* This patch replaces the dangerous lvalue version of cpumask_of_cpu
with new cpumask_of_cpu_ptr macros. These are patterned after the
node_to_cpumask_ptr macros.
In general terms, if there is a cpumask_of_cpu_map[] then a pointer to
the cpumask_of_cpu_map[cpu] entry is used. The cpumask_of_cpu_map
is provided when there is a large NR_CPUS count, reducing
greatly the amount of code generated and stack space used for
cpumask_of_cpu(). The pointer to the cpumask_t value is needed for
calling set_cpus_allowed_ptr() to reduce the amount of stack space
needed to pass the cpumask_t value.
If there isn't a cpumask_of_cpu_map[], then a temporary variable is
declared and filled in with value from cpumask_of_cpu(cpu) as well as
a pointer variable pointing to this temporary variable. Afterwards,
the pointer is used to reference the cpumask value. The compiler
will optimize out the extra dereference through the pointer as well
as the stack space used for the pointer, resulting in identical code.
A good example of the orthogonal usages is in net/sunrpc/svc.c:
case SVC_POOL_PERCPU:
{
unsigned int cpu = m->pool_to[pidx];
cpumask_of_cpu_ptr(cpumask, cpu);
*oldmask = current->cpus_allowed;
set_cpus_allowed_ptr(current, cpumask);
return 1;
}
case SVC_POOL_PERNODE:
{
unsigned int node = m->pool_to[pidx];
node_to_cpumask_ptr(nodecpumask, node);
*oldmask = current->cpus_allowed;
set_cpus_allowed_ptr(current, nodecpumask);
return 1;
}

None of these files use any of the functionality promised by
asm/semaphore.h. It's possible that they rely on it dragging in some
unrelated header file, but I can't build all these files, so we'll have
fix any build failures as they come up.

* Use new set_cpus_allowed_ptr() function added by previous patch,
which instead of passing the "newly allowed cpus" cpumask_t arg
by value, pass it by pointer:
-int set_cpus_allowed(struct task_struct *p, cpumask_t new_mask)
+int set_cpus_allowed_ptr(struct task_struct *p, const cpumask_t *new_mask)
* Modify CPU_MASK_ALL
Depends on:
[sched-devel]: sched: add new set_cpus_allowed_ptr function

DMI autoload dcdbas on all Dell systems.
This looks for BIOS Vendor or System Vendor == Dell, so this should
work for systems both Dell-branded and those Dell builds but brands
for others. It causes udev to load the dcdbas module at startup,
which is used by tools called by HAL for wireless control and
backlight control, among other uses.
Thanks to Kay Sievers for figuring out how to do this with a single alias.

sysfs binary attributes
Well, first of all, I don't want to change so many files either.
What I do:
Adding a new parameter "struct bin_attribute *" in the
.read/.write methods for the sysfs binary attributes.
In fact, only the four lines change in fs/sysfs/bin.c and
include/linux/sysfs.h do the real work.
But I have to update all the files that use binary attributes
to make them compatible with the new .read and .write methods.
I'm not sure if I missed any. :(
Why I do this:
For a sysfs attribute, we can get a pointer pointing to the
struct attribute in the .show/.store method,
while we can't do this for the binary attributes.
I don't know why this is different, but this does make it not
so handy to use the binary attributes as the regular ones.
So I think this patch is reasonable. :)
Who benefits from it:
The patch that exposes ACPI tables in sysfs
requires such an improvement.
All the table binary attributes share the same .read method.
Parameter "struct bin_attribute *" is used to get
the table signature and instance number which are used to
distinguish different ACPI table binary attributes.
Without this parameter, we need to offer different .read methods
for different ACPI table binary attributes.
This is impossible as there are various ACPI tables on different
platforms, and we don't know what they are until they are loaded.

