Allowing user code to map the HPET is problematic. HPET
implementations are notoriously buggy, and there are probably many
machines on which even MMIO reads from bogus HPET addresses are
problematic.
We have a report that the Dell Precision M2800 with:
ACPI: HPET 0x00000000C8FE6238 000038 (v01 DELL CBX3 01072009 AMI. 00000005)
is either so slow when accessing the HPET or actually hangs in some
regard, causing soft lockups to be reported if users do unexpected
things to the HPET.
The vclock HPET code has also always been a questionable speedup.
Accessing an HPET is exceedingly slow (on the order of several
microseconds), so the added overhead in requiring a syscall to read
the HPET is a small fraction of the total code of accessing it.
To avoid future problems, let's just delete the code entirely.
In the long run, this could actually be a speedup. Waiman Long as a
patch to optimize the case where multiple CPUs contend for the HPET,
but that won't help unless all the accesses are mediated by the
kernel.

ARCH_GET_FS and ARCH_GET_GS attempted to figure out the fsbase and
gsbase respectively from saved thread state. This was wrong: fsbase
and gsbase live in registers while a thread is running, not in
memory.
For reasons I can't fathom, the fsbase and gsbase code were
different. Since neither was correct, I didn't try to figure out
what the point of the difference was.
Change it to simply read the MSRs.
The code for reading the base for a remote thread is also completely
wrong if the target thread uses its own descriptors (which is the case
for all 32-bit threaded programs), but fixing that is a different
story.

This can occur because the SPI controller driver (SPI_PXA2XX) is built as
module and thus not necessarily loaded. While building SPI_PXA2XX into the
kernel would make the problem disappear, it appears prudent to ensure that
the driver is instantiated before accessing its data structures.

Pull orangefs filesystem from Mike Marshall.
This finally merges the long-pending orangefs filesystem, which has been
much cleaned up with input from Al Viro over the last six months. From
the documentation file:
"OrangeFS is an LGPL userspace scale-out parallel storage system. It
is ideal for large storage problems faced by HPC, BigData, Streaming
Video, Genomics, Bioinformatics.
Orangefs, originally called PVFS, was first developed in 1993 by Walt
Ligon and Eric Blumer as a parallel file system for Parallel Virtual
Machine (PVM) as part of a NASA grant to study the I/O patterns of
parallel programs.
Orangefs features include:
- Distributes file data among multiple file servers
- Supports simultaneous access by multiple clients
- Stores file data and metadata on servers using local file system
and access methods
- Userspace implementation is easy to install and maintain
- Direct MPI support
- Stateless"

Commit 0b81d07790 ("fs crypto: move per-file encryption from f2fs
tree to fs/crypto") moved the f2fs crypto files to fs/crypto/ and
renamed the symbol prefixes from "f2fs_" to "fscrypt_" (and from "F2FS_"
to just "FS" for preprocessor symbols).
Because of the symbol renaming, it's a bit hard to see it as a file
move: use
git show -M30 0b81d07790
to lower the rename detection to just 30% similarity and make git show
the files as renamed (the header file won't be shown as a rename even
then - since all it contains is symbol definitions, it looks almost
completely different).
Even with the renames showing as renames, the diffs are not all that
easy to read, since so much is just the renames. But Eric Biggers
noticed that it's not just all renames: the initialization of the
xts_tweak had been broken too, using the inode number rather than the
page offset.
That's not right - it makes the xfs_tweak the same for all pages of each
inode. It _might_ make sense to make the xfs_tweak contain both the
offset _and_ the inode number, but not just the inode number.
