utsname: completely overwrite prior information
On sethostname() and setdomainname(), previous information may be retained
if it was longer than than the new hostname/domainname.
This can be demonstrated trivially by calling sethostname() first with a
long name, then with a short name, and then calling uname() to retrieve
the full buffer that contains the hostname (and possibly parts of the old
hostname), one just has to look past the terminating zero.
I don't know if we should really care that much (hence the RFC); the only
scenarios I can possibly think of is administrator putting something
sensitive in the hostname (or domain name) by accident, and changing it
back will not undo the mistake entirely, though it's not like we can
recover gracefully from "rm -rf /" either... The other scenario is
namespaces (CLONE_NEWUTS) where some information may be unintentionally
"inherited" from the previous namespace (a program wants to hide the
original name and does clone + sethostname, but some information is still
left).
I think the patch may be defended on grounds of the principle of least
surprise. But I am not adamant :-)
(I guess the question now is whether userspace should be able to
write embedded NULs into the buffer or not...)
At least the observation has been made and the patch has been presented.

profiling: dynamically enable readprofile at runtime
Way too often, I have a machine that exhibits some kind of crappy

I try to run readprofile. But, of course, Ubuntu doesn't enable it by

The reason we boot-time enable it is that it takes a big bufffer that we

initramfs: add option to preserve mtime from initramfs cpio images
When unpacking the cpio into the initramfs, mtimes are not preserved by
default. This patch adds an INITRAMFS_PRESERVE_MTIME option that allows
mtimes stored in the cpio image to be used when constructing the
initramfs.
For embedded applications that run exclusively out of the initramfs, this
is invaluable:
When building embedded application initramfs images, its nice to know when
the files were actually created during the build process - that makes it
easier to see what files were modified when so we can compare the files
that are being used on the image with the files used during the build
process. This might help (for example) to determine if the target system
has all the updated files you expect to see w/o having to check MD5s etc.
In our environment, the whole system runs off the initramfs partition, and
seeing the modified times of the shared libraries (for example) helps us
find bugs that may have been introduced by the build system incorrectly
propogating outdated shared libraries into the image.
Similarly, many of the initializion/configuration files in /etc might be
dynamically built by the build system, and knowing when they were modified
helps us sanity check whether the target system has the "latest" files
etc.
Finally, we might use last modified times to determine whether a hot fix
should be applied or not to the running ramfs.

wait: kill is_sync_wait()
is_sync_wait() is used to distinguish between sync and async waits.
Basically sync waits are the ones initialized with init_waitqueue_entry()
and async ones with init_waitqueue_func_entry(). The sync/async
distinction is used only in prepare_to_wait[_exclusive]() and its only
function is to skip setting the current task state if the wait is async.
This has a few problems.
* No one uses it. None of func_entry users use prepare_to_wait()
functions, so the code path never gets executed.
* The distinction is bogus. Maybe back when func_entry is used only
by aio but it's now also used by epoll and in future possibly by 9p
and poll/select.
* Taking @state as argument and ignoring it silenly depending on how
@wait is initialized is just a bad error-prone API.
* It prevents func_entry waits from using wait->private for no good
reason.
This patch kills is_sync_wait() and the associated code paths from
prepare_to_wait[_exclusive](). As there was no user of these code paths,
this patch doesn't cause any behavior difference.

pm: rework disabling of user mode helpers during suspend/hibernation
We currently use a PM notifier to disable user mode helpers before suspend
and hibernation and to re-enable them during resume. However, this is not
an ideal solution, because if any drivers want to upload firmware into
memory before suspend, they have to use a PM notifier for this purpose and
there is no guarantee that the ordering of PM notifiers will be as
expected (ie. the notifier that disables user mode helpers has to be run
after the driver's notifier used for uploading the firmware).
For this reason, it seems better to move the disabling and enabling of
user mode helpers to separate functions that will be called by the PM core
as necessary.

hugetlb: handle updating of ACCESSED and DIRTY in hugetlb_fault()
The page fault path for normal pages, if the fault is neither a no-page
fault nor a write-protect fault, will update the DIRTY and ACCESSED bits

The hugepage fault path, however, does not do this, handling only no-page
or write-protect type faults. It assumes that either the ACCESSED and
DIRTY bits are irrelevant for hugepages (usually true, since they are
never swapped) or that they are handled by the arch code.
This is inconvenient for some software-loaded TLB architectures, where the
_PAGE_ACCESSED (_PAGE_DIRTY) bits need to be set to enable read (write)
access to the page at the TLB miss. This could be worked around in the
arch TLB miss code, but the TLB miss fast path can be made simple more
easily if the hugetlb_fault() path handles this, as the normal page fault
path does.

rtc-cmos: look for PNP RTC first, then for platform RTC

All it tells us is whether we found any PNPBIOS or PNPACPI devices.
Many machines have some PNP devices, but do not describe the RTC

to find the RTC.
We should just register the PNP driver and see whether it claims anything.
If we don't find a PNP RTC, fall back to the platform driver probe.

