4455b1191c hvc_console: use "*_console" nomenclature to avoid modpost warning.
The use of "hvc_con_driver" as the name for a file-static "struct
console" with a ".setup" field pointing to an __init function causes
a modpost warning, since a non-initdata structure points to init code.
Using "hvc_console" as the name triggers the hacky "*_console"
workaround in modpost to silence the warning, and is the same thing
that most of the other console drivers already do.

I made the same change in hvsi.c since I happened to notice it was
likely to suffer from the same problem.

320718ee07 hvc_console: Fix race between hvc_close and hvc_remove
I don't claim to understand the tty layer, but it seems like hvc_open and
hvc_close should be balanced in their kref reference counting.

Right now we get a kref every call to hvc_open:

        if (hp->count++ > 0) {
                tty_kref_get(tty); <----- here
                spin_unlock_irqrestore(&hp->lock, flags);
                hvc_kick();
                return 0;
        } /* else count == 0 */

        tty->driver_data = hp;

        hp->tty = tty_kref_get(tty); <------ or here if hp->count was 0

But hvc_close has:

        tty_kref_get(tty);

        if (--hp->count == 0) {
...
                /* Put the ref obtained in hvc_open() */
                tty_kref_put(tty);
...
        }

        tty_kref_put(tty);

Since the outside kref get/put balance we only do a single kref_put when
count reaches 0.

The patch below changes things to call tty_kref_put once for every
hvc_close call, and with that my machine boots fine.

5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

e74d098c66 hvc_console: Fix race between hvc_close and hvc_remove
Alan pointed out a race in the code where hvc_remove is invoked. The
recent virtio_console work is the first user of hvc_remove().

Alan describes it thus:

The hvc_console assumes that a close and remove call can't occur at the
same time.

In addition tty_hangup(tty) is problematic as tty_hangup is asynchronous
itself....

So this can happen

        hvc_close                               hvc_remove
        hung up ? - no
                                                lock
                                                tty = hp->tty
                                                unlock
        lock
        hp->tty = NULL
        unlock
        notify del
        kref_put the hvc struct
        close completes
        tty is destroyed
                                                tty_hangup dead tty
                                                tty->ops will be NULL
                                                NULL->...

This patch adds some tty krefs and also converts to using tty_vhangup().

254be490f2 hvc_console: Provide (un)locked version for hvc_resize()
Rename the locking free hvc_resize() function to __hvc_resize() and
provide an inline function that locks the hvc_struct and calls
__hvc_resize().

The rationale for this patch is that virtio_console calls the hvc_resize()
function without locking the hvc_struct. So it needs to call the lock
itself.

According to naming rules, the unlocked version is renamed and
prefixed with "__".
References to unlocked function calls in hvc back-ends has been updated.

7f8030d166 hvc_console: Remove tty->low_latency
This patch removes the tty->low_latency setting.

For irq based hvc_console backends the tty->low_latency must be set to 0,
because the tty_flip_buffer_push() function must not be called from IRQ context
(see drivers/char/tty_buffer.c).

For polled backends, the low_latency setting causes the bug trace below, because
tty_flip_buffer_push() is called within an atomic context and subsequent calls
might sleep due to mutex_lock.

hvc_console is setting low_latency unconditionally, but some clients are

368c1e3249 hvc_console: Escape magic sysrq key
The ctrl-o (^O) is a common control key used by several applications,
such as vim, but hvc_console uses ^O as the magic-sysrq key.  This
commit allows users to send ^O to applications by pressing ^O twice
in succession.

To implement this, this commit introduces a check if ^O is pressed
again if the sysrq_pressed variable is already set.  In this case,
clear sysrq_pressed state and flip the ^O character to the tty.  (The
old behavior has always set "sysrq_pressed" if ^O has been entered,
and it has not flipped the ^O character to the tty.)

febde37119 hvc_console: Add support for tty window resizing
The patch provides the hvc_resize() function to update the terminal
window dimensions (struct winsize) for a specified hvc console.
The function stores the new window size and schedules a function
that finally updates the tty winsize and signals the change to
user space (SIGWINCH).
Because the winsize update must acquire a mutex and might sleep,
the function is scheduled instead of being called from hvc_poll()
or khvcd.

This patch uses the tty_do_resize() routine from the tty layer.
A pending resize work is canceled in hvc_close() and hvc_hangup().

3feebbb549 hvc_console: Fix loop if put_char() returns 0
If put_char() routine of a hvc console backend returns 0, then the
hvc console starts looping in the following scenarios:

1. hvc_console_print()
	If put_char() returns 0 then the while loop may loop forever.
	I have added the missing check for 0 to throw away console messages.

2. khvcd may loop:
	The thread calls hvc_poll() --> hvc_push()... if there are still
	buffered data then the HVC_POLL_WRITE bit is set and causes the
	khvcd thread to loop (if yield() returns immediately).

	However, instead of looping, the khvcd thread could sleep for
	MIN_TIMEOUT (doing the same as for get_chars()).
	The MIN_TIMEOUT is set if hvc_push() was not able to write
	data to the backend. If data has been written, the timeout is
	set to 0 to immediately re-schedule hvc_poll().

56ce9e2b24 hvc_console: Add tty driver flag TTY_DRIVER_RESET_TERMIOS
After a tty hangup() or close() operation, processes might not reset the
termio settings to a sane state. In order to reset the termios to its
default settings the tty driver flag TTY_DRIVER_RESET_TERMIOS has been added.

