This makes use of 'check_gcc' facility when compiling for a Crusoe processor in order to choose the correct -falign or -malign compiler flags.

This adds suspend/resume capabilities to the meye driver.

This makes the sonypi driver forward the VAIO jog-dial events directly to the input subsystem as mouse wheel events. This way one is not required anymore to have an external daemon polling /dev/sonypi if interested only in jogdial events.

In most cases the fix is to add an struct module * member to the operations vector instead and manipulate the refcounts in the callers context. For the ALSA cases it was completly superflous (when will people get it that using an exported symbol will make it's module unloadable?..)

since we now properly reference-count the allocations and thus can't be freeing the thread structures from underneath the task running on another CPU. Move "free_uid(p->user)" and "security_task_free()" to __put_task_struct(), so that we're guaranteed to always have a user structure pointer.

Please accept this large patch against 2.5.62bk4 to update the Fusion-MPT driver from 2.03.01.01 to 2.05.00.03. This version contains full 2.5 kernel support (add, configuration & removal of disks, new module hooks), performance enhancements, removal of obsolete code that is 2.4 (or earlier) specific and removal of blank spaces at end of lines. Tested overnight on 2.5.62bk3 and ran some tests against bk4 this morning on both machines. Things appear to be fine - have not tested the two failure conditions today. The driver has been tested on two different platforms: - P4 4-processor o boot controller o built into kernel o disk add, configure, remove o bus, target reset o device offline cases o cross channel I/O stress tests w/ Fibre and SCSI - Athlon uniprocessor, IDE boot o Ran a test that repeatedly loads the driver, mounts disks, runs a short I/O test (20mins) then unload the driver components in a different order Failures: o Unable to boot if boot controller is built as a module - pivot_root fails (Happens if IDE or SCSI boot) o Problems when formatting large SCSI disks. On P4 w/ 2.5.60, there were no difficulties formatting a 36GB disk. On Athlon, mkfs.ext2 would never send a write command to the driver (verified w/ SCSI trace and driver debug). Reads completed successfully. mkfs.ext2 would not exit and is shown as a running process. Smaller partitions were formatted correctly. W/ 2.5.62 failures on P4 and Athlon. Same error with other drivers. 100% reproducible.

Bill Irwin was talking about hw_interrupt_type.set_affinity and kirq. When I went looking, I failed to find this initialization. Here are some nice, easy-to-find, named initializers.

We're calling mmdrop() under spin_lock_irq(&rq->lock). But mmdrop calls vfree(), which calls smp_call_function(). It is not legal to call smp_call_function() with irq's off. Because another CPU may be running smp_call_function() against _this_ CPU, which deadlocks. So the patch arranges for mmdrop() to not be called under spin_lock_irq(&rq->lock).

We are leaving local interrupts disabled coming out of exit_notify(). But we are about to call wait_task_inactive() which spins, waiting for another CPU to end a task. If that CPU has issued smp_call_function() to this CPU, deadlock. So the patch enables interrupts again before returning from exit_notify(). Also, exit_notify() returns with preemption disabled, so there is no need to perform another preempt_disable() in do_exit().

This potentially helps debugging, since otherwise a double fault would generate a triple fault and then reboot the machine. Now instead it can print out a note about where the problem happened, unless all the kernel data structures are truly buggered.

it's a noop in 2.5 now that the behvaiour of implicitly exporting all symbols is gone.

This patch removes the devfs interface code in mtrr that has been stubbed out by an ifdef forever. It's one of the few remaining users of regular files on devfs so there's some urge for me to get rid of it :)

small updates to bring us nearer the lm_Sensors CVS (docs, comments, missing statics, named initializers). I still need to review their actual code changes before submitting those..
