f5c15d0b37 fb: remove fb_save_state() and fb_restore_state operations
Remove fb_save_state() and fb_restore_state operations from frame buffer layer.
They are used only in two drivers:
1. savagefb  - and cause bug #11248
2. uvesafb

Usage of these operations is misunderstood in both drivers so kill these
operations, fix the bug #11248 and avoid confusion in the future.

Tested on Savage 3D/MV card and the patch fixes the bug #11248.

The frame buffer layer uses these funtions during switch between graphics
and text mode of the console, but these drivers saves state before
switching of the frame buffer (in the fb_open) and after releasing it (in
the fb_release).  This defeats the purpose of these operations.

0741241c6b connector: make callback argument type explicit
The connector documentation states that the argument to the callback
function is always a pointer to a struct cn_msg, but rather than encode it
in the API itself, it uses a void pointer everywhere.  This doesn't make
much sense to encode the pointer in documentation as it prevents proper C
type checking from occurring and can easily allow people to use the wrong
pointer type.  So convert the argument type to an explicit struct cn_msg
pointer.

2ead9439f0 uvesafb: improve parameter handling.
1) Now module_param(..., invbool, ...) requires a bool, and similarly
   module_param(..., bool, ...) allows it, change pmi_setpal to a bool.
2) #define param_get_scroll to NULL, since it can never be called (perm
   argument to module_param_named is 0).
3) Return -EINVAL from param_set_scroll if the value is bad, so it's
   reported.

Note that I don't think the old fb_get_options() is required for new
drivers: the parameters automatically work as uvesafb.XXX=... anyway.

0ca1071f7d uvesafb: fix color component length for pseudocolor modes
uvesafb incorrectly sets the length of the color fields to 6 bits for
PSEUDOCOLOR modes, even though 8 bits are always used per pixel.  Fix this
by setting the length to 8.

The switch of the DAC width from the default 6 bits to 8 bits is retained
and tracked internally in the driver, but never exposed to userspace.

23b7365454 uvesafb: fix selecting mode with the vbemode option
If the vbemode option is used, uvesafb calls fb_get_mode() without first
setting the resolution in info->var.  This results in a division by zero
in fb_get_mode(), as evidenced e.g.  in [1].  Fix this by ensuring the
info->var structure is populated before fb_get_mode() is called.

ff491a7334 netlink: change return-value logic of netlink_broadcast()
Currently, netlink_broadcast() reports errors to the caller if no
messages at all were delivered:

1) If, at least, one message has been delivered correctly, returns 0.
2) Otherwise, if no messages at all were delivered due to skb_clone()
   failure, return -ENOBUFS.
3) Otherwise, if there are no listeners, return -ESRCH.

With this patch, the caller knows if the delivery of any of the
messages to the listeners have failed:

1) If it fails to deliver any message (for whatever reason), return
   -ENOBUFS.
2) Otherwise, if all messages were delivered OK, returns 0.
3) Otherwise, if no listeners, return -ESRCH.

In the current ctnetlink code and in Netfilter in general, we can add
reliable logging and connection tracking event delivery by dropping the
packets whose events were not successfully delivered over Netlink. Of
course, this option would be settable via /proc as this approach reduces
performance (in terms of filtered connections per seconds by a stateful
firewall) but providing reliable logging and event delivery (for
conntrackd) in return.

This patch also changes some clients of netlink_broadcast() that
may report ENOBUFS errors via printk. This error handling is not
of any help. Instead, the userspace daemons that are listening to
those netlink messages should resync themselves with the kernel-side
if they hit ENOBUFS.

BTW, netlink_broadcast() clients include those that call
cn_netlink_send(), nlmsg_multicast() and genlmsg_multicast() since they
internally call netlink_broadcast() and return its error value.

9350cc90ca uvesafb: don't treat mode info retrieval failures as errors
Some BIOSes return error codes when queried for information about
modes from their own modelist.  uvesafb treats this as an error
case and bails out.

Change this behavior so that broken modes do not prevent the driver
from working.  Only the failure to retrieve information about any
usable video mode is considered to be an error case.

5e72b32d86 uvesafb: don't treat valid modes returned byfb_find_mode() as errors
Don't treat valid modes returned by fb_find_mode() (best-fit modes, default
modes or the first valid mode) as errors.

Currently, when fb_find_mode() finds a valid mode belonging to one of the
above-mentioned classes, uvesafb will ignore it and will try to set a 640x480
video mode.  The expected behaviour (introduced by this patch) would be to use
the valid mode returned by fb_find_mode() instead.

8bdb3a2d7d uvesafb: the driver core
uvesafb is an enhanced version of vesafb.  It uses a userspace helper (v86d)
to execute calls to the x86 Video BIOS functions.  The driver is not limited
to any specific arch and whether it works on a given arch or not depends on
that arch being supported by the userspace daemon.  It has been tested on
x86_32 and x86_64.

A single BIOS call is represented by an instance of the uvesafb_ktask
structure.  This structure contains a buffer, a completion struct and a
uvesafb_task substructure, containing the values of the x86 registers, a flags
field and a field indicating the length of the buffer.  Whenever a BIOS call
is made in the driver, uvesafb_exec() builds a message using the uvesafb_task
substructure and the contents of the buffer.  This message is then assigned a
random ack number and sent to the userspace daemon using the connector
interface.

The message's sequence number is used as an index for the uvfb_tasks array,
which provides a mapping from the messages coming from userspace to the
in-kernel uvesafb_ktask structs.

The userspace daemon performs the requested operation and sends a reply in the
form of a uvesafb_task struct and, optionally, a buffer.  The seq and ack
numbers in the reply should be exactly the same as those in the request.

Each message from userspace is processed by uvesafb_cn_callback() and after
passing a few sanity checks leads to the completion of a BIOS call request.
