2009-01-06kprobes: bugfix: try_module_get even if calling_mod is NULLMasami Hiramatsu
When someone called register_*probe() from kernel-core code(not from module) and that probes a kernel module, users can remove the probed module because kprobe doesn't increment reference counter of the module. (on the other hand, if the kernel-module calls register_*probe, kprobe increments refcount of the probed module.) Currently, we have no register_*probe() calling from kernel-core(except smoke-test, but the smoke-test doesn't probe module), so there is no real bugs. But the logic is wrong(or not fair) and it can causes a problem when someone might want to probe module from kernel. After this patch is applied, even if someone put register_*probe() call in the kernel-core code, it increments the reference counter of the probed module, and it prevents user to remove the module until stopping probing it.

2009-01-06spi: atmel_spi update chipselect handlingHaavard Skinnemoen
This solves several issues: * It fixes the wrong idle clock polarity issue in a cleaner and less expensive way. * It handles the AT32AP7000 errata "SPI Chip Select 0 BITS field overrides other Chip Selects". Other chips, e.g. AT91SAM9261, have similar issues. Currently, the AT91RM9200 code path is left alone. But it might be interesting to try the same technique on RM9200 using a different CSR register.

2009-01-06atmel_spi: clean up SPIv1 quirk handlingHaavard Skinnemoen
Currently, we have a flag called "new_1" which is basically equivalent to cpu_is_at91rm9200(). The latter is also called directly a few places. Clean up this mess by introducing a atmel_spi_v2() function for determining the controller version, and move all version dependent code over to use it. This allows us to remove the new_1 flag.

2009-01-06spi_gpio driverDavid Brownell
Generalize the old at91rm9200 "bootstrap" bitbanging SPI master driver as "spi_gpio", so it works with arbitrary GPIOs and can be configured through platform_data. Such SPI masters support: - any number of bus instances (bus_num is the platform_device.id) - any number of chipselects (one GPIO per spi_device) - all four SPI_MODE values, and SPI_CS_HIGH - i/o word sizes from 1 to 32 bits; - devices configured as with any other spi_master controller When configured using platform_data, this provides relatively low clock rates. On platforms that support inlined GPIO calls, significantly improved transfer speeds are also possible with a semi-custom driver. (It's still painful when accessing flash memory, but less so.) Sanity checked by using this version to replace both native controllers on a board with six different SPI slaves, relying on three different SPI_MODE_* values and both SPI_CS_HIGH settings for correct operation.

The adt7470 driver currently assumes that 1s is the proper time to wait to read all temperature sensors. However, the correct time is 200ms * number_of_sensors.

2009-01-06adt7470: fix pwm at a certain level during temperature sensor scanDarrick J. Wong
In the small window that it takes to read the temperature sensors, the pwm outputs momentarily drop to 0. This causes a noticeable hiccup in fan speed, which is slightly annoying. The solution is to manually program the pwm output with whatever the automatic value is and then shift the fans to manual control while reading temperatures. Once that is done, put the fans back to whatever mode of control was there before. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.

2009-01-06checkpatch: Add warning for p0-patchesWolfram Sang
Some people work internally with -p0-patches which has the danger that one forgets to convert them to -p1 before mainlining. Bitten myself and seen p0-patches in mailing lists occasionally, this patch adds a warning to checkpatch.pl in case a patch is -p0. If you really want, you can fool this check to generate false positives, this is why it just spits a warning.

2009-01-06remove linux/hardirq.h from asm-generic/local.hRussell King
While looking at reducing the amount of architecture namespace pollution in the generic kernel, I found that asm/irq.h is included in the vast majority of compilations on ARM (around 650 files.) Since asm/irq.h includes a sub-architecture include file on ARM, this causes a negative impact on the ccache's ability to re-use the build results from other sub-architectures, so we have a desire to reduce the dependencies on asm/irq.h. It turns out that a major cause of this is the needless include of linux/hardirq.h into asm-generic/local.h. The patch below removes this include, resulting in some 250 to 300 files (around half) of the kernel then omitting asm/irq.h. My test builds still succeed, provided two ARM files are fixed (arch/arm/kernel/traps.c and arch/arm/mm/fault.c) - so there may be negative impacts for this on other architectures. Note that x86 does not include asm/irq.h nor linux/hardirq.h in its asm/local.h, so this patch can be viewed as bringing the generic version into line with the x86 version.
