The drivers
- ohci1394 (controller driver)
- ieee1394 (core)
- dv1394, raw1394, video1394 (userspace ABI)
- eth1394, sbp2 (protocol drivers)
are replaced by
- firewire-ohci (controller driver)
- firewire-core (core and userspace ABI)
- firewire-net, firewire-sbp2 (protocol drivers)
which are more featureful, better performing, and more secure than the older
drivers; all with a smaller and more modern code base.
The driver firedtv in drivers/media/dvb/firewire/ contains backends to both
ieee1394 and firewire-core. Its ieee1394 backend code can be removed in an
independent commit; firedtv as-is builds and works fine without ieee1394.
The driver pcilynx (an incomplete controller driver) is deleted without
replacement since PCILynx cards are extremely rare. Owners of these cards
use them with the stand-alone bus sniffer driver nosy instead.
The drivers nosy and init_ohci1394_dma which do not interact with either of
the two IEEE 1394 stacks are not affected by the ieee1394 subsystem removal.
There are still some issues with the newer firewire subsystem compared to
the older one:
- The rare and quirky controllers ALi M52xx, Apple UniNorth v1, NVIDIA
NForce2 are even less well supported by firewire-ohci than by ohci1394.
I am looking into the M52xx issue.
- The experimental firewire-net is reportedly less stable than its
experimental cousin eth1394.
- Audio playback of a certain group of audio devices (ones based on DICE
chipset with EAP; supported by prerelease FFADO code) does not work yet.
This issue is still under investigation.
- There were some ieee1394 based out-of-the-mainline drivers. Of them,
only lisight, an audio driver for iSight webcams, seems still useful.
Work is underway to reimplement it on top of firewire-core.
All these remainig issues are minor; they should not stand in the way of
overall better user experience of IEEE 1394 on Linux, together with a
reduction in support efforts and maintenance burden. The coexistence of two
IEEE 1394 kernel driver stacks in the mainline since 2.6.22 shall end now,
as announced earlier this year.

because drivers/ieee1394/ will be deleted.
Additional changes:
- add some #include directives
- adjust to use firewire/ohci.h instead of ieee1394/ohci1394.h,
replace struct ti_ohci by a minimal struct ohci,
replace quadlet_t from ieee1394_types.h by u32
- two or three trivial stylistic changes
- __iomem annotation

The "flags" member of "struct wait_queue_t" is used in several places in
the kernel code without beeing initialized by init_wait(). "flags" is
used in bitwise operations.
If "flags" not initialized then unexpected behaviour may take place.
Incorrect flags might used later in code.
Added initialization of "wait_queue_t.flags" with zero value into
"init_wait".

With all the recent module loading cleanups, we've minimized the code
that sits under module_mutex, fixing various deadlocks and making it
possible to do most of the module loading in parallel.
However, that whole conversion totally missed the rather obscure code
that adds a new module to the list for BUG() handling. That code was
doubly obscure because (a) the code itself lives in lib/bugs.c (for
dubious reasons) and (b) it gets called from the architecture-specific
"module_finalize()" rather than from generic code.
Calling it from arch-specific code makes no sense what-so-ever to begin
with, and is now actively wrong since that code isn't protected by the
module loading lock any more.
So this commit moves the "module_bug_{finalize,cleanup}()" calls away
from the arch-specific code, and into the generic code - and in the
process protects it with the module_mutex so that the list operations
are now safe.
Future fixups:
- move the module list handling code into kernel/module.c where it
belongs.
- get rid of 'module_bug_list' and just use the regular list of modules
(called 'modules' - imagine that) that we already create and maintain
for other reasons.

Register_xenstore_notifier should guarantee that the caller gets
notified even if xenstore is already up.
Therefore we revert "do not notify callers from
register_xenstore_notifier" and set xenstored_read at the right time for
PV on HVM guests too.
In fact in case of PV on HVM guests xenstored is ready only after the
platform pci driver has completed the initialization, so do not set
xenstored_ready before the call to xenbus_probe().
This patch fixes a shutdown_event watcher registration bug that causes
"xm shutdown" not to work properly.