The kernel's implementation of notifier chains is unsafe. There is no
protection against entries being added to or removed from a chain while the
chain is in use. The issues were discussed in this thread:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=113018709002036&w=2
We noticed that notifier chains in the kernel fall into two basic usage
classes:
"Blocking" chains are always called from a process context
and the callout routines are allowed to sleep;
"Atomic" chains can be called from an atomic context and
the callout routines are not allowed to sleep.
We decided to codify this distinction and make it part of the API. Therefore
this set of patches introduces three new, parallel APIs: one for blocking
notifiers, one for atomic notifiers, and one for "raw" notifiers (which is
really just the old API under a new name). New kinds of data structures are
used for the heads of the chains, and new routines are defined for
registration, unregistration, and calling a chain. The three APIs are
explained in include/linux/notifier.h and their implementation is in
kernel/sys.c.
With atomic and blocking chains, the implementation guarantees that the chain
links will not be corrupted and that chain callers will not get messed up by
entries being added or removed. For raw chains the implementation provides no
guarantees at all; users of this API must provide their own protections. (The
idea was that situations may come up where the assumptions of the atomic and
blocking APIs are not appropriate, so it should be possible for users to
handle these things in their own way.)
There are some limitations, which should not be too hard to live with. For
atomic/blocking chains, registration and unregistration must always be done in
a process context since the chain is protected by a mutex/rwsem. Also, a
callout routine for a non-raw chain must not try to register or unregister
entries on its own chain. (This did happen in a couple of places and the code
had to be changed to avoid it.)
Since atomic chains may be called from within an NMI handler, they cannot use
spinlocks for synchronization. Instead we use RCU. The overhead falls almost
entirely in the unregister routine, which is okay since unregistration is much
less frequent that calling a chain.
Here is the list of chains that we adjusted and their classifications. None
of them use the raw API, so for the moment it is only a placeholder.
ATOMIC CHAINS
-------------
arch/i386/kernel/traps.c: i386die_chain

net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_core.c: ip_conntrack_expect_chain

net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c: nf_conntrack_chain
net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c: nf_conntrack_expect_chain
net/netlink/af_netlink.c: netlink_chain
BLOCKING CHAINS
---------------
arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/reconfig.c: pSeries_reconfig_chain
arch/s390/kernel/process.c: idle_chain
arch/x86_64/kernel/process.c idle_notifier
drivers/base/memory.c: memory_chain
drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c cpufreq_policy_notifier_list
drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c cpufreq_transition_notifier_list
drivers/macintosh/adb.c: adb_client_list
drivers/macintosh/via-pmu.c sleep_notifier_list

drivers/macintosh/windfarm_core.c wf_client_list
drivers/usb/core/notify.c usb_notifier_list
drivers/video/fbmem.c fb_notifier_list
kernel/cpu.c cpu_chain
kernel/module.c module_notify_list
kernel/profile.c munmap_notifier
kernel/profile.c task_exit_notifier
kernel/sys.c reboot_notifier_list
net/core/dev.c netdev_chain
net/decnet/dn_dev.c: dnaddr_chain
net/ipv4/devinet.c: inetaddr_chain
It's possible that some of these classifications are wrong. If they are,
please let us know or submit a patch to fix them. Note that any chain that
gets called very frequently should be atomic, because the rwsem read-locking
used for blocking chains is very likely to incur cache misses on SMP systems.
(However, if the chain's callout routines may sleep then the chain cannot be
atomic.)

Do not use platform_device_register_simple() as it is going away, define
dcdbas_driver and implement ->probe() and ->remove() functions so manual
binding and unbinding will work with this driver.
Also switch to using attribute_group when creating sysfs attributes and
make sure to check and handle errors; explicitely remove attributes when
detaching driver.

smi_data_buf_free() references dcdbas_pdev when calling
dma_free_coherent(). In dcdbas_exit(), smi_data_buf_free() is called after
platform_device_unregister(dcdbas_pdev).

smi_data_buf_free() in dcdbas_exit().
