0458d5b4c9 USB: add USB-Persist facility
This patch (as886) adds the controversial USB-persist facility,
allowing USB devices to persist across a power loss during system
suspend.

The facility is controlled by a new Kconfig option (with appropriate
warnings about the potential dangers); when the option is off the
behavior will remain the same as it is now.  But when the option is
on, people will be able to use suspend-to-disk and keep their USB
filesystems intact -- something particularly valuable for small
machines where the root filesystem is on a USB device!

7edcb9abb5 i2c-i801: Use the internal 32-byte buffer on ICH4+
Add an ability to utilize the internal SRAM buffer on ICH4
and newer host controllers to speed up execution of block operations.

I've split the code so that it is more clear which block transaction is
performed.

First of all the host controller's type is identified. isich4 is set when
we think that the controller has the internal buffer. Then, before every
block transaction, if isich4 is set, we attempt to enable the E32B bit in
SMBAUXCTL register.

4b2643d7d9 i2c: Fix the i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data() prototype
Let the drivers specify how many bytes they want to read with
i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data(). So far, the block count was
hard-coded to I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX (32), which did not make much sense.
Many driver authors complained about this before, and I believe it's
about time to fix it. Right now, authors have to do technically stupid
things, such as individual byte reads or full-fledged I2C messaging,
to work around the problem. We do not want to encourage that.

I even found that some bus drivers (e.g. i2c-amd8111) already
implemented I2C block read the "right" way, that is, they didn't
follow the old, broken standard. The fact that it was never noticed
before just shows how little i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data() was used,
which isn't that surprising given how broken its prototype was so far.

There are some obvious compatiblity considerations:
* This changes the i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data() prototype. Users
  outside the kernel tree will notice at compilation time, and will
  have to update their code.
* User-space has access to i2c_smbus_xfer() directly using i2c-dev, so
  the changed expectations would affect tools such as i2cdump. In order
  to preserve binary compatibility, we give I2C_SMBUS_I2C_BLOCK_DATA
  a new numeric value, and define I2C_SMBUS_I2C_BLOCK_BROKEN with the
  old numeric value. When i2c-dev receives a transaction with the
  old value, it can convert it to the new format on the fly.

ba7fbb723f i2c: Deprecate legacy RTC drivers
We have a new RTC subsystem with better drivers.

Legacy driver status:
* ds1337: The DS1337 and DS1339 are now supported by the rtc-ds1307
  driver, so it looks to me like we could even delete the ds1337
  driver right away.
* ds1374: Will soon be replaced with Scott Wood's rtc-ds1374 driver.
* m41t00: The M41T00 is supported by the rtc-ds1307 driver. For the
  M41T81 and M41T85, the rtc-m41t80 driver written by Atsushi Nemoto
  should work.

ed03218951 security: Protection for exploiting null dereference using mmap
Add a new security check on mmap operations to see if the user is attempting
to mmap to low area of the address space.  The amount of space protected is
indicated by the new proc tunable /proc/sys/vm/mmap_min_addr and defaults to
0, preserving existing behavior.

This patch uses a new SELinux security class "memprotect."  Policy already
contains a number of allow rules like a_t self:process * (unconfined_t being
one of them) which mean that putting this check in the process class (its
best current fit) would make it useless as all user processes, which we also
want to protect against, would be allowed. By taking the memprotect name of
the new class it will also make it possible for us to move some of the other
memory protect permissions out of 'process' and into the new class next time
we bump the policy version number (which I also think is a good future idea)

91a6902958 sysfs: add parameter "struct bin_attribute *" in .read/.write methods for sysfs binary attributes
Well, first of all, I don't want to change so many files either.

What I do:
Adding a new parameter "struct bin_attribute *" in the
.read/.write methods for the sysfs binary attributes.

