8b1b33786b checkpatch: fix continuation detection when handling spacing on operators
We are miscategorising a continuation fragment following an operator
which may lead to us thinking that there is a space after it when there is
not.  Fix this up.

080ba92965 checkpatch: try to catch missing VMLINUX_SYMBOL() in vmlinux.lds.h
Seems like every other release we have someone who updates vmlinux.lds.h
and adds C-visible symbols without VMLINUX_SYMBOL() around them.  So start
checking the file and reject assignments which have plain symbols on
either side.

1e85572697 checkpatch: Add warning for p0-patches
Some people work internally with -p0-patches which has the danger that one
forgets to convert them to -p1 before mainlining.  Bitten myself and seen
p0-patches in mailing lists occasionally, this patch adds a warning to
checkpatch.pl in case a patch is -p0.  If you really want, you can fool
this check to generate false positives, this is why it just spits a
warning.  Making the check 100% proof is trickier than it looks, so let's
start with a version which catches the cases of real use.

fae17daed7 checkpatch: comment ends inside strings is most likely not an open comment
When we are detecting whether a comment is open when we start a hunk we
check for the first comment edge in the hunk and assume its inverse.
However if the hunk contains something like below, then we will assume
that a comment was open.  Update this heuristic to see if the comment edge
is obviously within double quotes and ignore it if so:

	foo(" */);

ba84be2338 remove linux/hardirq.h from asm-generic/local.h
While looking at reducing the amount of architecture namespace pollution
in the generic kernel, I found that asm/irq.h is included in the vast
majority of compilations on ARM (around 650 files.)

Since asm/irq.h includes a sub-architecture include file on ARM, this
causes a negative impact on the ccache's ability to re-use the build
results from other sub-architectures, so we have a desire to reduce the
dependencies on asm/irq.h.

It turns out that a major cause of this is the needless include of
linux/hardirq.h into asm-generic/local.h.  The patch below removes this
include, resulting in some 250 to 300 files (around half) of the kernel
then omitting asm/irq.h.

My test builds still succeed, provided two ARM files are fixed
(arch/arm/kernel/traps.c and arch/arm/mm/fault.c) - so there may be
negative impacts for this on other architectures.

Note that x86 does not include asm/irq.h nor linux/hardirq.h in its
asm/local.h, so this patch can be viewed as bringing the generic version
into line with the x86 version.

179f7ebff6 percpu_counter: FBC_BATCH should be a variable
For NR_CPUS >= 16 values, FBC_BATCH is 2*NR_CPUS

Considering more and more distros are using high NR_CPUS values, it makes
sense to use a more sensible value for FBC_BATCH, and get rid of NR_CPUS.

A sensible value is 2*num_online_cpus(), with a minimum value of 32 (This
minimum value helps branch prediction in __percpu_counter_add())

We already have a hotcpu notifier, so we can adjust FBC_BATCH dynamically.

We rename FBC_BATCH to percpu_counter_batch since its not a constant
anymore.

e3d5a27d58 Allow times and time system calls to return small negative values
At the moment, the times() system call will appear to fail for a period
shortly after boot, while the value it want to return is between -4095 and
-1.  The same thing will also happen for the time() system call on 32-bit
platforms some time in 2106 or so.

On some platforms, such as x86, this is unavoidable because of the system
call ABI, but other platforms such as powerpc have a separate error
indication from the return value, so system calls can in fact return small
negative values without indicating an error.  On those platforms,
force_successful_syscall_return() provides a way to indicate that the
system call return value should not be treated as an error even if it is
in the range which would normally be taken as a negative error number.

This adds a force_successful_syscall_return() call to the time() and
times() system calls plus their 32-bit compat versions, so that they don't
erroneously indicate an error on those platforms whose system call ABI has
a separate error indication.  This will not affect anything on other
platforms.

Joakim Tjernlund added the fix for time() and the compat versions of
time() and times(), after I did the fix for times().

