a79d8e93d3 phy/fixed.c: rework to not duplicate PHY layer functionality
With that patch fixed.c now fully emulates MDIO bus, thus no need
to duplicate PHY layer functionality. That, in turn, drastically
simplifies the code, and drops down line count.

As an additional bonus, now there is no need to register MDIO bus
for each PHY, all emulated PHYs placed on the platform fixed MDIO bus.
There is also no more need to pre-allocate PHYs via .config option,
this is all now handled dynamically.

283029d16a [POWERPC] Add of_find_matching_node() helper function
Similar to of_find_compatible_node(), of_find_matching_node() and
for_each_matching_node() allow you to iterate over the device tree
looking for specific nodes, except that they take of_device_id
tables instead of strings.

This also moves of_match_node() from driver/of/device.c to
driver/of/base.c to colocate it with the of_find_matching_node which
depends on it.

eb13ba8738 lockdep: fix workqueue creation API lockdep interaction
Dave Young reported warnings from lockdep that the workqueue API
can sometimes try to register lockdep classes with the same key
but different names. This is not permitted in lockdep.

Unfortunately, I was unaware of that restriction when I wrote
the code to debug workqueue problems with lockdep and used the
workqueue name as the lockdep class name. This can obviously
lead to the problem if the workqueue name is dynamic.

This patch solves the problem by always using a constant name
for the workqueue's lockdep class, namely either the constant
name that was passed in or a string consisting of the variable
name.

Split pata_platform_{probe,remove} into two pieces:

2. __ptata_platform_{probe,remove} -- device type neutral bits.

This is done to not duplicate code for the OF-platform driver.

84427eaef1 remove task_ppid_nr_ns
task_ppid_nr_ns is called in three places.  One of these should never
have called it.  In the other two, using it broke the existing
semantics.  This was presumably accidental.  If the function had not
been there, it would have been much more obvious to the eye that those
patches were changing the behavior.  We don't need this function.

In task_state, the pid of the ptracer is not the ppid of the ptracer.

In do_task_stat, ppid is the tgid of the real_parent, not its pid.
I also moved the call outside of lock_task_sighand, since it doesn't
need it.

In sys_getppid, ppid is the tgid of the real_parent, not its pid.

9f9adecd2d PM: ACPI and APM must not be enabled at the same time
ACPI and APM used "pm_active" to guarantee that
they would not be simultaneously active.

But pm_active was recently moved under CONFIG_PM_LEGACY,
so that without CONFIG_PM_LEGACY, pm_active became a NOP --
allowing ACPI and APM to both be simultaneously enabled.
This caused unpredictable results, including boot hangs.

Further, the code under CONFIG_PM_LEGACY is scheduled
for removal.

So replace pm_active with pm_flags.
pm_flags depends only on CONFIG_PM,
which is present for both CONFIG_APM and CONFIG_ACPI.

a0a46196cd [NET]: Add NAPI_STATE_DISABLE.
Create a bit to signal that a napi_disable() is in progress.

This sets up infrastructure such that net_rx_action() can generically
break out of the ->poll() loop on a NAPI context that has a pending
napi_disable() yet is being bombed with packets (and thus would
otherwise poll endlessly and not allow the napi_disable() to finish).

Now, what napi_disable() does is first set the NAPI_STATE_DISABLE bit
(to indicate that a disable is pending), then it polls for the
NAPI_STATE_SCHED bit, and once the NAPI_STATE_SCHED bit is acquired
the NAPI_STATE_DISABLE bit is cleared.  Here, the test_and_set_bit()
provides the necessary memory barrier between the various bitops.

napi_schedule_prep() now tests for a pending disable as it's first
action and won't try to obtain the NAPI_STATE_SCHED bit if a disable
is pending.

As a result, we can remove the netif_running() check in
netif_rx_schedule_prep() because the NAPI disable pending state serves
this purpose.  And, it does so in a NAPI centric manner which is what
we really want.

bdb95b1792 [NET]: Do not grab device reference when scheduling a NAPI poll.
It is pointless, because everything that can make a device go away
will do a napi_disable() first.

The main impetus behind this is that now we can legally do a NAPI
completion in generic code like net_rx_action() which a following
changeset needs to do.  net_rx_action() can only perform actions
in NAPI centric ways, because there may be a one to many mapping
between NAPI contexts and network devices (SKY2 is one example).

We also want to get rid of this because it's an extra atomic in the
NAPI paths, and also because it is one of the last instances where the
NAPI interfaces care about net devices.

