1c5df7e705 usbcore: suspending devices with no driver
Since usb_generic can be unbound from a USB device, we need to be able
to handle the possibility that a suspend or resume request arrives for a
device with no driver.  This patch (as735) arranges things so that
resume requests will fail and suspend requests will use the standard USB
port-suspend code.  Attempts to suspend or resume an unbound interface
are handled similarly (although the error caused by trying to resume an
unbound interface is dropped by the calling routine).

114b368c07 usbcore: fix up device and power state tests
This patch (as734) rationalizes the various tests of device state and
power states.  There are duplications and mistaken tests in several
places.

Perhaps the most interesting challenge is where the hub driver tests to
see that all the child devices are suspended before allowing itself to
be suspended.  When CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND is set the test is
straightforward, since we expect that the children _will_ be suspended.
But when CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND isn't set, it's not so clear what should be
done.  The code compromises by checking the child's
power.power_state.event field.

2bf4086d7a usbcore: set device and power states properly
This patch (as733) fixes up the places where device states and power
states are set in usbcore.  Right now things are duplicated or missing;
this should straighten things out.

The idea is that udev->state is USB_STATE_SUSPENDED exactly when the
device's upstream port has been suspended, whereas
udev->dev.power.power_state.event reflects the result of the last call
to the suspend/resume routines (which might not actually change the
device state, especially if CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND isn't set).

4d064c0802 usbcore: track whether interfaces are suspended
Currently we rely on intf->dev.power.power_state.event for tracking
whether intf is suspended.  This is not a reliable technique because
that value is owned by the PM core, not by usbcore.  This patch (as718b)
adds a new flag so that we can accurately tell which interfaces are
suspended and which aren't.

At first one might think these flags aren't needed, since interfaces
will be suspended along with their devices.  It turns out there are a
couple of intermediate situations where that's not quite true, such as
while processing a remote-wakeup request.

a8e7c56535 usbcore: resume device resume recursion
This patch (as717b) removes the existing recursion in hub resume code:
Resuming a hub will no longer automatically resume the devices attached
to the hub.

At the same time, it adds one level of recursion: Suspending a USB
device will automatically suspend all the device's interfaces.  Failure
at an intermediate stage will cause all the already-suspended interfaces
to be resumed. Attempts to suspend or resume an interface by itself will
do nothing, although they won't return an error.  Thus the regular
system-suspend and system-resume procedures should continue to work as
before; only runtime PM will be affected.

The patch also removes the code that tests state of the interfaces
before suspending a device.  It's no longer needed, since everything
gets suspended together.

782da727b0 usbcore: make usb_generic a usb_device_driver
This patch (as714b) makes usb_generic into a usb_device_driver capable
of being probed and unbound, just like other drivers.  A fair amount of
the work that used to get done during discovery or removal of a USB
device have been moved to the probe and disconnect methods of
usb_generic: creating the sysfs attributes and selecting an initial
configuration.  However the normal behavior should continue to be the
same as before.

We will now have the possibility of creating other USB device drivers,
They will assist with exporting devices to remote systems
(USB-over-TCPIP) or to paravirtual guest operating systems.

8bb54ab573 usbcore: add usb_device_driver definition
This patch (as732) adds a usb_device_driver structure, for representing
drivers that manage an entire USB device as opposed to just an
interface.  Support routines like usb_register_device_driver,
usb_deregister_device_driver, usb_probe_device, and usb_unbind_device
are also added.

Unlike an earlier version of this patch, the new code is type-safe.  To
accomplish this, the existing struct driver embedded in struct
usb_driver had to be wrapped in an intermediate wrapper.  This enables
the core to tell at runtime whether a particular struct driver belongs
to a device driver or to an interface driver.

36e56a3458 usbcore: move code among source files
This revised patch (as713b) moves a few routines among source files in
usbcore.  Some driver-related code in usb.c (claiming interfaces and
matching IDs) is moved to driver.c, where it belongs.  Also the
usb_generic stuff in driver.c is moved to a new source file: generic.c.
(That's the reason for revising the patch.)  Although not very big now,
it will get bigger in a later patch.

None of the code has been changed; it has only been re-arranged.

121e287cb5 usb-skeleton: don't submit URBs after disconnection
This patch (as712b) is a slight revision of one submitted earlier.  It
fixes the usb-skeleton example driver so that it won't try to submit
URBs after skel_disconnect() has returned.  This could cause errors, if
the driver was unbound and then a different driver was bound to the
device.  It also fixes a couple of small bugs in the skel_write()
routine.

The revised patch uses a slightly different test, suggested by Dave
Brownell, for determining whether to free a transfer buffer.  It's a
little clearer than the earlier version.

4a2a8a2cce usbfs: private mutex for open, release, and remove
The usbfs code doesn't provide sufficient mutual exclusion among open,
release, and remove.  Release vs. remove is okay because they both
acquire the device lock, but open is not exclusive with either one.  All
three routines modify the udev->filelist linked list, so they must not
run concurrently.

