2010-02-23x86/PCI: use host bridge _CRS info by default on 2008 and newer machinesBjorn Helgaas
The main benefit of using ACPI host bridge window information is that we can do better resource allocation in systems with multiple host bridges, e.g., http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14183 Sometimes we need _CRS information even if we only have one host bridge, e.g., https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/341681 Most of these systems are relatively new, so this patch turns on "pci=use_crs" only on machines with a BIOS date of 2008 or newer.

It did mention autoconfigured in the text, but the below makes it more obvious. More clearly document IPv6 max_addresses parameter.

2010-02-22PCI PM: Make it possible to force using INTx for PCIe PME signalingRafael J. Wysocki
Apparently, some machines may have problems with PCI run-time power management if MSIs are used for the native PCIe PME signaling. In particular, on the MSI Wind U-100 PCIe PME interrupts are not generated by a PCIe root port after a resume from suspend to RAM, if the system wake-up was triggered by a PME from the device attached to this port. [It doesn't help to free the interrupt on suspend and request it back on resume, even if that is done along with disabling the MSI and re-enabling it, respectively.] However, if INTx interrupts are used for this purpose on the same machine, everything works just fine. For this reason, add a kernel command line switch allowing one to request that MSIs be not used for the native PCIe PME signaling, introduce a DMI table allowing us to blacklist machines that need this switch to be set by default and put the MSI Wind U-100 into this table.

2010-02-22PCI PM: PCIe PME root port service driverRafael J. Wysocki
PCIe native PME detection mechanism is based on interrupts generated by root ports or event collectors every time a PCIe device sends a PME message upstream. Once a PME message has been sent by an endpoint device and received by its root port (or event collector in the case of root complex integrated endpoints), the Requester ID from the message header is registered in the root port's Root Status register. At the same time, the PME Status bit of the Root Status register is set to indicate that there's a PME to handle. If PCIe PME interrupt is enabled for the root port, it generates an interrupt once the PME Status has been set. After receiving the interrupt, the kernel can identify the PCIe device that generated the PME using the Requester ID from the root port's Root Status register. [For details, see PCI Express Base Specification, Rev. 2.0.] Implement a driver for the PCIe PME root port service working in accordance with the above description.

2010-02-20ARM: allow alignment fault mode to be configured at kernel bootRussell King
Some glibc versions intentionally create lots of alignment faults in their gconv code, which if not fixed up, results in segfaults during boot. This can prevent systems booting properly. There is no clear hard-configurable default for this; the desired default depends on the nature of the userspace which is going to be booted. So, provide a way for the alignment fault handler to be configured via the kernel command line. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
