Alan Cox 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

Mathieu Desnoyers 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.

John Reiser 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.

Rusty Russell 3a642e99ba modules: Take a shortcut for checking if an address is in a module
This patch keeps track of the boundaries of module allocation, in
order to speed up module_text_address().

Inspired by Arjan's version, which required arch-specific defines:

	Various pieces of the kernel (lockdep, latencytop, etc) tend
	to store backtraces, sometimes at a relatively high
	frequency. In itself this isn't a big performance deal (after
	all you're using diagnostics features), but there have been
	some complaints from people who have over 100 modules loaded
	that this is a tad too slow.

	This is due to the new backtracer code which looks at every
	slot on the stack to see if it's a kernel/module text address,
	so that's 1024 slots.  1024 times 100 modules... that's a lot
	of list walking.

This shrinks module.o and each *.ko file.

And finally, structure members which hold length of module
code (four such members there) and count of symbols
are converted from longs to ints.

We cannot possibly have a module where 32 bits won't
be enough to hold such counts.

For one, module loading checks module size for sanity
before loading, so such insanely big module will fail
that test first.

Rusty, in his peevish way, complained that macros defining constants

Aside from the fact that PTE_MASK gives no clue as to what's actually
being masked, and is misleadingly similar to the functionally entirely
different PMD_MASK, PUD_MASK and PGD_MASK, I don't really see what the
problem is.

But if this patch silences the incessent noise, then it will have
achieved its goal (TODO: write test-case).

Rusty Russell c2e3277f87 x86: fix pte_flags() to only return flags, fix lguest (updated)
(Jeremy said:
	rusty: use PTE_MASK
	rusty: use PTE_MASK
	rusty: use PTE_MASK
 When I asked:
	jsgf: does that include the NX flag?
 He responded eloquently:
	rusty: use PTE_MASK
	rusty: use PTE_MASK
	yes, it's the official constant of masking flags out of ptes
)

Change a15af1c9ea 'x86/paravirt: add
pte_flags to just get pte flags' removed lguest's private pte_flags()
in favor of a generic one.

Unfortunately, the generic one doesn't filter out the non-flags bits:
this results in lguest creating corrupt shadow page tables and blowing
up host memory.

Since noone is supposed to use the pfn part of pte_flags(), it seems
safest to always do the filtering.

Andi Kleen d95d62c018 sysdev: Convert the x86 mce tolerant sysdev attribute to generic attribute
Use the new generic int attribute accessors for the x86 mce tolerant
attribute. Simple example to illustrate the new macros.

There are much more places all over the tree that could be converted
like this.

Andi Kleen 9800794ac1 sysdev: Add utility functions for simple int/ulong variable sysdev attributes
This adds a new sysdev_ext_attribute that stores a pointer to the variable
it manages and some utility functions/macro to easily use them.

Previously all users wrote custom macros to generate show/store
functions for each variable, with this it is possible to avoid
that in many cases.

Andi Kleen 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.

Runtime tested: x86-32, x86-64
Compiled only: ia64, powerpc
Not compile tested/only grep converted: sh, arm, avr32

Cornelia Huck 36ce6dad6e driver core: Suppress sysfs warnings for device_rename().
driver core: Suppress sysfs warnings for device_rename().

Renaming network devices to an already existing name is not
something we want sysfs to print a scary warning for, since the
callers can deal with this correctly. So let's introduce
sysfs_create_link_nowarn() which gets rid of the common warning.