Apparently someone gave this a minimum amount of thought in the past by
explicitly acquiring the BKL at the start of the usbdev_open routine.
Oddly enough, there's a comment pointing out that locking is unnecessary
because chrdev_open already has acquired the BKL.

But this ignores the point that the files in /proc/bus/usb/* are not
char device files; they are regular files and so they don't get any
special locking.  Furthermore it's necessary to acquire the same lock in
the release and remove routines, which the code does not do.

Yet another problem arises because the same file_operations structure is
accessible through both the /proc/bus/usb/* and /dev/usb/usbdev* file
nodes.  Even when one of them has been removed, it's still possible for
userspace to open the other.  So simple locking around the individual
remove routines is insufficient; we need to lock the entire
usb_notify_remove_device notifier chain.

Rather than rely on the BKL, this patch (as723) introduces a new private
mutex for the purpose.  Holding the BKL while invoking a notifier chain
doesn't seem like a good idea.

b2bbb20b37 USB: pxa2xx_udc understands GPIO based VBUS sensing
This updates the PXA 25x UDC board-independent infrastructure for VBUS sensing
and the D+ pullup.  The original code evolved from rather bizarre support on
Intel's "Lubbock" reference hardware, so that on more sensible hardware it
doesn't work as well as it could/should.

The change is just to teach the UDC driver how to use built-in PXA GPIO pins
directly.  This reduces the amount of board-specfic object code needed, and
enables the use of a VBUS sensing IRQ on boards (like Gumstix) that have one.
With VBUS sensing, the UDC is unclocked until a host is actually connected.

b2a8e097d0 USB: ohci-s3c2410.c: clock now usb-bus-host
With the newer Samsung S3C2412 and S3C2413 SoC devices,
the 48MHz USB clock has been given an individual gate
into the USB OHCI and gadget blocks.

This clock is called usb-bus-clock, and we need to
replace the old use of the USB PLL (upll) directly
with the new usb-bus-host.

The S3C2410 clock driver has been updated already to
provide a virtual clock which is a child of the UPLL
to maintain compatibility. The S3C2412 clock driver
correctly enables the PLL when either usb-bus clock
is active.

d413984ae9 USB: OHCI avoids root hub timer polling
This teaches OHCI to use the root hub status change (RHSC) IRQ, bypassing
root hub timers most of the time and switching over to the "new" root hub
polling scheme.  It's complicated by the fact that implementations of OHCI
trigger and ack that IRQ differently (the spec is vague there).

Avoiding root hub timers helps mechanisms like "dynamic tick" leave the
CPU in lowpower modes for longer intervals.

65800ac77e [PATCH] pid: remove temporary debug code in attach_pid
With the patches flying between Oleg and myself somehow this temporary
debug code got left in pid.c.  It was never intended to make it to the
stable kernel.

c18258c6f0 [PATCH] pid: Implement transfer_pid and use it to simplify de_thread
In de_thread we move pids from one process to another, a rather ugly case.
The function transfer_pid makes it clear what we are doing, and makes the
action atomic.  This is useful we ever want to atomically traverse the
process group and session lists, in a rcu safe manner.

Even if the atomic properties this change should be a win as transfer_pid
should be less code to execute than executing both attach_pid and
detach_pid, and this should make de_thread slightly smaller as only a
single function call needs to be emitted.  The only downside is that the
code might be slower to execute as the odds are against transfer_pid being
in cache.

b89a81712f [PATCH] sysctl: Allow /proc/sys without sys_sysctl
Since sys_sysctl is deprecated start allow it to be compiled out.  This
should catch any remaining user space code that cares, and paves the way
for further sysctl cleanups.

7583ddfd3a [PATCH] Include __param section in read-only data range
The param section is an array of "kernel_param" structures, storing only
constant data: pointer to name, permission of the variable pointed to by
(void *)arg and pointers to set/get methods.

Move end_rodata down to include __param section in the read-only range used
by CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA.

07563c711f [PATCH] EISA bus MODALIAS attributes support
Add modalias attribute support for the almost forgotten now EISA bus and
(at least some) EISA-aware modules.

The modalias entry looks like (for an 3c509 NIC):

 eisa:sTCM5093

and the in-module alias like:

 eisa:sTCM5093*

The patch moves struct eisa_device_id declaration from include/linux/eisa.h
to include/linux/mod_devicetable.h (so that the former now #includes the
latter), adds proper MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(eisa, ...) statements for all
drivers with EISA IDs I found (some drivers already have that DEVICE_TABLE
declared), and adds recognision of __mod_eisa_device_table to
scripts/mod/file2alias.c so that proper modules.alias will be generated.

There's no support for /lib/modules/$kver/modules.eisamap, as it's not used
by any existing tools, and because with in-kernel modalias mechanism those
maps are obsolete anyway.

The rationale for this patch is:

 a) to make EISA bus to act as other busses with modalias
    support, to unify driver loading

 b) to foget about EISA finally - with this patch, kernel
    (who still supports EISA) will be the only one who knows
    how to choose the necessary drivers for this bus ;)