powerpc: Fix link errors on 32-bit machines using legacy DMA
The new merged DMA code will try to access isa_bridge_pcidev when
trying to DMA to/from legacy devices. This is however only defined
on 64-bit. Fixes this for now by adding the variable, even if it
stays NULL. In the long run, we'll make isa-bridge.c common to
32 and 64-bit.

powerpc/pci: Improve detection of unassigned bridge resources
When the powerpc PCI layer is not configured to re-assign everything,
it currently fails to detect that a PCI to PCI bridge has been left
unassigned by the firmware and tries to allocate resource for the
default window values in the bridge (0...X) (with the notable exception
of a hack we have in there that detects some Apple firmware unassigned
bridge resources).
This results in resource allocation failures, which are generally
fixed up later on but it causes scary warnings in the logs and we
have seen the fixup code fall over in some circumstances (a different
issue to fix as well).
This code improves that by providing a more complete & useful function
to intuit that a bridge was left unassigned by the firmware, and thus
force a full re-allocation by the PCI code without trying to allocate
the existing useless resources first.
The algorithm we use basically considers unassigned a window that
starts at 0 (PCI address) if the corresponding address space enable
bit is not set. In addition, for memory space, it considers such a
resource unassigned also if the host bridge isn't configured to
forward cycles to address 0 (ie, the resource basically overlaps
main memory).
This fixes a range of problems with things like Bare-Metal support
on pSeries machines, or attempt to use partial firmware PCI setup.

hvc_console: rework setup to replace irq functions with callbacks
introduced a spinlock recursion problem. The notifier_del is
called with a lock held, and in turns calls free_irq which then
complains when manipulating procfs. This fixes it by moving the
call to the notifier to outside of the locked section.

HID: build drivers for all quirky devices by default
Once kernel configuration has CONFIG_HID turned on, let also all the
specialized drivers for quirky devices to be built (unless CONFIG_EMBEDDED is
specified), as usually users don't care that much which driver
gives them the functionality, but when they want generic support, they
probably want to have support for all the quirky devices as well.
USB should not be having it's own printk macros, so remove warn() and
use the system-wide standard of dev_warn() wherever possible. In the
few places that will not work out, use a basic printk().

HID: fix a lockup regression when using force feedback on a PID device
Commit 8006479c9b75fb6594a7b746af3d7f1fbb68f18f introduced a spinlock in
input_dev->event_lock, which is locked when handling input events.
However, the hid-pidff driver sleeps when handling events as it waits for
reports being sent to the device before changing the report contents
again.
This causes a system lockup when trying to use force feedback with a PID
device, a regression introduced in 2.6.24 and 2.6.23.15.
Fix it by extracting the raw report data from struct hid_report
immediately when hid_submit_report() is called, therefore allowing
drivers to change the contents of struct hid_report immediately without
affecting the already-queued transfer.
In hid-pidff, re-add the removed usbhid_wait_io() to
pidff_erase_effect() instead, to prevent a full report queue from causing
the submission to fail, thus not freeing up device memory.
pidff_erase_effect() is not called while dev->event_lock is held.
hid_compat_load() runs on the default workqueue, it request_module(), it
execs modprobe, it exits, tty flushes default workqueue, it hangs, because
we are still in it.

This patch fixes a problem that MacBook JIS keyboard sends wrong report

it still remains in other models of MacBook.
HID: Autocentering support for Logitech MOMO Racing Wheel
Current kernel has no support for autocentering for Logitech wheels. By
default autocentering enabled in wheel and constant effect does not work
properly. Using USB sniffer I found command which change autocentering
settings: 0xFE, 0x0D, 0x0R, 0x0L, 0x80, 0x00, 0x00, where R - clockwise force,
L - counter-clockwise (0x0-0xF, 0xC = 100%).

HID: remove ignore quirk for MGE UPS devices
This patch reverts the change made four years ago here:
http://www.vg.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/gregkh/usb/2.4/usb-hid-2.4.25-pre7.patch
UPS's made by MGE can be used with usbhid just fine, and by removing the
ignore quirk allows them to be used with HAL so they just work when plugged
in, without needing to be manually configured.
With the ignore quirk in place a user would have to configure NUT before the
UPS could be used, as NUT uses it's own internal USB matching framework
to match against the USB devices, do low level control messages on the
device and then parse the HID tables all in userspace.
This is not needed, as allowing the device to be claimed as a usbhid device
allows it to be used like any other USB UPS device. The devices correctly
advertise the power device page which can be queried for the device state.
I assume the quirk was changed so that people using < libusb 0.1.8 could
still use NUT's internal HID code to manage the UPS.
libusb 0.1.8 was released quite some time ago: 2004-02-11.
This patch does not break NUT as in drivers/libusb.c the device is force
unbound from the kernel driver using usb_detach_kernel_driver_np () where
it can be controlled like normal.
