fb31690fba [ARM] Ensure machine information structures aren't optimised away
Since the machine information structures are now static, the
compiler might optimise them away.  Mark them with
__attribute_used__ to prevent this occuring.

1461b4ea2b [PATCH] ppc32: ppc_sys fixes for 8xx and 82xx
This patch fixes a numbers of issues regarding to that both 8xx and 82xx
began to use ppc_sys model:
	- Platform is now identified by default deviceless SOC, if no
BOARD_CHIP_NAME is specified in the bard-specific header. For the list
of supported names refer to (arch/ppc/syslib/) mpc8xx_sys.c and
mpc82xx_sys.c for 8xx and 82xx respectively.
	- Fixed a bug in identification by name - if the name was not found,
it returned -1 instead of default deviceless ppc_spec.
	- fixed devices amount in the 8xx platform system descriptions

8b150478ae [PATCH] ppc: make phys_mem_access_prot() work with pfns instead of addresses
Change the phys_mem_access_prot() function to take a pfn instead of an
address.  This allows mmap64() to work on /dev/mem for addresses above 4G
on 32-bit architectures.  We start with a pfn in mmap_mem(), so there's no
need to convert to an address; in fact, it's actively bad, since the
conversion can overflow when the address is above 4G.

Similarly fix the ppc32 page_is_ram() function to avoid a conversion to an
address by directly comparing to max_pfn.  Working with max_pfn instead of
high_memory fixes page_is_ram() to give the right answer for highmem pages.

19a7b4aebf [SCSI] update fc_transport for removal of block/unblock functions
We recently went back to implement a board reset. When we perform the
reset, we wanted to tear down the internal data structures and rebuild
them. Unfortunately, when it came to the rport structure, things were
odd. If we deleted them, the scsi targets and sdevs would be
torn down. Not a good thing for a temporary reset. We could block the
rports, but we either maintain the internal structures to keep the
rport reference (perhaps even replicating what's in the transport),
or we have to fatten the fc transport with new search routines to find
the rport (and deal with a case of a dangling rport that the driver
forgets).

It dawned on me that we had actually reached this state incorrectly.
When the fc transport first started, we did the block/unblock first, then
added the rport interface. The purpose of block/unblock is to hide the
temporary disappearance of the rport (e.g. being deleted, then readded).
Why are we making the driver do the block/unblock ? We should be making
the transport have only an rport add/delete, and the let the transport
handle the block/unblock.

So... This patch removes the existing fc_remote_port_block/unblock
functions. It moves the block/unblock functionality into the
fc_remote_port_add/delete functions.  Updates for the lpfc driver are
included. Qlogic driver updates are also enclosed, thanks to the
contributions of Andrew Vasquez. [Note: the qla2xxx changes are
relative to the scsi-misc-2.6 tree as of this morning - which does
not include the recent patches sent by Andrew]. The zfcp driver does
not use the block/unblock functions.

One last comment: The resulting behavior feels very clean. The LLDD is
concerned only with add/delete, which corresponds to the physical
disappearance.  However, the fact that the scsi target and sdevs are
not immediately torn down after the LLDD calls delete causes an
interesting scenario... the midlayer can call the xxx_slave_alloc and
xxx_queuecommand functions with a sdev that is at the location the
rport used to be. The driver must validate the device exists when it
first enters these functions. In thinking about it, this has always
been the case for the LLDD and these routines. The existing drivers
already check for existence. However, this highlights that simple
validation via data structure dereferencing needs to be watched.
To deal with this, a new transport function, fc_remote_port_chkready()
was created that LLDDs should call when they first enter these two
routines. It validates the rport state, and returns a scsi result
which could be returned. In addition to solving the above, it also
creates consistent behavior from the LLDD's when the block and deletes
are occuring.

be69e5b190 [PATCH] usbcore: Improve endpoint sysfs file handling
This revised patch (as587b) improves the implementation of USB endpoint
sysfs files.  Instead of storing a whole bunch of attributes for every
single endpoint, each endpoint now gets its own kobject and they can
share a static list of attributes.  The number of extra fields added to
struct usb_host_endpoint has been reduced from 4 to 1.

