e041c68341 [PATCH] Notifier chain update: API changes
The kernel's implementation of notifier chains is unsafe.  There is no
protection against entries being added to or removed from a chain while the
chain is in use.  The issues were discussed in this thread:

    http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=113018709002036&w=2

We noticed that notifier chains in the kernel fall into two basic usage
classes:

	"Blocking" chains are always called from a process context
	and the callout routines are allowed to sleep;

	"Atomic" chains can be called from an atomic context and
	the callout routines are not allowed to sleep.

We decided to codify this distinction and make it part of the API.  Therefore
this set of patches introduces three new, parallel APIs: one for blocking
notifiers, one for atomic notifiers, and one for "raw" notifiers (which is
really just the old API under a new name).  New kinds of data structures are
used for the heads of the chains, and new routines are defined for
registration, unregistration, and calling a chain.  The three APIs are
explained in include/linux/notifier.h and their implementation is in
kernel/sys.c.

With atomic and blocking chains, the implementation guarantees that the chain
links will not be corrupted and that chain callers will not get messed up by
entries being added or removed.  For raw chains the implementation provides no
guarantees at all; users of this API must provide their own protections.  (The
idea was that situations may come up where the assumptions of the atomic and
blocking APIs are not appropriate, so it should be possible for users to
handle these things in their own way.)

There are some limitations, which should not be too hard to live with.  For
atomic/blocking chains, registration and unregistration must always be done in
a process context since the chain is protected by a mutex/rwsem.  Also, a
callout routine for a non-raw chain must not try to register or unregister
entries on its own chain.  (This did happen in a couple of places and the code
had to be changed to avoid it.)

Since atomic chains may be called from within an NMI handler, they cannot use
spinlocks for synchronization.  Instead we use RCU.  The overhead falls almost
entirely in the unregister routine, which is okay since unregistration is much
less frequent that calling a chain.

Here is the list of chains that we adjusted and their classifications.  None
of them use the raw API, so for the moment it is only a placeholder.

  ATOMIC CHAINS
  -------------
arch/i386/kernel/traps.c:		i386die_chain
arch/ia64/kernel/traps.c:		ia64die_chain
arch/powerpc/kernel/traps.c:		powerpc_die_chain
arch/sparc64/kernel/traps.c:		sparc64die_chain
arch/x86_64/kernel/traps.c:		die_chain
drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c:	xaction_notifier_list
kernel/panic.c:				panic_notifier_list
kernel/profile.c:			task_free_notifier
net/bluetooth/hci_core.c:		hci_notifier
net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_core.c:	ip_conntrack_chain
net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_core.c:	ip_conntrack_expect_chain
net/ipv6/addrconf.c:			inet6addr_chain
net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c:	nf_conntrack_chain
net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c:	nf_conntrack_expect_chain
net/netlink/af_netlink.c:		netlink_chain

  BLOCKING CHAINS
  ---------------
arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/reconfig.c:	pSeries_reconfig_chain
arch/s390/kernel/process.c:		idle_chain
arch/x86_64/kernel/process.c		idle_notifier
drivers/base/memory.c:			memory_chain
drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c		cpufreq_policy_notifier_list
drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c		cpufreq_transition_notifier_list
drivers/macintosh/adb.c:		adb_client_list
drivers/macintosh/via-pmu.c		sleep_notifier_list
drivers/macintosh/via-pmu68k.c		sleep_notifier_list
drivers/macintosh/windfarm_core.c	wf_client_list
drivers/usb/core/notify.c		usb_notifier_list
drivers/video/fbmem.c			fb_notifier_list
kernel/cpu.c				cpu_chain
kernel/module.c				module_notify_list
kernel/profile.c			munmap_notifier
kernel/profile.c			task_exit_notifier
kernel/sys.c				reboot_notifier_list
net/core/dev.c				netdev_chain
net/decnet/dn_dev.c:			dnaddr_chain
net/ipv4/devinet.c:			inetaddr_chain

It's possible that some of these classifications are wrong.  If they are,
please let us know or submit a patch to fix them.  Note that any chain that
gets called very frequently should be atomic, because the rwsem read-locking
used for blocking chains is very likely to incur cache misses on SMP systems.
(However, if the chain's callout routines may sleep then the chain cannot be
atomic.)

