Sparc32 already supported it, as a consequence of using the
generic atomic64 implementation. And the sparc64 implementation
is rather trivial.
This allows us to set ARCH_HAS_ATOMIC64_DEC_IF_POSITIVE for all
of sparc, and avoid the annoying warning from lib/atomic64_test.c

for sparc again
This bug-fix makes sure that of_address_to_resource is defined extern for sparc
so that the sparc-specific implementation of of_address_to_resource() is once
again used when including include/linux/of_address.h in a sparc context. A
number of drivers in mainline relies on this function working for sparc.
The bug was introduced in a850a7554442f08d3e910c6eeb4ee216868dda1e, "of/address:
add empty static inlines for !CONFIG_OF". Contrary to that commit title, the
static inlines are added for !CONFIG_OF_ADDRESS, and CONFIG_OF_ADDRESS is never
defined for sparc. This is good behavior for the other functions in
include/linux/of_address.h, as the extern functions defined in
drivers/of/address.c only gets linked when OF_ADDRESS is configured. However,
for of_address_to_resource there exists a sparc-specific implementation in
arch/sparc/arch/sparc/kernel/of_device_common.c

If an irq is being unlinked concurrently with leon_handle_ext_irq,
irq_map[eirq] might be null in leon_handle_ext_irq. Make sure that

This adds sparc support for platform_get_irq that in the normal case use
platform_get_resource() to get an irq. This standard approach fails for sparc as
there are no resources of type IORESOURCE_IRQ for irqs for sparc.
Cross platform drivers can then use this standard platform function and work on
sparc instead of having to have a special case for sparc.

If a gianfar ethernet device is down prior to hibernating a
system, it will no longer be present upon system restore.
For example:
~# ifconfig eth0 down
~# echo disk > /sys/power/state
<trigger a restore from hibernation>
~# ifconfig eth0 up
SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such device
This happens because the restore function bails out early upon
finding devices that were not up at hibernation. In doing so,
it never gets to the netif_device_attach call at the end of
the restore function. Adding the netif_device_attach as done
here also makes the gfar_restore code consistent with what is
done in the gfar_resume code.

when something goes wrong, a flood of these messages can be
generated by usbnet (thousands per second). This doesn't
generally *help* the condition so this patch ratelimits the
rate of their generation.
There's an underlying problem in usbnet's kevent deferral
mechanism which needs fixing, specifically that events *can*
get dropped and not handled. This patch doesn't address this,
but just mitigates fallout caused by the current implemention.

For non MIPSr2 processors, such as the BMIPS 5000, calls to
arch_local_irq_disable() and others may be preempted, and in doing
so a stale value may be restored to c0_status. This fix disables
preemption for such processors prior to the call and enables it
after the call.
Those functions that needed this fix have been "outlined" to
mips-atomic.c, as they are no longer good candidates for inlining.
This bug was observed in a BMIPS 5000, occuring once every few hours
in a continuous reboot test. It was traced to the write_lock_irq()
function which was being invoked in release_task() in exit.c.
By placing a number of "nops" inbetween the mfc0/mtc0 pair in
arch_local_irq_disable(), which is called by write_lock_irq(), we
were able to greatly increase the occurance of this bug. Similarly,
the application of this commit silenced the bug.

So far is_compat_task() was testing for 32-bit registers if O32 support
was enabled and if O32 support was disabled but N32 enabled it was testing
for 32-bit address space. So if both O32 and N32 were enabled a N32
task was not considered a compat task, whops.
This still leaves potential cases where O32 and N32 need different treatment
unsolved. But that's another commit.

