HID: add quirk entry for no-name keyboard (0x13ba/0x0017)
This patch (as1157) adds a no-name PS/2-to-USB keyboard+mouse adapter
to the hid-dell driver. (The device shows up with a Product string
saying "Generic USB K/B", nothing more.) This will force an initial
"Set-LEDs" report to be sent to the device, without which it won't
send any keystroke information. Several bug reports mentioning this
device have been filed in various forums; the patch should resolve
them.
This is just a temporary stop-gap for 2.6.28. A later patch for
2.6.29 will introduce a more generic mechanism for "Set-LEDs", making
this change (and the entire hid-dell driver) unnecessary.

Driver core: fix 'dynamic_debug' cmd line parameter
In testing 2.6.28-rc1, I found that passing 'dynamic_printk' on the command
line didn't activate the debug code. The problem is that dynamic_printk_setup()
(which activates the debugging) is being called before dynamic_printk_init() is
called (which initializes infrastructure). Fix this by setting setting the
state to 'DYNAMIC_ENABLED_ALL' in dynamic_printk_setup(), which will also
cause all subsequent modules to have debugging automatically started, which is
probably the behavior we want.

USB: prevent autosuspend during hub initialization
This patch (as1153) fixes a potential problem in hub initialization.
Starting in 2.6.28, initialization was split into several tasks to
help speed up booting. This opens the possibility that the hub may be
autosuspended before all the initialization tasks can complete.
Normally that wouldn't matter, but with incomplete initialization
there is a risk that the hub would never autoresume -- especially if
devices were plugged into the hub beforehand. The solution is a
simple one-line change to suppress autosuspend until the
initialization is finished.

USB: fix crash when URBs are unlinked after the device is gone
This patch (as1151) protects usbcore against drivers that try to
unlink an URB after the URB's device or bus have been removed. The
core does not currently check for this, and certain drivers can cause
a crash if they are running while an HCD is unloaded.
Certainly it would be best to fix the guilty drivers. But a little
defensive programming doesn't hurt, especially since it appears that
quite a few drivers need to be fixed.
The patch prevents the problem by grabbing a reference to the device
while an unlink is in progress and using a new spinlock to synchronize
unlinks with device removal. (There's no need to acquire a reference
to the bus as well, since the device structure itself keeps a
reference to the bus.) In addition, the kerneldoc is updated to
indicate that URBs should not be unlinked after the disconnect method
returns.

[CIFS] Reduce number of socket retries in large write path
CIFS in some heavy stress conditions cifs could get EAGAIN
repeatedly in smb_send2 which led to repeated retries and eventually
failure of large writes which could lead to data corruption.
There are three changes that were suggested by various network
developers:
1) convert cifs from non-blocking to blocking tcp sendmsg
(we left in the retry on failure)
2) change cifs to not set sendbuf and rcvbuf size for the socket
(let tcp autotune the buffer sizes since that works much better
in the TCP stack now)
3) if we have a partial frame sent in smb_send2, mark the tcp
session as invalid (close the socket and reconnect) so we do
not corrupt the remaining part of the SMB with the beginning
of the next SMB.
This does not appear to hurt performance measurably and has
been run in various scenarios, but it definately removes
a corruption that we were seeing in some high stress

x86, gart: fix gart detection for Fam11h CPUs
Impact: fix AMD Family 11h boot hangs / USB device problems
The AMD Fam11h CPUs have a K8 northbridge. This northbridge is different
from other family's because it lacks GART support (as I just learned).
But the kernel implicitly expects a GART if it finds an AMD northbridge.
Fix this by removing the Fam11h northbridge id from the scan list of K8
northbridges. This patch also changes the message in the GART driver
about missing K8 northbridges to tell that the GART is missing which is
the correct information in this case.

x86, kdump: fix invalid access on i386 sparsemem
Impact: fix kdump crash on 32-bit sparsemem kernels
Since linux-2.6.27, kdump has failed on i386 sparsemem kernel.
1st-kernel gets a panic just before switching to 2nd-kernel.
The cause is that a kernel accesses invalid mem_section by
page_to_pfn(image->swap_page) at machine_kexec().
image->swap_page is allocated if kexec for hibernation, but
it is not allocated if kdump. So if kdump, a kernel should
not access the mem_section corresponding to image->swap_page.

doc/x86: fix doc subdirs
The Documentation/i386 and Documentation/x86_64 directories and their
contents have been moved into Documentation/x86. Fix references to
those files accordingly.

ftrace: fix current_tracer error return
The commit (in linux-tip) c2931e05ec5965597cbfb79ad332d4a29aeceb23
( ftrace: return an error when setting a nonexistent tracer )
added useful code that would error when a bad tracer was written into
the current_tracer file.
But this had a bug if the amount written was more than the amount read by
that code. The first iteration would set the tracer correctly, but since
it did not consume the rest of what was written (usually whitespace), the
userspace utility would continue to write what was not consumed. This
second iteration would fail to find a tracer and return -EINVAL. Funny
thing is that the tracer would have already been set.
This patch just consumes all the data that is written to the file.

powerpc: compile kernel for linkstations optimized for size
Since Linkstations and Kuroboxes often have *very* little memory (as
they are embedded systems), it is desirable to get their kernels
compiled optimized for size.

The i2c bus defn is broken on linkstation / kurobox machines since at

enabled, breaks the serial console after the
"console handover: boot [udbg0] -> real [ttyS1]" message.

KVM: Fix guest shared interrupt with in-kernel irqchip
Every call of kvm_set_irq() should offer an irq_source_id, which is
allocated by kvm_request_irq_source_id(). Based on irq_source_id, we
identify the irq source and implement logical OR for shared level
interrupts.
The allocated irq_source_id can be freed by kvm_free_irq_source_id().
Currently, we support at most sizeof(unsigned long) different irq sources.
[Amit: - rebase to kvm.git HEAD
- move definition of KVM_USERSPACE_IRQ_SOURCE_ID to common file
- move kvm_request_irq_source_id to the update_irq ioctl]

sh: Kill off long-dead HD64465 cchip support.
This code has been dead for many years. The last update it received
was in 2003 in order to update it for the driver model changes, though
it had already been in disarray and unused before that point. The only
boards that ever used this chip have not had users in many years either,
so it is finally safe to just kill it off and move on with life.