TTY driver flag description from include/linux/tty_driver.h:
	TTY_DRIVER_RESET_TERMIOS --- requests the tty layer to reset the
	  termios setting when the last process has closed the device.
	  Used for PTY's, in particular.

    hvc_console: rework setup to replace irq functions with callbacks
    introduced a spinlock recursion problem. The notifier_del is
    called with a lock held, and in turns calls free_irq which then
    complains when manipulating procfs. This fixes it by moving the
    call to the notifier to outside of the locked section.

2571cd6a8e drivers/char/hvc_console.c: adjust call to put_tty_driver
The call to put_tty_driver is out of place and is applied to the wrong
argument.

The function enclosing the patched code calls alloc_tty_driver and stores
the result in drv.  Subsequently, there are two occurrences of error
handling code, one making a goto to put_tty and one making a goto to
stop_thread.  At the point of the first one the assignment hvc_driver = drv
has not yet been executed, and from inspecting the rest of the file it
seems that hvc_driver would be NULL.  Thus the current call to
put_tty_driver is useless, and one applied to drv is needed.  The goto
stop_thread is in the error handling code for a call to
tty_register_driver, but the error cases in tty_register_driver do not free
its argument, so it should be done here.  Thus, I have moved the put_tty
label after the stop_thread label, so that put_tty_driver is called in both
cases.

The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows:

b1b135c8d6 fix spinlock recursion in hvc_console
commit 611e097d77
Author: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@de.ibm.com>
hvc_console: rework setup to replace irq functions with callbacks
introduced a spinlock recursion problem.

request_irq tries to call the handler if the IRQ is shared.
The irq handler of hvc_console calls hvc_poll and hvc_kill
which might take the hvc_struct spinlock. Therefore, we have
to call request_irq outside the spinlock.

We can move the notifier_add safely outside the spinlock as ->data must
not be changed by the backend. Otherwise, tty_hangup would fail anyway.

611e097d77 hvc_console: rework setup to replace irq functions with callbacks
This patch tries to change hvc_console to not use request_irq/free_irq if
the backend does not use irqs. This allows virtio_console to use hvc_console
without having a linker reference to request_irq/free_irq.

In addition, together with patch 2/3 it improves the performance for virtio
console input. (an earlier version of this patch was tested by Yajin on lguest)

The irq specific code is moved to hvc_irq.c and selected by the drivers that
use irqs (System p, System i, XEN).

I replaced "int irq" with the opaque "int data". The request_irq and
free_irq calls are replaced with notifier_add and notifier_del. I have also
changed the code a bit to call the notifier_add and notifier_del inside the
spinlock area as the callbacks are found via hp->ops.

Changes since last version:
o remove ifdef
o reintroduce "irq_requested" as "notified"
o cleanups, sparse..

I did not move the timer based polling into a separate polling scheme. I
played with several variants, but it seems we need to sleep/schedule in
a thread even for irq based consoles, as there are throttleing and buffer
size constraints.

I also kept hvc_struct defined in hvc_console.h so that hvc_irq.c can access
the irq_requested element.

Feedback is appreciated. virtio_console is currently the only available console
for kvm on s390. I plan to push this change as soon as all affected parties
agree on it. I would love to get test results from System p, Xen etc.

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.

7d12e780e0 IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers
Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead
of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the
Linux kernel.

The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack
space and code to pass it around.  On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter
from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path
(ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()).

Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do
something different with the variable.  On FRV, for instance, the address is
maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception
handling.

Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down
through up to twenty or so layers of functions.  Consider a USB character
device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its
interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller.  A character
device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input
layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing.

I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386.  I've runtested the
main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers.
I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile
with minimal configurations.

This will affect all archs.  Mostly the changes should be relatively easy.
Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one:

	struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs);

And put the old one back at the end:

	set_irq_regs(old_regs);

Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ().

In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary:

	-	update_process_times(user_mode(regs));
	-	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs);
	+	update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs()));
	+	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING);

I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself,
except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode().

Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers:

 (*) input_dev() is now gone entirely.  The regs pointer is no longer stored in
     the input_dev struct.

 (*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking.  It does
     something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs
     pointer or not.

 (*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type
     irq_handler_t.

b68e31d0eb [PATCH] const struct tty_operations
As part of an SMP cleanliness pass over UML, I consted a bunch of
structures in order to not have to document their locking.  One of these
structures was a struct tty_operations.  In order to const it in UML
without introducing compiler complaints, the declaration of
tty_set_operations needs to be changed, and then all of its callers need to
be fixed.

This patch declares all struct tty_operations in the tree as const.  In all
cases, they are static and used only as input to tty_set_operations.  As an
extra check, I ran an i386 allyesconfig build which produced no extra
warnings.

53 drivers are affected.  I checked the history of a bunch of them, and in
most cases, there have been only a handful of maintenance changes in the
last six months.  serial_core.c was the busiest one that I looked at.

No other tty driver will print on the console when the open of it fails.

On systems that happen to be configured for both ttyS0 and hvc0 console,
this will keep flooding the console output.  This is most likely to
happen with systems booted between with and without hypervisor from the
same filesystem.

Let's just remove it. When it's really needed (i.e. when the open fails
and someone is trying to debug it), noone will see the output anyway. And
init will report the opens failing in due time through the syslog.
