Remove ACPI 3 E820 extended memory attributes support. At least one
vendor actively set all the flags to zero, but left ECX on return at
24. This bug may be present in other BIOSes.
The breakage functionally means the ACPI 3 flags are probably
completely useless, and that no OS any time soon is going to rely on
their existence. Therefore, drop support completely. We may want to
revisit this question in the future, if we find ourselves actually
needing the flags.
This reverts all or part of the following checkins:
cd670599b7c549e71d07
However, retain the part from the latter commit that copies e820 into
a temporary buffer; that is an unrelated BIOS workaround. Put in a
comment to explain that part.
See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=499396 for some
additional information.

Martin Knoblauch reports that trying to build 2.6.30-rc6-git3 with
RHEL4.3 userspace (gcc (GCC) 3.4.5 20051201 (Red Hat 3.4.5-2)) causes an
internal compiler error (ICE):
drivers/char/random.c: In function `get_random_int':
drivers/char/random.c:1672: error: unrecognizable insn:
(insn 202 148 150 0 /scratch/build/linux-2.6.30-rc6-git3/arch/x86/include/asm/tsc.h:23 (set (reg:SI 0 ax [91])

(nil))
drivers/char/random.c:1672: internal compiler error: in extract_insn, at recog.c:2083
and after some debugging it turns out that it's due to the code trying
to figure out the rough value of the current stack pointer by taking an
address of an uninitialized variable and casting that to an integer.
This is clearly a compiler bug, but it's not worth fighting - while the
current stack kernel pointer might be somewhat hard to predict in user
space, it's also not generally going to change for a lot of the call
chains for a particular process.
So just drop it, and mumble some incoherent curses at the compiler.

The problem is that permission checking is skipped if atomic open is
possible, but when exec opens a file, it just opens it O_READONLY which
means EXEC permission will not be checked at that time.

Commit c45d6320 ("fix reference counting of ftdi_private") stopped
ftdi_sio_port_remove() from directly freeing the port-private data, with
the intention if the port was still open, it would be freed when
ftdi_close() is eventually called and releases the last refcount on the
structure.
That's all very well, but ftdi_sio_port_remove() still contains a call
to usb_set_serial_port_data(port, NULL) -- so by the time we get to
ftdi_close() for the port which was unplugged, it _still_ oopses on
dereferencing that NULL pointer, as it did before (and does in 2.6.29).
The fix is just not to clear the private data in ftdi_sio_port_remove().
Then the refcount is properly reduced to zero when the final kref_put()
happens in ftdi_close().
Remove a bogus comment too, while we're at it. And stop doing things
inside "if (priv)" -- it must _always_ be there.
Based loosely on an earlier patch by Daniel Mack, and suggestions by
Alan Stern.

After upgrading my distcc boxes from gcc 4.2.2 to 4.4.0, the function
graph tracer broke. This was discovered on my x86 boxes.
The issue is that gcc used the same register for an output as it did for
an input in an asm statement. I first thought this was a bug in gcc and
reported it. I was notified that gcc was correct and that the output had
to be flagged as an "early clobber".

Ian Campbell noticed that since "Eliminate thousands of warnings with
gcc 3.2 build" (commit 57adc4d2db) all
WARN_ON()'s currently appear to come from warn_slowpath_null(), eg:
WARNING: at kernel/softirq.c:143 warn_slowpath_null+0x1c/0x20()
because now that warn_slowpath_null() is in the call path, the
__builtin_return_address(0) returns that, rather than the place that
caused the warning.
Fix this by splitting up the warn_slowpath_null/fmt cases differently,
using a common helper function, and getting the return address in the
right place. This also happens to avoid the unnecessary stack usage for
the non-stdargs case, and just generally cleans things up.
Make the function name printout use %pS while at it.

David - make us proud on the shuffle-board tournament!
This patch provides new heuristics for parsing both the form factor and
media rotation rate ATA IDENFITY words.
The reported ATA version must be 7 or greater and the device must return
values defined as valid in the standard. Only then are the
characteristics reported to SCSI via the VPD B1 page.
This seems like a reasonable compromise to me considering that we have
been shipping several kernel releases that key off the rotation rate bit
without any version checking whatsoever. With no complaints so far.
