2009-01-06kprobes: support probing module __exit functionMasami Hiramatsu
Allows kprobes to probe __exit routine. This adds flags member to struct kprobe. When module is freed(kprobes hooks module_notifier to get this event), kprobes which probe the functions in that module are set to "Gone" flag to the flags member. These "Gone" probes are never be enabled. Users can check the GONE flag through debugfs. This also removes mod_refcounted, because we couldn't free a module if kprobe incremented the refcount of that module.

2009-01-06module: add within_module_core() and within_module_init()Masami Hiramatsu
This series of patches allows kprobes to probe module's __init and __exit functions. This means, you can probe driver initialization and terminating. Currently, kprobes can't probe __init function because these functions are freed after module initialization. And it also can't probe module __exit functions because kprobe increments reference count of target module and user can't unload it. this means __exit functions never be called unless removing probes from the module. To solve both cases, this series of patches introduces GONE flag and sets it when the target code is freed(for this purpose, kprobes hooks MODULE_STATE_* events). This also removes refcount incrementing for allowing user to unload target module. Users can check which probes are GONE by debugfs interface. For taking timing of freeing module's .init text, these also include a patch which adds module's notifier of MODULE_STATE_LIVE event. This patch: Add within_module_core() and within_module_init() for checking whether an address is in the module .init.text section or .text section, and replace within() local inline functions in kernel/module.c with them. kprobes uses these functions to check where the kprobe is inserted.

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.

2009-01-06spi_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.

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.

2009-01-06sysrq: more explicit, less terse help messagesRandy Dunlap
Eliminate sysrq terse help mode; make sysrq help messages more meaningful (more explicit/verbose). Make the sysrq action letter clearer by listing it explicitly in more sysrq help messages (when it is not simple/clear). The SysRq help message now looks like this: SysRq : HELP : loglevel(0-9) reBoot terminate-all-tasks(E) memory-full-oom-kill(F) kill-all-tasks(I) saK show-backtrace-all-active-cpus(L) show-memory-usage(M) nice-all-RT-tasks(N) powerOff show-registers(P) show-all-timers(Q) unRaw Sync show-task-states(T) Unmount show-blocked-tasks(W) Addresses http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=330403.
