Unlike the other tty comment patch this one has code changes. Specifically
it limits the queue size for a tty to 64K characters (128Kbytes) worst case
even if the tty is ignoring tty->throttle. This is because certain drivers
don't honour the throttle value correctly, although it is a useful
safeguard anyway.

When reading /dev/vcsa while a font with more than 256 characters is
loaded, one of the attribute bits records the 9th bit of the character.
But depending on the console driver (vgacon or fbcon for instance), that's
bit 3 or bit 0. And there is no way for userland to know that, thus no way
for userland to safely grab the screen content. So here is a (tested)
patch:
Add a VT_GETHIFONTMASK ioctl for knowing which bit is the 9th bit for VC
text (vc_hi_font_mask field of the vc_data structure).

While testing Moxa C218T/PCI on PowerPC 405EP I found that loading firmware
using the linux kernel driver fails because calculation of the checksum is
not endianess independent in the original code.
After I fixed this I found that uploading firmware in a system with
multiple cards causes a kernel oops. I had a look in the recent moxa
sources and found that they do some kind of locking there. Applying this
lock fixed the problem.
Alan sayeth:
Checksum changes are clearly correct. Other changes is an improvement but
not I think enough to handle malicious firmware attacks. That said such an
attacker has CAP_SYS_RAWIO anyway so that part is irrelevant except for
neatness.

A set of tty line discipline cleanup patches were introduced before the
dawn of time, in kernel version 2.4.21. This patch performs that cleanup
for the hvsi driver.
The hvsi driver is used only on IBM pSeries PowerPC boxes. The driver was
originally written by Hollis Blanchard, who has delegated maintainership to
me. So this my first and maybe only patch in this official new role,
because this driver is otherwise bug-free :-)
Alan: "Actually its also a bug fix, tty->ldisc should be locked by refcounting
and the helpers do this for you."

this patch is mostly cleanup of scx200_gpio :
- drop #include <linux/config.h>
- s/DEVNAME/DRVNAME/ apparently a convention
- replace variable num_pins with #define MAX_PINS
- s/dev/devid/ to clarify that its a dev_t, not a struct device dev.
- move devid = MKDEV(major,0) into branch where its needed.
2 minor 'changes' :
- reduced MAX_PINS from 64 to 32. Ive never tested other pins, and
theyre all multiplexed with other functions, some of which may be in use
on my soekris 4801, so I dont know what testing should yield.
- +EXPORT_SYMBOL(scx200_access);
This exposes the driver's vtable, which another driver can use along
with #include <linux/nsc_gpio.h>, to manipulate a gpio-pin.

Currently the snsc driver uses force_sig to send init a SIGPWR when the
system overheats. This patch switches it to kill_proc instead which has
the following advantages:
(1) gets rid of one of the last remaining tasklist_lock users
in modular code
(2) simplifies the snsc code significantly
The downside is that an init implementation could in theory block SIGPWR
and it would not get delivered. The sysvinit code used by all major
distributions doesn't do this and blocking this signal in init would be a
rather stupid thing to do.

Fix module-init-func by repairing usage of platform_device_del/put in
module-exit-func. IOW, it imitates Ingo's 'mishaps' patch, which fixed the
module-init-func's undo handling.
Also fixes lack of release_region to undo the earlier registration.
Also starts to 'use a cdev' which was originally intended (its present in
scx200_gpio). Code compiles and runs, exhibits a lesser error than
previously. (re-register-chrdev fails)
Since I had to add "include <linux/cdev.h>", I went ahead and made 2
tweaks that fell into diff-context-window:
- remove include <linux/config.h> everyone's doing it
- copyright updates - current date is 'wrong'

Newer ARMs have a 40 bit physical address space, but mapping physical
memory above 4G needs a special page table format which we (currently?) do
not use for userspace mappings, so what happens instead is that mapping an
address >= 4G will happily discard the upper bits and wrap.
There is a valid_mmap_phys_addr_range() arch hook where we could check for
>= 4G addresses and deny the mapping, but this hook takes an unsigned long
address:
static inline int valid_mmap_phys_addr_range(unsigned long addr, size_t size);
And drivers/char/mem.c:mmap_mem() calls it like this:
static int mmap_mem(struct file * file, struct vm_area_struct * vma)
{
size_t size = vma->vm_end - vma->vm_start;
if (!valid_mmap_phys_addr_range(vma->vm_pgoff << PAGE_SHIFT, size))
So that's not much help either.
This patch makes the hook take a pfn instead of a phys address.

