Yet another patch for the adm1021 chip driver. I refined the detection
code a bit in order to prevent chip misdetection. Some chips handled
by the adm1021 driver are hard to detect and identify (LM84 and
MAX1617) so we tend to accept any chip it the valid I2C address range
as one of these. It has caused much, much trouble already. See these
threads for example:

http://archives.andrew.net.au/lm-sensors/msg04448.html
http://archives.andrew.net.au/lm-sensors/msg04624.html
http://archives.andrew.net.au/lm-sensors/msg05560.html
http://archives.andrew.net.au/lm-sensors/msg05871.html
http://archives.andrew.net.au/lm-sensors/msg06754.html
http://archives.andrew.net.au/lm-sensors/msg07181.html

And this ticket:

http://www2.lm-sensors.nu/~lm78/readticket.cgi?ticket=1434

So I thought it would be good to prevent this kind of problems if
possible, and read the 8 datasheets again in search for ways to refine
the detection method.

I changed it in sensors-detect already, and had positive feedback from
one user. I will also backport the changes to the driver to the 2.4
version we have in CVS.

What the patch does:

* Use unused bits of two more registers (configuration and conversion
rate) to reduce misdetections.

* Return with -ENODEV if the detection fails.

* Change the order in which we try to identify the chips. We better
finish with the LM84 and the MAX1617, in this order, because they are
harder to identify and are more likely to result in false positives.

* Refine LM84 detection. The LM84 has less features than the other
chips(chip cannot be stopped, conversion rate cannot be set, no low
limits) so it has extra unused bits.

* Do not intialize the chip if it was detected as an LM84. This one
cannot be stopped so why would we try to start it again? And as said
right before, conversion rate isn't changeable either.

Note that I couldn't test the changes on any supported chip since I
don't own any. Still I believe that they should be applied, since the
current code already broke one system and seriously harmed several
others. I believe it's not critical if it turns out that we reject
valid chips (which shouldn't happen if the datasheets are correct,
anyway). People will simply let us know and we'll be less restrictive.
In the meantime they can force the driver. That said, testers are
welcome, as usual.

Here is a patch that updates the w83627hf driver in the exact same way I
did recently for the w83781d driver. There were two problems:
1* Fan divisor storing code was ugly, badly ripped from the 2.4 w83627hf
   driver and/or the 2.6 w83781d driver.
2* Setting fan divisors wouldn't preserve fan mins.

Exactly the same as w83781d:
http://archives.andrew.net.au/lm-sensors/msg06952.html
http://archives.andrew.net.au/lm-sensors/msg07008.html

No surprise since the w83627hf driver is a fork of the w83781d driver.

Since the two drivers are strongly similar, I took the code directly
from the updated w83781d driver. I cannot test the w83627hf driver
(testers welcome BTW) but this makes me feel confident that the code is
correct.

To make it clear, this single patch is the w83627f equivalent of the
three patches I submitted for the w83781d:
* Cleanup
* Refactoring
* Setting fan_div preserves fan_min
All in one (much better looking BTW).

Quoting myself:

> 3* Drop adm1021's limit init. This was already done in the 2.4 driver
> and should have been done in 2.6 as well.

Here is a patch that does that. It also prevents bit 7 (and unused bits)
of configuration register from being reset, as was discussed before:
  http://archives.andrew.net.au/lm-sensors/msg04593.html
That second part needs to be backported to the 2.4 driver, and I will do
so.

Additionally, we get rid of a useless label.

The patch is untested (I don't own any supported chip) but quite
straightforward IMHO.

Quoting myself:

> While testing, I found a corner case that isn't handled properly. It
> doesn't seem to be handled by the lm78 and the asb100 either. Setting

The following patch addesses the issue. Tested to work on my AS99127F
rev.1 (which means that only the changes to the w83781d driver were
actually tested). Testers welcome.

This simple patch discards an out-of-date comment in the adm1021 driver.
I've done the same in our CVS repository where many more drivers were
affected.

I agree it's not very important, but I prefer it to be done before any
driver with the error is used as a base to port a new driver, and the
misinformation spreads.

Please find below a patch against kernel 2.6.5-rc1 to add the pcf8574
driver (an I/O expander for the I2C bus). I have ported it from the 2.4
version, and it includes some fixes and simplifications.

It has been reviewed by Jean Delvare on IRC.

Quoting myself:

Here is the promised refactoring. Tested on my AS99127F rev.1, seems to
work. As for the previous patch, there is a part that I cannot test with
the AS99127F, so additional testing is welcome.

I agree this makes the code slightly less readable, but this saves 60
lines of code (1754 bytes, around 3% of the driver total), and is
actually far less complex that I first feared.

We no longer have a CPU_OFFLINE notifier: we freeze the machine and
kill the CPU atomically.  Remove it.

