[PATCH] Fix sparse parse error in lppaca.h
sparse can't parse a struct definition in include/asm-powerpc/lppaca.h,
even though gcc can accept it. The form looks like this:
struct __attribute__((whatever)) foo { };
An equivalent that both gcc and sparse can handle is
struct foo { } __attribute__((whatever));
This is the only definition of this type in the tree, and fixing it is
easier than fixing sparse.

[ Side note: fixing sparse wouldn't be hard, but the "attribute at the
end" version is the canonical one, and the one that makes sense. So
let's just fix the kernel instead. Luc Van Oostenryck already sent
out a sparse patch to the sparse mailing list in case anybody cares.

There are a couple of problems in the DMA setup code for skge.
* In the 64 bit case, it doesn't set the consistent mask.
* In the 32 bit case, the error check is backwards!
It likely will only be visible as a bug on 64 bit platforms.

Fix problems with Yukon FE rev 2 chipset. Don't cut and paste bugs in from

clearer. Also, set the thresholds where rx takes precedence. The threshold
values are just guesses at this point, it might be worth tuning them later.

Ensure a consistent value is read from the STICK register by ensuring
that both high and low are read without high changing due to a roll
over of the low register.
Various Debian/SPARC users (myself include) have noticed problems with
Hummingbird based systems. The symptoms are that the system time is
seen to jump forward 3 days, 6 hours, 11 minutes give or take a few
seconds. In many cases the system then hangs some time afterwards.
I've spotted a race condition in the code to read the STICK register.
I could not work out why 3d, 6h, 11m is important but guess that it is
due to the 2^32 jump of STICK (forwards on one read and then the next
read will seem to be backwards) during a timer interrupt. I'm guessing
that a change of -2^32 will get converted to a large unsigned
increment after the arithmetic manipulation between STICK,
nanoseconds, jiffies etc.
I did a test where I modified __hbird_read_stick to artificially
inject rollover faults forcefully every few seconds. With this I saw
the clock jump over 6 times in 12 hours compared to once every month
or so.

[PATCH] mv643xx_eth: Hold spinlocks only where needed
This driver has historically held a spin_lock during the entire open
and stop functions and while receiving multiple packets. This is
unecessarily long and holds locks during calls that may sleep.
This patch reduces the size of windows where locks are held.
The Marvell mv643xx ethernet hardware requires that DMA buffers be
aligned to 8-byte boundaries. This patch satisfies this requirement.
Buffers allocated by dev_alloc_skb() only have 4-byte alignment when
slab debugging is enabled.
Also, document that the 2-byte offset to align the IP packets on
receive is a hardware feature and is not tied to NET_IP_ALIGN.

[IPV4]: rt_cache_stat can be statically defined
Using __get_cpu_var(obj) is slightly faster than per_cpu_ptr(obj,
raw_smp_processor_id()).
1) Smaller code and memory use
For static and small objects, DEFINE_PER_CPU(type, object) is preferred over a
alloc_percpu() : Better and smaller code to access them, and no extra memory
(storing the pointer, and the percpu array of pointers)
x86_64 code before patch
mov 1237577(%rip),%rax # ffffffff803e5990 <rt_cache_stat>
not %rax # part of per_cpu machinery
mov %gs:0x3c,%edx # get cpu number
movslq %edx,%rdx # extend 32 bits cpu number to 64 bits
mov (%rax,%rdx,8),%rax # get the pointer for this cpu
incl 0x38(%rax)
x86_64 code after patch
mov $per_cpu__rt_cache_stat,%rdx
mov %gs:0x48,%rax # get percpu data offset
incl 0x38(%rax,%rdx,1)
2) False sharing avoidance for SMP :
For a small NR_CPUS, the array of per cpu pointers allocated in alloc_percpu()
can be <= 32 bytes. This let slab code gives a part of a cache line. If the
other part of this 64 bytes (or 128 bytes) cache line is used by a mostly
written object, we can have false sharing and expensive per_cpu_ptr() operations.
Size of rt_cache_stat is 64 bytes, so this patch is not a danger of a too big
increase of bss (in UP mode) or static per_cpu data for SMP
(PERCPU_ENOUGH_ROOM is currently 32768 bytes)
