This adds an early polled-mode "uart" console driver, based on Andi Kleen's
early_printk work.

The difference is that this locates the UART device directly by its MMIO or
I/O port address, so we don't have to make assumptions about how ttyS
devices will be named.  After the normal serial driver starts, we try to
locate the matching ttyS device and start a console there.

Sample usage:
    console=uart,io,0x3f8
    console=uart,mmio,0xff5e0000,115200n8

If the baud rate isn't specified, we peek at the UART to figure it out.

With the inline symlink shmem_inode_info structure is overwritten with data
until vfs_inode, and that caused the ->policy to be a corrupted pointer
during unlink.  It wasn't immediatly easy to see what was going on due the
random mm corruption that generated a weird oops, it looked more like a
race condition on freed memory at first.

There's simply no need to set a policy for inodes, since the idx is always
zero.  All we have to do is to initialize the data structure (the semaphore
may need to run during the page allocation for the non-inline symlink) but
we don't need to allocate the rb nodes.  This way we don't need to call
mpol_free during the destroy_inode (not doable at all if the policy rbtree
is corrupt by the inline symlink ;).

An equivalent version of this patch based on a 2.6.5 tree with additional
numa features on top of this (i.e.  interleaved by default, and that's
prompted me to add a comment in the LNK init path), works fine in a numa
simulation on my laptop (untested on the bare hardware).

PREEMPT_RT on SMP systems triggered weird (very high) load average
values rather easily, which turned out to be a mainline kernel
->nr_uninterruptible handling bug in try_to_wake_up().

the following code:

        if (old_state == TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE) {
                old_rq->nr_uninterruptible--;

potentially executes with old_rq potentially being != rq, and hence
updating ->nr_uninterruptible without the lock held. Given a
sufficiently concurrent preemption workload the count can get out of
whack and updates might get lost, permanently skewing the global count. 
Nothing except the load-average uses nr_uninterruptible() so this
condition can go unnoticed quite easily.

the fix is to update ->nr_uninterruptible always on the runqueue where
the task currently is. (this is also a tiny performance plus for
try_to_wake_up() as a stackslot gets freed up.)

while fixing this bug i found three other ->nr_uninterruptible related
bugs:

 - the update should be moved from deactivate_task() into schedule(),
   beacause e.g. setscheduler() does deactivate_task()+activate_task(),
   which in turn may result in a -1 counter-skew if setscheduler() is
   done on a task asynchronously, which task is still on the runqueue
   but has already set ->state to TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE.

   sys_sched_setscheduler() is used rarely, but the bug is real. (The
   fix is also a small performance enhancement.)

   The rules for ->nr_uninterruptible updating are the following: it
   gets increased by schedule() only, when a task is moved off the
   runqueue and it has a state of TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE. It is decreased
   by try_to_wake_up(), by the first wakeup that materially changes the
   state from TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE back to TASK_RUNNING, and moves the
   task to the runqueue.

 - on CPU-hotplug down we might zap a CPU that has a nonzero counter.
   Due to the fuzzy nature of the global counter a CPU might hold a
   nonzero ->nr_uninterruptible count even if it has no tasks anymore.
   The solution is to 'migrate' the counter to another runqueue.

 - we should not return negative counter values from the
   nr_uninterruptible() function, since it accesses them without taking
   the runqueue locks, so the total sum might be slightly above or
   slightly below the real count.

I tested the attached patch on x86 SMP and it solves the load-average
problem. (I have tested CPU_HOTPLUG compilation but not functionality.) 
I think this is a must-have for 2.6.10, because there are apps that go
berzerk if load-average is too high (e.g. sendmail).

this patch improves rpaphp_find_pci_dev. First it uses the for_each_pci_dev
macro instead of the while loop, making this hotplug safe (which is a good
idea in a hotplug driver, isn't it?). Then it removes retval_dev. retval_dev
is set to the found device when something is found, NULL otherwise. If
nothing is found dev will be NULL at the end of the loop anyway and the
found device if we found something, no need for retval_dev then. And a very
small coding style fix.

Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <greg@kroah.com>

This patch started as as405 from Alan Stern.  It has been re-generated
against the current tip of the BK tree.

For quite a while we've had a bunch of state-transition testing code in the
driver, to report if anything bad ever happens (like the SCSI midlayer
trying to queue a second command before the first one finishes).  None of
those tests triggered in a very long time; this aspect of the code appears
to be extremely stable.

So this patch removes all those tests for illegal values of us->sm_state.
It turns out that sm_state was used only for one other purpose: to check
whether a command had timed out and caused a SCSI abort.  That piece of
information can easily be stored in a single new bitflag (which is called
calling US_FLIDX_TIMED_OUT) and doing so makes us->sm_state completely
unused.  Hence the patch removes it from the structure.

This is patch as399, originally from Alan Stern.

A recent change to the scsi_probe_lun() routine now allows host drivers to
specify a device's INQUIRY length in a way that cannot be overridden by
the value returned from the device.  This patch makes usb-storage set the
length to 36; now buggy devices won't be able to cause trouble by saying
that they have 37 bytes of INQUIRY data available.

The only way this value could be changed is if someone creates a SCSI
blacklist entry with the BLIST_INQUIRY_58 flag -- and no one would do that
for a USB device (I hope)!
