During bootup performance tracing we see repeated occurrences of
/sys/kernel/uid/* events for the same uid, leading to a,
in this case, rather pointless userspace processing for the
same uid over and over.
This is usually caused by tools which change their uid to "nobody",
to run without privileges to read data supplied by untrusted users.
This change delays the execution of the (already existing) scheduled
work, to cleanup the uid after one second, so the allocated and announced
uid can possibly be re-used by another process.
This is the current behavior, where almost every invocation of a
binary, which changes the uid, creates two events:
$ read START < /sys/kernel/uevent_seqnum; \
for i in `seq 100`; do su --shell=/bin/true bin; done; \
read END < /sys/kernel/uevent_seqnum; \
echo $(($END - $START))
178
With the delayed cleanup, we get only two events, and userspace finishes
a bit faster too:
$ read START < /sys/kernel/uevent_seqnum; \
for i in `seq 100`; do su --shell=/bin/true bin; done; \
read END < /sys/kernel/uevent_seqnum; \
echo $(($END - $START))

Commit 900af0d973856d6feb6fc088c2d0d3fde57707d3 (PM: Change suspend
code ordering) changed the ordering of suspend code in such a way
that the platform .prepare() callback is now executed after the
device drivers' late suspend callbacks have run. Unfortunately, this
turns out to break ARM platforms that need to talk via I2C to power
control devices during the .prepare() callback.
For this reason introduce two new platform suspend callbacks,
.prepare_late() and .wake(), that will be called just prior to
disabling non-boot CPUs and right after bringing them back on line,
respectively, and use them instead of .prepare() and .finish() for
ACPI suspend. Make the PM core execute the .prepare() and .finish()
platform suspend callbacks where they were executed previously (that
is, right after calling the regular suspend methods provided by
device drivers and right before executing their regular resume
methods, respectively).
It is not necessary to make analogous changes to the hibernation
code and data structures at the moment, because they are only used
by ACPI platforms.

This reverts commit 1c55f18717304100a5f624c923f7cb6511b4116d.
Ingo Brueckl was assuming that reverting to 1:1 mapping for chars >= 128
was not useful, but it happens to be: due to the limitations of the
Linux console, when a blind user wants to read BIG5 on it, he has no
other way than loading a font without SFM and let the 1:1 mapping permit
the screen reader to get the BIG5 encoding.

Since commit 0a1c01c9477602ee8b44548a9405b2c1d587b5a2 ("Make relatime
default") when a file system is mounted explicitely with noatime it gets
both the MNT_RELATIME and MNT_NOATIME bits set.
This shows up like this in /proc/mounts:
/dev/xxx /yyy ext3 rw,noatime,relatime,errors=continue,data=writeback 0 0
That looks strange. The VFS uses noatime in this case, but both flags
are set. So it's more a cosmetic issue, but still better to fix.

Fixes guest crash 'lguest: bad read address 0x4800000 len 256'
The new per-cpu allocator ends up handing a non-linear address to
write_gdt_entry. We do __pa() on it, and hand it to the host, which
kills us.
I've long wanted to make the hypercall "LOAD_GDT_ENTRY" to match the IDT
code, but had no pressing reason until now.

Typical message: 'lguest: unhandled trap 6 at 0x418726 (0x0)'
vmlinux guests were broken by 4cd8b5e2a159f18a1507f1187b44a1acbfa6341b
'lguest: use KVM hypercalls', which rewrites guest text from kvm hypercalls
to trap 31.
The Launcher mmaps the kernel image. The Guest executes and
immediately faults in the first text page (read-only). Then it hits a
hypercall, and we rewrite that hypercall, causing a copy-on-write.
But the Guest pagetables still refer to the old page: we fault again,
but as Host we see the hypercall already rewritten, and pass the fault
back to the Guest. The Guest hasn't set up an IDT yet, so we kill it.
This doesn't happen with bzImages: they unpack themselves and so the
text pages are already read-write.

Following patch introduce support for setting options
to gcc that has effect for current directory and all
subdirectories.
The typical use case are an architecture or a subsystem that
decide to cover all files with -Werror.
Today alpha, mips and sparc uses -Werror in almost all their
Makefile- with subdir-ccflag-y it is now simpler to do so
as only the top-level directories needs to be covered.
Likewise if we decide to cover a full subsystem such
as net/ with -Werror this is done by adding a single
line to net/Makefile.

We need a location for generated files.
Today they are spread over several places and bringing them
together to a common place makes it obvious hat is generated
and what isreal files.
Al Viro originally suggested: include/gen
Linus suggested to spell it out.
This patch implement support for
include/generated
All files in include/generated are ignored by git.
include/generated is removed during "make mrproper".
With this we are ready to implement support for include/generated
in the various architctures and in the base kernel.

MTD has got sysfs support in 2.6.30-rc1. But subpage size is not
exposed there - do this.
UBI utilities badly need this parameter. At the moment there is
no way to get subpage size - ioctls do not return it. And we
just got sysfs support, so we can easilly extend it with this
additional parameter.
This can be merged late in the development cycle because:
1. sysfs support has been just added - there are no users for
it so far, even.
2. UBI utilities really need this parameter, and it is better
not to delay this.

This function is not actually used right now, since the original use
case for it was done with insert_resource_expand_to_fit() instead.
However, we now have another usage case that wants to basically do a
"reserve IO resource, splitting around existing resources", however that
one doesn't actually want the "recurse into the conflicting resource"
logic at all.
And since recursing into the conflicting resource was the most complex
part, and isn't wanted, just remove it. Maybe we'll some day want both
versions, but we can just resurrect the logic then.

This patch adds an accelerated driver for Atmel AVR32 AT32AP700X
microprocessors. It uses interrupts on the channel B in the AC97
controller. Thus, offloading the work queue in the wm97xx-ts driver.
The driver has been tested with Atmel AVR32 AT32AP7000 and Wolfson
WM9712 codec.
The driver can also be easily modified to support Atmel AT91 devices, as
AT91 and AVR32 share the same AC97C module.

There exist laptops with Elantech touchpads where switching to absolute mode
does not happen, although writing the configuration register succeeds
without error. Reading back the register afterwards reveils that the
absolute mode bit is not set as if masked out by the touchpad firmware.
Always read back register 0x10, make sure that for hardware version 1 the
absolute mode bit is actually set and fail otherwise. This prevents the case
where the touchpad is claimed by the Elantech driver but is nonetheless not
working.

It seems that Elantech touchpad firmware version 2.34 on the Hercules eCAFÉ
suffers from a problem where bogus coordinates get reported at the beginning
of a touch action. This causes the mouse cursor or the scrolled page to
jump.
Included patch provides a workaround that discards mouse packets that are
likely to contain bogus coordinates. The workaround is activated when we
detect touchpad with fimware version 2.34.
