Rename the ibm-acpi driver to thinkpad-acpi. ThinkPads are not even made
by IBM anymore, so it is high time to rename the driver...
The name thinkpad-acpi was used sometime ago by a thinkpad-specific hotkey
driver by Erik Rigtorp, around the 2.6.8-2.6.10 time frame. The driver
apparently never got merged into mainline (it did make some trips through
-mm). ibm-acpi was merged soon after, making its debut in 2.6.10.
The reuse of the thinkpad-acpi name shouldn't be a problem as far as user
confusion goes, as Erik's thinkpad-acpi apparently didn't get widespread
use in the Linux ThinkPad community and most hits for thinkpad-acpi in
google point to ibm-acpi anyway.
Erik, if you read this, please consider the reuse of the thinkpad-acpi name
as a compliment to your effort to make ThinkPads more useful to all of us.

2. Media detection is performed
3. If detection recognizes supportable media, new device is registered

In order to support correct suspend and resume several changes were needed:
1. Switch from work_struct to tasklet for command handling. When device
suspend is called workqueues are already frozen and can not be used.
2. Separate host initialization code from driver's probe and don't rely
on interrupts for host initialization. This, in turn, addresses two
problems:
a) Resume needs to re-initialize the host, but can not assume that
device interrupts were already re-armed.
b) Previously, probe will return successfully before really knowing
the state of the host, as host interrupts were not armed in time.
Now it uses polling to determine the real host state before returning.
3. Separate termination code from driver's remove. Termination may be caused
by resume, if media changed type or became unavailable during suspend.

The SGI PCI-RT card, based on the SGI IOC4 chip, will be made available on

misnomer for the IOC4 base device driver to live under drivers/sn, and
would complicate builds for non-SN2.
This patch moves the IOC4 base driver code from drivers/sn to drivers/misc,
and updates the associated Makefiles and Kconfig files to allow building on
non-SN2 configs. Due to the resulting change in link order, it is now
necessary to use late_initcall() for IOC4 subdriver initialization.

Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead
of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the
Linux kernel.
The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack
space and code to pass it around. On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter
from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path
(ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()).
Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do
something different with the variable. On FRV, for instance, the address is
maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception
handling.
Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down
through up to twenty or so layers of functions. Consider a USB character
device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its
interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller. A character
device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input
layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing.
I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386. I've runtested the
main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers.
I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile
with minimal configurations.
This will affect all archs. Mostly the changes should be relatively easy.
Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one:
struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs);
And put the old one back at the end:
set_irq_regs(old_regs);
Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ().
In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary:
- update_process_times(user_mode(regs));
- profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs);
+ update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs()));
+ profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING);
I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself,
except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode().
Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers:
(*) input_dev() is now gone entirely. The regs pointer is no longer stored in
the input_dev struct.
(*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking. It does
something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs
pointer or not.
(*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type
irq_handler_t.

A simple module to test Linux Kernel Dump mechanism. This module uses
jprobes to install/activate pre-defined crash points. At different crash
points, various types of crashing scenarios are created like a BUG(),
panic(), exception, recursive loop and stack overflow. The user can
activate a crash point with specific type by providing parameters at the
time of module insertion. Please see the file header for usage
information. The module is based on the Linux Kernel Dump Test Tool by
Fernando <http://lkdtt.sourceforge.net>.
This module could be merged with mainline. Jprobes is used here so that the
context in which crash point is hit, could be maintained. This implements
all the crash points as done by LKDTT except the one in the middle of
tasklet_action().
