4ac0718e83 USB: cxacru: Use appropriate logging for errors
When an error occurs, existing logging uses dbg() so the cause of a
problem is hard to determine. Error conditions shouldn't only be
properly reported with debugging enabled.

A side effect of this change is that when an uninitialised device is
started, a log message similar to the following is sent:
	cxacru 5-2:1.0: receive of cm 0x90 failed (-104)
This is normal - the device did not respond so firmware will be loaded.

Ueagle-atm driver load DSP firmware in function, which is running from

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.

fd209e35b7 USB: cxacru: ignore error trying to start ADSL in atm_start
The sysfs adsl_status attribute ignores (aside from returning -EIO to the
user) any error sending a START/STOP command to the device and there is at
least one firmware which never sends a response but appears to work
regardless.  Therefore atm_start should also continue if an error is received
so that such firmware is usable.

The official Conexant driver doesn't expect a reply either but this is for
another device (E2 router) and a commonly used firmware does respond.

Also, there is no point in changing -ECONNRESET to -ETIMEDOUT since nothing
ever checks for either of these values.

da1f82b554 USB: cxacru: create sysfs attributes in atm_start instead of bind
Since usbatm doesn't set the usb_interface driver data until after calling
bind and heavy_init, it would be NULL when the sysfs attributes are read.
Reading the MAC address from atm_dev before atm_dev exists would have been
be possible too.

Calling create_device_file in atm_start will avoid this problem, and the
data is useless until the first status poll runs.  However, it must be
ready before a status poll does a printk on line status change otherwise
userspace could react before the files exist.

For completeness I've moved remove_device_file to atm_stop so it's not
called in unbind when it's not needed.  There's no point starting ADSL if
atm_start could still fail either.

6a02c996bc USB: cxacru: ADSL state management
The device has commands to start/stop the ADSL function, so this adds a
sysfs attribute to allow it to be started/stopped/restarted.  It also stops
polling the device for status when the ADSL function is disabled.

There are no problems with sending multiple start or stop commands, even
with a fast loop of them the device still works.  There is no need to
protect the restart process from further user actions while it's waiting
for 1.5s.

fa70fe44ab USB: cxacru: export detailed device info through sysfs
When the device is polled for status there is a lot of useful status
information available that is ignored.  This patch stores the device info
array when the status is polled and adds sysfs files to the usb device to
allow userspace to query it.  Since the device updates its status
internally once a second the poll time is changed to this, and
round_jiffies_relative is used to avoid waking the cpu unnecessarily.

e9b8daf31b usbatm: create sysfs link "device" from atm class device to usb interface
There is currently no path from the ATM device in /sys to the USB device's
interface that the driver is using; this patch creates a "device" symlink.  It
is then possible to get to the cxacru ADSL statistics
(http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/2/23/328):

/sys/class/atm/cxacru0/device $ ls *_rate *_margin *_attenuation
downstream_attenuation  downstream_snr_margin  upstream_rate
downstream_rate         upstream_attenuation   upstream_snr_margin

If this link is not appropriate I'd have to create device files in
/sys/class/atm/cxacru0 instead - which seems less appropriate since the ADSL
statistics are for the USB device not ATM (which is running over the ADSL).

6a4f1b4135 speedtch: "extended reach"
The speedtouch modem setup code was reverse engineered many years
ago from a prehistoric windows driver. Less ancient windows drivers,
even those from a few years ago, perform extra initialization steps
which this patch adds to the linux driver.  David Woodhouse observed
that this initialization along with the firmware bin/sachu3/zzzlp2.eni
from the driver at
http://www.speedtouch.co.uk/downloads/330/301/UK3012%20Extended.zip
improves line sync speeds by about 20%.  He provided the original
patch, which I've modified to use symbolic names (BMaxDSL, ModemMode,
ModemOption) rather than magic numbers.  These names may not seem like
much of an improvement (after all, what is "ModemOption" exactly?),
but they do have one big advantage: they are the names used in the
windows registry.  I've made them available as module parameters.
Thanks are due to Aurelio Arroyo, who noticed the relationship
between these magic numbers and the entries in Phonebook.ini.

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.

6275cdfa0f [PATCH] USBATM: fix modinfo output
Because of the way stringify works, using an expression
like 64 * 1024 for UDSL_MAX_BUF_SIZE results in 64 * 1024
turning up in the modinfo output instead of 65536.  So use
65536 directly (this was the only way I found of fixing this).
