usbcore: khubd and busy-port handling
We don't want khubd to start interfering in the device-resume process
merely because the PORT_STATUS_C_SUSPEND feature happens to be set.
Ports need to be marked as busy while a resume is taking place.
In addition, so long as ports are marked as busy, khubd won't be able to
clear their various status-change features. On an interrupt-driven root
hub this could lead to an interrupt storm. Root hub IRQs should not be
re-enabled until the busy_bits value is equal to 0.
This patch (as765) fixes these two potential problems.

usbcore: make hcd_endpoint_disable wait for queue to drain
The inconsistent lock state problem in usbcore (the one that shows up
when an HCD is unloaded) comes down to two inter-related problems:
usb_rh_urb_dequeue() isn't set up to be called with interrupts
disabled.
hcd_endpoint_disable() doesn't wait for all URBs on the
endpoint's queue to complete.
The two problems are related because the one type of URB that isn't
likely to be complete when hcd_endpoint_disable() returns is a root-hub
URB. Right now usb_rh_urb_dequeue() waits for them to complete, and it
assumes interrupts are enabled so it can wait. But
hcd_endpoint_disable() calls it with interrupts disabled.
Now, it should be legal to unlink root-hub URBs with interrupts
disabled. The solution is to move the waiting into
hcd_endpoint_disable(), where it belongs. This patch (as754) does that.
It turns out to be completely safe to replace the del_timer_sync() with
a simple del_timer(). It doesn't matter if the timer routine is
running; hcd_root_hub_lock will synchronize the two threads and the
status URB will complete with an unlink error, as it should.

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

[PATCH] x86: use probe_kernel_address in handle_BUG()
Avoid possible deadlock on a BUG() inside down_write(mmap_sem). The deadlock
can only occur if something has gone horridly wrong, because a fault here
shouldn't happen.

Ingo Oeser pointed out that because current expands to an inline function
it is more space efficient and somewhat faster to simply keep a cached copy
of current in another variable. This patch implements that for the
de_thread function.

[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.

[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.

[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 ;)

[PATCH] x86 microcode: don't check the size
IA32 manual says if micorcode update's size is 0, then the size is
default size (2048 bytes). But this doesn't suggest all microcode

[PATCH] x86 microcode: add sysfs and hotplug support
Add sysfs support. Currently each CPU has three microcode related
attributes. One is 'version' which shows current ucode version of CPU.
Tools can use the attribute do validation or show CPU ucode status. one is
'reload' which allows manually reloading ucode. Another is
'processor_flags', which exports processor flags, so we can write tools to
check if CPU has latest ucode. Also add suspend/resume and CPU hotplug
support.

[PATCH] x86 microcode: using request_firmware to pull microcode
Using request_firmware to pull ucode from userspace, so we don't need the
application 'microcode_ctl' to assist. We name each ucode file according
to CPU's info as intel-ucode/family-model-stepping. In this way we could
split ucode file as small one. This has a lot of advantages such as
selectively update and validate microcode for specific models, better
manage microcode file, easily write tools for administerators and so on.
with the changes, we should put all intel-ucode/xx-xx-xx microcode files
into the firmware dir (I had a tool to split previous big data file into
small one and later we will release new style data file). The init script
should be changed to just loading the driver without unloading

[PATCH] inode-diet: Eliminate i_blksize from the inode structure
This eliminates the i_blksize field from struct inode. Filesystems that want
to provide a per-inode st_blksize can do so by providing their own getattr
routine instead of using the generic_fillattr() function.
Note that some filesystems were providing pretty much random (and incorrect)
values for i_blksize.
[PATCH] inode_diet: Replace inode.u.generic_ip with inode.i_private
The following patches reduce the size of the VFS inode structure by 28 bytes
on a UP x86. (It would be more on an x86_64 system). This is a 10% reduction
in the inode size on a UP kernel that is configured in a production mode
(i.e., with no spinlock or other debugging functions enabled; if you want to
save memory taken up by in-core inodes, the first thing you should do is
disable the debugging options; they are responsible for a huge amount of bloat
in the VFS inode structure).
This patch:
The filesystem or device-specific pointer in the inode is inside a union,
which is pretty pointless given that all 30+ users of this field have been
using the void pointer. Get rid of the union and rename it to i_private, with
a comment to explain who is allowed to use the void pointer. This is just a
cleanup, but it allows us to reuse the union 'u' for something something where
the union will actually be used.
[PATCH] kdump: introduce "reset_devices" command line option
Resetting the devices during driver initialization can be a costly
operation in terms of time (especially scsi devices). This option can be
used by drivers to know that user forcibly wants the devices to be reset
during initialization.
This option can be useful while kernel is booting in unreliable
environment. For ex. during kdump boot where devices are in unknown
random state and BIOS execution has been skipped.