In fact, only the four lines change in fs/sysfs/bin.c and
include/linux/sysfs.h do the real work.
But I have to update all the files that use binary attributes
to make them compatible with the new .read and .write methods.
I'm not sure if I missed any. :(

Why I do this:
For a sysfs attribute, we can get a pointer pointing to the
struct attribute in the .show/.store method,
while we can't do this for the binary attributes.
I don't know why this is different, but this does make it not
so handy to use the binary attributes as the regular ones.
So I think this patch is reasonable. :)

Who benefits from it:
The patch that exposes ACPI tables in sysfs
requires such an improvement.
All the table binary attributes share the same .read method.
Parameter "struct bin_attribute *" is used to get
the table signature and instance number which are used to
distinguish different ACPI table binary attributes.

Without this parameter, we need to offer different .read methods
for different ACPI table binary attributes.
This is impossible as there are various ACPI tables on different
platforms, and we don't know what they are until they are loaded.

012b7105cc [IA64] prevent MCA when performing MMIO mmap to PCI config space
Example memory map (HP rx7640 with 'default' acpiconfig setting, VGA disabled):
   0x00000000 - 0x3FFFBFFF  supports only WB (cacheable) access

If a user attempts to perform an MMIO mmap (using the PCIIOC_MMAP_IS_MEM ioctl)
to PCI config space (like mmap'ing and accessing memory at 0xA0000),
we will MCA because the kernel will attempt to use a mapping with the UC
attribute.

So check the memory attribute in kern_mmap and the EFI memmap. If WC is
requested, and WC or UC access is supported for the region, allow it.
Otherwise, use the same attribute the kernel uses.

Updates documentation and test cases as well.

631d1febab configfs: config item dependancies.
Sometimes other drivers depend on particular configfs items.  For
example, ocfs2 mounts depend on a heartbeat region item.  If that
region item is removed with rmdir(2), the ocfs2 mount must BUG or go
readonly.  Not happy.

This provides two additional API calls: configfs_depend_item() and
configfs_undepend_item().  A client driver can call
configfs_depend_item() on an existing item to tell configfs that it is
depended on.  configfs will then return -EBUSY from rmdir(2) for that
item.  When the item is no longer depended on, the client driver calls
configfs_undepend_item() on it.

These API cannot be called underneath any configfs callbacks, as
they will conflict.  They can block and allocate.  A client driver
probably shouldn't calling them of its own gumption.  Rather it should
be providing an API that external subsystems call.

How does this work?  Imagine the ocfs2 mount process.  When it mounts,
it asks for a heart region item.  This is done via a call into the
heartbeat code.  Inside the heartbeat code, the region item is looked
up.  Here, the heartbeat code calls configfs_depend_item().  If it
succeeds, then heartbeat knows the region is safe to give to ocfs2.
If it fails, it was being torn down anyway, and heartbeat can gracefully
pass up an error.

299894cc90 configfs: accessing item hierarchy during rmdir(2)
Add a notification callback, ops->disconnect_notify(). It has the same
prototype as ->drop_item(), but it will be called just before the item
linkage is broken. This way, configfs users who want to do work while
the object is still in the heirarchy have a chance.

Client drivers will still need to config_item_put() in their
->drop_item(), if they implement it.  They need do nothing in
->disconnect_notify().  They don't have to provide it if they don't
care.  But someone who wants to be notified before ci_parent is set to
NULL can now be notified.

53c96b4174 ieee1394: remove old isochronous ABI
Based on patch "the scheduled removal of RAW1394_REQ_ISO_{SEND,LISTEN}"
from Adrian Bunk, November 20 2006.

This patch also removes the underlying facilities in ohci1394 and
disables them in pcilynx.  That is, hpsb_host_driver.devctl() and
hpsb_host_driver.transmit_packet() are no longer used for iso reception
and transmission.

Since video1394 and dv1394 only work with ohci1394 and raw1394's rawiso
interface has never been implemented in pcilynx, pcilynx is now no
longer useful for isochronous applications.

raw1394 will still handle the request types but will complete the
requests with errors that indicate API version conflicts.