Revert commit 03a7beb55b9f ("epoll: support for disabling items, and a
self-test app") pending resolution of the issues identified by Michael
Kerrisk, copied below.
We'll revisit this for 3.8.
: I've taken a look at this patch as it currently stands in 3.7-rc1, and
: done a bit of testing. (By the way, the test program
: tools/testing/selftests/epoll/test_epoll.c does not compile...)
:
: There are one or two places where the behavior seems a little strange,
: so I have a question or two at the end of this mail. But other than
: that, I want to check my understanding so that the interface can be
: correctly documented.
:
: Just to go though my understanding, the problem is the following
: scenario in a multithreaded application:
:
: 1. Multiple threads are performing epoll_wait() operations,
: and maintaining a user-space cache that contains information
: corresponding to each file descriptor being monitored by
: epoll_wait().
:
: 2. At some point, a thread wants to delete (EPOLL_CTL_DEL)
: a file descriptor from the epoll interest list, and
: delete the corresponding record from the user-space cache.
:
: 3. The problem with (2) is that some other thread may have
: previously done an epoll_wait() that retrieved information
: about the fd in question, and may be in the middle of using
: information in the cache that relates to that fd. Thus,
: there is a potential race.
:
: 4. The race can't solved purely in user space, because doing
: so would require applying a mutex across the epoll_wait()
: call, which would of course blow thread concurrency.
:
: Right?
:
: Your solution is the EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE operation. I want to
: confirm my understanding about how to use this flag, since
: the description that has accompanied the patches so far
: has been a bit sparse
:
: 0. In the scenario you're concerned about, deleting a file
: descriptor means (safely) doing the following:
: (a) Deleting the file descriptor from the epoll interest list
: using EPOLL_CTL_DEL
: (b) Deleting the corresponding record in the user-space cache
:
: 1. It's only meaningful to use this EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE in
: conjunction with EPOLLONESHOT.
:
: 2. Using EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE without using EPOLLONESHOT in
: conjunction is a logical error.
:
: 3. The correct way to code multithreaded applications using
: EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE and EPOLLONESHOT is as follows:
:
: a. All EPOLL_CTL_ADD and EPOLL_CTL_MOD operations should
: should EPOLLONESHOT.
:
: b. When a thread wants to delete a file descriptor, it
: should do the following:
:
: [1] Call epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE)
: [2] If the return status from epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE)
: was zero, then the file descriptor can be safely
: deleted by the thread that made this call.
: [3] If the epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE) fails with EBUSY,
: then the descriptor is in use. In this case, the calling
: thread should set a flag in the user-space cache to
: indicate that the thread that is using the descriptor
: should perform the deletion operation.
:
: Is all of the above correct?
:
: The implementation depends on checking on whether
: (events & ~EP_PRIVATE_BITS) == 0
: This replies on the fact that EPOLL_CTL_AD and EPOLL_CTL_MOD always
: set EPOLLHUP and EPOLLERR in the 'events' mask, and EPOLLONESHOT
: causes those flags (as well as all others in ~EP_PRIVATE_BITS) to be
: cleared.
:
: A corollary to the previous paragraph is that using EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE
: is only useful in conjunction with EPOLLONESHOT. However, as things
: stand, one can use EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE on a file descriptor that does
: not have EPOLLONESHOT set in 'events' This results in the following
: (slightly surprising) behavior:
:
: (a) The first call to epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE) returns 0
: (the indicator that the file descriptor can be safely deleted).
: (b) The next call to epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE) fails with EBUSY.
:
: This doesn't seem particularly useful, and in fact is probably an
: indication that the user made a logic error: they should only be using
: epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE) on a file descriptor for which
: EPOLLONESHOT was set in 'events'. If that is correct, then would it
: not make sense to return an error to user space for this case?

Virtio wants to release used indices after the corresponding
virtio device has been unregistered. However, virtio does not
hold an extra reference, giving up its last reference with
device_unregister(), making accessing dev->index afterwards
invalid.
I actually saw problems when testing my (not-yet-merged)
virtio-ccw code:
- device_add virtio-net,id=xxx
-> creates device virtio<n> with n>0
- device_del xxx
-> deletes virtio<n>, but calls ida_simple_remove with an
index of 0
- device_add virtio-net,id=xxx
-> tries to add virtio0, which is still in use...
So let's save the index we want to release before calling
device_unregister().

Commit c0077061e7ea accidentally inverted the logic for nouveau_acpi_edid,
causing it to only show a connector as connected when the edid could not
be retrieved with acpi.
