This new driver replaces the old PCEngines Alix 2/3 LED driver with a new
driver that controls the LEDs through the leds-gpio driver. The old
driver accessed GPIOs directly, which created a conflict and prevented
also loading the cs5535-gpio driver to read other GPIOs on the Alix board.
With this new driver, we hook into leds-gpio which in turn uses GPIO to
control the LEDs and therefore it's possible to control both the LEDs and
access onboard GPIOs
Driver is moved to platform/geode and any other geode initialisation
modules should move here also.
This driver is inspired by leds-net5501.c by Alessandro Zummo.
Ideally, leds-net5501.c should also be moved to platform/geode.
Additionally the driver relies on parts of the patch: 7f131cf3ed ("leds:
leds-alix2c - take port address from MSR) by Daniel Mack to perform
detection of the Alix board.

On x86_32 casting the unsigned int result of get_random_int() to long may
result in a negative value. On x86_32 the range of mmap_rnd() therefore
was -255 to 255. The 32bit mode on x86_64 used 0 to 255 as intended.
The bug was introduced by 675a081 ("x86: unify mmap_{32|64}.c") in January
2008.

This makes the iris driver use the platform API, so it is properly exposed

The parameter's origin type is long. On an i386 architecture, it can
easily be larger than 0x80000000, causing this function to convert it to a
sign-extended u64 type. Change the type to unsigned long so we get the
correct result.

On thread exit shm_exit_ns() is called, it uses shm_ids(ns).rw_mutex. It
is initialized in shm_init(), but it is not called yet at the moment of
kernel threads exit. Some kernel threads are created in
do_pre_smp_initcalls(), and shm_init() is called in do_initcalls().
Static initialization of shm_ids(init_ipc_ns).rw_mutex fixes the race.

This patch makes two changes:
- check for trailing characters after parsing PARTNROFF=%d
- disable root_wait if a syntax error is seen
The former assures that bad input like
root=PARTUUID=<validuuid>/PARTNROFF=5abc
properly fails by attempting to parse an extra character after the
integer. If the integer is missing, sscanf will fail, but if it is
present, and there is a trailing non-nul character, then the extra
field will be parsed and the error case will be hit.
The latter assures that if rootwait has been specified, the error
message isn't flooded to the screen during rootwait's loop. Instead of
adding printk ratelimiting, root_wait was disabled. This stays true to
the rootwait goal of support asynchronous device arrival while still
providing users with helpful messages. With ratelimiting or disabling
logging on rootwait, a range of edge cases turn up where the user would
not be informed of an error properly.

Expand root=PARTUUID=UUID syntax to support selecting a root partition by
integer offset from a known, unique partition. This approach provides
similar properties to specifying a device and partition number, but using
the UUID as the unique path prior to evaluating the offset.
For example,
root=PARTUUID=99DE9194-FC15-4223-9192-FC243948F88B/PARTNROFF=1
selects the partition with UUID 99DE.. then select the next
partition.
This change is motivated by a particular usecase in Chromium OS where the
bootloader can easily determine what partition it is on (by UUID) but
doesn't perform general partition table walking.
That said, support for this model provides a direct mechanism for the user
to modify the root partition to boot without specifically needing to
extract each UUID or update the bootloader explicitly when the root
partition UUID is changed (if it is recreated to be larger, for instance).
Pinning to a /boot-style partition UUID allows the arbitrary root
partition reconfiguration/modifications with slightly less ambiguity than
just [dev][partition] and less stringency than the specific root partition
UUID.

Initial EXPERIMENTAL implementation of device-mapper thin provisioning
with snapshot support. The 'thin' target is used to create instances of
the virtual devices that are hosted in the 'thin-pool' target. The
thin-pool target provides data sharing among devices. This sharing is
made possible using the persistent-data library in the previous patch.
The main highlight of this implementation, compared to the previous
implementation of snapshots, is that it allows many virtual devices to
be stored on the same data volume, simplifying administration and
allowing sharing of data between volumes (thus reducing disk usage).
Another big feature is support for arbitrary depth of recursive
snapshots (snapshots of snapshots of snapshots ...). The previous
implementation of snapshots did this by chaining together lookup tables,
and so performance was O(depth). This new implementation uses a single
data structure so we don't get this degradation with depth.
For further information and examples of how to use this, please read
