- Mark the default colormaps read-only, as nobody should be allowed to
modify them
- Additionally mark color values as __read_mostly since they will only be
modified (very seldom) by fb_invert_cmaps()
- Add named C99-initializers in fb_cmap structs and use the ARRAY_SIZE()
macro

This patch adds support for stn displays on the s3c2410 arm SoC.
The LCD type is choosen by a new field in the s3c2410fb_mach_info structure
and its value is the value of the PNRMODE bits. This worth to be noted as
a value of 0 means that you configure a 4 bit dual scan stn display.

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.
- e100_poll --> netif_receive_skb --> packet_rcv_spkt --> skb_clone
--> kmem_cache_alloc
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.
Please see the example that demonstrates how to inject slab allocation
failures only for a specific module
in Documentation/fault-injection/fault-injection.txt

This patch provides fault-injection capability for disk IO.
Boot option:
fail_make_request=<probability>,<interval>,<space>,<times>
<interval> -- specifies the interval of failures.
<probability> -- specifies how often it should fail in percent.
<space> -- specifies the size of free space where disk IO can be issued
safely in bytes.
<times> -- specifies how many times failures may happen at most.
Debugfs:
/debug/fail_make_request/interval
/debug/fail_make_request/probability
/debug/fail_make_request/specifies
/debug/fail_make_request/times
Example:
fail_make_request=10,100,0,-1
echo 1 > /sys/blocks/hda/hda1/make-it-fail
generic_make_request() on /dev/hda1 fails once per 10 times.

This turns on the split input/output speed features and arbitary baud rate
handling for the x86-64 platform. Nothing should break if you use existing
standard speeds. If you use the new speed stuff then you may see some
drivers failing to report the speed changes properly in error cases. This
will be worked on further. For the working cases this all seems happy.
I'll post a test suite used to test the basic stuff as well.
Patches for i386 will follow when I get a moment but are basically the
same. If people could patch/test-suite other architectures and submit them
that would be great.

This is the grungy swap all the occurrences in the right places patch that
goes with the updates. At this point we have the same functionality as
before (except that sgttyb() returns speeds not zero) and are ready to
begin turning new stuff on providing nobody reports lots of bugs
If you are a tty driver author converting an out of tree driver the only
impact should be termios->ktermios name changes for the speed/property
setting functions from your upper layers.
If you are implementing your own TCGETS function before then your driver
was broken already and its about to get a whole lot more painful for you so
please fix it 8)
Also fill in c_ispeed/ospeed on init for most devices, although the current
code will do this for you anyway but I'd like eventually to lose that extra
paranoia

This is the core of the switch to the new framework. I've split it from the
driver patches which are mostly search/replace and would encourage people to
give this one a good hard stare.
The references to BOTHER and ISHIFT are the termios values that must be
defined by a platform once it wants to turn on "new style" ioctl support. The
code patches here ensure that providing
1. The termios overlays the ktermios in memory
2. The only new kernel only fields are c_ispeed/c_ospeed (or none)
the existing behaviour is retained. This is true for the patches at this
point in time.
Future patches will define BOTHER, ISHIFT and enable newer termios structures
for each architecture, and once they are all done some of the ifdefs also
vanish.

In order to sort out our struct termios and add proper speed control we need
to separate the kernel and user termios structures. Glibc is fine but the
other libraries rely on the kernel exported struct termios and we need to
extend this without breaking the ABI/API
To do so we add a struct ktermios which is the kernel view of a termios
structure and overlaps the struct termios with extra fields on the end for
now. (That limitation will go away in later patches). Some platforms (eg
alpha) planned ahead and thus use the same struct for both, others did not.
This just adds the structures but does not use them, it seems a sensible
splitting point for bisect if there are compile failures (not that I expect
them)

This facility provides three entry points:
ilog2() Log base 2 of unsigned long
ilog2_u32() Log base 2 of u32
ilog2_u64() Log base 2 of u64
These facilities can either be used inside functions on dynamic data:
int do_something(long q)
{
...;
y = ilog2(x)
...;
}
Or can be used to statically initialise global variables with constant values:
unsigned n = ilog2(27);
When performing static initialisation, the compiler will report "error:
initializer element is not constant" if asked to take a log of zero or of
something not reducible to a constant. They treat negative numbers as
unsigned.
When not dealing with a constant, they fall back to using fls() which permits
them to use arch-specific log calculation instructions - such as BSR on
x86/x86_64 or SCAN on FRV - if available.

