f7511d5f66 Basic braille screen reader support
This adds a minimalistic braille screen reader support.  This is meant to
be used by blind people e.g.  on boot failures or when / cannot be mounted
etc and thus the userland screen readers can not work.

730f412c08 asm-*/futex.h should include linux/uaccess.h
Lots of asm-*/futex.h call pagefault_enable and pagefault_disable, which
are declared in linux/uaccess.h, without including linux/uaccess.h.

They all include asm/uaccess.h, so this patch replaces asm/uaccess.h
with linux/uaccess.h.

86098fa011 reiserfs: use open_bdev_excl
Use the proper helper to open a blockdevice by name for filesystem use,
this makes sure it's properly claimed (also added for open-by-number) and
gets rid of the struct file abuse.

Tested by mounting a reiserfs filesystem with external journal.

fc3ba692a4 mm: Add NR_WRITEBACK_TEMP counter
Fuse will use temporary buffers to write back dirty data from memory mappings
(normal writes are done synchronously).  This is needed, because there cannot
be any guarantee about the time in which a write will complete.

By using temporary buffers, from the MM's point if view the page is written
back immediately.  If the writeout was due to memory pressure, this
effectively migrates data from a full zone to a less full zone.

This patch adds a new counter (NR_WRITEBACK_TEMP) for the number of pages used
as temporary buffers.

Add a new BDI capability flag: BDI_CAP_NO_ACCT_WB.  If this flag is
set, then don't update the per-bdi writeback stats from
test_set_page_writeback() and test_clear_page_writeback().

Misc cleanups:

 - create a flag that includes all three dirty/writeback related flags,

189d3c4a94 mm: bdi: allow setting a minimum for the bdi dirty limit
Under normal circumstances each device is given a part of the total write-back
cache that relates to its current avg writeout speed in relation to the other
devices.

min_ratio - allows one to assign a minimum portion of the write-back cache to
a particular device.  This is useful in situations where you might want to
provide a minimum QoS.  (One request for this feature came from flash based
storage people who wanted to avoid writing out at all costs - they of course
needed some pdflush hacks as well)

max_ratio - allows one to assign a maximum portion of the dirty limit to a
particular device.  This is useful in situations where you want to avoid one
device taking all or most of the write-back cache.  Eg.  an NFS mount that is
prone to get stuck, or a FUSE mount which you don't trust to play fair.

Add "min_ratio" to /sys/class/bdi.  This indicates the minimum percentage of
the global dirty threshold allocated to this bdi.

cf0ca9fe5d mm: bdi: export BDI attributes in sysfs
Provide a place in sysfs (/sys/class/bdi) for the backing_dev_info object.
This allows us to see and set the various BDI specific variables.

In particular this properly exposes the read-ahead window for all relevant
users and /sys/block/<block>/queue/read_ahead_kb should be deprecated.

With patient help from Kay Sievers and Greg KH

[mszeredi@suse.cz]

 - split off NFS and FUSE changes into separate patches
 - document new sysfs attributes under Documentation/ABI
 - do bdi_class_init as a core_initcall, otherwise the "default" BDI
   won't be initialized
 - remove bdi_init_fmt macro, it's not used very much

caafa43243 pidns: make pid->level and pid_ns->level unsigned
These values represent the nesting level of a namespace and pids living in it,
and it's always non-negative.

Turning this from int to unsigned int saves some space in pid.c (11 bytes on
x86 and 64 on ia64) by letting the compiler optimize the pid_nr_ns a bit.
E.g.  on ia64 this removes the sign extension calls, which compiler adds to
optimize access to pid->nubers[ns->level].

24336eaeec pids: introduce change_pid() helper
Based on Eric W. Biederman's idea.

Without tasklist_lock held task_session()/task_pgrp() can return NULL if the
caller races with setprgp()/setsid() which does detach_pid() + attach_pid().
This can happen even if task == current.

Intoduce the new helper, change_pid(), which should be used instead.  This way
the caller always sees the special pid != NULL, either old or new.

Also change the prototype of attach_pid(), it always returns 0 and nobody
check the returned value.

5cd204550b Deprecate find_task_by_pid()
There are some places that are known to operate on tasks'
global pids only:

* the rest_init() call (called on boot)
* the kgdb's getthread
* the create_kthread() (since the kthread is run in init ns)

So use the find_task_by_pid_ns(..., &init_pid_ns) there
and schedule the find_task_by_pid for removal.

f34d7a5b70 tty: The big operations rework
- Operations are now a shared const function block as with most other Linux
  objects

- Introduce wrappers for some optional functions to get consistent behaviour

- Wrap put_char which used to be patched by the tty layer

- Document which functions are needed/optional

- Make put_char report success/fail

- Cache the driver->ops pointer in the tty as tty->ops

- Remove various surplus lock calls we no longer need

- Remove proc_write method as noted by Alexey Dobriyan

- Introduce some missing sanity checks where certain driver/ldisc
  combinations would oops as they didn't check needed methods were present

fae5fa44f1 signals: fix /sbin/init protection from unwanted signals
The global init has a lot of long standing problems with the unhandled fatal
signals.