0437e109e1 sched: zap the migration init / cache-hot balancing code
the SMP load-balancer uses the boot-time migration-cost estimation
code to attempt to improve the quality of balancing. The reason for
this code is that the discrete priority queues do not preserve
the order of scheduling accurately, so the load-balancer skips
tasks that were running on a CPU 'recently'.

this code is fundamental fragile: the boot-time migration cost detector
doesnt really work on systems that had large L3 caches, it caused boot
delays on large systems and the whole cache-hot concept made the
balancing code pretty undeterministic as well.

(and hey, i wrote most of it, so i can say it out loud that it sucks ;-)

under CFS the same purpose of cache affinity can be achieved without
any special cache-hot special-case: tasks are sorted in the 'timeline'
tree and the SMP balancer picks tasks from the left side of the
tree, thus the most cache-cold task is balanced automatically.

eff2ebd207 [POWERPC] In booting-without-of.txt, clarify that properties must precede subnodes
A strict reading of the flattened device tree format defined in
booting-without-of.txt does in fact require that all the tags defining
properties for a node go before any definitions of subnodes, however
it's not particularly emphasised.  Although allowing intermingled
properties and subnodes would not be ambiguous in meaning, the kernel
parser does currently require that properties precede subnodes.
Furthermore, keeping this constraint makes life easier for various
device tree scanning tools.

Therefore, re-emphasise in booting-without-of.txt that this is a
strict requirement of the flattened device tree format.

This makes unmap_vm_area static and a wrapper around a new
exported unmap_kernel_range that takes an explicit range instead
of a vm_area struct.

This makes it more versatile for code that wants to play with kernel

(One example is some rework of the PowerPC PCI IO space mapping
code that depends on that patch and removes some code duplication
and horrible abuse of forged struct vm_struct).

c1a834dc70 timer stats: speedups
Make timer-stats have almost zero overhead when enabled in the config but
not used.  (this way distros can enable it more easily)

Also update the documentation about overhead of timer_stats - it was
written for the first version which had a global lock and a linear list
walk based lookup ;-)

0a920b5b66 add a trivial patch style checker
We are seeing increasing levels of minor patch style violations in submissions
to the mailing lists as well as making it into the tree.  These detract from
the quality of the submission and cause unnessary work for reviewers.

As a first step package up the current state of the patch style checker and
include it in the kernel tree.  Add instructions suggesting running it on
submissions.  This adds version v0.01 of the checkpatch.pl script.

cc4c24e115 ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: do not use named sysfs groups
The initial version of the thinkpad-acpi sysfs interface (not yet released
in any stable mainline kernel) made liberal use of named sysfs groups, in
order to get the attributes more organized.

This proved to be a really bad design decision.  Maybe if attribute groups
were as flexible as a real directory, and if binary attributes were not
second-class citizens, the idea of subdirs and named groups would not have
been so bad.

This patch makes all the thinkpad-acpi sysfs groups anonymous (thus
removing the subdirs), adds the former group names as a prefix (so that
hotkey/enable becomes hotkey_enable for example), and updates the
documentation.

These changes will make the thinkpad-acpi sysfs ABI a lot easier to
maintain.

ae00d81243 ACPI: extend "acpi_osi=" boot option
The boot option "acpi_osi=" has always disabled Linux _OSI support,
thus disabling all OS Interface strings which are advertised
by Linux to the BIOS.

Now...
acpi_osi="string" adds the interface string, and
acpi_osi="!string" invalidates the pre-defined interface string

eg. acpi_osi="!Windows 2006"
would disable Linux's claim of Vista compatibility.

deadlocks waiting for the write to complete, which is waiting for the
sysfs teardown to complete. Moved this effort to a work_q element.

Took the opportunity to make some other cosmetic changes:
 - removed tabs in Doc file - replaced with expanded spaces
 - minor copyright text and author text updates
 - removed a bunch of trailing whitespace
