Add support for SPI over SCI pins. SCI is a very simple serial controller
block that can be found on older SuperH processors. In theory it is
possible to use the SCI hardware block in syncronous mode, but this version
of the driver simply hooks up the bit banging code on the SCI pins.

The two S3C SPI master drivers got merged without much review, so I just
noticed that they're doing something that the SPI core code is responsible
for, rather than any adapter driver: they try to register SPI devices.
This removes that support from those drivers so they act normally.
Interestingly, none of the current boards are affected. So it's a net code
shrink with no loss of functionality.

In atmel_spi_next_xfer, xfer can be NULL because the next transfer may
already have been submitted to the PDC (using DMA chaining). This can
cause an oops, since the debug message assumed it was never null. The
fix changes how those debug messages are issued, ensuring that one is
issued each time a transfer is started instead of once per call.
Also, properly indent the "can this transfer be chained" test so it's
not hidden as if it were non-conditional code.

Add support for chained transfers in the atmel_spi driver, letting the DMA
controller switch to the next buffer pair without CPU intervention. This
reduced I/O latencies by about 2% in one bulk I/O test. It should also help
work around several interrelated errata affecting chipselect 0 on at91rm9200
chips.
Almost all of the changes are in the reworked atmel_spi_next_xfer() function.
That's now called with the driver in one of three states:
1. It isn't transferring anything (in which case the first transfer
of the current message is going to be sent)
2. It has finished transfering a non-chainable transfer (in which
case it will go to the next transfer in the message)
3. It has finished transfering a chained transfer (in which case the
next transfer is already queued)
After that it will queue the next transfer if it can be chained.

Don't insert (undesirable) delays between consecutive words (DLYBCT) or when
activating chipselects (DLYBS).
Removing the between-word delays improves the performance of bulk transfers
(such as mtd_dataflash, m25p80, mmc_spi) significantly. In one test, the
improvement was a factor of more than eight!
(The large DLYBCT value came from the legacy at91 SPI driver, and it's not
clear why it used such a huge value.)

Driver core: convert block from raw kobjects to core devices
This moves the block devices to /sys/class/block. It will create a
flat list of all block devices, with the disks and partitions in one
directory. For compatibility /sys/block is created and contains symlinks
to the disks.
introduced a global disk_type variable in <linux/genhd.h>, causing the
following compile error on Atari:
drivers/block/ataflop.c:93: error: conflicting types for 'disk_type'
include/linux/genhd.h:21: error: previous declaration of 'disk_type' was here
Rename the local disk_type variable in drivers/block/ataflop.c to
atari_disk_type, to avoid the conflict.

Unfortunately this will break any program using the ds18b20 value as it

out there, or some of these bugs will have been fixed by now, such as the
negative C error (see previous patch) that makes me think the ds18b20 is

The kernel has a divide by zero crash when trying to run the system timer
less than 100Hz. The problem is x/(HZ/USER_HZ) and related. Now
x*(USER_HZ/HZ) will be used if HZ<USER_HZ.
I'm running the Linux kernel under qemu and went to run a slower system
timer to take less CPU (and battery) on the host. I found that the kernel
paniced under emulation because of a divide by zero in three places. Here
is the patch. The base git was updated today 01-05-2008. I went for a
20Hz system time by adding config HZ_20 etc to kernel/Kconfig.hz. With
this patch I verified the system timer by looking at /proc/interrupts.

Fix two N_TTY line discipline issues related to resuming a stopped TTY
(typically done with ctrl-S):
1) Fix handling of character that resumes a stopped TTY (with IXANY)
With "stty ixany", the TTY line discipline would lose the first character
after the stop, so typing, for example, "hi^Sthere" resulted in "hihere"
(the 't' would cause the resume after ^S, but it would then be thrown away
rather than processed as an input character). This was inconsistent with
the behavior of other Unix systems.
2) Fix interrupt signal (e.g. ctrl-C) behavior in stopped TTYs
With "stty -ixany" (often the default), interrupt signals were ignored
in a stopped TTY until the TTY was resumed with the start char (typically
ctrl-Q), which was inconsistent with the behavior of other Unix systems.

groups_sort() can be quite long if user loads a large gid table.
This is because GROUP_AT(group_info, some_integer) uses an integer divide.
So having to do XXX thousand divides during one syscall can lead to very
high latencies. (NGROUPS_MAX=65536)
In the past (25 Mar 2006), an analog problem was found in groups_search()

changed some variables to unsigned int.
I believe that a more generic fix is to make sure NGROUPS_PER_BLOCK is

Linux seems to be the only unix-like OS (recently I've verified this on
Solaris, BSD, and Mac OS X) that does *not* behave this way, and I really
miss this as a good visual confirmation of the interrupt of a program in
the console or xterm. I remember this fondly from many Unixs I've used
over the years as well. Bringing this to Linux also seems like a good way
to make it yet more compliant with standard unix-like behavior.

We restarted scan of sb->s_inodes list whenever we had to drop inode_lock
in add_dquot_ref(). This leads to overall quadratic running time and thus
add_dquot_ref() can take several minutes when called on a life filesystem.
We fix the problem by using the fact that inode cannot be removed from
s_inodes list while we hold a reference to it and thus we can safely
restart the scan if we don't drop the reference. Here we use the fact that
inodes freshly added to s_inodes list are already guaranteed to have quotas
properly initialized and the ordering of inodes on s_inodes list does not
change so we cannot skip any inode.

When resolving symbol names from addresses with aliased symbol names,
kallsyms_lookup always returns the first symbol, even if it is a weak
symbol.
This patch changes this by sorting the symbols with the weak symbols last
before feeding them to the kernel. This way the kernel runtime isn't
changed at all, only the kallsyms build system is changed.
Another side effect is that the symbols get sorted by address, too. So,
even if future binutils version have some bug in "nm" that makes it fail to
correctly sort symbols by address, the kernel won't be affected by this.
Mathieu says:
I created a module in LTTng that uses kallsyms to get the symbol
corresponding to a specific system call address. Unfortunately, all the
unimplemented syscalls were all referring to the (same) weak symbol
identifying an unrelated system call rather that sys_ni (or whatever
non-weak symbol would be expected). Kallsyms was dumbly returning the first
symbol that matched.
This patch makes sure kallsyms returns the non-weak symbol when there is
one, which seems to be the expected result.