The patch set was written by Alan Stern and Chandra Seetharaman, incorporating
material written by Keith Owens and suggestions from Paul McKenney and Andrew
Morton.

33d8675ea6 [PATCH] amiga: fix driver_register() return handling, remove zorro_module_init()
Remove the assumption that driver_register() returns the number of devices
bound to the driver.  In fact, it returns zero for success or a negative
error value.

zorro_module_init() used the device count to automatically unregister and
unload drivers that found no devices.  That might have worked at one time,
but has been broken for some time because zorro_register_driver() returned
either a negative error or a positive count (never zero).  So it could only
unregister on failure, when it's not needed anyway.

This functionality could be resurrected in individual drivers by counting
devices in their .probe() methods.

d1521260f5 [PATCH] vgacon: no vertical resizing on EGA
EGA boards suck: they mostly have write-only registers.  This is
particularly problematic for the overflow register: for being able to write
to it, we would have to handle vertical sync & such too, which (I'd say)
would potentially break a lot of configurations.  Instead, just disabling
vertical resize for EGA boards is just nice enough (horizontal resize still
works).

a1909e631c [PATCH] radeonfb: resume support for Samsung P35 laptops
Make resume from suspend-to-ram possible for Samsung P35 laptops.

The radeon mobility 9700 chip on Samsung P35 laptops locks up everything on
resume from suspend-to-ram if it is not reinitialized.

VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV350 [Mobility Radeon 9600 M10]
Class 0300: 1002:4e50
       Subsystem: 144d:c00c

Unfortunately, the DMI strings are mostly identical for all Samsung
laptops.  So we match the PCI ID and subsystem ID of the graphics card
which is unique for each Samsung laptop model.

9f672004ab [PATCH] neofb: avoid resetting display config on unblank (v2)
There were two mistakes in the register-read-on-(un)blank approach.

- First, without proper register (un)locking the value read back will always
  be zero, and this is what I missed entirely until just now.  Due to this,
  the logic could not be verified at all and I tried some bogus checks which
  are completely stupid.

- Second, the LCD status bit will always be set to zero when the backlight
  has been turned off.  Reading the value back during unblank will disable the
  LCD unconditionally, regardless of the state it is supposed to be in, since
  we set it to zero beforehand.

So this is what we do now:

- create a new variable in struct neofb_par, and use that to determine
  whether to read back registers (initialized to true)

- before actually blanking the screen, read back the register to sense any
  possible change made through Fn key combo

- use proper neoUnlock() / neoLock() to actually read something

- every call to neofb_blank() determines if we read back next time: blanking
  disables readback, unblanking (FB_BLANK_UNBLANK) enables it

This should give us a nice and clean state machine.  Has been thoroughly
tested on a Dell Latitude CPiA / NM220 Chip docked to a C/Dock2 with attached
CRT in all possible combinations of LCD/CRT on/off.  I changed the config via
Fn key, let the console blank, unblanked by keypress - works flawlessly.

10ee39fe3f [PATCH] neofb: avoid resetting display config on unblank
Fix issues with the NeoMagic framebuffer driver.

It nicely complements my previous fix already in linus' tree.  The only
thing missing now is that the external CRT will not be activated at neofb
init when external-only is selected, either by register read or
module/kernel parameter.

Testing was done on a Dell Latitude CPi-A/NM2200 chip.

Previous behaviour:
- before booting linux, set the preferred display config X via FN+F8

- boot linux, neofb stores the register values in a private
  variable

- change the display config to Y via keystroke

- leave the machine in peace until display is blanked

- touching any key will result in display config X being restored

- booting up, the BIOS will acknowledge config Y, though...

Current behaviour:
At the time of unblanking, config Y is honoured because we now read back
register contents instead of just overwriting them with outdated values.

Some time before 2.6.15, a third DDC channel was added to i810fb.  On
systems where these ddc pins are not connected, the probe takes about 10
seconds.

Add a boot/module option for i810fb to explicitly probe for the 3rd ddc bus
if needed.
