8314418629 Freezer: make kernel threads nonfreezable by default
Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel
threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves.  This
approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either
set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't
care for the freezing of tasks at all.

It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to
be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any
freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is
done in this patch.

The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie.  to
have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable()
function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to
unset PF_NOFREEZE.  It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel
threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional)
change of behaviour to appear.  Additionally, it updates documentation to
describe the freezing of tasks more accurately.

4b2643d7d9 i2c: Fix the i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data() prototype
Let the drivers specify how many bytes they want to read with
i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data(). So far, the block count was
hard-coded to I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX (32), which did not make much sense.
Many driver authors complained about this before, and I believe it's
about time to fix it. Right now, authors have to do technically stupid
things, such as individual byte reads or full-fledged I2C messaging,
to work around the problem. We do not want to encourage that.

I even found that some bus drivers (e.g. i2c-amd8111) already
implemented I2C block read the "right" way, that is, they didn't
follow the old, broken standard. The fact that it was never noticed
before just shows how little i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data() was used,
which isn't that surprising given how broken its prototype was so far.

There are some obvious compatiblity considerations:
* This changes the i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data() prototype. Users
  outside the kernel tree will notice at compilation time, and will
  have to update their code.
* User-space has access to i2c_smbus_xfer() directly using i2c-dev, so
  the changed expectations would affect tools such as i2cdump. In order
  to preserve binary compatibility, we give I2C_SMBUS_I2C_BLOCK_DATA
  a new numeric value, and define I2C_SMBUS_I2C_BLOCK_BROKEN with the
  old numeric value. When i2c-dev receives a transaction with the
  old value, it can convert it to the new format on the fly.

7b595756ec sysfs: kill unnecessary attribute->owner
sysfs is now completely out of driver/module lifetime game.  After
deletion, a sysfs node doesn't access anything outside sysfs proper,
so there's no reason to hold onto the attribute owners.  Note that
often the wrong modules were accounted for as owners leading to
accessing removed modules.

This patch kills now unnecessary attribute->owner.  Note that with
this change, userland holding a sysfs node does not prevent the
backing module from being unloaded.

For more info regarding lifetime rule cleanup, please read the
following message.

0251c38ce5 CUDA ADB fixes
Fix the flakiness in the CUDA ADB driver on m68k macs (keypresses getting
wedged down or ADB just going AWOL altogether).

The only IRQ used by this driver is the VIA shift register IRQ. The PowerMac
conditional code disables the other VIA IRQ sources, so don't mess with the
other IRQ flags in the common code -- m68k macs need them.

When polling, don't disable local interrupts when we only need to disable the
CUDA interrupt.

Unless polling, don't clear the shift register IRQ flag. On m68k macs this
creates a race that often breaks CUDA ADB.

Tested on Quadra 840av and LC630 (both m68k); also Beige G3 (powerpc).

d95fd5fce8 m68k: Mac II ADB fixes
Fix a crash caused by requests placed in the queue with the completed flag
already set. This lead to some ADB_SYNC requests returning early and their
request structs being popped off the stack while still queued. Stack corruption
ensued or an invalid request callback pointer was invoked or both. Eliminate
macii_retransmit() and its buggy implementation of macii_write(). Have
macii_queue_poll() fully initialise the request queues.

Fix a bug in macii_queue_poll() where the last_req pointer was not being set.
This caused some requests to leave the queue before being completed (and would
also corrupt the stack under certain conditions).

Fix a race in macii_start that could set the state machine to "reading" while
current_req was null.

No longer send poll commands with the ADBREQ_REPLY flag -- doing that caused
the replies to be stored in the request buffer where they were forgotten
about.

Don't autopoll by continuously sending new Talk commands. Get the controller to
do that for us. This reduces the ADB interrupt rate on an idle bus to about 5
per second. Only autopoll the devices that were probed.

Explicitly clear the interrupt flag when polling.

Use disable_irq rather than local_irq_save when polling.

Remove excess local_irq_save/restore pairs.

Improve bus timeout and service request detection.

Remove unused code (last_reply, adb_dir etc) and unneeded code (prefix_len,
first_byte etc).

Change TIP and TACK to their correct names on this ADB controller (ST_EVEN and
ST_ODD).

Add some commentry.

Add a generous quantity of sanity checks (BUG_ONs).

Let m68k macs use the adb_sync boot param too.

Tested on Mac II, Mac IIci, Quadra 650, Quadra 700 etc.

70b52b3869 [POWERPC] powermac: disallow pmu sleep notifiers from aborting sleep
Tracing through the code, no current PMU sleep notifier can abort sleep.
Since no new PMU sleep notifiers should be added, this patch simplifies the
code and removes the ability to abort sleep.

599a52d126 backlight: Separate backlight properties from backlight ops pointers
Per device data such as brightness belongs to the indivdual device
and should therefore be separate from the the backlight operation
function pointers. This patch splits the two types of data and
allows simplifcation of some code.

28ee086d5b backlight: Fix external uses of backlight internal semaphore
backlight_device->sem has a very specific use as documented in the
header file. The external users of this are using it for a different
reason, to serialise access to the update_status() method.

backlight users were supposed to implement their own internal
serialisation of update_status() if needed but everyone is doing
things differently and incorrectly. Therefore add a global mutex to
take care of serialisation for everyone, once and for all.

Locking for get_brightness remains optional since most users don't
need it.

Also update the lcd class in a similar way.

dfcba20067 backlight: Remove unneeded owner field
Remove uneeded owner field from backlight_properties structure.

Nothing uses it and it is unlikely that it will ever be used. The
backlight class uses other means to ensure that nothing references
unloaded code.

0b4d414714 [PATCH] sysctl: remove insert_at_head from register_sysctl
The semantic effect of insert_at_head is that it would allow new registered
sysctl entries to override existing sysctl entries of the same name.  Which is
pain for caching and the proc interface never implemented.

I have done an audit and discovered that none of the current users of
register_sysctl care as (excpet for directories) they do not register
duplicate sysctl entries.

So this patch simply removes the support for overriding existing entries in
the sys_sysctl interface since no one uses it or cares and it makes future
enhancments harder.