	- The "is_global_init(current)" check in get_signal_to_deliver()
	  protects only the main thread. Sub-thread can dequee the fatal
	  signal and shutdown the whole thread group except the main thread.
	  If it dequeues SIGSTOP /sbin/init will be stopped, this is not
	  right too. Note that we can't use is_global_init(->group_leader),
	  this breaks exec and this can't solve other problems we have.

	- Even if afterwards ignored, the fatal signals sets SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT
	  on delivery. This breaks exec, has other bad implications, and this
	  is just wrong.

Introduce the new SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE flag to fix these problems.  It also helps
to solve some other problems addressed by the subsequent patches.

Currently we use this flag for the global init only, but it could also be used
by kthreads and (perhaps) by the sub-namespace inits.

In short: currently handle_stop_signal(SIGCONT, p) sends the notification to
p->parent, with this patch p itself notifies its parent when it becomes
running.

handle_stop_signal(SIGCONT) has to drop ->siglock temporary in order to notify
the parent with do_notify_parent_cldstop().  This leads to multiple problems:

	- as Jiri Kosina pointed out, the stopped task can resume without
	  actually seeing SIGCONT which may have a handler.

	- we race with another sig_kernel_stop() signal which may come in
	  that window.

	- we race with sig_fatal() signals which may set SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT
	  in that window.

	- we can't avoid taking tasklist_lock() while sending SIGCONT.

With this patch handle_stop_signal() just sets the new SIGNAL_CLD_CONTINUED
flag in p->signal->flags and returns.  The notification is sent by the first
task which returns from finish_stop() (there should be at least one) or any
other signalled thread from get_signal_to_deliver().

This is a user-visible change.  Say, currently kill(SIGCONT, stopped_child)
can't return without seeing SIGCHLD, with this patch SIGCHLD can be delayed
unpredictably.  Another difference is that if the child is ptraced by another
process, CLD_CONTINUED may be delivered to ->real_parent after ptrace_detach()
while currently it always goes to the tracer which doesn't actually need this
notification.  Hopefully not a problem.

The patch asks for the futher obvious cleanups, I'll send them separately.

6bfe0b4990 md: support blocking writes to an array on device failure
Allows a userspace metadata handler to take action upon detecting a device
failure.

Based on an original patch by Neil Brown.

Changes:
-added blocked_wait waitqueue to rdev
-don't qualify Blocked with Faulty always let userspace block writes
-added md_wait_for_blocked_rdev to wait for the block device to be clear, if
 userspace misses the notification another one is sent every 5 seconds
-set MD_RECOVERY_NEEDED after clearing "blocked"
-kill DoBlock flag, just test mddev->external

84f43c308b pxafb: introduce register independent LCD connection type for pxafb
Reasons:

  1. straight forward: the name "LCD_COLOR_DSTN_16BPP" is much better
     than "LCCR0_Pas | LCCR0_Color | LCCR0_Dual"

  2. by defining LCD connection types as constants, it allows only
     valid possibilities

  3. by removing the dependency of register bits definitions, those
     can be later moved into the body of pxafb.c, instead of having
     a regs-lcd.h around

Currently, only lubbock, mainstone, zylonite and littleton have been
modified to support these types (see coming patches after this).
Other platforms are encouraged to change their way describing the
LCD controller connections.

ce4fb7b892 pxafb: convert fb driver to use ioremap() and __raw_{readl, writel}
This is part of the effort moving peripheral registers outside of pxa-regs.h,
and using ioremap() make it possible the same IP can be re-used on different
processors with different registers space

As a result, the fixed mapping in pxa_map_io() is removed.

The regs-lcd.h can actually moved to where closer to pxafb.c but some of its
bit definitions are directly used by various platform code, though this is not
a good style.

267e4db9ac ext4: Fix race between migration and mmap write
Fail migrate if we allocated new blocks via mmap write.

If we write to holes in the file via mmap, we end up allocating
new blocks. This block allocation happens without taking inode->i_mutex.
Since migrate is protected by i_mutex and migrate expects that no
new blocks get allocated during migrate, fail migrate if new blocks
get allocated.

We can't take inode->i_mutex in the mmap write path because that
would result in a locking order violation between i_mutex and mmap_sem.
Also adding a separate rw_sempahore for protection is really high overhead
for a rare operation such as migrate.

fe086a7bea [IA64] Provide ACPI fixup for /proc/cpuinfo/physical_id
Legacy HP ia64 platforms currently cannot provide
/proc/cpuinfo/physical_id due to legacy SAL/PAL implementations.
However, that physical topology information can be obtained
via ACPI.

Provide an interface that gives ACPI one last chance to provide
physical_id for these legacy platforms. This logic only comes
into play iff:

- ACPI actually provides slot information for the CPU
- we lack a valid socket_id

Otherwise, we don't do anything.

Since x86 uses the ACPI processor driver as well, we provide a nop
stub function for arch_fix_phys_package_id() in asm-x86/topology.h

they're a bit more diffcult to deal with, they'll have their own