5f820f648c poll: allow f_op->poll to sleep
f_op->poll is the only vfs operation which is not allowed to sleep.  It's
because poll and select implementation used task state to synchronize
against wake ups, which doesn't have to be the case anymore as wait/wake
interface can now use custom wake up functions.  The non-sleep restriction
can be a bit tricky because ->poll is not called from an atomic context
and the result of accidentally sleeping in ->poll only shows up as
temporary busy looping when the timing is right or rather wrong.

This patch converts poll/select to use custom wake up function and use
separate triggered variable to synchronize against wake up events.  The
only added overhead is an extra function call during wake up and
negligible.

This patch removes the one non-sleep exception from vfs locking rules and
is beneficial to userland filesystem implementations like FUSE, 9p or
peculiar fs like spufs as it's very difficult for those to implement
non-sleeping poll method.

While at it, make the following cosmetic changes to make poll.h and
select.c checkpatch friendly.

* s/type * symbol/type *symbol/		   : three places in poll.h
* remove blank line before EXPORT_SYMBOL() : two places in select.c

Oleg: spotted missing barrier in poll_schedule_timeout()
Davide: spotted missing write barrier in pollwake()

 c055c11d:	74 05                	je     c055c124 <agp_allocate_memory_wrap+0x28>
 		prev->prev = temp;
 c055c11f:	89 50 04             	mov    %edx,0x4(%eax)
 		temp->next = prev;
 c055c122:	89 02                	mov    %eax,(%edx)
 	}
 	agp_fe.current_controller->pool = temp;
 c055c124:	a1 ec dc 8f c0       	mov    0xc08fdcec,%eax
 c055c129:	89 50 10             	mov    %edx,0x10(%eax)
 	if (memory == NULL)
 		return NULL;

 	agp_insert_into_pool(memory);

so in this case, we faulted while dereferencing agp_fe.current_controller
pointer, and we get to see exactly which function and line it affects...
Personally I find this very useful, and I can see value for having this
script in the kernel for more-than-just-me to use.

Caveats:
* It only works for oopses not-in-modules
* It only works nicely for kernels compiled with CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO
* It's not very fast.
* It only works on x86

ff083c8372 autodetect_raid: add missing __init marking
The function autodetect_raid is only used by __init functions, and it refers
to __initdata, so it needs __init markings.  Fixes this error:
The function autodetect_raid() references
the variable __initdata raid_noautodetect.
This is often because autodetect_raid lacks a __initdata
annotation or the annotation of raid_noautodetect is wrong.

bca1033b09 do_mounts: add device info to mount message
In the past, I used the root=...  command line parameter to specify the
root filesystem to the kernel.  Now it seems that specifying it is not
necessary.  The kernel detects the root filesystem even if the kernel
command line is empty.  My root fs is on a raid1 device by the way, and I
am not using initrd for the boot process.

If the kernel detects the root filesystem somehow, I think it should print
out the result of this detection, otherwise I will not know which device
has the root filesystem.  Or is there an easy way to get this information
on a running system?  I had a quick look at the /proc and /sys
filesystems, but haven't found anything useful there.

b61312d353 oops handling: ensure that any oops is flushed to the mtdoops console
This used to work unpatched with older kernels, during the development
phase of mtdoops.  Before commit e3e8a75d2a
a space was printed with console_loglevel set to 15, which probably
flushed the oops message as a side effect.

This is another patch from the Nokia N810 kernel.

f41ced8f10 Check fops_get() return value
Several subsystem open handlers dereference the fops_get() return value
without checking it for nullness.  This opens a race condition between the
open handler and module unloading.

A module can be marked as being unloaded (MODULE_STATE_GOING) before its
exit function is called and gets the chance to unregister the driver.
During that window open handlers can still be called, and fops_get() will
fail in try_module_get() and return a NULL pointer.

This change checks the fops_get() return value and returns -ENODEV if NULL.
