      convert 'memory' sysdev_class to a regular subsystem · 10fbcf4c
      Kay Sievers authored 
      This moves the 'memory sysdev_class' over to a regular 'memory' subsystem
and converts the devices to regular devices. The sysdev drivers are
implemented as subsystem interfaces now.

After all sysdev classes are ported to regular driver core entities, the
sysdev implementation will be entirely removed from the kernel.

      cpu: convert 'cpu' and 'machinecheck' sysdev_class to a regular subsystem · 8a25a2fd

and converts the devices to regular devices. The sysdev drivers are
implemented as subsystem interfaces now.

After all sysdev classes are ported to regular driver core entities, the
sysdev implementation will be entirely removed from the kernel.

Userspace relies on events and generic sysfs subsystem infrastructure
from sysdev devices, which are made available with this conversion.

      kref: Remove the memory barriers · 3c8ed889
      Peter Zijlstra authored 
      Commit 1b0b3b99 ("kref: fix CPU ordering with respect to krefs")
wrongly adds memory barriers to kref.

It states:

  some atomic operations are only atomic, not ordered. Thus a CPU is allowed
  to reorder memory references to an object to before the reference is
  obtained. This fixes it.

While true, it fails to show why this is a problem. I say it is not a
problem because if there is a race with kref_put() such that we could
end up referencing a free'd object without this memory barrier, we
would still have that race with the memory barrier.

The kref_put() in question could complete (and free the object) before
the atomic_inc() and we'd still be up shit creek.

The kref_init() case is even worse, if your object is published at this
time you're so wrong the memory barrier won't make a difference what
so ever. If its not published, the act of publishing should include
the needed barriers/locks to make sure all writes prior to the act of
publishing are complete such that others will only observe a complete
object.

      This a use example of the regs32 utilities in debugfs, although
this fuse use ":" as separator between name and value, and debugs
uses "=" (as it looked to me a more common practice).

      debugfs: add tools to printk 32-bit registers · 1a087c6a
      Alessandro Rubini authored 
      Some debugfs file I deal with are mostly blocks of registers,
i.e. lines of the form "<name> = 0x<value>". Some files are only
registers, some include registers blocks among other material.  This
patch introduces data structures and functions to deal with both
cases.  I expect more users of this over time.

      USB: convert some miscellanies drivers to use module_usb_driver() · fe748483
      Greg Kroah-Hartman authored 
      This converts the remaining USB drivers in the kernel to use the
module_usb_driver() macro which makes the code smaller and a bit
simpler.

Added bonus is that it removes some unneeded kernel log messages about
drivers loading and/or unloading.
