch changes this to an
	unconditional decrement and increment (although they occur in
	the opposite order).
