0ca71737fe MIPS: Simplify and correct interrupt handling for MSP4200
The current interrupt handling code for the MSP4200 always masks an
interrupt before acknowledging it.  This is not required, as that will be
handled by the level interrupt handler.  This change simplifies the MSP4200
code to remove the masking in the ack routine, and makes sure that the
minimum required operation is performed for masking and acking, rather
than always both masking and acking the interrupt.

0e66fff883 MIPS: Fix loading of modules with unresolved weak symbols
Loading of modules with unresolved weak symbols fails on MIPS
since '88173507e4fc1e7ecd111b0565e8cba0cb7dae6d'.

Modules: handle symbols that have a zero value

The module subsystem cannot handle symbols that are zero.  If symbols
are present that have a zero value then the module resolver prints out a
message that these symbols are unresolved.

We have to use IS_ERR_VALUE() to check that a symbol has been resolved
or not.

484889fc85 MIPS: Avoid clobbering struct pt_regs in kthreads
The resume() implementation octeon_switch.S examines the saved cp0_status
register.  We were clobbering the entire pt_regs structure in kernel
threads leading to random crashes.

When switching away from a kernel thread, the saved cp0_status is examined
and if bit 30 is set it is cleared and the CP2 state saved into the pt_regs
structure.  Since the kernel thread stack overlaid the pt_regs structure
this resulted in a corrupt stack.  When the kthread with the corrupt stack
was resumed, it could crash if it used any of the data in the stack that was
clobbered.

We fix it by moving the kernel thread stack down so it doesn't overlay
pt_regs.

As revalidate_disk calls check_disk_size_change, it will cause
any capacity change of a gendisk to be propagated to the blockdev
inode.  So use that instead of mucking about with locks and
i_size_write.

Also add a call to revalidate_disk in do_md_run and a few other places
where the gendisk capacity is changed.

64bd660b51 md: allow raid5_quiesce to work properly when reshape is happening.
The ->quiesce method is not supposed to stop resync/recovery/reshape,
just normal IO.
But in raid5 we don't have a way to know which stripes are being
used for normal IO and which for resync etc, so we need to wait for
all stripes to be idle to be sure that all writes have completed.

However reshape keeps at least some stripe busy for an extended period
of time, so a call to raid5_quiesce can block for several seconds
needlessly.
So arrange for reshape etc to pause briefly while raid5_quiesce is
trying to quiesce the array so that the active_stripes count can
drop to zero.

As the internal reshape_progress counter is the main driver

70471dafe3 md: Handle growth of v1.x metadata correctly.
The v1.x metadata does not have a fixed size and can grow
when devices are added.
If it grows enough to require an extra sector of storage,
we need to update the 'sb_size' to match.

Without this, md can write out an incomplete superblock with a
bad checksum, which will be rejected when trying to re-assemble
the array.

3a981b03f3 md: when a level change reduces the number of devices, remove the excess.
When an array is changed from RAID6 to RAID5, fewer drives are
needed.  So any device that is made superfluous by the level
conversion must be marked as not-active.
For the RAID6->RAID5 conversion, this will be a drive which only
has 'Q' blocks on it.

ac5e7113e7 md: Push down data integrity code to personalities.
This patch replaces md_integrity_check() by two new public functions:
md_integrity_register() and md_integrity_add_rdev() which are both
personality-independent.

md_integrity_register() is called from the ->run and ->hot_remove
methods of all personalities that support data integrity.  The
function iterates over the component devices of the array and
determines if all active devices are integrity capable and if their
profiles match. If this is the case, the common profile is registered
for the mddev via blk_integrity_register().

The second new function, md_integrity_add_rdev() is called from the
->hot_add_disk methods, i.e. whenever a new device is being added
to a raid array. If the new device does not support data integrity,
or has a profile different from the one already registered, data
integrity for the mddev is disabled.

For raid0 and linear, only the call to md_integrity_register() from
the ->run method is necessary.

79896cf42f Make pci_claim_resource() use request_resource() rather than insert_resource()
This function has traditionally used "insert_resource()", because before
commit cebd78a8c5 ("Fix pci_claim_resource") it used to just insert the
resource into whatever root resource tree that was indicated by
"pcibios_select_root()".

So there Matthew fixed it to actually look up the proper parent
resource, which means that now it's actively wrong to then traverse the
resource tree any more: we already know exactly where the new resource
should go.

