c46dd1eb9a Input: hgpk - forced recalibration for the OLPC touchpad
The OLPC XO laptop incorporates a combination touchpad/tablet device
which unfortunately requires frequent recalibration.  The driver will
force this automatically when various suspicious behaviors are
observed, and the user can recalibrate manually (with a special
keyboard sequence). There's currently no way, however, for an external
program to cause recalibration. We can not use the reconnect
capability which is already available in /sys because full reset of
the touchpad takes 1.1 - 1.2 secons which is too long.

This patch creates a new node in /sys which, when written with '1',
will force a touchpad recalibration; no other writes (or reads)
of this node are supported.

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.

fails to keep the specified lock classes in order and explicitly

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]
