[PATCH] backlight: do not power off backlight when unregistering
ACPI drivers like ibm-acpi are moving to the backlight sysfs
infrastructure. During ibm-acpi testing, I have noticed that
backlight_device_unregister() sets the display brightness and power to
zero.
This causes the display to be dimmed on ibm-acpi module removal. It will
affect all other ACPI drivers that are being converted to use the backlight
class, as well. It also affects a number of framebuffer devices that are
used on desktops and laptops which might also not want such behaviour.
Since working around this behaviour requires undesireable hacks, Richard
Purdie decided that we would be better off reverting the changes in the
sysfs class, and adding the code to dim and power off the backlight device
to the drivers that want it. This patch is my attempt to do so.
Patch against latest linux-2.6.git. Changes untested, as I lack the
required hardware. Still, they are trivial enough that, apart from typos,
there is little chance of getting them wrong.

[PATCH] softcursor.c: avoid unaligned accesses
Fix some possible unaligned accesses when accessing fields of 'image'
pointer. Indeed this pointer was obtained by allocating a block of memory
that embeds a temporary array plus an image structure. The temporary
buffer was located at the start of the allocated block and depending on its
size, the image structure which comes right after can be unaligned.
For example when using mini fonts (4x6) (cursor's width is 4 and its height
is 6) the temporary buf size is 6 bytes.
Therefore this patch moves the image structure to the start of the block
and moves the temporary buffer right after. It makes 'image' pointer
always aligned and since the tempo buf is a buffer of char, it's always
correctly aligned as well.
It also fixes the file header alignement.

The binary interface to the namespace sysctls was never implemented resulting
in some really weird things if you attempted to use sys_sysctl to read your
hostname for example.
This patch series simples the code a little and implements the binary sysctl
interface.
In testing this patch series I discovered that our 32bit compatibility for the
binary sysctl interface is imperfect. In particular KERN_SHMMAX and
KERN_SMMALL are size_t sized quantities and are returned as 8 bytes on to
32bit binaries using a x86_64 kernel. However this has existing for a long
time so it is not a new regression with the namespace work.
Gads the whole sysctl thing needs work before it stops being easy to shoot
yourself in the foot.
Looking forward a little bit we need a better way to handle sysctls and
namespaces as our current technique will not work for the network namespace.
I think something based on the current overlapping sysctl trees will work but
the proc side needs to be redone before we can use it.
This patch:
Introduce get_uts() and put_uts() (used later) and remove most of the special
cases for when UTS namespace is compiled in.

[PATCH] fault injection: stacktrace filtering
This patch provides stacktrace filtering feature.
The stacktrace filter allows failing only for the caller you are
interested in.
For example someone may want to inject kmalloc() failures into
only e100 module. they want to inject not only direct kmalloc() call,
but also indirect allocation, too.
This patch enables to detect function calls like this by stacktrace
and inject failures. The script Documentaion/fault-injection/failmodule.sh
helps it.
The range of text section of loaded e100 is expected to be
[/sys/module/e100/sections/.text, /sys/module/e100/sections/.exit.text)
So failmodule.sh stores these values into /debug/failslab/address-start
and /debug/failslab/address-end. The maximum stacktrace depth is specified
by /debug/failslab/stacktrace-depth.

failures only for a specific module
