microblaze: Fix of/address: Merge all of the bus translation code
booting-without-of: Remove nonexistent chapters from TOC, fix numbering
tty: fix fu_list abuse
tty code abuses fu_list, which causes a bug in remount,ro handling.
If a tty device node is opened on a filesystem, then the last link to the inode
removed, the filesystem will be allowed to be remounted readonly. This is
because fs_may_remount_ro does not find the 0 link tty inode on the file sb
list (because the tty code incorrectly removed it to use for its own purpose).
This can result in a filesystem with errors after it is marked "clean".
Taking idea from Christoph's initial patch, allocate a tty private struct
at file->private_data and put our required list fields in there, linking
file and tty. This makes tty nodes behave the same way as other device nodes
and avoid meddling with the vfs, and avoids this bug.
The error handling is not trivial in the tty code, so for this bugfix, I take
the simple approach of using __GFP_NOFAIL and don't worry about memory errors.
This is not a problem because our allocator doesn't fail small allocs as a rule
anyway. So proper error handling is left as an exercise for tty hackers.
[ Arguably filesystem's device inode would ideally be divorced from the
driver's pseudo inode when it is opened, but in practice it's not clear whether
that will ever be worth implementing. ]

There are different types of a fifo which can not handled in C without a
lot of overhead. So i decided to write the API as a set of macros, which
is the only way to do a kind of template meta programming without C++.
This macros handles the different types of fifos in a transparent way.
There are a lot of benefits:
- Compile time handling of the different fifo types
- Better performance (a save put or get of an integer does only generate
9 assembly instructions on a x86)
- Type save
- Cleaner interface, the additional kfifo_..._rec() functions are gone
- Easier to use
- Less error prone
- Different types of fifos: it is now possible to define a int fifo or
any other type. See below for an example.
- Smaller footprint for none byte type fifos
- No need of creating a second hidden variable, like in the old DEFINE_KFIFO
The API was not changed.
There are now real in place fifos where the data space is a part of the
structure. The fifo needs now 20 byte plus the fifo space. Dynamic
assigned or allocated create a little bit more code.
Most of the macros code will be optimized away and simple generate a
function call. Only the really small one generates inline code.
Additionally you can now create fifos for any data type, not only the
"unsigned char" byte streamed fifos.
There is also a new kfifo_put and kfifo_get function, to handle a single
element in a fifo. This macros generates inline code, which is lit bit
larger but faster.
I know that this kind of macros are very sophisticated and not easy to
maintain. But i have all tested and it works as expected. I analyzed the
output of the compiler and for the x86 the code is as good as hand written
assembler code. For the byte stream fifo the generate code is exact the
same as with the current kfifo implementation. For all other types of
fifos the code is smaller before, because the interface is easier to use.
The main goal was to provide an API which is very intuitive, save and easy
to use. So linux will get now a powerful fifo API which provides all what
a developer needs. This will save in the future a lot of kernel space,
since there is no need to write an own implementation. Most of the device
driver developers need a fifo, and also deep kernel development will gain
benefit from this API.
Here are the results of the text section usage:
Example 1:
kfifo_put/_get kfifo_in/out current kfifo
dynamic allocated 0x000002a8 0x00000291 0x00000299
in place 0x00000291 0x0000026e 0x00000273
kfifo.c new old
text section size 0x00000be5 0x000008b2
As you can see, kfifo_put/kfifo_get creates a little bit more code than
kfifo_in/kfifo_out, but it is much faster (the code is inline).
The code is complete hand crafted and optimized. The text section size is
as small as possible. You get all the fifo handling in only 3 kb. This
includes type safe fix size records, dynamic records and DMA handling.
This should be the final version. All requested features are implemented.
Note: Most features of this API doesn't have any users. All functions
which are not used in the next 9 months will be removed. So, please adapt
your drivers and other sources as soon as possible to the new API and post
it.
This are the features which are currently not used in the kernel:
kfifo_to_user()
kfifo_from_user()
kfifo_dma_....() macros
kfifo_esize()
kfifo_recsize()
kfifo_put()
kfifo_get()
The fixed size record elements, exclude "unsigned char" fifo's and the
variable size records fifo's
This patch:
User of the kernel fifo should never bypass the API and directly access
the fifo structure. Otherwise it will be very hard to maintain the API.

This is one of the most interesting users of module parameters in the

scheme is a useful exercise.
I was confused by set_param_int/get_param_int (vs. the normal
param_set_int and param_get_int), so I renamed set_param_int to
set_param_timeout, and re-used param_get_int directly instead of
get_param_int. I also implemented param_check_wdog_ifnum and
param_check_timeout, so now the ifnum_to_use and timeout/pretimeout
parameters can just use plain module_param().

When the console has been redirected, a hangup of the tty
will cause tty_release to be called under the big tty_mutex,
which leads to a deadlock because hangup is also called
under the BTM.
This moves the BTM deeper into the tty_hangup function so
we can close the redirected tty without holding the BTM.

Jesse's initial patch commit said:
"At panic time (i.e. when oops_in_progress is set) we should try a bit
harder to update the screen and make sure output gets to the VT, since
some drivers are capable of flipping back to it.
So make sure we try to unblank and update the display if called from a
panic context."
I've enhanced this to add a flag to the vc that console layer can set to
indicate they want this behaviour to occur. This also adds support to
fbcon for that flag and adds an fb flag for drivers to indicate they want
to use the support. It enables this for KMS drivers.

This patch is against the 2.6.34 source.
Paraphrased from the 1989 BSD patch by David Borman @ cray.com:
These are the changes needed for the kernel to support
LINEMODE in the server.
There is a new bit in the termios local flag word, EXTPROC.
When this bit is set, several aspects of the terminal driver
are disabled. Input line editing, character echo, and mapping
of signals are all disabled. This allows the telnetd to turn
off these functions when in linemode, but still keep track of
what state the user wants the terminal to be in.
New ioctl:
TIOCSIG Generate a signal to processes in the
current process group of the pty.
There is a new mode for packet driver, the TIOCPKT_IOCTL bit.
When packet mode is turned on in the pty, and the EXTPROC bit
is set, then whenever the state of the pty is changed, the
next read on the master side of the pty will have the TIOCPKT_IOCTL
bit set. This allows the process on the server side of the pty
to know when the state of the terminal has changed; it can then
issue the appropriate ioctl to retrieve the new state.
Since the original BSD patches accompanied the source code for telnet
I've left that reference here, but obviously the feature is useful for
any remote terminal protocol, including ssh.
The corresponding feature has existed in the BSD tty driver since 1989.
For historical reference, a good copy of the relevant files can be found
here:

kernel will die on some platform when switch from vga mode to framebuffer
mode. The reason of this bug is that bind_con_driver reset vc->vc_origin
to (unsigned long)vc->vc_screenbuf.
On vgacon vc->vc_origin is not releated to vc->vc_screenbuf,if set
vc->vc_origin to vc->vc_screenbuf,kernel will die on vc_do_resize.
static int vc_do_resize(struct tty_struct *tty, struct tty_struct *real_tty,
struct vc_data *vc, unsigned int cols, unsigned int lines)