Various files keep per-cpu caches which need to be freed/moved when a
CPU goes down.  All under CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU ifdefs.

scsi.c: drain dead cpu's scsi_done_q onto this cpu.

buffer.c: brelse the bh_lrus queue for dead cpu.

timer.c: migrate timers from dead cpu, being careful of lock order vs
	__mod_timer.

radix_tree.c: free dead cpu's radix_tree_preloads

page_alloc.c: empty dead cpu's nr_pagecache_local into nr_pagecache, and
	free pages on cpu's local cache.

slab.c: stop reap_timer for dead cpu, adjust each cache's free limit, and
	free each slab cache's per-cpu block.

swap.c: drain dead cpu's lru_add_pvecs into ours, and empty its committed_space
	counter into global counter.

dev.c: drain device queues from dead cpu into this one.

flow.c: drain dead cpu's flow cache.

Keep track of kswapds: it's OK that they get moved off a node when the
last CPU goes down, but when a CPU comes back, we should try to move
the kswapd back onto its node.

Workqueues need to bring up/destroy the per-cpu thread on cpu up/down.

1) Add a global list of workqueues, and keep the name in the structure
   (to name the newly created thread).

2) Remove BUG_ON in run_workqueue, since thread is dragged off CPU when
   it goes down.

3) Lock out cpu up/down in flush_workqueue, create_workqueue and
   destroy_workqueue.

4) Add notifier to add/destroy workqueue threads, and take over work.

Change ksoftirqd not to assume it's on the CPU: when a cpu goes down,
it will be rudely dragged off.  Since do_softirq() uses
smp_processor_id(), it's easiest to disable preemption, check that the
cpu is still up, then call do_softirq().

If the cpu is actually offline, wait for the notifier, which kills us.

Take over tasklets from dead cpu in the notifier.

Clean up redundant double assignment in CPU_UP callback.

Add hook for RCU to handle jobs on dead cpu.  Requires new
tasklet_kill_immediate for RCU to clean up its tasklet (which might
have been about to run, so tasklet_kill won't work).

Change the migration thread to directly use its cpu arg, rather than
smp_processor_id(): if a cpu goes up then down rapidly, it can be on
the wrong cpu just before it is stopped.

Add code to stop the migration thread on CPU_DEAD and CPU_UP_CANCELED.

Remove the (bogus) priority of the notifier.

We need the migration thread to be RT as soon as the CPU comes online:
for example, stop_machine() (another RT task) expects to yield to it.
Extract the core of setscheduler() and do that when the migration
thread is created.  rq lock is a precaution against the (theoretical)
possibility of someone else doing setscheduer on this thread at the
same time.

Currently the migration thread re-enables irqs, then calls
move_task_away which disables IRQs again and actually does the move.
This means there is a race where the migration thread gets preempted,
and the target CPU can go down.

Hold irqs disabled in migration thread across move_task_away(), which
now doesn't need to save flags (the other caller is the hotplug CPU
code, where irqs are also disabled).

Grab cpu lock around sched_migrate_task() and sys_sched_setaffinity().
This is a noop without CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU.

The sched_migrate_task may have a performance penalty on NUMA if lots
of exec rebalancing is happening, however this only applies to
CONFIG_NUMA and CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU, which noone does at the moment
anyway.

Also, the scheduler in -mm solves the race another way, so this will
vanish then.

Don't move tasks onto offline cpus in load_balance and wake_task (the
latter is caused by a completion run from stop_machine).

Note that cpu_is_offline() is a noop when CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=n.

Add "online" sysfs attribute to cpus to bring them up and down.

Again, only under CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU.

Implement cpu_down(): uses stop_machine to freeze the machine, then
uses (arch-specific) __cpu_disable() and migrate_all_tasks().

Whole thing under CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU, so doesn't break archs which
don't define that.

remove_suid() ignores return value of notify_change()->i_op->setattr().
This mean, that even if file system fails to clear suid bit,
generic_file_aio_write_nolock() proceeds with write, which is unsafe.

Actually, even ext2's ->setattr() can fail, when trying to update ACL, for
example.

Attached patch modifies remove_suid() to return result of ->setattr(), and
updates in-tree callers.

Whilst looking at the memory overcommit logic I noticed that the pointer to

This patch removes the usage of __devinit in the srs methods of the sonypi

From: Grant Grundler <grundler@parisc-linux.org>

This patch adds a comment to "Documentation/SubmittingDrivers" about the
importance of adding a Copyright notice in submitted code.

The parisc-linux port has neglected this in the past and I've been slowly
trying to correct that (along with proper GPL header).

While I make it sound like GPL is the "only" acceptable license, I'll leave
it up to lawyers to determine what other appropriate license could be used
for a new driver.

This patch was needed against a pristine 2.6.4 kernel when compiling with
"gcc 3.4 _very recent_" using the -Os option.

Without this patch, modules would use a non-inline memcmp() and then not
find it in the kernel, causing depmod to complain and some modules not to
load.

The additional comment:

http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=320#c1

Is wrong, because it will send the command twice.

We only want to see if the command got success, thus is not necessary
to test against < 0 (if the return value is not 1, we got a error).

Note that I'm using the function (bad) style.
