95da310e66 usb_serial: API all change
USB serial likes to use port->tty back pointers for the real work it does and
to do so without any actual locking. Unfortunately when you consider hangup
events, hangup/parallel reopen or even worse hangup followed by parallel close
events the tty->port and port->tty pointers are not guaranteed to be the same
as port->tty is the active tty while tty->port is the port the tty may or
may not still be attached to.

So rework the entire API to pass the tty struct. For console cases we need
to pass both for now. This shows up multiple drivers that immediately crash
with USB console some of which have been fixed in the process.

Longer term we need a proper tty as console abstraction

d35cb360c2 markers: fix duplicate modpost entry
When a kernel was rebuilt, the previous Module.markers was not cleared.
It caused markers with different format strings to appear as duplicates
when a markers was changed.  This problem is present since
scripts/mod/modpost.c started to generate Module.markers, commit
b2e3e658b3

It therefore applies to 2.6.25, 2.6.26 and linux-next.

I merely merged the patches from Roland, Wenji and Takashi here.

    make clean.

Two small updates to the pcf857x driver: (a) the max732[89] chips are
also second sources for the pcf8574/a, and (b) add a mutex to prevent

6519108746 execve filename: document and export via auxiliary vector
The Linux kernel puts the filename argument of execve() into the new
address space.  Many developers are surprised to learn this.  Those who
know and could use it, object "But it's not documented."

Those who want to use it dislike the expression
  (char *)(1+ strlen(env[-1+ n_env]) + env[-1+ n_env])
because it requires locating the last original environment variable,
and assumes that the filename follows the characters.

This patch documents the insertion of the filename, and makes it easier
to find by adding a new tag AT_EXECFN in the ElfXX_auxv_t; see <elf.h>.

In many cases readlink("/proc/self/exe",) gives the same answer.  But if
all the original pages get unmapped, then the kernel erases the symlink
for /proc/self/exe.  This can happen when a program decompressor does a
good job of cleaning up after uncompressing directly to memory, so that
the address space of the target program looks the same as if compression
had never happened.  One example is http://upx.sourceforge.net .

One notable use of the underlying concept (what path containED the
executable) is glibc expanding $ORIGIN in DT_RUNPATH.  In practice for
the near term, it may be a good idea for user-mode code to use both
/proc/self/exe and AT_EXECFN as fall-back methods for each other.
/proc/self/exe can fail due to unmapping, AT_EXECFN can fail because it
won't be present on non-new systems.  The auxvec or {AT_EXECFN}.d_val
also can get overwritten, although in nearly all cases this would be the
result of a bug.

The runtime cost is one NEW_AUX_ENT using two words of stack space.  The
underlying value is maintained already as bprm->exec; setup_arg_pages()
in fs/exec.c slides it for stack_shift, etc.

to the device (/dev/hpilo/dXccbN), and use this to send/receive queries.  
The O_EXCL open flag is used to indicate that a particular channel cannot
be shared between processes.  This driver will replace various packages
HP has shipped, including hprsm and hp-ilo.

4a0b2b4dbe sysdev: Pass the attribute to the low level sysdev show/store function
This allow to dynamically generate attributes and share show/store
functions between attributes. Right now most attributes are generated
by special macros and lots of duplicated code. With the attribute
passed it's instead possible to attach some data to the attribute
and then use that in shared low level functions to do different things.

I need this for the dynamically generated bank attributes in the x86
machine check code, but it'll allow some further cleanups.

I converted all users in tree to the new show/store prototype. It's a single
huge patch to avoid unbisectable sections.

83c79b55f0 sysfs-rules.txt: reword API stability statement
The first paragraph of this document implies that user space developers
shouldn't use sysfs at all, but then it goes on to describe rules that
developers should follow when accessing sysfs.  Not only is this somewhat
self-contradictory, it has been shown to discourage developers from using
established sysfs interfaces.

A note of caution is more appropriate than a blanket "sysfs will never

d9b19199e4 always enable FW_LOADER unless EMBEDDED=y
James Bottomley recently discovered that we have
{request,release}_firmware() dummies for the case of the actual
functions not being available and has a fix for the bug that was
actually causing build errors for built-in users with
CONFIG_FW_LOADER=m.

But now missing selects on FW_LOADER are no longer visible at
compile-time at all and can become runtime problems.

FW_LOADER is infrastructure with relatively small codesize we can safely
enable for everyone, and only for people who really need small kernels
(and can be expected to know what they are doing) it matters being able
to disable it.

This patch therefore always sets FW_LOADER=y and allows users only to
disable it with EMBEDDED=y.

As a bonus, we can then get rid of all "select FW_LOADER" plus the due
to it required "depends on HOTPLUG" which removes some complexity from
our Kconfig files.

17149d9fff uio-howto.tmpl: use standard copyright/legal markings
The Userspace I/O HOWTO document uses straight <sect1> tags and plain text
to describe copyright/legal information.  It should instead use the
<copyright> and <legalnotice> tags like all other documents in the kernel.

93265d13ea sysfs: don't call notify_change
sysfs_chmod_file() calls notify_change() to change the permission bits
on a sysfs file.  Replace with explicit call to sysfs_setattr() and
fsnotify_change().

This is equivalent, except that security_inode_setattr() is not
called.  This function is called by drivers, so the security checks do
not make any sense.

838ea8e8db sysdev: fix debugging statements in registration code.
The systdev_class_register() and sysdev_register() functions have
pr_debug() statements which are enabled when the user selects the
driver core debug. Both of these routines do not produce the
correct output, as they make assumptions about data which has not
been initialised.

In sysdev_class_register() the code uses the kobject_name(&cls->kset.kobj)
at the start of the function, but this is not setup until later in the
same call. Change this to use cls->name which is passed in from the caller.

The sysdev_register() function tries to get the name of the sysdev by
kobject_name(&sysdev->kobj), but that isn't setup until later in the same
function so change this message to use the name of the sysdev's class and
add another message once the name is initialised.

185000fc55 kobject: should use kobject_put() in kset-example
We should call kobject_put() instead of kfree() if kobject_init_and_add()
returns an error, shouldn't we? Don't set up a bad example ;)