This patch slightly reworks the new irq code to fix a small design error. I
removed the passing of the trigger to the map() calls entirely, it was not a
good idea to have one call do two different things. It also fixes a couple of
corner cases.
Mapping a linux virtual irq to a physical irq now does only that. Setting the
trigger is a different action which has a different call.
The main changes are:
- I no longer call host->ops->map() for an already mapped irq, I just return
the virtual number that was already mapped. It was called before to give an
opportunity to change the trigger, but that was causing issues as that could
happen while the interrupt was in use by a device, and because of the
trigger change, map would potentially muck around with things in a racy way.
That was causing much burden on a given's controller implementation of
map() to get it right. This is much simpler now. map() is only called on
the initial mapping of an irq, meaning that you know that this irq is _not_
being used. You can initialize the hardware if you want (though you don't
have to).
- Controllers that can handle different type of triggers (level/edge/etc...)
now implement the standard irq_chip->set_type() call as defined by the
generic code. That means that you can use the standard set_irq_type() to
configure an irq line manually if you wish or (though I don't like that
interface), pass explicit trigger flags to request_irq() as defined by the
generic kernel interfaces. Also, using those interfaces guarantees that
your controller set_type callback is called with the descriptor lock held,
thus providing locking against activity on the same interrupt (including
mask/unmask/etc...) automatically. A result is that, for example, MPIC's
own map() implementation calls irq_set_type(NONE) to configure the hardware
to the default triggers.
- To allow the above, the irq_map array entry for the new mapped interrupt
is now set before map() callback is called for the controller.
- The irq_create_of_mapping() (also used by irq_of_parse_and_map()) function
for mapping interrupts from the device-tree now also call the separate
set_irq_type(), and only does so if there is a change in the trigger type.
- While I was at it, I changed pci_read_irq_line() (which is the helper I
would expect most archs to use in their pcibios_fixup() to get the PCI
interrupt routing from the device tree) to also handle a fallback when the
DT mapping fails consisting of reading the PCI_INTERRUPT_PIN to know wether
the device has an interrupt at all, and the the PCI_INTERRUPT_LINE to get an
interrupt number from the device. That number is then mapped using the
default controller, and the trigger is set to level low. That default
behaviour works for several platforms that don't have a proper interrupt
tree like Pegasos. If it doesn't work for your platform, then either
provide a proper interrupt tree from the firmware so that fallback isn't
needed, or don't call pci_read_irq_line()
- Add back a bit that got dropped by my main rework patch for properly
clearing pending IPIs on pSeries when using a kexec

Generic lock debugging:
- generalized lock debugging framework. For example, a bug in one lock
subsystem turns off debugging in all lock subsystems.
- got rid of the caller address passing (__IP__/__IP_DECL__/etc.) from
the mutex/rtmutex debugging code: it caused way too much prototype
hackery, and lockdep will give the same information anyway.
- ability to do silent tests
- check lock freeing in vfree too.
- more finegrained debugging options, to allow distributions to
turn off more expensive debugging features.
There's no separate 'held mutexes' list anymore - but there's a 'held locks'
stack within lockdep, which unifies deadlock detection across all lock
classes. (this is independent of the lockdep validation stuff - lockdep first
checks whether we are holding a lock already)
Here are the current debugging options:
CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC=y
which do:
config DEBUG_MUTEXES
bool "Mutex debugging, basic checks"
config DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC

Mark the static struct file_operations in drivers/char as const. Making
them const prevents accidental bugs, and moves them to the .rodata section
so that they no longer do any false sharing; in addition with the proper
debug option they are then protected against corruption..

When a VT is newly allocated, the module reference count of the backend
will be incremented. This should be balanced by a module_put() when this
VT is deallocated.

This adds the new irq remapper core and removes the old one. Because
there are some fundamental conflicts with the old code, like the value
of NO_IRQ which I'm now setting to 0 (as per discussions with Linus),
etc..., this commit also changes the relevant platform and driver code
over to use the new remapper (so as not to cause difficulties later
in bisecting).
This patch removes the old pre-parsing of the open firmware interrupt
tree along with all the bogus assumptions it made to try to renumber
interrupts according to the platform. This is all to be handled by the
new code now.
For the pSeries XICS interrupt controller, a single remapper host is
created for the whole machine regardless of how many interrupt
presentation and source controllers are found, and it's set to match
any device node that isn't a 8259. That works fine on pSeries and
avoids having to deal with some of the complexities of split source
controllers vs. presentation controllers in the pSeries device trees.
The powerpc i8259 PIC driver now always requests the legacy interrupt
range. It also has the feature of being able to match any device node
(including NULL) if passed no device node as an input. That will help
porting over platforms with broken device-trees like Pegasos who don't
have a proper interrupt tree.
