Enabled DEBUG_LL hardcodes the UART address into the kernel and results
in a non-portable kernel image. Since this option is only intended for
use when debugging early boot failures, supporting multiple platforms
in such a configuration is not the intended use-case.
This patch documents this limitation in the DEBUG_LL Kconfig help text,
so that users are aware of the portability restrictions that are associated
with enabling low-level debugging support.

Enabling CONFIG_DEBUG_LL (which is required for earlyprintk) hardwires
the debug UART address into the kernel, so that we can print before the
platform is initialised.
If the user inadvertently selects multiple platforms with DEBUG_LL
enabled, the UART address may not be correct and will likely cause the
kernel to hang in the very early stages of boot.
This patch, based on a skeleton from Russell, uses a Kconfig choice for
selecting the DEBUG_LL UART, therefore allowing the user to make a
choice about the supported platform when DEBUG_LL is enabled.

Commit be020f8618, "ARM: entry: abort-macro: specify registers to be
used for macros", while replacing register numbers with macro parameter
names, mismatched the name used for r1. For me, this resulted in user
space built for EABI with -march=armv4t -mtune=arm920t -mthumb-interwork
-mthumb broken on my OMAP1510 based Amstrad Delta (old ABI and no thumb
still worked for me though).
Fix this by using correct parameter name fsr instead of mismatched psr,
used by callers for another purpose.

Since backlight_types[] isn't modified, let's declare it const. That
was probably the intention of the author of commit bb7ca747f8
("backlight: add backlight type"), via which the "const char const *"
construct was introduced. The duplicate const was detected by sparse.

md: Fix handling for devices from 2TB to 4TB in 0.90 metadata.
md/raid1,10: Remove use-after-free bug in make_request.
md/raid10: unify handling of write completion.
Avoid dereferencing a 'request_queue' after last close.
0.90 metadata uses an unsigned 32bit number to count the number of
kilobytes used from each device.
This should allow up to 4TB per device.
However we multiply this by 2 (to get sectors) before casting to a
larger type, so sizes above 2TB get truncated.
Also we allow rdev->sectors to be larger than 4TB, so it is possible
for the array to be resized larger than the metadata can handle.
So make sure rdev->sectors never exceeds 4TB when 0.90 metadata is in
used.
Also the sanity check at the end of super_90_load should include level
1 as it used ->size too. (RAID0 and Linear don't use ->size at all).

A single request to RAID1 or RAID10 might result in multiple
requests if there are known bad blocks that need to be avoided.
To detect if we need to submit another write request we test:
if (sectors_handled < (bio->bi_size >> 9)) {
However this is after we call **_write_done() so the 'bio' no longer
belongs to us - the writes could have completed and the bio freed.
So move the **_write_done call until after the test against
bio->bi_size.

A write can complete at two different places:
1/ when the last member-device write completes, through
raid10_end_write_request
2/ in make_request() when we remove the initial bias from ->remaining.
These two should do exactly the same thing and the comment says they
do, but they don't.
So factor the correct code out into a function and call it in both
places. This makes the code much more similar to RAID1.
The difference is only significant if there is an error, and they
usually take a while, so it is unlikely that there will be an error
already when make_request is completing, so this is unlikely to cause
real problems.

On the last close of an 'md' device which as been stopped, the device
is destroyed and in particular the request_queue is freed. The free
is done in a separate thread so it might happen a short time later.
__blkdev_put calls bdev_inode_switch_bdi *after* ->release has been
called.
Since commit f758eeabeb
bdev_inode_switch_bdi will dereference the 'old' bdi, which lives
inside a request_queue, to get a spin lock. This causes the last
close on an md device to sometime take a spin_lock which lives in
freed memory - which results in an oops.
So move the called to bdev_inode_switch_bdi before the call to
->release.

Commit b03e7495a8 ("PCI: Set PCI-E Max Payload Size on fabric")
introduced a potential NULL pointer dereference in calls to
pcie_bus_configure_settings due to attempts to access pci_bus self
variables when the self pointer is NULL.
To correct this, verify that the self pointer in pci_bus is non-NULL
before dereferencing it.

Prior to 2.6.38 automount would not trigger on either stat(2) or
lstat(2) on the automount point.
After 2.6.38, with the introduction of the ->d_automount()
infrastructure, stat(2) and others would start triggering automount
while lstat(2), etc. still would not. This is a regression and a
userspace ABI change.
Problem originally reported here:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.autofs/6098
It appears that there was an attempt at fixing various userspace tools
to not trigger the automount. But since the stat system call is
rather common it is impossible to "fix" all userspace.
This patch reverts the original behavior, which is to not trigger on
stat(2) and other symlink following syscalls.
[ It's not really clear what the right behavior is. Apparently Solaris
does the "automount on stat, leave alone on lstat". And some programs
can get unhappy when "stat+open+fstat" ends up giving a different
result from the fstat than from the initial stat.
But the change in 2.6.38 resulted in problems for some people, so
we're going back to old behavior. Maybe we can re-visit this
discussion at some future date - Linus ]
