99b28f1b41 driver core: Prevent reference to freed memory on error path
priv is drv->p. So only free drv->p after we've finished using priv.

Found using a static code analysis tool

e6309e7568 Driver-core: Fix bogus 0 error return in device_add()
If device_add() is called with a device which does not have dev->p set
up, then device_private_init() is called. If that succeeds, then the
error variable is set to 0. Now if the dev_name(dev) check further
down fails, then device_add() correctly terminates, but returns 0.
That of course lets the driver progress. If later another driver uses
this half set up device as parent then device_add() of the child
device explodes and renders sysfs completely unusable.

Set the error to -EINVAL if dev_name() check fails.

26579ab70a Driver core: device_attribute parameters can often be const*
Most device_attributes are const, and are begging to be

8e9b936226 Doc/stable rules: add new cherry-pick logic
- it is possible to submit patches for the stable queue without sending
  them directly stable@kernel.org. If the tag (Cc: stable@kernel.org) is
  available in the sign-off area than hpa's script will filter them into
  the stable mailbox once it hits Linus' tree.
- Patches which require others to be applied first can be also specified.

9329d1beae vfs: get_sb_single() - do not pass options twice
Filesystem code usually destroys the option buffer while
parsing it. This leads to errors when the same buffer is
passed twice. In case we fill a new superblock do not call
remount.

This is needed to quite a warning that the debugfs code
causes every boot.

f1f76f865b devtmpfs: Convert dirlock to a mutex
devtmpfs has a rw_lock dirlock which serializes delete_path and
create_path.

This code was obviously never tested with the usual set of debugging
facilities enabled. In the dirlock held sections the code calls:

 - vfs functions which take mutexes
 - kmalloc(, GFP_KERNEL)

In both code pathes the might sleep warning triggers and spams dmesg.

Convert the rw_lock to a mutex. There is no reason why this needs to
be a rwlock.

d2efdf6d6f drm/radeon/kms: add cvt mode if we only have lvds w/h and no edid (v4)
This fixes LVDS on some mac laptops without a panel edid.

v2 - Set proper mode type flags
v3 - Note that this is not neceesarily the exact panel mode,
but an approximation based on the cvt formula.  For these
systems we should ideally read the mode info out of the
registers or add a mode table, but this works and is much
simpler.
v4 - Update comments and debug message.

9842c38e91 kfifo: fix warn_unused_result
Fix the "ignoring return value of '...', declared with attribute
warn_unused_result" compiler warning in several users of the new kfifo
API.

It removes the __must_check attribute from kfifo_in() and
kfifo_in_locked() which must not necessary performed.

Fix the allocation bug in the nozomi driver file, by moving out the
kfifo_alloc from the interrupt handler into the probe function.

Fix the kfifo_out() and kfifo_out_locked() users to handle a unexpected
end of fifo.

rename kfifo_put...  into kfifo_in...  to prevent miss use of old non in
kernel-tree drivers

ditto for kfifo_get...  -> kfifo_out...

Improve the prototypes of kfifo_in and kfifo_out to make the kerneldoc
annotations more readable.

Add mini "howto porting to the new API" in kfifo.h

c1e13f2567 kfifo: move out spinlock
Move the pointer to the spinlock out of struct kfifo.  Most users in
tree do not actually use a spinlock, so the few exceptions now have to
call kfifo_{get,put}_locked, which takes an extra argument to a
spinlock.

4546548789 kfifo: move struct kfifo in place
This is a new generic kernel FIFO implementation.

The current kernel fifo API is not very widely used, because it has to
many constrains.  Only 17 files in the current 2.6.31-rc5 used it.
FIFO's are like list's a very basic thing and a kfifo API which handles
the most use case would save a lot of development time and memory
resources.

I think this are the reasons why kfifo is not in use:

 - The API is to simple, important functions are missing
 - A fifo can be only allocated dynamically
 - There is a requirement of a spinlock whether you need it or not
 - There is no support for data records inside a fifo

So I decided to extend the kfifo in a more generic way without blowing up
the API to much.  The new API has the following benefits:

 - Generic usage: For kernel internal use and/or device driver.
 - Provide an API for the most use case.
 - Slim API: The whole API provides 25 functions.
 - Linux style habit.
 - DECLARE_KFIFO, DEFINE_KFIFO and INIT_KFIFO Macros
 - Direct copy_to_user from the fifo and copy_from_user into the fifo.
 - The kfifo itself is an in place member of the using data structure, this save an
   indirection access and does not waste the kernel allocator.
 - Lockless access: if only one reader and one writer is active on the fifo,
   which is the common use case, no additional locking is necessary.
 - Remove spinlock - give the user the freedom of choice what kind of locking to use if
   one is required.
 - Ability to handle records. Three type of records are supported:
   - Variable length records between 0-255 bytes, with a record size
     field of 1 bytes.
   - Variable length records between 0-65535 bytes, with a record size
     field of 2 bytes.
   - Fixed size records, which no record size field.
 - Preserve memory resource.
 - Performance!
 - Easy to use!

This patch:

Since most users want to have the kfifo as part of another object,
reorganize the code to allow including struct kfifo in another data
structure.  This requires changing the kfifo_alloc and kfifo_init
prototypes so that we pass an existing kfifo pointer into them.  This
patch changes the implementation and all existing users.

83f57a11d8 Revert "time: Remove xtime_cache"
This reverts commit 7bc7d63745, as
requested by John Stultz. Quoting John:

 "Petr Titěra reported an issue where he saw odd atime regressions with
  2.6.33 where there were a full second worth of nanoseconds in the
  nanoseconds field.

  He also reviewed the time code and narrowed down the problem: unhandled
  overflow of the nanosecond field caused by rounding up the
  sub-nanosecond accumulated time.

  Details:

   * At the end of update_wall_time(), we currently round up the
  sub-nanosecond portion of accumulated time when storing it into xtime.
  This was added to avoid time inconsistencies caused when the
  sub-nanosecond portion was truncated when storing into xtime.
  Unfortunately we don't handle the possible second overflow caused by
  that rounding.

   * Previously the xtime_cache code hid this overflow by normalizing the
  xtime value when storing into the xtime_cache.

   * We could try to handle the second overflow after the rounding up, but
  since this affects the timekeeping's internal state, this would further
  complicate the next accumulation cycle, causing small errors in ntp
  steering. As much as I'd like to get rid of it, the xtime_cache code is
  known to work.

   * The correct fix is really to include the sub-nanosecond portion in the
  timekeeping accessor function, so we don't need to round up at during
  accumulation. This would greatly simplify the accumulation code.
  Unfortunately, we can't do this safely until the last three
  non-GENERIC_TIME arches (sparc32, arm, cris) are converted  (those
  patches are in -mm) and we kill off the spots where arches set xtime
  directly. This is all 2.6.34 material, so I think reverting the
  xtime_cache change is the best approach for now.

  Many thanks to Petr for both reporting and finding the issue!"
