vcs: add poll/fasync support
The /dev/vcs* devices are used, amongst other things, by accessibility
applications such as BRLTTY to display the screen content onto refreshable
braille displays. Currently this is performed by constantly reading from
/dev/vcsa0 whether or not the screen content has changed. Given the
default braille refresh rate of 25 times per second, this easily qualifies
as the biggest source of wake-up events preventing laptops from entering
deeper power saving states.
To avoid this periodic polling, let's add support for select()/poll() and
SIGIO with the /dev/vcs* devices. The implemented semantic is to report
data availability whenever the corresponding vt has seen some update after
the last read() operation. The application still has to lseek() back
as usual in order to read() the new data.
Not to create unwanted overhead, the needed data structure is allocated
and the vt notification callback is registered only when the poll or
fasync method is invoked for the first time per file instance.

Char: mxser, call pci_disable_device from probe/remove
Vasiliy found that pci_disable_device is not called on fail paths in
mxser_probe. Actually, it is called from nowhere in the driver.
There are three changes needed:
1) don't use pseudo-generic mxser_release_res. Let's use it only from
ISA paths from now on. All the pci stuff is moved to probe and
remove PCI-related functions.
2) reorder fail-paths in the probe function so that it makes sense and
we can call them from the sequential code naturally (the further we
are the earlier label we go to).
3) add pci_disable_device both to mxser_probe and mxser_remove.
There is a nit of adding CONFIG_PCI ifdef to mxser_remove. it is
because this driver supports ISA-only compilations and it would choke
up on the newly added calls now.

serial-core: restore termios settings when resume console ports
The commit 4547be7 rewrites suspend and resume functions. According
to this rewrite, when a serial port is a printk console device and
can suspend(without set no_console_suspend flag), it will definitely
call set_termios function during its resume, but parameter termios
isn't initialized, this will pass an unpredictable config to the
serial port. If this serial port is not a userspace opened tty device
, a suspend and resume action will make this serial port unusable.
I.E. ttyS0 is a printk console device, ttyS1 or keyboard+display is
userspace tty device, a suspend/resume action will make ttyS0
unusable.
If a serial port is both a printk console device and an opened tty
device, this issue can be overcome because it will call set_termios
again with the correct parameter in the uart_change_speed function.
Refer to the deleted content of commit 4547be7, revert parts relate
to restore settings into parameter termios. It is safe because if
a serial port is a printk console only device, the only meaningful
field in termios is c_cflag and its old config is saved in
uport->cons->cflag, if this port is also an opened tty device,
it will clear uport->cons->cflag in the uart_open and the old config
is saved in tty->termios.

The cause for this problem is that when enter suspend, if we choose

It is safe to use wait_event_timeout() instead, because the timeout
will allow the process to exit if the I2C bus hangs. It's also better

ALSA: rawmidi: fix oops (use after free) when unloading a driver module
When a driver module is unloaded and the last still open file is a raw
MIDI device, the card and its devices will be actually freed in the
snd_card_file_remove() call when that file is closed. Afterwards, rmidi
and rmidi->card point into freed memory, so the module pointer is likely
to be garbage.

The compat code for the VIDIOCSMICROCODE ioctl is totally buggered.
It's only used by the VIDEO_STRADIS driver, and that one is scheduled to
staging and eventually removed unless somebody steps up to maintain it
(at which point it should use request_firmware() rather than some magic
ioctl). So we'll get rid of it eventually.
But in the meantime, the compatibility ioctl code is broken, and this
tries to get it to at least limp along (even if Mauro suggested just
deleting it entirely, which may be the right thing to do - I don't think
the compatibility translation code has ever worked unless you were very
lucky).

De-pessimize rds_page_copy_user
Don't try to "optimize" rds_page_copy_user() by using kmap_atomic() and
the unsafe atomic user mode accessor functions. It's actually slower
than the straightforward code on any reasonable modern CPU.
Back when the code was written (although probably not by the time it was
actually merged, though), 32-bit x86 may have been the dominant
architecture. And there kmap_atomic() can be a lot faster than kmap()
(unless you have very good locality, in which case the virtual address
caching by kmap() can overcome all the downsides).
But these days, x86-64 may not be more populous, but it's getting there
(and if you care about performance, it's definitely already there -
you'd have upgraded your CPU's already in the last few years). And on
x86-64, the non-kmap_atomic() version is faster, simply because the code
is simpler and doesn't have the "re-try page fault" case.
People with old hardware are not likely to care about RDS anyway, and
the optimization for the 32-bit case is simply buggy, since it doesn't
verify the user addresses properly.

mmc: sdio: fix SDIO suspend/resume regression
Fix SDIO suspend/resume regression introduced by 4c2ef25fe0b "mmc: fix
all hangs related to mmc/sd card insert/removal during suspend/resume":

Freezing user space processes ... (elapsed 0.01 seconds) done.

pm_op(): platform_pm_suspend+0x0/0x5c returns -38
PM: Device pxa2xx-mci.0 failed to suspend: error -38
PM: Some devices failed to suspend
4c2ef25fe0b moved the card removal/insertion mechanism out of MMC's
suspend/resume path and into pm notifiers (mmc_pm_notify), and that
broke SDIO's expectation that mmc_suspend_host() will remove the card,
and squash the error, in case -ENOSYS is returned from the bus suspend
handler (mmc_sdio_suspend() in this case).
mmc_sdio_suspend() is using this whenever at least one of the card's SDIO
function drivers does not have suspend/resume handlers - in that case
it is agreed to force removal of the entire card.
This patch fixes this regression by trivially bringing back that part of
mmc_suspend_host(), which was removed by 4c2ef25fe0b.

ubd: fix incorrect sector handling during request restart
Commit f81f2f7c (ubd: drop unnecessary rq->sector manipulation)
dropped request->sector manipulation in preparation for global request
handling cleanup; unfortunately, it incorrectly assumed that the
updated sector wasn't being used.
ubd tries to issue as many requests as possible to io_thread. When
issuing fails due to memory pressure or other reasons, the device is
put on the restart list and issuing stops. On IO completion, devices
on the restart list are scanned and IO issuing is restarted.
ubd issues IOs sg-by-sg and issuing can be stopped in the middle of a
request, so each device on the restart queue needs to remember where
to restart in its current request. ubd needs to keep track of the
issue position itself because,
* blk_rq_pos(req) is now updated by the block layer to keep track of
_completion_ position.
* Multiple io_req's for the current request may be in flight, so it's
difficult to tell where blk_rq_pos(req) currently is.
Add ubd->rq_pos to keep track of the issue position and use it to
correctly restart io_req issue.

Un-inline the core-dump helper functions
Tony Luck reports that the addition of the access_ok() check in commit 0eead9ab41da ("Don't dump task struct in a.out core-dumps") broke the
ia64 compile due to missing the necessary header file includes.
Rather than add yet another include (<asm/unistd.h>) to make everything
happy, just uninline the silly core dump helper functions and move the
bodies to fs/exec.c where they make a lot more sense.
dump_seek() in particular was too big to be an inline function anyway,
and none of them are in any way performance-critical. And we really
don't need to mess up our include file headers more than they already
are.

Also do the access_ok() check on dump_write(). It probably doesn't
matter (since normal filesystems all seem to do it anyway), but he
points out that it's normally done by the VFS layer, so ...
[ I suspect that we should possibly do "vfs_write()" instead of
calling ->write directly. That also does the whole fsnotify and write
statistics thing, which may or may not be a good idea. ]
