* HID: do not try to compile PM code with CONFIG_PM unsetJiri Kosina2009-03-25

* HID: autosuspend support for USB HIDOliver Neukum2009-03-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This uses the USB busy mechanism for aggessive autosuspend of USB HID devices. It autosuspends all opened devices supporting remote wakeup after a timeout unless - output is being done to the device - a key is being held down (remote wakeup isn't triggered upon key release) - LED(s) are lit - hiddev is opened As in the current driver closed devices will be autosuspended even if they don't support remote wakeup. The patch is quite large because output to devices is done in hard interrupt context meaning a lot a queuing and locking had to be touched. The LED stuff has been solved by means of a simple counter. Additions to the generic HID code could be avoided. In addition it now covers hidraw. It contains an embryonic version of an API to let the generic HID code tell the lower levels which capabilities with respect to power management are needed.

* Build with -fno-dwarf2-cfi-asmKyle McMartin2009-03-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With a sufficiently new compiler and binutils, code which wasn't previously generating .eh_frame sections has begun to. Certain architectures (powerpc, in this case) may generate unexpected relocation formats in response to this, preventing modules from loading. While the new relocation types should probably be handled, revert to the previous behaviour with regards to generation of .eh_frame sections.

Also, since we fully construct phy_bus_id in the _probe() routine, we no longer need ->phy_address and ->mdio_bus fields in ucc_geth_info structure. I wish the patch would be a bit shorter, but it seems like the only way to fix the issue in a sane way. Luckily, the patch has been tested with real PHYs and fixed-link, so no further regressions expected.

| * dm9000: locking bugfixDavid Brownell2009-03-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes a locking bug in the dm9000 driver. It calls request_irq() without setting IRQF_DISABLED ... which is correct for handlers that support IRQ sharing, since that behavior is not guaranteed for shared IRQs. However, its IRQ handler then wrongly assumes that IRQs are blocked. So the fix just uses the right spinlock primitives in the IRQ handler. NOTE: this is a classic example of the type of bug which lockdep currently masks by forcibly setting IRQF_DISABLED on IRQ handlers that did not request that flag.

| * smsc911x: reset last known duplex and carrier on openSteve Glendinning2009-03-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | smsc911x_phy_adjust_link is called periodically by the phy layer (as it's run in polling mode), and it only updates the hardware when it sees a change in duplex or carrier. This patch clears the last known values every time the interface is brought up, instead of only when the module is loaded. Without this patch the adjust_link function never updates the hardware after an ifconfig down; ifconfig up. On a full duplex link this causes the tx error counter to increment, even though packets are correctly transmitted, as the default MAC_CR register setting is for half duplex. The tx errors are "no carrier" errors, which should be ignored in full-duplex mode. When MAC_CR is set to "full duplex" mode they are correctly ignored by the hardware. Note that even with this patch the tx error counter can increment if packets are transmitted between "ifconfig up" and the first phy poll interval. An improved solution would use the phy interrupt with phylib, but I haven't managed to make this work 100% robustly yet.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Tulip is currently doing request_irq before it has done its initialization. This is usually not a problem because it hasn't enable interrupts yet, but with DEBUG_SHIRQ on, we call the irq handler when registering the interrupt as a sanity check. This can result in a NULL ptr dereference, so call tulip_init_ring before request_irq, and add a free_ring function to do the freeing now shared with tulip_close.

Most code fills struct resource with zeros, so I assume that it is responsibility of the caller of request_resource to initialized it, not the responsibility of request_resource functuion. After 2.6.29 is out, there could be a check for uninitialized fields added to request_resource to avoid crashes like this. Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Otherwise it might interrupt switch_to() midstream and use half-cooked register window state. Reported-by: Chris Torek <chris.torek@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The openprom module is missing the char-major-10-139 alias that would cause it to be auto-loaded when a device of that type is opened. This patch adds the alias. Signed-off-by: Scott James Remnant <scott@canonical.com> Signed-off-by: Tim Gardner <tim.gardner@canonical.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

The problem is this: - task A is ptracing task B - task B stops on a trace event - task A is woken up and preempts task B - task A calls ptrace on task B, which does ptrace_check_attach() - this calls wait_task_inactive(), which sees that task B is still on the runq - task A goes to sleep for a jiffy - ... Since UML does lots of the above sequences, those jiffies quickly add up to make it slow as hell. This patch solves this by not rescheduling in read_unlock() after ptrace_stop() has woken up the tracer. Thanks to Oleg Nesterov and Ingo Molnar for the feedback.