Building under memory pressure, with KSM on 2.6.36-rc5, collapsed with
an internal compiler error: typically indicating an error in swapping.
Perhaps there's a timing issue which makes it now more likely, perhaps
it's just a long time since I tried for so long: this bug goes back to
KSM swapping in 2.6.33.
Notice how reuse_swap_page() allows an exclusive page to be reused, but
only does SetPageDirty if it can delete it from swap cache right then -
if it's currently under Writeback, it has to be left in cache and we
don't SetPageDirty, but the page can be reused. Fine, the dirty bit
will get set in the pte; but notice how zap_pte_range() does not bother
to transfer pte_dirty to page_dirty when unmapping a PageAnon.
If KSM chooses to share such a page, it will look like a clean copy of
swapcache, and not be written out to swap when its memory is needed;
then stale data read back from swap when it's needed again.
We could fix this in reuse_swap_page() (or even refuse to reuse a
page under writeback), but it's more honest to fix my oversight in
KSM's write_protect_page(). Several days of testing on three machines
confirms that this fixes the issue they showed.

2.6.36-rc1 commit 21d0d443cdc1658a8c1484fdcece4803f0f96d0e "rmap:
resurrect page_address_in_vma anon_vma check" was right to resurrect
that check; but now that it's comparing anon_vma->roots instead of
just anon_vmas, there's a danger of oopsing on a NULL anon_vma.
In most cases no NULL anon_vma ever gets here; but it turns out that
occasionally KSM, when enabled on a forked or forking process, will
itself call page_address_in_vma() on a "half-KSM" page left over from
an earlier failed attempt to merge - whose page_anon_vma() is NULL.
It's my bug that those should be getting here at all: I thought they
were already dealt with, this oops proves me wrong, I'll fix it in
the next release - such pages are effectively pinned until their
process exits, since rmap cannot find their ptes (though swapoff can).
For now just work around it by making page_address_in_vma() safe (and
add a comment on why that check is wanted anyway). A similar check
in __page_check_anon_rmap() is safe because do_page_add_anon_rmap()
already excluded KSM pages.

Fix VMLINUZ_LOAD_ADDRESS calculation to be based on the length of
vmlinux.bin, the actual uncompressed kernel binary.
Previously it was based on the length of KBUILD_IMAGE (the unstripped ELF
vmlinux), which is bigger than vmlinux.bin. As a result, vmlinuz was
loaded into a memory address higher then actually needed - a problem for
small memory platforms.

utilizes that new syscall) is very confused. The fix has been tested with

Both python_scripting_ops and perl_scripting_ops have two global definitions.
One in trace-event-scripting.c and one in their respective scripting-engine
modules.
The issue is that depending on the linker order one definition or the other
is chosen. One is uninitialized (bss), while the other is initialized. If
the uninitialized version is chosen, then perf does not function properly.
This patch fixes this by adding the extern prefix to the definitions in
trace-event-scripting.c.

We currently use struct backing_dev_info for various different purposes.
Originally it was introduced to describe a backing device which includes
an unplug and congestion function and various bits of readahead information
and VM-relevant flags. We're also using for tracking dirty inodes for
writeback.
To make writeback properly find all inodes we need to only access the
per-filesystem backing_device pointed to by the superblock in ->s_bdi
inside the writeback code, and not the instances pointeded to by
inode->i_mapping->backing_dev which can be overriden by special devices
or might not be set at all by some filesystems.
Long term we should split out the writeback-relevant bits of struct
backing_device_info (which includes more than the current bdi_writeback)
and only point to it from the superblock while leaving the traditional
backing device as a separate structure that can be overriden by devices.
The one exception for now is the block device filesystem which really
wants different writeback contexts for it's different (internal) inodes
to handle the writeout more efficiently. For now we do this with
a hack in fs-writeback.c because we're so late in the cycle, but in
the future I plan to replace this with a superblock method that allows