The one remaining netdev detail the NAPI stuff cares about is the
netif_running() check which will be killed off in a subsequent
changeset.

bf5e5834bf pl2303: Fix mode switching regression
Cleaning out all the incorrect 'no change made' checks for termios
settings showed up a problem with the PL2303. The hardware here seems to
lose sync and bits if you tell it to make no changes. This shows up with
a real world application.

To fix this the driver check for meaningful hardware changes is restored
but doing the tests correctly and as a tty layer function so it doesn't
get duplicated wrongly everywhere if other drivers turn out to need it.

a263898f62 CPU hotplug: fix cpu_is_offline() on !CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU
make randconfig bootup testing found that the cpufreq code
crashes on bootup, if the powernow-k8 driver is enabled and
if maxcpus=1 passed on the boot line to a !CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU
kernel.

First lockdep found out that there's an inconsistent unlock
sequence:

 =====================================
 [ BUG: bad unlock balance detected! ]
 -------------------------------------
 swapper/1 is trying to release lock (&per_cpu(cpu_policy_rwsem, cpu)) at:
 [<ffffffff806ffd8e>] unlock_policy_rwsem_write+0x3c/0x42
 but there are no more locks to release!

Call Trace:
 [<ffffffff806ffd8e>] unlock_policy_rwsem_write+0x3c/0x42

 [<ffffffff807008b6>] cpufreq_add_dev+0x2a8/0x5c4
 ...

then shortly afterwards the cpufreq code crashed on an assert:

 ------------[ cut here ]------------
 kernel BUG at drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c:1068!
 invalid opcode: 0000 [1] SMP
 [...]
 Call Trace:
  [<ffffffff805145d6>] sysdev_driver_unregister+0x5b/0x91

  [<ffffffff80cc0596>] powernowk8_init+0x86/0x94
 [...]
 ---[ end trace 1e9219be2b4431de ]---

the bug was caused by maxcpus=1 bootup, which brought up the
secondary core as !cpu_online() but !cpu_is_offline() either,
which on on !CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is always 0 (include/linux/cpu.h):

  /* CPUs don't go offline once they're online w/o CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU */
  static inline int cpu_is_offline(int cpu) { return 0; }

but the cpufreq code uses cpu_online() and cpu_is_offline() in
a mixed way - the low-level drivers use cpu_online(), while
the cpufreq core uses cpu_is_offline(). This opened up the
possibility to add the non-initialized sysdev device of the
secondary core:

 cpufreq-core: trying to register driver powernow-k8
 cpufreq-core: adding CPU 0
 powernow-k8: BIOS error - no PSB or ACPI _PSS objects
 cpufreq-core: initialization failed
 cpufreq-core: adding CPU 1
 cpufreq-core: initialization failed

which then blew up. The fix is to make cpu_is_offline() always
the negation of cpu_online(). With that fix applied the kernel
boots up fine without crashing:

 Calling initcall 0xffffffff80cc0510: powernowk8_init+0x0/0x94()
 powernow-k8: Found 1 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+ processors (1 cpu cores) (version 2.20.00)
 powernow-k8: BIOS error - no PSB or ACPI _PSS objects
 initcall 0xffffffff80cc0510: powernowk8_init+0x0/0x94() returned -19.
 initcall 0xffffffff80cc0510 ran for 19 msecs: powernowk8_init+0x0/0x94()
 Calling initcall 0xffffffff80cc328f: init_lapic_nmi_sysfs+0x0/0x39()

We could fix this by making CPU enumeration aware of max_cpus, but that
would be more fragile IMO, and the cpu_online(cpu) != cpu_is_offline(cpu)
possibility was quite confusing and a continuous source of bugs too.

Most distributions have kernels with CPU hotplug enabled, so this bug
remained hidden for a long time.

Bug forensics:

The broken cpu_is_offline() API variant was introduced via:

 commit a59d2e4e6977e7b94e003c96a41f07e96cddc340
 Author: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
 Date:   Mon Mar 8 06:06:03 2004 -0800

     [PATCH] minor cleanups for hotplug CPUs

( this predates linux-2.6.git, this commit is available from Thomas's
  historic git tree. )

Then 1.5 years later the cpufreq code made use of it:

 commit c32b6b8e52
 Author: Ashok Raj <ashok.raj@intel.com>
 Date:   Sun Oct 30 14:59:54 2005 -0800

     [PATCH] create and destroy cpufreq sysfs entries based on cpu notifiers

 +       if (cpu_is_offline(cpu))
 +               return 0;

which is a correct use of the subtly broken new API. v2.6.15 then
shipped with this bug included.

then it took two more years for random-kernel qa to hit it.
