This patch turns a user mode driver error into a hard error, and updates
the relevant diagnostic slightly to help troubleshooting. gphoto was
known to have this problem, hopefully it is now fixed (they have had
plenty of warning...)
This had been left as a soft error to give various user mode drivers a
change to be properly fixed, with the statement that starting in about
2.6.10 it would be changed. It had been mostly safe as a soft error ...
but that can not be guaranteed. Now that a year has passed, it's time to
really insist that the user mode drivers finally fix their relevant bugs.

1. Establish a simple API for process freezing defined in linux/include/sched.h:
frozen(process) Check for frozen process
freezing(process) Check if a process is being frozen
freeze(process) Tell a process to freeze (go to refrigerator)
thaw_process(process) Restart process
frozen_process(process) Process is frozen now
2. Remove all references to PF_FREEZE and PF_FROZEN from all
kernel sources except sched.h
3. Fix numerous locations where try_to_freeze is manually done by a driver
4. Remove the argument that is no longer necessary from two function calls.
5. Some whitespace cleanup
6. Clear potential race in refrigerator (provides an open window of PF_FREEZE
cleared before setting PF_FROZEN, recalc_sigpending does not check
PF_FROZEN).
This patch does not address the problem of freeze_processes() violating the rule
that a task may only modify its own flags by setting PF_FREEZE. This is not clean
in an SMP environment. freeze(process) is therefore not SMP safe!

Various filesystem drivers have grown a get_dentry() function that's a
duplicate of lookup_one_len, except that it doesn't take a maximum length
argument and doesn't check for \0 or / in the passed in filename.
Switch all these places to use lookup_one_len.

This patch fixes usb_driver_release_interface() to make it avoid calling
device_release_driver() recursively, i.e., when invoked from within the
disconnect routine for the same device. The patch applies to your
"driver" tree.

The original code looks like this:
/* if interface was already added, bind now; else let
* the future device_add() bind it, bypassing probe()
*/
if (!list_empty (&dev->bus_list))
device_bind_driver(dev);
IOW, it's checking to see if the device is attached to the bus or not
and binding the driver if it is. It's checking the device's bus list,
which will only appear empty when the device has been initialized, but
not added. It depends way too much on the driver model internals, but it
seems to be the only way to do the weird crap they want to do with
interfaces.
When I converted it to use klists, I accidentally inverted the logic,
which led to bad things happening. This patch returns the check to its
orginal value.

In response to complaints about excessive latency in the uhci-hcd driver
I'm planning to convert it to a top-half/bottom-half design. It turns out
that to do this, the USB API has to be modified slightly since the driver
will not be able to meet one of the guarantees in the current API. This
patch changes some kerneldoc, specifying the weaker guarantee.

I am sorry that the last patch about 32 bit compat ioctl on
64 bit kernel actually breaks the usbdevfs. That is on the current
BK tree. I am retarded.
Here is the patch to fix it. Tested with USB hard disk and webcam
in both 32bit compatible mode and native 64bit mode.
Again, sorry about that.

This reverts a recent change to usb_set_interface(). The change worked
around a quirk in certain devices, but doing this in usbcore creates
needless regressions for other devices. More appropriate fixes won't
put such handling in usbcore.
Basically it's tricky to do a full software reset of USB device state, since
the devices don't all act the same. This adds a note to the kerneldoc for
the usb_reset_configuration() call to highlight the quirk this was working
around: endpoint data toggles not being reset.

This patch includes minor "sparse -Wbitwise" updates for the PCI based
HCDs. Almost all of them involve just changing the second parameter of the
suspend() method to a pm_message_t ... the others relate to how the EHCI
code walks in-memory data structures. (There's a minor bug fixed there too
... affecting the big-endian sysfs async schedule dump.)

This is the first of a few installments of PM API updates to match the
recent switch to "pm_message_t". This installment primarily affects
USB device drivers (for USB interfaces), and it changes the handful of
drivers which currently implement suspend methods:
- <linux/usb.h> and usbcore, signature change
- Some drivers only changed the signature, net effect this just
shuts up "sparse -Wbitwise":
* hid-core
* stir4200
- Two network drivers did that, and also grew slightly more
featureful suspend code ... they now properly shut down
their activities. (As should stir4200...)
* pegasus
* usbnet
Note that the Wake-On-Lan (WOL) support in pegasus doesn't yet work; looks
to me like it's missing a request to turn it on, vs just configuring it.
The ASIX code in usbnet also has WOL hooks that are ready to use; untested.

This has a variety of updates to the shared suspend/resume code for
PCI based USB host controllers.
- Cope with pm_message_t replacing the target system state.
This is actually a loss of functionality; PCI D1 and D2
states will no longer be used, and it's no longer knowable
that D3cold is on the way so power will be lost.
- Most importantly, some of the resume paths are reworked and
cleaned up. They're now an exact mirror of suspend paths,
and more care is taken to ensure the hardware is reactivated
before the hardware re-enables interrupts.
Plus comment and diagnostic cleanups; there are some nasty cases here
especially combined with swsusp, now they're somewhat commented.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
