77ab6db0a1 KVM: VMX: Reinject real mode exception
As we execute real mode guests in VM86 mode, exception have to be
reinjected appropriately when the guest triggered them. For this purpose
the patch adopts the real-mode injection pattern used in vmx_inject_irq
to vmx_queue_exception, additionally taking care that the IP is set
correctly for #BP exceptions. Furthermore it extends
handle_rmode_exception to reinject all those exceptions that can be
raised in real mode.

This fixes the execution of himem.exe from FreeDOS and also makes its
debug.com work properly.

Note that guest debugging in real mode is broken now. This has to be
fixed by the scheduled debugging infrastructure rework (will be done
once base patches for QEMU have been accepted).

35920a3569 KVM: VMX: Fix pending exception processing
The vmx code assumes that IDT-Vectoring can only be set when an exception
is injected due to the exception in question.  That's not true, however:
if the exception is injected correctly, and later another exception occurs
but its delivery is blocked due to a fault, then we will incorrectly assume
the first exception was not delivered.

Fix by unconditionally dequeuing the pending exception, and requeuing it
(or the second exception) if we see it in the IDT-Vectoring field.

72f22b1eb6 rtc-cmos: look for PNP RTC first, then for platform RTC
We shouldn't rely on "pnp_platform_devices" to tell us whether there
is a PNP RTC device.

I introduced "pnp_platform_devices", but I think it was a mistake.
All it tells us is whether we found any PNPBIOS or PNPACPI devices.
Many machines have some PNP devices, but do not describe the RTC
via PNP.  On those machines, we need to do the platform driver probe
to find the RTC.

We should just register the PNP driver and see whether it claims anything.
If we don't find a PNP RTC, fall back to the platform driver probe.

This (in conjunction with the arch/x86/kernel/rtc.c patch to add
a platform RTC device when PNP doesn't have one) should resolve
these issues:

758a7f7bb8 x86: register a platform RTC device if PNP doesn't describe it
Most if not all x86 platforms have an RTC device, but sometimes the RTC
is not exposed as a PNP0b00/PNP0b01/PNP0b02 device in PNPBIOS or ACPI:

    http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11580
    https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=451188

It's best if we can discover the RTC via PNP because then we know
which flavor of device it is, where it lives, and which IRQ it uses.

But if we can't, we should register a platform device using the
compiled-in RTC_PORT/RTC_IRQ resource assumptions.

Once kernel configuration has CONFIG_HID turned on, let also all the
specialized drivers for quirky devices to be built (unless CONFIG_EMBEDDED is

probably want to have support for all the quirky devices as well.

f129ea6d1e HID: fix a lockup regression when using force feedback on a PID device
Commit 8006479c9b introduced a spinlock in
input_dev->event_lock, which is locked when handling input events.
However, the hid-pidff driver sleeps when handling events as it waits for
reports being sent to the device before changing the report contents
again.
This causes a system lockup when trying to use force feedback with a PID
device, a regression introduced in 2.6.24 and 2.6.23.15.

Fix it by extracting the raw report data from struct hid_report
immediately when hid_submit_report() is called, therefore allowing
drivers to change the contents of struct hid_report immediately without
affecting the already-queued transfer.

In hid-pidff, re-add the removed usbhid_wait_io() to
pidff_erase_effect() instead, to prevent a full report queue from causing
the submission to fail, thus not freeing up device memory.
pidff_erase_effect() is not called while dev->event_lock is held.

66ebf66e49 HID: add support for Super Dual Box Pro USB PS2/PS2 adapter
This seems to be the very same device, as already supported Smartjoy
dual Plus, but with slightly different vendor ID. Let's support this
one too.

c0bd6a4298 HID: remove ignore quirk for MGE UPS devices
This patch reverts the change made four years ago here:
http://www.vg.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/gregkh/usb/2.4/usb-hid-2.4.25-pre7.patch

UPS's made by MGE can be used with usbhid just fine, and by removing the
ignore quirk allows them to be used with HAL so they just work when plugged
in, without needing to be manually configured.

With the ignore quirk in place a user would have to configure NUT before the
UPS could be used, as NUT uses it's own internal USB matching framework
to match against the USB devices, do low level control messages on the
device and then parse the HID tables all in userspace.

This is not needed, as allowing the device to be claimed as a usbhid device
allows it to be used like any other USB UPS device. The devices correctly
advertise the power device page which can be queried for the device state.

I assume the quirk was changed so that people using < libusb 0.1.8 could
still use NUT's internal HID code to manage the UPS.
libusb 0.1.8 was released quite some time ago: 2004-02-11.

This patch does not break NUT as in drivers/libusb.c the device is force
unbound from the kernel driver using usb_detach_kernel_driver_np () where
it can be controlled like normal.

0f37cd0306 HID: introduce list for hiddev creation forcing
Introduce a list of devices for which there is need to
force a creation of the hiddev interface, but still they
are operated by generic driver (i.e. certain UPS).
