driver core: prevent device_for_each_child from oopsing
David Vrabel noticed that the wireless usb stack likes to call
device_for_each_chile() with an empty bus. This used to work fine, but
now oopses. This patch fixes the oops and makes the code behave like it
used to.

dynamic debug: resurrect old pr_debug() semantics as pr_devel()
pr_debug() used to produce zero code unless DEBUG was #defined. This is
now no longer the case in practice[1].
There are places where it's useful to have debugging printks, but we don't
want them to generate any code in production kernels.
So add a new macro, pr_devel(), for _devel_opment, to provide the old
semantics, ie. if the programmer doesn't explicitly enable debugging, no
code is produced.
[1]: You can turn CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG off, but it's enabled in at least
one distro kernel, so it's not really a solution.

Driver Core: early platform driver
V3 of the early platform driver implementation.
Platform drivers are great for embedded platforms because we can separate
driver configuration from the actual driver. So base addresses,
interrupts and other configuration can be kept with the processor or board
code, and the platform driver can be reused by many different platforms.
For early devices we have nothing today. For instance, to configure early
timers and early serial ports we cannot use platform devices. This
because the setup order during boot. Timers are needed before the
platform driver core code is available. The same goes for early printk
support. Early in this case means before initcalls.
These early drivers today have their configuration either hard coded or
they receive it using some special configuration method. This is working
quite well, but if we want to support both regular kernel modules and
early devices then we need to have two ways of configuring the same
driver. A single way would be better.
The early platform driver patch is basically a set of functions that allow
drivers to register themselves and architecture code to locate them and
probe. Registration happens through early_param(). The time for the
probe is decided by the architecture code.
See Documentation/driver-model/platform.txt for more details.

SUSv3 says "Regular files shall always poll TRUE for reading and
writing". see
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/poll.html
Then, mounts_poll()'s default should be "POLLIN | POLLRDNORM". it mean
always readable.
In addition, event trigger should use "POLLERR | POLLPRI" instead
POLLERR. it makes consistent to mdstat_poll() and sysfs_poll(). and,
select(2) can handle POLLPRI easily.

sysfs: don't use global workqueue in sysfs_schedule_callback()
A sysfs attribute using sysfs_schedule_callback() to commit suicide
may end up calling device_unregister(), which will eventually call
a driver's ->remove function.
Drivers may call flush_scheduled_work() in their shutdown routines,
in which case lockdep will complain with something like the following:
=============================================
[ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ]
2.6.29-rc8-kk #1
---------------------------------------------
events/4/56 is trying to acquire lock:
(events){--..}, at: [<ffffffff80257fc0>] flush_workqueue+0x0/0xa0
but task is already holding lock:
(events){--..}, at: [<ffffffff80257648>] run_workqueue+0x108/0x230
other info that might help us debug this:
3 locks held by events/4/56:
#0: (events){--..}, at: [<ffffffff80257648>] run_workqueue+0x108/0x230
#1: (&ss->work){--..}, at: [<ffffffff80257648>] run_workqueue+0x108/0x230
#2: (pci_remove_rescan_mutex){--..}, at: [<ffffffff803c10d1>] remove_callback+0x21/0x40
Although we know that the device_unregister path will never acquire
a lock that a driver might try to acquire in its ->remove, in general
we should never attempt to flush a workqueue from within the same
workqueue, and lockdep rightly complains.
So as long as sysfs attributes cannot commit suicide directly and we
are stuck with this callback mechanism, put the sysfs callbacks on
their own workqueue instead of the global one.
This has the side benefit that if a suicidal sysfs attribute kicks
off a long chain of ->remove callbacks, we no longer induce a long
delay on the global queue.
This also fixes a missing module_put in the error path introduced
by sysfs-only-allow-one-scheduled-removal-callback-per-kobj.patch.
We never destroy the workqueue, but I'm not sure that's a
problem.

Remove page level granularity track and untrack of vm_insert_pfn.
memtype tracking at page granularity does not scale and cleaner
approach would be for the driver to request a type for a bigger
IO address range or PCI io memory range for that device, either at
mmap time or driver init time and just use that type during
vm_insert_pfn.
This patch just removes the track/untrack of vm_insert_pfn. That
means we will be in same state as 2.6.28, with respect to these APIs.
Newer APIs for the drivers to request a memtype for a bigger region
is coming soon.