This patch adds common handling for kernel BUGs, for use by architectures as
they wish. The code is derived from arch/powerpc.
The advantages of having common BUG handling are:
- consistent BUG reporting across architectures
- shared implementation of out-of-line file/line data
- implement CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE consistently
This means that in inline impact of BUG is just the illegal instruction
itself, which is an improvement for i386 and x86-64.
A BUG is represented in the instruction stream as an illegal instruction,
which has file/line information associated with it. This extra information is
stored in the __bug_table section in the ELF file.
When the kernel gets an illegal instruction, it first confirms it might
possibly be from a BUG (ie, in kernel mode, the right illegal instruction).
It then calls report_bug(). This searches __bug_table for a matching
instruction pointer, and if found, prints the corresponding file/line
information. If report_bug() determines that it wasn't a BUG which caused the
trap, it returns BUG_TRAP_TYPE_NONE.
Some architectures (powerpc) implement WARN using the same mechanism; if the
illegal instruction was the result of a WARN, then report_bug(Q) returns
CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE; otherwise it returns BUG_TRAP_TYPE_BUG.
lib/bug.c keeps a list of loaded modules which can be searched for __bug_table
entries. The architecture must call
module_bug_finalize()/module_bug_cleanup() from its corresponding
module_finalize/cleanup functions.
Unsetting CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE will reduce the kernel size by some amount.
At the very least, filename and line information will not be recorded for each
but, but architectures may decide to store no extra information per BUG at
all.
Unfortunately, gcc doesn't have a general way to mark an asm() as noreturn, so
architectures will generally have to include an infinite loop (or similar) in
the BUG code, so that gcc knows execution won't continue beyond that point.
gcc does have a __builtin_trap() operator which may be useful to achieve the

itself, because there's no way to get the instruction's address for use in
generating the __bug_table entry.

md_open takes ->reconfig_mutex which causes lockdep to complain. This
(normally) doesn't have deadlock potential as the possible conflict is with a
reconfig_mutex in a different device.
I say "normally" because if a loop were created in the array->member hierarchy
a deadlock could happen. However that causes bigger problems than a deadlock
and should be fixed independently.
So we flag the lock in md_open as a nested lock. This requires defining
mutex_lock_interruptible_nested.

This adds a bio write queue congestion control to the pktcdvd driver with
fixed on/off marks. It prevents that the driver consumes a unlimited
amount of write requests.

Fix the locking of signal->tty.
Use ->sighand->siglock to protect ->signal->tty; this lock is already used
by most other members of ->signal/->sighand. And unless we are 'current'
or the tasklist_lock is held we need ->siglock to access ->signal anyway.
(NOTE: sys_unshare() is broken wrt ->sighand locking rules)
Note that tty_mutex is held over tty destruction, so while holding
tty_mutex any tty pointer remains valid. Otherwise the lifetime of ttys
are governed by their open file handles. This leaves some holes for tty
access from signal->tty (or any other non file related tty access).
It solves the tty SLAB scribbles we were seeing.
(NOTE: the change from group_send_sig_info to __group_send_sig_info needs to
be examined by someone familiar with the security framework, I think
it is safe given the SEND_SIG_PRIV from other __group_send_sig_info
invocations)

The m32r kernel 2.6.18-rc1 or after cause build errors of "unknown isa
configuration" for userspace application programs, such as glibc, gdb, etc.
This is because the recent kernel do not include linux/config.h not to expose
kernel headers for userspace.
To fix the above compile errors, this patch fixes two headers ptrace.h and
sigcontext.h for m32r and makes them platform-independent.
