The old refok sections .text.init.refok .data.init.refok .exit.text.refok have been deprecated since commit 312b1485. After the other patches in this patch series nothing is put in these sections, so clean things up by eliminating all the remaining references to them. Signed-off-by:

This patch is preparation for replacing all uses of ".head.text" or ".text.head" in the kernel with macros, so that the section name can later be changed without having to touch a lot of the kernel. Since some linker scripts do more complex things than referencing HEAD_TEXT, we add a HEAD_TEXT_SECTION macro that just contains the actual name. I've defined HEAD_TEXT_SECTION in a new header, include/linux/section-names.h, so that this section name only needs to appear in one place. I anticipate creating similar macro structures for a number of other section names. The long-term goal here is to be able to change the kernel's magic section names to those that are compatible with -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections. This requires renaming all magic sections with names of the form ".text.foo". Signed-off-by:

Linux-2.6.29 deleted the legacy ACPI idle handler, leaving the CPU_IDLE handler, which does not track bus master activity. So delete the unused bm_activity field -- it is confusing to print an always zero value.

PCIe 1.1 base neither requires the endpoint to implement the entire PCIe capability structure nor specifies default values of registers that are not implemented by the device. So we only save and restore registers that must be implemented by different device types if the device PCIe capability version is 1. PCIe 1.1 Capability Structure Expansion ECN and PCIe 2.0 requires all registers in the PCIe capability to be either implemented or hardwired to 0. Their PCIe capability version is 2. Signed-off-by:

Impact: fix bio_kmalloc() and its destruction path bio_kmalloc() was broken in two ways. * bvec_alloc_bs() first allocates bvec using kmalloc() and then ignores it and allocates again like non-kmalloc bvecs. * bio_kmalloc_destructor() didn't check for and free bio integrity data. This patch fixes the above problems. kmalloc patch is separated out from bio_alloc_bioset() and allocates the requested number of bvecs as inline bvecs. * bio_alloc_bioset() no longer takes NULL @bs. None other than bio_kmalloc() used it and outside users can't know how it was allocated anyway. * Define and use BIO_POOL_NONE so that pool index check in bvec_free_bs() triggers if inline or kmalloc allocated bvec gets there. * Relocate destructors on top of each allocation function so that how they're used is more clear. Jens Axboe suggested allocating bvecs inline. Signed-off-by:

There is currently only one way for userspace to say "wait for my storage device to get ready for the modules I just loaded": to load the scsi_wait_scan module. Expectations of userspace are that once this module is loaded, all the (storage) devices for which the drivers were loaded before the module load are present. Now, there are some issues with the implementation, and the async stuff got caught in the middle of this: The existing code only waits for the scsy async probing to finish, but it did not take into account at all that probing might not have begun yet. (Russell ran into this problem on his computer and the fix works for him) This patch fixes this more thoroughly than the previous "fix", which had some bad side effects (namely, for kernel code that wanted to wait for the scsi scan it would also do an async sync, which would deadlock if you did it from async context already.. there's a report about that on lkml): The patch makes the module first wait for all device driver probes, and then it will wait for the scsi parallel scan to finish.

In non-SMP mode, the variable section attribute specified by DECLARE_PER_CPU() does not agree with that specified by DEFINE_PER_CPU(). This means that architectures that have a small data section references relative to a base register may throw up linkage errors due to too great a displacement between where the base register points and the per-CPU variable. On FRV, the .h declaration says that the variable is in the .sdata section, but the .c definition says it's actually in the .data section. The linker throws up the following errors: kernel/built-in.o: In function `release_task': kernel/exit.c:78: relocation truncated to fit: R_FRV_GPREL12 against symbol `per_cpu__process_counts' defined in .data section in kernel/built-in.o kernel/exit.c:78: relocation truncated to fit: R_FRV_GPREL12 against symbol `per_cpu__process_counts' defined in .data section in kernel/built-in.o To fix this, DECLARE_PER_CPU() should simply apply the same section attribute as does DEFINE_PER_CPU(). However, this is made slightly more complex by virtue of the fact that there are several variants on DEFINE, so these need to be matched by variants on DECLARE. Signed-off-by:

This is a doc-only patch which I hope will reduce the number of spi_master controller driver patches starting out with a common implementation bug. (As in: almost every spi_master driver I see starts out with its version of this bug. Sigh.) It just re-emphasizes that the setup() method may be called for one device while a transfer is active on another ... which means that most driver implementations shouldn't touch any registers.

Commit 900af0d9 (PM: Change suspend code ordering) changed the ordering of suspend code in such a way that the platform .prepare() callback is now executed after the device drivers' late suspend callbacks have run. Unfortunately, this turns out to break ARM platforms that need to talk via I2C to power control devices during the .prepare() callback. For this reason introduce two new platform suspend callbacks, .prepare_late() and .wake(), that will be called just prior to disabling non-boot CPUs and right after bringing them back on line, respectively, and use them instead of .prepare() and .finish() for ACPI suspend. Make the PM core execute the .prepare() and .finish() platform suspend callbacks where they were executed previously (that is, right after calling the regular suspend methods provided by device drivers and right before executing their regular resume methods, respectively). It is not necessary to make analogous changes to the hibernation code and data structures at the moment, because they are only used by ACPI platforms. Signed-off-by:

Wireless USB endpoint state has a sequence number and a current window and not just a single toggle bit. So allow HCDs to provide a endpoint_reset method and call this or clear the software toggles as required (after a clear halt, set configuration etc.). usb_settoggle() and friends are then HCD internal and are moved into core/hcd.h and all device drivers call usb_reset_endpoint() instead. If the device endpoint state has been reset (with a clear halt) but the host endpoint state has not then subsequent data transfers will not complete. The device will only work again after it is reset or disconnected. Signed-off-by:

This renames include/asm-h8300/timer.h into arch/h8300/include/asm: it was left over just because that file had been created in the -mm tree before the whole h8300 header subdirectory had been moved, and then got merged in the old location afterwards. (See commits e0b0f9e4: "h8300: update timer handler - new files" and 758db3f2: "[h8300] move include/asm-h8300 to arch/h8300/include/asm" for details). This also removes a left-over .gitignore file in include/asm-arm that became stale when the ARM header files were moved (which happened in multiple commits, just see "git log -- include/asm-arm" for details).

pr_debug() used to produce zero code unless DEBUG was #defined. This is now no longer the case in practice[1]. There are places where it's useful to have debugging printks, but we don't want them to generate any code in production kernels. So add a new macro, pr_devel(), for _devel_opment, to provide the old semantics, ie. if the programmer doesn't explicitly enable debugging, no code is produced. [1]: You can turn CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG off, but it's enabled in at least one distro kernel, so it's not really a solution. Signed-off-by:

V3 of the early platform driver implementation. Platform drivers are great for embedded platforms because we can separate driver configuration from the actual driver. So base addresses, interrupts and other configuration can be kept with the processor or board code, and the platform driver can be reused by many different platforms. For early devices we have nothing today. For instance, to configure early timers and early serial ports we cannot use platform devices. This because the setup order during boot. Timers are needed before the platform driver core code is available. The same goes for early printk support. Early in this case means before initcalls. These early drivers today have their configuration either hard coded or they receive it using some special configuration method. This is working quite well, but if we want to support both regular kernel modules and early devices then we need to have two ways of configuring the same driver. A single way would be better. The early platform driver patch is basically a set of functions that allow drivers to register themselves and architecture code to locate them and probe. Registration happens through early_param(). The time for the probe is decided by the architecture code. See Documentation/driver-model/platform.txt for more details. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes] Signed-off-by:
