cc9429bcb6 ieee1394: rawiso: requeue packet for transmission after skipped cycle
As it seems, some host controllers have issues that can cause them to
skip cycles now and then when using large packets. I suspect that this
is due to DMA not succeeding in time. If the transmit fifo can't contain
more than one packet (big packets), the DMA should provide a new packet
each cycle (125us). I am under the impression that my current PCI
express test system can't guarantee this.

In any case, the patch tries to provide a workaround as follows:
The DMA program descriptors are modified such that when an error occurs,
the DMA engine retries the descriptor the next cycle instead of
stalling. This way no data is lost. The side effect of this is that
packets are sent with one cycle delay. This however might not be that
much of a problem for certain protocols (e.g. AM824). If they use
padding packets for e.g. rate matching they can drop one of those to
resync the streams.

The amount of skips between two userspace wakeups is counted. This
number is then propagated to userspace through the upper 16 bits of the
'dropped' parameter. This allows unmodified userspace applications due
to the following:
1) libraw simply passes this dropped parameter to the user application
2) the meaning of the dropped parameter is: if it's nonzero, something
bad has happened. The actual value of the parameter at this moment does
not have a specific meaning.

A libraw client can then retrieve the number of skipped cycles and
account for them if needed.

It should actually suffice to do this only for the local node's

The local node's speed is not correctly propagated to the speeds

d2ace29fa4 ieee1394: prevent device binding of raw1394, video1394, dv1394
These drivers don't need to match any unit_directory type device.
They just need the id_table for module autoloading per module alias.

Not binding any of these drivers allows special-purpose drivers with
similar or same IDs to bind to devices.  This currently only benefits
out-of-tree drivers; on the other hand it is in no way detrimental to
in-tree drivers.

4e6343a10b ieee1394: sbp2: raise default transfer size limit
This patch speeds up sbp2 a little bit --- but more importantly, it
brings the behavior of sbp2 and fw-sbp2 closer to each other.  Like
fw-sbp2, sbp2 now does not limit the size of single transfers to 255
sectors anymore, unless told so by a blacklist flag or by module load
parameters.

Only very old bridge chips have been known to need the 255 sectors
limit, and we have got one such chip in our hardwired blacklist.  There
certainly is a danger that more bridges need that limit; but I prefer to
have this issue present in both fw-sbp2 and sbp2 rather than just one of
them.

An OXUF922 with 400GB 7200RPM disk on an S400 controller is sped up by
this patch from 22.9 to 23.5 MB/s according to hdparm.  The same effect
could be achieved before by setting a higher max_sectors module
parameter.  On buses which use 1394b beta mode, sbp2 and fw-sbp2 will
now achieve virtually the same bandwidth.  Fw-sbp2 only remains faster
on 1394a buses due to fw-core's gap count optimization.

f212ec4b7b x86: early boot debugging via FireWire (ohci1394_dma=early)
This patch adds a new configuration option, which adds support for a new
early_param which gets checked in arch/x86/kernel/setup_{32,64}.c:setup_arch()
to decide wether OHCI-1394 FireWire controllers should be initialized and
enabled for physical DMA access to allow remote debugging of early problems
like issues ACPI or other subsystems which are executed very early.

If the config option is not enabled, no code is changed, and if the boot
paramenter is not given, no new code is executed, and independent of that,
all new code is freed after boot, so the config option can be even enabled
in standard, non-debug kernels.

With specialized tools, it is then possible to get debugging information
from machines which have no serial ports (notebooks) such as the printk
buffer contents, or any data which can be referenced from global pointers,
if it is stored below the 4GB limit and even memory dumps of of the physical
RAM region below the 4GB limit can be taken without any cooperation from the
CPU of the host, so the machine can be crashed early, it does not matter.

In the extreme, even kernel debuggers can be accessed in this way. I wrote
a small kgdb module and an accompanying gdb stub for FireWire which allows
to gdb to talk to kgdb using remote remory reads and writes over FireWire.

An version of the gdb stub fore FireWire is able to read all global data
from a system which is running a a normal kernel without any kernel debugger,
without any interruption or support of the system's CPU. That way, e.g. the
task struct and so on can be read and even manipulated when the physical DMA
access is granted.

A HOWTO is included in this patch, in Documentation/debugging-via-ohci1394.txt
and I've put a copy online at
ftp://ftp.suse.de/private/bk/firewire/docs/debugging-via-ohci1394.txt

It also has links to all the tools which are available to make use of it

69e2b60296 ieee1394: Fix kthread stopping in nodemgr_host_thread
The nodemgr host thread can exit on its own even when kthread_should_stop
is not true, on receiving a signal (might never happen in practice, as
it ignores signals). But considering kthread_stop() must not be mixed with
kthreads that can exit on their own, I think changing the code like this
is clearer. This change means the thread can cut its sleep short when
receive a signal but looking at the code around, that sounds okay (and
again, it might never actually recieve a signal in practice).

7eff2e7a8b Driver core: change add_uevent_var to use a struct
This changes the uevent buffer functions to use a struct instead of a
long list of parameters. It does no longer require the caller to do the
proper buffer termination and size accounting, which is currently wrong
in some places. It fixes a known bug where parts of the uevent
environment are overwritten because of wrong index calculations.

Many thanks to Mathieu Desnoyers for finding bugs and improving the
error handling.
