b981c59189 ACPI: add a Kconfig option for ACPI procfs interface
Add a kconfig option CONFIG_ACPI_PROCFS to make procfs interface
a configurable attribute of ACPI.

No procfs interface is actually deprecated,
and no sysfs interface is added in this patch.

CONGI_ACPI_PROCFS is used to mark procfs interface as deprecated
once the same function is duplicated in sysfs.

bb0958544f ACPI: use more understandable bus_id for ACPI devices
Some of the ACPI devices use the internal fake hids
which are exposed to userspace as devces' bus_id after sysfs conversion.
To make it more friendly, we convert them to more understandable strings.

For those devices w/o PNPids, we use "device:instance_no" as the bus_id
instead of "PNPIDNON:instance_no".

2786f6e388 ACPI: fix Supermicro X7DB8+ Boot regression
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7695

Originally we converted bind/unbind to use a new pci bridge driver.
The driver will add/remove _PRT, so we can eventually remove
.bind/.unbind methods.

But we found that some of the _ADR-Based devices don't have _PRT,
i.e. they are not managed by the new ACPI PCI bridge driver.
So that .bind method is not called for some _ADR-Based devices,
which leads to a failure.

Now we make ACPI PCI Root Bridge Driver scan and binds all _ADR-Based devices
once the driver is loaded, in the .add method of ACPI PCI Root Bridge driver.

Extra code path for calling .bind/.unbind when _ADR-Based devices
are hot added/removed is also added.

e49bd2dd5a ACPI: use PNPID:instance_no as bus_id of ACPI device
Previously we used the device name in the DSDT, but would
crash upon encountering a duplicate. Also, exposing the
DSDT device name to the user in a patch isn't a good idea,
because it is arbitrary.

After some discussion, we finally decided to use
"PNPID:instance_no" as the bus_id of ACPI devices.

Two attributes for each device are added at the same time,
the full pathname in ACPI namespace and hardware_id if it has.

NOTE:	acpi_bus_id_list is used to keep the information of PNPID
	and instance number of the given PNPID. Loop the
	acpi_bus_id_list to find the instance_no of the	same PNPID
	when register a device. If failed, i.e. we don't have a
	node with this PNPID, allocate one and link it to this list.

NOTE:	Now I don't take the memory free work in charge.
	If necessary, I can add a reference count in
	struct acpi_device_bus_id, and check the reference and
	when unregister a device, i.e. memory is freed when
	the reference count of a given PNPID is 0.

ae8433324b ACPI: Set fake hid for non-PNPID ACPI devices
We do this mainly because:
1.	hid is used to match ACPI devices and drivers.
	.match method which is incompatible to driver model
	can be deleted from acpi_driver.ops then.
2.	As the .uevent method mark ACPI drivers by PNPID,
	fake hid is set to non-PNPID devices so that udev script
	can load the right ACPI driver by looking for
	"HWID = " or "COMPTID = ".

29c7cf9618 [SCTP]: Handle address add/delete events in a more efficient way.
Currently in SCTP, we maintain a local address list by rebuilding the whole
list from the device list whenever we get a address add/delete event.

This patch fixes it by only adding/deleting the address for which we
receive the event.

Also removed the sctp_local_addr_lock() which is no longer needed as we
now use list_for_each_safe() to traverse this list. This fixes the bugs
in sctp_copy_laddrs_xxx() routines where we do copy_to_user() while
holding this lock.

That speeds the things up if some chain is refered to from several places

at that, so if you manage to self-LART that way, you are SOL for a long

29a7f3ada7 DebugFS : file/directory removal fix
Fix file and directory removal in debugfs. Add inotify support for file removal.

The following scenario :
create dir a
create dir a/b

cd a/b (some process goes in cwd a/b)

rmdir a/b
rmdir a

fails due to the fact that "a" appears to be non empty. It is because
the "b" dentry is not deleted from "a" and still in use. The same
problem happens if "b" is a file. d_delete is nice enough to know when
it needs to unhash and free the dentry if nothing else is using it or,
if someone is using it, to remove it from the hash queues and wait for
it to be deleted when it has no users.

The nice side-effect of this fix is that it calls the file removal
notification.

65c333367b DebugFS : more file/directory creation error handling
Correct dentry count to handle creation errors.

This patch puts a dput at the file creation instead of the file removal :
lookup_one_len already returns a dentry with reference count of 1. Then,
the dget() in simple_mknod increments it when the dentry is associated
with a file. In a scenario where simple_create or simple_mkdir returns
an error, this would lead to an unwanted increment of the reference
counter, therefore making file removal impossible.

* We provide pm_suspend() to avoid unresolved symbols in apm.o. We are
unable to truly suspend now, hence the stub.

* Speaker/microphone enabling got removed because it will be placed in the alsa driver.

7806ca89bc [IA64] Move sg_dma_{len,address} from pci.h to scatterlist.h
IA64 is in a tiny minority providing these defines in pci.h.
Almost everyone else has them in scatterlist.h

3c8cd0cce9 [ARM] 3992/1: i.MX/MX1 CPU Frequency scaling support
Support to change MX1 CPU frequency at runtime.
Tested on PiKRON's PiMX1 board and seems to be fully
stable up to 200 MHz end even as low as 8 MHz.

47fd705287 [ARM] Provide a method to alter the control register
i.MX needs to tweak the control register to support CPU frequency
scaling.  Rather than have folk blindly try and change the control
register by writing to it and then wondering why it doesn't work,
provide a method (which is safe for UP only, and therefore only
available for UP) to achieve this.

02828845dd [ARM] 4016/1: prefetch macro is wrong wrt gcc's "delete-null-pointer-checks"
optimization

The gcc manual says:

|`-fdelete-null-pointer-checks'
|     Use global dataflow analysis to identify and eliminate useless
|     checks for null pointers.  The compiler assumes that dereferencing
|     a null pointer would have halted the program.  If a pointer is
|     checked after it has already been dereferenced, it cannot be null.
|     Enabled at levels `-O2', `-O3', `-Os'.

Now the problem can be seen with this test case:

#include <linux/prefetch.h>
extern void bar(char *x);
void foo(char *x)
{
	prefetch(x);
	if (x)
		bar(x);
}

Because the constraint to the inline asm used in the prefetch() macro is
a memory operand, gcc assumes that the asm code does dereference the
pointer and the delete-null-pointer-checks optimization kicks in.
Inspection of generated assembly for the above example shows that bar()
is indeed called unconditionally without any test on the value of x.

Of course in the prefetch case there is no real dereference and it
cannot be assumed that a null pointer would have been caught at that
point. This causes kernel oopses with constructs like
hlist_for_each_entry() where the list's 'next' content is prefetched
before the pointer is tested against NULL, and only when gcc feels like
applying this optimization which doesn't happen all the time with more
complex code.

It appears that the way to prevent delete-null-pointer-checks
optimization to occur in this case is to make prefetch() into a static
inline function instead of a macro. At least this is what is done on
x86_64 where a similar inline asm memory operand is used (I presume they
would have seen the same problem if it didn't work) and resulting code
for the above example confirms that.

An alternative would consist of replacing the memory operand by a
register operand containing the pointer, and use the addressing mode
explicitly in the asm template. But that would be less optimal than an
offsettable memory reference.