Tetsuo Handa reports seeing the WARN_ON(current->mm == NULL) in
security_vm_enough_memory(), when do_execve() is touching the
target mm's stack, to set up its args and environment.
Yes, a UMH_NO_WAIT or UMH_WAIT_PROC call_usermodehelper() spawns
an mm-less kernel thread to do the exec. And in any case, that
vm_enough_memory check when growing stack ought to be done on the
target mm, not on the execer's mm (though apart from the warning,
it only makes a slight tweak to OVERCOMMIT_NEVER behaviour).
Tetsuo Handa, running a kernel with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC=y and
CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER_PATH=/sbin/hotplug, has been hitting RCU detected
CPU stalls: it's been spinning in the loop where do_execve() counts up
the args (but why wasn't fixup_exception working? dunno).
The recent change, switching kobject_uevent_env() from UMH_WAIT_EXEC
to UMH_NO_WAIT, is broken: the exec uses args on the local stack here,
and an env which is kfreed as soon as call_usermodehelper() returns.
It very much needs to wait for the exec to be done.
An alternative would be to keep the UMH_NO_WAIT, and complicate the code
to allocate and free these resources correctly? but no, as GregKH
pointed out when making the commit, CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER_PATH="" is a
much better optimization - though some distros are still saying
/sbin/hotplug in their .config, yet with no such binary in their initrd
or their root.

The "Broadcast Assist Unit" is used for TLB shootdown in UV.
The memory mapped registers that point to sending and receiving

In one case the __pa() function did not provide the node id of

It turns out that 'smp_call_function_many()' doesn't work at all like
'smp_call_function_single()', and my change to Andrew's patch to use it
rather than a loop over all CPU's acpi-cpufreq doesn't work.
My bad.
'smp_call_function_many()' has two "features" (aka "documented bugs"):
(a) it needs to be called with preemption disabled, because it uses
smp_processor_id() without guarding the CPU lookup with 'get_cpu()'
and 'put_cpu()' like the 'single' variant does.
(b) even if the current CPU is part of the CPU mask, it won't do the
call on that CPU.
Still, we're better off trying to use 'smp_call_function_many()' than
looping over CPU's, since it at least in theory allows us to use a
broadcast IPI and do it all in parallel. So let's just work around the
silly semantic bugs in that function.

[ARM] SMDK6410: Request GPIOs for LCD power control
Going forward gpio_request() will be a requirement for GPIO API users so
call it for the LCD power GPIOs. With present code the kernel functions
but generaets loud WARN_ON()s when using the unrequested GPIOs.

If we have processes that are working in close proximity to each
other on disk, we don't want to idle wait. Instead allow the close
process to issue a request, getting better aggregate bandwidth.
The anticipatory scheduler has similar checks, noop and deadline do
not need it since they don't care about process <-> io mappings.
The code for CFQ is a little more involved though, since we split
request queues into per-process contexts.
This fixes a performance problem with eg dump(8), since it uses
several processes in some silly attempt to speed IO up. Even if
dump(8) isn't really a valid case (it should be fixed by using
CLONE_IO), there are other cases where we see close processes
and where idling ends up hurting performance.
Credit goes to Jeff Moyer <jmoyer@redhat.com> for writing the
initial implementation.
We only kick the dispatch for an idling queue, if we think it's a
(somewhat) fully merged request. Also allow a kick if we have other
busy queues in the system, since we don't want to risk waiting for
a potential merge in that case. It's better to get some work done and
proceed.

brd: fix cacheflushing
brd is missing a flush_dcache_page. On 2nd thoughts, perhaps it is the
pagecache's responsibility to flush user virtual aliases (the driver of
course should flush kernel virtual mappings)... but anyway, there
already exists cache flushing for one direction of transfer, so we
should add the other.

brd: support barriers
brd is always ordered (not that it matters, as it is defined not to
survive when the system goes down). So tell the block layer it is
ordered, which might be of help with testing filesystems.
