Driver for the Silicon Motion SM501 multifunction device framebuffer
subsystem.
This driver supports both the CRT and LCD panel heads, with some simple
acceleration for the cursor plotting and support for screen panning. There
is no current support for bitblt/drawing engines, which should be added at
a later date.
This has been tested on a number of configurations, including PCI and
generic-bus, on PPC, ARM and SH4

This patch stops "modpost" from issuing erroneous modpost warnings on ARM
builds, which it's been doing since since maybe last summer. A canonical
example would be driver method table entries:
WARNING: <path> - Section mismatch: reference to .exit.text:<name>_remove
from .data after '$d' (at offset 0x4)
That "$d" symbol is generated by tools conformant with ARM ABI specs; in
this case it's a symbol **in the middle of** a "<name>_driver" struct.
The erroneous warnings appear to be issued because "modpost" whitelists
references from "<name>_driver" data into init and exit sections ... but
doesn't know should also include those "$d" mapping symbols, which are not
otherwise associated with "<name>_driver" symbols.
This patch prevents the modpost symbol lookup code from ever returning
those mapping symbols, so it will return a whitelisted symbol instead.
Then things work as expected.
Now to revert various code-bloating "fixes" that got merged because of this
modpost bug....

Various bug fixes to the at91rm9200 RTC:
- alarm: setalarm() should pay attention to the "enabled" flag
- init: cleaner handling of the wakeup flags, which cpu init should
really have set up. Doing it here is just a workaround.
- linkage: since the at91_rtc driver probe() routine is in the init
section, it should use platform_driver_probe() instead of leaving
that pointer around in the driver struct after init section removal.
- linkage: likewise, remove() belongs in the exit section.
Among other things, the init and alarm changes ensure that this driver
handles the new sysfs "wakealarm" attribute properly.

Some rtc-sa1100 bugfixes:
- The read_alarm() method reports the rtc_wkalrm.enabled field properly.
This patch is already in the handhelds.org tree.
- And the set_alarm() method now handles that flag correctly, rather than
making mismatched {en,dis}able_irq_wake() calls, which trigger runtime
warning messages. (Those calls are best made in suspend/resume methods.)
Note that while this SA1100/PXA RTC is fully capable of waking those ARM
processors from sleep states, that mechanism isn't properly supported on
either processor family, or in this driver. Some boards have board-specific
PM glue providing partial workarounds for the weak generic PM support.

affs wants to truncate the inode when the last user goes away, currently it
does that through a potentially racy i_count check in ->put_inode. But we
already have a method that's called just after the we dropped the last

advantage of this.

This problem was identified and fixed some time ago by Jeff Moyer but it fell
through the cracks somehow.
It is possible that a user space application could remove and re-create a
directory during a request. To avoid returning a failure from lookup
incorrectly when our current dentry is unhashed we need to check if another
positive, hashed dentry matching this one exists and if so return it instead
of a fail.

Jeff Moyer has identified a race between mount and expire.
What happens is that during an expire the situation can arise that a directory
is removed and another lookup is done before the expire issues a completion
status to the kernel module. In this case, since the the lookup gets a new
dentry, it doesn't know that there is an expire in progress and when it posts
its mount request, matches the existing expire request and waits for its
completion. ENOENT is then returned to user space from lookup (as the dentry
passed in is now unhashed) without having performed the mount request.
The solution used here is to keep track of dentrys in this unhashed state and
reuse them, if possible, in order to preserve the flags. Additionally, this
infrastructure will provide the framework for the reintroduction of caching of
mount fails removed earlier in development.

nobh_prepare_write leaks data similarly to how simple_prepare_write did. Fix
by not marking the page uptodate until nobh_commit_write time. Again, this
could break weird use-cases, but none appear to exist in the tree.
We can safely remove the set_page_dirty, because as the comment says,
nobh_commit_write does set_page_dirty. If a filesystem wants to allocate
backing store for a page dirtied via mmap, page_mkwrite is the suggested
approach.

simple_prepare_write leaks uninitialised kernel data. This happens because
the it leaves an uninitialised "hole" over the part of the page that the
write is expected to go to. This is fine, but it then marks the page
uptodate, which means a concurrent read can come in and copy the
uninitialised memory into userspace before it written to.
Fix it by simply marking it uptodate in simple_commit_write instead, after
the hole has been filled in. This could theoretically break an fs that
uses simple_prepare_write and not simple_commit_write, and that relies on
the incorrect simple_prepare_write behaviour. Luckily, none of those
exists in the tree.