The bEndpointAddress field is retained even though it is redundant (it
repeats the same information as the attributes' directory name).  The
code avoids calling kobject_register, to prevent generating unwanted
hotplug events.

main(int argc,char*argv[])

   struct usbdevfs_ioctl command = {0};
   command.ifno = 0;
   command.ioctl_code = USBDEVFS_HUB_PORTINFO;
   command.data = (void*)&hubPortInfo;
   int fd, ret;
   if(argc != 2) {
     fprintf(stderr,"Usage: %s /proc/bus/usb/<BusNo>/<HubID>\n",argv[0]);
     fprintf(stderr,"Example: %s /proc/bus/usb/001/001\n",argv[0]);
     exit(1);
   }
   errno = 0;
   fd = open(argv[1],O_RDWR);
   if(fd < 0) {
     perror("open failed:");
     exit(errno);
   }
   errno = 0;
   ret = ioctl(fd,USBDEVFS_IOCTL,&command);
   printf("IOCTL return status:%d\n",ret);
   if(ret<0) {

       close(fd);

When a USB device is put into suspend mode, the current drawn from VBUS
has to be less than 500 uA. Some transceivers need to be put into a
special power-saving mode to accomplish this, and won't have a separate
OTG driver handling that.

This adds a suspend method to the "otg_transceiver" struct -- misnamed,
it's not only for OTG -- and calls it from the OMAP UDC driver.

390a8c345e [PATCH] remove usb_suspend_device() parameter
This patch removes the extra usb_suspend_device() parameter.  The original
reason to pass that parameter was so that this routine could suspend any
active children.  A previous patch removed that functionality ... leaving
no reason to pass the parameter.  A close analogy is pci_set_power_state,
which doesn't need a pm_message_t either.

On the internal code path that comes through the driver model, the parameter
is now used to distinguish cases where USB devices need to "freeze" but not
suspend.   It also checks for an error case that's accessible through sysfs:
attempting to suspend a device before its interfaces (or for hubs, ports).

e04b0ea2e0 [PATCH] PCI: Block config access during BIST
Some PCI adapters (eg.  ipr scsi adapters) have an exposure today in that they
issue BIST to the adapter to reset the card.  If, during the time it takes to
complete BIST, userspace attempts to access PCI config space, the host bus
bridge will master abort the access since the ipr adapter does not respond on
the PCI bus for a brief period of time when running BIST.  On PPC64 hardware,
this master abort results in the host PCI bridge isolating that PCI device
from the rest of the system, making the device unusable until Linux is
rebooted.  This patch is an attempt to close that exposure by introducing some
blocking code in the PCI code.  When blocked, writes will be humored and reads
will return the cached value.  Ben Herrenschmidt has also mentioned that he
plans to use this in PPC power management.

585b3160f8 [PATCH] i2c: SMBus PEC support rewrite, 3 of 3
The new SMBus PEC implementation doesn't support PEC emulation on
non-PEC non-I2C SMBus masters, so we can drop all related code.

421ef47be2 [PATCH] i2c: SMBus PEC support rewrite, 2 of 3
This is my rewrite of the SMBus PEC support. The original
implementation was known to have bugs (credits go to Hideki Iwamoto
for reporting many of them recently), and was incomplete due to a
conceptual limitation.

The rewrite affects only software PEC. Hardware PEC needs very little
code and is mostly untouched.

Technically, both implementations differ in that the original one
was emulating PEC in software by modifying the contents of an
i2c_smbus_data union (changing the transaction to a different type),
while the new one works one level lower, on i2c_msg structures (working
on message contents). Due to the definition of the i2c_smbus_data union,
not all SMBus transactions could be handled (at least not without
changing the definition of this union, which would break user-space
compatibility), and those which could had to be implemented
individually. At the opposite, adding PEC to an i2c_msg structure
can be done on any SMBus transaction with common code.

Advantages of the new implementation:

* It's about twice as small (from ~136 lines before to ~70 now, only
  counting i2c-core, including blank and comment lines). The memory
  used by i2c-core is down by ~640 bytes (~3.5%).

* Easier to validate, less tricky code. The code being common to all
  transactions by design, the risk that a bug can stay uncovered is
  lower.

* All SMBus transactions have PEC support in I2C emulation mode
  (providing the non-PEC transaction is also implemented). Transactions
  which have no emulation code right now will get PEC support for free
  when they finally get implemented.

* Allows for code simplifications in header files and bus drivers
  (patch follows).

Drawbacks (I guess there had to be at least one):

* PEC emulation for non-PEC capable non-I2C SMBus masters was dropped.
  It was based on SMBus tricks and doesn't quite fit in the new design.
  I don't think it's really a problem, as the benefit was certainly
  not worth the additional complexity, but it's only fair that I at
  least mention it.

Lastly, let's note that the new implementation does slightly affect
compatibility (both in kernel and user-space), but doesn't actually
break it. Some defines will be dropped, but the code can always be
changed in a way that will work with both the old and the new
implementations. It shouldn't be a problem as there doesn't seem to be
many users of SMBus PEC to date anyway.