And when we then did commit a76117dfd6 ("x86: Use pci_claim_resource"),
which changed the x86 PCI code from the open-coded

	pr = pci_find_parent_resource(dev, r);
	if (!pr || request_resource(pr, r) < 0) {

to using

	if (pci_claim_resource(dev, idx) < 0) {

that "insert_resource()" now suddenly became a problem, and causes a
regression covered by

	http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13891

which this fixes.

7334546a52 eeepc-laptop: fix hot-unplug on resume
OOPS on resume when the wireless adaptor is disabled during suspend was
introduced by "eeepc-laptop: read rfkill soft-blocked state on resume".

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference

Process s2disk
Tainted: G W
IP: klist_put

Call trace:
? klist_del
? device_del
? device_unregister
? pci_stop_dev
? pci_stop_bus
? pci_remove_device
? eeepc_rfkill_hotplug [eeepc_laptop]
? eeepc_hotk_resume [eeepc_laptop]
? acpi_device_resume
? device_resume
? hibernation_snapshot

It appears the PCI device is removed twice.  The eeepc_rfkill_hotplug()
call from the resume handler is racing against the call from the ACPI
notifier callback.  The ACPI notification is triggered by the resume
handler when it refreshes the value of CM_ASL_WLAN.

The fix is to serialize hotplug calls using a workqueue.

done in GPE-related methods that are run via workqueues, so we can avoid

59fe4fe34d thinkpad-acpi: fix incorrect use of TPACPI_BRGHT_MODE_ECNVRAM
HBRV-based default selection of backlight control strategy didn't work
well, at least the X41 defines it but doesn't use it and I don't think
it will stop there.

Switch to a white/blacklist.  All models that have HBRV defined have
been included in the list, and initially all ATI GPUs will get
ECNVRAM, and the Intel GPUs will get UCMS_STEP.

Symptoms of incorrect backlight mode selection are:

1. Non-working backlight control through sysfs;

2. Backlight gets reset to the lowest level at every shutdown, reboot
   and when thinkpad-acpi gets unloaded;

This fixes a regression in 2.6.30, bugzilla #13826

The standard ACPI dock driver can handle the hotplug bays and docks of

HAL) so this wouldn't justify fixing the dock and bay subdrivers,
either.

That leaves warm-swap bays (_EJ3) support for thinkpad-acpi, as well
as support for the weird dock of the model 570, but since such support
has never left the "experimental" stage, it is also not a strong
enough reason to find a way to fix this code.

Users of ThinkPads with warm-swap bays are urged to request that _EJ3
support be added to the regular ACPI dock driver, if such feature is
indeed useful for them.

550e7fd8af thinkpad-acpi: disable broken bay and dock subdrivers
Currently, the ThinkPad-ACPI bay and dock drivers are completely
broken, and cause a NULL pointer derreference in kernel mode (and,
therefore, an OOPS) when they try to issue events (i.e. on dock,
undock, bay ejection, etc).

OTOH, the standard ACPI dock driver can handle the hotplug bays and
docks of the ThinkPads just fine (including batteries) as of 2.6.27.
In fact, it does a much better job of it than thinkpad-acpi ever did.

It is just not worth the hassle to find a way to fix this crap without
breaking the (deprecated) thinkpad-acpi dock/bay ABI.  This is old,
deprecated code that sees little testing or use.

As a quick fix suitable for -stable backports, mark the thinkpad-acpi
bay and dock subdrivers as BROKEN in Kconfig.  The dead code will be
removed by a later patch.

This fixes bugzilla #13669, and should be applied to 2.6.27 and later.

0dd8486b5c do_sigaltstack: small cleanups
The previous commit ("do_sigaltstack: avoid copying 'stack_t' as a
structure to user space") fixed a real bug.  This one just cleans up the
copy from user space to that gcc can generate better code for it (and so
that it looks the same as the later copy back to user space).

0083fc2c50 do_sigaltstack: avoid copying 'stack_t' as a structure to user space
Ulrich Drepper correctly points out that there is generally padding in
the structure on 64-bit hosts, and that copying the structure from
kernel to user space can leak information from the kernel stack in those
padding bytes.

Avoid the whole issue by just copying the three members one by one
instead, which also means that the function also can avoid the need for
a stack frame.  This also happens to match how we copy the new structure
from user space, so it all even makes sense.

[ The obvious solution of adding a memset() generates horrid code, gcc
  does really stupid things. ]
