Michael Krufky 119a7c7e34 V4L/DVB (8035): tda18271: dont touch EB14 if rf_cal lookup is out of range
The TDA18271HD/C1 rf_cal map lookup is expected to go out of range outside
of the frequency window 41 MHz - 61.1 MHz.  In these cases, the internal
RF tracking filters calibration mechanism is used.

Michael Krufky 44e645c203 V4L/DVB (8034): tda18271: fix IF notch frequency handling
The IF notch bit gets unset when we update the Main Post Div register
value, before we have a chance to write the desired IF notch setting
to the tuner.  Move the IF notch configuration to after we update MPD.

Mauro Carvalho Chehab 0e7830b50b V4L/DVB (8029): Improve error message at tda1004x_attach
When an error occurs at firmware loading, sometimes, tda1004x stops answering.
Instead of reporting such error, attach code were assuming that the device were
answering an invalid ID (0xff). This can be seen when enabling debug options:

tda1004x: tda1004x_read_byte: reg=0x0
tda1004x: tda1004x_read_byte: error reg=0x0, ret=-5

Now, instead of reporting an invalid ID, it will report the correct error:

tda10046: chip is not answering. Giving up.
saa7133[0]/dvb: failed to attach tda10046
saa7133[0]/dvb: frontend initialization failed

A possible improvement would be trying to reset the device.

Mauro Carvalho Chehab bc36ec7464 V4L/DVB (8028): Improve error messages for tda1004x attach
A fresh copy of v.29 firmware, using get_firmware, is leading to an invalid
firmware:

DVB: registering new adapter (saa7133[0])
DVB: registering frontend 0 (Philips TDA10046H DVB-T)...
tda1004x: setting up plls for 48MHz sampling clock
tda1004x: found firmware revision ff -- invalid
tda1004x: trying to boot from eeprom
tda1004x: found firmware revision ff -- invalid
tda1004x: waiting for firmware upload...
tda1004x: Error during firmware upload
tda1004x: found firmware revision ff -- invalid
tda1004x: firmware upload failed

Sometimes, loading/unloading this firmware makes tda1004x to return an invalid
ID. However, there were no printk messages to help to identify what were the
cause for the error.

With this patch, it will now print:

Invalid tda1004x ID = 0xff. Can't proceed
saa7133[0]/dvb: failed to attach tda10046
saa7133[0]/dvb: frontend initialization failed

On some alsa versions, it seems that snd_pcm_substream_chip(substream)

Jeremy Fitzhardinge 400d34944c xen: add mechanism to extend existing multicalls
Some Xen hypercalls accept an array of operations to work on.  In
general this is because its more efficient for the hypercall to the
work all at once rather than as separate hypercalls (even batched as a
multicall).

This patch adds a mechanism (xen_mc_extend_args()) to allocate more
argument space to the last-issued multicall, in order to extend its
argument list.

The user of this mechanism is xen/mmu.c, which uses it to extend the
args array of mmu_update.  This is particularly valuable when doing
the update for a large mprotect, which goes via
ptep_modify_prot_commit(), but it also manages to batch updates to
pgd/pmds as well.

Jeremy Fitzhardinge e57778a1e3 xen: implement ptep_modify_prot_start/commit
Xen has a pte update function which will update a pte while preserving
its accessed and dirty bits.  This means that ptep_modify_prot_start() can be
implemented as a simple read of the pte value.  The hardware may
update the pte in the meantime, but ptep_modify_prot_commit() updates it while
preserving any changes that may have happened in the meantime.

The updates in ptep_modify_prot_commit() are batched if we're currently in lazy
mmu mode.

The mmu_update hypercall can take a batch of updates to perform, but
this code doesn't make particular use of that feature, in favour of
using generic multicall batching to get them all into the hypervisor.

The net effect of this is that each mprotect pte update turns from two
expensive trap-and-emulate faults into they hypervisor into a single
hypercall whose cost is amortized in a batched multicall.

Jeremy Fitzhardinge 08b882c627 paravirt: add hooks for ptep_modify_prot_start/commit
This patch adds paravirt-ops hooks in pv_mmu_ops for ptep_modify_prot_start and
ptep_modify_prot_commit.  This allows the hypervisor-specific backends to
implement these in some more efficient way.

Jeremy Fitzhardinge 1ea0704e0d mm: add a ptep_modify_prot transaction abstraction
This patch adds an API for doing read-modify-write updates to a pte's
protection bits which may race against hardware updates to the pte.
After reading the pte, the hardware may asynchonously set the accessed
or dirty bits on a pte, which would be lost when writing back the
modified pte value.

The existing technique to handle this race is to use
ptep_get_and_clear() atomically fetch the old pte value and clear it
in memory.  This has the effect of marking the pte as non-present,
which will prevent the hardware from updating its state.  When the new
value is written back, the pte will be present again, and the hardware
can resume updating the access/dirty flags.

When running in a virtualized environment, pagetable updates are
relatively expensive, since they generally involve some trap into the
hypervisor.  To mitigate the cost of these updates, we tend to batch
them.

However, because of the atomic nature of ptep_get_and_clear(), it is
inherently non-batchable.  This new interface allows batching by
giving the underlying implementation enough information to open a
transaction between the read and write phases:

ptep_modify_prot_start() returns the current pte value, and puts the
  pte entry into a state where either the hardware will not update the
  pte, or if it does, the updates will be preserved on commit.

ptep_modify_prot_commit() writes back the updated pte, makes sure that
  any hardware updates made since ptep_modify_prot_start() are
  preserved.

ptep_modify_prot_start() and _commit() must be exactly paired, and
used while holding the appropriate pte lock.  They do not protect
against other software updates of the pte in any way.

The current implementations of ptep_modify_prot_start and _commit are
functionally unchanged from before: _start() uses ptep_get_and_clear()
fetch the pte and zero the entry, preventing any hardware updates.
_commit() simply writes the new pte value back knowing that the
hardware has not updated the pte in the meantime.

The only current user of this interface is mprotect