The problem comes when ks0108/cfag12864b are built-in and no parallel port is
present. ks0108_init() is called first, as it should be, but fails to load
(as there is no parallel port to use).
After that, cfag12864b_init() gets called, without knowing anything about
ks0108 failed, and calls ks0108_writecontrol(), which dereferences an
uninitialized pointer.
Init order is OK, I think. The problem is how to stop cfag12864b_init() being
called if ks0108 failed to load. modprobe does it for us, but, how when
built-in?

Andrew noticed that unlocking the page before submitting all buffers for

The current ipc shared memory code runs into several problems because it
does not quite use files like the rest of the kernel. With the option of
backing ipc shared memory with either hugetlbfs or ordinary shared memory
the problems got worse. With the added support for ipc namespaces things
behaved so unexpected that we now have several bad namespace reference
counting bugs when using what appears at first glance to be a reasonable
idiom.
So to attack these problems and hopefully make the code more maintainable
this patch simply uses the files provided by other parts of the kernel and
builds it's own files out of them. The shm files are allocated in do_shmat
and freed when their reference count drops to zero with their last unmap.
The file and vm operations that we don't want to implement or we don't
implement completely we just delegate to the operations of our backing
file.
This means that we now get an accurate shm_nattch count for we have a
hugetlbfs inode for backing store, and the shm accounting of last attach
and last detach time work as well.
This means that getting a reference to the ipc namespace when we create the
file and dropping the referenece in the release method is now safe and
correct.
This means we no longer need a special case for clearing VM_MAYWRITE
as our file descriptor now only has write permissions when we have
requested write access when calling shmat. Although VM_SHARED is now
cleared as well which I believe is harmless and is mostly likely a
minor bug fix.
By using the same set of operations for both the hugetlb case and regular
shared memory case shmdt is not simplified and made slightly more correct
as now the test "vma->vm_ops == &shm_vm_ops" is 100% accurate in spotting
all shared memory regions generated from sysvipc shared memory.

The alien cache is a per cpu per node array allocated for every slab on the
system. Currently we size this array for all nodes that the kernel does
support. For IA64 this is 1024 nodes. So we allocate an array with 1024
objects even if we only boot a system with 4 nodes.
This patch uses "nr_node_ids" to determine the number of possible nodes
supported by a hardware configuration and only allocates an alien cache
sized for possible nodes.
The initialization of nr_node_ids occurred too late relative to the bootstrap
of the slab allocator and so I moved the setup_nr_node_ids() into
free_area_init_nodes().

We frequently need the maximum number of possible processors in order to
allocate arrays for all processors. So far this was done using
highest_possible_processor_id(). However, we do need the number of
processors not the highest id. Moreover the number was so far dynamically
calculated on each invokation. The number of possible processors does not
change when the system is running. We can therefore calculate that number
once.

highest_possible_node_id() is currently used to calculate the last possible
node idso that the network subsystem can figure out how to size per node
arrays.
I think having the ability to determine the maximum amount of nodes in a
system at runtime is useful but then we should name this entry
correspondingly, it should return the number of node_ids, and the the value
needs to be setup only once on bootup. The node_possible_map does not
change after bootup.
This patch introduces nr_node_ids and replaces the use of
highest_possible_node_id(). nr_node_ids is calculated on bootup when the
page allocators pagesets are initialized.

bind_zonelist() can create zero-length zonelist if there is a
memory-less-node. This patch checks the length of zonelist. If length is
0, returns -EINVAL.

Several people have reported failures in dynamic major device number handling
due to the recent changes in there to avoid handing out the local/experimental
majors.
Rolf reports that this is due to a gcc-4.1.0 bug.
The patch refactors that code a lot in an attempt to provoke the compiler into
behaving.

Somehow we got the layout of the v3 superblock wrong, which causes crashes due
to overindexing of the buffer_head array in statfs on large fielsystems.

If one of clear_bit, change_bit or set_bit is defined as a do { } while (0)
function usage of these functions in parenthesis like
(foo_bit(23, &var))
while be expaned to something like
(do { ... } while (0)}).
resulting in a build error. This patch removes the useless parenthesis.
